Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2238 - 1588: Shock

”Huh?”

As soon as the Earth Element Lady finished speaking, Qingpeng, Qingcang, and Li Mingyao all fell into shock and disbelief.

Since when did Jiu/Ancestor Rui actually have a favor owed by this Lady?! Did the two of them know each other before?

And it seemed this favor was huge—so great that it could make this Lady, at the critical moment when she herself was about to transcend, specially come to Mount Wanxian to repay it.

”May I ask, Lady, that tremor just now which affected the entire Primordial Spirit Land—was that caused by you?” Qingcang suddenly thought of something and asked uncertainly.

”Yes.” The Earth Element Lady only nodded calmly in acknowledgment, not feeling that this was anything remarkable.

Hiss—

But the three of them couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath. This extremely low‑key Lady—her strength, foundation, rank, and status were all frighteningly high!

Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, as Star Gods of the Sun and Taiyin, the two Great Main Stars, and both at the Heavenly Immortal Perfect Realm—their status and position were already high enough, right?

Yet when they transcended, they didn’t cause any phenomenon that affected the entire Primal Spirit Realm. Only the Sun and Taiyin, those two Stars, dimmed quite a bit.

But this Lady? From the looks of it, she hadn’t even formally started her transcendence, and she had already caused a violent tremor that spread through the Primordial Spirit Land. This was simply outrageous!

”The reason I can so quickly clear my karma, transcend and depart, is entirely thanks to Fellow Daoist Li Zhirui’s Purification Method he taught me back then, letting me obtain Merit by purifying the Polluted Sea.”

The Earth Element Lady had very little free time left, so of course she didn’t want to waste it. She spoke directly: ”At that time, he asked me to look after the Li family a bit, but the Li family has developed extremely well and simply didn’t need me to do anything. This favor has remained unpaid until now.”

”Now that transcendence is at hand, it is also time to repay it.”

As she spoke, without giving Qingpeng and Qingcang the time to react, she directly took out several Jade Slips and sent them before them, saying, ”Recorded in these Jade Slips are my insights and understandings of various Laws. I imagine they should be of some help to you.”

”Aside from that, there is also some of my experience regarding the development of the Divine Path. But if you are unwilling to be trapped in the Primal Spirit Realm, just read these experiences; don’t get too deeply involved, lest you entangle yourselves in more karma.”

”Time is about up. I should take my leave. I hope that in the future I can see you again in The Void.”

Having said that, she directly vanished without a trace. If not for the Jade Slips in their hands, it was as if everything just now had been an illusion.

After quite a while, only then did Qingpeng, Qingcang, and the others return to their senses, silently bowing toward the spot where the Earth Element Lady had stood.

It looked as though the Earth Element Lady owed Li Zhirui a huge karmic debt, but in reality, since Li Zhirui had long since transcended and was no longer within the Primal Spirit Realm, this karma fundamentally no longer existed.

Her visit today was completely a decision from the bottom of her heart, and once she transcended in the near future, the karma of gifting these Jade Slips would also completely dissipate.

That was why the three of them bowed, to express their gratitude and sincerely wish that this Lady could successfully transcend.

”Let’s first see what content is in these Jade Slips.” Qingpeng said.

”Alright.”

The two nodded in agreement, then each chose a Jade Slip to inspect.

The place became extremely quiet, and before they knew it, the three had sunk into them.

No one knew how long had passed before they withdrew their Divine Sense from the Jade Slips, but on each of their faces, there was the same look of respect.

”What Laws are recorded in the Jade Slips you read?”

Qingpeng said, ”Mine is the Earth Law.”

”Mine is the Netherworld Law...”

”Fertility Law.”

As the words fell, the three fell silent again, lowering their heads to look at the remaining Jade Slips in their hands.

If nothing unexpected happened, what was recorded in these should be other Laws.

They had never imagined that the Earth Element Lady, alone, had actually comprehended so many different Laws!

One must know that a person’s energy and ability are limited. This is why most beings only comprehend a single Law.

Even if they occasionally comprehend one or two additional Laws, it is either for some other reason, like obtaining a fortuitous encounter, or because they are related to the main Law, with the primary purpose still to raise the level of the main Law.

But with the Earth Element Lady, it was as if these issues did not exist at all!

From the Jade Slips they had seen so far, her insight into each Law had reached a rather profound level, and did not look like it was done just to push a primary Law forward.

”This Lady’s ability to comprehend the Dao is simply absurd!”

After they had looked through all the Jade Slips once, Qingcang couldn’t help but let out a sigh of emotion.

The Earth Law and the Reincarnation Law were the main Laws mastered by the Earth Element Lady. The depth she reached with them was breathtaking.

But besides these, there were also the Fertility Law, Purification Principle, Netherworld Law, Growth Law, and so on—Laws both related and unrelated—and every single Law had been comprehended to a profound Realm.

If it were any other Heavenly Immortal, these would all be at the level of their main cultivation Law!

As for who benefited the most from these insights into Laws, that was none other than Li Mingyao.

His main cultivation was precisely the Earth Law, and he was the Earth God, perfectly matching many of the Earth Element Lady’s insights.

Of course, he had a clear understanding of his own capabilities and would not greedily try to comprehend too many other Laws.

As for that final Jade Slip the Earth Element Lady gave them regarding the development of the Divine Path, after the three of them read it, they all shook their heads and threw it to the back of their minds.

They didn’t have such great ambition and energy, and did not intend to establish their own Divine Lineage.

First, the era was different now. Within the Divine Path, factions were everywhere. The Heavenly Emperor Ziwei commanded the Star Gods and Heavenly Court Gods, and below that were the Water God, Fire God, and so on. There was basically no room for development.

With their current strength, they held no advantage at all and could not possibly compete with other Divine Lineages. It would only be asking for trouble.

Second, they likewise did not wish to remain in the Primal Spirit Realm forever. If they were to establish a Divine Lineage, it would greatly deepen their karma with this realm, which would be nothing but creating trouble for themselves and increasing the difficulty of transcendence.

Of course, establishing a Divine Lineage was not without benefits; on the contrary, the benefits were great—such as obtaining vast luck and raising the Grade of one’s Original Divine Position.

So the three of them did not place much importance on this.

”Let’s put these Laws away and place them in the Inheritance Secret Room of the Scripture Pavilion.”

Qingpeng said, ”As for that Jade Slip recording the Earth Law, Ming Yao, you keep it to comprehend first and then put it in later.”

”Alright, thank you, Spirit Ancestors!” A look of joy appeared on Li Mingyao’s face. He already couldn’t wait to comprehend the insights and understandings within.

Qingpeng and Qingcang went to the Scripture Pavilion, properly stored the other Jade Slips and placed seals on them, then went to the clan’s main hall to inform the Clan Leader, Li Yuanzhang, of this matter.
