Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 471 - 477: Rage

```

In addition to various spiritual objects prepared by the Li family for this period, Li Zhirui was not very worried that they would encounter any misfortune.

”Yes, we should have more confidence in them,” Li Shiqing said with a smile.

Meanwhile, Li Zhixuan was making her final preparations. The evil qi she had accumulated during her previous experiences had all been infused into her life-bound magic sword, the Tao-seeking Sword, leaving only a portion of the murderous aura left.

The originally dark golden Tao-seeking Sword, because of the evil qi and murderous aura, was turning a blackish-red color, emitting a somewhat demonic air.

If it continued in this direction, it might very well become a demonic sword!

But there was no denying that this transformation increased the killing power of the Tao-seeking Sword, and even the will of some low-ranking cultivators who lacked determination couldnʼt withstand looking at it for too long, as it would harm their fragile spiritual souls.

As the owner of the Tao-seeking Sword, Li Zhixuan didnʼt see any problem with this. In her eyes, a sword was a tool for killing; as long as it was sharp enough to kill, that was all that mattered to her, with no distinction between demonic or celestial swords.

In another place, Li Chenghuo was crafting a weapon, a terrifying weapon, made from the scraps of Smelted Sinmetal and the true fire of Li Zhirui— a one-time use magic artifact similar to the Heavenly Thunder Pearl!

Li Zhiruiʼs Nascent Soulʼs true fire was too powerful, ordinary spiritual objects couldnʼt contain it for long, only Smelted Sinmental, a forth-rank spiritual object born from a volcano, could barely manage it.

Li Chenghuoʼs method was straightforward: use layers of Sealing Skills to keep the true fire in a state of dormancy until it was needed, then with just a bit of mana, in a few breathsʼ time, it would erupt into a beautiful yet terrifying flame that would burn everything in the vicinity to ashes.

With the True Fire Thunderbolt Pill, Li Chenghuo was brimming with confidence, believing that this time they would surely return with a full load of treasures.

Jiang Fengwu, during this time, had also crafted various array plates, convenient for when they entered the Secret Realm, so they could quickly set up formations to trap their enemies first and then slowly wear them down to death.

Time hurried by, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

One day, Shen Leishan sent a Golden Core Elder to extend an invitation, as if they were worried that the Li family would back out at the last moment.

”Are you all prepared?” Li Zhirui looked at the people in front of him—Jiang Fengwu, Li Zhixuan, Li Chenghuo, and the two Spirit Beasts Da Qing and Xiaoqing—with a serious expression. ”Check everything carefully, make sure nothing is left behind.”

As for the Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts, naturally, they were all kept in the Spirit Beast Bag, ready to be released after entering the Secret Realm.

The main concern was that the Taixu Devil Race of Great Void Province might see them and become enraged, leading to an actual battle, which would defy their original intention.

Therefore, the Li familyʼs team appeared to be only five ʼpeopleʼ.

The Elder from Shen Leishan who witnessed this scene pursed his lips in secret, a hint of disdain in his eyes. He thought, was this considered a Nascent Soul force, and what difference did it have from the nouveau riche?

The glory of the entire clan rested on Li Zhirui alone, and if any misfortune befell him, the Li family would collapse in an instant and would be devoured completely by the surrounding predators.

”We are ready!” everyone replied in succession after checking their belongings.

”Then, letʼs set out.”

No sooner had he spoken than Li Zhirui summoned the Spirit Boat, taking everyone to the agreed-upon location.

The wind whistled by their ears, and scenery flashed past rapidly. Under Li Zhiruiʼs control, the journey of over a thousand miles took only a short quarter of an hour to reach their destination.

”Sorry to have kept you waiting!” From afar, Li Zhirui could see a massive Spirit Boat; getting a bit closer, he knew it was Cloud Thunder True Lord leading the team.

On the Spirit Boat, there were at least ten Golden Core cultivators and dozens of Foundation Establishment disciples. Li Zhirui wasnʼt sure whether they were brought along for training or for an inevitable death.

```

However, in Li Zhiruiʼs view, it should be the latter for the most part.

A perilous third-tier Secret Realm, once a Foundation Establishment cultivator is discovered, itʼs likely a death sentence, especially when carrying huge treasures.

”Weʼve just arrived a bit early, no harm done,” said Cloud Thunder True Lord, glancing at the people behind him with a flash of surprise in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Li Zhirui smiled and then said, ”Since everyone has now arrived, itʼs time to get started.”

”What you say makes sense,” Cloud Thunder True Lord further inquired, ”But, do we just go in like this? The strength of the Taixu Devil Race might not be too strong, but itʼs not something we can resist.”

”If you have any strategies, just speak them directly.”

”First, we need some time to restore mana and adjust our condition, then we need to reach the vicinity of the Secret Realm at the fastest speed. At that point, we can use this as a threat to the other party and gain successful entry into the Secret Realm.”

The methods discussed earlier were indeed a bit rough and hasty.

Li Zhirui nodded in agreement and said, ”Your considerations are very thorough, thank you for your hard work.”

Soon, everyone had gradually restored their condition.

”Letʼs move out!”

Under Li Zhirui and Yun Leiʼs leadership, the group charged forth like thunder, unstoppable, with no Devil Beasts able to hinder them.

”Damn it! These human race cultivators timed it well, knowing that the Secret Realm would open in a few days, so theyʼre now coming to stir up trouble!” A third-tier Devil Beast roared angrily.

Since the movements of Li Zhirui and the others were not concealed, the higher-ups of the Devil Race were quickly made aware of this news.

The other cultivators were still manageable, but Li Zhirui and Yun Lei, the two Nascent Soul True Lords, indeed caused some panic among the Devil Beasts.

”Hmph! I think these cultivators just want to take this opportunity to step into the Secret Realm and snatch a share of the spoils!”

A certain third-tier Devil Beast growled with indignation, ”So, we absolutely cannot retreat. If we all join forces, we can surely drive the cultivators out of Great Void Province!”

The Taixu Devil Race in Great Void Province also had fourth-tier Devil Beasts, with two of them being similarly reclusive, and one particular Great Devil whose lifespan was nearing its end, drastically weakening in strength.

In fact, in the ranks of the Taixu Devil Race, there were not merely two fourth-tier Great Devils; many who had broken through had left this barren place to become a Demon King in the Great Snow Mountain!

”Hehe! You speak sense, but battling leads to death. I wonder if youʼre prepared to make that sacrifice.”

Of course, the main point was, if a battle were to break out, relying on the strength of Li Zhirui and Yun Lei, the two Nascent Soul True Lords, it was uncertain how many days the battle could be prolonged.

If they were to miss the timing of the Secret Realmʼs opening, it would mean waiting another hundred years!

”Whatʼs more important is that now Shen Leishan has allied with the Li family, who knows if theyʼve joined hands with the Profound Ice Sect?”

If the three Nascent Soul forces united, then the Devil Race would have no other choice but to yield and allow the cultivators to enter the Secret Realm.

”Then what do you suggest we do? Are we really going to agree to let the cultivators enter the Secret Realm?”
