Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone

After a moment, Lu Xuanji asked, "How is the Lu Family, how are Fan’Er and Xian’Er?"

Ye Wanyi said, "The Lu Family is well, and they are fine too. However, in recent years, the Demon Race is gradually growing stronger, threatening the Chu Country’s borders. Intense clashes are occurring at the front lines, and a fierce war could break out at any moment, with the bloodshed continuing.

From the Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, Golden Core, up to the higher-level Nascent Soul cultivators, battles are being waged fiercely, with several already meeting tragic ends. Dozens of Nascent Souls have fallen amidst the calamity.

It’s just that the Divinity Transformation hasn’t engaged yet; both sides are restraining themselves, waiting for the right moment.

All it takes is a spark, and the Divinity Transformations from both sides will clash, entering a decisive battle state. By then, if the Human Race wins, it’s a relief. But if the Human Race loses, the Lu Family will undoubtedly face annihilation. By then, who knows if our Lu Family would still exist!"

Then, Ye Wanyi began discussing the situation over the past hundred years.

Small battles have been continuously occurring, but a great war has not erupted.

The situation hasn’t improved but is instead constantly deteriorating.

Both sides are amassing strength, waiting for the opportunity, just one catalyst away from a great war, and by then it won’t just be Nascent Soul cultivators fighting, it will be Divinity Transformation cultivators battling.

The scale of the battlefield will no longer be confined to small areas but will spread to the Chu Country, the vast regions of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and others.

The Divinity Transformation won’t easily start a fight, but once it does, it will spiral into an all-out war, and at that moment, no one can control the pace of the war, no one can guarantee survival until the end of the war.

Once the fight begins, both sides will be bloodthirsty, making it very hard to stop.

Lu Xuanji said worriedly, "Don’t overthink. When that moment arrives, it’s no more than a battle to the death. How could our Human Race fear a deathly fight? Besides, even if we wanted to retreat, we couldn’t. If we retreat, what about the tens of millions of Lu Family mortals, what about the tens of thousands of Lu Family cultivators? Losing our foundation in the Chu Country will lead the Lu Family to decline further, and even moving to another place means facing repression from local forces, and the crisis remains! We cannot retreat, and are unable to retreat! Even if we did, where would we retreat to?"

"Loose cultivators can flee when they see things going wrong, but we cannot!"

"The Lu Family, taking the entire clan along with its cultivators, cannot abandon Lu Family cultivators to flee solo; nor is it possible to flee with a handful of elite cultivators from the Lu Family, losing the masses of mortals as a foundation, losing the base needed to continue fighting, the Lu Family would gradually decline, perhaps even face extinction."

So don’t say things like as long as the green hills remain, there’s no fear of running out of firewood.

Many times, once something is lost, it’s lost forever, with no chance of recovering.

Similarly, stepping into the Divinity Transformation, he requires more resources for cultivation, and various consumptions are increasing, all of which need the Lu Family to provide.

Every year, the Lu Family cultivates large quantities of Spirit Rice, Spirit Medicine, and refines various Elixirs, Talismans, Magical Treasures, etc., to exchange for a large amount of Spirit Stones for him.

When refining certain Magical Treasures, some Lu Family cultivators take on part of the task, saving him some time and effort.

Some rare spiritual iron, Spiritual Ore, etc., things you can’t buy externally, require Lu Family cultivators to set up Grand Arrays, carry out cultivation, and transformation, etc.

Because Lu Family cultivators share certain tasks, providing or searching for certain resources for him, it eases a lot of his burden, saves unnecessary time, and allows him to devote most of his time to cultivation, significantly speeding up his cultivation process. But if fleeing the Chu Country, the Lu Family loses most of its foundation, falls into straitened circumstances, by then he will have to personally search for some cultivation resources, drastically reducing his cultivation time, greatly slowing down his cultivation speed.

In cultivating immortality, it comes down to resources.

Whomever has more cultivation resources, cultivates faster; whoever has more cultivation time improves their cultivation rapidly.

Many loose cultivators busy themselves with finding resources, drastically reducing their cultivation time, causing them to improve at a much slower pace compared to large sect cultivators.

Such lessons are profoundly painful for many loose cultivators.

If given a choice, no one would want to be a loose cultivator, living hand to mouth without enough time for cultivation.

Similarly, the Lu Family helped him greatly in the early stages, but after reaching the Golden Core stage, the help diminished, instead requiring his continuous support; but reaching the late Nascent Soul stage, especially after attaining Divinity Transformation, the help from the Lu Family increased significantly. From both an emotional and beneficial standpoint, Lu Xuanji cannot abandon the Lu Family, nor can he leave the Chu Country; a battle is inevitable.

Ye Wanyi worriedly asked, "Can the Human Race prevail? The Demon Race Divinity Transformations outnumber the Human Race Divinity Transformations, in recent years, their numbers have continually grown, who knows how much they’ve increased? If a decisive battle ensues, what are the odds for the Human Race?"

Lu Xuanji replied, "The Human Race has its trump cards, the Demon Race also has theirs; such trump cards aren’t disclosed until the last moment, even I have some trump cards. I can’t believe those top-tier powerhouses have none, either. Of course, it comes down to the competition for the opportunity to Refining Void."

"Refining Void opportunity?"

Ye Wanyi said, feeling it touched on a blind spot.

"The battle between the Human and Demon Races focuses on the Divinity Transformation battle. But the Divinity Transformation battle is essentially a half-step Refining Void battle. In my perception, the East Pole Celestial Venerable has already stepped into half-step Refining Void, the Golden Crow Great Venerable in the demon clan has also stepped into half-step Refining Void, and the Six Desires Demon Venerable in Yue Country has also stepped into half-step Refining Void!"

"These are the known half-step Refining Void powerhouses, there might be some unknown ones. The Demon Race fears the Human Race’s Divinity Transformation powerhouses, but they fear the East Pole Celestial Venerable even more. Ordinary Divinity Transformation powerhouses, when encountering the East Pole Celestial Venerable, are killed in just one or two moves, just like ordinary Golden Core cultivators are no match against a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator!"
