Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 1397 - 1167: Astonishing_2

After spending several more hours, he returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"I have brought out tens of thousands of children from Red Water State. Are you willing to accept them?" Li Zhirui directly approached Wei Changming, the wise elder.

"Of course!"

Wei Changming didn’t hesitate. Although they were only children, they could still provide strength. Moreover, having these children would help quickly integrate the minds and hearts of the former human race from Red Water State.

And these people, the youngest of whom would reach adulthood in just two to three years, would be able to accomplish many things.

"Also, I learned about a plan from that Great Elder of the human race."

Then, Li Zhirui recounted the process in which the Great Elder wanted to help, and said to Wei Changming, "I should be able to bring out a large number of our people, so you need to prepare properly for their settlement."

"And after the task is complete, the Devil Race will definitely fly into a rage. I will find a way to shift the conflict onto the Cave Abyss Sect and the Yumen He Family, buying more time for the dynasty’s development."

"However, you must migrate as far east as possible to avoid the Devil Race discovering the large number of humans here, thereby exposing the problem."

Li Zhirui did not intervene in how precisely to do it or how to arrange it, leaving it for them to ponder themselves.

After all, he was supporting a Human Dao Dynasty that could help share the family’s burden, not raising a giant baby.

Wei Changming looked at Li Zhirui in surprise. He had not expected this mysterious State Preceptor to exert such effort.

"Rest assured, State Preceptor, we will certainly make proper arrangements."

Li Zhirui remained noncommittal. What he needed to do was to bring out more mortals; the rest of the matters were for Wei Changming and the others to worry about and consider.

He released all the children from the space, then cast a spell to awaken them from sleep. The sleeping mortals could also be guaranteed survival, so he had no concerns about exposing the space while taking everyone with him.

Thus, two flowers bloom, each expressing a branch.

In the house of the Great Elder in Red Water State.

After learning of Li Zhirui’s latest promise, the Great Elder’s mindset became much more radical; whereas before, he had some misgivings, he now had none at all.

"Once that immortal takes all of our people, we will simultaneously perform the Secret Technique to curse-kill those damned beasts, collecting some interest for our deceased ancestors."

The Great Elder’s tone suddenly grew heavy, saying, "At the same time, I will use the Secret Technique to manipulate the endless resentment and Evil Qi pervading the heavens and earth, strengthening our power to ensure more Devil Beasts are curse-killed."

The other elders were slightly shocked upon hearing this. They hadn’t expected the Great Elder to have such a method and quickly spoke up, expressing their desire to emulate it.

But the Great Elder refused, saying, "This Secret Technique is extremely difficult to perform and is very dangerous; you won’t be able to handle it."

He wasn’t lying because it was indeed very perilous. The caster would have to endure the pain of a thousand ants devouring the soul; if unable to withstand it, the Secret Technique would backfire.

Strictly speaking, it was an incomplete Secret Technique, created by the Great Elder’s master, who died before finishing it, and it had never been perfected in the following years.

The Great Elder’s plan was actually very simple: sacrifice themselves to curse-kill the Devil Beasts and incite chaos.

But it was also quite difficult because it was hard to find so many who were willing to die for the sake of their descendants’ lives.

Initially, the Great Elder planned to perform the Secret Technique during the conflict between the Devil Beasts and the Great Zhou Dynasty, to contribute to the dynasty’s victory.

The idea had changed later on.

"Everyone, get all the clansmen ready."

"Yes!"

...

Time passed quickly, and half a month flew by.

Everyone was busy handling various matters, while only Li Zhirui had nothing to do, feeling very relaxed.

Once the time arrived, he headed directly to the Great Elder, wanting to learn the exact method from him.

"Have you figured out what to do?"

The Great Elder replied calmly, "First, you need to travel to each gathering place and take away all the clansmen; we’ve already agreed on the best sequence, so you just need to follow it."

"Leave the subsequent matters to us."

Li Zhirui nodded, saying, "Let’s not delay then, let’s begin!"

Since the current gathering place wasn’t the first, but the last, he had to leave first, and to prevent being discovered by the Devil Beasts, he had to complete it as quickly as possible; otherwise, it would subject all the remaining human races to the Devil Race’s fury.

And the consequences for them wouldn’t need much explanation.

"Thank you! You’ve worked hard!"

Without another word, Li Zhirui left.

Meanwhile, in the pitch-black night, the previously quiet gathering spots began to mobilize under the dim moonlight.

This was also a test for Li Zhirui because he had to ensure both speed and that he wouldn’t be discovered by the Devil Beasts.

Fortunately, over the years, there hadn’t been any large-scale human resistance or riots, significantly reducing the Devil Race’s vigilance.

Coupled with a bit of luck, the entire process went very smoothly.

Only at the last gathering place did a small unexpected incident occur.

A group of Mortal Realm Devil Beasts suddenly appeared!

"Damn it!"

The Great Elder’s face changed slightly. Having gathered most of the human race, chaos ensued.

But Li Zhirui decisively showed himself, using his strongest Divine Power to instantly annihilate dozens of Devil Beasts, causing the rest to scatter and flee.

Taking advantage of the situation, he directed this disaster to the two nearby Immortal Dao Influences.

"Prepare to take action immediately!"

With that, Li Zhirui no longer hid himself, swiftly drawing everyone into his space.

Meanwhile, the Great Elder also unleashed the potential of his body, his aged frame sprinting swiftly back to the stone wall to notify all the elders to act.

Buzz!

Countless wraiths emerged from the stone wall, screaming, wailing, and roaring, telling the heavens and earth of their grievances and resentment.

A terrifying surge of resentment shot skyward, leaving Li Zhirui, hiding nearby, in shock; he hadn’t anticipated such terrifying power post-outburst. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

What happened next exceeded his expectations even more.

Roar!

Heaven and earth changed color, ash-colored pallor spreading rapidly in all directions, the earth shaking, as if something beneath it was trying to emerge.

Crack, crack—

Human skeletal remains crawled out from the ground in dense numbers, their breadth immeasurable at a glance. Their auras were weak but rapidly fusing together.

Ten, a hundred, a thousand...

As millions of bones fused, a gigantic entity hundreds of feet tall appeared, with an aura matching the Realm of Human Immortality!

And such behemoths were present in dozens within Li Zhirui’s sight!

But it wasn’t over yet.

"Ahh!"

A familiar scream echoed through the sky. Resentment and hatred that filled the heavens seemed to be ignited, boiling over in an instant, the heaven-hating, earth-hating, especially beast-hating emotion nearly dragging Li Zhirui down into it.

Condensed into tangible hatred, part of it merged within the colossal bones, while another formed massive shadows, starting to seek out Devil Beasts for vengeance.

’What has that Great Elder done now?’

Seeing this, Li Zhirui knew it was time to leave.

’Thousands of years, endless human resentment can burst forth with such terrifying power...’

Li Zhirui thought with amazement. He suddenly felt that the law created by the local human race was quite suitable for the Human Dao Methods, as they relied on collective strength, unlike cultivators who prioritized personal power.

"Damn it!"

"Where did these monsters come from?"

"Don’t kill me!"

On his way out, Li Zhirui heard countless cries and roars of Devil Beasts, and smelled the thick scent of blood; he saw the ground littered with dismembered Devil Beast remains.

Sights previously seen only happening to the humans were now occurring to the Devil Race for the first time.

Inevitably, he felt a flicker of satisfaction from the success of revenge in his heart.

But the next moment, a Purification Spiritual Light flashed within him, dispelling this somewhat abnormal emotion.

This set off alarms in Li Zhirui’s mind, prompting him to accelerate his departure, fearing a stronger influence if he stayed longer.
