Chapter 430 Six major families gather together
"She's brought her descendants back for revenge. I don't know how they entered the world of cultivation, but there are quite a lot of them, hundreds of them." Ji Lin frowned, a look of worry on his face. He knew full well that the spiritual energy in the world of cultivation was becoming increasingly thin, resources were scarce, and while the major families maintained a superficial peace, undercurrents were surging. Under such circumstances, the sudden appearance of hundreds of people of unknown origin was undoubtedly a bombshell, threatening to trigger a greater crisis at any moment.
"Hundreds of people?" Upon hearing this, the Qin family head blurted out, his face filled with surprise. In his opinion, while the barrier of the cultivation world had gradually weakened over time, it was nearly impossible for hundreds of people to enter without a trace. Furthermore, their family had a vast intelligence network within the cultivation world, yet they hadn't received any news. This was truly bizarre.
"Hundreds of people, and we haven't received any information. Are you sure?" Patriarch Mu's face was filled with suspicion, his eyes filled with doubt. He paced back and forth, secretly wondering, such a large number of people entered the cultivation world, and they were completely unaware. What secrets were hidden behind this? Could some powerful force be secretly manipulating this?
"Could it be that the barrier has disappeared?" Patriarch Nangong frowned as he raised the question in his mind. In his opinion, only if the barrier disappeared could so many people enter the cultivation world without a trace.
"I've already had someone investigate the barrier. It's still there, but it's very thin," Ji Lin explained quickly. He knew the importance of the barrier to the world of cultivation. If it disappeared, the world of cultivation would be directly exposed to external threats, with disastrous consequences.
"It's still there! With so many people coming in, there's no way we wouldn't feel anything!" Patriarch Nangong's face was filled with confusion, his eyes gleaming with thought. He quickly sorted through the various possibilities in his mind, trying to find a plausible explanation. Could it be that the other party had mastered some special method, able to evade their perception and slip through the barrier silently? Or perhaps there was a loophole in the barrier that they hadn't noticed yet? For a moment, all kinds of speculations flooded his mind.
"I can't figure this out either, so I told you to come and discuss it with me," Ji Lin said helplessly. He looked at the clan leaders present, hoping to get some useful advice. After all, this matter concerned the safety of the entire cultivation world, and the Ji family alone would probably be unable to handle such a complex situation.
"This matter must be investigated immediately." Patriarch Nangong's gaze was piercing, his expression solemn, his voice brimming with undeniable authority. He knew full well that the mysterious intrusion of these hundreds of individuals into the world of cultivation might conceal a grave danger. If the truth wasn't uncovered promptly, the entire world would be plunged into irreparable ruin. Maintaining the stability and security of the world of cultivation was his unshirkable responsibility.
"Master Nangong, we agree to investigate this matter immediately. The spiritual energy is practically depleted now. If the barrier disappears, we must prepare to emerge." Master Deng narrowed his eyes, pondered for a long moment, and then spoke slowly. His tone held a hint of resignation and worry, yet he had already been carefully weighing the pros and cons. In his view, with the dwindling spiritual energy, the cultivation world was becoming increasingly difficult. If the barrier truly vanished, emerging might be the only way out. Rather than waiting for death, it was better to plan ahead and find new opportunities for the family's future.
"Everyone, regardless of the outcome, I have one more thing I need to discuss with you this time." Patriarch Nangong straightened his back, scanning each of the clan leaders present. His tone was as solemn as a death knell. Seeing this, everyone put away their distracting thoughts and looked at him intently, holding their breath, awaiting his next words.
"The spiritual energy is becoming increasingly thinner. Its disappearance is certain. We must prepare for our birth." Patriarch Nangong spoke word by word, his voice echoing through the empty hall like a hammer, striking everyone's heart. For a moment, the hall fell into a brief silence as everyone secretly pondered the possibilities and challenges of birth.
"Well, let's discuss what to do after we get out!" After an indefinite period of silence, one of the family heads broke the silence. Everyone nodded in agreement. After all, upon their return to the world, they would face a completely unfamiliar world. The social rules of ordinary humans were completely different from the familiar world of cultivation. They needed to be fully prepared to gain a foothold in this new environment.
However, as the six major families discussed their plans for their post-birth, their greed and selfishness were exposed. They envisioned dividing the outside world into distinct regions, each claiming a territory and establishing their own sphere of influence. They viewed the outside world as a no-man's land, to be carved up as they pleased, completely disregarding the existence of nations. Their arrogance was extreme, as if once they emerged from the realm of cultivation, the entire world would be theirs, with no regard for ordinary humans. They didn't realize that this arrogant attitude would ultimately bring them unbearable consequences, leading to a severe setback one day in the future.
"Fellow clan leaders, there's more than just our six major clans in the cultivation world right now. There's also the Li clan, to which my rebellious daughter belongs! With the division we have now, what if they try to interfere?" Ji Lin watched as everyone had already made their initial spheres of influence. His heart tightened, and he quickly shifted the conversation to the Li clan, to which Ji Mei belonged. He harbored a deep hatred for Ji Mei and wished to completely eradicate her and the forces behind her immediately, to prevent further trouble for himself and the Ji clan.
"Of course we have to deal with them!" Patriarch Wang said without hesitation, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. In his mind, resources were limited, and he absolutely could not tolerate other forces trying to take a piece of the pie. Even if he could no longer cultivate, he would firmly control all resources within his family, ensuring that the family's status and interests were not threatened in any way.
