Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1457: Chapter 1197: Remolding (Part 2)

With heartfelt sincerity, Xiaoqing said, ”Take the time to visit home more often.”

”We will remember that and will surely return often in the future.”

Previously, it wasn’t that they didn’t want to go back; there simply wasn’t time.

Despite both being Human Immortals, their cultivation level was still too low for their Divine Position, completely mismatched.

So, Taiyin and the Sun constantly infused them with the True Meaning of Dao, forcing them to retreat in seclusion to comprehend it.

In such circumstances, the operation of the sun and moon, balancing Yin Yang, and defining dawn and dusk were all helped by various Spirit Beasts.

Fortunately, as their cultivation improved, such urgent pushes lessened, allowing them more free time.

”Well, I will take my leave then.”

With that said, Xiaoqing transformed into a wisp of spirit wind and left the Heavenly Court, then swiftly descended, returning to Mount Wanxian in less than an hour, much faster than when he left.

Facing the expectant gazes of everyone, Xiaoqing smiled and took out the thirty thousand jin of star soil, saying, ”Mingyao, could you configure more of the Heaven and Earth Six Treasures to allow the Spirit Vein to advance quicker?”

”Spirit Ancestor Qingpeng, overdoing things is not beneficial, the Spirit Vein is the same; after all, it’s an Immortal Realm spiritual object, and what I deduced has almost reached its limit.” Li Mingyao shook his head and explained.

This was not like before, simply placing Spiritual Objects into the Spirit Vein to eventually integrate it. This time it required him to refine it, otherwise it would rely on time and couldn’t be completed quickly.

”I was being greedy.”

Xiaoqing carefree smiled nonchalantly and said, ”Then I’ll trouble you for the next part.”

Li Mingyao shook his head, eyes bright with a hint of excitement, and laughed, ”If successful, I will receive quite a bit of merit!”

The Spirit Vein does not produce Spiritual Energy out of thin air; how it specifically does so remains unknown to the Li family, but it’s said to be related to Void Chaos.

This means the higher grade the Spirit Vein, the more Chaotic Spiritual Energy it absorbs from the Void, benefiting both Mount Wanxian and the Primal Spirit Realm.

And since Li Mingyao is responsible for promoting the Spirit Vein, it’s something the Heavenly Dao would notice, so that’s why he said he could gain merit.

”Hahaha, this is your fortuitous opportunity!”

No one was jealous, rather, they were very happy.

Because Li Mingyao is now in the late-stage Individual Immortal realm, and thanks to this merit, he might step forward and enter the Human Immortal Realm.

That is the divine advantage; as long as there is merit in managing responsibilities beneficial to the heavens and earth, the cultivation will naturally rise.

Even Xiaoqing and Cang, who broke through to the Individual Immortal Realm several centuries later than Jiang Fengwu, have now caught up, and might even surpass her someday.

As Li Mingyao is the Earth God of Shanhai State, if he breaks through, he can also advance the local land and water quality.

Coupled with his cultivation, it means dual benefits for the family.

Emotionally moved, Li Mingyao took the three thousand jin of star soil, as well as the Loose Immortal Grade Spiritual Fire, Spirit Water, and Spirit Wind. He planned to stay near the Spirit Vein until it thoroughly refined the Heaven and Earth Six Treasures.

This crucial family affair was not publicly announced, everything carried out in secrecy.

...

The sun rises and the moon sets, spring turns to autumn.

The eager to return home Li Zhirui was already outside the gate of Mount Wanxian.

”Huh?”

Though only after a decade, Mount Wanxian seemed mysteriously unfamiliar to him.

”Looks like a lot of good things happened to the family while I was away.”

Li Zhirui did not alert the clan members, except for a few in the know like Jiang Fengwu and Da Qing, most believed he had been in seclusion in his Cave Mansion all these years, unaware he went away and successfully broke through to Human Immortal.

And he only informed a few about his return; in most clan members’ eyes, he was still in seclusion.

After all, what he had prepared was a surprise and was certainly not going to be publicly revealed, let alone celebrated with a grand ceremony.

One day.

After finishing cultivation, Da Qing suddenly saw a familiar Communication Talisman at the door, stunned for a moment. When recovered, his heart pounded uncontrollably, and he excitedly activated it.

”Not disappointing!”

Just these four characters made Da Qing’s hands tremble with joy.

If it weren’t for the need to keep it secret, he would have howled to the sky with exhilaration.

”Truly deserves to be Jiu, always forging new paths in cultivation ahead of everyone!” Da Qing exclaimed excitedly and then rushed to Li Zhirui’s Cave Mansion.

Only to find several Communication Talismans already stuck on the door, from Jiang Fengwu, Xiaoqing, Cang, Mu, and Li Xinde.

It seemed upon hearing the news, they, like Da Qing, couldn’t help but run over, eager to see Li Zhirui immediately, to know what he experienced these years; to know his insights post-Human Immortal breakthrough...

They had so much they wanted to know.

But Li Zhirui did not meet them separately; he waited until everyone had gathered to reply collectively, avoiding repeating things multiple times.

Once Da Qing arrived, Li Zhirui emerged from his Cave Mansion and informed the others.

”Jiu! You...”

Before the words were finished, Li Zhirui interrupted, ”I know you have many questions, but wait until everyone’s here, sit down first.”

Da Qing had no choice but to enter the hall and sit down.

Before long, Jiang Fengwu, Xiaoqing, Cang, and others all arrived as expected.

”Where’s Ming Yao?”

Da Qing then briefly explained what Li Mingyao was doing.

”He sure has his hands full.”

Li Zhirui brushed aside his distractions, leisurely narrating his experiences over the past decade, gradually extending into insights and realizations from his breakthrough, thus turning the meeting into a teaching session where he instructed and they listened.

For several hours, Li Zhirui lectured before stopping, with everyone gaining more or less from it.

The one who benefited the most was not the highest cultivation among them, Xiaoqing and Cang, but Jiang Fengwu, Da Qing, and Mu.

After all, the former two had already embarked on the Divine Path, different from the Immortal Tao methods they previously cultivated.

Otherwise, their gain would be smaller, probably comparable to Li Xinde at the Mahayana stage.

”In the coming decade, I’ll hold lectures every first day of each month in the Cave Mansion. If you have time, come and listen; if not, just carry on with your cultivation.”

After all, every individual’s cultivation path is their own; Li Zhirui could only guide, sharing some of his experience, which may not necessarily be effective for them.

”As for Xiaoqing and Cang, don’t waste time, focus on figuring out how to integrate more Divine Positions.”

This decade wasn’t merely to repay the family but also a time to sort his cultivation path.

Besides, he needed to comprehend the pill recipe for the Three Spirits and Three Harmonies Chong Yuan Immortal Pill and reshape his Life-bound Magic Treasure!

Li Zhirui’s reshaping was unlike Jiang Fengwu’s complete destruction and remanufacture; back then, she was about to retrain, so the fragmentation was not too serious.

But it’s different for him, rebuilding from scratch is not an option; reshaping is the only choice.

Through this cultivation breakthrough and the chance to integrate new spiritual objects, he’ll reshape his Life-bound Magic Treasure.

The reason for this extensive effort remains that Li Zhirui found his Life-bound Magic Treasure becoming somewhat ineffective.

Originally, it sounded perfect—integrating attack, defense, and support capabilities in one.

But as his cultivation progressively rose, the problem of being too broad but not specialized became apparent.

If left unaddressed, his Life-bound Magic Treasure would have been reduced to mere decoration!

What he decided on the way back was to remove the attack focus and specialize in defense, with a focus on support.

To accomplish these goals, he needed the family’s help in gathering some Spiritual Objects!
