Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1619: Chapter 1278: Earth Immortal (2)

With a resounding crash, the Sword Light and Tribulation Thunder collided, instantly erupting into a terrifying explosion. The powerful shockwave pushed the onlookers away.

As for Zhixuan herself, being at the center, she took the brunt of the force and was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ground.

”Cough... Cough...”

She propped herself up, gazing at the Sword Qi and Tribulation Thunder still entangled in battle. Her eyes were indifferent, showing no trace of worry that if the Sword Qi was defeated, she would perish beneath the Tribulation Thunder.

Instead, the watching family members were each worried sick, filled with anxiety.

Fortunately, in the end, Zhixuan’s Sword Qi prevailed by a very narrow margin over the Tribulation Thunder.

But in the next instant, a flash of black light passed by, directly entering her Sea of Consciousness.

It was the Heart Demon Tribulation that descended, and the reason for its quick action was because, in their eyes, Zhixuan was the type most easily tempted into losing control.

After all, with her heart full of Evil Qi and killing intent, if even a bit was stirred, the rest would erupt like a volcano!

At that time, all her cultivation and realm would belong to the Heart Demon.

So Zhixuan is a prime target, beloved by Heart Demons, often sparking fierce battles. This Heart Demon was the victor of such a battle and was eager to enjoy the ’feast’.

Yet, the Heart Demon forgot that she could control such vast amounts of Evil Qi and killing intent without self-harm, indicating a strong and solid Dao Heart, capable of subduing them, hardly likely to leak due to Heart Demon temptation.

Conversely, the Heart Demon faced a tragic fate. Upon entering the Sea of Consciousness, intending to wield Divine Power, Zhixuan acted faster, planning to annihilate it using the Divine Sword.

The Heart Demon attempted resistance but was no match, and within moments, it was erased entirely!

Buzz—

The thick, massive tribulation clouds transformed into a vast amount of pure Spiritual Energy, surging into Zhixuan’s body.

After several breaths, her cultivation successfully broke through to the Earth Immortal. The remaining Spiritual Energy transformed into Mana, flooding her Dantian Sea of Law.

A terrifying pressure surged like tide in all directions, even Da Qing and Xiaoqing felt countless Sword Qi piercing their skin, causing discomfort.

But in the next moment, the pressure dispersed completely, leaving everyone feeling reborn.

”Congratulations to Zhixuan/Ancestor Xuan for achieving Earth Immortal!”

There was no need for anyone to lead; numerous family members voiced in unison. Initially, it lacked coordination, but by the second time, hundreds and thousands of voices synchronized perfectly, cohering without difference.

By the third time, countless family members from Mount Wanxian joined in.

The momentum was immense, spreading the sound waves hundreds of miles around.

Even cultivators located at the far edges of Mount Wanxian heard everything clearly.

Remember, it’s already over three hundred miles away from Mount Wanxian!

”Earth Immortal! Another Earth Immortal is born in the Li family!”

This time, the outside world’s response was far more intense than when Yuhong broke through. Indeed, it had been just over a century!

Moreover, they had heard of Zhixuan’s identity, knowing she was one of the top-ranked two in the Li family, a true cultivator, not some Divine.

”Li family has accumulated thick and thin.”

”Accumulated thick and thin? How many years has Li family accumulated, then one after another an Earth Immortal is born? Besides, don’t forget, the Li family still has an ancestral elder, and this one’s realm is higher. It won’t take long before the Li family faces another Thunder Tribulation!”

”Aren’t you exaggerating? Breaking through to Earth Immortal isn’t that easy.”

...

Loose Cultivators were discussing, surrounding forces also talked about Zhixuan’s breakthrough to Earth Immortal.

Those with weaker strength were full of envy, wishing their family could also quickly nurture a high-level cultivator, bolstering their family’s name to grow stronger.

Higher powers like Cave Abyss Sect didn’t take it too seriously, thinking Earth Immortal, so what? Once the war between two realms breaks out, Earth Immortal is but a bigger ant.

Moreover, with the impending war, they were extremely busy, having no time to concern themselves with such trivial matters.

...

Upon Zhixuan’s breakthrough, she immediately returned to her Cave Mansion, beginning to consolidate her realm.

Other family members were still consumed with excitement, dispersing only after quite some time.

She inspired the family members, strengthening their cultivation dedication and focus.

After all, the images of wielding the Mysterious Sword against Heavenly Tribulation, cutting through three Tribulation Thunder with one strike are deeply imprinted in their memories.

They aspire to one day reach such a level!

It was at this time, Xiu Yuan announced new measures.

No longer distributing cultivation resources evenly among members, now requiring visible dedication and hard work in cultivation.

Over time, some members began to slack, even keeping some cultivation resources to sell for Spirit Stone.

Something obtained freely without any cost rarely breeds a sense of preciousness.

...

Two cycles of spring and fall passed before Zhixuan emerged from the Cave Mansion.

The reason she spent two years was not only to consolidate her realm but also to refine mana, summarize insights, and contemplate her future path, not merely cultivating.

She became calm and steady, completely collecting her sharp aura, leaving no trace of her formidable strength as a Sword Cultivator.

Upon emerging, Zhixuan first looked towards the Cave Mansion where Zhirui was in seclusion, murmuring to herself, ”Has Jiu reached the last step?”

She realized he was merely one step away from Earth Immortal, ready to surpass the threshold and become an Earth Immortal.

Having recently broken through, Zhixuan didn’t rush to travel abroad, intending to first adapt, fully mastering her Earth Immortal power before considering future roads.

After breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm, she cannot improve her cultivation by dueling as before!

The Primal Spirit Realm doesn’t have many Earth Immortals available for dueling, meanwhile, those who achieved Earth Immortal must possess numerous strategies, opposing her arbitrary dueling intentions.

”Must I leave the Primal Spirit Realm to train in The Void?” Zhixuan murmured softly, feeling conflicted as her family lacked intelligence about The Void, unsure of its benefits for her cultivation.

At this moment, Clan Leader Xiu Yuan personally arrived to visit.

”Ancestor Xuan.”

After a ceremonial greeting, he said, ”There is a matter pertaining to our family’s survival that I need to discuss with you.”

”Are you speaking of the war between two realms? Rest assured, I will do my utmost to protect the family.”

Xiu Yuan was somewhat surprised she knew, but since she did, he spared unnecessary words.

”Then I shall take my leave.”

Busy with family affairs, he found no time to settle other matters. His visit signified momentarily abandoning those matters without resolving them.

”Go ahead.”

Once he left, Zhixuan closed the door and continued her cultivation.

Every time Earth Immortal cultivators practice, they must absorb large amounts of Spiritual Energy. Only because Mount Wanxian has two Loose Immortal Grade Spirit Veins can it fulfill her needs while providing adequate Spiritual Energy to other family members.

However, Xiu Yuan and others are already advancing a third Loose Immortal Grade Spirit Vein because if Zhirui also breaks through to Earth Immortal, Spiritual Energy usage will become intense.

Moreover, there are plenty of Spiritual Objects from past gatherings, whose consumption is minimal, so why not advance them?

...

In another Cave Mansion.

In the tranquil Cave Mansion, Zhirui sat cross-legged on the mat, his Mental State harmonious, body relaxed, seemingly one with heaven and earth, each breath moving thick Spiritual Energy, including Water and Wood Spiritual Qi entering his body.

Following the Cultivation Technique’s flow, Spiritual Energy traveled his meridians, continuously tempered, finally transformed into strands of Mana, merging with the Dantian Sea of Law.

Years of cultivation brought his Mana near its limit. Once his realm breaks through, he can draw forth the Thunder Tribulation!
