Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1335: Chapter 1136: Undercover_2

”Ancestor Rui, forgive my offense!”

Before he could finish speaking, he took the initiative, and massive boulders fell from the sky, relentlessly smashing down towards Li Zhirui.

Li Zhirui remained calm, his fingers rapidly moving, creating an ocean beneath his feet, which shot out numerous Water Arrows, shattering the boulders.

”You hold back, but I won’t show mercy.”

Li Zhirui clapped his hands, and several giant dragons flew out from the ocean, unleashing various Divine Powers, summoning winds and rain, calling forth thunder and lightning, recklessly pouring down on Li Mingyao.

Li Mingyao remained unflustered, mountains appeared around him layer upon layer, but upon closer inspection, a winding Earth Dragon could be seen below the thirty-six mountains, connecting them all. When attacking, it gathered the strength of the mountains, and when defending, it dispersed them among the mountains.

The attacks from Li Zhirui barely harmed him, not worth mentioning.

Seeing that his plan failed, Li Zhirui directly commanded the entire ocean, turning it into towering waves, aiming to engulf all the mountains.

Li Mingyao quickly reacted, merging the mountains, and in the blink of an eye, a massive mountain towering over a thousand zhang appeared, standing in front of the giant waves like a copper wall, unshakable.

”Not bad, not bad, your skills are much more agile now than before.”

Though he praised, the battle wouldn’t end because of it.

After all, if they didn’t act realistically, how would others believe the feud between this Earth God and the Li family?

Li Zhirui didn’t only rely on brute force; he had been secretly laying his plans. As the waves crashed, they carried numerous Spirit Seeds, which by now had rooted and germinated, continuously expanding their roots, waiting for the right moment.

Soon, the opportunity Li Zhirui was waiting for finally arrived!

Without any visible action, the gigantic peak blocking the flood suddenly split apart, reverting to its original form of thirty-six mountains.

Li Mingyao appeared flustered; he didn’t expect his carefully laid plans to be so fragile, and he didn’t even know how his Divine Power was broken.

But the thought of conceding was absolutely out of the question!

Moreover, he was provoked, holding nothing back, instantly unleashing his most powerful move.

Summon Mountain Spirit!

Mana surged from Li Mingyao, half infused into his Life-bound Magic Treasure, and the other half used to cast Divine Power. In the blink of an eye, a colossal mountain phantom appeared in midair, but it had only the shape and momentum of a mountain, lacking the essential body of the mountain.

However, at this moment, his Life-bound Magic Treasure came into play!

The two fused, and a ’real’ mountain towering ten thousand zhang appeared before him.

Even Li Zhirui felt a considerable pressure.

”Your method is impressive, but too slow. In a real fight, the opponent wouldn’t give you time to cast spells.”

With this advice, he began to fully defend against the attack.

Rumble——

The two powerful attacks collided, instantly erupting with terrifying force, sweeping in all directions like a breaking bamboo, even gouging out a foot of the ground.

”Cough!”

Li Mingyao suppressed his surging Qi-Blood, angrily shouting, ”Today, I’ll spare your lives for now, but there’ll be a hefty payoff in the future!”

Saying this, he tunneled into the earth.

As an Earth Dragon, his connection to the earth was extremely close, one could even say he was a creature born of the earth, and Earth Tunneling was as easy as breathing for him.

Therefore, Li Zhirui had no time to stop him, nor did he intend to.

”That strike just now...”

He stood in place, pondering for a long time, reflecting on the previous clash. With Li Mingyao’s current power, ordinary Individual Immortals could not compete with him.

Thus, Li Zhirui felt reassured.

Having formidable strength himself, coupled with the identity of an Earth God, there was no need to worry about Li Mingyao’s safety in the future.

And their battle, with such significant commotion, naturally caught the eyes of interested individuals, who quickly relayed the news back.

Within just two hours, the news reached the Hundred Rainbow Sect tens of thousand miles away.

”Earth God? An Earth God has emerged in Shanhai State?”

The Sect Leader was somewhat excited, saying, ”With this, we can avenge our clan members who perished at the hands of the Li family.”

Indeed, the Hundred Rainbow Sect already knew that the Li family had killed Xu Shenzhang and others, but they had been withholding their actions, waiting for the right opportunity to retaliate.

And now, it seemed that the opportunity had come!

As to how they knew, naturally, when Xu Shenzhang and others went out to train, fearing unexpected accidents or being trapped in ruins, they had left a Jade Slip in the Cave Mansion, specifying their whereabouts and purpose.

But whether the Hundred Rainbow Sect wanted to avenge them or was also coveting the supposedly nonexistent ruins they mentioned, outsiders could not know.

Meanwhile, to the south of Shanhai State, the Cave Abyss Sect quickly received news.

”Earth God? Earth Dragon? Has enmity with the Li family?”

The Sect Leader murmured to himself, ”A tool indeed, to check the Li family and prevent their further growth.”

In the eyes of the Cave Abyss Sect, this newly emerged Individual Immortal Earth God was just a tool.

The reason they didn’t personally suppress the Li family was firstly because, as the strongest force in the Immortal Tao, they had an obligation to protect the younger generation, allowing them to develop better.

Of course, this point had long been buried in old stacks of paper, and no force was willing to abide by it nowadays.

Secondly, if they stepped in personally, wouldn’t that tarnish their own reputation of heroic brilliance?

For forces at their level, reputation was sometimes more important.

Thirdly, having encountered several major catastrophes recently, the Cave Abyss Sect’s strength had been greatly diminished. Their main focus now was recovering their strength and consolidating their position, not wanting to divert their attention to such trivial matters.

Therefore, after some discussions, a cultivator quickly set off, intending to make a deal with the Earth God of Shanhai State.

...

When Li Zhirui returned to Mount Wanxian, he summoned Clan Leader Li Xinde, Jiang Fengwu, and other high-ranking members.

”Ancestor Rui, have you defeated that Earth God?” Li Xinde asked with great concern.

This Earth God, with a grudge against their family, residing in Shanhai State, was like a ticking time bomb; if they didn’t find a way to resolve it, who knew when it might bring disaster and trouble to their family.

”This is exactly what I want to talk about.”

Li Zhirui succinctly shared what Li Mingyao had said, immediately prompting gasps and astonishment from those present.

It’s no wonder that when they heard Li Mingyao was still alive, their first reaction wasn’t joy, because the experiences were indeed somewhat unbelievable, full of unexpected twists and turns.

If it weren’t coming from Li Zhirui’s mouth, they wouldn’t believe it at all.

”However, currently, Mingyao hasn’t crafted a Body Separation, so he can’t meet us yet.”

Li Zhirui reminded them, ”Also, do not disclose Li Mingyao’s identity to the public; he is now an Earth God with a grudge against our family!”

Those present were all smart people; upon hearing this, they immediately understood the purpose behind these words.

But unexpectedly, Li Mingyao soon received a request for a meeting from people of the Cave Abyss Sect.

Following the plan devised earlier, he warmly received the visitor, an Individual Immortal cultivator.

”I am Liu Caiming, greetings Honorable God!”

”Yes, what brings you to me?”

Liu Caiming didn’t mind his coldness and continued smiling, ”I’ve come to see the Honorable God to discuss a deal.”

”What kind of deal?”

”It is said that the Honorable God has old grievances with the Li family, and we are willing to provide some Spiritual Objects to help the Honorable God quickly enhance your cultivation and resolve your enemies soon.”

”What are your demands? Surely you wouldn’t just give me a large amount of Spiritual Objects for nothing?”

”We would like the Honorable God to ensure that the Li family doesn’t continue to develop smoothly.”

Li Mingyao inwardly scoffed, but for the sake of this new persona, he could only nod coldly, saying, ”That will depend on how many Spiritual Objects the Cave Abyss Sect is willing to offer.”
