44: Middle Jindan

The Li family and the Feng and Yuan families dispatched troops and generals, beginning to compete for the Yun Family's resource islands.

Although the Li family had quite a few Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, the combined strength of the Feng and Yuan families was not much less than theirs.

Furthermore, with the secret assistance of several Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators from Tianmen Island, a certain balance slowly formed between the two sides.

Of the Yun Family's more than fifty resource islands, over thirty went to the Li family, and the rest were equally divided between the Feng and Yuan families, thus gradually achieving a balance.

Both sides desired the other's resource islands and wished to annihilate each other, but unfortunately, they all ended in failure.

Time flew by, ten years passed, and this situation continued for ten years, finally calming down.

At this time, the eyes of Tianmen Island and Qingfeng Island were all cast towards the Li family and the Feng and Yuan families.

If they did not maintain this balance, no matter which side won, Qingfeng Island and Tianmen Island would have to intervene.

Qingfeng Island wanted to maintain its hegemonic position in the Oriental region, while Tianmen Island needed to maintain the balance of the Heaven's Gate Archipelago.

However, if they directly attacked the Li family, it would cause dissatisfaction among other forces, and coupled with the fact that those fellows from the Heavenly Devil Archipelago were eyeing the Heaven's Gate Archipelago covetously, they could only allow the Oriental part of the archipelago to remain as it was.

If the demon cultivators from the Heavenly Devil Archipelago attacked, the Li family could also become a powerful aid.

If they were to act against the Li family at this time, it would definitely push the Li family towards the demon cultivators, which would be somewhat counterproductive.

Over the past ten years, the Li family had been growing rapidly.

With the secret cultivation by Tianmen Island and Qingfeng Island, the Feng and Yuan families also grew rapidly.

However, after all, the resources were not their own, and coupled with the theft of their millennium-old foundation by Li Haotian, the speed of improvement for the entire Feng and Yuan families slowed down significantly.

...

At this moment, on Luoxia Island, in the Scripture Pavilion, Li Haotian opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.

"Golden Core mid-stage, I've finally broken through."

At this very moment, Li Haotian had already broken through to the Golden Core mid-stage.

As long as he consumed a Spiritual Essence Pill again, he could instantly break through the Golden Core mid-stage.

Li Haotian was overjoyed in his heart, but he did not immediately break through to the Golden Core late-stage.

Having just broken through to the Golden Core mid-stage, he needed to consolidate his cultivation properly.

Having nothing else to do, Li Haotian went directly to the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

He was preparing to go out and enhance the secret realm fragments, but he hesitated for a moment.

He was about to search the bookshelf for those few torn pages that could cultivate spiritual roots.

Just then, Li Zixuan walked into the Scripture Pavilion, saw Li Haotian, and quickly said respectfully, "Father, have you broken through?"

Li Haotian smiled and said, "I've broken through, I'm at the Golden Core mid-stage."

Li Zixuan asked in surprise, "Then Father, when shall we make a move to annihilate the Feng and Yuan families?"

Li Haotian hesitated for a moment and asked, "How is the situation on the Tianmo Island side?"

Li Zixuan thought for a moment and said, "They haven't made a move yet.

Why don't we take down the eastern side first?"

Li Haotian snorted coldly and said, "Take down the Oriental part of the Heaven's Gate Archipelago?

When Tianmo Island attacks, who will resist?

Don't you think about it, under the circumstances where I haven't exposed myself, the fact that Tianmen Island and Qingfeng Island haven't annihilated the Li family is precisely because they want someone to share the attack from the Heavenly Devil Archipelago."

Why would this old ancestor not have the same thought?

After repelling the Heavenly Devil Archipelago, our Li family will sweep across the Oriental part of the Heaven's Gate Archipelago.

Even if it's Tianmen Island, what can they do?"

Li Zixuan couldn't help but nod and say, "Father is still the one who thinks clearly.

However, the Feng and Yuan families are also improving very quickly.

With the support of Qingfeng Island and Tianmen Island behind them, they have added as many as five Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators in the past ten years."

Li Haotian asked irritably, "What about the Li family?"

Li Zixuan smiled and said, "Father, the Li family is even more formidable.

We have added twelve more Foundation Establishment Cultivators."

Li Haotian nodded slightly and asked, "Then you are still not satisfied?

How many family head cultivators are there?

How many Foundation Establishment Cultivators are there?"

Li Zixuan chuckled and said, "Father, the Li family has as many as one hundred and nine clansmen with spiritual roots, adding nearly thirty in the past ten years."

There are thirty-one foundation establishment clansmen, including six at the Foundation Establishment Peak, eight in the foundation establishment late-stage, seven in the foundation establishment mid-stage, and ten in the foundation establishment early-stage."

Li Haotian frowned and asked, "Are there any who can break through to the Golden Core Stage?"

Li Zixuan shook his head and said, "Father, they have all just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Peak, and they still need some accumulation before they can break through to the Golden Core."

Li Haotian nodded and said, "Good, since that's the case, then accumulate properly first.

Bring all the clansmen to Luoxia Island."

Li Zixuan quickly asked, "Father, are you preparing to upgrade the spiritualpulse?"

Li Haotian nodded and said, "Yes, that's right.

The small intermediate-grade spiritualpulse is not enough anymore.

It's time to upgrade it."

This time, Li Haotian planned to directly upgrade the spiritualpulse to the level of a small supreme grade spiritualpulse, which would be completely sufficient for the family clansmen to cultivate to the Golden Core Peak.

Li Zixuan quickly said, "Okay, Father, I will go make arrangements now."

Having said that, without waiting for Li Haotian to say anything more, he instantly flew away.

Li Haotian shook his head and said, "He's already the family head, yet he's still so crazy and wild, what kind of appearance is that."

With that, Li Haotian pulled out a few torn pages and said, "System, enhance them."

"Ding, enhancement successful.

Cost: one million spiritual stones.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Basic Spiritual Root Cultivation Method."

The few torn pages in Li Haotian's hand turned into a book.

At the same time, information about this book also appeared in his mind.

Basic Spiritual Root Cultivation Method, ordinary people have a five percent chance of cultivating spiritual roots.

A five percent chance is small, but how many people does the Li family have?

There are nearly a million ordinary clansmen.

Even if one in ten thousand cultivates spiritual roots, that's still one hundred people.

Thinking of this, Li Haotian couldn't help but get excited.

"System.

Continue enhancing!"

"Ding, insufficient spiritual stones, unable to enhance!"

Li Haotian's heart sank, and he quickly said, "Check personal information."

Host: Li Haotian

Age: 148 / 600

Cultivation: Golden Core mid-stage

Spiritual Stones: 8060000

Remarks: Spiritual stones can enhance any treasure

Eight million spiritual stones were actually not enough to enhance the Spiritual Root Cultivation Method again.

Doesn't this mean that to continue enhancing, it would require at least ten million spiritual stones?

He held the Basic Spiritual Root Cultivation Method and looked at it, only then realizing that the information in his mind was not complete.

This Basic Spiritual Root Cultivation Method could only cultivate four or five spiritual roots.

To cultivate three spiritual roots would require luck.

Li Haotian breathed a sigh of relief.

Although four or five spiritual roots might not be very good for others, they were nothing to the Li family.

The Li family cultivated using supreme grade elixirs.

Even if it were a pig, as long as it had spiritual roots, it could cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After doing all this, Li Haotian walked out of the Scripture Pavilion and came to the sky above Luoxia Island, watching the clansmen bringing the clansmen from the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise four major islands into Luoxia Island.

Luoxia Island was not large to begin with.

After all the clansmen came up, it seemed a bit crowded.

Li Haotian couldn't help but frown.

It seemed Luoxia Island needed to be expanded, but moving an island required Nascent Soul Stage cultivation.

He had a Nascent Soul Stage puppet, but he couldn't release it at this time.

If other forces found out, the advantage of this strongest trump card would be gone.

Li Haotian sighed slightly.

He could only wait until he completely took over the Heaven's Gate Archipelago before doing anything.

At that time, with powerful cultivation, he would move Tianmen Island and all the spiritualpulse islands over.

It wasn't that merging all the spiritualpulse islands together could upgrade the spiritualpulse level; that was impossible.

Merging the major spiritualpulse islands together could display the Li family's grandeur and allow more clansmen to cultivate around Luoxia Island.

Half a month passed.

The Li family's speed was quite fast.

With the transportation by cultivators controlling airships, all the clansmen were brought onto Luoxia Island.

Under Li Zixuan's reassurance, everyone quickly understood the reason.

Everyone's face was filled with joy, without any hint of panic.
