Chapter 1700: Chapter 1319: Linking Together
If the Yuan Sect wants to take action against the Li family due to the disparity in strength, the Li family has no power to resist.
Li Xiuyuan sent people to monitor their movements, mainly to buy time for the family to preserve its legacy and prevent the family from being caught unprepared.
"Since the Yuan Sect hasn’t taken action against the family before, this time they won’t either, right..." After sending off the Intelligence Elder, Li Xiuyuan sat alone in the hall, speaking instinctively.
But who can say for sure?
...
Meanwhile, inside the Yuan Sect’s main hall.
The birth of a Heavenly Immortal has made everyone in the sect very happy and delighted. Although no grand ceremony was held, many disciples privately organized several celebration events.
But after receiving some information, many elders saw the crisis behind the prosperity!
"The breakthroughs of Senior Uncles Changhe and Chang Ming to become Heavenly Immortals are certainly worth celebrating. However, according to the current information received, not only has our strength increased, but other forces have also strengthened, and major forces in the Kunlun State might have achieved greater advancements."
An elder said gravely: "As a result, the gap between everyone hasn’t widened!"
Moreover, this is only the change in the East Continent Immortal Tao; changes might be even more significant in other camps, such as the various Ancient Remnant Races living in the Northern Domain. Perhaps due to certain past events from Ancient Times, they had offended Heaven, making cultivation difficult and even survival and reproduction problematic.
But during the two-world war, they paid quite a heavy price and made substantial contributions, earning forgiveness from the Heavenly Dao, and previous restrictions have been lifted.
And these forces, which have existed since Ancient Times and have endured for countless millennia, may seem weak now, but given the time to grow and develop, they will surely become troublesome existences!
After all, the heritage accumulated over so many years will quickly transform into resources for their expansion without any restrictions.
Not to mention the growing strength of factions like the Demonic Tao in the West Continent, Devil Race entangled with Immortal Tao in the Southern Domain, Sea Clan, Divine Path, and Human Dao.
Now they worry that certain faction’s enhanced strength might lead to dissatisfaction with the current division of territories, potentially sparking a war!
So Li Xiuyuan’s worry about the Yuan Sect acting against the family is actually groundless; they truly cannot spare the Li family now, with the focus of their vigilance on the Great Zhou dynasty to the south and the Sea Clan to the east.
"No need to worry about Great Zhou for the time being; they are currently in an intense contest for the throne, which won’t end soon. The Sea Clan is more dangerous." The Intelligence Elder disclosed the latest information, allowing everyone to relax slightly.
"Has there been any news on the Heavenly Immortals born recently in the Sea Clan?"
The Intelligence Elder said with a heavy expression: "Based on current information gathered, there are already three Heavenly Immortals!"
The actual situation is certainly not limited to this, just like the Yuan Sect, which publicly has only one new-generation Heavenly Immortal, but secretly hides another.
Everyone frowned unconsciously upon hearing this.
Actually, they had anticipated it before, because during the Golden Light Realm event, the Sea Clan made enormous contributions!
Just for eliminating many life forms in the Golden Light Realm and destroying numerous Spirit Veins, these two actions alone allowed them to stand out.
Aside from this, the Sea Clan also did something very significant with lasting impact, which was destroying the Sea Eye!
Everyone should know that the Sea Eye was not just a special large Spirit Vein but also had functions like purification and climate regulation, which naturally ceased upon its destruction.
Thus, their merits in all forces only ranked below the Divine Path, and the Divine Path could suppress the Sea Clan thanks to their discovery of the Golden Light Realm.
Hence, the Yuan Sect does not believe the Sea Clan only has three newly emerged Heavenly Immortals.
"Send more disciples to monitor the sea area. Once the Sea Clan makes any move, we should be informed immediately and prepared." The Sect Leader decisively announced.
The Sea Clan has been coveting the land’s water areas for who knows how many years but never had the opportunity. Now, strengthened, how could they possibly remain inactive?!
Furthermore, internal changes are occurring within the Divine Path. Originally, the Star God Lineage had the support of Doumu Lord, the supreme Heavenly Immortal, making Ziwei’s position as Heavenly Emperor very stable.
However, now Doumu Lord has transcended and departed, seemingly causing division within the Star God Lineage, not to mention the previously suppressed other Divine Lineages.
Especially the Water God Lineage!
With backing from the Sea Clan, the Water God Lineage’s strength is formidable, only previously suppressed by the Star God’s lead, but now the Star God struggles to protect themselves; how can they lead the other Divine Lineages to suppress the Water God?
If the Water God Lineage rises further in status within the Divine Path, this will certainly strengthen the Sea Clan further, intensifying their desire to invade the land’s water areas!
...
In the vast Primal Spirit Realm, anything can happen.
Amidst the mountains in the Southern Domain far from the East Continent, several Sea Clan Heavenly Immortals suddenly visited the Devil Race.
"Why have the three Fellow Daoists come here today?" A Fox Clan Heavenly Immortal asked, eyes showing cunning, laughing lightly.
"Does Fellow Daoist truly not know, or pretend not to know?"
A Dragon Tribe Heavenly Immortal chuckled, speaking bluntly: "Do you all not feel that the human race has dominated the Primal Spirit Realm for too long? It’s time for some changes."
