Chapter 1291: Chapter 1114: Sea Clan_2

But with this, the outcome is predictable, and nearly no one survived.

“Jiu, I fear the Sea Clan won’t stop here. Once they’ve secured the coastal areas, they might flow upstream through the river mouths, claiming the rivers and lakes throughout the East Continent!” Li Zhixuan said gravely.

This is the dream of every major tribe within the Sea Clan! It’s their path to lead the Sea Clan to greater strength!

Previously, there was no chance, and once the Immortal Tao took the coastal areas, there was not even a glimmer of hope.

But times have changed, and the world is different now!

Now, with constant internal conflicts within the East Continent’s Immortal Tao, the Cave Abyss Sect resisting the Sea Clan has been trapped by Demon Cultivators, and the obstacles to the Sea Clan invading the land’s waterways have been mostly cleared.

The Sea Clan will absolutely not let go of such a good opportunity!

Hearing this, Li Zhirui pondered for a moment, and said, “For now, we can only seal off every river mouth in the Shanhai State, so they can’t get in.”

But this is merely a temporary measure and does not solve the problem.

The best solution would be to drive the Sea Clan back, but the Li family doesn’t have that power, and can only try to enhance their strength to protect themselves.

No one opposed Li Zhirui’s idea; the family members began taking action, using mana to move hills and place them at the bottom of lakes, blocking the river mouths.

Just as Li Zhirui and Li Zhixuan’s dialogue indicated, once the Sea Clan stabilizes the coastal regions, they will whip forth, heading west.

“Truly an era of calamity, the world is in utter chaos.”

Originally, the entire East Continent was already aflame with battles, with the Immortal Tao and the Devil Beast forces wreaking havoc, leaving the East Continent even more broken.

But now, here comes another overwhelming force—the Sea Clan Water Devils!

Countless Water Devils flowed upstream, occupying various waterways, whether lakes, rivers, or even small streams no more than a meter wide, the Water Devils simply refused to let go!

Though the Shanhai State sealed the river mouths, other places remain, and the bodies of water are interconnected, so Water Devils gradually began appearing.

Upon discovering this, the Li family acted secretly and swiftly to eradicate the Water Devils that had infiltrated.

But this is not a long-term solution. Though Water Devils are clumsy, they are not without intelligence; soon enough, they will detect the issue.

By then, another fierce battle will be inevitable!

“Alas! If the coastal regions could have been held, it wouldn’t have let the Water Devils into the mainland, occupying so much water territory. I wonder if those major powers regret their actions after seeing the current situation,” Li Zhirui murmured.

He does not believe it’s some kind of scheme, as those individuals couldn’t possibly account for everything, with the key factor being the Cave Abyss Sect, having a Heavenly Immortal sitting in protection!

Thus, the cultivators, facing the Water Devil invasion, were surely shocked.

There are just too many!

The Water Devils, like ants, thronged forward. Ordinary cultivators dared not approach or provoke, but could only watch from afar as they occupied all the waterways in the area.

Some less powerful forces felt relieved as long as the Water Devils didn’t act against them.

But many cultivators have already seen through the Sea Clan’s wolfish ambitions!

Thus, those high and mighty sects and families, indifferent until now, began to take action.

Though they had numerous schemes during this great calamity, they had to admit their power was extremely formidable.

Once they moved, it was with the force of thunder; large numbers of cultivators flocked, showing no mercy to the Water Devils, directly slaughtering them!

“Only reacting now to take action against us? Too late!”

A certain Individual Immortal, looking at the motley crew before him, had a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, and unleashed a storm of thunder, killing hundreds of Water Devils in an instant.

However, they did not know that the Sea Clan had already achieved its purpose upon entering the inland waters!

…

The night.

Since the outbreak of the great calamity, the universe seemed veiled in a thin layer of gauze, misty and unclear.

Tonight was the same.

The moonlight was like water but far dimmer than before.

At this time, Li Chengshuo, who hadn’t returned for a long time, came back to Mount Wanxian!

“Father! Mother! Lady Xuan!”

Li Chengshuo met only a few elders, not many family members.

“What happened? Did anything occur among the stars?” Jiang Fengwu asked urgently and worriedly.

Since she fully resolved the Catastrophic Qi, she no longer left the family grounds, except in emergencies. At other times, she remained secluded, cultivating.

Without the influence of Catastrophic Qi, although comprehending the laws became more difficult, Jiang Fengwu persisted, and through this endurance, her mastery of Fengshui Laws steadily increased!

Perhaps soon, Jiang Fengwu could attempt to break through to the late Integration stage.

“It’s not about me or my brother; it’s what the Sea Clan Water Devils are doing that will impact the entire Primal Spirit Realm!” Li Chengshuo said solemnly.

Without waiting for questions, she continued, “Everyone knows about the Sea Clan running around various bodies of water these past few months. They aim to seize these bodies of water and become the local Water Gods!”

“And what’s currently being plotted by the Sea Clan is collective Divine Enthronement!”

“If they succeed, the Sea Clan’s strength will soar, gaining divine status, and if they fulfill their duties well, it will further boost the Sea Clan’s luck.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces grew serious.

Since the Sea Clan is already very powerful, if they acquire numerous Water God positions, they might surpass the Immortal Tao’s major powers by a lot!

Li Zhirui suddenly understood, realizing why those Water Devils invading the Shanhai State’s waterways behaved so oddly—they had hidden motives.

Perhaps until now, forces from all sides are baffled by the Sea Clan’s strange behaviors, speculating about their true intentions.

“How did you know about such a major matter?” Li Zhirui gazed sharply at Li Chengshuo.

Despite these two children being exalted as Taiyin and Sun Star Gods, there were already powerful figures like Doumu Lord and Ziwei Star God within the Star God Lineage. Even if their status is respectable and special, the world speaks of strength!

Moreover, they were generally cautious, seldom interacting with the outside world.

How could such important news possibly be known by two unrecognized Star Gods?

“Did someone specifically tell you this, causing you to rush to Mount Wanxian upon hearing?”

Li Chengshuo nodded, indeed as her father guessed—someone deliberately used her to convey this matter, then sought ways to disrupt what the Water Devils were currently doing!

From this situation, the interests of the Immortal Tao and the Divine Path had converged!

The Immortal Tao cannot allow those Water Devils to occupy various bodies of water, as it poses too great a threat, ready for intervention; the Divine Path is similar, not tolerating the Water God Lineage to entirely originate from the Sea Clan.

Most importantly, if the Sea Clan succeeds, then the Water God Lineage’s positions become its internal legacy, uniting all Water Gods and the Sea Clan’s power, absolutely becoming a superhegemon capable of crushing any other force!

Wouldn’t this demand all other forces to submit to the Sea Clan’s tyranny?

“Why didn’t he directly contact those major Immortal Tao sects but let you carry the message instead?”

Li Zhirui furrowed his brow, pondering that if Li Chengshuo and Li Chengsheng became Star Gods in the early days, other Star Gods might still be unaware of their identities. But after so many years, despite every conceivable effort to cover it up, it’s impossible to continue concealing the truth.

Knowing the Li family’s strength, merely a few Individual Immortals, such matters affecting the entire Immortal Tao and even the entire Primal Spirit Realm’s landscape, how could it fall into their hands?

“Father, rest assured, it’s not only our family involved in this matter but other forces as well.”
