Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 794 - 800: Development

Jiang Fengwu spent some time determining the position and, with Li Zhiruiʼs help, quickly managed to set up the Ascension Void Array.

”Is it really impossible for Nascent Soul cultivators to go to The Void?” asked Jiang Fengwu curiously, thinking that if she could train in The Void, she would definitely break through to Divine Transformation faster.

”The pulling force of the Great Array is extremely strong, and the physical bodies of Nascent Soul cultivators canʼt withstand it. Body cultivators have the physical strength for it, but upon arriving in The Void, they would be surrounded by Chaotic Spiritual Energy and subject to invasion at any time. Not to mention the possibility of Chaotic Storms and Chaotic Maelstrom disasters; Nascent Soul cultivators simply canʼt endure it.”

Seeing her envious expression, Li Zhirui said, ”Just focus on your cultivation; someday youʼll be able to go.”

Li Zhirui actually had a way to take someone to The Void, by using space to transport them and then utilizing his Life-bound Magic Treasure, Thousand Spirits, to protect them from the invasion of Chaotic Spiritual Energy.

But that was the limit; he couldnʼt support their actions in The Void. After all, his own strength was limited, and he couldnʼt even ensure his own safety, let alone protect others.

Moreover, space was Li Zhiruiʼs biggest secret, and aside from the four Contracted Spirit Beasts with whom he shared a life-and-death bond, he had no intention of telling anyone else.

”Youʼre right, I will work hard on my cultivation!”

Jiang Fengwu looked at the Ascension Void Array and asked, ”Arenʼt you planning to try it? According to what you said before, even though youʼve been in The Void for many years, you havenʼt actually entered The Void.”

”Going to The Void to train with my current strength is still too dangerous. Iʼll wait a bit longer,” at least until he had mastered more of the Purification Principle.

”As long as you have a plan, then Iʼll go back to cultivate.”

”Let me escort you.”

Jiang Fengwu nodded and walked ahead in silence, the cave dwelling wasnʼt far away, just a few steps to reach it.

”You should go back, too.”

”Then Iʼll take my leave first.”

Watching Li Zhiruiʼs figure fading into the distance, Jiang Fengwu let out a soft sigh. The gap between them was growing larger and larger; added to their infrequent meetings, gradually they had less and less to talk about.

Now even though they were both on Wanxian Island, they were living in separate places and hardly saw each other.

Li Zhirui, however, wasnʼt thinking so much. He was wholly focused on cultivating in the Spirit Realm, enhancing his own strength.

Even though his progress was slight each day, he was still excited, for Li Zhirui knew the journey to Divinity Transformation Realm required patience.

It was unclear whether it was due to Li Zhiruiʼs return, but Wanxian Province became a haven of tranquility and no further blatant attacks on Immortal City or Marketplaces occurred.

The Loose Cultivators who had previously left gradually returned, after all, several areas inside Wanxian Province were rich in cultivation resources.

Like the Henglian Mountains which the Li family had forged, abundant with low-level Devil Beasts and lower-tier Spiritual Objects.

If that wasnʼt enough and one was willing to take risks for more valuable Spiritual Objects, one could go to the Green Mountain Range and Great Snow Mountain!

Not to mention that to the east of Wanxian Province lay the resource-rich Boundless Sea, an unexplored treasure land.

Moreover, to ensure that Loose Cultivators stayed, the Li family offered favorably priced Spiritual Objects, allowing them to acquire items of the same quality for fewer Spirit Stones.

Before Li Zhiruiʼs breakthrough to Divine Transformation, the Li family did not dare to do this, having offended too many individuals—they could only tap around the edges.

But now that they had Li Zhirui, a being of Divine Transformation, the Li family had confidence, and with only the Green Sea Sect as another Divine Transformation entity nearby, and having had no direct contact with them, they saw no need for excessive caution.

As for the Southern Edge Commerce Association and Xuanfa Pavilion, as long as they are assured enough profits, they can turn a blind eye to other matters.

The Spirit Pills and Magic Artifacts, among other Spiritual Objects produced by the Li family now, are fully capable of satisfying both parties.

Not to mention the top-tier treasure pills of the fourth rank that Li Zhirui occasionally brings out; although not fifth rank, they can already serve as the finale at large auctions.

With the concerted efforts of all the clan members, the Li familyʼs development is on a thriving and prosperous trajectory!

The number of children born with a Spiritual Root each year is increasing more and more, and although there has not been another Heavenly Spiritual Root like Li Mingyao, several geniuses with dual spiritual roots have appeared.

The familyʼs future is very promising, and the present is not bad either!

The number of Golden Core clan members has nearly reached a hundred, and breaking into the triple digits is just a matter of time; not to mention those in Qi Cultivation and at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators have increased by two over the years!

One is the familyʼs only Heavenly Spiritual Root, Li Mingyao, who after a decade and a half of seclusion, successfully opened the gates to the Nascent Soul, and he is also the fastest Nascent Soul cultivator in the Li family so far, having reached this stage several years earlier than Li Zhirui did back in the day.

The other is Li Chenghuo, who had taken a risk by entering a life-or-death seclusion!

His age was actually not young anymore and if he failed to break through to the Nascent Soul, as he got older and his body began to age, the likelihood of breakthrough would become increasingly slim.

Fortunately, in the last dozen years or so, he smashed through the obstacles on his path of seeking the Dao and successfully joined the ranks of the Nascent Soul!

Leveraging the breakthroughs of these two individuals, Li Zhirui also tested the Tribulation Thunder Vine he had recently cultivated, and found that although the results were still not ideal, it was at least slightly better than the initial Thunder Vine in terms of mana consumption.

This caused Li Zhirui to shift the direction of cultivation; he originally planned to have the Thunder Vine crossbreed with Broken Gold Starvine to become more durable.

But now he found that perhaps if the mana consumption of nurturing the Thunder Vine could be reduced, it would be easier to achieve.

Li Chenghuoʼs breakthrough also inspired his contemporaries among the Golden Core clan members, igniting a strong confidence in their hearts. Some who were planning to give up also began to follow his example of entering life-or-death seclusion, trying to gamble with their own lives!

Unfortunately, perhaps they did not have the same luck as Li Chenghuo; after decades of cultivation in seclusion and with their bodies starting to age, they saw no hope of breakthrough and eventually had to give up.

With the last decades of their lives, they did what they could for the family, which could be considered repayment for the familyʼs nurturing over the years.

However, these are all matters for later.

One day, Jiang Fengwu, Li Chengsheng, and Li Chengshuo, mother and sons, all sought out Li Zhirui at the same time.

”Do you have something important to talk about? You all came together,” Li Zhirui asked with a smile, but he had already guessed the reason in his heart.

”Father, we are planning to go out for some experience for a while.”

Li Chengshuo spoke up, ”Over the years on Wanxian Island, our mana has grown rapidly, but we havenʼt been able to break through. Perhaps itʼs because of insufficient tempering or lacking in the mental state.”

And these problems cannot be solved simply by constant seclusion.

”I see, when do you plan to go out? And where to?” Having been through such things himself, Li Zhirui would naturally not hinder them.

Jiang Fengwu thought for a moment, then shook her head, ”Weʼll leave in a few days. As for the rest, letʼs leave it to fate.”

”Then how are your preparations? Do you still lack anything?” Li Zhirui asked.
