Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1768: Chapter 1353: Understanding

However, Li Zhirui faced a Wind and Fire Tribulation. Although the fire was extinguished, the wind disaster remained. The gale howled, and countless Wind Blades swirled and ravaged around him, seemingly wanting to slice him into thousands of pieces.

And previously, the giant waves that could easily deal with the fire disaster were now somewhat ineffective against the Wind Blades. The giant waves were easily pierced through, and the sharp Wind Blades charged straight at him.

From the outside, he looked as if he was completely engulfed by the storm, trapped in an extremely dangerous situation.

“Failed?”

The cultivators watching from afar hadn’t seen any movement for a long time and regrettably thought to themselves that an Earth Immortal would fall like this.

“Ultimately, it’s because this senior was too arrogant to return only when both calamities arrived, and his luck was just average, unfortunately encountering the Wind and Fire Tribulation.”

A Human Immortal sighed and said: “As the saying goes, ‘The wind aids the fire, the fire enhances the wind’s might’, this is a punitive-type tribulation, with power far exceeding the ordinary. With the two tribulations reinforcing each other, the power is further enhanced, leading to this outcome.”

Perhaps having witnessed the fall of an Earth Immortal whose Realm far surpassed theirs, the crowd was filled with emotions for a while.

“Wait!”

Suddenly, a startled shout came from an Individual Immortal: “Look quickly! The wind disaster has changed!”

Everyone looked up and saw that within the originally azure Gang Wind storm, a new hue had suddenly appeared.

Due to the similarity between blue and green, and because the green was sparse at first, they hadn’t observed closely, directly concluding that Li Zhirui had already fallen within the storm.

But in reality, at the moment the wind disaster attacked, he changed the spell, causing ancient trees to rise from the ground, transforming into a dense forest that securely protected him from the wind disaster’s assault.

However, because of his prior excessive consumption dealing with the fire, Li Zhirui could only barely support himself initially, buying time for his recovery.

This was why the external cultivators believed he had already fallen.

If it hadn’t been for the wind disaster’s delay in dissipating, and him regaining substantial Mana to counterattack, they might not have noticed anything unusual.

Hundreds and thousands of ancient trees, nourished by abundant Spiritual Energy, grew luxuriantly, transforming into towering trees in an instant. Their branches intertwined and, under Li Zhirui’s control, actually formed a fortress!

No matter how the wind raged, the fortress stood firm, unaffected.

He didn’t counterattack but merely sat within the fortress, waiting for the wind disaster to dissipate on its own.

Over time, the power of the wind disaster weakened continuously, but it seemed reluctant to dissipate. At the last moment, it stirred up a terrifying colossal storm, attempting to destroy the fortress and obliterate Li Zhirui!

Unfortunately, so much time had passed, and he had regained significant Mana. Under the Mana’s reinforcement, the tree-made fortress became as hard as gold and stone, incredibly difficult to destroy.

Woo—

Finally, the wind disaster could only dissipate into a whimper, completely vanishing.

“Phew!”

Li Zhirui let out a long sigh of relief, feeling much lighter and more at ease.

Facing two calamities simultaneously was no small test for him, but thankfully, he ultimately passed through the ordeal.

“Fortunately, I didn’t return too late. If I had waited for hundreds more years and faced three calamities together, their combined power might have exceeded that of a Thunder Tribulation in the Heavenly Immortal Realm?”

In this way, his severe injuries at that time forced him to return to the Primal Spirit Realm, which ended up being a blessing in disguise.

Li Zhirui shook his head wryly, acknowledging the saying that fortune and misfortune come hand in hand.

Gathering his scattered thoughts, he flew straight in the northeast direction, paying no mind to the group of astonished cultivators in the distance.

“I never expected this senior to overcome such a perilous tribulation, and from the looks of it, without suffering significant injuries?”

“Truly impressive! I wonder when I will have such strength.”

“Hey! Better not indulge in wishful thinking. How can we compare to him?”

“Hmph! Who can say for sure what the future holds?!”

After a series of emotions, aspirations, and disputes, these strangers went their separate ways, striving diligently for their futures.

…

The journey was silent!

After some time traveling, Li Zhirui finally returned to the long-missed Mount Wanxian!

The current Mount Wanxian was no longer a solitary peak but a chain of overlapping and undulating mountain ranges.

At this moment, a ray of Chaoyang shone down, the golden sunlight awakening the myriad creatures slumbering in the mountains. Birds chirped in harmony with the roars of beasts, presenting a scene of flourishing vitality.

Compared to when he left, the Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain Range had grown taller and more majestic, and the Spiritual Energy was much richer. Clearly, the family’s development had been excellent over the years; otherwise, they wouldn’t have had the resources to expand such a vast mountain range.

Upon truly entering Mount Wanxian, a feeling of both unfamiliarity and familiarity surged in him; the family’s changes during his absence were certainly not small.

The number of clan members continually increased, their strength generally improved, appearing prosperous and flourishing. More importantly, it had the undertones of an established power!

After years of development and accumulation, the family was no longer the newly established Earth Immortal power it once was.

Apart from Li Zhirui and Li Zhixuan of his generation who had early on achieved Earth Immortal status, and due to special reasons Li Mingyao hadn’t fallen much behind, individuals like Li Yunran, Li Dahong, Li Mingwei, and others had also successively broken through to Earth Immortal in recent years.
