Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1849: Chapter 1393: Seeking Death (2)

The final mural depicts the young man’s death.

Although the specific scene is not illustrated, it is not hard to infer that he did not die in the beast tide. Seeing his face full of shock and disbelief, it is highly possible that someone close to him took advantage of his unguarded moment to suddenly attack!

“So this Secret Realm was once a Spirit Realm established by the sect the young man belonged to? And the sword energy outside is also caused by some event within the Secret Realm?” Li Zhirui looked through all the murals, but his mind was still puzzled and confused.

“Perhaps there are other clues further on.” Since no answer emerged, he didn’t dwell on it but flew towards the nearby islands to see if there was anything else of value.

…

Just as Li Zhirui was exploring the Secret Realm, the anomalous situation of the Sword Mountain was also noticed by the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance.

“There actually exists a Secret Realm?!” exclaimed some Heavenly Immortals upon receiving the news.

“Quick! While the portal is still open, have people set up a Teleportation Array, so it’s easier to enter and exit in the future.” At least, they wouldn’t have to passively wait for the Secret Realm to be accessible as they do now.

No one knows how many years the Secret Realm will remain dormant. If the duration is too long, no matter how high the grade, its value will drop significantly.

In the eyes of many forces, a Secret Realm is essentially an independent and safe Medicine Garden, convenient for cultivating precious Spiritual Objects for their own.

Without a Teleportation Array, they must rely on the natural opening of the Secret Realm for entry. How could they develop the Secret Realm? Surely, they wouldn’t just toss in precious Spirit Seeds and wait for hundreds or thousands of years for mature Spiritual Objects!?

If planting Spiritual Objects were that simple, Spirit Plant Masters wouldn’t be necessary.

In contrast, the status of Spirit Plant Masters is not low and they are respected, as excellent Spirit Plant Masters not only accelerate the growth of Spiritual Objects but can also cultivate better Spirit Plants.

Speaking of which!

The Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance quickly took action, first preparing the Teleportation Array, then assigning a large number of clansmen to explore.

They were unaware that Li Zhirui had entered the Secret Realm ahead of them, assuming they were the only force within, so they didn’t dispatch Heavenly Immortals.

For a time, a large number of cultivators from the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance flooded into the Secret Realm.

The previously empty Secret Realm suddenly became much more lively.

At first, Li Zhirui didn’t notice, but he soon felt the Mana fluctuations and guessed that the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance had arrived!

However, as an outsider, he did not reveal himself and instead hid even more cautiously, unwilling to clash with the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance unless absolutely necessary.

After all, the Secret Realm’s exit was still within the Northern Domain controlled by the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance. To leave, he must pass through their territory.

Meanwhile, during the arrival of the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance cultivators, Li Zhirui found another clue.

The story still revolved around the young man, but in greater detail, describing how he transformed from a humble fisherman into a powerful and renowned Sword Immortal.

“No, that’s not right!”

Li Zhirui suddenly realized, exclaiming, “His power is already formidable, yet why does he continue to carry a broken sword?”

This suggests the broken sword is the key, though after the young man’s death, it mysteriously disappeared.

After inspecting all the islands, he directly dove into the sea, ceasing further exploration of related news.

From then on, he no longer pondered how the Secret Realm formed, but searched for Spiritual Objects in the sea, hoping his visit would be worthwhile, especially with cultivators from the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance present.

Splash——

In the dark sea, a strange sound suddenly echoed, as if a colossal creature moved along, displacing seawater uncontrollably to either side.

Soon, Li Zhirui saw its form — a behemoth over several hundred feet long, whose aura surpassed that of an Earth Immortal though not reaching a Heavenly Immortal’s level.

Roar!

The gigantic beast roared and launched an attack against Li Zhirui, disregarding the gap in their strengths.

“How dare you attack me!”

Seeing the attack flying toward him at great speed, Li Zhirui coldly shouted, immediately employing Divine Power to fend off its attack, while summoning countless giant trees to smash down upon it.

Wail!

The giant beast wailed in pain but did not retreat. Instead, its eyes turned red with fury as it charged toward him.

Unfortunately, it chose the wrong opponent. Although the beast’s power exceeded the Earth Immortal Realm, ultimately, it hadn’t broken through — it remained an Earth Immortal.

Were it not for its sheer size, he could have resolved the issue sooner.

Soon, the giant beast, battered and bruised, grew weaker. However, even so, it did not cease its assault or choose to flee.

“Hmm? Why does it persist so obstinately, unafraid even of death? Is there something on me that attracts it?” Seeing this, Li Zhirui harbored several suspicions.

If there’s anything unusual, it’s tracing back to the cave adorned with numerous murals, perhaps carrying some special aura? Thus drawing the giant beast’s attention.

“Since you’re seeking death, let me grant your wish and fulfill your desire!”

Li Zhirui, overwhelmed by constant harassment and barely controlling his anger, engaged in earnest, no longer holding back his strength, hoping to end quickly and avoid drawing more of the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance, preferring to remain concealed.

Awoooo!

The giant beast roared toward the heavens, but its voice grew fainter under his attack, its aura diminishing greatly, seemingly devoid of the chance to resist.

Logically, at this point, any creature with Spiritual Intelligence would seek to flee to preserve life.

Yet this beast did not do so, continuing its fight with Li Zhirui despite its injuries, draining its strength.

“Such terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuation, could it be a Heavenly Immortal exists in this Secret Realm?”

Not far away, several disciples of the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance cautiously hid aside, fearful of being caught in crossfire and thus meeting their demise.

This was neither exaggeration nor jest, but reality!

The battle between Li Zhirui and the giant beast was fierce, not something average cultivators could withstand.

Realizing such formidable presences lingered in the Secret Realm, their expressions soured considerably. Initially believing the Secret Realm wasn’t too dangerous, they now understood they had underestimated it!

“A Heavenly Immortal exists in the Secret Realm, we can’t possibly match them. What should we do now?”

“Of course, spread the news, so the clan members exercise caution henceforth.”
