Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1764: Chapter 1351: Awakening

Of course, at that time Li Zhirui was also a bit extreme and impulsive, with his mind full of thoughts about changing his usual style and habits, to the point of overcorrecting his actions.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suffered such severe injuries!

Even though he was in a coma for hundreds of years, fortunately, it didn’t lead to irreversible consequences, or else it would have been too late for regrets.

Li Zhirui, or rather most beings, are very good at summarizing experiences and lessons. Whether they can persist with them, and for how long, depends on their own disposition and abilities.

Yuhong had lost count of how many times he had checked on Li Zhirui’s condition, each time without hopeful results. Yet this time, an unexpected surprise emerged.

“You finally woke up! Are you alright?”

After years of worry, Yuhong still couldn’t fully relax in this moment, repeatedly asking, “How is your recovery? What did you encounter that put you in such a life-and-death situation?!”

“Sorry to have worried you.”

Li Zhirui chuckled and explained the reason for his injuries.

After listening to his account, Yuhong was stunned, unable to recover for a while, before finally speaking, “Since when did you become so daring?”

“At that time, I was indeed misled, becoming a bit extreme. I won’t be so impulsive in the future.”

“As long as you know.”

Yuhong couldn’t help but roll his eyes, saying irritably, “You don’t know how dangerous the situation was then, your injuries were so severe that I didn’t dare to help you, afraid it would cost your life! If not for the Five Elements Immortal Root manifesting, consuming its source to heal you, you might have already lost your life!”

As he spoke, his tone grew more excited, indicating his inner turmoil.

Hearing this, Li Zhirui turned to check on the Five Elements Immortal Root, finding it wilted and withering, its leaves yellowed, and a pile of dead branches and leaves scattered below.

Previously he hadn’t noticed, but upon being reminded, through a special contract, he could clearly sense that the condition of the Immortal Root was worse than it appeared!

“Thank you for your effort.”

Li Zhirui stepped forward quickly, touching the sturdy trunk, his voice unconsciously softening, “I will find a way to help you recover soon.”

The Five Elements Immortal Root seemed to have truly gained Spiritual Intelligence, gently swaying its body in response to him.

Yuhong, standing aside, showed an astonished expression, this Immortal Root, which had become a Lifebound Object, could actually develop Spiritual Intelligence?!

It’s known that the chance of an Immortal Root developing Spiritual Intelligence is extremely low, less than one in ten million. After contracting it as a Lifebound Spiritual Object, the probability drops significantly further.

Yet in such circumstances, the Five Elements Immortal Root developed Spiritual Intelligence!

If not seen with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it, and even if word spread, few would believe it. He couldn’t help but marvel: ‘In the entire Universe, such a situation probably occurs fewer than once in a lifetime.’

However, Li Zhirui did not show surprise, as if he already knew, but in truth, he had just known moments before Yuhong.

Moments earlier, when checking on the Five Elements Immortal Root, he discovered a weak Spiritual Soul emerging within the fading vitality.

Though this Spiritual Soul’s strength was even less than a newborn baby, for the Five Elements Immortal Root, it marked a massive leap from nonexistence to existence!

Even when the grade had advanced from a Spiritual Root to an Immortal Root, it hadn’t achieved such a significant advancement.

Because from now on, the Five Elements Immortal Root transformed from a dead object into a living being with excellent cultivation potential, with a broader future ahead.

“Because of this disaster, the Five Elements Immortal Root was blessed and developed Spiritual Intelligence. Now that you survived great peril, did you gain anything?” Yuhong asked, thinking Li Zhirui must have also gained substantially.

“Summarized some experiences beneficial to future cultivation, and the bottleneck finally showed some signs of loosening.”

On the path of cultivation, one should not be overly cautious and selfishly fearful for their life. At certain times, one must advance courageously!

“So are you planning to return to the Primal Spirit Realm?”

“Given my current physical condition, I can’t continue training in The Void!” Li Zhirui showed a slight bitter smile; although out of life-threatening danger, his injuries weren’t healed yet.

His body still bore numerous scars, with meridians fragile like strands of silk, risking rupture with any force, let alone engaging in fierce battles.

Yuhong naturally nodded, “Indeed, moreover, now that your bottleneck has loosened, you need a safe and stable environment to close in seclusion and cultivate, to seek a quicker breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal.”

“According to you, breaking through to Heavenly Immortal seems quite simple.” Li Zhirui shook his head, still feeling there’s no clue to achieve the breakthrough.

Furthermore, he needed to deduce and perfect the Heavenly Immortal Realm’s cultivation technique, even if just the initial stage, as this basic foundation is the most crucial and demanding part, requiring immense energy and time for deduction!

No one knows how long it will take to complete these two essential tasks.

“Don’t be so pessimistic, how many brilliant geniuses can’t find any way or method to cross this heavenly chasm, while you at least hold a thread of opportunity. That alone surpasses many others.” Yuhong’s attitude was obviously more optimistic.
