Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 793 - 799: Awakening

Compared to others, Da Qing and Xiaoqing were the closest to achieving Divine Transformation!

Especially Xiaoqing. While Da Qing was hindered by the limitations of his bloodlineʼs rank, Xiaoqing faced no such trouble, as he had already reached fifth-order as a Spirit Beast. As long as he accumulated enough, he could attempt to draw in Thunder Tribulation and strike at Divine Transformation.

Even Da Qing and Xiaoqing reacted in this manner, let alone those clan members with lower cultivation levels, who found the sensation unbearable to the point of being unable to breathe, forcing them to retreat further back.

For the first time, everyone witnessed just how terrifying Nascent Soul Cultivators could be.

Crack—

Fully focused, Li Zhirui heard a faint, crisp cracking sound beside his ear and immediately crushed the Precious Pill in his mouth. Streams of pure Spiritual Energy flowed through his meridians into his Dantian, transforming into Mana, which he then promptly mobilized.

Mana poured out like a flood, filling the small black hole and continually expanding its area.

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui also gathered all the surrounding Purification Laws with all his strength, trying to further increase the proportion of Purification Principle within the Spirit Realm.

It was only when Li Zhirui realized his Mana was about to be completely depleted that he threw the prepared Dust Cleansing Green Willow into the much-expanded space.

His fingers flew swiftly, and the Spirit Light that appeared at his fingertips, like butterflies flitting through flowers, dazzled onlookers. With spell after spell cast, the Dust Cleansing Green Willow stood in the center of the space, its roots growing rapidly until it broke through the space and connected to the Spirit Cave, stabilizing the Spirit Realm.

”Phew!”

Having done all this, Li Zhirui forcefully exhaled a breath of foul air, feeling weak and powerless, nearly falling from midair.

”Jiu, are you alright?” Xiaoqing, the quickest, flashed over and caught Li Zhirui, asking worriedly.

”Iʼm fine, just drained from excessive Mana consumption,” Li Zhirui responded weakly.

Da Qing, Li Chengsheng, and others hurriedly gathered around, expressing their concern in a cacophony of voices.

”Had I known it would be like this, it would have been better to use a Formation to create the Spirit Realm.”

Faced with Jiang Fengwuʼs complaints, Li Zhirui no longer had the strength to retort.

He was just drained, so not long after returning to his cave dwelling, Li Zhirui managed to recover a bit of Mana and stand on his own without support from anyone.

”I wonder just how vast this Spirit Realm is.”

The newly established Spirit Realm was still dividing heaven and earth out of the primordial chaos, requiring time before anyone could enter.

”I wonder if this Spirit Plant will share the same fate as the Five Elements Jade Peach, able to advance into a Spiritual Root.”

Everyone was filled with curiosity about this new Spirit Realm.

Li Zhirui did not join their discussions, focusing instead on restoring his Mana. He deeply disliked the feeling of being as powerless as a mortal, drained of Mana.

The stronger the cultivators, the less they could accept such a drastic drop in power! It was a stark lack of security.

The clan members on the island were also engaged in fervent discussion, some filled with admiration for Li Zhirui, others curious about the Spirit Realm.

While the Li family had already possessed a Spirit Realm, its peculiar method of establishment had broken the convention that only those who had undergone Divine Transformation could create one; thus, it had been kept a secret, known to only a small number of high-ranking clan members and those with better aptitudes.

And the grievances about the interrogation outcome of the group of cultivators who conspired against the clan were quickly overshadowed and eventually dropped from conversation.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than three months had passed.

Li Mingzi, who had been sending people daily to check on the Spirit Realm, suddenly brought news that the Spirit Realm had completely taken shape.

”You were quite fast,” Li Zhirui had thought it would take at least half a year.

He then stood up and went outside. Finding Jiang Fengwu and the others were cultivating, he did not disturb them and flew alone to the Cloud Pool.

Once again, the area around the Cloud Pool was crowded with clan members, all waiting outside the Spirit Realm, stretching their necks in hopes of glimpsing the scene inside through the light screen.

”If youʼre all curious, why not follow me in and take a look?”

Li Zhirui said with a smile, ”However, the Spirit Realm is limited in size, and cannot accommodate too many clan members at once, so youʼll need to go in batches.”

”Thank you, Ancestor Rui!” everyone shouted in unison, visibly excited.

But once they entered, they realized that reality was nothing like what they had imagined!

They had thought that the Spirit Realm would be brimming with Spiritual Energy, that exotic flowers and rare herbs would be everywhere, resembling a paradisiacal land.

In reality, the Spirit Realm was only thirty miles square; the ground was bare, with only a few green shoots, nothing like the exotic flora they had expected.

The only thing that dazzled the eye was the tall green willow in the center of the Spirit Realm, its ten thousand green threads immaculate, its luminous green glow visible even to the naked eye.

However, a trace of disappointment flitted across Li Zhiruiʼs eyes because the Dust Cleansing Green Willow had not become a Spiritual Root. Though it looked more exceptional than before, it remained a fourth-order Spirit Plant.

Still, the Spirit Realm was rich in Purification Principle, which somewhat made up for the disappointment.

After all the clan members had finished their tour, Li Zhirui sealed the entrance and exit of the Spirit Realm and began to arrange it.

He sprinkled a variety of prepared Purification Spiritual Objects across the empty land, most of which were low-order and did not require much attention.

The most planted among these was the Cloud Mist Grass.

Once the Cloud Mist Grass matured, Li Zhirui planned to transfer a batch of Cloud Fish here to breed within the Spirit Realm, thus expanding the population.

His careful observations had revealed that the Cloud Pool was rich in Purification Principle precisely because of the presence of these Cloud Fish!

All of Li Zhiruiʼs efforts were aimed at enhancing the Purification Principle within the Spirit Realm.

However, over time, the Spirit Realm might become less suitable for other Spiritual Objects but increasingly ideal for Li Zhiruiʼs own cultivation!

——

Seasons changed, and in the blink of an eye, several years passed.

”Truly worthy of a fifth-order Formation!” Jiang Fengwu was filled with emotion and a little demoralized; it had taken her several years, and she had only grasped a fraction of it.

”Iʼd better honestly set up the Ascension Void Array with the Array Plate and Array Flags, and wait until Iʼve broken through to Nascent Soul before attempting to understand it further.” Despite her reluctance, Jiang Fengwu hadnʼt chosen to persist stubbornly; she stopped in a timely manner and decided not to waste any more time on this.

After tidying up, she went to find Li Zhirui in the Purification Spirit Realm.

”Zhirui, where do you think is the best place to set up the Ascension Void Array?”

After thinking for a while, Li Zhirui replied, ”Letʼs set it up on the other side of the mountain peak. I remember that place is not a Spirit Cave, but the Spiritual Energy is quite rich. When we activate the Formation, it will use fewer Spirit Stones. Moreover, being at the mountainʼs summit, itʼs closer to the Void.”

”So, youʼre giving up on trying to understand it further?”

Jiang Fengwu sighed softly, nodded, and said, ”Youʼre right. Without sufficient cultivation, itʼs just a waste of time to force understanding.”

”Itʼs not too late to realize that now,” Li Zhirui didnʼt harp on the issue but immediately changed the subject, ”Come on, letʼs go set the Formation.”
