Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1079: Chapter 1008: The Five Viscera_2

If it were Zhirui himself or another Cultivator of his main family, the conditions for improvement and power enhancement would certainly change, and it’s very likely there would be an even more significant increment in effect.

After receiving the answer, Zhirui did not end the experiment right away; he intended to observe more and review it several times.

At this moment, those few surviving Robbing Cultivators had the same thought in their hearts: It was time! They had struggled to live for several years, and that was enough.

But what use was there in feeling unwilling?

The disparity in strength was clear; they were a group of Divine Transformation Cultivators, and now without their original cultivation restored, it was impossible to escape from the perilous depths underground.

With such thoughts in mind, they managed to live for several more months.

Only when Zhirui was completely certain there were no drawbacks to the Five Viscera Method did he terminate the experiment.

”You have played a huge positive role in my future path, but because you know too much, please set forth on your final journey!”

Because this experiment made a significant contribution to Zhirui’s breakthrough to the Immortal Realm in the future, he decided to give them a dignified end by letting them finish their own lives.

Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, it was as if they saw a beam of light descending from the sky, but in the next instant, their deaths were pronounced.

”If there truly is reincarnation, I hope in your next life you are born into a top-tier power, rather than as a Loose Cultivator.”

One of the Cultivators cried out and sacrificed his Life-bound Magic Treasure to pierce his own heart, immediately falling silent.

While some were willing to embrace death, others did not wish to and wanted to continue living.

To this, Zhirui showed no mercy or compassion and decisively severed their heads.

After triple checking all were dead, Zhirui scattered a sachet of Corpse Dissolution Powder, destroying their physical bodies and adding a few more skeletons to the deep underground.

Having spent years, Zhirui got an excellent result and joyfully returned to the Li family, starting his Cultivation anew.

With the family developing steadily and no threats from the outside world, after learning some family matters, he returned to his quiet chamber to commence another solitary retreat.

What Zhirui was most proficient in were the Water and Wood Elements, and he didn’t need any Spiritual Objects to assist him; he simply planted a small light sphere in his liver and kidneys.

Then, based on the Five Phases generating cycle, he first extracted the Fire Attribute ’Spirit Seed’ from a sixth-order Spiritual Object and subsequently Earth and Metal Attributes, which he implanted into the heart, spleen, and lungs respectively.

After placing the Five Elements ’Spirit Seeds’ into the five viscera, the next step was to quickly grow them into the Five Viscera Gods.

Zhirui didn’t choose to strengthen all five elements at once, as the difficulty was too high, so he started with the Water and Wood Elements he was most familiar with and strongest in.

After growing these two elements, it was then the turn of Fire, Earth, and Metal, and then back to Water, creating a cycle of the Five Phases.

Upon completion, there was no need for Zhirui to operate his Methods constantly—he could absorb Spiritual Energy from the heaven and earth and strengthen the Spirit Seeds.

Of course, the downside of this approach was quite apparent—it was inefficient and nowhere near as effective as active cultivation.

”After many years of re-cultivation during my retreat, today I’m finally fully recovered,” Da Qing said feelingly after exhaling a breath of turbid air.

He could clearly feel his strength had greatly increased, his Mana had grown as well, and considering the boost from Cave Heaven, Da Qing felt his power should be enough to defeat a Mid Nascent Soul stage Cultivator.

And this was just the beginning. As Da Qing’s cultivation progressed and his Cave Heaven expanded, his strength would grow even stronger.

”The ’Earth Spirit Tao Record’ is incredibly powerful,” Da Qing remarked, feeling the immense power within him, his eyes sparkling; he was eager to engage in a fierce battle with a Lianxu Cultivator to validate his true strength.

With this thought, Da Qing sought Zhirui for a sparring match, but since he was in retreat and couldn’t fulfill this wish, Da Qing turned to Xiaoqing instead.

”Do you need something from me?”

”I have successfully changed my cultivation and wish to validate my strength through battle, having a clear understanding in case I face any dangers in the future,” Da Qing explained.

Xiaoqing immediately understood and nodded, ”Then let’s have a duel; I also want to see how strong you’ve become after your re-cultivation.”

The sparring match between Da Qing and Xiaoqing quickly spread through the entire Li family like a whirlwind, and every family member who heard about it came to watch.

For many clan members, they may never witness a Nascent Soul grand battle in their lifetime, but now that they finally had the chance, they naturally couldn’t miss it.

So when the day came for the two to spar, the area around the venue was packed with clan members.

”Please forgive me for the offense I’m about to commit!”

After exchanging courtesies, Xiaoqing launched the first attack.

Although it was just a spar, Da Qing wanted to validate his strength, and Xiaoqing did not hold back deliberately. A powerful storm swept through the surroundings, with wind blades constantly flying out, each blade extremely sharp, something that ordinary cultivators dared not approach.

However, in front of Da Qing, the intensity of these wind blade attacks was negligible. He could easily block the wind blades with his Divine Power without suffering the slightest harm.

Seeing this, Xiaoqing couldn’t help but frown. Was it possible that one’s strength could improve so much just by changing the cultivation technique?

If that was really the case, then there was no need to consider anything else; he could just choose to change his cultivation technique right away.

Of course, the focus now was still on this spar with Da Qing.

Xiaoqing kept attacking relentlessly. Except for his trump cards and some Divine Powers that were too wide-ranging and too powerful, he had already used up all his other moves!

But even so, he was completely unable to break through Da Qing’s defense! He posed no threat to his safety at all.

”I concede,”

Xiaoqing conceded very straightforwardly and then asked: ”How much mana do you have left?”

”About thirty to forty percent of mana,”

Hearing this, Xiaoqing was momentarily astonished. The remaining mana was too much; his own mana was nearly depleted!

Lack of sufficient mana was also one of the main reasons why he conceded.

Da Qing had barely achieved his goal, but he wasn’t very content with this spar against Xiaoqing, as he didn’t display his true strength.

For instance, he hadn’t utilized the blessings of his Cave Heaven!

Of course, it was just a spar, and it was not appropriate to bring the mindset of fighting to the death against an enemy.

’It seems I still need to find an opportunity to test out the true extent of my strength,’ Da Qing contemplated silently, with an answer already in mind.

That place would be Wanling Island above the East Sea!

It might be difficult to find opponents to fight against in Shanyuan State, but at sea, there are plenty of Sixth Order Sea Clan members for Da Qing to hone his skills against.

So, after the spar, Da Qing informed his family and then flew to Wanling Island.

After sparring with Da Qing, Xiaoqing’s previously indecisive thoughts finally settled.

He too decided to change his cultivation technique!

Otherwise, as time went by, the gap between Xiaoqing and the others would only grow larger, which was something he couldn’t tolerate.

During the time he was in hesitation, Xiaoqing became very familiar with the ”Earth Spirit Tao Record”, and he was even ready to change his cultivation technique right away!

However, doing so would be too risky without Healing Pills to recover, as his recovery speed would be very slow, and it could even pose serious risks.

Thus, Xiaoqing could only wait until Li Zhirui finished his seclusion, and use the Healing Pills he refined before proceeding with the next step.

——

”I’ve finally cultivated the Five Viscera Gods!”

One day, Li Zhirui suddenly opened his eyes excitedly.

By introspecting with his Divine Sense, he could see a somewhat ethereal and unreal figure in each of his viscera, with even the facial features blurry and indistinct.

At this point, it could only be considered a minor accomplishment!

Li Zhirui was not in a rush; he had ample time to perfect them.
