Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 409 - 415: Chance Encounter

Clearly, Li Chengshuo was also aware of Li Chengshengʼs temperament. Hearing Li Zhirui say this, he sighed, waved his hand listlessly, and said, ”Oh well, let him be. If he wants to learn divination, let him pursue it.”

”You, as a father, should advise him more, to make sure he does not stray from the right path.”

Having said that, he sent Li Zhirui out.

Li Zhirui returned to his cave dwelling, looking at the empty courtyard—Jiang Fengwu was still comprehending cultivation techniques, Li Chengsheng was learning divination, and Li Chengshuo was studying formations.

In this way, he seemed to have become the one with nothing to do.

——

Meanwhile, in the distant central region.

Suddenly, above a Tribulation Transcendence cave dwelling in Immortal City, the wind and clouds changed abruptly as clouds of tribulation gathered, thunder roared, as if a Divine Dragon was rampaging through them.

This commotion caught the attention of many cultivators.

”It looks like another Golden Core true person is about to emerge!”

However, in the central region, Golden Core cultivators were quite common, so most cultivators only gave it a glance, at most giving a sigh, before withdrawing their gaze.

Boom—

The first bolt of Tribulation Thunder smashed down, its blinding light roaring through heaven and earth, its terrifying force seemingly capable of destroying all that exists.

Clang!

A clear ring of sword chime sounded. Except for the one who wielded the sword, no one could hear it clearly, but the next moment, a sword light that seemed to tear apart the heavens and earth soared up, heading straight for the Tribulation Thunder with an unstoppable momentum.

At the moment Sword Qi collided with the Tribulation Thunder, a massive explosion erupted, and a beautiful Lingzhi mushroomed in mid-air.

”What powerful Sword Qi!”

”Is this actually a Sword Cultivator?!”

As soon as Li Zhixuan made a move, she caught the gaze of half the cityʼs cultivators, some filled with shock, others with solemn expressions, and a few were thrilled to meet a fellow practitioner, even getting up and rushing toward the site of the tribulation.

Clang!

A sound akin to clashing gold and iron striking unexpectedly rang out. In the next breath, Li Zhixuan unleashed a plain, unadorned sword light, which was aimed at none other than the tribulation clouds above!

”Gulp—”

Some cultivator, taken aback, swallowed audibly.

”This person is incredibly arrogant to raise a hand against Heavenly Tribulation!”

Ordinary cultivators would wait for the Tribulation Thunder to fall before counterattacking, but Li Zhixuan didnʼt wait for the Tribulation Thunder to condense. Instead, she took on the tribulation clouds, or the Heavenly Tribulation directly, intending to disperse them and pre-emptively end the tribulation!

”Hahaha, truly one of our own!” roared a cultivator with a huge sword, laughing wildly.

Another cultivator, with white hair and an appearance like an ordinary old man, exclaimed, ”This fellow daoist is truly incredible. To have a Sword Heart while still in the Foundation Establishment Stage; the newer generations are indeed to be feared.”

”Itʼs rare to come across a fellow practitioner; after she emerges, I must have a discussion on the Dao with her!”

”Exactly!” several other Golden Core Sword Cultivators chimed in.

In the eyes of these Sword Cultivators, most of the current ʼSword Cultivatorsʼ could only be considered ʼcultivators who wield swordsʼ. Only those who had condensed a Sword Heart and comprehended their own Sword Dao were considered their true peers.

In a huge Immortal City in the Central Region, there were only so few sword cultivators, which showed how difficult it was!

Under Li Zhixuanʼs earth-shattering sword strike, the second bolt of Tribulation Thunder actually fizzled out in its tracks, leaving countless cultivators astonished.

The third Tribulation Thunder was used for self-refinement; with her right hand wielding the sword, Li Zhixuan stood proudly, using her powerful consciousness to divide and refine the Tribulation Thunder, polishing the Golden Core in her Dantian bit by bit.

The subsequent Heart Demon Tribulation, for Li Zhixuan, was like scratching an itch through a boot, as she swiftly dispatched the Heart Demon in mere moments.

Clouds of Tribulation transformed into dense and pure Spiritual Energy that poured into her body; her somewhat ethereal Golden Core quickly solidified, and the overwhelming pressure of a powerful Golden Core unfolded with it.

However, unlike other Golden Core cultivators, Li Zhixuanʼs aura gave off a prickling sensation as if touched by the edge of a blade.

”Fellow Daoist, we are all fellow sword cultivators. We thought to pay a visit, but it seems you still need to consolidate your realm. We will come again after you have left seclusion,” they said.

”When the time comes, I will certainly pay a visit to all fellow Daoists!” Li Zhixuan said cheerfully.

On her journey thus far, she had not encountered her peers, and much was achieved through her own efforts. Now that she had found her organization, how could she not be happy?

However, when her gaze swept across a certain corner, it paused involuntarily for a moment.

Li Zhiyue also realized she had been spotted, smiled slightly to convey her congratulations, and then turned to leave.

As she turned her back, her expression grew very complex; she actually sensed a deadly danger emanating from Li Zhixuan!

You must know, Li Zhixuan had just broken through and had yet to solidify her new realm, whereas she was already in the Golden Core Late Stage, with mana countless times more powerful, yet she felt endangered!

Li Zhixuan, too, withdrew her gaze, her mind speculating about Li Zhiyueʼs current realm.

It may seem like Li Zhixuan did not care much about Li Zhiyue, but the comparison to her had always been present in her heart since the beginning!

The only difference being that if Li Zhixuan lost, she would do everything in her power to catch up, rather than wallow in self-pity.

ʼFoundation Establishment, Golden Core, I was one step behind in both, but Nascent Soul, I definitely wonʼt be after you!ʼ Li Zhixuan vowed secretly in her heart.

----

Time swiftly flew by, and before long, more than half a year had passed.

Jiang Fengwu, who had been comprehending and revising her Cultivation Techniques, finally completed this task.

After concocting several batches of Spirit Pills, Li Zhirui stepped out of the Alchemy Room. The first thing he saw was Jiang Fengwu, looking somewhat pale but with bright, spirited eyes, exuding vibrancy.

”Wife, when do you plan to buy the Spirit Beast?” After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two began discussing formal matters.

”Iʼll discreetly visit Green Mountain State tomorrow.” Jiang Fengwu could hardly wait to form a contract with a Spirit Beast.

”I still have quite a bit of Spiritual Medicine to process, so I canʼt accompany you,” said Li Zhirui as he handed over a storage pouch containing three hundred thousand Spirit Stones, more than enough for her to purchase two quality third-grade Spirit Beasts.

”Oh, that reminds me!” Li Zhirui suddenly recalled something and added, ”If you come across any divination Methods that arenʼt duplicates, buy them all.”

Jiang Fengwu didnʼt refuse the Spirit Stones, reasoning it was safer to accept them even though she had plenty, but she didnʼt understand why Li Zhirui would make such a request.

Li Zhirui sighed and explained the situation with their son Li Chengsheng in detail, saying, ”The family wouldnʼt possibly purchase divination texts just for Sheng alone; as his parents, we naturally need to put in extra effort.”

Perhaps Li Chengsheng truly had a talent for divination; over the past half-year, he had already mastered everything related to divination the family possessed, even achieving a thorough understanding!

”Divination?” Jiang Fengwu wanted to say more, but so much time had already passed, the die was cast, and she could only swallow her words back down.
