Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1328: Chapter 1133: Taking Risks

Li Zhixuan left Mount Wanxian, departing decisively and swiftly, without any hesitation.

However, her departure did not cause a decrease in the strength of the Li family.

Firstly, Jiang Fengwu has reached the Individual Immortal Realm; if in the open field, her strength is far inferior to Li Zhixuan, but if relying on a pre-arranged place, then Li Zhixuan would not be her match.

Secondly, when the Sea Clan previously attacked Shanhai State, they were intimidated by the Li family’s three Individual Immortals’ strength; only one of the six Water Devils escaped, two were slain, and three were imprisoned and had to submit, adding three Individual Immortal Realm Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts to the family.

With them guarding Mount Wanxian, along with Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu, even if several times the number of Individual Immortals attacked with full force, there would be no worry of them breaking through within ten days or half a month.

Indeed! Neither of the two have plans to go out for training.

Jiang Fengwu, who has just recently broken through to the Individual Immortal Realm, is in no hurry to advance further, and with no bottleneck in sight, she can simply stay in the mountains for closed-door meditation.

Li Zhirui is the same.

Moreover, even though he hasn’t ventured out for many years, training was still frequent, as wars have come one after another over the years, with no less than twenty Individual Immortals falling at his hands.

Another point is that Mu is about to break through, and he needs to stay with the family to oversee it.

Among the five Spirit Beasts Li Zhirui has contracted, although Mu was born last and is the youngest, due to his exceptional talent, his cultivation speed is extremely fast.

During the recent great tribulation, Mu received considerable merit, which was entirely used to enhance his bloodline grade. Through continuous accumulation over the years, with his already top-grade ninth-order bloodline, he naturally made a leap to become a Pure-blooded Qilin!

With the bloodline breakthrough, Mu, possessing a Qilin Body, is completely unafraid of the Thunder Tribulation’s power.

So once his bloodline evolution is complete, with a brief adjustment, he will actively attract the Immortal Ascension Tribulation to achieve the Individual Immortal Realm.

Besides Shen, Da Qing, Xiaoqing, and Cang, if their bloodline advances and enhances their physical bodies, they too can follow Mu’s approach.

This is the advantage, but also the disadvantage of Devil Beasts and Spirit Beasts, as ascending the bloodline to the Immortal Grade is by no means an easy feat.

Mu was able to do it, firstly because he was naturally endowed with the Eighth-Order Wood Qilin bloodline, giving him a high starting point and saving much time needed to elevate his bloodline.

Secondly, perhaps it relates to the fact that the Qilin is an auspicious divine beast, so the accumulation of merit helped him take the final step.

As for why Shen cannot imitate him, it is because his true form is a Spirit Ginseng, naturally fearing thunder and fire, with a physical strength far inferior to the likes of Da Qing.

Two flowers blossom, each branch tells its story.

Seen was a female cultivator carrying the Mysterious Sword, dressed in black, flying swiftly. Though her appearance was ordinary, the cold and indifferent expression lent her a distinct aura.

This person was none other than Li Zhixuan, who left her homeland, intending to train at the Immortal Demon Battlefield!

After leaving Mount Wanxian, she sped westward, but occasionally paused along the journey.

And each time Li Zhixuan paused, local reports emerged of either demon beasts or demon cultivators’ corpses appearing.

The reason they perished under the Mysterious Sword was simply that they harmed the interests of the Li family, such as attacking family bases or marketplaces.

There was once an Eighth-Order Demon Beast, who, believing in its might, deliberately slaughtered creatures, hoping to lure Li Zhixuan over to then kill her.

It indeed succeeded, as Li Zhixuan quickly appeared before it.

But with just a single encounter, a flash of sword light passed by, and the demon beast was cut in half, without any chance to resist!

At that time, many creatures were secretly observing, and upon seeing this, their faces turned extremely pale. They employed various methods to conceal their presence, fearing Li Zhixuan might cut them down with her sword in the next instant.

Only after she had been gone for quite some time did they dare to flee.

Thus, whether demon cultivators, demon beasts, or loose cultivators looking to fish in troubled waters, they all sank in fear, hiding in the shadows, not daring to show their heads again.

Gradually, in the vast territory to the west of Shanhai State, tales began to spread of a black-clad woman wielding a Mysterious Sword, slaying demons and protecting the human race, with the stories enduring for a long time, even leading to altars being built in her honor in some areas.

As of now, Li Zhixuan remains unaware of all this.

After leaving the Li family’s territory, she still did not speed up, instead walking slowly.

This was because her intention in going out this time was not merely to fight on the battlefield, but also to broaden her knowledge and expand her horizons.

Thus, naturally, there was no rush to hurry on her journey.

Given this, it took Li Zhixuan twenty years to reach the second line of defense on the Immortal Demon Battlefield,

an extended city wall built relying on the natural terrain of mountains and rivers, stretching millions of miles.

Li Zhixuan gazed far into the distance, unable to see where it ended.

Standing below the city wall, the time-worn bricks and stones were engraved with Array Patterns, overlapping and interweaving, forming weighty formations like the Demon-Identifying Great Array, Sky-Restricting Great Formation, and Ten Thousand Thunder Array.

However, Li Zhixuan’s luck was not very good; the nearby Immortal Cities allowed entry but not exit.

Because the defense line was so long, even with the various means used by the sages of the Immortal Tao, it’s impossible to keep demon cultivators at bay outside the unending battle line spanning millions of miles.

They had to rely on the Mountain River City wall, establishing 365 Immortal Cities, with some small towns and marketplaces distributed in between.

Most Immortal Cities and marketplaces have no gates on the wall facing the West Continent! This is to make it difficult for demon cultivators to enter the cities.

Therefore, to step out of the wall and reach the battlefield, officially only a hundred of the Immortal Cities permit passage.

Li Zhixuan did not enter the city, because entering here would make it quite troublesome to get to the battlefield. In the city, flying is prohibited, so she would have to travel on foot, whereas flying outside would be much faster.
