Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 817 - 817 823 Remake

Chapter 817: Chapter 823: Remake Chapter 817: Chapter 823: Remake “As such, we can only give up for now.”

Li Zhirui sighed, recognizing that the Li family’s current power was insufficient to resolve the issue of the Devil Beasts in the Secret Realm.

“There’s no rush since we have control over the Secret Realm for the ti being,” Li Mingzi said, lightening the heavy atmosphere in the hall.

“This failure isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”

Li Zhirui’s words left everyone puzzled, unable to understand what he ant. How could such a costly failure, without any tangible gains, be considered a good thing?

“The family has been developing smoothly over these years without encountering any setbacks or difficulties, significantly changing the ntality of our younger generation.”

Li Zhirui spoke calmly, “They have beco arrogant and overbearing, using power to oppress others. They’re no longer as dedicated to cultivation as before. This failure serves as a stark reminder of our real standing, and perhaps it will awaken so of them.”

Like other powers, which one hasn’t grown and strengthened step by step through nurous hardships and dangers?

But the Li family was different. Thanks to Li Zhirui’s presence, their developnt was smooth. Even if there were dangers, they weren’t life-threatening, and as the years passed, these incidents had nearly been forgotten by most of the family mbers.

“Ancestor Rui’s lesson is pertinent. Such a trend is indeed erging in the family,” Li Mingzi said with so embarrassnt, as these issues fell within her responsibilities as the clan leader.

“Don’t bla yourself; solving this now is not too late.”

“Think carefully about how to keep our people vigilant. If this continues, when will the Li family truly rise?”

Before the echoes of his words faded, Li Zhirui had already left the hall.

He now understood why so powers always have a hostile force nearby—it creates a sense of urgency and prevents complacency. Without sufficient strength, one might simply perish unnoticed.

Currently, this thod isn’t suitable for the Li family because there is no nearby power of comparable strength, only much weaker vassals or the vastly more powerful rchant guilds and the Sea Clan.

The forr cannot put pressure on the Li family; the latter are not ones the Li family can afford to provoke.

If the Profound Ice Sect hadn’t relocated, they could have been a worthy adversary for the Li family, but unfortunately, they fled.

Indeed, the Profound Ice Sect’s aggression was spurred not only by their unwillingness to yield but also influenced by the Li family’s past actions.

To outsiders, the Li family seed overly eager to expand their territories!

With each increase in strength, they would attack nearby territories, incorporating them under their domain.

The Profound Ice Sect, fearing an attack from the Li family, launched a preemptive strike during Li Zhirui’s absence on Wanxian Island.

Had it not been for the intervention of a Fifth-order puppet, Wanxian Island might indeed have fallen.

However, in reality, most of the Li family’s expansions were re retaliations to initial provocations.

Sadly, the Profound Ice Sect did not delve deep into the roots of the conflict, or they might not have t such a tragic fate.

Word spread quickly throughout Wanxian Province that many Li family cultivators were injured.

But no cultivators dared to sche anymore, especially since several powers had been annihilated not long before, with Spirit Mountain falling into the hands of the Li family.

In such a climate, which cultivator would dare to erge? They could only discuss privately and speculate on the reasons for the Li family’s injuries.

Within the Li family, Li Mingzi gathered the elders to discuss the issues raised by Li Zhirui and contemplated solutions.

“Several days have passed, do any of the elders have any ideas?” Li Mingzi asked.

For a mont, no one spoke.

“I think we might try organizing a Spell competition,” one Elder said uncertainly.

“The family has always held competitions, but they haven’t seed to do much.”

That was why that Elder hesitated.

“Law Enforcent Elder, you must have other opinions, right? Why not share them so we can discuss?” encouraged Li Mingzi.

The Law Enforcent Elder could only respond, “The family’s competitions have beco ceremonial; fewer and fewer family mbers participate each year, and no one takes them seriously anymore, so they haven’t been effective.”

“But if we create new rules, making participation mandatory for all family mbers and allocating cultivation resources for the next year based on the rankings, I’m sure most family mbers would be motivated.”

“In that case, to outperform others, they would need to cultivate diligently and improve their own strength.”

Li Mingzi’s eyes lit up at the idea, but quickly, she saw a flaw, “But if family mbers pursue victory by focusing solely on enhancing combat power and practicing spells without serious cultivation, what then?”

After all, a small realm difference doesn’t signify much disparity in strength, especially between the fifth and sixth levels of Qi Cultivation.

Such a situation could potentially lead to severe consequences.

“Clan Leader, if soone is as you described, that just shows their limited perspective. If they achieve a good rank this year, what about the next?” the Law Enforcent Elder shared his view.

Li Mingzi fell silent for a mont, then nodded, “You have a point.”

“Do the other elders have any different opinions or suggestions? Let’s brainstorm together and resolve this quickly.”

She liked the idea, but such a major decision affecting the family’s future couldn’t be made by Li Mingzi alone; there would certainly be aspects she hadn’t considered.

“According to your proposal, with resources allocated based on next year’s rankings, what about Alchemists and Artifact Refiners whose combat power is relatively weak? Their ranking would likely be lower.”

One elder stated, “If they spend ti boosting their combat power, then their ti spent on cultivation and improving their skills would certainly decrease, which might be counterproductive for them.”

“If family mbers are interested in skills, they can participate in relevant competitions instead of Spell competitions.”

The various types of competitions in the Li family had been ongoing for many years, but with ti, their significance had waned.

As discussion continued among the elders, so could answer the Law Enforcent Elder’s points, while others needed collective brainstorming.

After a day and night of deliberation, they finally created a more comprehensive set of new regulations.

“Thank you, everyone!”

Li Mingzi’s voice revealed a hint of fatigue, “If there are no other concerns, I will organize these and announce them.”

Everyone was too tired to speak, and they indeed couldn’t think of any more issues.

“Alright, let’s settle on this for now. If problems arise later, we can think of ways to and them.”
