Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1461: Chapter 1199: A Pleasant Surprise (Part 2)

In just a few hours, Li Xianxun became a new Loose Immortal, the twelfth Loose Immortal of the Li family after Shen (including Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo).

He was also the youngest Loose Immortal in the family hierarchy, a generation younger than Li Mingyao.

Li Xianxun, having finally taken this step, was extremely excited, taking several deep breaths to calm his turbulent mental state.

After expressing his gratitude to the protectors, he returned to his Cave Mansion to consolidate his cultivation.

Perhaps inspired by Li Xianxun, over the next thirty years, both Li Yunran and Li Yunzhuang managed to cross the heavenly chasm between the mortal and celestial realms!

For a moment, the Li family was thriving and glorious.

However, troubles followed closely as the Spiritual Energy on Mount Wanxian completely ran out!

Previously, it could barely be maintained, but now with three more Loose Immortals, along with the significant improvement in cultivation of other family members, how could the Spiritual Energy meet everyone’s needs?

Helplessly, they continued to scatter the family members, sending them to nearby Spirit Mountains.

After all, it was impossible to let Mount Wanxian remain in a state of Spiritual Energy deficiency for long, knowing that the various precious Spiritual Objects collected by the family over the years were all planted in the clan lands!

If the supply of Spiritual Energy were insufficient, these precious Spiritual Objects might wither, leading to incalculable, irreversible losses, so they had to endure for the time being.

Everyone hoped that the Spirit Vein could ascend quickly to prevent future shortages of Spiritual Energy.

But ordinary family members thought that the ascension of the Spirit Vein was still far off, unaware that the day would come soon.

...

Deep underground in Mount Wanxian.

Li Mingyao was sitting above the Spirit Vein, immersing his mind in it, aiding in the refinement of the Heaven and Earth Six Treasures.

After years of refining, only one or two parts remained, and it would be complete in twenty years or even sooner.

Moreover, with the integration of the Heaven and Earth Six Treasures, Li Mingyao was pleasantly surprised to find a significant discrepancy between the facts and his expectations, accelerating the Spirit Vein’s ascension!

In less than fifty years, the Spirit Vein could ascend to the Loose Immortal Grade!

This result delighted those in the know, as they could then freely absorb Spiritual Energy without worrying about shortages.

While the Li family was quietly accumulating strength for development, another war broke out between the Cave Abyss Sect and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The cause was the East Sea Dynasty.

This already decaying dynasty had not improved with time, but had completely collapsed recently.

The Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to swallow up all its territories and population, which would allow them to ascend to a Human Dao Dynasty and gain the power of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

But the Cave Abyss Sect on the side could not agree, as they would be the first to suffer if the Great Zhou Dynasty succeeded!

Although the Yumen He Family to the south also bordered the Great Zhou Dynasty, the mountain range to the south made travel difficult due to the terrain.

For an Immortal Dao Influence, these mountains would pose no problem as they could directly fly over with a Magical Treasure, but the Human Dao Dynasty, even with limited flight abilities, relied heavily on collective strength, particularly the Military Family.

Therefore, the south was not suitable for the Great Zhou Dynasty’s expansion, and the Yumen He Family wisely chose to watch from the mountains.

With accumulated grudges over the years, both considered each other the most important adversary.

Regardless of reason, both sides would engage in battle.

Thus, to seize the East Sea Dynasty’s legacy, the two forces wreaked havoc on each other.

Based on current circumstances, there was sure to be a prolonged fight until a decisive victory emerged.

But this didn’t mean the losing side would give up; there was a high chance they would go underground to cause trouble covertly.

Only years later did news come, unexpectedly revealing a tie, with both sides dividing the former islands equally.

But all this had little to do with the distant Li family, as family members continued their diligent cultivation.

”Finally mastered it!”

Li Zhirui looked at the Jade Bottle in his hand with a satisfied smile.

Due to the family’s shortage of Spiritual Energy, he devoted himself to pondering the Pill Recipe of the Chong Yuan Immortal Pill when not comprehending the Purification Principle over the years.

After years of pondering, Li Zhirui naturally mastered this Human Immortal Rank Pill Recipe.

However, just mastering it didn’t mean immediate success in refining the Chong Yuan Immortal Pill; after dozens of failures, he finally produced two Immortal Pills.

Though of poor quality, successful nonetheless.

Thanks to Li Zhirui’s Mysterious Space, otherwise the cost of the dozen materials would have exhausted a sizable amount of Spirit Stone.

But Spirit Stones weren’t the most significant point; it was the time spent purchasing materials. Without luck, gathering enough materials could take decades or even centuries.

Rumble—

The joy on Li Zhirui’s face had not yet faded when a strong earth-shaking sensation hit, and Mount Wanxian under his feet began to rise rapidly!

Instantly aware, he dashed out and with powerful Mana, lifted frightened family members into the air.

As for those cultivating in the Cave Mansion, there was no concern since their Formations were designed to prevent earthquakes.

So too for the growing Spiritual Objects.

”Ancestor Rui, what happened? Could it be the Earth Dragon Turning Over, causing the mountain to rise?”

No need for Li Zhirui to speak, someone nearby answered, ”Did you forget who the Earth God of Shanhai State is? It can’t be because of the Earth Dragon Turning Over; it must be another reason.”

But what exactly, he didn’t know.

”Yes, it’s the change caused by the Spirit Vein’s ascension,” Li Zhirui confirmed his speculation.

”What?”

”The Spirit Vein is ascending?”

Upon hearing this answer, all the family members were delighted, as the Spirit Vein’s ascension means they could soon end their frugal days and return to the days when Spiritual Energy was abundant.

However, such a disturbance wasn’t solely due to the Spirit Vein’s ascension, as Li Mingyao likely played a part.

As the Earth God, changing a mountain ordinarily wasn’t easy, but taking advantage of the Spirit Vein’s ascension could be done.

Under the watchful eyes, Mount Wanxian continued to rise, and when it stopped, it was two to three hundred feet taller, with a much broader base.

This meant more living space for the family members.

And during the Spirit Vein’s ascension, pure Spiritual Energy erupted but was contained within the clan lands by the Formations.

The entire process lasted a day and a night, and when it ended, Mount Wanxian was shrouded in dense Spirit Mist.

”Ancestor Rui, mission accomplished!”

Li Mingyao soared from deep underground, reaching Li Zhirui, with piercing eyes and a surging presence, indicating he was on the verge of breakthrough.

”You’ve done well,” Li Zhirui noted his current state and said with a smile, ”You should return to closed-door cultivation quickly and strive for a breakthrough to become a great god of the Realm of Human Immortality!”

”Then I’ll go ahead.”

”By the way, Ancestor Rui, there are some small surprises from this Spirit Vein ascension, I’ll leave it for you to explore personally.”

With that, he transformed into a yellow light and disappeared underground.

”Small surprises?”

Li Zhirui murmured, gazing at the ground as if he could peer through the earth to its depths.

While pondering, he didn’t notice the reactions of the family behind him, who were elated and excited about the conversation they just overheard.

Human Immortal!

The family would have another deity of the Realm of Human Immortality, a protective deity remaining within the clan to guard it!
