Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

"Those who make great contributions in this battle can obtain a spiritual vein, or exchange it for other rewards!"

Since it is impossible to force the independent cultivators to stay, the only option is to lure them with benefits.

For some small families and sects of independent cultivators, owning a spiritual vein is their lifelong pursuit!
Because they have spiritual veins, they have a foundation and are no longer rootless duckweed. They can reproduce and grow, instead of being subject to many restrictions like they are now, making it difficult to become stronger. They can only become weaker and weaker over a long period of time until they completely die out.

After hearing this, many independent cultivators gritted their teeth and finally chose to stay!
The worst that could happen is losing one's life, but if one could obtain the spiritual vein, the descendants and disciples in the family and sect would have a better environment for development and a foundation for becoming stronger.

However, more independent cultivators chose to leave. They felt that attacking the sea tribe was too dangerous and they could lose their lives if they were not careful.

But if you lose your life, what’s the point of making great contributions?
Li Zhirui was on the spirit ship. He used his spiritual sense to scan the rear and saw that the number of cultivators was still huge. He nodded with satisfaction. Many cultivators did not choose to leave.

Several huge cloud ships, like meteors, brought with them an unstoppable momentum and flew towards the sea area that had been selected long ago.

There are dozens of islands of different sizes in that area, which are not too far from each other. The Li family only needs to knock out the nearby sea creatures at the first possible moment, entangle them for a while, then move the islands, extract the spiritual veins, and finally build a line of defense on the sea slightly behind!
The Li family was not greedy. The island defense line they planned to build was less than 400 miles away from the shore. Even if it was captured by the sea clan, the cultivators could withdraw quickly and then rely on the Liangxia Fairy City to resist the attack of the sea clan.

Li Zhirui, Jiang Fengwu, A Yue and other immortals stood at the front. The moment they reached their destination, the magical powers that had accumulated in their palms for a long time smashed down like a torrent.

Dozens of huge pillars several feet wide and of different colors fell from the sky and then exploded on the seabed.

Rumbling--

Suddenly, towering columns of water erupted on the sea surface. The sea water rolled violently, stirring up the river and the sea. Countless water monsters were dizzy and groggy due to the rolling waves. Some water monsters with weaker strength had their bodies torn apart directly. The dark blue sea water appeared with a dazzling scarlet color.

At the same time, dozens of people in the fusion and Mahayana realms who had been prepared flew out, used their magical powers to lift the island, and flew towards the rear.

The next moment, the immortal water monsters who had woken up were horrified. They had never imagined that there would be cultivators who would dare to take the initiative to attack, and come with such a fierce force. The people guarding this place could not resist at all.

But when Li Zhirui, Jiang Fengwu and other immortals attacked again, they could no longer hold back!
Because they are drawing spiritual veins from the bottom of the sea!
Although they would leave about 30% of the spiritual veins to avoid damaging the surrounding environment in order not to bear karma, 60 to 70% of the spiritual veins were drained away. Unless the spiritual veins were repaired, these places could no longer serve as gathering places for the sea people.

"court death!"

No matter what the reason was, they could no longer sit idly by. They swept across the vast sea, rolling up terrifying waves, and quickly attacked Li Zhirui and others like dragons emerging from the water.

"Well done!"

The three spirit beasts Ayang, Ali and Yangli were the most excited. They had been on the Sun Star for hundreds of years, and apart from sparring with each other, they had never had a free-spirited battle.

So the moment they saw the water monsters appear, they immediately rushed up and attacked with the strongest and brightest sun fire. The water monsters were caught off guard and were hit directly in the face. If they had not already put up defenses, they would probably have been injured immediately.

"You are so brave! Aren't you afraid that our tribe will kill you all?" A water monster shouted loudly, but from its state it was not difficult to tell that it was afraid in its heart.

"Then what are you afraid of? Besides, do you think we will be the only ones involved in this operation?"

"Humph! We've long known that you monks have bad intentions, and we've been prepared!"

As they spoke, these water monsters were about to attack, but unexpectedly, Li Zhirui and others turned around and left the cloud boat immediately, without getting entangled with them at all.

The large formation that the sea tribe had set up on the spot could not achieve their intended purpose as Li Zhirui and his group left! This was a waste of this method.

"Chase! These cultivators want to establish a defense line in the rear, we must not let them succeed!" Changchuan, who was in the late stage of the Sanxian and was responsible for guarding this sea area, had a flash of inspiration in his mind and hurriedly reminded loudly.

After saying that, he immediately rushed out. Seeing this, the other immortals and water monsters had no choice but to follow him.

"You really dare to follow me?"

Li Zhirui raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Fengwu, you and Amu will lead the tribesmen to set up the formation, place the islands, and resist other mortal water monsters. The others will follow me to deal with this group of ignorant water monsters!"

In a one-on-one fight, he is not afraid of any water monster on the opposite side!
So Li Zhirui took the initiative to fight against Changchuan, the strongest late-stage immortal, and the other water monsters were left to A Yue and others.

"Damn it! We must not let these monks form a large formation, otherwise we will have to pay a greater price to drive them away..."

What Changchuan meant by this was to let all the water monsters try their best to stop it.

But before it could finish its words, Li Zhirui's attack appeared in front of it, forcing Changchuan to focus on defense.

At the same time, A Yue, A Yang and other spirit beasts also found their targets.

A new round of war broke out instantly!

"You are just a cultivator in the middle stage of the Loose Immortal Realm. I don't know where you get the courage to attack me. You are really courting death." Changchuan easily crushed this tentative attack and sneered with disdain.

"I hope you can still say something like this in a while." Li Zhirui smiled slightly and didn't take his words to heart at all.

Anyone who despises or looks down on him will regret it in the end!
Li Zhirui's hands were flying, various spells were cast quickly, blue spiritual light emerged wildly, and in a flash, a vast ocean appeared under his feet. Huge waves, tsunamis, strong winds and various natural disasters occurred one after another, whistling towards Changchuan.

Changchuan's face changed slightly. Just from this move, he knew that his previous idea was wrong! Although the opponent's cultivation was much lower than his, the gap in strength was not that big.

"You are only in the middle stage of Loose Immortal, how can you be so powerful?"

"Fuss."

"Humph! You just used some secret techniques. Do you really think you are that powerful?"

Changchuan transformed himself into his strongest true form, a giant snake over a hundred feet long and as thick as a bucket with blue-black scales. He slammed his tail downwards in an attempt to defeat the attack.

Its purpose was successful, but many of its scales fell over and blood was flowing out of them, making it look quite miserable.

Changchuan was shocked, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes. He was very confident in the strength of his body, but the opponent's attack could actually hurt him directly!
This kind of strength is definitely not something that an ordinary immortal can possess!
Suddenly, Changchuan put away his contempt and dared not underestimate Li Zhirui anymore.

But even so, Li Zhirui's strength once again exceeded its expectations.

Hundreds of huge trees suddenly fell from the sky like meteors, with great destructive power. Changchuan was unable to dodge once and was directly hit to pieces.

This makes it more cautious and it gives its all every time it takes action.

But even so, it was no match for Li Zhirui. Under his relentless pressure, Changchuan's injuries had become quite serious.

boom!
A ray of blue lightning struck down, and Changchuan was like a kite with a broken string, falling directly into the sea from the air, exploding into a huge wave. Before it could recover, Li Zhirui's attack came again!
Thick vines fell from the air and wrapped around its body. Changchuan naturally would not give up. He twisted his body frantically, trying to break free, but the vines became tighter and tighter, slowly pulling Changchuan out.

The giant tree that had disappeared appeared again, and countless vines quickly intertwined together, forming a huge cage in a few breaths, trapping Changchuan inside.

At this moment, Changchuan fell into despair, and at the same time, a feeling of regret emerged.

After the fight with Li Zhirui, it could clearly sense how big the gap was between its own strength and his!
This was something it had never thought of before, that a cultivator in the middle stage of the Loose Immortal Realm had such strength that it completely crushed it.

And if it had not been so arrogant at the beginning of the fight, perhaps it would not have fallen into such an embarrassing situation so quickly.

"Are you willing to surrender?!"

"As long as you are willing to surrender, you can save your life!"

Li Zhirui's voice was like thunder from heaven, rumbling and shaking Changchuan's already fragile mind.

At the same time, his hands were pinching mysterious spells, which turned into a ghostly light, quickly flew to Changchuan's forehead, and slowly merged into him.

This is a magical power for controlling beasts recorded in the "Scripture of All Spirits". It is used to capture high-level monsters and then cultivate them oneself.

"No! I will never give up just like that!"

Just when the spiritual light was only left with the last 20% that could be completely controlled, Changchuan suddenly broke free from control, woke up instantly, and the faint light between his eyebrows was shattered.

"I didn't expect you to be sober."

Li Zhirui was also somewhat surprised by this result.

Although he seldom uses this magical power, in that situation, Changchuan was able to wake up and break free from control. It seems that he still has some skills.

“Heh! I have at least… ahem, cultivated to the late stage of Sanxian.”

"Unfortunately, you are only in the late stage of Sanxian. You are no match for me at all. You can't escape now. You might as well admit defeat and surrender." Li Zhirui persuaded.

Not only could he save some time and mana, he also felt that Changchuan was quite powerful. After subduing him, it would be great to have him as a mountain guardian/law guardian spirit beast.

"Even if I die, I will never admit defeat or surrender!"

"In that case, please go and die."

Li Zhirui shook his head. Since persuasion failed, he didn't want to waste any more words and decided to just take action.

Changchuan was stunned when he saw this. Who would persuade someone to surrender? Wouldn't they persuade him several times before agreeing reluctantly? Why didn't this person follow the routine?

"Wait a minute! I am willing to surrender and submit!"

A smile flashed across Li Zhirui's eyes, and he said with a serious face: "Hand over a wisp of soul, and refine this jade token at the same time."

The jade token is a magical beast-taming weapon that the family has researched over the years. It is specially prepared to control these subdued monsters.

After all, the tribesmen who practiced the "Scripture of All Spirits" could completely trust their contracted spirit beasts, and the level of trust between them was even higher than that between relatives and friends!

Changchuan felt a sense of aggrieved in his heart, and now he wanted to go back on his word and continue to resist.

But when it felt Li Zhirui's cold gaze, it calmed down instantly, gritted its teeth, tore off a wisp of soul, and refined the jade token at the same time.

"Welcome to join the Li family of Wanxian Mountain!" Li Zhirui said with a smile.

The tribe now has three mountain-guarding beasts guarding its territory, so the island chain defense line being built is just right for Changchuan to guard.

It had been in this sea area before and must be quite familiar with it. It can help the Li family better defend against the sea tribes and is also a considerable force.

After Li Zhirui subdued Changchuan, he was able to free up his hands to help others.

Some water monsters that were originally at a disadvantage were instantly no match for him with his joining. If they had not escaped decisively, several of them would probably have lost their lives.

After the battle between Li Zhirui and others ended, the construction of the island chain and the arrangement of the formation on Jiang Fengwu's side were also nearing completion.

Another half an hour later, it was completely completed!
The Li family re-established a base in the sea. Although it is not yet known whether they can hold it, at least it is a good start.

During this period, many water monsters wanted to cause trouble, but they were all beaten back. There was even a wandering immortal water monster who paid the price with his life.

It was also after this that the number of water monster invasions and attacks decreased a lot.

After the base is established, it is far from time to rest. Various facilities need to be built on the island. At the same time, the water monsters behind the island chain need to be cleared out to avoid being attacked from both sides in the future.

Fortunately, because they are close to the coast, the strength of these water monsters is not very strong, but there are many of them. They can be handed over to those immortals and vassal monks, which can be regarded as giving them a little sweetness.

Killing and blood were everywhere, and low-level water monsters died in large numbers.

"I don't know the situation and progress of other forces." Li Zhirui muttered to himself as he looked at the sea to the south.

"When Fellow Daoist Feng Buxi and the others come back, we will know the answer."

"Well, it should be soon."

About two hours later, wisps of breeze stopped outside the island chain formation, and members of the Fengxi clan appeared one by one.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Li Zhirui stepped forward immediately, expressed his condolences, and then asked the questions that he was eager to know.

"The farthest we went was south of Dongyuan Sect. Some of the forces there won and some lost. When we came back, the Dongyuan Sect had not yet decided the winner, so we asked Feng Mingming to stay nearby and come back as soon as there was a result."

Feng Buxi briefly and quickly explained some key points, and then handed the jade slip with detailed records to Li Zhirui. (End of this chapter)
