Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1363: Chapter 1150: Stationed_2

But before it could finish speaking, Li Zhirui’s attack appeared before it, forcing Chang Chuan to focus solely on defense.

At the same time, Yue, Yang, and other Spirit Beasts also found their targets.

A new round of battle erupted instantly!

”A mere mid-stage Individual Immortal cultivator, where did you get the courage to attack me? Truly reckless.” Chang Chuan easily shattered this probing attack and mocked disdainfully.

”I hope you’ll still be speaking like this in a while.” Li Zhirui smiled slightly, not taking its words to heart.

Anyone who underestimated or belittled him would eventually regret it!

Li Zhirui’s hands danced rapidly, casting various spells quickly, blue Spirit Light surged wildly, and in an instant, a vast ocean appeared at his feet. Giant waves, tsunamis, and violent winds continuously unfolded like natural disasters, roaring towards Chang Chuan.

Chang Chuan’s face changed slightly. With just this move, it knew its previous thoughts were utterly wrong! Although the opponent’s cultivation was much lower than its own, the difference in strength wasn’t significant.

”You are only a mid-stage Individual Immortal, how can you possibly be this strong?”

”Such ignorance.”

”Hmph! You’ve only used some Secret Techniques, do you really think you’re that powerful?”

Chang Chuan transformed into its strongest form, a giant serpent over a hundred zhang long, as thick as a barrel, with blue-black scales. Its tail slammed down fiercely, attempting to crush the attack.

It succeeded in its objective, but many scales were turned, oozing threads of fresh blood, looking quite miserable.

Chang Chuan’s heart trembled, and a trace of horror appeared in its eyes. It was very confident in the strength of its fleshly body, but the opponent’s attack actually managed to injure it directly!

This level of power was definitely not something an ordinary Individual Immortal could possess!

Immediately, Chang Chuan put away its contemptuous heart, not daring to underestimate Li Zhirui again.

But even so, Li Zhirui’s strength once more exceeded its expectations.

Hundreds of giant logs suddenly descended from the sky like meteors, crashing down with immense destructive force. Chang Chuan failed to dodge once again and was battered until its skin was torn open and flesh exposed.

This made it more cautious, going all-out with every move.

Yet, even with that, it was no match for Li Zhirui. Under his relentless advance, Chang Chuan’s injuries became quite severe.

Bang!

A cyan thunderbolt struck down, and Chang Chuan, like a severed kite, was slammed directly into the sea, exploding into a huge splash.

Before it could regain its composure, Li Zhirui’s attack came again!

One by one, thick vines descended from mid-air, entwining around it. Chang Chuan naturally wouldn’t give up easily, frantically twisting its body, trying to break free of the bondage. But the vines wound tighter and tighter, slowly pulling Chang Chuan out.

And the giant logs, which had originally disappeared, reappeared once more. Together with countless vines, they quickly wove into a large cage, trapping Chang Chuan inside.

In that instant, Chang Chuan fell into despair, simultaneously feeling a wave of regret.

In the confrontation with Li Zhirui, it could clearly sense how vast the gap in strength between them was!

This was something it had never imagined before—a mid-stage Individual Immortal cultivator utterly overpowering it.

And had it not been so arrogant and prideful at the beginning of the confrontation, it might not have quickly fallen into such a dire situation.

”Do you submit?!”

”If you are willing to submit, you can keep your life!”

Li Zhirui’s voice, like Heavenly Thunder, boomed, continuously shocking Chang Chuan’s now fragile mind.

At the same time, his hands were casting profound spells, transforming into a faint Spirit Light, quickly flying to the center of Chang Chuan’s brow and slowly merging inside.

This was a Beast Control Divine Power recorded in the ”Wanling Sutra”, used for capturing high-level Devil Beasts and then raising them itself.

”No! I absolutely will not concede!”

Just when only twenty percent of the Spirit Light was left, enough to fully control it, Chang Chuan suddenly broke free from control, instantly awakening, and the glow at its brow was shattered.

”Didn’t expect you to regain consciousness.”

Li Zhirui, for the result, was somewhat surprised.

Although he rarely used this Divine Power, under those circumstances, that Chang Chuan could still awaken and break free of control showed it had some skill indeed.

”Heh! At least.. cough, I have cultivated to late-stage Individual Immortal.”

”Unfortunately, you are only late-stage Individual Immortal, no match for me, and you can’t escape now. Why not just surrender quietly?” Li Zhirui advised.

He could save some time and Mana, and also found Chang Chuan’s strength decent; subduing it afterwards would make it an excellent Guardian Mountain/Protector Spirit Beast.

”Even if I die, I will never surrender!”

”If that’s how it is, then prepare to die.”

Li Zhirui shook his head. Since he couldn’t persuade it, he didn’t waste words, opting to directly attack.

Seeing this, Chang Chuan couldn’t help but be stunned. Wasn’t surrender supposed to be advised several times before one reluctantly agreed? Why wasn’t this person following the routine?

”Wait, wait! I concede, I submit!”

A trace of a smile flashed in Li Zhirui’s eyes, but he wore a serious expression, saying, ”Submit a wisp of your Spiritual Soul and refine this Jade Token.”

The Jade Token was a Beast Taming Magical Treasure the family had been researching for years, specifically prepared for controlling those subdued Devil Beasts.

After all, for clan members cultivating the ”Wanling Sutra,” their Contracted Spirit Beasts could be fully trusted, with a level of mutual trust even higher than with family or friends!

Chang Chuan felt a wave of suffocation in its heart, wanting to renege and continue resisting.

However, feeling Li Zhirui’s cold gaze, it instantly calmed down, grinded its teeth, tore a wisp of Spiritual Soul, and refined the Jade Token.

”Welcome to the Li family of Mount Wanxian!” Li Zhirui smiled slightly as he spoke.

With three Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts guarding the clan grounds, the island chain defense line being built seemed just right for Chang Chuan to guard.

Since it had been in this sea region previously, it must have quite the understanding and could help the Li family better fend off the Sea Clan, adding significant force.

After subduing Chang Chuan, Li Zhirui could lend a hand to help others.

Some Water Devils who originally had the upper hand would find themselves no match upon his joining. If they hadn’t retreated decisively, they might have lost several lives.

After the battle on Li Zhirui’s side ended, over on Jiang Fengwu’s side, the island chain construction and Formation placement were nearing completion.

An hour later, it was entirely finished!

The Li family reestablished a base in the sea region, and though it wasn’t certain if it could be held, it was at least a very good start.

During the process, many Water Devils attempted to sabotage, but they were all repelled, even resulting in a late-stage Individual Immortal Water Devil losing its life.

And after that incident, the frequency of Water Devil incursions greatly decreased.

With the base established, it was not yet time to rest; various facilities needed constructing on the island, and the Water Devils behind the island chain needed clearing to prevent future encirclement.

Fortunately, because they were close to the coast, these Water Devils weren’t particularly powerful, just numerous—just right for handing over to those Individual Immortals and affiliated cultivators, offering them a bit of sweetness.

Slaughter ensued, blood permeated, and numerous low-level Water Devils perished in large numbers.

”I wonder how the other forces are faring and making progress.” Li Zhirui muttered to himself, gazing at the southern sea.

”Once Fellow Daoist Feng Buxi and the others return, we’ll know the answer.”

”Hmm, they should be back soon.”

About two hours later, a breeze lingered outside the island chain’s Formation, revealing members of the Wind Breath Clan one by one.

”Thank you all for your hard work!”

Li Zhirui stepped forward immediately, offering some consolations, and then asked the question he was eager to know.

”We went as far south as the Cave Abyss Sect, where there were both victories and losses, and on our way back, the Cave Abyss Sect had yet to reach a conclusion, so we left Feng Buming nearby to come back with the outcome immediately.”

Feng Buxi quickly recounted the key points and then handed a Jade Slip with detailed records to Li Zhirui.
