Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1369: Chapter 1153: Silence_2

Not long ago, in a battle, Xiaoqing and Cang were also severely injured, barely clinging to life, and the hope for full recovery seemed a distant dream.

If it weren’t for Li Zhirui’s timely intervention afterward to stabilize their injuries and prevent them from worsening, it wouldn’t even be a question of them breaking through to the Immortal Realm; preserving their original cultivation would be doubtful.

”Sigh! Except for Mu and Shen, none of them are worry-free.” Li Zhirui couldn’t help but say after assessing Xiaoqing and Cang’s condition.

He certainly understood their sense of shame and urgency.

The former stems from the increasing strength of the Li family, yet they lag behind, unable to contribute much, hence their shame; the latter is due to younger members like Yue and Li who are catching up and have surpassed them in cultivation.

But cultivation, realm, it’s not something that can be improved just because one wishes to!

Thinking about these, Li Zhirui sighed again; he couldn’t help much either and could only hope Da Qing, Xiaoqing, and Cang remain safe.

And just as Li Zhirui was concerned about the three, Da Qing, who was the first to be injured and was recovering at Mount Wanxian, faced his most critical, important trial!

In a daze, Da Qing seemed to return to the time when he was just at the second tier, helping Li Zhirui.

Back then, their cultivation was low, their strength weak, but they protected each other, which brought them to today.

However, this time, Da Qing made a change, choosing not the Bedrock Wood Law known for defense, but the Withering and Flourishing Law with strong offensive power.

Then, as they mutually supported each other, the contracted spirit beasts grew in number, and Da Qing repeatedly faced life-and-death situations with Li Zhirui.

But ultimately, he successfully broke through to the Individual Immortal Realm, becoming the guardian deity of the Li family, continually striving forward, and with everyone’s efforts, defeated the Sea Clan army, seizing a vast sea area for the family.

’No! Wrong! My life shouldn’t be like this.’

Lost in a beautiful dream, Da Qing suddenly gained a bit of insight, realizing that to change the current status, he must reflect and make changes.

Da Qing abruptly altered his path, beginning to learn and delve into defense Divine Powers and methods.

As time passed, his mastery of Defense Divine Ability became so advanced that beings of the same realm couldn’t do anything to him,

Boom!

The title ”Unbreakable Fortress Da Qing” spread over a hundred thousand miles, but he achieved this title tied to a life-or-death battle.

Exerting all his strength to deploy Defense Divine Ability against the Water Devils ahead, but unfortunately, Da Qing initially walked the wrong path, with foundational issues, how could a constructed building stand firm?

At this crucial moment, Da Qing suddenly awoke from chaos, slowly opening his eyes.

His round eyes gleamed brilliantly, his entire disposition changed, becoming more reserved and weighty.

But most importantly, the Individual Immortal Realm, which Da Qing sought for many years without success, was finally attained!

And this was Da Qing’s reward, vaguely sensed after breaking through the illusionary realm.

Da Qing understood the current situation facing the family, aware that there were no attacks on Mount Wanxian, and with Li Mingyao holding down the fort, even if he broke through, there would be someone to aid in protection.

Moreover, in this situation, an additional Individual Immortal means an extra strength for the family, and an increased chance to defeat the Sea Clan.

So, after retreating for a few days to adjust, Da Qing actively summoned the Thunder Tribulation.

In no time, dark clouds gathered over Mount Wanxian, the dense tribulation clouds brewing terrifying tribulation thunder.

Rumble!

The first tribulation thunder struck Da Qing with a mighty force, but his strong physique didn’t even require intervention to withstand it.

The tribulation thunder continued relentlessly, giving Da Qing no time to breathe, seemingly intending to end him.

Yet Da Qing’s strength and robust body allowed him to pass through all the tribulation thunders quite smoothly.

The Heart Demon couldn’t tempt Da Qing anymore; after all, he just experienced a substantial battle of the Mental State, his Dao Heart was perfectly round and flawless, so the Heart Demon vanished into a wisp of black smoke without finding any gaps.

Thus, Da Qing successfully overcame the Thunder Tribulation, achieving the honor of Individual Immortal!

At the same time, Da Qing also cultivated the ”Earth Spirit Tao Record,” and he was the main force in refining the cultivation technique, so with his breakthrough, his Cave Heaven became more turbulent.

Unfortunately, the Five Viscera Gods nurtured by Da Qing hadn’t reached Mahayana, so even after Da Qing exchanged many Five Elements Spiritual Items, the upgraded Minor Thousand World was still far less compared to Li Zhirui’s.

This also led the clansmen to pay more attention to the mysterious technique of cultivating the Five Viscera Gods.

After Da Qing’s breakthrough, he didn’t linger at Mount Wanxian but flew directly toward the location of the island chain.

Soon, he saw a chain of islands stretched across the sea surface.

This was the current base of the Li family in the sea region.

”Da Qing!”

”Jiu!”

Li Zhirui was very pleased; he had been worrying about Da Qing’s situation earlier, but now it seemed there was no need to.

”Why have you come so quickly?”

He had only recently learned that Da Qing had awoken and successfully broken through to Individual Immortal; he initially thought Da Qing would rest for a few days at the family base, but he arrived so quickly.

”With Mingyao in the family, there’s no fear of any threat. I thought I should come over to help,” Da Qing explained.

”Hahaha, currently, there are several forces fighting in front of the base, so there’s no immediate worry for the family’s safety.”

——

Time flew, and over a month passed swiftly.

During this period, the Sea Clan launched several minor attacks, but they were eliminated on the battlefield through the cooperation of the forces without even reaching the Li family.

As time went on, the cultivators’ control over the sea region became more stable, and some forces even began transporting younger generations from their home to develop Spirit Islands.

”Ancestor Rui, should we also engage in developing the sea region?” A certain elder, reading the news in his hand, asked with some anticipation.

”Don’t hasten; the war isn’t over yet. If danger arises, we can’t leave with them, so it’s better not to bring the clansmen from the start.”

Everyone just heard the first part of Li Zhirui’s statement.

”The war should be nearing its end, right? After all, the Sea Clan hasn’t shown up for so long, suggesting they don’t have the courage to appear again.”

Li Zhirui shook his head at these words, saying with a serious expression: ”We can’t underestimate them just because the Sea Clan was defeated!”

”Moreover, hasn’t the Sea Clan organized a large-scale counterattack for so long? Is it because they can’t? With their vast numbers, how could they easily give up like this?”

Now they must be unwilling, lurking like a poison snake, ready to strike at any time.”

Everyone fell silent, contemplating deeply, realizing Li Zhirui was right; the Sea Clan’s inactivity was not abandonment but waiting for the opportune moment.

”Then what is the Sea Clan waiting for?” A curious elder asked.

Li Zhirui shook his head; they were situated in a remote corner, and the news reached them too slowly, so he couldn’t provide any assumptions.

”Fortunately, the family’s location is more protected; there are many forces in front of us. Once the Sea Clan truly attacks, the initiative will be in our hands,” Jiang Fengwu insightfully remarked.

”Yes, so now is not the time to relax our vigilance; everyone should hold out a bit longer, as the Sea Clan might soon become restless.”

”Yes!”

As this conversation occurred among the Li family members, the long-dormant Sea Clan mobilized again.

An overwhelming number of Water Devils surged, at least in the millions, with hundreds of Individual Immortal Water Devils among them.

This showcased the tremendous power of the Sea Clan.

Their target was clear: to eliminate the leading Immortal Dao forces, without resolving which, it wouldn’t count as securing the near-sea area
