Dong Tianji took a sip of tea: "After so many years of evolution, the main areas of the lower realm have been almost divided up by various forces. If they want to get a share of the pie, other forces will naturally have to seize other people's territory."
The Demonic Sect is backed by the Endless Demonic Realm, which was established tens of thousands of years ago and has grown stronger in the lower realm. The Heaven and Earth Sect was established a few thousand years earlier, backed by the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Sect, and was also a formidable force in the upper realm.
The two sides had conflicts as early as the Upper Realm, and upon arriving in the Lower Realm, the Endless Demon Realm naturally set its sights on the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Sect.
Having said that, Dong Tianji said no more, but instead looked at Li Daoxuan meaningfully.
The latter nodded, but didn't say anything.
With a wave of his hand, he offered hundreds of billions of spirit stones as payment for this.
Watching the two leave, Dong Tianji shook his head, ultimately failing to glean anything from their attempts.
......
"My husband, I never imagined there were such secrets in the mortal realm."
Lu Xueqi sighed.
"This is normal. The special nature of the lower realm will definitely create this scene. However, judging from the current situation, the upper realm cannot interfere too much with the operation of the lower realm."
"Then, my husband, are you still going to try and seize the Heaven and Earth Sect? You should know that they have powerful connections."
"..."
"I've already robbed the Demonic Sect, so I don't need another Heaven and Earth Sect. Besides, the resources of the lower realm belong to everyone, so what's wrong with me using some?"
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly.
"Husband, when did you rob the Demon Sect?"
Lu Xueqi exclaimed in surprise.
"Cough...when else could it be? Of course, it was the trip I took a few years ago."
"Alright, let's not dwell on this topic and get started."
Fearing that Lu Xueqi would delve deeper, Li Daoxuan changed the subject.
Lu Xueqi nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
The two left this place and headed straight for the Tiandi Sect mine.
......
"In recent days, the Demonic Sect's offensive has become increasingly fierce. Could it be that they have recovered in just a few years?"
The disciple guarding the mountain frowned.
Li Daoxuan led Lu Xueqi straight past the man, who seemed unaware of their presence.
"This mine is a bit small. Oh well, we're already here, we can't just go back empty-handed."
"Smack!"
With a snap of his fingers, the entire mine was instantly enveloped by a ninth-order illusion array.
Lu Xueqi opened her mouth slightly: "Husband, what realm are you at now?"
"You've successfully transcended the tribulation, what's wrong?"
Li Daoxuan replied.
"The tribulation has been successfully completed, huh?! The tribulation... has been successfully completed?!"
Lu Xueqi looked completely bewildered.
She remembered that when she came here, her husband had just broken through to the early stage of Mahayana. In just a few years, he had crossed nearly two major realms.
"Let's just say that your husband and I have encountered a great opportunity."
Li Daoxuan smiled; this was indeed difficult to explain.
“Alright, but husband, you’ve already completed your tribulation and are just one step away from ascension. Xiaoyu and I are only at the Nascent Soul stage. Won’t that be too much of a burden?”
Lu Xueqi said worriedly.
"You're quite self-aware. You didn't even bother to cultivate properly, and you're not ashamed to be surpassed by your own daughter."
He pinched her chubby cheeks.
"Hmm... Even though you, my husband, don't cultivate yourself, we agreed to cultivate together, but you gave up after only a few months."
Lu Xueqi said irritably.
"cough..."
Li Daoxuan was speechless. Who knew that the AFK cultivation function would be enabled?
"Don't worry, I will naturally take my wife and Xiaoyu with me to ascend to heaven..."
At this point, Li Daoxuan paused, his brows furrowing slightly. He hadn't known the special nature of the lower realm before, and he probably would have done the same thing: become an immortal first and then take them to the upper realm to cultivate.
His preconceived notions from his past life led him to believe that it was better to cultivate in the upper realm.
Now, quite the opposite is true; here, the lower realm is a better place to build a solid foundation.
"Husband? What's wrong?"
Seeing Li Daoxuan's furrowed brows, Lu Xueqi asked.
So Li Daoxuan explained what he had just thought.
"It's alright, my husband, as long as you're strong."
Lu Xueqi comforted her.
"No, my wife, your aptitude is already quite good. I can't cut off your path."
Then he brought up Li Qingyu: "Even if my wife doesn't care, Xiaoyu, we still have to pave the way for her."
Lu Xueqi was deeply moved upon hearing this.
"I will cultivate diligently from now on and strive to catch up with my husband as soon as possible."
She made up her mind to start practicing diligently from today.
"There's no need to blame yourself. Just follow your own pace. The worst thing you can do in spiritual practice is to be impatient for quick results."
Soon, Li Daoxuan and Lu Xueqi finished searching the mine and moved on to the next one.
After a long time, the ninth-order illusion array here quietly collapsed, and the mine returned to normal, without the people inside noticing anything.
For several days in a row, the two plundered more than a dozen mines.
His attribute points also kept increasing rapidly.
"Is my luck really that bad? How come I can't even find a super-large mineral vein?"
Li Daoxuan muttered to himself, "These scraps of meat aren't enough. I need to get the kind of meat that meets the standards of the Demon Sect's No. 33 mine."
If the Demonic Sect has it, then the Heavenly Sect, which is even slightly stronger, must have it too.
With a thought, he grabbed a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect and read his memories.
"So that's where it is. No wonder so many of the mines I visit are small ones."
After reading the memories, Li Daoxuan suddenly realized what had happened.
The location where the Heaven and Earth Sect was founded is a geomantically auspicious place, and the nourishing ground for large mineral veins must also be so, and must be close to the Heaven and Earth Sect.
And the place he is currently in is still on the outskirts, so the scale of the mine is naturally small.
The disciple was safely returned to his original location.
"We still have to take some risks."
Li Daoxuan sighed.
Originally, I wanted to make some money from the mines far away from the Heaven and Earth Sect, so as to avoid conflict with the Heaven and Earth Sect's Tribulation Perfection cultivator.
It seems we have no choice but to leave now.
"Let's go and see the scenery of the Heaven and Earth Sect."
......
"I'm so tired, Qingxue. Let's rest for a while. There's no way we can kill all these demonic sect disciples."
Li Qingyu lay face down on the table.
"It's strange. They weren't this arrogant a few years ago. As far as I know, in the last great battle, the four Transcending Tribulation cultivators of the Demon Sect were all seriously injured. It's not something that can be recovered in just a few years."
Mu Qingxue analyzed.
"Perhaps the Demonic Sect is trying to cover their tracks. I guess those four Tribulation Transcending cultivators you mentioned are dead. The Demonic Sect is sending cannon fodder to distract you so as not to be discovered by you."
Li Qingyu said unintentionally.
Mu Qingxue smiled and shook her head: "It's not so easy to die during the tribulation. If such a situation were to occur, resulting in the deaths of four people undergoing the tribulation, we couldn't possibly fail to sense that level of battle."
"Okay, you're right. I'm going to get some rest today."
At first, she was excited about fighting the Demonic Sect, but she got tired of it later. Moreover, the fights were not easy, and she was often ganged up on by several Nascent Soul cultivators from the Demonic Sect.
These guys are really ruthless; they really broadened her horizons. She fell for their tricks several times, but she had many trump cards up her sleeve, and they couldn't break through her defenses, while they did.
"Then you should get some rest."
Mu Qingxue nodded. After all, Li Qingyu was not a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect, so this was not her obligation.
"Qingxue, aren't you going to rest?"
Li Qingyu asked in surprise.
