Capítulo 1941: Chapter 1439: Confrontation (Part 2)

In an instant, the loose cultivators, who were once despised by all factions, became the targets everyone wanted to win over, wildly sought after.

This also made quite a few loose cultivators develop illusions in their hearts, thinking they’d truly become important figures, able to pick and choose among the sects and families.

And these kinds of loose cultivators, you could tell at a glance, were blinded by temporary prosperity, muddling their minds.

…

At this moment in the Floating Light Realm, flames of war were raging uncontrollably across the land, countless living beings falling in the chaos.

But this is the process that must be endured when invading a world!

After all, if you don’t eliminate the original powers, how can you conquer this world?

Yet these matters had little to do with Li Zhirui for now, since he wouldn’t take the initiative to wipe out local factions; his main task was to guard the encampment.

Maybe it was because the Floating Light Realm cultivators had suffered bitter losses at his hands before, that now, none dared to approach him.

This actually gave Li Zhirui a quiet, undisturbed environment, allowing him to focus on comprehending the Purification Principle, enriching himself, and perfecting his own laws.

Unfortunately, the Floating Light Realm was only a Middle Thousand World; though the Purification Principle had its unique aspects, that was all. It hardly cost Li Zhirui any time or energy to master it completely.

And his own cultivation had improved a little as well.

After a few more days, Li Mingyao returned to the base.

“Ancestor Rui, things here are settled, and there’s nothing needing me at the moment, so I’ll head back first.”

“Alright.”

Li Zhirui responded, saying, “You can go back now. If you’re needed again, I’ll have someone call you.”

Li Mingyao nodded in agreement, then passed through the spatial rift, returning to the Primal Spirit Realm.

Now, of the Li family’s original three Heavenly Immortals, only Li Zhixuan remained personally involved. This matter concerned whether she could repay her karmic debts and transcend away smoothly, so of course it required more of her energy and focus.

She now led a squad of powerful clansmen, rushing across the floating light lands, targeting the most formidable Immortal Dao powers.

To quickly eliminate the Immortal Dao powers of the Floating Light Realm, Li Zhixuan showed no mercy each time, always going all out.

She no longer gave her clansmen the chance to temper themselves, all to save time.

But her crazy approach was undeniably effective—within just half a month, several major factions were wiped out by her!

This brought a huge crisis to the living beings of the Floating Light Realm!

Actually, back before this, the Immortal Dao side had already tasted Li Zhixuan’s ferocity and tried to reach out to the Demonic Tao and Devil Race, hoping to put past grudges aside and join forces to drive out the invaders.

What they hadn’t expected was that the Demonic Tao and Devil Race had no intention of acting, instead continuing to stand by and watch as the Immortal Dao’s strength was weakened.

Their plan was simple: gather the power of the whole Floating Light Realm to force out the invaders, but before that, let them severely weaken and suppress the Immortal Dao first.

Once the invaders were gone, they’d devour the Immortal Dao’s resources and territory, cutting off their legacy in the Floating Light Realm for good!

After several rejected pleas for help from Immortal Dao to Demonic Tao and Devil Race, Immortal Dao finally saw through their petty schemes.

At that moment, the Immortal Dao cultivators felt utterly bleak—how could there be such fools, blind to the situation, caring only for their meager immediate gains, not understanding the truth that when the lips are cold, the teeth die?

When the Demonic Tao and Devil Race thought the Immortal Dao’s power had been weakened enough and tried reaching out, they were horrified to find that only two of the original five major Immortal Dao factions remained!

The other three had been eliminated by Li Zhixuan and her clansmen while Demonic Tao and Devil Race sat back and watched; all their legacies and spiritual objects went into the Li family’s Scripture Storage Hall and treasury, or into the clansmen’s storage magical treasures.

Aside from these three top Immortal Dao powers, even more Immortal Dao factions were wiped out, and loose cultivators played a big part in that!

Their strength was weak, but their numbers were enormous, making up for the Li family’s shortfall to a certain extent.

Now, with more than half of Immortal Dao lost, the Demonic Tao and Devil Race finally sensed trouble and felt a surge of terror.

“How is this possible! How can their strength be so outrageous? Isn’t the Heavenly Dao supposed to be suppressing them?”

“Hahahahahaha…”

The Demonic Tao and Devil Race representatives approached the sect leader of an Immortal Dao sect, and on hearing this, the sect leader let out a roaring laugh, tears streaming down his face.

But then his expression suddenly turned icy cold, and he spat, “A bunch of idiots who only care about their own petty interests! You thought you’d use their hands to weaken Immortal Dao, so you could devour it later!”

“But you didn’t see that throughout this process, the invaders’ numbers have been multiplying madly. Even if their strength is weak, ants can bite an elephant to death, not to mention they still have Mahayana, Tribulation Transcendence, Individual Immortal, even Human Immortal cultivators!”

“Now you’re scared? Where the hell were you before!”

With the sect leader pointing at their noses and scolding, the Demonic Tao and Devil Race representatives’ faces turned ugly. They desperately wanted to storm out in anger, but remembering how Immortal Dao had been all but wiped out and would soon be finished, they had no choice but to swallow their rage and sit tight.

How could they not understand the truth about the lips and teeth? They’d just been blinded earlier and failed to see the danger.

Now that they knew, naturally they wouldn’t do anything so foolish again.

The situation was dire—they had to unite fast, pool their power, and fight off the powerful invaders together!

Soon, Li Zhixuan felt the change—after the living beings of Floating Light Realm had banded together, a certain Immortal Dao faction became far harder to deal with.

Through the formation, she saw that besides cultivators inside, there were demon cultivators and devil race figures too.

“Heh!”

This made Li Zhixuan let out a cold laugh, “You want to team up now? Isn’t it a bit too late?!”

But she had to admit, with three factions united, they were truly no longer so easy to deal with.

Meanwhile—

“Hmm? Why are you all here?”

In the encampment, Li Zhirui found that the first ones to pass through the spatial rift were actually Da Qing, Xiaoqing, and Cang.

“We heard that Zhixuan is facing the whole Floating Light Realm alone, with her clansmen and some loose cultivators. The three of us had nothing to do, so we figured we could lend a hand,” Da Qing said.

“This is meant to be her trial…”

As he spoke, Li Zhirui shook his head and said, “Since you’re already here, just follow the compass’s guidance and help her out.”
