Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1762: Chapter 1350: Narrow Escape

As the saying goes, “To hear of the Tao in the morning, one can die contentedly in the evening!”

This is not just an empty phrase; for many cultivators, it is a very true reflection of reality.

If an opportunity for a breakthrough appears in front of a cultivator who has been trapped at a bottleneck for years, he would risk his life to gamble on it!

Although Li Zhirui has not experienced stagnation in his cultivation for years due to a bottleneck, the opportunity now stands before him, and it’s obvious that giving up is not an option.

After all, who knows when the next breakthrough will occur if this chance is missed? No one wants to remain stuck in one realm for too long.

So despite the immense danger ahead, Li Zhirui, after making full preparations, charged forward without hesitation.

Boom!

But before he could get close, an explosion suddenly boomed in his ears, sending a massive Chaos Tide rushing towards him.

Li Zhirui’s face turned extremely grim in an instant, knowing it was just an accident, a streak of bad luck on his part to encounter such a situation.

There are two ways to solve this: one is to resist it head-on, likely resulting in injury, and the other is to hide within a space like in past dangers, ensuring safety.

Logically, Li Zhirui should make the same choice as before.

But this time, he wanted to make a change; instead of immediately retreating into a space when confronted with danger, he decided to bravely attempt it!

“Ha! Ha—”

He sank his breath into his dantian and let out a loud shout, his Mana inside gushing out like a floodgate opened, creating massive waves colliding with the incoming Chaos.

As soon as they made contact, the water waves receded sharply, completely no match for the Chaos Qi.

But fortunately, the Chaos Tide had no follow-up strength. After withstanding the first wave, the water waves gained the strength to counterattack, beginning to forcefully push back the Chaos approaching Li Zhirui.

“Huff Huff—”

After enduring until the Chaos Tide completely dissipated, his body’s Mana was nearly exhausted, and he, drenched in sweat, gasped for breath as if he had just been fished out of water.

It was only an accidental Chaos Tide, yet it pushed him to such a sorry state; Li Zhirui couldn’t believe his own strength was so fragile!

Originally, he thought a Heavenly Immortal was already very powerful, but now it seemed he was like a frog in a well, only seeing a small patch of sky above.

Now that he’d leaped out, he realized the vastness of the world and recognized his own insignificance.

But Li Zhirui did not despair; instead, he was more spirited and determined to pursue the Great Tao!

Moreover, his mindset had changed: he no longer wanted to observe the battles of those two beings of Great Ability, but to challenge his own limits within the aftermath of their fight!

But for now, he needed to temporarily retreat to recover his completely exhausted Mana.

The two battling Great Abilities had already noticed Li Zhirui’s presence, but they spared no thought for him.

Because to them, he was just an ant, not worth any of their attention, as they remained wholly immersed in their fight.

…

An hour later, under the dual effects of the Secret Technique and the Immortal Pill, Li Zhirui’s Mana quickly regained perfection, and he approached the battlefield once more.

Crash—

Once again, Chaos Tides swept in from all directions; now he was like a lone boat on a tumultuous sea, at risk of being swallowed at any moment.

A surge of fear and dread emerged from within, threatening to drown him!

As the Chaos Tides drew closer, seemingly about to engulf him, Li Zhirui made no move, as if his entire being had been seized by unease.

Not until the tides were three zhang away did he suddenly awaken! Mana surged like an erupting volcano, pouring out fiercely all at once.

In an instant, countless giant trees sprouted from the emptiness of The Void, transforming the area for dozens of miles into a dense, lush forest, forming a heavy barrier to block and slice through the Chaos Tides.

When the tides passed, the trees rustled violently, swaying as leaves fell crazily, with thick branches breaking off, but quickly turning into Spirit Light, nourishing back into the trees, either repairing damage or enhancing their foundation.

Li Zhirui’s Mana sank rapidly, reaching the bottom in moments; he could only continually consume Immortal Pills, and as soon as a strand of Mana formed in his dantian, he invested it into the forest of giant trees to resist the unending Chaos Tides!

The battle between the two Great Abilities seemed to have reached a critical point; the conflict grew intense, creating relentless aftermath, with the Chaos Tides continuing incessantly.

He, bearing the brunt passively, could only grit his teeth and desperately hold on!

He lost track of time; Li Zhirui felt his consciousness growing hazy, only knowing the endless consumption of Immortal Pills to restore Mana, supporting the myriad giant trees in defense.

Until the Chaos Tide dissipated, he stopped his mechanical actions.

“Is it over?”

He was already on the verge of collapse, with just a thread of consciousness left, instinctively retreating into the safety of a space.

And as Li Zhirui disappeared into The Void for a moment, a colossal figure whisked past from above, not bothering to check on the fate of the ant below, merely dragging its heavily injured body away swiftly.
