Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1855: Chapter 1396: Pending Repairs_2

“Fellow Daoist, you are truly formidable!”

Upon hearing this, he was immediately filled with admiration. In this restless, profit-driven era, the existence of such a cultivator untouched by fame and gain is indeed exceedingly rare, perhaps only one of its kind.

“May I take a look at your records?” Li Zhirui asked again, his curiosity now piqued.

“Of course.”

As soon as the words were spoken, a Jade Slip appeared before him.

“In Qiongming State, according to local forces and resident Loose Cultivators, the number of cultivators has doubled in the past decade and is continuing to rise…”

“In Cliff Eagle State, the number of cultivators increased by 40%…”

“In Yuhuo State, the number of cultivators has been increasing each year over the past decade, with an average rise of up to 50%!”

The Jade Slip documented over thirty State Domains, indicating that the elder had spent many years on this matter.

After reading, Li Zhirui also fell into silence, this growth rate was indeed exaggerated! It’s possible that the huge crisis the elder mentioned might actually occur.

But soon, he recovered, dismissing the trace of worry in his heart.

He still believed in the Heavenly Dao of the Primal Spirit Realm, which wouldn’t stand idly by forever; there must be reasons unknown to them.

“Fellow Daoist, your righteousness is admirable!”

However, though he didn’t believe that the number of cultivators would continue to grow unchecked at this rapid pace, because the Heavenly Dao would surely intervene in the matter.

But at a time when most people were partying and reveling, the elder, who had the cultivation of a Human Immortal, was able to awaken from the indulgence and consistently travel throughout the East Continent for decades to investigate, was indeed worthy of everyone’s admiration!

“What righteousness is this? It’s just that my cultivation can hardly progress further, so I put my past cultivation time to use, contributing a trifling effort.” The elder waved his hand, dismissively saying.

“I’m traveling to broaden my horizons too, may I join you for a part of the journey? Do you mind?” Li Zhirui asked.

“With someone helping, I’d be more than happy, why would I mind?” The elder finally showed a slight smile on his indifferent face.

Thus, for the time being, he assisted the elder in some tasks.

If others knew, they would be astonished that Li Zhirui, a Heavenly Immortal Great Ability, was following the instructions of a Human Immortal Cultivator.

But he didn’t take it seriously at all, honestly learning beside the elder.

This was also a trial of the mundane world, encountering a variety of cultivators while collecting information, getting to know their stories, as well as the stories of others through them.

The journey didn’t bring a significant gain to Li Zhirui, but it indeed improved his Mental State and Dao Heart, though only slightly.

In the blink of an eye, several decades passed, the elder became even more aged, seemingly approaching the limit of his lifespan.

Of course, his real limit was still many years away, because after breaking through to the Immortal Realm, the concept of lifespan became quite negligible.

And the day had come for Li Zhirui to bid farewell.

“Thank you for your care and guidance over these years, I’ve greatly benefited. Unfortunately, I have other matters to attend to and cannot continue accompanying you in your investigation.” He said somewhat apologetically.

“I should be the one thanking you instead, you’ve helped me improve many tools and methods, making my work much easier.”

The elder said calmly, “All good things must come to an end, I look forward to our next meeting.”

“Yes, I look forward to it.”

But Li Zhirui silently said in his heart, after this parting, they would never meet again.

During the more than ten years they spent together, they never formally introduced themselves, unaware of each other’s identities.

To some extent, they were no different from strangers.

“Farewell!”

Saying so, he activated his Mana and vanished into the sky.

Li Zhirui did not return to Mount Wanxian immediately but instead, after changing his appearance, he continued to travel in the Primal Spirit Realm.

With his cultivation and strength, if he wished to take action, he could easily seize all the Spiritual Objects in a vast territory.

Of course, doing so would offend all other forces, and he was not so unwise.

…

One day, Li Zhirui was walking on the Earth, appreciating the beauty of nature, when suddenly, a Spirit Light flew by before him and quickly disappeared.

“Damn it!”

At the same time, he noticed that the Human Immortal Rank Spiritual Object he had inadvertently found in his hand had disappeared too.

“Stay here! Return the Spirit Flower you took!”

Saying this, he transformed into a red light, attempting to catch up.

Yet to his surprise, the mysterious cultivator was so skillful that they were about to escape the range of Li Zhirui’s Divine Sense!

As one flower blooms, two branches narrate their story.
