Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 801 - 807: Maturity

Came in haste, left in haste.

Li Zhixuan only stayed with her family for one evening, and even did not make an appearance before her clansmen. Only Li Zhirui and a few other Spirit Beasts like Da Qing knew of her return.

”Who knows how many years it will be before we see each other again,” Li Zhirui murmured as he watched her departing figure, softly expressing his sentiment.

Having gone through numerous farewells, such emotions could no longer affect him for too long, and he quickly regained his composure.

”Letʼs head back.”

On the way back to the Spirit Realm, Li Zhirui suddenly said to Da Qing, ”The Luminous Green Fruit in the space is about to ripen, and soon weʼll know if it can help you breakthrough to the fifth rank.”

For Da Qing, the road to the Fifth Order was obstructed by his bloodline!

If this obstacle could be resolved, then Da Qingʼs breakthrough to the Fifth Order would naturally follow.

Hearing this, a hint of worry flashed in Da Qingʼs eyes. He feared the Luminous Green Fruit would fail to yield a Spirit Fruit of the fifth order, rendering many years of Li Zhiruiʼs efforts, time, and energy useless.

”Donʼt worry, apart from the Luminous Green Fruit, I still have a fifth-order Spiritual Object in my possession,” Li Zhirui said, sensing his anxiety and comforting him softly when Da Qing did not respond for a while.

This was something Li Zhirui had exchanged for in The Void as a backup plan. If it proved unnecessary, he planned to integrate it into his Life-bound Magic Treasure to enhance its power.

”Thank you, Jiu,” said Da Qing.

Li Zhirui responded with a smile, ”In the future, when heading to The Void, I will need your protection. This is also a request, so thereʼs nothing to thank me for.”

”Rest assured, when the time comes, I will definitely protect you with all my might, ensuring you come out unharmed!” Xiaoqing promised earnestly.

”Good!”

Soon, they arrived at the gate of the Spirit Realm, and the two parted ways.

Li Zhirui sat cross-legged under the green willows and activated the Memory Stone once again, watching the entire process of Tribulation Transcendence to study the might of the Thunder Tribulation.

He noted down any potential issues and placed himself in the shoes of the cultivators undergoing Tribulation, imagining how he could resolve them and successfully ascend.

Since last night, Li Zhirui had been continuously activating the Memory Stone, eager to extract all its value.

With such long and intense use, the Memory Stone was at the brink of collapse.

However, Li Zhirui had made preparations. He specifically obtained a new Memory Stone to avoid losing this opportunity.

After all, it had only been a short night. No matter how capable Li Zhirui was, it was impossible for him to fully digest the complete picture of Tribulation in such a brief period.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

After several days and nights of continuous observation and deduction, Li Zhirui had developed a relatively complete method and understanding of undergoing Tribulation.

But what use was this? Even Li Zhirui, the one with the highest cultivation, was far from Ascension, let alone the other family members.

Itʼs not to say that the things Li Zhixuan painstakingly brought had no other value. At least it was Li Zhiruiʼs research that unveiled these contents.

A territory within the Northern Domain.

The Northern Domain, in the hearts of many, is marked by perennial snow and howling winds, but in reality, it is not so. These descriptions are actually of places even further north.

The southern territories are quite conducive for ordinary humans to live in with their warm climate, and it was here, amid the crowd, that Li Chengshuo stood observing two lifeless bodies sprawled on the ground.

”Both of these were Golden Core cultivators. Looking at their bodies, there was hardly any struggle before their deaths. This means the creature that acted had immense strength, at the very least that of a Fourth Order Great Devil, who then quickly killed them,” Li Chengshuo secretly noted in his mind.

She had made up her mind to continue northward, hunting Devil Beasts to achieve the desired effect of her current training.

As for why she had to travel so far from Wanxian Island just to hunt Devil Beasts, the main reason was that the Devil Beasts of the Northern Domain had a slightly higher incidence of the Taiyin attribute!

After Li Chengshuoʼs breakthrough to the Nascent Soul, she gained an additional slot for a contracted beast; coupled with the one she didnʼt use during the Golden Core Realm, she now had two slots available.

Thus, her purpose for this trip was not only to collect more Taiyin resources but also to see if she could contract a suitable Taiyin Spirit Beast.

Having made her decision, Li Chengshuo quietly slipped away from the crowd and made her way north.

The farther north she traveled, the colder it became, with snowflakes beginning to float down even during the day, and white snow accumulating on the ground.

In such bitterly cold and desolate lands, no cultivators had come to establish sects, and there were not even any human race strongholds!

In this vast and white expanse of the world, there was only the figure of Li Chengshuo, giving one an incomparable sense of loneliness.

As spring gave way to autumn, the Luminous Green Fruit planted in the space suddenly ripened one day.

”Jiu, come quickly, a fifth-order Spirit Fruit has matured!” Upon sensing fluctuations in spiritual energy, Shen hurriedly informed Li Zhirui.

Hearing this, Li Zhirui instantly understood, knowing without a doubt that it was the Spiritual Medicine transplanted from the Secret Realm.

She didnʼt hesitate, notified Da Qing, and quickly entered the space.

When she personally saw the Spirit Fruit, she restrained her excitement and cautiously examined it to see if it met Da Qingʼs needs, but to her surprise, she found that this Luminous Green Fruit was different from the previous one!

”If I could point out a difference...”

Li Zhirui furrowed her brow and thought, saying, ”This Spirit Fruit is filled with a rich, singular Wood Spirit Energy, yet a true Luminous Green Fruit should also carry the suppleness of moonlight.”

”Could it be because of the space?”

The space was always bright, but it was neither The Sun nor the Taiyin. As for what exactly it was, even Li Zhirui, the master, didnʼt know.

Lacking the illumination of Taiyin, the Spirit Fruit did not have the Taiyin attribute.

However, this change was an excellent thing for Da Qing!

Because his evolution path followed the pure wood attribute, this Spirit Fruit perfectly satisfied Da Qingʼs needs!

Apart from this, there was another surprise that astounded Li Zhirui!

That was the Spiritual Objects that had nurtured the Spirit Fruit had not withered!

This meant that the seemingly non-Spirit Plant was actually a Spirit Plant that could only nurture one Spirit Fruit at a time.

With proper cultivation, in a few hundred years, Li Zhirui could have another fifth-order Spirit Fruit.

Of course, whether Li Zhirui would still need it by then was another matter.

After securing the Spirit Fruit, she left the space.

Just then, Da Qing arrived, saying, ”Da Qing, this is the Spirit Fruit grown in the space; take it and refine it.”

Thump thump thump—

Da Qing looked at the Jade Box floating in front of him, and even through the box, he could feel the pure and refined Wood Attribute Spiritual Energy, causing his heart to pound uncontrollably.

The path to fifth rank was before him, and the gate to fifth-order opened a sliver to welcome him.
