Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 917: 923 Chapter: Shocking

”Jiu has already broken through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage!” Li Zhirui and the others gathered once again because of this matter.

However, Shen was charging into the Fourth Order, and Mu was in deep sleep refining his mana, so they did not participate.

”Isn’t this a bit slow for Jiu?” Xiaoqing furrowed his brows, suddenly thinking of an unpleasant speculation, ”Could it be that the Tianhua Grand Dream Yin Fruit did not help Jiu elevate his realm to Divine Transformation Completion Stage?”

”How could that be! With Jiu’s talents, in three hundred years, he would definitely be able to elevate his realm to perfection, perhaps even progressing further.” Cang shook his head, not agreeing with Xiaoqing’s speculation.

”If it really is as you say, then why did Jiu take thirty years just to break through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage?”

They all knew that if one’s realm surpassed their cultivation, the speed of cultivation was extremely fast, and Li Zhirui had already been at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul for quite some time before he went into seclusion.

”There’s no need for wild guesses. Just use the Soul Voice Transmission Secret Method and ask Jiu directly,” Da Qing said, effectively ending the argument.

Under the gazes of the two, Da Qing began to use the secret technique.

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui, who was refining his mana in the Spirit Realm, immediately ceased his practice to respond.

To tell the truth, he had really forgotten to contact Da Qing and the others!

So when Li Zhirui heard from Da Qing about the argument between Xiaoqing and Cang, he apologetically said, ”Sorry, I was too overjoyed before, and later, I was focused on cultivating, I forgot to check in with you all.”

”Jiu, it’s good that you’re alright.”

Afterwards, Li Zhirui explained to Da Qing why it had taken him so long to break through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage, primarily because he had been overly meticulous!

Thinking about his long lifespan, he felt no rush to increase his cultivation, hence, he spent a lot of time refining his mana, making it incredibly pure.

If his mana was like soft cotton before, Li Zhirui’s mana was now like hardened steel.

Of course, Li Zhirui wouldn’t be so extreme going forward.

Because it took too much time!

He felt that refining his mana to the solidity of a ’rock’ would suffice. There was no need to reach the ’steel’ level.

Plus, Li Zhirui was somewhat impatient and wanted to see the landscapes of the Great Thousand World!

He also felt that he might have been mistaken.

In the Profound Origin Realm, Li Zhirui was certainly young and had a lot of his lifespan left, but in the Great Thousand World, teeming with prodigious talents, he might just be one of the crowd.

Moreover, the path ahead was arduous and perilous. Without the guidance of a master, he would have to forge his own path.

Thinking this way, Li Zhirui didn’t feel that he had much of his lifespan left.

So, he estimated that in about fifty years, he would start preparing for his Tribulation Transcendence, advancing this by twenty years compared to his original estimate.

”How is that plan of yours coming along?” Li Zhirui asked.

Da Qing naturally did not conceal anything and told Li Zhirui all about their preparations in detail.

”Good, then a few years before I undergo Tribulation Transcendence, I’ll inform you all, and then you can announce it to all our clan members,” Li Zhirui thought for a moment and felt there was nothing problematic with their revised plan.

He asked about Jiang Fengwu, Li Chengsheng, Li Chengshuo, and the family’s situation over these thirty years, then ended the conversation.

After all, the secret method of Soul Voice Transmission was extremely draining on Divine Sense, and they had been chatting for quite a long time, Da Qing’s Divine Sense was about to be exhausted.

In the next thirty years, the Li family faced several Thunder Tribulations for Divine Transformation.

Among them, Jiang Fengwu’s two spirit beasts, Dragon Carp and Qingniao, both successfully broke through to the Fifth Order, and she herself was expected to break through to the Middle Stage of Divine Transformation within the next decade due to feedback from her Mana.

Li Chengsheng’s Chaoyang Crow also broke through to the Fifth Order.

Apart from the three Spirit Beasts, Li Zhirui once regarded Li Xianxun and Li Mingyao, who were considered Divine Transformation seeds, as having broken through to Divine Transformation within just five years apart.

Li Xianxun, based on the incomplete Taiyi Scudding Wind Path Scripture and combining all the family’s Cultivation Techniques of wind, tailored a Cultivation Technique for himself!

During this process, Li Xianxun’s realm improved very quickly, making breaking through to Divine Transformation a natural success.

Li Mingyao took a different approach, taking steps deliberately and solidly to reach the Divinity Transformation Realm.

It was only because his aptitude was excellent and his comprehension was extremely high; otherwise, Li Mingyao’s steady approach would not have allowed him to break through Divine Transformation so quickly.

As for other cultivators of different realms in the family, a considerable number emerged during these thirty years.

Overall, the power of the Li family continued to grow rapidly, soaring to an extent that left Xuanfa Pavilion, Southern Edge Commerce Association, and nearby powers dumbfounded and deeply shaken.

It was for this reason that many powers set their sights on the Li family, wanting to understand why the cultivation of Li family cultivators was improving so swiftly and what unique aspects were involved.

They, of course, dared not make a move against the Li family. After all, the Li family now had over a dozen Transcended Divine Beings and was protected by Wanxian Island’s Fifth-order Island Defense Array. What would the cost be to take down the Li family?

And once a move was made, it was necessary to eradicate them completely, otherwise endless troubles would remain!

Should any Divine Transformation cultivator, or a few of them, escape, from then on, every disciple or clan member venturing outside would live in constant unease!

Not daring to act openly, they could only resort to secretive and malicious methods.

Ambushing and capturing Li family cultivators outside, and inside, trying every possible means to infiltrate.

With a two-pronged approach, it wasn’t long before they discovered that it was due to the unique heritage Cultivation Technique of the Li family, the Wanling Sutra!

Contracting a Spirit Beast would improve the purity of one’s Spiritual Root, albeit slightly.

Whether cultivators or Spirit Beasts, as long as their cultivation broke through, they could feed back Mana to each other. Importantly, as long as the Spirit Beast was not limited by Bloodline Shackles, there would be no bottlenecks before its cultivation surpassed the cultivator!

The advantages of the Wanling Sutra were discovered by various powers after considerable effort and thought.

Knowing the reasons, most powers were disappointed; the Wanling Sutra indeed had unique aspects, but it was not worth the risk of acting against the Li family.

They saw very clearly that, while the advantages of the Wanling Sutra were significant, the disadvantages were also numerous.

After contracting a Spirit Beast, one would need to invest resources to cultivate it, and it’s necessary to contract high-grade Spirit Beasts from the outset, otherwise, one must later find Spiritual Objects to help enhance the grade.

Do you want to ignore it? The cultivation levels of a cultivator and their Spirit Beast cannot surpass by a Great Realm! If you want to break through to Nascent Soul, then your Spirit Beast must break through to the Third Order.

Moreover, if a Spirit Beast dies, part of the Divine Soul Origin will be permanently lost, equivalent to cutting off one’s path!

This risk is significant.

After all, starting from the Golden Core Realm/Third Order, every breakthrough to a Great Realm involves overcoming a Tribulation!

And it is well known that the Thunder Tribulation for Spirit Beasts is considerably stronger compared to cultivators.

If the Spirit Beast dies during the Thunder Tribulation, the cultivator’s cultivation would be permanently halted.

These numerous costs made the Wanling Sutra appear flavorless yet regrettable to discard, like an unappealing spare rib in their eyes.
