Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1804 - 1371: Cultivation Methods
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
"May your return be met with fulfilled wishes and accomplished goals."
After seeing off Li Zhixuan, Li Zhirui soon bid farewell to Jiang Fengwu.
She had the same intention; she was preparing to venture out, seeking opportunities to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, only her destination was different. She wasn’t heading to The Void but rather staying within the Primal Spirit Realm.
After so many years have passed, the upgrade of the Primal Spirit Realm has been completed thoroughly—heaven and earth have become larger, spiritual energy has become richer, and the laws have become more abundant.
Thus, Jiang Fengwu doesn’t need to run to The Void like Li Zhixuan; the heavens have already evolved many brand-new array patterns.
As for the latter, she mainly wanted to use life-and-death duels to push through bottlenecks, and this wasn’t suitable in the Primal Spirit Realm, having not many suitable opponents, making it impossible to fight without reservation.
Therefore, she didn’t need to carry so many immortal pills and spiritual objects, and moreover, as an Earth Immortal Realm Array Master, unless a Heavenly Immortal intervenes, Jiang Fengwu truly isn’t afraid of encountering danger.
Whether by coincidence or due to the trend led by the two of them, in the subsequent period, Li Xianxun, Li Yunran, Li Yunzhuang, Li Xiuqi, and other clan members all began to leave the family, either to venture out or to seek opportunities.
Had it not been for the fact that the Divine cannot leave the Divine Domain for long, Xiaoqing, Cang, Li Mingyao, and others would likely have been unable to resist their urge to venture out.
But there’s no way around it; they originally chose the Divine Path either voluntarily or passively, enjoying various benefits and privileges, so how could they not pay a corresponding price?
"Jiu, if things continue developing this way, it seems that both Cang and I will forever be beyond the Heavenly Immortal Realm." One day, Xiaoqing sought out Li Zhirui to vent, hoping he could help break the stalemate.
Their Divine Path origins were initially divinely ordained by the Heavenly Court; later, through efforts, they became ordained by the Heavenly Dao. Over recent years, they have thoroughly refined the divinely ordained positions, entirely freeing themselves from the control of the Heavenly Court.
However, this transformation hasn’t enhanced their aptitude ceiling.
Although the speed of cultivation among the Divines is swift, in reality, aptitude is crucial!
But their aptitude differs from that discussed by cultivators, mainly influenced by the divine position and powers they control.
Furthermore, they are divided into Innate Gods and Acquired Gods; the former typically have better aptitude.
However, due to the suppression from the Heavenly Court, such divisive notions rarely spread externally.
But if the divine position is weak, and the powers aren’t substantial, the realm of the Divine will face limitations, much harder to overcome than the so-called bottleneck.
For individuals like Xiaoqing and Cang, as Wind God and Water God of vast territories, their divine positions and powers were sufficient to rapidly ascend to the Earth Immortal Realm, but advancing further seems improbable.
After hearing Xiaoqing’s lament, Li Zhirui thought for a moment, then said, "I understand your current situation; resolving it isn’t impossible."
"First, expand the divine position and powers; your current divine positions are too singular, and while specialization isn’t bad, finding ways to consolidate similar divine positions doesn’t mean you must become dispersed."
"Second, find ways to expand the Divine Domain to drive your cultivation forward; which option do you think is better?"
Xiaoqing knew these things clearly, but how could they be achieved? That was the problem that had perplexed him and Cang for a long time.
"Do you have any thoughts?" Li Zhirui inquired when he saw Xiaoqing remaining silent.
Xiaoqing shook his head, saying, "No, Cang and I have considered these issues but don’t know where to start."
Speaking of expanding the Divine Domain, the east belonged to the Sea Clan, the south held the Cave Abyss Sect, the north was bordered by the Changli Mountain Range and the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance, whereas the west had no major powers, but due to a fierce war, the land originally belonging to the Devil Race was ravaged, turning into a barren wasteland.
Previously, it was often said that the Li family was dwelling in isolation, that any major event wouldn’t affect the cornered Li family, but now, their desire for development also faced the constraint of their remote location.
They had attempted the path of expanding powers and divine positions but for some reason never succeeded.
Completely unlike how Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo expanded their powers easily by ordaining the Twelve Sun Gods, Twelve Month Time Gods, and Twenty-four Solar Terms Gods.
"I think you could try leaning towards the Evil God and Meteorological God aspects, like the Storm God or Rain God; or you could align with the Human Dao." Li Zhirui offered his suggestion.
"Okay, thank you, Jiu." Xiaoqing nodded thoughtfully, leaving with some ideas to discuss with Cang about how to refine their small notions. Perhaps the breakthrough opportunity lay within that.
When the cave mansion was left with only Li Zhirui again, he didn’t feel lost or uncomfortable; he seemed entirely unaffected.
After busying himself with resolving others’ difficulties, perhaps it’s time to focus on himself!
One morning, Li Zhirui departed from Mount Wanxian quietly, with no indication and no one knew where he went.
He only left a jade slip and a storage magical treasure for the Clan Leader, saying he was going to venture out for a time, that there was no need for concern about him, and left various Heavenly Immortal Rank spiritual objects to maintain good relationships with other Heavenly Immortal powers during his absence.
