My Immortal Cultivation Game Life

Chapter 377: Chapter 171 The Source of the Sea Clan Invasion_3

When catastrophe struck, powerful cultivators might flee for their lives, but for ordinary people, the vast land, fraught with fierce beasts and dangers, was a deathtrap once they left the safety of their towns and villages. They had no choice but to resign themselves to their fate.

The cultivators within the towns wore worried expressions, some numb to the situation, yet they continued to toil and farm.

After communicating with a few elders, Lu Yi understood that some immortals had passed by and informed them about the Sea Clan invasion. Regrettably, they could only await the impending disaster in quiet anticipation.

This was the destiny of mortals.

The ancient city had become somewhat deserted, but it fared much better than the towns, with many cultivators stopping there.

Some of these cultivators were local, with modest strength—merely at the Qi Cultivation Realm or the Foundation Establishment Realm. Such power was exceedingly dangerous when traversing rugged mountains and wild ridges, especially during perilous times like these.

Like the ordinary people, these cultivators had no choice but to stay on the land where they were born and raised, quietly waiting for fate’s judgment.

Others possessed not insignificant strength, some even reaching the Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation Realm.

Lu Yi and Yun Xi sat quietly in a tavern, listening to the conversations among the cultivators.

A few fairly strong cultivators were speaking, their strengths all within the Nascent Soul Realm, with the leading elder possessing the power of the Divinity Transformation stage.

“Now, it seems our Eastern Domain Alliance Army has gained an advantage. There’s a fair chance we can drive those Sea Clan back to the ocean! Going now, the risk is a bit smaller, and we might gain some battle merits and various resources,” said the Divinity Transformation Elder with a confident smile, taking control of the situation

“Brother Wang is indeed wise! No wonder you were able to cultivate to the Divinity Transformation Realm!” a middle-aged man at the Nascent Soul Realm said, his face full of smiles as he complimented the elder.@@novelbin@@

“Hahaha, we Loose Cultivators can’t compare to the cultivators from Great Sects with their abundant resources. If we want to improve, we always need to use our brains. To safely cultivate and advance, safety must come first,” the Divinity Transformation Elder explained his life lesson with an air of calm confidence.

A crowd of Nascent Soul Cultivators nodded their heads in agreement.

“Exactly, to cultivate in peace and quiet, finding opportunities to gain some resources— even for us, there’s the chance to reach the pinnacle of the immortal path,” said a somewhat younger cultivator, nodding vigorously.

“Moreover, we Loose Cultivators must stick together; only by supporting each other can we be safer!”

Hearing these Loose Cultivators, Lu Yi felt a strange feeling inside.

These cultivators all had bright futures! They prioritized safety above all else, they were experts in Flee Arts, and they discussed how to escape when facing stronger cultivators.

Lu Yi felt they were impressive, almost on par with Master Wu Qingfeng of his own sect.

Back when Qingzhou was in great turmoil, his Sect Leader had relied on his exceptionally profound Flee Arts to lead a group of Divinity Transformation cultivators from the Blood Spirit Sect and the Heavenly Snake Sect on a merry chase, as if walking a dog.

Yun Xi, beside him, couldn’t help but show a hint of amusement on her face as she soaked in the conversation.

“Where shall we go next? Shall we join the area where the female sword immortal from the Divine Sword Sect is? I hear she is merely a Cave Void Cultivator but has slain a Unification Great Power. Surely it would be safer there, right?” a young cultivator asked, his eyes reflecting his admiration.

“Foolish! How can we go there?” the Divinity Transformation Elder slapped the table, disappointed and distressed: “That female sword immortal is indeed a rare demonic genius, barely less so than that legendary demon of Qingzhou, but such a genius will undoubtedly be targeted by the Sea Clan. If the Sea Clan sends a Great Mahayana to exterminate her, she might escape, but what about us? Following her won’t give us a low chance of death!”

His words rendered everyone speechless, and the room fell silent for a moment.

“What Brother Wang said makes a lot of sense! I believe as well,” a plain-looking middle-aged woman said, slightly nodding her head.

“Indeed, such a showy and demonic figure will inevitably be the Sea Clan’s thorn in the side, impossible to ignore. If we follow her, we might not live long,” another middle-aged man agreed, nodding.

The young cultivator, though reluctant, sighed after some thought: “What Brother Wang says is true, life is most important after all.”

“Then, Brother Wang, where do you think is best for us to go?” asked another middle-aged man.

With a confident smile, the Divinity Transformation Elder said, “Don’t worry, I already have someone in mind.”

“Oh? Please elaborate, Brother Wang!” the crowd of cultivators looked curiously at the Divinity Transformation Elder.

Not only them, but even Lu Yi and Yun Xi were curious.

With a slight smile, the elder then said, “Let’s join the group from the White Cloud Sect led by Nangong Moyu!”

“Nangong Moyu? Who’s that?” the crowd of Nascent Soul Cultivators looked on blankly.

Lu Yi and Yun Xi exchanged a glance, both with an odd expression on their faces.

What in the world? Joining Brother Nangong Moyu?

With a smile, the Divinity Transformation Elder said, “You must know about the White Cloud Sect, right? The sect of that demonic genius from Qingzhou.”

“Of course, we know of it,” they responded.

“This Nangong Moyu is a disciple from the sect where the genius resides. I’ve inquired around; some of the sect’s cultivators are quite intelligent, making use of the terrain to ambush and kill many Sea Clan Cultivators. Although none of the vanquished were particularly powerful Sea Clan Cultivators, the approach was durable and safe! That’s one aspect. Another is that these cultivators are disciples of the White Cloud Sect. Considering the talents of that genius, it’s likely she has a great chance of Ascending to Immortal, making the White Cloud Sect an Immortal Sect. Establishing a good relationship with them now is also beneficial for us,” the Divinity Transformation Elder said, eyes twinkling with glee.

Lu Yi: “…”

He was astonished; this old man was something else, considering so many angles?

Yun Xi wore an odd expression, glancing at Lu Yi and transmitted, “This fellow Daoist seems quite shrewd, doesn’t he?”

Speechless, Lu Yi transmitted back, “Is this the wisdom Loose Cultivators need to survive, perhaps?”

Yun Xi smiled lightly.

Meanwhile, the Nascent Soul Cultivators exchanged glances, expressing joy: “That’s Brother Wang for you! Brilliant! Being in touch with that genius, indeed, will be good for us.”

“With meticulous thinking like Brother Wang’s, we are impressed!”

The cultivators spoke one after another.

“In that case, let’s settle on this plan!” the Divinity Transformation Elder said with a smile.

Just then, Lu Yi coughed and, wearing a slight smile, said, “Gentlemen, we also plan to head to the Sea Clan Battlefield. Hearing Brother’s words, we would like to join the White Cloud Sect’s team as well. How about it, take us two along?”
