Clan Cultivation: Starting with Building an Island Immortal City

54: A promising start but a disappointing finish, a deeper mystery“Good! How refreshing!”

In a corner of the teahouse, Li Yinglong suddenly opened his eyes, a brilliant light bursting forth from them, as if countless sword shadows and halberd gleams had abruptly receded.

He couldn’t help but let out a low cry of exhilaration, a surge of heroic spirit stirring within his chest, hard to quell.

This review of a secret history from a thousand years ago felt like drinking nectar, leaving him feeling utterly invigorated and unable to contain himself.

The records in the Jade Slip concerning the “Heavenly Army’s Eastern Expedition,” though only a few words, each word carried immense weight, containing a majestic heavenly might and a killing aura that had not diminished over thousands of years!

When his spiritual consciousness immersed itself within, it was as if he had Transmigrated through the river of time, personally witnessing that epochal war that determined the fate of the East Sea:

The Heavenly Soldiers of the Kaiyuan Heavenly Dynasty and the Cultivators of the East Sea gathered by the Three Immortals Sect, banners obscuring the sky, ships stretching for a thousand miles, majestically marched eastward!

Sword light tore through the East Sea mist, Magic Treasures bombarded the Thousand Island Demonic Domain, and the spiritual light of spells violently clashed with the evil arts of the Wo Clan and the strange Divine Abilities of the Blood Curse Sea Clan, causing heaven and earth to change color!

The three island masters, granted the title of “Sea-Pacifying Demon-Subduing Heavenly Envoys,” wielded the divinely bestowed “Sword of Retribution for Every Scale,” and wherever their sword light pointed, evil demons retreated, and all spells turned to naught!

The Cultivators of the Divine Land worked together with one heart to cleanse the demonic miasma, solely to protect the common people and clear the sea borders!

Three days! Just three days!

With a thunderous momentum, they swept through, uprooting the Wo Clan and the demonic “Blood Curse Sea Clan” they had created, who had ravaged the East Sea and accumulated countless blood debts, burning their lairs and executing their chief culprits!

What boundless ambition and what fierce desire for vengeance must the ancestors of a thousand years ago have possessed!

If he had been born in that era, if he could have wielded a sword to accomplish such a glorious feat, what would death matter?!

This surge of heroic passion, transcending time and space, churned within his heart.

Li Yinglong felt as if he could sense the joy and heroism in the hearts of those Cultivators who participated in the war back then—a tremendous sense of accomplishment from acting on behalf of Heaven and purifying the world, enough to make one’s heart surge.

He wished he could have personally participated, fighting alongside the ancient sages to slay the evil demons!

This was completely different from the feeling of scheming and calculating gains and losses in the business world in his previous life; this was a purer, more direct clash of power and belief, truly the act of a great man!

His thoughts at that moment completely flew back to the East Sea battlefield of thousands of years ago, his heart filled with yearning.

However, this exhilarating sense of victory did not last too long.

His spiritual consciousness eagerly flipped to the back, wanting to see more details about this great war, wanting to see how the Three Immortals Sect governed the East Sea after their triumphant return, how the Divine Land Cultivators divided the spoils of war, and how that land polluted by the evil marrow of the planet was ultimately dealt with... This was even more captivating than reading the most exciting fiction!

But the subsequent record was like a basin of ice water poured over his head, instantly waking him from his blood-boiling fantasy, and a chill suddenly ran down his spine.

Following the triumphant report of “The East Sea is Pacified,” was a shorter, yet more solemn, subsequent record:
