Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1045: Chapter 991: Rebellion_2

The Spirit Plants planted within the three major Dantians are similar to the previous experimental cultivators, with the greatest change being in the Spirit Plant in the middle Dantian, which has turned a deep blue color according to the Mana attributes of the Water Devil.

However, the Spirit Plant planted at the Hundred Meetings Point performed beyond Li Zhirui’s expectations, growing much better than the other three plants.

But similarly, it also has drawbacks.

Namely, the Water Devil needs to spend a large amount of time everyday practicing Cultivation Techniques or being in a Cultivation state to provide the energy needed for the growth of the Spirit Plant.

With this drawback, if no improvement method can be found, even if the Spirit Plant grows well, Li Zhirui would not choose this solution.

As such, it would be impossible to do other things!

Completely bound by the Cultivation Technique, like a puppet!

As for a solution, Li Zhirui couldn’t think of any effective method at the moment and had to abandon this plan.

In the following period, Li Zhirui focused his attention on three other Water Devils, feeding them a large amount of precious Pills to rapidly improve their Cultivation.

Time flies in the mountains, unknowing of the years as the cold ends!

Quickly, several more years passed.

Without considering the cost or the physical condition of the Water Devils, their Cultivation had recovered to the Divine Transformation Completion Stage, and only half a step more was needed to return to the Void Refinement Cultivation.

”Da Qing, be alert and do not miss any changes!” Li Zhirui said mysteriously.

He had a feeling that the ’Qiao Acupoint World’ method of Da Qing could perfectly integrate with the ”Earth Spirit Tao Record”!

If nothing went wrong, these three sixth-stage Water Devils could successfully restore their Void Refinement Cultivation, not only upgrading the blessed land to Cave Heaven but also causing even greater changes!

After the three Water Devils refined the last Precious Pill, a majestic and pure Spiritual Energy was quickly transformed into Mana within their bodies, pushing them to take the last half step!

Boom Boom—

The moment their Cultivation recovered to the Void Refinement Realm, a silent thunderous roar erupted in the acupoints, as if heaven and earth had first opened, and the Cave Heaven had completely fused with the acupoints. The Spirit Plants became pillars holding up the sky, preventing it from closing.

Li Zhirui and Da Qing’s faces were filled with astonishment; they hadn’t expected such a big change to occur!

Moreover, during the process of opening the Qiao Acupoint World, their Divine Sense was pushed out by an invisible force, so they did not see the complete process.

But just the initial scene alone was enough to cause immense surprise!

”Hahaha! I feel so powerful, just having recovered to Void Refinement Cultivation, my strength is even greater than during the Mid Nascent Soul stage!”

Suddenly, a boastful laugh echoed through the cave.

One of the Water Devils, with a dangerous gleam in its eyes, stared at Li Zhirui and fiercely said, ”All these years, you’ve made us suffer greatly. Today, we will make you repay it a hundredfold!”

”That’s right!”

Another chimed in: ”I never thought that among cultivators, there existed such powerful Cultivation Techniques and that they matched us so well. By solving you and taking the Cultivation Techniques back to our clan, we could rapidly strengthen our group.”

The last Water Devil, although silent, its eyes filled with greed and resentment, showed its thoughts were no different from the previous two Spirit Beasts.

Faced with these three menacing Water Devils, Li Zhirui did not feel panicked but instead smiled and said, ”There are quite a few people who know about this Cultivation Technique. Even if you deal with me, you cannot monopolize it!”

He secretly tried to activate the restrictions he had placed within their bodies but suddenly discovered that the restrictions had bizarrely disappeared!

No wonder they had the courage to rebel; it turns out that the massive Mana had destroyed the restrictions at the moment their Cultivation was restored.

The reason Li Zhirui was unaware was probably related to the strange pushing force of the acupoints, which made him somewhat distracted at that time, causing him not to notice the destruction of the restrictions.

”Hmph! We will discuss this matter ourselves. It’s not your turn to sow discord!” The Water Devils aren’t fools; how could they not see through such a simple scheme?

”Enough talk! The pain you inflicted on me, today I’ll definitely make you repay it manyfold!”

Speaking of which, the Water Devil rushed up, and under the enhancement of the Cave Heaven, its strength was comparable to that of the Late Stage Refinement Void, with terrifying energy fluctuations like tidal waves continually attacking to engulf Li Zhirui.

The other two Water Devils did not stand by idly; they both launched attacks, aiming to put Li Zhirui to death!

”Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Li Zhirui laughed out loud, looking at the three Water Devils with a face full of mockery, and said, ”Who gave you the courage to lay hands on me! Did you think you were the only ones who cultivated this technique?”

Boom!

Li Zhirui’s aura exploded surpassingly beyond the three devils; despite only being at the Mid Nascent Soul stage, he exuded the daunting strength of someone at the Integration stage.

”How is this possible! This can’t be!” The Water Devil facing Li Zhirui shouted in disbelief.

Before they acted, they had considered the fact that Li Zhirui had also cultivated this technique, as they were once captured alive by him, naturally leaving some impression of his strength.

Yet they still chose to act, firstly because after their cultivation had recovered and greatly increased, they thought it plausible to escape with the three of them working together; secondly, this might be their last chance for survival!

As the saying goes, ”When the rabbit dies, the hound is cooked; when the birds are done, the bow is put away.”

The Water Devils might not know these proverbs, but the underlying truth was clear to them! They knew they were no longer of any use, so naturally, the cultivator would not spare their lives.

But unexpectedly, their plan to escape failed right from the start!

Li Zhirui’s strength far exceeded their expectations, powerful enough to instill fear in them.

”To prevent you from being dishonest again, I’ve decided to make you completely honest!”

As his words fell, Li Zhirui’s attacks poured down like a violent storm, leaving them like small boats in raging waves, constantly at risk of destruction.

Originally, he had intended to spare their lives.

It wasn’t about acknowledging their hard work but rather to continue experimenting to see if new issues could be discovered or, alternatively, as a reference to provide more experience for his fellow clansmen to consult in the future.

But since they tried to escape, they could not blame Li Zhirui for being ruthless.

”Please, spare my life, I am willing to be a beast of burden, to do whatever you command without any hesitation!”

In the face of death, what is the worth of so-called dignity or backbone?

”You’ve realized too late.” Li Zhirui shook his head, he would never forgive traitors!

Because if there is a first time, there will be a second!

Especially for Water Devils like these, who endured what others could not, they must not be spared. They are the most dangerous, like snakes lurking in the dark, very patient, waiting for the opportunity to strike lethally!

”You won’t let me off, I won’t let you go either!” Seeing that pleading was futile, the Water Devil irresolutely lashed out, trying to grasp at a sliver of survival chance.

However, in front of Li Zhirui, it stood no chance of surviving.

After much effort, he dealt with all three sixth-order Water Devils, collected all the useful Spiritual Objects from their bodies, and planned to throw the remaining flesh into the space as fertilizer.

”Jiu! Wait!”

Da Qing suddenly called out, saying, ”The Spirit Plants that were planted in their Qiao Acupoints haven’t completely withered and the Qiao Acupoints have taken on the spatial properties of the Spirit Plants. They can be used to craft spatial-type Magical Treasures!”

These were discoveries he made from those experimental cultivators.

The strong vitality of the Spirit Plants allows them to preserve some life even after the cultivator’s demise and continue to grow!

And this characteristic of the Qiao Acupoints, too, was a serendipitous surprise Da Qing found during one research process.

He originally wanted to explore why Qiao Acupoints and Cave Heavens could integrate perfectly but discovered instead that Qiao Acupoints contain a considerable amount of Space Power!
