Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 977: Chapter 957: Legacy_2

While transforming the Golden Core into a Nascent Soul, the Spirit Seed could leave the physical body, choose a piece of Spirit Land to plant itself, and from then on, you would become the master of this small piece of Spirit Land. You would perceive any changes occurring within it, which is why it was also called the Blessed Land Realm.

As the Spirit Seed grew, the area of the Blessed Land under control would expand. Once one’s self broke through to the Void Refinement Realm, they could elevate the Blessed Land to a Cave Heaven, thereafter being known as the Cave Heaven Realm.

As long as one was within the Blessed Land or Cave Heaven Realm, their strength would receive a certain enhancement, which is why the elder was so shocked and excited when he saw Li Zhirui.

Before breaking through to the Immortal Realm, one needed to continuously accumulate the essence of Cave Heaven, increase its Laws, preparing for the lift of the Cave Heaven into a Minor Thousand World during Ascension, integrating it into one’s own Dantian.

Theoretically, Immortals who cultivated ”Terrestrial Spirit Path Records” were absolutely first-class in power among their peers, even invincible, for they had the support of a Minor Thousand World, not worrying about the consumption of Mana.

Yet, this seemingly supreme cultivation technique had several fatal flaws!

The first was the accumulation and increase of Cave Heaven’s essence and Laws, which were incredibly challenging and would greatly hold back a cultivator’s progress.

However, this flaw had been mended over the tens of thousands of years by the Earth Spirit Sect, becoming like the ”Myriad Spirits Scripture,” where the enhancement of Cave Heaven would reciprocally help the cultivator breakthrough.

But there remained an unperfected disadvantage!

The Earth Spirit Sect didn’t know how to elevate the Cave Heaven to a Minor Thousand World!

This led to the absence of anyone reaching the Immortal Realm within the Earth Spirit Sect over tens of thousands of years.

So, the concerned elder decided, without any tests, to pass all of the legacies directly to Li Zhirui during the last moments of his life.

But in Li Zhirui’s view, the key issue why the Earth Spirit Sect had continuously failed to solve the problem was that they were in the Middle Thousand Worlds!

Once breaking through to the Immortal Realm, one had to undertake the Tribulation Ascension and leave. But at that time, the cultivator was still in the Tribulation Transcending Realm, completely unable to elevate the Cave Heaven and consequentially dragged down by it, failing at the critical moment.

This was why the Earth Spirit Sect had still not found a solution.

Maybe later, some in the Earth Spirit Sect realized this issue, but those cultivating ”Terrestrial Spirit Path Records” could not Ascend.

And if they arranged for others to cultivate different techniques to Ascend first to the Upper Realm, there were no means to communicate between the two worlds. Even if they found a solution, it could not be relayed back to the Sect.

But Li Zhirui was different; where he was now, the Primal Spirit Realm was part of the Great Thousand World. Even if he broke through to the Immortal Realm, he could still stay in his current world and thus try ways to elevate the Cave Heaven.

Moreover, he had a significant advantage!

That was because Li Zhirui already possessed a special Personal Space, which was between a Cave Heaven and a Minor Thousand World!

If he were to cultivate ”Terrestrial Spirit Path Records,” he would be several steps ahead of others!

”Perhaps I should abandon ’Myriad Spirits Scripture,’ and instead cultivate ’Terrestrial Spirit Path Records.’”

After all, the complete version of the former only reached the Great Vehicle Realm, whereas the latter directly reached the Immortal Realm, although the final Immortal Realm had not yet been proven feasible.

But everything before that suited Li Zhirui’s cultivation, and it would also enhance his own strength! Since he could carry the Blessed Land and Cave Heaven with him.

As for how to break through to the Immortal Realm and how to elevate the Minor Thousand World, those were problems for later, not something Li Zhirui needed to consider now.

Faced with two significantly different cultivation techniques, Li Zhirui didn’t hesitate much and decided to switch to ”Terrestrial Spirit Path Records!”

Of course, not now, when the timing was not right.

Not only because the Taixu Illusionary Realm was full of dangers, if Li Zhirui switched now, he wouldn’t be able to exert his full strength for a long time, but he also wanted to collect the rich rewards from the Cave Abyss Sect.

After the switch, his demand for High-Rank Spirit Objects would increase significantly.

And the complete version of the ”Myriad Spirits Scripture” could not be discarded either; it was beneficial to have an additional high-rank Cultivation Technique inherited by the family.

To accelerate the integration of the Taixu Illusionary Realm and Cave Abyss State, Li Zhirui decided not to continue being lazy and started to proactively activate the Life Water Bag, spreading and nurturing the lotus seeds everywhere.

”Is this the place?”

One day, a group of unwelcome guests arrived at the Land of Purification.

From the aura emanating from their bodies, it was clear that all of these dozen-plus individuals were Demon Cultivators!

”That coward hiding in the shadows, come out!”

The leading Great Vehicle Demon Cultivator, wielding tremendous Mana, his voice spread for dozens of miles around.

At the edge of the Territory, purifying, Li Zhirui suddenly frowned and muttered to himself, ”These Demon Cultivators really are not afraid of death, daring to come here!”

Unless a Tribulation Transcending Demon Cultivator personally took action, with his current strength, even if ten more Great Vehicle Demon Cultivators came, he would not be afraid at all.

However, Tribulation Cultivators were busy improving their realms to ascend and leave this world, not becoming destitute dogs on the run, with no time to care for other matters.

”Since you seek death, then I will grant it!”

With a thought, Li Zhirui transformed into a cloud of mist, tearing through the sky, swiftly flying toward that group of Demon Cultivators.

During his journey, those dozen or so Demon Cultivators were wreaking havoc in the Land of Purification, emitting a foul smoke, causing creatures to flee, and the Cultivators had no power to resist.

Across a thousand miles, Li Zhirui took only a quarter of an hour to arrive, and those Demon Cultivators who were slaughtering creatures and wantonly destroying, had no idea that a great disaster was impending.

”You all deserve to die!”

Looking at the extensively damaged land, Li Zhirui’s heart was filled with towering rage, his vast and boundless Mana burst forth, and he now appeared like a terrifying Demon God; his fearsome aura pinned a few lower-rank Demon Cultivators to the ground, unable to move.

”How is this possible! This definitely isn’t the power a Great Vehicle realm should have!” The leading Great Vehicle Demon Cultivator was also trembling in fear, as he seemingly saw his impending doom, his face ashen.

Li Zhirui paid no attention to the disheveled states of the Demon Cultivators, his raging heart needing release, so he did not hesitate to kill a few low-rank Demon Cultivators.

As for the few Great Vehicle and Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators’ resistances, they were not worth mentioning in his eyes; he simply did not take action for the time being.

”I’ll fight you!”

A certain Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator, unable to withstand the suffocation and mentally collapsing, even had the wild idea of attacking Li Zhirui.

But in his view, this was just a slightly bigger ant, effortlessly killed with a strike.

Seeing this, the other Demon Cultivators completely lost any desire to continue fighting and immediately fled in all directions.

”Thinking of escaping? Did you ask me?”

Li Zhirui sneered, strands of cloud ropes appeared behind them, directly tying them up, then growing barbs that pierced into their Dantians.

”Ah!”

Accompanied by several screams, the Demon Cultivators, who were once high and mighty, had now turned back into mortals, rapidly aging and then dying.

Li Zhirui casually grew a few wooden stakes, erecting these Demon Cultivators’ corpses as a warning to those creatures who, ignorant of death, wished to destroy the Land of Purification.

He no longer wanted to waste time in the Taixu Illusionary Realm; therefore, anything that delayed him accelerating the Integration process, Li Zhirui would directly eradicate.

But sometimes, trouble was not something he could avoid just by wanting to!

Dispatched by several Immortals of the Sea Clan, ten Eighth Rank members of the Sea Clan, accompanied by hundreds of Seventh and Sixth Rank, arrived at the Land of Purification.

Similarly dispatched were the Cultivators who came to protect Li Zhirui, following closely behind.

And behind these two groups of Cultivators and the Sea Clan, was a battlefield that kept moving toward them!

”Damn it! Can’t they just let me properly draw in the Taixu Illusionary Realm?”

The moment so many high-order beings stepped into the Land of Purification, Li Zhirui knew, his face showing annoyance.

Although relying on the blessings of the Heavenly Dao, Li Zhirui was confident in trapping all these people in the Land of Purification, the Sea Clan was not an entity to be trifled with.

He could swiftly kill all these members of the Sea Clan now, but once his true identity was discovered, not only would he be doomed, but his entire family would be implicated.

Especially since the Li family’s residence, the Thousandfold Mountains, was not far from the East Sea, merely just over a thousand miles away.
