Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1250: Chapter 1094: Shocking

”Has the family truly had a sudden appearance of an Individual Immortal Realm ancestor? Judging by Spirit Ancestor Qingpeng’s form of address, she seems to be from the same generation as Ancestor Rui?”

Because Li Zhixuan attacked the Mountain Protection Array, many members of the family rushed out and naturally witnessed her interaction with Xiaoqing.

”This is simply unbelievable!” Many onlookers remained in shock and disbelief.

”Where did this ancestor come from? Even if she joined a sect, it’s hard to imagine that she wouldn’t return to the family for over a millennium, and the family didn’t even know of her existence.”

”Indeed. I just noticed the expressions of the Clan Leader and the Elders earlier. When they heard Spirit Ancestor Qingpeng address her, their faces revealed a trace of astonishment. Clearly, they also didn’t know there was such an ancestor.”

The clan members discussed fervently, deeply curious about Li Zhixuan’s background.

If it weren’t for Xiaoqing’s acknowledgment, they wouldn’t have believed Li Zhixuan’s identity at all. Even now, some remained skeptical.

”Clan Leader, did you know the family has such an ancestor?” Amid the commotion below, an Elder quietly asked with curiosity.

Li Taichang stood in place, furrowing his brow in thought for a long while before quickly pulling out the family Jade Tome and flipping through it from the beginning. Soon enough, he found the name ”Li Zhixuan” under the ones with ”Zhi” as their prefix, along with her life descriptions.

”Li Zhixuan, Four Spiritual Roots, skilled in Sword Dao, taken in by a certain Sword Dao Sect...”

He skimmed through the sparse introduction and directly jumped to the last entry.

Li Taichang was shocked to discover there were no words such as ”fallen” or ”entered nirvana,” which symbolize death.

”The family truly does have such an ancestor!” Li Taichang muttered to himself, his tone full of disbelief.

This family Jade Tome is a relatively special Magical Treasure, lacking attack or defensive capabilities, but capable of recording information for all family members.

Its most critical ability lies in binding to the family-made Life Tokens. When a Life Token shatters, the Jade Tome automatically updates with death-related terminology and provides an accurate description depending on the cause.

The issue, however, is that since the Li family’s founding, the tome had been recording entries non-stop, and there were countless names listed within. As a busy Clan Leader, Li Taichang hardly has the time to peruse through all of it.

”Clan Leader, can you tell us more about this ancestor? It’d help us understand her better.” A curious clan member shouted.

Li Taichang shook his head. He wasn’t about to share such information.

Meanwhile, Xiaoqing led Li Zhixuan to call forth Da Qing, Cang, and other Integration Realm cultivators. Only those who had removed their Knocking Bells didn’t appear.

”You are... Li Zhixuan?!”

”Ancestor Xuan?!”

Among these people, only Da Qing, Cang, and Li Xianxun had seen Li Zhixuan before; the others didn’t recognize her.

Yet everyone present felt astonished.

Those familiar with her were shocked at her sudden appearance in the Primal Spirit Realm and her successful reunion with the family. Those unfamiliar were stunned by her Individual Immortal Realm cultivation and the fatal, oppressive aura she exuded.

”It’s a long story, so I won’t go into details. Back then, while breaking through Void Refinement, I didn’t choose the Great Thousand World but stayed in the Middle Thousand Worlds for over a millennium. After successfully undergoing Tribulation Transcendence and Ascension, I spent another ten years. By chance, I heard the names Shuo, Sheng, and Jiu, and that’s how I found the family.”

Li Zhixuan did not speak of her hardships and dangers over the years. She was not someone who liked to complain, and the reason she was speaking so freely now was simply the joy of reuniting with old acquaintances.

”You really are remarkable! No wonder Jiu was so optimistic about you back then.” Da Qing remarked with emotion.

”Indeed, you broke through to Individual Immortal in the mere span of a millennium in the Middle Thousand Worlds, whereas we, despite cultivating in the vastly superior Great Thousand Worlds, have only reached the Integration Realm.” Cang sighed with a hint of regret.

Still, he understood in his heart that Li Zhixuan’s achievements must have come at a significant cost, including countless brushes with death during her journey.

Her survival owed itself to both her immense strength and a touch of fortune.

”If Jiu sees you, he’ll surely be delighted! But he’s currently secluded in cultivation and has removed his Knocking Bell. We wouldn’t dare to forcibly interrupt him.” Xiaoqing spoke with excitement. ”With an Individual Immortal like you to guide Jiu’s cultivation, he’ll most certainly break through to the Individual Immortal Realm faster!”

Not only that, they too could benefit from her guidance!

Having an Individual Immortal instruct them meant their struggles and questions in cultivation might finally find resolutions.

At one point, Li Zhirui had promised to spare time for their inquiries, but for unknown reasons, he entered seclusion again, leaving everyone to continue fumbling and discussing amidst themselves.

Li Zhixuan paused briefly at Xiaoqing’s words before responding, ”As I cultivate the Sword Dao of Slaughter, it may not be suitable for guiding you.”

The path she pursued was far too extreme; any influence might disrupt their own progress.

”It’s no problem. Cultivation begins with cultivating the heart. We can also temper our Dao Hearts through the Sword Dao of Slaughter.”

”Too dangerous!”

Li Zhixuan shook her head and said, ”I’ve only recently crossed into the Immortal Realm and cannot yet fully grasp the Life-slaying Laws. Perhaps it’s better to wait.”

”By the way, earlier I heard that Sheng and Shuo have become the Sun and Taiyin Star Gods. What’s that all about?”
