Chapter 964: Chapter 951: Going Out Chapter 964: Chapter 951: Going Out They acted in such a way primarily because they feared the Li family’s forceful oppression. They speculated that by taking initiative, they might reduce so of their tributes, and secondly, they sought protection.
After all, the Southeastern Mountains had not seen a Lianxu Cultivator for quite a long ti, while Devil Beasts within the mountains were ever-present. Should there erupt a large-scale beast tide, their situation would beco extrely perilous!
“Clan Leader Li, this is a small token of our appreciation, please do not disdain it,” a few Lianxu Cultivators murmured in front of Li Xiansong, the Nascent Soul.
Li Xiansong’s brow furrowed slightly. Such gifts and politeness surely ant they had requests to make. The next instant, he smiled and said, “There is no need for such formality, gentlen, but I wonder what brings you to visit all of a sudden?”
“The Li family is powerful. We hope to honor your noble family as our Sect Master and take us under your protection!” a few Divine Transformation cultivators bowed deeply and spoke in unison.
A contemplative look flashed through Li Xiansong’s eyes. He quickly stood up and had an Elder help them up, saying, “There is no need for such grand formalities.”
However, he did not answer their question, for it was a matter of great importance. Li Xiansong could not possibly provide an answer in a short ti.
Assisted by the Elder, they all took their seats, quietly awaiting Li Xiansong’s response.
After a mont, Li Xiansong, smiling, said, “Thank you for your high regard, but the Li family’s strength is insufficient. I fear we cannot withstand your generous affection.”
“Clan Leader Li is too modest! The Li family currently has six predecessors in the Lianxu stage. Their strength dominates the Southeastern Mountains…”
One of the Lianxu interrupted urgently, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Li Xiansong, who said, “Sir, you overestimate the strength of the Li family.”
“I still have many minor matters to resolve and cannot host you gentlen. My apologies.”
After speaking, he stood up, effectively forcing them to leave.
“Hmph!”
Once they had left Mount Wanxian, soone instantly sneered, “Does he really think so highly of himself?”
“How ungrateful! We took the initiative to acknowledge him as our Sect Master, and he rejected us?”
“Exactly! They are just a few Lianxu Cultivators. What’s there to be so arrogant about?”
A few Divine Transformation cultivators openly vented their dissatisfaction on the way.
anwhile, inside Mount Wanxian.
“Elder, why reject them? Isn’t this a good thing? In the future, not only can we have vassals to summon, but we can also collect tributes each year,” one Elder asked, puzzled.
Li Xiansong said sternly, “No one should ntion this matter again!”
“Thousandfold Mountains belong to Shanyuan State, and there is only one master of all powers in Shanyuan State, the Zhang Family!”
“But the Zhang Family doesn’t manage the mountain territories! Other Nascent Soul powers have their vassals too, and we never saw the Zhang Family react,” an Elder imdiately retorted, dissatisfied.
Several Elders thought Li Xiansong was overthinking and being too cautious.
“There are so rules that seem non-existent, but you must not ignore them!” Having said that, Li Xiansong didn’t want to explain further and asked the Elders to return to their duties.
It was only because he had gained sufficient prestige during his ti as Clan Leader that he could make such decisive decisions. If it were soone else, they wouldn’t have such authority.
But his term was near its end.
Li Xiansong had been able to remain as Clan Leader for so long, thanks to the Li family’s entire entity ascending to the Primal Spirit Realm. After all, switching Clan Leaders shortly after arriving in a new world could cause problems.
But now, with the Li family firmly established in the Southeastern Mountains, it was naturally impossible for him to continue as Clan Leader, to prevent him from becoming a faction unto himself.

After Li Zhirui’s breakthrough to the mid Lianxu stage, an important matter ca up—he sought the subsequent Cultivation thods of the “Myriad Spirits Scripture.”
Initially, in the Black Stone Secret Realm, he had only passed six levels of trials, which ant the thods he acquired did not include those of Integration Realm and beyond.
He had not sought them earlier because he felt his personal power was not strong enough, but more importantly, there was no one to protect his family. He worried that if he left, his family might be eradicated for no apparent reason.
Although his powers were still not considered strong, he now had Da Qing, Xiaoqing, Cang, and Li Chengshuo, four Lianxu Cultivators, ensuring the family’s safety.
With no further concerns, Li Zhirui was set to prioritize this crucial task for both his and his family’s future path. He was determined to complete it as quickly as possible.
Should he fail to find the subsequent thods of the “Myriad Spirits Scripture,” Li Zhirui had two alternative paths: one was to find a new thod that allowed one to reach Integration and provided subsequent thods, for otherwise, what would he do when it beca ti to change again?
The second was to harness the power of the family to deduce the states of Integration, Great Vehicle, and Tribulation Transcendence!
The forr would an changing the foundation, and that of the entire family, starting afresh which would involve an enormous cost, not to ntion a major challenge:
That would be signing a contract with Spirit Beasts, requiring the integration of a part of the Spiritual Soul. Normally, it resides within oneself, indistinguishable from any other Spiritual Soul. But how would you address this issue if you change your cultivation thod?
Furthermore, the cost would be substantial!
Cultivation techniques were never cheap. The higher their grade and the more characteristics they carried, the more expensive they were. To purchase a thod suitable for the Integration Realm, you would need at least one hundred million Spirit Stones.
And at that price, you could only get a thod with very few characteristics, just barely reaching Seventh Rank.
A thod for the Great Vehicle Realm? Even multiplying the cost tenfold might not suffice, and for the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, you would need to multiply that several dozen tis!
