Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2250 - 1594: Confirmation

In order to verify this discovery, Li Zhirui went to several Spirit Lands he had visited before when he chose the Tongtian Sect’s Mountain Gate.

The result left him quite shocked!

Because these Spirit Lands that had originally been utterly ordinary now counted as feng shui treasure grounds and had been occupied by certain powers.

”Is this anomaly happening only in Mingzhou, or is the Spiritual Energy of the entire Tao Spirit Realm gradually increasing?”

Suspended in mid-air, Li Zhirui frowned slightly. If it were only the former, the problem would not be too serious, but if it were the latter, then all living beings in the entire Tao Spirit Realm would be dragged into it!

Because the only situation he could think of was the world ascending!

But the process of a world’s promotion is definitely not peaceful and harmonious; on the contrary, it is extremely bloody and cruel.

Li Zhirui had personally experienced a world ascension once. For the entire world, it was undoubtedly a great blessing, but for the living beings dwelling within, it was incomparably brutal.

Because before that, they had to survive a great calamity that swept over all living beings!

It was both to clear out the accumulated filth and impurities, and also to obtain the Spiritual Energy feedbacked to heaven and earth after the death of a vast number of living beings.

In ordinary times, the Heavenly Dao at most imposes some tests, but in this critical period, all living beings are nourishment for the world’s promotion.

And even if, when the time came, Li Zhirui wanted to live in seclusion and not show himself, or directly leave the Tao Spirit Realm to avoid this trouble, he likely would not be able to.

Because the Tongtian Sect now was no longer that obscure little force it had been when rebuilt; looking across the whole of Mingzhou, it could already be called a dominant hegemon!

He himself was entangled in massive karma, and the Heavenly Dao of this Realm would not allow him to leave.

”Let’s hope I’m making a fuss over nothing and overthinking this.”

But to be safe, carrying this doubt, Li Zhirui left Mingzhou, preparing to investigate the situation in the nearby great continents.

Although he was not familiar with the other continents, he could still confirm the conjecture in his heart by other means.

Heading all the way south, he soon arrived at Guangzhou, the most prosperous and powerful territory in the northern regions of the Immortal Tao.

In Mingzhou, Mystic Immortal Cultivators were extremely rare, likely not exceeding the number of two palms, but in Guangzhou, just the Profound Immortals on the surface numbered more than twenty or thirty!

Not to mention ’minor’ cultivators like Heavenly Immortals and Earth Immortals—their numbers were even greater.

And the overall density of Spiritual Energy in Guangzhou was nearly twice as rich as in Mingzhou.

Immortal Cities, Spirit Lands, and Marketplaces could be seen every so often along the way.

Li Zhirui casually entered an Immortal City, found the largest and most prosperous restaurant there, ordered a pot of rather expensive Spiritual Wine, and had someone call for the Shopkeeper.

”I wonder what request this honored guest has?” As soon as the Shopkeeper arrived, a smile hung on his face as he bowed slightly and asked.

He did not conceal anything and directly said, ”I want to inquire about some hidden matters. Where can I go to obtain information?”

Perhaps ordinary cultivators did not know the gray zones where information was traded, but a Shopkeeper managing such a restaurant could not possibly be ignorant of them.

Li Zhirui could have chosen to spend some time slowly investigating, but why should he waste his precious time on this?

What he was doing now was merely spending a few Spirit Stones; to him, it was not worth mentioning in the least.

When the Shopkeeper heard this, he only gave him a slightly surprised look, but did not say any unnecessary words. Instead, he directly informed him of the place via voice transmission.

”This pot of Spiritual Wine hasn’t been used. You can deal with it yourself.”

With that said, Li Zhirui rose and left.

The meaning behind these words was very simple: the Shopkeeper could choose to accept this pot of Spiritual Wine, or the more than a thousand Spirit Stones spent on it.

Whoosh—

The main hall of the restaurant instantly became even livelier.

”Spiritual Wine worth over a thousand Spirit Stones, and he just leaves it? That’s way too extravagant!”

”Look at where he’s going. A mere thousand Spirit Stones naturally isn’t worth his attention.”

Most of the cultivators staying on the first floor were Loose Cultivators. Even though quite a few of them had already become Individual Immortals, they were still strapped for resources, which was why they were so astonished.

”As for that senior’s Realm, I didn’t dare probe too carefully, but at the very least he’s a Heavenly Immortal.” Suddenly, a cultivator spoke up.

”No wonder. If that’s the case, then it makes sense.”

Some cultivators were also curious about the information he had gone to seek and said, ”What do you think that senior wants to know?”

”How could we know? But it definitely isn’t anything minor, otherwise he wouldn’t have come here from somewhere else to collect information.”

At this, everyone suddenly became energized and joined in the discussion one after another.

...

The Shopkeeper did not stop them. He simply picked up the Spiritual Wine and turned toward the rear of the restaurant, heading for a forbidden area where no one was allowed to enter.

”Master, a Mysterious Immortal just came to the restaurant and asked me about the location of Wenfeng Building.”

Wenfeng Building was the largest intelligence organization in Guangzhou. It had originally been a Sect, but a Sect Leader of some generation created a peculiar Secret Technique that could ’hear the wind and know events.’

Coupled with their original talent for Heavenly Calculation Deduction, they gradually became an organization that wore the skin of a Sect but, in essence, specialized in selling information.

”A Profound Immortal?”

The Master, whose attitude had been somewhat indifferent, suddenly sat up straight, his expression turning serious as he asked, ”Did you recognize who he was?”

”If I’m not mistaken, he should be the Sect Leader of the Tongtian Sect in northern Mingzhou.” The Shopkeeper had already recognized him on the way over.
