Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1909 - 1423: Moved (Part 2)

Streams of crimson lotus heavenly flames plummeted from above, bolts of rumbling celestial lightning crashed down, wisps of spectral flames scorched inside her frame, the trio of calamities assaulted with savage force and exploded forth all together!

Yet, no hint of dread appeared in Li Zhixuan’s gaze as she confronted the three calamities, her demeanor steady like they weren’t even worth a glance. She lifted her arm and swung forth a blade; that fractured short sword, in an instant, unleashed a slash that rattled the firmament.

The blade’s glow stayed subdued, appearing devoid of might, but upon clashing with the celestial flames and lightning, it swiftly wiped them out!

Meanwhile, the sword heart inside her just quivered faintly, snuffing out every trace of the spectral flames on her form.

The pace was incredibly swift, making the three calamities look like mere phantoms, though the lingering traces of calamity essence around them told all observers it was no phantom or delusion, but an actual occurrence!

"This... this... how is this even possible!"

In the vicinity, a convoy soared through the air, figures bustling across the vessels, but right then, they plunged into quiet, struggling to accept the sight unfolding before them.

"This is the perfect example for us sword cultivators, proof of our might!" The eyes of a sword cultivator gleamed with fervor, his cheeks red with thrill, his frame shaking all over.

"This has to be a technique only a Heavenly Immortal could wield, doesn’t it?"

"No, she’s still at the Earth Immortal stage." An Earth Immortal rose to his feet, his tone laced with an unnoticed terror and awe.

But the moment those words escaped, the area fell quiet anew.

Even a Heavenly Immortal handling two calamities in one blow would stun everyone; what’s more, this was only the visible part, with no one aware of when this enigmatic, formidable cultivator had overcome the spectral flame calamity inside.

And to learn now that she was just an Earth Immortal?

If they hadn’t witnessed it themselves, no amount of tales from others would convince them, right?

"But this figure should advance to Heavenly Immortal soon, maybe it won’t be long before she tackles the thunder calamity." The Earth Immortal tacked on another remark.

This comment eased the group a bit, though barely, since even among Heavenly Immortals, few could pull off moves like that.

As for shattering every spell with a single sword swing, how many truly hold that ability, and how many have ever seen it done?

"I’m curious which mighty force raised this prodigy; not yet a Heavenly Immortal yet already matching their power, skills like these really stir jealousy."

"If only we could have her as our teacher..."

The gathering buzzed with heated talk, but no one risked any bold remarks, afraid she might catch them and unleash calamity on their heads.

...

After handling her calamities, Li Zhixuan didn’t hang around the area, nor did she glance at the cultivators who’d seen her breakthrough, instead turning into blade light and vanishing in a flash.

She had to restore herself fully now, to meet the coming thunder calamity at her peak!

Strangely, a feeling told her this approaching thunder calamity wouldn’t be straightforward, so she needed solid preparations, lest she face the danger of perishing.

Li Zhixuan held considerable strength right now, but against the Heavenly Dao, she remained a mere insect, ready to be squashed! How could she afford to slack on the thunder calamity?

Those bold enough to act carelessly were either overwhelmingly strong or recklessly stupid.

At minimum, she knew her own limits clearly and wouldn’t throw herself into pointless death.

Quietness ruled the entire journey.

Soon enough, Li Zhixuan arrived back at Mount Wanxian.

Though she slipped in without fanfare, she headed straight to knock on Li Zhirui’s door.

Knock knock knock—

A sharp and ringing, yet quietly deep, tranquil, and balanced chime resounded, alerting Li Zhirui who was busy forging an Immortal Pill.

He stayed focused despite the abrupt chime, avoiding any slip in his pill-making; his hands kept firm, his incantations precise, pressing on with his refining process steadily.

The Knocking Bell tolled just once, signaling the caller’s matter wasn’t pressing, so Li Zhirui naturally refused to let this valuable set of Spiritual Medicine spoil.

Li Zhixuan waited patiently by the entrance, ringing the Knocking Bell again every fifteen minutes.

Roughly an hour passed before Li Zhirui finished crafting this batch of Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pills.

By the pill’s title, folks might assume it mended the Spiritual Soul, but in truth, it served as a superb Healing Elixir, top-tier quality, versatile and thorough!

Be it injuries to the Spiritual Soul or the body, it could mend them effectively, but its standout trait was preserving the final breath of someone on the brink of death.

That’s the reason behind its name, Soul Revival Pill.

Still, crafting a pill with such broad power demanded rare Spiritual Objects that were tough to collect, plus the forging challenge was sky-high, beyond most alchemists’ reach.

But Li Zhirui not only pulled it off but produced five Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pills at once; news of this would surely spark a uproar.

Ever since his ascent to Heavenly Immortal and the spread of his fame as a Heavenly Immortal Rank Alchemy Master, visitors sometimes sought his help to craft certain Heavenly Immortal Rank Elixirs.

Be they acting solo or for their supporting factions, Li Zhirui couldn’t turn down every request.

That said, he didn’t accept all, only committing to those Heavenly Immortal Rank Elixirs within his grasp, thus avoiding too much drain on his cultivation efforts.

Regarding picking up fresh Pill Recipes, he cared less these days.

Before, it helped gather Spirit Stones and boost his cultivation pace, but post-breakthrough to Heavenly Immortal, pills’ two key benefits had faded a lot for Li Zhirui, so he shifted his focus away.

In the end, he’d always viewed alchemy as a means to support his cultivation, not like certain alchemists who prized it above all, even over their own growth.

Now, onto the present!

"Enter, what’s the matter?" Li Zhirui sealed the Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pills in a Jade Bottle prior to swinging open the door for the waiting family member.

"Jiu." Li Zhixuan hurried in.

"Zhixuan?" Catching her voice, he snapped his head up, spotting right away the gash on her face, as it stood out stark and gruesome.

On his next look, he noticed the shattered sword at her side.

"What’s gone wrong with you?"

The gash didn’t rattle him too much, seeming grave but fixable; the shattered sword, however, hit Li Zhirui hard, making him leap up and rush over in a few quick strides.

For he recognized it as Li Zhixuan’s Lifebound Spirit Sword, tied deeply to her very existence!

Currently, she may have survived by a hair, but pushing ahead might no longer be feasible.

"Don’t fret, Jiu, it’s nothing major." To his surprise, Li Zhixuan just gave a soft chuckle, free of any despair or fatigue, showing instead a sense of ease.

"Nothing major?"

At those words, Li Zhirui furrowed his brow unavoidably, then examined her closely, astonishingly discovering her presence and cultivation hadn’t weakened or slipped back from her Lifebound Spirit Sword’s damage.

"What took place? In these years wandering The Void, what event led to such a massive shift?"

"Jiu, time’s short for me, I can’t go into full details. This Jade Slip holds the story of my years away. Read it, and you’ll get it."

Li Zhixuan shook her head, her words hurried, "I’m here to request some Pills from you, to let me heal fast, so I can tackle the coming thunder calamity at full strength!"

"Plus, I require plenty of spirit-restoring and healing Elixirs," all aimed at boosting her odds of passing the calamity and making it through alive.

Noting her urgency, Li Zhirui grasped the situation at once, knowing her thunder calamity loomed close, so he wasted no time, pulling out various Elixirs from his Storage Magical Treasure for her.

"Will this suffice? If not, I can whip up a few more batches of Elixirs for you shortly."

"It’s plenty, thanks, Jiu!" Li Zhixuan felt deeply grateful for his help.
