Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 328 - 334: Jade Peach

Xiaoqing flapped his wings, bringing forth gusts of Qingfeng wind. Under his control, it transformed into a massive tornado that wreaked havoc in the world, sweeping up the wild wind, turning the skies a shade darker as if a natural disaster had descended.

This was the Divine Power Xiaoqing had awakened after his breakthrough to the third rank, named Qinggang Break Wind. It was not only fast, but its attack power was also extremely high.

Under this Divine Power, the attacks from Liu Changhe and the others were quickly crushed. The tornado was unstoppable, and it even moved toward the Mountain Protection Array.

Li Zhirui was very pleased with this Divine Power belonging to Xiaoqing. Combined with Da Qingʼs Divine Power, one offensive and one defensive, they could potentially handle cultivators who were one minor realm higher than them.

”Quick, everyone must strike with all your power, we have to stop this tornado!” Liu Changhe urgently shouted.

He had some knowledge and recognized this Divine Power, aware that Qinggang Break Wind was extremely sharp. Anything caught in it would soon be reduced to ashes!

Their Mountain Protection Array was already on the verge of collapse under the onslaught from Gu An and Huang Xiao. If this tornado was added to the mix, it wouldnʼt be long before the formation completely fell apart.

”Brother Liu, what should we do now?” the Golden Core disciple said anxiously, ”If this continues, our Mountain Protection Array will be broken through before long.”

”Do you think I donʼt know that?” Liu Changheʼs face was filled with bitterness, but what could they do now? They were simply outmatched!

”Arrange for some of our disciples to escape through the secret tunnel. Let them flee as far and as long as they can. Before they have sufficient strength, they must not return.”

Many factions had the practice of digging escape tunnels for exactly this situation. Once in crisis, they could send a batch of cultivators through the tunnel to ensure the continuation of their lineage or bloodline.

Liu Changhe said sternly, ”Tell them to leave, and when the time comes, Brother Gu, you take the chance to escape too!”

As for the remaining disciples, they had no choice but to stay within the sect, to see if the Beast Taming Sect would spare their lives.

In other words, the majority of the disciples were being used as pawns, to divert Li Zhirui and the others.

Upon hearing this, a surge of joy involuntarily rose in the personʼs heart. No one wishes to face death when life is going well.

Of course, on the surface, one must feign reluctance, and only ʼcoercedʼ accept this kindness in the end.

Crackling...

Gu An and the other person, as if not knowing what fatigue was, kept attacking the formation relentlessly. Heaven rewards the diligent, and finally, they prised open a crack in the Mountain Protection Array.

With intricate things like a formation, once a flaw appears, complete collapse is imminent!

”Brother Gu, run! Remember to save your life, I entrust the legacy of the Featherfall Sect to you!” Seeing that the Great Array was about to shatter, Liu Changhe urgently reminded.

”Brother Liu, take care!” Brother Gu had a myriad of things to say, but at that moment, he could only mutter these four words.

Because the Mountain Protection Array was still in place, Li Zhirui could only watch helplessly as a Golden Core cultivator disappeared in front of him.

”Daoist Gu, thank you for your hard work, but please hasten your pace. If another Golden Core cultivator escapes, I wonʼt be to blame,” Li Zhirui reminded.

Upon hearing this, how could Gu An and his companion dare rest any longer? Li Zhirui was not a cultivator from Ancient Forest State. After the matter was resolved, regardless of what happened to the Featherfall Sect, he could leave directly.

But they couldnʼt do the same. Therefore, they must uproot the roots to prevent future trouble! Otherwise, a Golden Core cultivator with nothing to lose could cause immense damage.

The Formation dimmed under their attacks, soon losing its Spirit Light, and the Mountain Protection Array completely shattered.

Since there was only one Golden Core cultivator, Liu Changhe, Li Zhirui, along with Da Qing and Xiaoqing, easily suppressed him, killing him in a secure manner although it was slower, but it was safer.

Meanwhile, Gu An and Huang Xiao split up to take action, one person standing guard over the area, controlling all the disciples of the Featherfall Sect, while the other searched for escape tunnels, hoping to locate the whereabouts of the other Golden Core cultivator.

However, with half an hour passing, given the speed of a Golden Core cultivator, plus deliberate hiding, it was essentially impossible to find him.

So Huang Xiao returned with a look of disappointment on his face.

”Fellow Liu, do you know the whereabouts of your junior brother?” Gu An said with a smile, ”If you tell us, I can consider making it quick for you.”

How could he possibly be unhappy? Having defeated a longtime rival, the Beast Taming Sect could now monopolize Ancient Forest State.

”Pah!” Liu Changhe spat out, saying, ”Kill or slash as you please.”

Li Zhirui had no interest in watching these, recalled Da Qing and Xiaoqing back to his space, and said, ”Fellow Gu, Iʼd like to look around Yuluo Mountain. Once youʼve finished here, Iʼll come back and meet up with you.”

”Sure, go ahead,” Gu An agreed without a hint of hesitation.

He knew that by doing so, the Beast Taming Sect would lose some precious Spiritual Objects, but Li Zhirui played a significant role in taking down the Featherfall Sect. He inherently had the right to divide the Spiritual Objects within the mountain; there was no need to conflict with him over them.

Li Zhirui nodded and then left the area, flying towards the place with thicker Spiritual Energy.

He soon saw a medicinal garden; although the Spiritual Medicines growing there were not many, they were all third-rank, many of which he did not have.

”As expected from the longstanding power of Golden Core forces, their foundation remains deep despite any decline.”

As he spoke, Li Zhirui did not delay his actions, carefully digging up each Spirit Plant and transplanting them into his space.

He did not go overboard, only digging up one of each kind and even choosing the Spiritual Medicines that were far from maturity.

There were three medicinal gardens on Yuluo Mountain, which allowed Li Zhirui to acquire many third-rank Spiritual Medicines and several Foundation Establishment Spiritual Medicines that were almost ripe.

”This is...”

Li Zhirui arrived at the last place with rich Spiritual Energy. Across several mu of third-rank Spirit Field, there was only one low-lying, withered plant among all the others that lacked any Spiritual Objects.

”Fourth-rank Spirit Plant, Five Elements Jade Peach!”

For the first time, greed appeared in Li Zhiruiʼs eyes. The Five Elements Jade Peach flowered once every thirty years, bore fruit every thirty years, and took another thirty years to mature, yielding only thirty-six peaches each time.

Thirty-five of these Jade Peaches belonged to the five elements, with seven for each element. The remaining one embodied all five elements, containing a spiritual energy purity multiple times that of the other peaches and even offering some aid in the Divine Transformation breakthrough.

As described in the records, a single Jade Peach consumed by a Nascent Soul True Lord was equivalent to ten years of arduous cultivation, illustrating just how precious the Five Elements Jade Peach was.

The Five Elements Jade Peach before Li Zhirui was likely stunted due to insufficient Spiritual Energy, having grown poorly and was far from flowering and bearing fruit. Let alone a peach, it was far from even blooming.

If it were planted on a fourth-rank Spirit Vein, it would take at least a hundred years to mature.
