Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1323: Chapter 1130: Breach_2

Ah—

Mo Qiu, who had higher cultivation, could barely resist, but Lan Mu lacked such strength, especially since he was targeted by Li Zhirui.

After all, between the two devils, the weaker Lan Mu was easier to slay!

So, being heavily targeted, it was unknown how many times he’d been injured, though not yet completely covered in wounds, he was bloodied all over, and his breath was weakening.

In less than an hour, Lan Mu would fall here!

Li Zhirui and the two devils were fully aware of this.

Therefore, to survive, Lan Mu could only go all out at any cost for life, even if it damages his foundation.

After all, if one were dead, even the most perfect foundation would be useless.

Thus, Lan Mu began to exhaust his own mana, a self-harm method that could unleash powerful strength in a short time for survival.

Only at the true point of life and death would a creature resort to this.

Unfortunately, even if Lan Mu fought with all his life, he still was not a match for Li Zhirui!

And this was with Mo Qiu helping from the sidelines.

”Heaven forsakes me!”

Lan Mu was slammed onto the ice surface by a giant tree, the countless sharp blades directly pierced into his body, and the rolling hot blood flowed out, actually melting the ice surface.

Mo Qiu, witnessing all this, remained silent, filled with grief, but more so terrified, fearing he would end up the same.

But he didn’t know that at this moment, Li Zhirui couldn’t possibly capture him anymore.

So to avoid following in Lan Mu’s footsteps, he solemnly took out a shell and fiercely hurled it at the cage that trapped them.

Boom—

A deafening explosion sounded, countless thunderbolts erupted, quickly spreading, and the initial strong destructive force had already blasted open a hole in the cage.

Charred around the breach, with thunder clinging to it, as if wanting to expand the breach.

But as long as there was a loophole, it was enough for Mo Qiu, since he could finally escape this dangerous place.

As for the remaining three water devils, dead or alive, they had nothing to do with him, especially since he had used his Human Immortal Rank Kui Water Yin Thunder Pearl for their path to survival.

Yet, when Mo Qiu took out the shell, Li Zhirui’s heart raced uncontrollably, his spirit sense violently warning him to stay away from this object. This seemingly ordinary shell hid a terrifying power that could kill him!

If he hadn’t seen Mo Qiu throw this object to the other side, Li Zhirui would have retreated into space to take refuge.

He escaped through the breach, flying desperately toward the East Sea; once there, he would be safe.

Li Zhirui didn’t pursue him, because there was no need to; he might as well focus on finding an opportunity to eliminate the remaining three water devils.

But who would’ve thought, that the three devils, witnessing Li Zhirui’s overwhelming strength, would actually surrender, willing to be slaves, servants, or even Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts, just to preserve their lives, asking for nothing else!

However, it was normal, for in the Devil Race, the Sea Clan, it was always the strong who were respected.

Yet such actions were mostly internal; surrendering like the three Individual Immortal water devils to Li Zhirui was exceedingly rare.

Jiang Fengwu and Feng Buming couldn’t help but stop to see how Li Zhirui would decide.

”Since you are willing to affiliate, I naturally won’t turn you away. You need not be slaves or servants; if you wish, you can in future become Mount Wanxian’s Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts, how about it?”

Li Zhirui pondered for a moment and finally chose to agree.

Regardless of whether they surrendered out of survival, or had other thoughts, he didn’t care much; by then, the restrictions would be placed within their spiritual souls, merging into the family jade tome, Dharma seal, life and death between mere thoughts.

With their current subdued and cowardly nature, it’s unlikely they’d make any suicidal moves.

”Alright!”

The three water devils exchanged a pitiful glance, then wisely handed over a wisp of their spiritual souls, while opening their minds, allowing Li Zhirui to set restrictions within their spiritual souls.

”Fellow Daoist Feng, would you mind taking them to Mount Wanxian, and delivering this jade slip to the clan leader; he will know what to do.”

He still needed to stay here, guarding against another sea clan attack.

Li Zhirui also said: ”I must thank you both for your assistance in this battle. Once this matter is settled, you can decide to stay or leave freely.”

”Okay.” Feng Buming agreed.

”I won’t disturb further.” Feng Changqing then bid farewell and left.

...

Time swiftly passed, today marked the fifth day after taking in the three Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts.

In front of the two canyon cities, except for the countless removed dark red blood deeply embedded in the soil and rocks, nothing else showed evidence of the fierce battle that erupted here days ago.

These days were particularly calm, the Sea Clan seemed not intent on launching another attack, whether due to wars elsewhere, insufficient manpower, or focusing on capturing some waters, attacking fiercely, was unknown.

In any case, after this battle, a faint Evil Qi, killing intent emanated from within everyone.

Just as well, with no war now, they could cleanse themselves, not leaving behind hidden dangers, preventing future path obstruction.

”Jiu, it seems the Sea Clan won’t continue their assault.”

Li Zhixuan was quite disappointed; she hadn’t fought to her fill yet, and such a grand beast tide ended abruptly, anticlimactically.

”Hmm, just unaware of how the Sea Clan’s failure here affects other places, and if it would involve Shanhai State.”

The present Shanhai State had long expanded from the three thousand miles of mountains and rivers during the great catastrophe, east from the edge of the East Sea, west to the old lands of Dafeng, north reaching the Changli Mountain Range, and south to the ten thousand miles of plains, its area exceeding tens of thousands of square miles.

Of course, many territories to the west and south only nominally belonged to the Li family, without any Li family bases established locally.

Due to the distance, without Individual Immortal Realm family members to suppress, in case of any incident, immediate support would be impossible, resulting in using a policy of appeasement, awaiting when the family strength increased significantly, with enough Individual Immortals, before bringing all those territories under governance.

It was precisely because of the vastness that Li Zhirui expressed concern about other places possibly affecting the Li family.

”Jiu, after this battle, I want to train at the Immortal Demon Battlefield for a period.” Suddenly, Li Zhixuan brought up another matter.

”Hmm?”

Li Zhirui knew of her deep desire for the Immortal Demon Battlefield, yet...

”You just recently broke through, shouldn’t be in such haste.”

”The Killing Skill I practice does not greatly improve through closed-door meditation, comprehending the Heavenly Dao like ordinary Laws; killing is the best cultivation for me.”

Li Zhirui understood upon hearing this that Li Zhixuan’s determination was set, thus he no longer advised against, only warned: ”Be cautious in everything, without trustworthy allies in the battlefield, it’s better to act alone.”

”Rest assured, Jiu, this training trip is merely one or two hundred years.” Li Zhixuan smiled.

One or two hundred years, indeed very short for these Individual Immortals.

Because they could now be called ’longevity seekers.’

Of course, only limited Longevity.

Under Spirit Light transformation during the Immortal Ascension Tribulation, both their bodies and spiritual souls underwent metamorphosis, lifespan became indefinite.

The reason being said limited Longevity, is that each battle, absorption, mana consumption, etc., all actions either lightly or heavily harmed the physical body and spiritual soul.

To truly possess true Longevity, cultivation needs to continually ascend until reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm!

The physical body, spiritual soul both achieve perfection, harmonious without hindrance, wouldn’t suffer any damage, lifespan naturally wouldn’t diminish, thus achieving Longevity.

However, Li Zhirui and others, who had just broken through to Individual Immortal not many years ago, hadn’t yet fully developed the ’longevity seeker’ mindset.

But they gradually realized and began changing their actions.

Just as they chatted leisurely, the family suddenly brought news that the Cave Abyss Sect south of tens of thousands of miles, several Immortal Dao influences, were breached by the Sea Clan, waterways there entirely fell into the Sea Clan’s control.

And in a very short time, they connected all the waterways, widened several rivers to the sea.

Simultaneously dispatching numerous high-level Mortal Realm, Individual Immortal Realm water devils to reside!
