Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

The major powers of the immortal path clearly understood this as well. They knew that if the order wasn't explained clearly, it would be useless, and many forces would not accept it or would outwardly comply but inwardly defy it.

Therefore, they had to patiently explain the order clearly, so that most of the monks could understand and accept it.

"Although we are divided into the Immortal Path and the Demonic Path due to different philosophies of seeking the Dao, we are fundamentally the same and all belong to the human race."

The celestial being said earnestly, "In the past, it was one thing for everyone to fight amongst themselves, but now the alien races are powerful, and many of our own kind are being slaughtered indiscriminately. Large tracts of our territory have been occupied by the alien races, and the living space of the human race is constantly shrinking."

The purpose of these words was to reduce the conflict and antagonism between the immortal and demonic paths, and to emphasize that everyone belongs to the human race.

"The principle of 'if the lips are cold, the teeth will perish' is something everyone understands very well, so I won't waste any more words. Although our relationship with the demonic path is not that close, if their strength is severely damaged, the pressure we will face in the future will become greater and greater."

"As you all know, the human race has been the ruler of the Yuanling Realm for far too long. There are too many forces and races that want to drag us down so that they can take over."

"Without the help of the demonic path to share the burden, everyone will probably not have much time for secluded cultivation in the future."

These words are meant to tell everyone what harm it would cause to the Immortal Path and what disadvantages it would have for them if this matter were left unattended.

"Of course, besides these grand principles, the demonic path also paid a considerable price before we agreed."

Finally, I'll tell you what the benefits are.

"The Demonic Path is willing to hand over two Celestial Immortal-level secret realms, five Earth Immortal-level secret realms, and twelve Human Immortal-level secret realms. Moreover, these secret realms will not be handed over to any single Immortal Path force, but will be managed jointly by everyone. The number of people entering the secret realms in the future will be determined based on the performance in this attack on the East Sea."

The cultivators, who were originally dissatisfied or even angry about this, gasped upon hearing these words.

So many high-level secret realms, even though they were all demonic secret realms before, can be transformed into excellent secret realms that can produce a large number of spiritual items after a period of time of management.

"In addition, there are a large number of immortal cultivation techniques, supernatural powers, secret methods, and so on, ranging from the Heavenly Immortal level to the Human Immortal level, as well as spiritual objects."

For so many years, immortals and demons have been fighting each other, but many immortal forces have been destroyed by the demonic path, and their methods have naturally fallen into the hands of the demonic path, and vice versa.

The conditions offered by the Demonic Path were truly a huge investment, with the aim of using this opportunity to drive the Sea Clan out of the Western Continent, or at the very least, to control their expansion speed.

At the same time, it also frees up resources to deal with the scourge of the demon race.

That's right. Even now, in the eyes of the demonic cultivators, the ghost race is still insignificant and poses no great threat. They only managed to occupy a territory by taking advantage of the fact that the demons were fighting with the sea race.

anyway!

After being persuaded by that celestial being and given a large amount of benefits, most cultivators accepted the order to attack the East Sea and relieve the demonic path.

Of course, some cultivators will inevitably be unwilling to accept it, or intend to outwardly comply but inwardly defy it, only sending a few cultivators at random to make a show of it.

Li Debo was the latter, but this was only his own idea. Obviously, he couldn't make the decision on such a significant matter by himself.

So, they summoned all the elders to discuss the matter and see what their opinions were.

"This is a golden opportunity to enhance the family's heritage; we must not only accept it, but also give it our all!"

"Yes! Fifth Elder is right! We should strive to gain the greatest benefit from this matter!"

Upon hearing about the various benefits, most of the elders readily agreed, as if they feared missing the opportunity if they were even a little slow.

Only a few elders shared Li Debo's view and did not intend to go all out to deal with this matter.

In their view, the reason why the family still lacks heritage is not due to external reasons, but because the family has developed too fast and has not had enough time to settle down and accumulate.

Therefore, as long as we cultivate diligently, in a few thousand years, the family's foundation will no longer be a problem! There is absolutely no need to do such a risky thing.

Unfortunately, there were too few elders who supported this viewpoint, and even with Li Debo's support, they couldn't overcome the other faction of elders.

Left with no other option, Li Debo could only adopt a compromise: the family would not force anyone to participate, allowing clansmen to choose for themselves. Those who wished to participate could do so, and those who did not would not be forced to.

But to Li Debo's surprise, the enthusiasm of his people for this matter exceeded his expectations!

Upon hearing the news, many members of the clan rushed to register.

In just half an hour, two to three thousand clansmen chose to participate in this operation to attack the East Sea and relieve the pressure on the demonic path! And there was a steady stream of clansmen heading towards the registration point.

But even more fanatical than the clansmen were the smaller factions, the independent cultivators, and the independent cultivators themselves!

Li Debo could understand their reaction. After all, they had nothing. If they wanted to develop and grow stronger, they had to take risks and risk their lives!
However, he couldn't quite understand those tribespeople who were very enthusiastic and eager to participate.

It was an elder who saw his doubts and explained with a smile: "In recent years, the family has indeed developed very well, but this is in general terms. It does not mean that every member of the family is living a better life."

"Among these clansmen who signed up, some wanted to acquire more spiritual items to improve their cultivation as soon as possible; others wanted to take this opportunity to hone themselves."

Upon hearing this, Li Debo frowned and said, "What you said does make some sense, but why are so many clansmen signing up to participate?"

"Doesn't this mean that the development of the clan has not brought much benefit to the clan members?"

The elder's expression froze, and he immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking.

"Looks like I was right."

Li Debo slowly turned and left, his expression growing increasingly cold. The family hadn't stirred up any trouble for many years, and it seemed that many people had forgotten certain rules!

It's time to teach them a lesson, so that the other tribesmen will remember what they shouldn't touch and can't touch!
"Ugh!"

The elder sighed helplessly. Although he hadn't interfered in certain matters, he had seen many things for himself.

Knowing what the family would be like if Li Debo stirred up trouble...

"But this is for the best. We can't keep raising those damned giant rats forever."

The voices gradually faded away, and the spot was now empty.

……

The Immortal Path's gathering of cultivators and their journey to the East Sea caused quite a stir, not to mention the presence of spies within their ranks. As a result, the sea creatures quickly learned of this.

Knowing this was one thing, but lacking the power to change the Immortal Path's intentions and plans was another. Time was of the essence; the vast majority of the Sea Clan's forces were engaged in a fierce battle with the Demonic Path in the Western Continent. Therefore, they could only passively await the enemy's attack, trying to hold them off and minimize their own casualties. Not long after, the Xiaxian Sect and the He family of the Jade Gate led tens of thousands of disciples and followers, along with numerous rogue cultivators and vassals, like tigers descending the mountain and dragons entering the sea, stirring up chaos and unrest in the surrounding waters.

Meanwhile, when the news reached Dongyuan Sect and Shanhai Prefecture, the cultivators in both places couldn't contain themselves any longer.

"Chieftain, when should we make our move? Why not seize this opportune moment? Perhaps we can even take a piece of the sea from the sea creatures," a member of the tribe asked, puzzled.

Li Debo shook his head and said, "The other side hasn't made a move yet, there's no need to be in such a hurry."

Logically speaking, this matter should not have been handled personally by him, the clan chief. However, for certain reasons and calculations, he voluntarily left the clan territory and began to take charge of arranging and organizing this offensive against the sea tribe.

When news of the Dongyuan Sect's move arrived, Li Debo finally ordered his people to exert all their strength and suppress the sea tribes first.

"kill!"

The once tranquil edge of the Myriad Spirits Sea was suddenly punctuated by a thunderous battle cry.

The lower-level water demons had their souls stolen before they even saw the cultivators, thus weakening their strength.

Rumbling--

Thousands upon thousands of different spiritual lights lit up between the sea and the sky, looking dazzlingly beautiful, but they were full of killing intent, crashing down with terrifying power. In an instant, countless corpses of water demons appeared on the sea surface.

With just one exchange, the sea creatures' morale was completely shattered!

There was nothing they could do; the Li family was only facing tens of thousands of water demons, and the strongest of them was only a terrestrial immortal.

This can be said to be the smallest number of people involved in the thousands of years of conflict between the Li family and the sea tribe!
The fact that these water monsters didn't collapse and scatter is already a testament to their good character.

But that's all there is to it; even if you wanted them to fight, they wouldn't be able to unleash much combat power.

"Take care of them as soon as possible, and then act as instructed!" Li Debo calmly gave the order.

As for the water demons who had already scattered, it would be too inefficient to join forces again, so the cultivators also split up and each kept an eye on their own targets.

"Die to me!"

A member of the Earth Immortal Clan charged towards the water demon in the Earth Immortal Realm, wielding a long spear that gleamed coldly as it pierced through the air. The water demon was completely unprepared for this and didn't even have time to react.

Just as it was about to die under the spear, a sudden flash of light protected it.

But it was its last resort to save its life. Sensing danger in that instant, it activated itself and saved its life.

But that was all. The next moment, the spear was swung and attacked it again, as if it would not stop until it was killed.

"Damn it!" The water demon was furious and felt extremely troubled by this.

The best way to escape the pursuit is to eliminate the opponent! He immediately roared, "Are you underestimating me?!"

Before he finished speaking, he shot towards the cultivator like an arrow released from a bow.

Unexpectedly, the cultivator was already prepared and gave it no chance to turn the tide.

In the end, the cultivators prevailed in the battle and successfully killed the water demon!

……

at the same time.

Tens of thousands of small battlefields were scattered across the vast sea. Due to their advantage of having the initiative, a larger number of people, and high morale, the cultivators still held a very clear advantage in the war.

In contrast, those water demons were only temporarily recruited, and some were even forcibly recruited. Under such circumstances, they were inherently problematic, not to mention that the immortals had gained the upper hand.

Discontented and demoralized, even their usually greatest advantage of sheer numbers is now somewhat ineffective. Under these circumstances, how much strength can they possibly exert?
The end result was that the sea was covered in bright red blood, with severed limbs and remains of sea creatures everywhere, which looked terrifying.

However, in the eyes of the cultivators, this was not a terrifying or frightening scene. On the contrary, they were quite happy, with streaks of spiritual light shuttling through it, collecting useful spiritual items from the water demon's corpse.

There were some casualties among the cultivators, but only a few hundred, and many of them were able to recover. The number of those who actually perished was probably less than a hundred!
It can be said that among all the battles with the sea creatures over the years, this time the losses are the smallest!

Li Debo did not make a move. After the battle broke out, he stayed in a spirit ship that looked ordinary but was actually extremely sturdy.

Unfortunately, although he also possessed the cultivation level of an Earth Immortal, his identity destined him to be excluded from these dangerous operations.

When Li Debo saw that the great battle was over, he told his people to take the time to rest and recover their magical power.

This doesn't mean the war is over; on the contrary, it has only just begun!
As for the vassal cultivators and rogue cultivators, Li Debo ignored them and left behind his injured and exhausted companions before hurriedly heading towards the depths of the East Sea!

The East Sea's strength is now practically depleted. Most of the water demons went to the Western Continent to fight and confront the demonic forces, while some of those who remained in the East Sea died on the battlefield just now.

Perhaps now, some of the sea creatures' settlements are only guarded by the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled.

As everyone knows, the sea race is famously wealthy. Faced with this great opportunity, these vassal cultivators and rogue cultivators naturally did not want to miss it. Even if their own condition was not particularly good, they still wanted to get more spiritual items before the Li family.

Li Debo was fully aware of their ulterior motives, but he didn't care. They were just some spiritual items, and they weren't necessarily that valuable.

Besides, they put in a lot of effort; they can't just leave empty-handed, can they? Who would want to follow the Li family after that?

After a period of recuperation, the tribesmen were divided into ten teams, each with three to four hundred people, to enter the East Sea to obtain spiritual items.

With this size and strength, there is generally no danger in the East China Sea as long as one does not venture too deep.

……

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

When Li Debo left Wanxian Mountain to take charge of the matter with the sea tribe, the elders initially disagreed and strongly opposed it.

Although the sea creatures in the East Sea are currently weak, what if something unexpected happens? If they are seriously injured or even killed, it would not be good for the family. (End of Chapter)
