Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 844: Chapter 850: Reversal

Just when everyone thought Xiaoqing’s Tribulation Transcendence was bound to fail, the situation suddenly took a huge turn.

The Thunder Tribulation that was originally dissipating transformed into pure Spiritual Energy, pouring into Xiaoqing’s body.

At this moment, Xiaoqing, although he had successfully transcended the Thunder Tribulation and broken through to the Fifth-order, was like an utterly parched wasteland. This influx of Spiritual Energy was like lifesaving rain, pulling Xiaoqing back from the brink of death.

”That was close!”

Da Qing let out a heavy sigh of turbid breath. Although Xiaoqing was severely injured now, he was at least still alive!

As long as he was alive, there was hope! No matter how severe the injury, there would come a day of recovery. Moreover, that immense, pure mana stabilized Xiaoqing’s internal injuries, preventing them from worsening or damaging his core.

Once the last wisp of Spiritual Energy dispersed, Da Qing flew to the still unconscious Xiaoqing, lifted him up with his mana, and brought him inside the Cave Mansion.

”You all go about your business.”

With those words, Da Qing entered the Cave Mansion, intending to help Xiaoqing heal using mana.

The birth of two Divine Transformation cultivators, particularly the rebirth of Xiaoqing from a desperate situation, sparked round after round of intense discussions among the clan members.

At the same time, the Li family spread the news of the two Divine Transformations as quickly as possible, making most cultivators aware of it in the shortest time.

This was an excellent opportunity to showcase the strength of the Li family. How could Li Mingzi let it slip by?

Previously ravaged vassal forces and Loose Cultivators, upon hearing the news, did not react much.

Because the cultivators who could remain in Wanxian Province now were mostly honest people. Even if there were some with ulterior motives, they had to restrain themselves in the face of absolute power and dared not show their true colors.

However, when the news reached the Green Sea Sect in the south, it caused a tremendous shock.

The Wanxian Island’s Li family, which they had not taken seriously, had unknowingly grown into a formidable entity in no time.

Some Nascent Soul Elders privately felt relieved that they had not agreed to attack the Li family earlier. Otherwise, having harbored enmity, the Li family, with their increased strength, would definitely seek retaliation.

Of course, minor skirmishes could not shake the foundation of the Green Sea Sect, but battles involved death!

Who knew if they would be sent to the battlefield once a major war began?

Though they appeared as Nascent Soul Elders in charge of various affairs, within a Divine Transformation Sect, they were not the highest authorities but were indeed the best fighters.

In the current situation, with neither side having a significant advantage over the other, a real battle would only result in mutual destruction.

With such concerns, a major conflict was unlikely to erupt easily; at most, there would be minor clashes, which would not involve them.

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui, who was in the midst of cultivating, knew the instant he received the feedback of mana from Xiaoqing’s breakthrough that Xiaoqing had achieved the Fifth-order.

However, Li Zhirui was currently refining precious Purifying Primordial Qi, so he focused his mind and returned to his cultivation.

A few days later, as soon as Li Zhirui ended his cultivation, he hurriedly left the Spirit Realm, then noticed several Sound Transmission Talismans stuck on the door.

After activating them one by one, Li Zhirui learned that so much had happened in the family during his cultivation days; Jiang Fengwu and Xiaoqing had undergone their Tribulations in quick succession, the former having safely and smoothly transcended the Thunder Tribulation, while the latter was severely injured and had only just awakened from a coma.

Knowing the current conditions of the two, Li Zhirui, of course, first went to visit the injured Xiaoqing.

At that time, Da Qing was still in the Cave Mansion helping with the healing. Li Zhirui’s gaze swept over and immediately focused on Xiaoqing.

”Fortunately, the injuries aren’t too severe, and they haven’t damaged the core. A few years of rest should lead to recovery.”

Once Da Qing finished healing and stood up, the two promptly moved Xiaoqing into the Purification Laws for treatment and recovery.

”Jiu, the intensity of the Thunder Tribulation is increasing,” Da Qing said worriedly after settling Xiaoqing. ”Given the current situation, in another two or three hundred years, the number of cultivators who can transcend the Thunder Tribulation will likely be very few.”

Most importantly, this will greatly increase the difficulty of transcending the Tribulation. In the future, if the Li family wants to produce another Divine Transformation, the difficulty will be many times what it is now.

And although the Golden Core and Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulations have not changed yet, what about in the future?

Also, will there be any mishap during the Ascension Tribulation?

Li Zhirui’s mood was also very heavy. He really wanted to explore the underlying reasons, perhaps to find a solution.

But the problem was, where could the Li family find such information?

”Perhaps we can ask Xuanfa Pavilion and the Green Sea Sect,” Li Zhirui murmured.

As for the Southern Edge Commerce Association, their headquarters are far in the Southern Domain, and only a Nascent Soul Cultivator is stationed here. They probably don’t even know about the changes in Thunder Tribulation, so Li Zhirui didn’t hold out much hope.

However, when heading south to the Green Sea Sect, it wouldn’t hurt to stop by the Southern Edge Commerce first.

Da Qing nodded, but he was not very optimistic about this idea.

The relationship between the Li family and both Xuanfa Pavilion and the Green Sea Sect had not developed to a level where they would share such sensitive information.

Didn’t Li Zhirui know that?

However, Wanxian Province was just too remote, located in the Extreme Eastern Corner, very far from the central region of cultivation, where true powers existed. The foundational strength of the Li family was also weak.

The only options available for consultation were these two or three forces.

”I will visit Fengwu, and then set off to visit these major powers.”

Jiang Fengwu was currently in closed-door cultivation to consolidate her realm. Her tribulation process had been smooth, so she was in good condition.

She would probably come out in about a year and a half. Unlike Xiaoqing, who might need several years just to leave the Spirit Realm.

Although Jiang Fengwu was doing well, he hadn’t been able to protect her, and after seeing Xiaoqing, it just wouldn’t be right not to check on her.

”Dad!”

Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, brother and sister, took turns guarding outside the Cave Mansion, wanting to know as soon as Jiang Fengwu came out.

”Will the Divine Transformation Thunder Tribulation really become more terrifying in the future?” Today, it was Li Chengshuo’s turn.

”I don’t know, maybe these last few times were just accidents,” Li Zhirui shook his head.

But he didn’t even believe his own words.

Once or twice might be coincidences, but this had happened three or four times!

It couldn’t possibly be that all four Divine Transformations of the Li family were burdened with immense karmic force, which increased the severity of their tribulations?

Perhaps Li Zhirui and some others might carry considerable karmic force, but Da Qing couldn’t.

Because he rarely engaged in combat and killed living beings, he was mostly defensive.

Clearly, Li Chengshuo didn’t believe this reasoning, staring blankly ahead with unseeing eyes.

”Even if the Thunder Tribulation intensifies, as long as one’s strength is formidable enough, why fear not being able to transcend the Tribulation?” Li Zhirui said with deep concern.

Li Chengshuo’s body shook, his eyes relit with determination, he declared, ”You’re right! No matter what, as long as I am strong, I will fear nothing!”

Seeing her mentality recover, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but smile slightly and said, ”Fengwu will need some more time before coming out, and I have other matters, so I will head off first.”
