Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1840 - 1389: Elimination

Wherever the Ice Soul Divine Light swept, the very fabric of space appeared to freeze. The two Heavenly Immortal Cultivators were forced to incessantly deploy defensive Divine Abilities to endure the relentless, invading frost.

Observing the conflict from a short distance, Jiang Fengwu’s expression shifted violently. She immediately retreated at her maximum speed, fleeing the area.

She had not anticipated that the shockwaves of this clash would reach her; it was clear the White Crane had poured its entire strength into that singular strike!

Even after escaping the immediate blast zone, Jiang Fengwu did not slow down. Instead, she pushed herself to fly even further away, sensing that the battle was reaching its conclusion and that remaining nearby would only invite peril.

Having unleashed the Ice Soul Divine Light, the White Crane wasted no time and fled the scene at its highest velocity.

The creature was no fool. While their powers were originally balanced, the arrival of a second Heavenly Immortal Cultivator had shattered that equilibrium. If the fight continued, the crane risked severe injury or death, as escaping their combined might would become nearly impossible.

The two human cultivators realized the White Crane intended to flee, but they were currently occupied with all their strength resisting the corrosive Ice Soul Divine Light. Unable to divert any effort to intercept him, they could only watch in frustration as he vanished.

With no one left to sustain it, the energy of the Ice Soul Divine Light quickly faded away.

"What a tragedy. That invaluable Five Virtues Phoenix Blood Fruit has been stolen away by that winged beast," one cultivator lamented with a heavy sigh.

Turning toward his savior, he addressed the other Heavenly Immortal: "I am deeply grateful for Fellow Daoist's timely intervention. Without your help, I would have been in a truly desperate state."

"We are both members of the human race; it is only right to assist when such situations arise," the newcomer replied with a shake of his head. "I have other matters to attend to, so I shall depart now."

...

Elsewhere, Jiang Fengwu—who had put a great distance between herself and the battlefield—sighed with regret. Watching the duel between the two Heavenly Immortals had failed to grant her any new insights.

Other than expanding her horizons and gaining a bit of experience, the trip had yielded nothing!

It felt as though her time during this period had been entirely squandered.

"It seems the path of Cultivation truly allows for no shortcuts; one must progress one step at a time," Jiang Fengwu murmured to herself.

Years of struggling to break through the Heavenly Immortal bottleneck had clearly begun to affect her Mental State. This was a dangerous sign, and she knew she had to realign herself.

Through this realization, she understood that her Dao Heart and Mental State possessed fundamental flaws.

The remedy Jiang Fengwu chose was simple and direct: the traditional Red Dust Heart Refining!

She would seal her own mana, live as a mortal, and immerse herself in the mundane world, using the myriad emotions of life to temper her Dao Heart.

She decided to begin at once!

Without a moment's hesitation, she placed a Sealing Spirit Array upon her Dantian and Sea of Consciousness. In an instant, her Earth Immortal Realm aura vanished completely.

Jiang Fengwu was truly ruthless with herself; she even went as far as sealing her physical strength, retaining only the power of an average martial artist.

In every measurable way, she had transformed into a mortal!

Truthfully, leaving herself without any protection was a massive gamble, particularly for a woman traveling alone.

Yet, this act served as a testament to her absolute resolve to achieve a breakthrough!

Noticing a mortal town several miles away, Jiang Fengwu set out on foot, officially beginning her journey of Red Dust Heart Refining.

Because she was currently in a wild forest, the trek on foot felt much longer than it looked.

By the time she reached the town, the sun was setting, and the city gates were on the verge of closing for the night.

Fortunately, she slipped through just in time. Had she been a moment later, she might have been forced to break the seal she had just placed on herself.

After all, on the Primordial Spirit Land, the wilderness at night is a death sentence for mortals!

Even in areas without powerful devil beasts, the high concentration of spiritual energy caused common wild animals to constantly evolve into vicious monsters.

Even a simple first-tier devil beast was enough to kill a mortal!

Unlike the wild, cities and villages were protected by special formations that suppressed spiritual energy, preventing local animals from absorbing it and evolving into threats.

In truth, from a mortal perspective, the collapse of the Human Dao dynasty was a disaster. Without the dynasty's protection, they lived under the constant shadow of devil beasts.

Back to the present!

As she entered the small town, Jiang Fengwu’s brow furrowed. Although it was only dusk, a deathly silence hung over the city. The only sounds were the occasional hurried, frantic footsteps and the whistling of the wind through the narrow backstreets.

The air was thick with a mixture of smells: cheap medicinal herbs, a trace of cooking food, and the unmistakable, lingering scent of rot!

"Something is wrong. This is far too strange. Could
