Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Those merits were bestowed upon the Earth Goddess by the Heavenly Dao and could not be transferred to others for use. However, she was about to leave the Yuanling Realm, so the merits were useless to her. Therefore, she simply took out a few water-elemental spiritual objects, roughly refined them, and turned them into embryonic vessels for merit-based magical artifacts.

As for what form Qingcang wants to refine it into, that depends on his own plans.

"Thank you so much, Goddess Diyuan, for the gift!"

Qingcang did not refuse; after bowing, he accepted the merit-making artifact.

The Earth Goddess simply smiled and then left the Primordial Spirit Realm on her own initiative.

No one followed her with any ulterior motives; they all stood still and watched her leave.

Even though the Earth Goddess severed the original divine position of reincarnation and her strength decreased, she was far from being as weak and helpless as Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo were back then.

Don't try to take advantage of the chaos and end up losing your own life instead.

With this matter settled, everyone turned and left the starry sky.

Some celestial beings did cast ill-intentioned glances at Qing Cang, but considering that there was another celestial being beside him, they hesitated.

Moreover, since the other party was a deity, it would be too disrespectful to attack the Heavenly Court and the Divine Path on their own territory. It would likely provoke a joint attack from the deities. Therefore, they ultimately gave up the idea of ​​seizing the merit artifact.

As for those powerful immortals? They didn't even consider this merit-based artifact worth their attention.

"Let's go too," Qingpeng said.

"it is good."

The two immediately transformed into a ray of light and vanished in an instant.

Upon returning to their family, the first thing they did was repeatedly warn Li Yuanchang to keep the secret and absolutely not to reveal that the Earth Goddess had visited the Li family.

Li Yuanchang wasn't stupid. Seeing the two Spirit Ancestors' serious and solemn expressions, he knew that this matter might be more serious than he thought, and he quickly made a guarantee.

"There is one more thing. With the departure of the Earth Goddess, the Earth God lineage and the Yin God lineage will no longer be able to maintain their transcendent status without her."

"If Her Majesty had made arrangements beforehand, then perhaps nothing will happen, but if not, the Shinto Path will probably not be peaceful from now on."

Qingcang continued, "We don't know if the turmoil will escalate further, so the family should keep a low profile for the foreseeable future."

Li Yuanchang sensed the impending war in these words. With only three Celestial Immortals currently in charge of the family, it was indeed advisable to keep a low profile.

At the same time, we must also prepare for active defense so that the Li family can react quickly should the Yuanling Realm really fall into war.

After explaining everything, the two returned to the divine realm and began their seclusion.

……

First, the two Star Lords, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, transcended, and then the Earth Goddess left. In just a hundred years, three great gods of the Divine Path severed their ties with the Primordial Spirit Realm.

On the contrary, cultivators and demonic cultivators who are more likely to transcend have not seen such a thing happen over the years.

To many unsuspecting lower-level beings, this was proof that the divine path was more powerful and advanced than other cultivation paths.

Despite its weakened strength, it has inspired many low-level beings to yearn for the path of divinity.

This situation has also attracted the attention of many forces.

This is no small matter. If a large number of low-level beings decide to join the divine path and the Heavenly Court, their foundations will be shaken.

Over time, the Shinto will become stronger and stronger, while they will become weaker and weaker.

Therefore, they must find a way to destroy the impression of Shinto in the minds of lower-level beings, and let them know that Shinto is not as powerful and wonderful as they think.

At the same time, it would be best to do something to prevent the gods from having time to attend to or receive these lower-level beings.

Various factions searched the divine path for suitable targets, and soon the Earth God faction and the Yin God faction came into their view!
Having lost the protection of the Earth Goddess and unwilling to join the Heavenly Court, he still dreamed of dominating and controlling the earth and the underworld.

The Heavenly Court is currently treating them relatively well, using appeasement and even offering some overly favorable conditions in an attempt to truly integrate them into the Heavenly Court system.

After all, these two pantheons are quite powerful, and with their addition, the Heavenly Court's strength will be greatly enhanced.

However, the proud and arrogant Earth God and Yin God still wanted to maintain their status of obeying orders but not summons, and directly drove away the deities who came to appease them.

Ziwei initially had some patience and thought she could wait a little longer, but as her envoys were driven back, that patience was completely worn away. She had reached her limit and no longer intended to use appeasement.

Of course, some of the earth gods did not join the rebellion against the Heavenly Court, but instead immediately surrendered to it.

Among them were all the earth gods of the Li family.

Qingpeng and Qingcang were originally gods of the Heavenly Court. Although they later obtained the original god position through their own efforts, their status rose a lot.

However, he remained obediently in the Heavenly Court, but following the example of some deities, he created an avatar to stay in the Heavenly Palace, gathering intelligence and receiving messages.

Therefore, they were very clear about how powerful the Heavenly Court was!

The moment the conflict broke out, Li Mingyao, on behalf of all the earth gods under his command, bowed down and submitted to the Heavenly Court.

At that time, they were regarded as traitors by the Earth God and the Yin God, unworthy of being Earth Gods, and even shouted to take back the divine positions of Li Mingyao and others.

The Li family didn't care at all and didn't take their words to heart.

Furthermore, seeing that the Earth Goddess had bestowed a great deal of wisdom upon the family, Li Mingyao even went to persuade them, hoping that they could recognize the situation and not resist stubbornly.

He was kicked out immediately, and if he hadn't acted quickly enough, he would have been beaten.

"Alas! That's all I have to say. You all need to take care of yourselves."

Li Mingyao sighed helplessly, and vanished instantly just as an attack was about to hit him.

Given the current strength of the deities from the Earth God and Yin God factions, they simply cannot withstand the Heavenly Court's determination to take action!

Indeed, when the two sides began to fight, the Earth God and the Yin God were no match for them and were defeated and forced to retreat in disarray.

Many of these deities fell into the hands of the Heavenly Court and became prisoners.

"Damn it!"

A certain celestial deity said angrily, "How could the Heavenly Court be so powerful? We are no match for them at all!"

A hint of worry and fear crept into his eyes, as he worried that he would fall into the hands of the Heavenly Court and suffer all kinds of torture or inhuman treatment.

Not only him, but many gods began to worry about what kind of situation they would face next.

"Do you think they would accept us if we surrendered to the Heavenly Court now?" a certain Yin deity asked cautiously, fearing he would be seen as a traitor.

But the reactions of the crowd were completely different from what he had expected. No one scolded him, no one opposed him, and they even started to discuss his suggestions.

"do not know."

"But I had heard that the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei values ​​face and power. We had previously sent the envoy sent by the Heavenly Court back, which disrespected him. That's why he directly ordered us to take action."

"This……"

Suddenly, the scene fell silent again.

Just when everyone was in despair, a few creatures with ulterior motives suddenly appeared, saying that they could help them fight against the Heavenly Court.

"Who are you? What is your purpose?" The gods remained wary of these people and did not believe their so-called help.

"Have you already accepted the outcome of being defeated by the Heavenly Court and becoming prisoners of war?"

Instead of answering directly, one of them asked, "Do you know how the Heavenly Court treats those prisoners?"

"Those without a primordial divine position will have their divine position and duties directly extracted; those with a primordial divine position will also have a trace of their primordial essence separated from them, and from then on they will be controlled by the Heavenly Emperor's Seal, their lives and fortunes entirely in the hands of one person!"

"Therefore you have no other choice but to fight back with all your might in order to save yourselves."

Some deities believed these words wholeheartedly and even became terrified; some were skeptical; and some did not believe that the Heavenly Court would dare to do such a thing.

That's all I have to say. Think it over carefully yourselves.

After saying that, the group of people immediately set off and left.

This is actually a silent strategy of oppression, plunging the gods into fear and causing them to lose their reason.

Do you think those gods will take the bait?

"I don't know. Judging from their reaction just now, only a portion of the gods truly believe it."

"It doesn't matter, as long as the Divine Path is embroiled in internal strife and has no time to care for or take in those low-level cultivators." The leading cultivator didn't seem to care much about the outcome.

Of course, for them, it would be even better if they could fight for a while longer.

……

"Do you think what those people said earlier was true or false?" In fact, the fact that he asked this question already revealed his answer.

"Fake!"

Another earth god sneered and said with unwavering conviction, "If the Heavenly Court really dares to do such an outrageous thing, how much karma and retribution will it have to bear?! Does that Heavenly Emperor have the guts to do that?"

"In my opinion, instead of arguing like this, we should just ask the people who actually know the truth."

"Who?!"

All the other deities looked over.

"The Li family, Li Mingyao!"

This earth god, who joined the Heavenly Court in a high-profile manner from the beginning, must now hold a high position in the Heavenly Court and be more aware of certain information.

"But we humiliated him like that before, do you really think he'll tell us the truth?"

"Don't worry, Li Mingyao is not a narrow-minded person."

The reason why this earth god named Changchuan suddenly mentioned Li Mingyao was because the two had a fairly close relationship before and he knew him quite well.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you."

"it is good."

After saying that, Changchuan fled towards Wanxian Mountain at top speed.

Several hours later, he arrived at the gate of Wanxian Mountain, intending to knock on the door honestly.

He's not like the Earth Goddess, who can ignore the mountain-protecting formation and directly enter the Li family's territory.

"The Earth God Changchuan has come to pay a visit. We humbly request an audience with your esteemed family."

Two cultivators immediately appeared, examined them carefully for a while, and said, "Please wait a moment, Your Excellency, I will go and inform the clan leader."

Li Yuanchang's first reaction upon hearing the news was surprise. Not long ago, the Earth God had specifically targeted the Li family's group of Earth Gods, so why was he suddenly visiting them today? And what's more, he was a Celestial Immortal Earth God.

"Please invite that deity to the main hall for welcoming guests."

Out of respect, he did not go inside upon arrival, but waited at the entrance to greet him.

Before long, they saw the earth god who had suddenly come to visit.

"We apologize for not being able to properly welcome our distinguished guests."

"It is I who have troubled your family."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two entered the main hall and sat down.

"I wonder what important matter brings you here, Your Excellency?" Li Yuanchang asked very directly.

Changchuan looked embarrassed and said, "I'm sure the noble chief is aware of some issues between us and the Heavenly Court. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Li Mingyao to answer a few questions for me."

I kicked him out not long ago, but now he's come looking for me, even asking for my help.

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow, his mind racing, and quickly understood what the gods were thinking.

They know their strength is far inferior to that of the Heavenly Court and want to admit defeat and surrender, but they are too embarrassed to do so. Therefore, they have come here specifically to ask Ancestor Mingyao to act as a bridge for communication between the two sides.

This guess is not entirely wrong, but it's not entirely incorrect either.

"After Ancestor Mingyao returned, he began cultivating in his cave. I will send someone to knock on his door now. Please wait a moment, senior."

Li Yuan smiled and ordered someone to bring him a pot of Earth Immortal-grade spiritual tea.

"it does not matter."

Changchuan adopted a very humble attitude, after all, they needed his help, so how could they be arrogant?

About fifteen minutes later, Li Mingyao entered the main hall.

"Fellow Daoist Changchuan, what brings you here?"

"Alas! I regret not heeding your advice back then!"

Changchuan didn't try to hide it; it was an embarrassing matter anyway, and he had to say it sooner or later.

"If I had listened to your advice from the beginning, I wouldn't be in this predicament!"

"What's wrong? Fellow Daoist, please speak slowly."

To be honest, Li Mingyao really didn't know the current battle situation between the two sides of the Shinto, but judging from his reaction, their situation must be very bad.

Changchuan explained their current situation before finally asking, "Fellow Daoist Li, I've heard that the Heavenly Court is very unfriendly to those prisoners? They even strip some prisoners of their divine positions and duties? Have you heard anything about this?"

"Where did you hear these rumors from?!"

Li Mingyao's expression immediately turned serious. He said, "This is utter slander and insult. We are all gods. Even if we have different stances due to certain events, we would never do something so disgusting and damaging to the foundation of the divine path!"

Although he had never been to the Heavenly Court to see the prisoners, it was definitely not as Changchuan described.

To verify what he said, he immediately summoned all the earth gods under his command.

Because Li Mingyao demanded that everyone arrive as quickly as possible, it only took a short while before several panting earth gods arrived at the main hall.

"May I ask, Lord God, what are your commands?" (End of Chapter)
