Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1571: Chapter 1254: Tragic Battle (Part 2)

But those clan members who had just begun their cultivation journey, even those still honing their muscles and bones, couldn’t accept it all at once and were vomiting uncontrollably. They might even be left with lingering shadows in their hearts.

Although Li Guangjie arranged for a large number of the clan to clean up the battlefield after the war, a strong scent of blood still permeated around Mount Wanxian, making the clan highly uncomfortable.

Cultivators of the Immortal Dao naturally favor the pure, clear breath they inhale and exhale; they are not fond of evil qi or the filthy blood qi.

In the end, it was by using the Lotus Seed Skill created by Li Zhirui that the area around Mount Wanxian was restored to its former state.

As for Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, once the situation was determined and the outcome clear, they left the family and returned to the Divine Domain they had been away from for days.

Thankfully, with the help of spirit beasts like Yue and Li, responsible for managing the Divine Position, they didn’t have to bear too much Karmic Force.

“Why were you both staying in the family for several months?” Li was a bit curious as to why they were only coming back now.

Li Chengshuo then recounted their experiences.

“Luckily you stayed for an extra period; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.” Li said with a face full of relief.

If the brother and sister had not helped fend off, and even repelled, Earth Immortal Demon Practitioners Lai Jiang and Ku Liu, the Li family might not know how it would have ended up.

…

The Li family, having killed tens of thousands of Demon Cultivators in one go, thoroughly intimidated the nearby small forces and Loose Cultivators, rendering each of them utterly compliant, not daring to violate the Li family rules.

And upon the West Continent hearing of this, naturally, they were incredibly furious.

They could not have expected that more than 80,000 Demon Cultivators sent to deal with a Human Immortal family not only lost but were also defeated so miserably!

In the end, less than one percent of the Demon Cultivators managed to escape!

Even though Lai Jiang and Ku Liu explained that when they attacked the Li family, there were two Earth Immortal Realm experts present. After being ambushed, they immediately fell to the disadvantage, and to save their lives and plan for the future, they had to escape.

But this reason was not enough to quell the anger of the Demon Power figures.

They merely knew that once this news spread, the Demonic Tao would become a laughingstock for people to mention now and then.

So the first response of the Great Abilities was to dispatch more Demon Cultivators to ensure the elimination of the Li family no matter what!

Only in this way might they restore the past prestige of the Demonic Tao and demonstrate that the previous defeat was nothing but an accident.

But had the Demon Cultivators marauded the East Continent for so long? How could the Immortal Dao not respond in any way?

In the beginning, perhaps one could say it was a surprise attack by the Demonic Tao, and the Immortal Dao was unprepared, but with the repeated mobilization of Demon Cultivators, it was long observed by the major forces of the Immortal Dao, waiting for them to strike again, so the Immortal Dao could swiftly eradicate them.

It was like adding insult to injury!

Before the Li family could take action, more Demon Cultivators died in the East Continent, and even the cultivators were able to trace and find the Demon Cultivators’ gathering place, cutting them off from the West Continent.

In reality, the casualty conditions of those Demon Cultivators were of little concern to the Demon Power figures; they didn’t care how many died.

What they truly cared about was something else, such as the face lost at the Li family and the gathering place discovered by the Immortal Dao!

Especially within the gathering area, the means by which the Demonic Tao, despite the vast distance, could still communicate rapidly.

After such incidents, naturally, the Demonic Tao couldn’t afford to bother with the small cultivation family of the Li family.

And the Li family, which should have faced a crisis, thus escaped a calamity.

——

Regarding this matter, the Li family naturally remained oblivious.

On the contrary, after the fierce battle with the Demon Cultivators, many clan members realized their own cultivation was insufficient and could become a burden to the family, so unexpectedly, they became diligent after the war.

“Never thought a great battle would have this kind of effect.” Li Guangjie couldn’t help but remark after reading the contents within the jade slip.

This documented the changes before and after the clan members’ cultivation, and it was evident that the majority of clan members significantly increased their cultivation time.

As long as it isn’t a temporary enthusiasm, and they can persist, Li Guangjie believes that it won’t take a hundred years before the strength of the Li family would ascend to a higher level!

And just as he anticipated, in decades, the cultivation of the clan members had comprehensively improved, and the overall strength of the family had grown substantially.

Over these nearly hundred years, the Li family birthed two more Loose Cultivators, and within the Mortal Realm, there emerged dozens more in Mahayana, Integration, and other realms.

“I wonder when Elder Ancestor Jiang will emerge from seclusion to transcend the tribulation and add a Human Immortal to the family.”

Meanwhile, Jiang Fengwu, who had been on Li Guangjie’s mind, was also approaching a critical moment.

However, her realm had long since broken through, and her Mana had been accumulating for years, so she effortlessly stepped forward and began sensing the Thunder Tribulation.

Swoosh—

A wind suddenly picked up over Mount Wanxian, drawing the clouds of tribulation together, overlapping them above Jiang Fengwu’s Cave Mansion.

“Is Elder Ancestor Jiang truly going to transcend the tribulation?” Li Guangjie didn’t expect that his musings would come true in just an hour!

The Li family had faced many Thunder Tribulations, so the clan members remained calm and instinctively maintained order, preventing any living being from entering the scope of the Thunder Tribulation.

As the Thunder Tribulation brewed, Jiang Fengwu also emerged from her Cave Mansion, ignoring the observing clan members nearby, focusing intensely on perceiving the Thunder Tribulation, readying for the first Tribulation Thunder.

Rumble!

Before long, the first Tribulation Thunder came crashing down directly towards Jiang Fengwu.

Facing the menacing Tribulation Thunder, her expression did not change in the slightest. She calmly set up a formation in the Void, effortlessly passing the first Tribulation Thunder.

Wow—

In contrast, the observing clan members nearby were in an uproar; they had witnessed many Thunder Tribulations, but it was their first time seeing one solved so easily.

“Is the Dao of the Array truly so formidable? Its advantage against Thunder Tribulations seems too significant!”

“Indeed, had I known the Dao of the Array was so powerful, I should not have learned talisman making back then.”

…

Various discussions echoed among the crowd, the vast majority admiring the prowess of the Array Tao.

But they overlooked one point, that is, the technique of Void Array isn’t something every Array Master could grasp.

So while clan members were praising and admiring, the family’s Array Masters remained silent.

Because they knew, even as Array Masters, they weren’t the same; Jiang Fengwu is Jiang Fengwu, and they are themselves.

The Tribulation Thunders continued to fall one after another, not giving Jiang Fengwu a moment to breathe.

Despite the tension and danger, nothing harmed her, everything proceeded in an orderly manner until the final Tribulation Thunder dissipated.

“It was incredibly easy.”

“Indeed, from beginning the process until half an hour ago, it’s almost over now.”

Actually, the clan members overlooked another point, which is that Jiang Fengwu and Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo share a portion of luck and merit.

This was also a factor that played a part during the Thunder Tribulation.

Of course, this was because of the slight Karmic Force contribution from having produced Sun, Moon, and Star Lord.

A black lightning bolt dove into her body, manifesting multiple Illusionary Realms within her Sea of Consciousness, attempting to drag her deep into the illusion to devour her.

No matter if she saw herself as a Heavenly Immortal ruling the world or discovering numerous Jade Slips of extraordinary skills, Jiang Fengwu was unmoved.

Even as the Heart Demon presented increasingly numerous and realistic Illusionary Realms, pressure mounted, but she remained steadfast in her heart, unmoved by the Heart Demon’s seduction.

With firm resolve, she resisted the Heart Demon and eventually broke free from the Illusion Realm.

Ooze—

The Heart Demon emitted a whimper, and in the next instant, it dissolved into her body, flooding it like a waterfall pouring into Jiang Fengwu, aiding her in ascending to Human Immortal Realm and amplifying her Mana.
