Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1743: Chapter 1340: Steady

Accompanied by a hum, yet another Earth Immortal was born!

With this, all the Spirit Beasts Li Zhirui once contracted have broken through to Earth Immortal.

In fact, the Li family’s current strength is not weak, with Earth Immortals, Human Immortals, and Individual Immortals forming an excellent growth ladder. Without any accidents, this can ensure the family has Earth Immortal births for a long period.

The only issue is there are no Heavenly Immortals!

“Congratulations to Qingxuan Spirit Ancestor on breaking through to Earth Immortal,” the clan members congratulated in unison.

“The same joy to you all. Thank you for protecting me. After I consolidate my realm, I will give a lecture for you all,” Da Qing said.

Having said that, Da Qing nodded to Xiaoqing and the others, then swiftly returned to his Cave Mansion.

“Da Qing is really not in a hurry. The younger generation is about to catch up, yet he continues to comprehend the Laws without worrying that this might embarrass him,” Xiaoqing suddenly remarked.

“It’s not like you just met Da Qing today. Why would you think he’d feel embarrassed about this? Moreover, although his cultivation speed is slow, every step is solid and stable.”

“You’re right; I put myself in the wrong place.” Xiaoqing laughed bitterly and shook his head. He shouldn’t think like that, and he needs to learn Da Qing’s stability, too.

Although the power of the Thunder Tribulations is getting stronger now, who knows how the future Heavenly Tribulations will evolve? Maybe the Heart Demon Tribulation will also become more perilous.

However, the task of learning a stable mindset is something Xiaoqing may not achieve in a short time. After all, he’s been with Da Qing for so many years; if he could have learned it, he would have by now.

Over half a year later, Da Qing emerged from seclusion and fulfilled his promise by giving a lecture on Mount Wanxian to the clan members.

“May I ask, Spirit Ancestor, your cultivation speed is much slower than other Spirit Ancestors. Why not learn from them?” In the final segment, it was, of course, time for members to ask about doubts in their hearts. However, the first person chosen didn’t ask about the lecture content but brought up something else instead.

“Everyone has their own path in seeking the Tao. Mine is like this—accumulate small streams to form a sea, take small steps to reach a thousand miles.”

Da Qing calmly gave his answer, saying, “You can also try to find your own path. It will surely benefit you greatly.”

These words plunged everyone into deep thought. Although this is something the family has always mentioned, hoping for the clan members to accomplish, finding one’s own path in seeking the Tao is easier said than done.

Especially since their realms are still relatively low, making it impossible to clearly see the long path ahead, and they can only explore bit by bit.

In this, Da Qing couldn’t offer any assistance; they must rely on themselves.

After answering the questions of several other clan members, he ended this lecture.

…

And if we look across the entire East Continent now, we will see the power of the Immortal Tao rapidly recovering.

The reason for this is due to the previous combined attack by three major factions, which led to severe losses of strength. To rapidly restore power, many Great Sects relaxed their disciple recruitment conditions.

As a result, many previously mediocre human race children now have the qualifications and opportunities to enter top-tier major powers!

With an increase in the number of disciples, and combined with abundant resources for cultivation, their growth speed has far surpassed the past, naturally restoring the power of the East Continent Immortal Tao.

“Not enough! Still not enough!” A certain Heavenly Immortal was still somewhat dissatisfied with the overall strength of the Immortal Tao. He wanted to see a more powerful Immortal Tao.

His urgency was driven by a desire for revenge! Or rather, many Heavenly Immortals and cultivators have such thoughts.

After all, the joint effort of the Devil Race, Sea Clan, and Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance caused enormous casualties and damage to the human race. How can they maintain their position as the primary power in the Primal Spirit Realm if they don’t retaliate?

But no matter how anxious they are now, it’s useless. Cultivating a cultivator at the late Mortal Realm or even in the Immortal Realm takes time. It’s not something that can be achieved in a short time just by providing substantial resources and skipping multiple realms.

After all, on a vast battlefield, what is needed are powerful high-realm cultivators, not individual Mortal Realm insignificant practitioners. The benefits brought by each are vastly different!

“In another thousand years! When this batch of disciples matures, it will be our time to retaliate!”

Apart from lowering the disciple recruitment conditions, various major powers have also received some children with excellent aptitudes. To ensure their better growth, they are personally taught and trained by Earth Immortals.

And the thousand-plus years mentioned by this Heavenly Immortal is the time when they will have cultivated a batch of Immortal Realm disciples and can start taking action.

Flowers bloom in two directions. Each has its own branch.

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, several hundred years have passed.

Li Zhirui, in the depths of the Void, has experienced countless battles. Although he had space to seek refuge and rest, the long-term and high-frequency combat still planted a seed of fatigue, even a hint of aversion, in his heart!

He realized something was wrong the first time but suppressed it to avoid being affected, hoping to break through to Heavenly Immortal sooner.

However, this approach made the consequences grow increasingly severe!

In the long absence of resolution, the aversion in Li Zhirui’s heart grew significantly, causing him to develop a war-weariness.

It was only then that he awoke to the fact that continuing this way would breed a Heart Demon!

Unlike the Outer Realm Heart Demon faced during Tribulation Transcendence, this one was entirely born from his experiences. Therefore, the Purification Principle he mastered didn’t have a restraining effect on this kind of Heart Demon; he could only find a way to endure this trial.

This time, however, aware of something amiss, he chose not to address it immediately, leaving it unchecked, which brought him significant trouble!

The Heart Demon had quietly taken form within Li Zhirui, remaining undetected because it was hiding in the shadows.

“Hee hee hee~”

One day, a sinister laugh echoed in his mind, and his heart sank. The Heart Demon had formed and started wielding its power!

For his safety, as soon as Li Zhirui was able to control his body, he hurriedly fled into the space, not daring to stay in the dangerous Void. If a Chaotic Storm suddenly emerged during his Heart Demon subjugation, he would have no escape.

Upon entering the space, his vision immediately darkened, and he fell into a peculiar state between waking and dreaming, as the Heart Demon pulled him into an Illusionary Realm.

Gradually, as time passed, Li Zhirui became increasingly confused, unable to distinguish reality from illusion.

…

In the continuing Void Chaos, Li Zhirui was cultivating when suddenly a spark of Spirit Light emerged, as if he had grasped something crucial, and his realm surged ahead, effortlessly breaking through his bottleneck.

“Hahaha!”

Despite his Mental State, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud. The issue that troubled him for so many years was finally resolved, so how could he not be overjoyed? How could he not be excited?

After calming down for a while, he considered returning to Mount Wanxian and planned to enter seclusion for cultivation.

“Start immediately!” Li Zhirui was eager to enter seclusion and break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Since he achieved his goal, there was no need to stay longer in the Void.

Having made up his mind, he acted immediately, flying toward the Primal Spirit Realm as quickly as possible using his connection with it.

Whether it was good luck or some other reason, his journey was extremely peaceful, encountering no monsters and smoothly returning to the family.

“Ancestor Rui, you’ve returned? Are you on the verge of breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm?” Li Chongmiao asked excitedly.

“Whether I succeed or not, all I can do is my best and hope for success.”

“You certainly will!”

With the family’s expectations on his shoulders, Li Zhirui entered the Cave Mansion to begin his seclusion.

Time flew by, and in an instant, hundreds of years had passed.

His cultivation also made significant progress, and perhaps success was near!

Rumble——

After an unknown duration, or perhaps decades or even hundreds of years, Li Zhirui finally faced his Heavenly Immortal Realm Tribulation Thunder!
