Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1381: Chapter 1159: Cleanup (A few hundred characters left)_2

Rumble——

After more than an hour had passed, the first bolt of Tribulation Thunder finally descended from the sky.

Such a prolonged time left the many cultivators observing from a distance in astonishment. It was known that the longer the Thunder Tribulation brewed, it either meant this person was despised by heaven and earth, stained with excessive Karmic Force; or it signified that this person was extraordinarily gifted and powerful, warranting a more challenging trial from the Heavenly Dao.

The crowd couldn’t help but feel a tinge of curiosity about the person undergoing the Tribulation Transcendence, wondering which category they fell into.

Yet, the scene that unfolded next utterly shocked all the cultivators, leaving them unable to regain their composure for a long time.

”This... how is this possible! How did he do it?”

Numerous cultivators stared blankly ahead, murmuring.

It was because after the first bolt of Tribulation Thunder descended, the cultivator did not weaken or defend against it but instead devoured the Tribulation Thunder!

They had seen some physically robust Body Cultivators or Spirit Beasts withstand the Tribulation Thunder with their bodies to temper their physique but had never witnessed someone actually devour the Tribulation Thunder!

’Is it him?!’

Li Zhixuan’s eyes pierced through the miles of space and landed directly on the person undergoing the Tribulation Transcendence. Shock filled her heart, yet if it was indeed him, it seemed not entirely impossible.

After all, this was a supreme genius who, with Individual Immortal Realm cultivation, had successfully slain a Realm of Human Immortality Demon Cultivator!

’Has he also made a breakthrough? And directly to the Realm of Human Immortality.’

Li Zhixuan couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy, but she quickly quashed it, focusing her attention on observing this rare Human Immortal Thunder Tribulation.

The Tribulation Thunder raged in mid-air, roaring towards Meng Zihong, but it posed little threat to him.

However, as the power of the Tribulation Thunder grew stronger, he could not directly devour and refine it. But after weakening it, the Tribulation Thunder was still swallowed into his stomach, becoming nourishment on his cultivation path.

When the last bolt of Tribulation Thunder was devoured by Meng Zihong, the Heart Demon, which should have appeared immediately, did not show up.

Though such situations were rare, they weren’t unheard of, typically occurring with those mighty enough or naturally resistant to Heart Demons.

After all, Heart Demons are incarnations of the Outer Heaven Demon, intelligent creatures sensing danger and unwilling to invest a doomed avatar, weakening their strength.

But since Heart Demons are an essential part of the Tribulation Transcendence and their foundation of existence, when no Heart Demon volunteered to face the tribulation, the Heavenly Dao promptly selected an Outer Heaven Demon to serve as Meng Zihong’s challenge.

As for the outcome, no surprises occurred, and the Heart Demon was swiftly dealt with by Meng Zihong.

The dense tribulation clouds transformed into a massive influx of pure Spiritual Energy, frantically pouring into his body, and Meng Zihong’s stagnant cultivation quickly surged until it slowed when he broke through to the Realm of Human Immortality.

Boom!

A powerful, terrifying pressure erupted from Meng Zihong, making the surrounding space seem almost frozen, giving everyone a sense of difficulty in breathing.

”Is this truly a strength one can possess right after breaking through to the Realm of Human Immortality?” A stunned Individual Immortal muttered in awe.

Li Zhixuan gave Meng Zihong a deep look and then turned to walk out of the city.

Since the Thunder Tribulation had dispersed and her purpose of observation was fulfilled, naturally, there was no reason to remain.

The journey was uneventful, without any incidents, leading smoothly to the Daqian Dynasty.

After years of development, the Daqian Dynasty had become quite powerful, occupying an area no less than several hundred thousand square miles. The surrounding Immortal Dao Influence either relocated, avoiding conflict, or were destroyed, or joined the dynasty, becoming its subordinates.

For this reason, Li Zhixuan’s presence in the Daqian Dynasty as a cultivator was not as conspicuous as before.

However, the Daqian Dynasty had very strict household registration management, especially for outsiders like Li Zhixuan, who was a cultivator, making the surveillance even stricter, as if always being watched.

This time, Li Zhixuan came to the Daqian Dynasty intending to temper her Dao Heart amid the mortal world, naturally not wanting to court trouble, finding a peaceful way to achieve her goals.

The reason for choosing the Daqian Dynasty over other regions was because, compared to other places, the gatherings of mortals created a more abundant atmosphere of red dust and mortal flames.

Li Zhixuan decided to disguise herself as an orphan to temper her heart in the red dust, naturally requiring her to immerse herself in it, rather than remaining isolated behind a veil.

As a cultivator, even a slight mistake during cultivation could entail great danger.

Thus, Li Zhixuan intended to temper her Dao Heart through the mortal world for a long period without any interest in involving herself in unrelated matters.

The days passed smoothly, with time flowing swiftly.

Perhaps after the various battles, the Li family yearned for peace and tranquility, causing the clansmen near Mount Wanxian to slacken without external threats.

Indeed, after the Coastal War ended, the absence of conflict led to a gradual complacency.

Thankfully, Li Xinde noticed the problem, promptly correcting it, and strictly punished those clansmen, preventing the spread of the bad atmosphere.

Given the current situation, it was far from completely safe, so vigilance and caution were necessary in the core areas of the family, as any accidents could potentially cause huge damage to the family!

As a result, Li Xinde launched a series of actions to check for any serious derelictions within the family.

Checking revealed some shocking results.

Clinically fair and just, the family hid many large rats and pests!

If purged, the Li family’s strength would weaken, but Li Xinde still gritted his teeth to push through.

In another world, these rats and pests might have united to seize power, replacing the old regime, but this was the Primal Spirit Realm, a world led by strength!

Some of them might be from the Integration stage, but none would be in the Immortal Realm, and without the support of Immortal Realm cultivators, any rebellion would end far worse than the current situation.

Because their crimes now involved embezzling family resources and breaking family rules, though serious, they weren’t unforgivable, not warranting execution.

But if they initiated a rebellion, it would be treason against the family!

And any force would execute traitors without exception!

Xu Chihong and Meng Zihong’s names spread like a whirlwind across various Immortal Cities, remembered deeply by countless cultivators.

Aside from the cultivators who witnessed Meng Zihong carrying the body of a Realm of Human Immortality Demon Cultivator that day, others didn’t quite believe the rumor.

Even though Meng Zihong had been titled the foremost Individual Immortal, and Xu Chihong had gained some fame before.

Once the Demonic Tao set a high bounty on their lives, all rumors were completely shattered!

”So amazing, able to use Individual Immortal cultivation to vanquish someone from the Realm of Human Immortality, and not just defeat but kill them. Truly a befitting title as the top Individual Immortal!”

”And it’s said that Meng Zihong came from a Loose Cultivator background, really bringing us Loose Cultivators much pride!”

”I personally witnessed Xu Chihong slaying a Demon Cultivator once. That bloody scene left a lasting impression on me.”

Praise poured at them like a tide, making them both role models among cultivators below the Individual Immortal Realm.

However, such fame also brought them some trouble.

Some prestigious, proud Loose Cultivator Immortals were unsatisfied and sought to challenge them, some with the intention of stepping on them to gain fame.
