Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2296 - 1617: The Palace

”The great calamity is finally over!”

As a cultivator of the Purification Principle, Li Zhirui was perhaps more sensitive to the Tribulation Evil Energy than even the Golden Immortal Cultivators, and thus he was the first to discern the end of the calamity.

Yet...

Considering the nature of this calamity, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but frown slightly and say, ”Could it be that due to insufficient energy, the Tao Spirit Realm’s ascension failed?”

The great calamity ended, yet the Tao Spirit Realm showed no reaction, displaying no signs of world ascension.

Boom!

The next instant, a thunderous roar exploded in the ears of all living creatures. No matter where you were, and regardless of whether you had set up a restriction, you could hear this heart-shaking sound.

Some low-level beings, caught off guard, were scared to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Following this was a violent upheaval throughout the entire world: the earth cracked, mountains quaked, rivers boiled, oceans roared, and various phenomena emerged one after another.

Many of the confused beings, witnessing these phenomena, believed it was the apocalypse. Frantic and terrified, some even decided to flee the Tao Spirit Realm.

As for what they might encounter later or what fate awaits them? At this moment, they couldn’t care less about these concerns.

After all, to them, the Tao Spirit Realm was about to be destroyed, and staying would mean perishing with it. So, regardless of what happens later, they thought they should at least save their own lives first.

Some creatures felt that with their own cultivation, fleeing wouldn’t allow survival in The Void, so they began to indulge recklessly and act wantonly.

For instance, causing wanton destruction to the world, or launching massacres against beings with weaker strength!

Among them, the most came from those born of the Demon Cultivator and Devil Race.

Yet these creatures were also the most foolish, for they hadn’t figured out the situation before acting rashly and had no idea how much trouble they were inviting for themselves.

The result was that despite world ascension leading to a clear environment and laws showing benefit to all beings in cultivation, they barely received any advantages and might even face punishment afterward.

And Elder Xuan, as the greatest contributor, along with a group of Mystic Immortal Cultivators, they received the rewards they deserved.

The largest portion of the merit naturally belonged to Elder Xuan.

This reward granted his wish, not only solving his internal hazard but also giving him the opportunity to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm.

Surprisingly, he didn’t choose to retreat into seclusion to strive for the Golden Immortal Realm but instead abandoned the realm he pursued for countless years, exchanging that merit for compensation to leave the Tao Spirit Realm!

”Elder Xuan?! Why the sudden change of mind?”

The other Mystic Immortals were immensely shocked upon learning this, unable to comprehend why he would do so.

”Before, my vision was too narrow and only saw this world before me, forgetting that the vast and boundless Void Chaos is most suited to me.” Elder Xuan said calmly.

He said this as a modest remark; for someone able to seamlessly integrate all methods of cultivation, how could his vision be small? The true reason was far more complex.

For instance, back then, wanting transcendence was extremely difficult, as there was no way to acquire the immense merit needed to resolve all personal karma.

Bear in mind, his ability to transcend now was largely due to the last dozen days he persevered, where the spirit energy he transformed became key to aiding the Tao Spirit Realm’s ascension.

Additionally, leaving the complete methods of the Evil Spirit Transformation Array in the Tao Spirit Realm earned him tremendous merit.

Back then, breaking through to the Golden Immortal had become an obsession for Elder Xuan, entirely blinding his eyes and mind from seeing other options.

But now, having solved his internal hazard, possessing the possibility of a breakthrough to the Golden Immortal realm, his mind restored to normal naturally allowed him to see that the Tao Spirit Realm appeared an advanced Great Thousand World capable of accommodating Golden Immortal Cultivators.

After this successful ascension, its upper limit would progress further, becoming a Great Thousand World able to accommodate Taiyi Golden Immortal!

Even within the entire Three Thousand Worlds of the Universe, it would absolutely rank as a high-grade.

Yet compared to The Universe Void, the Tao Spirit Realm was merely a larger lake, unable to compare with the vast ocean.

Thus Elder Xuan abandoned the chance to break through to Golden Immortal in a short time, choosing to pursue a better and higher future!

But, not everyone could comprehend his hopeful outlook for the future.

He remained unconcerned about this.

Others’ opinions wouldn’t affect him the slightest bit.

”Thank you, everyone! Without you, I wouldn’t have succeeded; I hope we can meet again someday!”

Elder Xuan bowed deeply to everyone, sincerely expressing gratitude.

Due to the high requirements of the Evil Spirit Transformation Array, without these Mystic Immortals sharing the burden, he couldn’t have persevered so long.

”Wishing everyone’s Immortal Tao prospers and The Great Tao awaits!”

After speaking, he transformed into a spirit light and soared into the sky, disappearing instantly.

Leaving those Mystic Immortals to look at each other in astonishment.

”Do you think we should make the same choice as Elder Xuan?” One Mystic Immortal hesitated, feeling a slight temptation.

Because compared to The Void, the Tao Spirit Realm’s upper limit was still somewhat lower.

”People differ; Elder Xuan is confident and assured, intending to make a higher realm breakthrough after achieving Golden Immortal.”
