Chapter 1337: Chapter 1137: Return_2

Therefore, even if the Cave Abyss Sect improves it, it’s far inferior to other Earth Immortal cultivation techniques.

However, this doesn’t matter to Li Mingyao; he doesn’t plan to perfect the cultivation technique but wants to use it as a reference for the family to supplement high-level Mortal Realm and Immortal Realm methods to complete the family’s “Earth Spirit Tao Record” and “Wanling Sutra.”

Speaking of which, the “Wanling Sutra” as the initial fundamental inheritance of the Li family, has gradually faded away now.

The reason is still because it currently can only be cultivated to the Mahayana realm, with no path forward!

Unlike the “Earth Spirit Tao Record,” which also lacks Immortal Realm methods, the gap is always comparative.

Initially, Li Chengshuo wanted to deduce the subsequent methods for the “Wanling Sutra,” but before she could take action, she ascended the Taiyin Star and became the Moon God.

From then on, the Li family lacked a capable and influential leader, so the subsequent deductions of cultivation techniques became indefinitely delayed.

Speaking of which!

Li Mingyao suppressed his inner excitement, showing not a hint on his face, and deliberately nitpicked, saying: “The Cave Abyss Sect has strategized well, using such an incomplete cultivation technique to challenge the Li family.”

“What does the Honorable God think?”

Liu Caiming no longer kept blindly agreeing and instead became quite firm.

Li Mingyao stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled heartily, saying: “Your sect is so generous; how could I refuse?”

“Now, let’s see the Honorable God’s means, but by all means, keep the Li family from being at ease, create more troubles for them.”

“Understood.”

Having said that, Li Mingyao waved a hand, directly sending him out.

As for oaths, neither side mentioned them tacitly.

Liu Caiming naturally wouldn’t leave room for criticism, while Li Mingyao, who planned to deliver the cultivation technique to his family, couldn’t proactively bring it up either.

After the transaction, Li Mingyao immediately informed the family, dispatching someone to retrieve the cultivation technique, along with the entire process they discussed.

As for how to create chaos and act for the Cave Abyss Sect, that would be arranged by the clan leader and others.

Under their tacit cooperation, the performance by the Li family and Li Mingyao was very realistic, fooling the Cave Abyss Sect’s spies in Shanhai State, naturally also fooling those sect leaders and elders in high places.

These trivial matters, Li Zhirui did not intervene, occasionally following the scripted arrangement to have intense fights with Li Mingyao, making those spies believe him more.

Yet, just after fooling the Cave Abyss Sect, the Hundred Rainbow Sect suddenly came to trouble the Li family!

And they came under the banner of avenging Xu Shenzhang and other sect elders, directly assaulting Mount Wanxian!

It wasn’t that they hadn’t previously gathered information; rather, they sent quite a few Individual Immortals this time, seven in number, and none of them were early-stage; four were late-stage.

With such formidable strength, they were confident that capturing the Li family wouldn’t be a problem.

“Hand over the murderers of our sect’s elders Zhang Zongkang, Xu Shenzhang, and Jiang He, then we can forgive the past!” Zhao Shusong shouted loudly, like thunder rolling, shaking people’s ears painfully.

Of course, these words were merely talk; anyone who believed it would be foolish! They just wanted to occupy the moral high ground.

“Where did this squawking beast come from to make noise here!”

Upon receiving the news, Li Zhirui immediately appeared, looking coldly at the seven Individual Immortals before him, fierce and confident, not backing down despite facing seven of them.

This scene instantly provoked the seven of them, diminishing their underestimation considerably but definitely not causing them to retreat. Instead, it triggered their competitive psychology, and each completely unleashed their pressure.

Suddenly, several light pillars emerged in the sky, surrounding Li Zhirui.

“Ha!”

Li Zhirui sneered, ridiculing: “Bunch of fools!”

Such tactics completely exposed their strengths and weaknesses, allowing Li Zhirui to better target the weaker few.

“Presumptuous!”

For so many years, no one had dared to insult them to their face; now suddenly hearing this from a cultivator less powerful than them, not even good Qi cultivation skills could suppress the anger within.

In the next moment, all seven acted simultaneously, the whirlwind howled, lightning danced, water and fire rushed in, various divine powers exerted together, aiming to shatter the obstructive Mountain Protection Array before them.

Buzz—

Having been prepared long ago, Jiang Fengwu couldn’t hide it from exposing himself, fully activating the Great Array, instantly making thousands of stars twinkle, the sun and Taiyin simultaneously appearing in the sky.

The originally somewhat ordinary Great Array suddenly became extraordinary and mysterious, making the seven’s expressions drastically change.

“Wasn’t it said that the Li family was merely a newly ascended family of Individual Immortals? How could they have set up such a powerful formation?”

But the subsequent changes were even more astonishing to them.

Three Water Devils in the Individual Immortal Realm appeared in their true form; just their massive bodies, thousands of feet in size, were enough to bring strong intimidation to them.

Mu didn’t show the true form of a Kylin, but the powerful pressure exuding from him made the seven dare not underestimate him.

“Three Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts, one unidentified Spirit Beast, an Individual Immortal Realm Array Master who hasn’t revealed himself, plus Li Zhirui before us, and the hidden Sword Cultivator Li Zhixuan.”

Zhao Shusong’s face turned faintly pale; they never thought the newly ascended family of Individual Immortals in their intel would possess such formidable strength.

Among them, quite a few people already regretted, worried about the actions to come.

“Let’s go!”

Zhao Shusong was very decisive, turning into a stream of light and rushing out in an instant.

As for those fellow cultivators? As the saying goes, spare oneself over fellow daoists! At worst, they would come later to the Li family to avenge them if given the chance.

The remaining six didn’t react slowly, or rather, upon witnessing the Li family’s strength, the desire to flee arose immediately within.

“They run quite quickly.”

Li Zhirui’s tone was full of disdain, but he didn’t pursue them.

After all, it’s challenging to chase and kill without trapping them beforehand, and there’s worry whether they’ve set up ambushes as well.

“Why did the Hundred Rainbow Sect suddenly trouble the family?”

Li Zhirui mused, “Could it be because of the relic taken away by the Cave Abyss Sect long ago?”

From their appearance, aiming straight for Mount Wanxian, someone must have deliberately pointed them here!

And unsurprisingly, it should be those three deceased cultivators, Xu Shenzhang.

The three might have left a will or a plea for help before coming, discovered by the Hundred Rainbow Sect after their deaths.

Why couldn’t it be the Cave Abyss Sect maneuvering? Because, most likely, they didn’t know Xu Shenzhang and the three.

At that time, the Cave Abyss Sect was trapped in a crisis, with demonic cultivators breaking their mountain gate, severing the inheritance; how could they spare thought for external events?

“Alas! Who’d have thought that people dead for so many years would still bring trouble to the family.”

Li Zhirui sighed; that relic had long been taken away, yet no one knew, and the Li family knew but dared not announce.

Already oppressed by the Cave Abyss Sect, announcing the relic might invite immediate suppression.

“Why don’t you personally go to the Cave Abyss State and secretly disperse news of the relic?”

Jiang Fengwu came over and suggested, saying: “Even if it can’t divert the Hundred Rainbow Sect’s attention, at least it can bring some trouble to the Cave Abyss Sect, distracting them from focusing too much on us.”

As for why Li Zhirui should personally go?

Of course, it’s because he can shield against Heavenly Calculation Deduction, without worry of discovery by the Cave Abyss Sect.

“Hmm, that indeed sounds like a good idea.”

Li Zhirui pondered, considering this move to redirect disaster…

No!

This was clearly the mess caused by the Cave Abyss Sect, and now they’re simply returning it to the original owner.

Of course, Li Zhirui couldn’t directly go to the Cave Abyss Sect, even if unable to deduce, traces would still be left behind.
