Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1517: Chapter 1227: Expansion (Part 2)

“As for whether to arrange for disciples to cultivate, it depends on your thoughts and plans.”

The Earth Immortal left with this last sentence, then gracefully departed.

In fact, once they knew there was no problem with the methods, they had a very certain answer in their hearts, which was to arrange for the disciples to cultivate!

They themselves, of course, couldn’t change their cultivation, but utilizing a large number of low-level disciples to cultivate numerous blessed lands for planting spiritual objects was still feasible.

It was precisely because of the calculations of various major forces that the Earth Immortal Dao spread and expanded greatly in a very short time, with luck rising steadily.

As its pioneer, Shen naturally gained a lot of benefits.

However, he still restrained himself, patiently refining his cultivation and realm, without choosing to ride the winds and rise directly.

Though riding the winds might be good, yet it leaves one’s feet floating, easily leading to a disastrous fall if not careful.

It’s better to accumulate and improve slowly on one’s own, at least such progress is tightly held as a result of personal effort and won’t be affected by unexpected issues.

…

Time flew by, and another few decades passed in a flash.

Jiang Fengwu cultivated to Perfect Loose Immortal and planned to close off and advance to the Realm of Human Immortality.

Speaking of which, since the Dragon Carp failed in Tribulation Transcendence and fell, and Feng Peng became a Daoist out of guilt, she turned aloof and indifferent, as if uninterested in everything in the world.

Yet, her mental state didn’t seem to have any issues, an intriguing situation.

Hence, Li Zhirui could not say much, only hoping that Jiang Fengwu could soon resolve her heart knot.

“If there’s no way to break through, don’t be reckless. If you’re unwilling to give up, you can travel to broaden your knowledge.”

Before closing off, Jiang Fengwu had just met Li Zhirui.

He still worried about her condition, even though it seemed fine; often such situations caused the deepest, most severe harm.

“I know, I won’t force myself.” Jiang Fengwu understood what Li Zhirui worried about. She didn’t feel anything was wrong with herself, having long since completely assimilated past events without letting them affect her.

Despite her confidence before closing off, once she was truly in seclusion, she found that she couldn’t find a direction forward; it was pitch black ahead!

After years in seclusion without any progress, Jiang Fengwu decisively gave up on it. Even she didn’t expect that her confident breakthrough attempt would end this way.

Eventually, she left the family with Qingniao, embarking on a journey to train outside.

When Li Zhirui found out afterward, he showed a “just as expected” expression; he’d guessed from the start that Jiang Fengwu’s path wouldn’t be too smooth.

Though she looked cloudless and past all, she always carried it in her heart, really being greatly affected.

This could be seen from the retreat attempt.

“I hope this journey, you two can truly resolve the heart knot, not bury it deeper.”

This was Li Zhirui’s only expectation for them.

Otherwise, if they continued stagnating, they might really halt here, wasting all the skills they possessed.

As for Jiang Fengwu and Qingniao heading out, they chose the Immortal Demon Battlefield as their destination!

They planned to break through their bottleneck in battle, and also hoped to solve their personal issues along the way.

Unfortunately, they didn’t have as good luck as last time; by the time they approached the battlefield’s edge, the mental state issue remained unsolved, so they had to first enter the battlefield for a period of combat before doing anything else.

Though Jiang Fengwu didn’t strike often, her strength was formidable, especially her instant formation-casting ability, which indeed incited jealousy.

And in a formation, battling a cultivator of equivalent cultivation, how could she gain an advantage?

So it wasn’t long before Jiang Fengwu gained a resounding title on the Immortal Demon Battlefield, the “Ten Thousand Luo Immortal!”

Ten Thousand Luo referred to the unpredictable changes of formations, an existence elusive and unfathomable.

Although Jiang Fengwu had earned some fame, it didn’t greatly help her realm and heart issues, merely endeavoring to clear all obstacles ahead.

——

The flower blooms into two, each branching separately.

Li Zhixuan also left for training initially, but not because of bottlenecks or issues, rather because the path of cultivation was like that.

Unfortunately, after she broke through to the Realm of Human Immortality, there wasn’t much left in the Primal Spirit Realm where she could enjoy a hearty battle.

So Li Zhixuan’s cultivation speed slowed down at once, returning to that of ordinary cultivators.

This gap was something she initially struggled to accept, but she had no choice and gradually adapted to it anyway.

Given that Li Zhixuan needed combat to stimulate herself, she roamed yearly on the borders between the Immortal Tao, Devil Race, and Demonic Tao lands, as these regions were more prone to conflicts and battles.

Yet, it was unclear whether her luck was too good or too bad, for so long she hadn’t found a space where she could fully unleash herself.

“Help!”

“Get out of here!”

But this time, she encountered it.

She saw a group of devil beasts massacring humans, and leading them was a devil beast with Human Immortal cultivation!

Li Zhixuan felt it odd; how could something like this involve a Human Immortal devil beast directly? There must be something strange about it.

Regardless of the motive, she decisively intervened and halted their attack.

“Who dares to stop your Grandpa Hu’s good affair!” The Human Immortal devil beast roared discontentedly, the sound reverberating through the forest.

“Ignorant creature!” A trace of disdain flashed in Li Zhixuan’s eyes; she was not impressed by this opponent, as it gave her little pressure.

But it was better than nothing, still more than having nothing at all.

The devil beast initially was very arrogant and dismissive of Li Zhixuan, but within a hundred rounds, it realized the vast disparity between them.

Unwilling to continue the fight, for now already precarious, if not fled, would soon fall into her hands.

Yet, it wanted to escape without asking Li Zhixuan’s Mysterious Sword whether it agreed to let it go or not.

Roar!

“Don’t push it too far, if a life-and-death struggle ensues, in the end, who can tell who will suffer more?” The devil beast roared in anger, trying to use such ineffective threats to make Li Zhixuan stop.

“Today, if you don’t leave something behind, you won’t leave!”

She knew it was hard to keep a devil beast hell-bent on fleeing, mainly because her current strength wasn’t up to the task.

Moreover, being a purely sword cultivator, she didn’t know other divine powers; unlike Li Zhirui or Jiang Fengwu, who could trap opponents and slowly defeat them.

Li Zhixuan now pressed on step by step, wanting the beast to fight desperately, showing its strongest strength to let her feel some pressure.

“Since you seek mutual destruction, I shall fulfill your wish!”

The devil beast charged fiercely, its aura overwhelming, making Li Zhixuan’s tranquil heart beat a little faster; since breaking through to Human Immortal, she hadn’t encountered a foe she could fight wholeheartedly until today!

But in the end, she was greatly disappointed.

Everything about the devil beast was just a bluff, its real purpose was to flee, not to fight Li Zhixuan to the death.

But though the Human Immortal devil beast escaped, the other devil beasts didn’t have that capability.

A swarm of ants slain easily by Li Zhixuan with a few strands of Sword Qi, leaving a few survivors to inquire about the situation, “Why did you massacre the mortals?”

“Spare me, I know nothing; it was all following the king’s orders.”

“You know nothing? Then you’re useless!”

With a swing of the blade, another devil beast lost its life.

“Does anyone know? If none of you do, then I’ll send you all off together,” Li Zhixuan said with indifferent expression.
