Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1927 - 1432: Worries (Part 2)

Following Li Mingtang's presentation, the remaining clan members came forward in succession to display their spiritual items, though their volumes and grades proved utterly commonplace, paling in comparison to Li Mingtang and the ones prior.

Before long, every clan member had unveiled their spoils and undergone the review, with only Li Guangxing left, as he'd been hastily mending his wounds since coming back and hadn't yet revealed his own hauls.

In the end, a fellow clan member on friendly terms with him advanced to nudge him along, causing him to gradually wrap up his recovery process.

"Many thanks to Ancestor Rui for the life-saving grace!"

Upon opening his eyes, his initial utterance was one of deep appreciation toward Li Zhirui, as he bowed low with utmost reverence.

"No worries, but I am quite curious, how did you end up in such a state?"

Li Zhirui dismissed it with a wave; having spotted him, he was bound to lend aid, or else wouldn't he appear as a freeloader sustained by the clan?

It looked like he contributed immensely to the clan's progress, while the clan gave him scant support in return, but actually, the clan supplied something vital: a secure setting rich in spiritual energy for cultivation!

Not to forget how the clan gathered loads of spiritual items and spirit seeds for him, freeing him up to focus more on his practice.

But let's return to the matter at hand.

Li Guangxing triggered his storage artifact, pulling out the contents from it. Initially, there emerged scores of bloodied cadavers, apparently without opportunity to extract the spiritual items, yet too valuable to discard, so he'd lugged them along.

Stacked in a heap, they looked rather daunting.

Next came a few jade cases, and unlike the earlier Devil Beast remains, these spiritual items appeared far more refined and valuable this round.

"Ancestor Rui, Clan Leader, these are my harvests from the Outer World."

While saying this, he employed mana to pass the jade cases over to Li Zhirui, letting him inspect them firsthand.

He paid no heed to such small formalities and simply unsealed the jade cases sequentially.

"Hmm?"

Within the jade cases, surprisingly, lay Human Immortal Rank spiritual items! And every single jade case held one of Human Immortal Rank.

These counted as valuable spiritual items for them, but to Li Zhirui, they weren't anything special; he could snag multiple types like these effortlessly from the space.

Of course, that didn't mean these spiritual items lacked value; after all, they hailed from the Outer Realm, unseen before in the Primal Spirit Realm, though success in cultivating them remained uncertain.

...

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.

Through years of dedicated seclusion, Li Zhixuan's inner wounds had at last mended fully!

She could hardly suppress her excitement to end this extended retreat, already envisioning battles against the void's turmoil to hone her skills.

Yet right after emerging, she spotted the jade slip Li Zhirui had placed there.

Nothing extraordinary or rare was inscribed on it, merely a message for Li Zhixuan to hold off briefly upon exiting isolation, since he had key issues to address.

As it came from Li Zhirui, she wouldn't dream of overlooking it, and venturing into the Void for practice could wait; she ought to stock up on healing and mana-recovery pills beforehand.

Though Li Zhixuan bore a Chaos God Demon Dao Body, it wasn't fully realized yet; she couldn't ingest chaotic spiritual energy outright, but maybe after advancing further, she'd bypass pills and draw chaotic spiritual energy straight from the void.

At that stage, she could linger in the void indefinitely, utterly unbound.

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui had just come back alongside the clan members from the interim outpost, assessing the yields and spiritual items.

"This harvest is quite decent, and this is only the first exploration of the Outer World; in the future, the clan can specifically open the space crack to this world."

Having reviewed the clan members' gains, he also produced the "Yin Yang Scripture" he'd acquired, while the dual cultivation technique derived by descendants had already been sorted out by him.

"Hmm?"

Right as Li Zhirui prepared to head back to his cave dwelling, he abruptly felt the jade slip he'd given Li Zhixuan activate, curving his lips into a grin. He vanished in a flash.

When he reappeared, he stood at the doorway of Li Zhixuan's cave mansion.

Knock, knock—

Worried that Li Zhixuan might be deep in her cultivation method, Li Zhirui carefully activated the Knocking Bell, steering clear of any interruption to her practice from an abrupt arrival.

"Jiu!"

Soon enough, Li Zhixuan swung the door wide, her face lighting up with joyful surprise at the sight of him, as she exclaimed.

"Judging by your look, seems like your internal injuries have healed, planning another venture into the void, aren’t you?"

After a brief halt, Li Zhirui continued: "And are you looking to perfect your Chaos God Demon Dao Body?"

"Jiu, how do you know that?" She gazed at him in wide-eyed wonder.

"Because I’m also seeking ways to enhance my own aptitude to become a Chaos God Demon, so I could tell your situation."

Next, he detailed the reason her tribulation had been so ferocious with thunder.

In essence, Li Zhixuan's core had undergone a profound shift; she transcended the bounds of a mere Primal Spirit Realm entity.

All these realizations dawned on her only later, but for Li Zhirui to pinpoint it so precisely just from watching her thunder tribulation and drawing on prior knowledge truly amazed her.

Suddenly, an idea struck Li Zhixuan: "Jiu, are you already quite advanced in your research on the Chaos God Demon Dao Body?"

Only then could he so readily discern her true nature.

Li Zhirui affirmed with a nod, passing her the techniques he'd devised.

In eager haste, Li Zhixuan scanned them with her Divine Sense, and after quite a while, she pulled it back, her features alight with awe and joy: "Jiu, are these methods you deduced? They’re incredible!"

Her existing Chaos God Demon Dao Body stemmed from sheer fortune, and it fell short of completion.

She'd lacked any solid path or guidance for advancing it, yet now a full array of techniques lay before her! She couldn't fathom the time and resources this would spare her.

While Heavenly Immortal Cultivators escaped lifespan concerns, breakthroughs grew vastly tougher; cultivating sooner might lead to earlier success.

"What do you think of these methods? Do they seem like castles in the air?" Li Zhirui inquired with concern.

Others might not realize it, but how could he ignore the truth? These techniques drew from his personal trials and fragments of past-life recollections.

He'd never encountered a Chaos God Demon, nor grasped the essence of such a being.

Thus, Li Zhirui had lingered in doubt, fearing the methods appeared flawless yet proved shallow and baseless at core.
