Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1739: Chapter 1338: Explosion (Part 2)

At the same time, he was also thinking, if he hadn’t agreed to the transaction with the Sea Clan at that time, perhaps the collective resistance from the human race’s Divines wouldn’t have happened now?

But without the support from the Water God’s faction back then, helping him swiftly secure the position of Heavenly Emperor, his current position might have been occupied by someone else.

Thinking of these things, Ziwei shook his head and no longer dwelled on these past matters.

...

Mount Wanxian, Li family.

All the members of the clan were immersed in the great news brought back by Xiaoqing and Cang, as the vast Mount Wanxian was enveloped in a joyful and harmonious atmosphere.

They had previously noticed changes in the Sun and Taiyin, suspected that something good had happened, but it was all speculative, and now they finally received a definite answer.

However, the atmosphere in the family hall was quite gloomy; Li Chongmiao and a group of Elders weren’t showing any smiles on this joyous day.

As for the reason? It was the words Li Chengsheng said to Cang last—refusing the alliance with various human race forces, the family is bound to be implicated.

But they didn’t expect the implications would come so quickly, so fiercely!

Early the next morning, many caravans came, choosing to terminate cooperation with the Li family.

”This...” The faces of several Stewards changed drastically, not understanding why this happened so suddenly.

Soon, Li Chongmiao understood and said solemnly, ”Since they don’t wish to continue trading, let’s follow their wishes and from now on, blacklist them from the family, resolutely refusing any transactions with them in the future!”

These words reached the ears of the caravan cultivators verbatim, and they couldn’t help but show a hint of mockery, disdainfully saying, ”What does the Li family have that we don’t? Threatening us, truly laughable.”

They quickly cut ties with them and expelled these caravans from Mount Wanxian, anyway, since they’ve already torn their faces, there is no need to show them any respect.

”Humph!”

The faces of the caravan cultivators turned even uglier, but on someone else’s territory, they dared not act, only coldly humphing to express their dissatisfaction.

Upon receiving the news, the Elders hurried to the family hall.

”Clan Leader, in this situation, if it continues, what will become of the family?” An Elder asked worriedly.

It is said that these caravans were trying to curry favor with Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, and approached the Li family for trading not long ago, terminating cooperation won’t cause much impact.

However, those previous caravans provided the Li family with a large amount of spiritual objects annually, if they also terminate cooperation, the family might face chaos!

”Don’t worry too much, the family has a firm grasp of many spiritual objects, only the common low-level spiritual items are bought externally, on the contrary, the family annually exports a large amount of spiritual objects, if they truly terminate cooperation, it is they who will suffer, the family can completely find another trading partner.” Li Chongmiao explained.

She also felt very fortunate in her heart; thankfully, the family’s measures have always prevented life’s blood from being controlled by others, firmly keeping it in their hands!

”That’s good to hear.” Many Elders breathed a sigh of relief.

As the family affairs grew more numerous and complex, the number of Elders increased as well, and because they each managed different matters, they weren’t very familiar with some affairs.

Just as Li Chongmiao said, the Li family purchases only common low-level spiritual items externally, with no lack of sellers, thus the cooperating caravans dare not mention terminating cooperation; their replaceability is too strong.

This storm passed quietly, without causing significant impacts on the Li family.

After discussing with the Elders the follow-up, and once they had all left, Li Chongmiao sighed, saying, ”We still need powerful strength!”

She now hopes that Li Zhirui and Li Zhixuan, the two Ancestors, can break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm as soon as possible!

But breaking through is inherently difficult, especially to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

...

Now, Li Zhixuan, who had been in closed-door cultivation since returning from The Void, finally emerged!

The aura on her body grew much stronger, but still showed no signs of breakthrough, and her emergence this time was also to prepare for entering The Void again soon.

Moreover, Li Zhixuan decided to prepare more pills, so she could train longer in The Void, avoiding frequent returns that could potentially waste more time than the training itself!

As for talismans and other spiritual objects, she completely disregarded them, being a Sword Cultivator, she didn’t need those ’evil paths’ to enhance her strength.

While preparing pills, she also learned of Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo’s breakthrough to Heavenly Immortal, but Li Zhixuan didn’t plan to seek advice or insights from the two.

Primarily because it wasn’t necessary, as their cultivation methods were entirely different, and she was more inclined to forge her own path.

”Did Jiu also go to The Void and hasn’t returned yet?” Li Zhixuan was a bit surprised, not expecting her brother, who always enjoyed peace and reflected on the Laws in seclusion, to even head to The Void for training, wondering about his situation?

As for meeting by chance? Hoping to encounter him in The Void is as likely as finding a needle in a haystack.

After yet another period passed, it was finally her departure day.

”Ancestor Xuan, take care and may your wishes come true, return successfully!”

Li Zhixuan’s obvious purpose for her extensive exchange of pills with the family attracted many clan members to bid her farewell once they learned of her departure.

”Thank you for your kind words.”

Li Zhixuan responded cheerfully and then transformed into Sword Light, soaring into the sky, disappearing in an instant.

...

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui, whom everyone is longing for, is currently struggling to survive in deep The Void.

That’s right! Ever since reaching the depths of The Void, despite the dangers, he has no intention of leaving.

”Perish!”

He is now battling a Chaotic Being, overwhelmingly dominating the engagement, likely to soon defeat it without mishap.

The creature seems aware of the impending life threat, desperately scrambling and attempting to escape alive.

Nevertheless, this only exposed more vulnerabilities for Li Zhirui, enabling him to finish the battle quickly and easily.

Swiftly securing the spoils, he left the area.

Li Zhirui has been in the depths of The Void for many years now, much of that time spent in battle, unable to count how many Chaotic Beings have fallen by his hand.

Only, the breakthrough he longed for has never occurred.

Even though he knows such an occurrence isn’t so easily achieved, he couldn’t avoid feeling some disappointment.

”Sigh!”

He entered The Void out of restlessness seeking action, but now, having moved extensively, he craves tranquility again, indicating he wishes to leave The Void, to return to the Primal Spirit Realm.

”Just endure a bit longer, there might be changes.” He could only comfort himself in this way.

The monotonous gray mist covering, unchanged even over countless years, inevitably grew wearisome over extended periods.

He wasn’t sure how much time had passed when suddenly a violent upheaval occurred in the previously calm depths of The Void.

”Hmm?” Li Zhirui abruptly opened his eyes, curiously surveying the surroundings, seeking the cause.

But, like a mere illusion, no matter how he probed, he found not a trace.

Just as disappointment began to settle, another wave of tremor arose, as he helplessly watched the entire Void boiling like water brought to a rolling boil!

”What’s happening?” Li Zhirui’s face beheld shock, lacking adequate knowledge of The Void to pinpoint the cause.

Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart, as if about to unleash some catastrophe, prompting him to dash at maximum speed toward a relatively tranquil corner of The Void.

The next instant, Li Zhirui witnessed his previous standing spot, explode like a firecracker!

Wrong!

The location he stood merely experienced peripheral shock waves; the core explosion site lay far away.

Nonetheless, the terrifying explosive force was so formidable, even a Heavenly Immortal would retreat three miles!
