Chapter 1644: Chapter 1291: Containment
After the great battle, the scene was a mess, with blood and remnants everywhere, adding an evil energy to the already eerie mountain gate.
The Li family only collected their own family members’ corpses. As for the Demon Cultivators from the Corpse Refining Sect, their bodies were left alone; they would eventually turn to ashes, so there was no need to bother.
Those severely injured returned to the Cloud Boat for healing, while those with minor injuries stayed behind for further arrangements after suppressing their wounds.
An hour later, most of the family members regained some strength.
"Take all the Corpse Refining Sect’s texts, methods, and spiritual objects."
Li Zhirui also spoke at this time, instructing, "Also, search for the Spirit Vein within the mountain gate, determine its location, and wait for further arrangements."
Although the Corpse Refining Sect had endured several hardships, it was an established Earth Immortal force in the Outer World, and its various texts and methods, though not suitable for cultivation, had very high research and reference value.
Spiritual objects were even more valuable; since both worlds had the same grade, bringing the spiritual objects back wouldn’t affect their grade.
The family members began to take action, and Li Zhirui, Li Zhixuan, and others were also kept busy, each leading a group of family members to the two most important places of the sect.
He was heading to the Scripture Pavilion.
"Jiu, do we really need to destroy the Spirit Vein?" Da Qing suddenly spoke up.
"It’s the simplest way to disrupt the Golden Light Realm and weaken the Heavenly Dao of this realm."
Li Zhirui turned to him, asking, "Do you have a better idea?"
"I’m thinking, could we try to store the Spirit Vein in the Minor Thousand World? This way, it could make the spiritual energy within the world richer and enhance the laws."
"Hmm..."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui squinted his eyes slightly, and fell into contemplation.
The outcome described by Da Qing was indeed very enticing, but to store a Spirit Vein was not easily achievable.
If it were a low-grade Spirit Vein, it would be manageable, being only a few miles long and weighing a thousand pounds, but the Spirit Veins within the Corpse Refining Sect’s mountain gate were at least fourth-grade; ordinary cultivators simply didn’t have the ability to store them in their personal world.
As for using the Moving Spirit Secret Skill? It must be noted that not many family members can use this secret skill, and since the Li family has no need for migration, no one would spend precious time cultivating a skill that, aside from moving Spirit Veins, serves no other purpose.
Moreover, the Li family’s attack on the Corpse Refining Sect couldn’t be kept secret for long, and they can’t stay too long.
If only higher cultivation family members were allowed to store the Spirit Vein, it would sow discord, since the attack on the Corpse Refining Sect was a result of all family members risking their lives and working together.
The principle of worrying not about scarcity but uneven distribution is something every force must constantly be vigilant about!
"This problem is easy to solve: divide the value of the Spirit Vein evenly among all family members. If someone wants to store the Spirit Vein, they must exchange spiritual objects or contribution values with other family members." Upon hearing Li Zhirui’s concerns, Cang quickly provided a solution.
"I was too obsessed!"
If it could truly succeed, it would not only deplete the foundation of the Golden Light Realm but also advance the family members’ realms, achieving a dual purpose.
Thankfully, he hadn’t ordered the Spirit Vein to be destroyed directly, but marked its position first, laying the foundation for this idea.
"First, let’s take out the texts and methods from the Scripture Pavilion."
At this point, the group finally arrived at the seven-story pavilion.
As one of the most important buildings, it naturally had its own protective formation, but with the Sect Leader’s token in Li Zhirui’s hand, they could enter directly.
Being a long-established Earth Immortal force, the Scripture Pavilion contained a vast number of texts and methods; looking out, there were probably tens of thousands just on the first floor!
With the Sect Leader’s token, all prohibitions on the wooden shelves were disabled, and each Jade Slip and book flew into the storage magical treasures that the group had long prepared.
In just a moment, the large first floor became empty, even the wooden shelves were taken by them.
The group continued upward. The second floor had fewer Jade Slips, but still over ten thousand.
Third floor...
Fourth floor...
Fifth floor...
Initially, the group felt excited, but by now, after seeing countless Jade Slips, they had become numb.
Upon reaching the sixth floor, the original thousands of Jade Slips reduced to only a few hundred, each exuding an extraordinary Dao Rhyme!
"These Jade Slips all contain Earth Immortal rank methods."
There were cultivation methods, secret techniques, divine powers, pill recipes, formations, talismans, and other cultivation skills, along with some secret tales and ancient records, all extremely valuable.
Facing these precious Jade Slips, the group was not as rough as before and instead sealed them with Jade Boxes, storing them in separate storage magical treasures.
The last floor of the Scripture Pavilion contained even fewer Jade Slips, only a few dozen, but each was extremely precious!
If not for remaining rational, Li Zhirui would want to read all these Jade Slips immediately.
"Let’s go, it’s time to meet up with Zhixuan and the others."
After scanning every inch of space with Divine Sense to ensure nothing was left behind, they turned to leave.
On the other side, Li Zhixuan and others also had significant gains, with various spiritual objects filling numerous storage magical treasures, especially low-grade spiritual objects.
The only slight regret was that only a dozen Earth Immortal rank spiritual objects remained; judging by the number of Jade Platforms, at least several dozen had been used by the Corpse Refining Sect.
