Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 1998 - 1468: Summary

Although Li Xiuyuan still doesn't know when Li Zhirui plans to transcend and leave, he has no choice but to consider this factor.

After all, once both of these patriarchs transcend, the family will be left with only Jiang Fengwu and Li Mingyao overseeing things!

And one must note that Jiang Fengwu has no blood kinship with the Li family!

If, when Li Zhirui transcends this realm, she wants to pay off her karmic ties to the Li family and sever relations from then on, that's entirely possible.

A Heavenly Immortal Rank Array Master—even if she becomes a loose cultivator—can live quite comfortably, without worrying about cultivation resources.

Moreover, consider Jiang Fengwu's status and connections: her Dao partner is the highest senior and the strongest patriarch of the family, Li Zhirui; her two children are both Heavenly Immortal powers, not to mention they are pivotal Divine Dao Star Monarchs.

Including herself, that's a family of four Heavenly Immortals!

Are you all really insane, to even think about offending her?

Although Jiang Fengwu doesn't care much about these matters, she is still aware of the family's series of actions, because among the Array Masters, several came to inform her, hoping to curry favor by reporting, but she simply paid them no mind.

Now that Jiang Fengwu possesses such cultivation, unless she were very narrow-minded, she wouldn't bother with such trivial matters.

Besides, she has never intended to sever karma with the Li family. Although Li Xiuyuan's analysis makes sense, having a power—even if only a relatively strong one—is always better than being all alone.

She only wishes to perfect the array as soon as possible, stay with the family for some time, and then go into the Void to temper herself and strive for early transcendence.

That's right!

Although Jiang Fengwu has only just broken through to Heavenly Immortal, she's already thinking ahead.

The reason is simple—her judgment of the world's changes!

As an Array Master, her perception of Heaven and Earth is far sharper than most; though Jiang Fengwu still doesn't know the future direction of the Primal Spirit Realm, she can vaguely sense that this world seems to be undergoing subtle transformations, and it will become increasingly unsuitable for their survival.

Who exactly "they" are—these living beings—Jiang Fengwu can't say for sure, but she knows she's included!

Therefore, she must prepare ahead of time, lest when a great upheaval erupts, she has no measures to cope.

But now is not the time to dwell on these matters. Jiang Fengwu quickly refocused, concentrating fully on completing the Mountain Protection Array before her.

...

The sun and moon turn, decades of time pass in the blink of an eye.

Buzz——

Jiang Fengwu looked at the formation before her, radiating dazzling starlight, a spectacle like the stars and galaxies overhead, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Though it took her more time and spiritual objects than she had initially expected, the results are enough to delight!

Most importantly, in helping the family perfect the array, Jiang Fengwu quietly set aside some spiritual objects to duplicate this Great Zhou Heavenly Star Dou Array onto her own life-bound magical treasure, the Myriad Array Diagram.

With such a Heavenly Immortal Rank great array in hand, even if several Heavenly Immortals besiege her in the future, she need not worry for her safety.

The ones delighted are not only Jiang Fengwu, but also the Array Masters who assisted her and Li Xiuyuan and other kin.

The former learned much experience and insight into Array Tao during the array's construction, greatly boosting their own progress; the latter rejoice that the clan now has a powerful Guardian Mountain Array, offering firmer protection for their safety.

"Patriarch, these years must have been hard on you." After receiving the news, Li Xiuyuan immediately arrived to express his gratitude on behalf of himself and the family.

"Clan Leader, no need for courtesy. This is the duty I ought to fulfill."

Jiang Fengwu smiled and said, "During this array formation, I gained some insight, so I'll take my leave ahead."

"Patriarch, take care."

Li Xiuyuan bowed to see her off, but several kin accompanying him looked confused.

Yet one of them remarked, "Clan Leader, is all this truly necessary? The family supports the patriarch, and the patriarch shelters the family, each according to their needs. Shouldn't basic respect suffice—why go so far as to humble ourselves?"

This remark immediately darkened Li Xiuyuan's expression. He rebuked, "Silence! How dare you utter such rebellious words!"

"Is the reason why families are more united than sects really just due to that threadbare bloodline? Of course not! It relies on the affection and respect among family, mutual help, mutual trust!"

"If I ever hear anyone utter such words again, don't blame me for having no mercy!"

But this issue also made Li Xiuyuan realize that the family lacks a kind of education—not just the sense of belonging, but also an inner respect for elders, especially those who have contributed to the family!

Especially now, as the family grows larger and its members more numerous, this particular education indeed ought to be prioritized.

Unfortunately, his term is nearing its end, so this matter can only be handed to the next generation.

In fact, according to clan rules, Li Xiuyuan's tenure as Clan Leader has already exceeded its limit.

But as luck would have it, they happened to encounter a great calamity of Heaven and Earth. In such times, suddenly changing the Clan Leader is absolutely detrimental, even though the Li family already has a complete set of procedures, the transfer of power inevitably has its bumps.

Thus, after the elders' deliberations and agreement by most clan members, Li Xiuyuan was not asked to step down immediately, but had his special five-hundred-year term extended.
