Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1572: Chapter 1255: Discovery

The Heart Demon has been extinguished, the Spirit Qi infused, and Jiang Fengwu has thus become the fourth Human Immortal cultivator of the Li family.

However, it won’t be long before this number increases once more.

Because Xiaoqing and Cang, who have embarked on the Divine Path, are also advancing rapidly in their cultivation, having accumulated considerable time in the late-stage Independent Immortal.

In addition, there are Shen and Mu, who established the Earth Immortal Dao.

With the spread and growth of the Earth Immortal Dao, the two, as founding Ancestor Masters, naturally receive a continuous feedback of luck, enhancing themselves.

Moreover, due to the Earth Immortal Dao’s benefits of increasing Spiritual Energy and improving the environment, the Heavenly Dao bestows Merit, and they can partake in a share.

Though not much, with the numerous sentient beings cultivating the Earth Immortal Dao, the accumulation is quite considerable.

With the support of luck and Merit, Shen and Mu’s cultivation progresses rapidly, whether they wish it or not.

Had it not been for Shen’s great aspiration to strengthen the Demon Spirit Clan, dividing his Merit among the Spiritual Objects he nurtured and dispersing much of his energy, he might have broken through to Human Immortal faster than Jiang Fengwu.

Apart from these few ’old antiques’ who have cultivated for many years, the cultivation speed of Li Xianxun, Li Yunran, and Li Yunzhuang, as Individual Immortals, is also above average.

But if they do not have other opportunities or fortuitous encounters, they are not very different from most Individual Immortals, who can only slowly refine and diligently cultivate.

That said, just surpassing the Immortal Realm alone is beyond the reach of ninety-nine percent of beings, an unattainable dream for many.

——

As the sun rises and the moon sets, as spring departs and autumn arrives.

Time always flies by unintentionally, and unknowingly, several decades have passed.

”Alas!” Li Zhirui, who has been in seclusion for many years, sighed helplessly; now, a problem troubles him.

He has neither encountered a bottleneck nor has his realm, cultivation, and Mana fallen short, yet for some reason, he cannot break through to the late-stage Human Immortal, as if something unseen is obstructing his breakthrough.

In face of this situation, Li Zhirui does not know where to begin to resolve it, so he can only consult the well-informed Yuhong to see if he can offer any advice.

However, Yuhong is also immersed in cultivation and only left behind a Jade Slip to contact him when he awakens.

And so, Li Zhirui left his Cave Mansion, intending to stroll around Shanhai State to observe the family’s current development.

He did not alarm anyone, concealing his form, he moved around freely.

”It seems like many years have passed since I last witnessed the family’s situation with my own eyes.” After leaving Mount Wanxian, Li Zhirui suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity toward Shanhai State, a stark contrast to the images in his memories.

Vast Spirit Fields stretching beyond the eye can see, lush and thriving Spiritual Objects growing spiritedly, with black and white cottages scattered amidst them, adding a special charm.

This is the core area of the Li family, adequately safe, and due to a vast network of Spirit Veins here, it created a rich Spiritual Energy environment. The clan members leveled the land, transforming it into patches of Spirit Fields.

More than half of the Spiritual Objects consumed by the family annually come from here, attesting to its importance.

Yet, just moving a bit further reveals Spirit Light in the sky everywhere, an indication of numerous cultivators’ hustle for resources and livelihood.

Even for members of the Li family, if they wish to acquire more resources, they must strive to complete tasks.

Especially after the reform, regardless of how good one’s aptitude is, the family will not grant extra allowances; one must rely on oneself to earn them.

Li Zhirui observed all this without the slightest emotional stir.

Though he has long since ceased living such a life, back when his cultivation was low and the family weak, he lived similarly, even busier and harder, thus he felt nothing.

He did not reveal himself and continued to wander Shanhai State.

Unknowingly, he arrived outside the Little Demon Mountain Range.

This is an area specifically created by the family for training low-level clan members and obtaining resources.

Besides this, the Li family has two other similar places, but the Devil Beast’s strength is below the seventh rank, as higher cultivation levels are hard to control.

Moreover, for those already Integration stage cultivators, there’s no need to linger within Shanhai State; it’s time to train in the East Continent and refine themselves in preparation for breaking through to the Immortal Realm.

Just as Li Zhirui was about to turn away, he inadvertently saw a Nascent Soul clan member being pursued by several fourth-rank Devil Beasts, his wounded body, and blood-stained garments signaling that he was at the brink of exhaustion.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would likely meet his end at the beasts’ mouths.

But perhaps fortune favored him, as he coincidentally encountered the wandering Li Zhirui.

Without revealing himself, with a gentle wave of his hand, Li Zhirui sent those Devil Beasts flying, landing them dozens of miles away in the forest.

Li Zhirui did not kill those Devil Beasts, as their Spiritual Objects were worthless to him but could help many clan members exchange for resources.

”Junior Li Chuanyun thanks the Ancestor for the life-saving grace!” Li Chuanyun meticulously bowed respectfully.

Only Li family cultivators could enter the Little Demon Mountain Range, so calling him Ancestor was perfectly appropriate.

Yet, until Li Zhirui left, neither of them met, and they did not know who saved him, only silently keeping it in his heart.

After departing, he flew westward, intending to see the places not so tightly managed by the family.

It’s not that the family doesn’t want to, but it’s just too far; without a Teleportation Array, if something happens, there’s no way to arrive promptly.
