Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1850: 1394: Awaiting Repair

The Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance stationed outside received the update quickly and were struck with amazement. They had been entirely oblivious to the fact that entities of the Heavenly Immortal Realm resided within the Secret Realm.

However, their shock soon transformed into pure exhilaration!

The logic was simple: the superior the rank of the Secret Realm, the more magnificent the treasures they would harvest.

“A Secret Realm of the Heavenly Immortal rank... there are likely very few of these in the entire Primal Spirit Realm. This represents a monumental fortune for us!” One Heavenly Immortal beamed with a radiant smile, looking exceptionally pleased.

“Precisely! We must seize it, regardless of what it costs!” They were resolute in their determination to deploy personnel at any price, intending to purge the Secret Realm and bring it entirely under their dominion.

Once a consensus was reached, they reached out to other races to request reinforcements. Meanwhile, three Heavenly Immortals took command of the clansmen guarding the exterior and led the first wave inside.

A solitary Heavenly Immortal stayed behind, accompanied by dozens of subordinates, to wait for the arrival of additional forces.

...

Having just finished off the Earth Immortal beast and distributed the loot, Li Zhirui remained unaware that the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance’s interest in the Secret Realm had surged to a new peak!

Nevertheless, he realized that lingering within the Secret Realm for too long was a risk; eventually, he might find the exit sealed!

Based on the spiritual resonance from the Secret Realm within his Sea of Consciousness, he could stay for roughly another month. However, he resolved to depart in one month at the very latest.

If the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance decided to blockade the entrance and exit, he risked being caged inside like a cornered beast!

With the clock ticking, Li Zhirui moved with urgency, racing to gather as many Spiritual Objects as possible within the Secret Realm.

The previous relaxed pace of his journey vanished instantly. He stopped investigating the mysterious link between the Secret Realm and the Sword Qi, turning his full attention toward hunting for Spiritual Objects.

What was the best way to locate these treasures? One only needed to observe the density of the Spiritual Energy!

As a general rule, the thicker the Spiritual Energy, the more abundant the Spiritual Objects.

Li Zhirui utilized this principle, gliding swiftly across the seabed. He moved with caution to evade the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance Cultivators until he reached a location where the Spiritual Energy pooled heavily.

In contrast to the surrounding dark waters, the Spiritual Energy here was so concentrated that it produced a soft luminescence, making it easy to see the various Spiritual Objects flourishing there.

While each item seemed to have its treasure light suppressed, hiding its true value, Li Zhirui’s vast knowledge and experience allowed him to identify them instantly. He knew their names, their properties, and their specific uses.

Life Soul Grass, Nine-layered Dark Water Flower, Soul Nourishing Ginseng...

Every single one was a rare Spiritual Object, and none were below the Earth Immortal Grade!

“Hmm?”

Just as Li Zhirui prepared to move forward, a sudden premonition of danger gripped him. He immediately activated a Defense Divine Ability, which wrapped around him like a cocoon.

Clang——

A thunderous impact echoed as his body was hurled backward, though his rapid reflexes ensured he remained unharmed.

“A member of the Human race!?”

A raspy, ancient voice drifted through the water. A stooped, diminutive Elder clutching a walking stick slowly materialized from the shadows.

Li Zhirui did not dare show the slightest hint of arrogance or disrespect. He felt a crushing sense of dread from this individual; he suspected he was no match for this old man!

“Has this Secret Realm finally unsealed itself?” the Elder muttered to himself. He ignored the youth standing before him as if he had already seen through Li Zhirui’s entire Cultivation base.

“As a bounty for bringing this news to me, you may select three Spiritual Objects for yourself.” The Elder’s eyes, which had been cloudy and dim, now sparked with a piercing light.

Li Zhirui paused for a heartbeat before stepping forward. He meticulously harvested a Qiankun Xuan Yuan Grass, a Soul Cleansing and Heart Purifying Flower, and a Jade Marrow Soul Nourishing Grass. These were intended for replenishing mana, bolstering the spiritual soul, and mending wounds, respectively—and he possessed the exact Pill Recipes required to use them.

“My thanks to Senior for these generous rewards. This Junior shall take his leave.”

The aura radiating from this Elder was suffocating, and Li Zhirui had no desire to linger in his presence.

“Go then.”

The Elder gave a casual wave of his hand, adding, “This Secret Realm is far more complex than you realize. Tread carefully; not every old fellow you encounter will be as pleasant as I am.”

Li Zhirui was stunned by those words, his mind racing as he processed the hidden implications!

The claim that the Secret Realm was not simple implied deeper mysteries, while the warning about other "old fellows" suggested there were other masters of similar strength hiding within the depths.

Though his mind was flooded with questions, he didn't dare press for answers. He simply turned and departed in silence.

“At least he knows his place.” The Elder watched the retreating figure until it vanished, then turned back to the sea before him and unleashed a Divine Power.

Whoosh——

In a flash, the once-still waters were whipped into a frenzy of crashing waves. It looked as though the world was being flipped upside down, throwing the entire region into chaos.

Strangely, this violent upheaval was confined strictly to a ten-mile radius. Not a single ripple disturbed the water even an inch beyond that boundary.

Plop!

A sound like a stone dropping into a pond rang out, and the ten-mile section of the sea vanished instantly. It was as if a titanic hand had scooped it out, leaving nothing but a void.

A moment later, the surrounding ocean rushed in with a roar to fill the vacuum.

As Li Zhirui fled, his curiosity got the better of him, and he glanced back at the disturbance.

He was just in time to see the entire section of the ocean disappear into thin air.

“What kind of terrifying power is that!”
