Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2020 1479: A Misunderstanding

In the domain of the West Continent, the massive clash between Demonic Tao and Ghost Clan had descended into a deadlock.

Demonic Tao refused to yield, unwilling to humble themselves by bargaining with a lesser power; to them, it would only spark derision from rival factions.

The Ghost Clan faced their own troubles too; suing for peace at this juncture would signal their exhaustion, potentially reigniting Demonic Tao's aggression.

In this tense standoff, the ferocity of the conflict drastically waned.

It might no longer qualify as a grand war, more like sporadic skirmishes.

Soon enough, Demonic Tao noticed the glaring issue: morale among their lesser demon cultivators had crashed, leaving them without any battle fervor.

With things having reached this point, no matter what Demonic Tao or Ghost Clan desired, the war was effectively concluded!

Yet neither party voiced it, as though awaiting some pivotal shift.

That anticipated shift hinged on whether the Sea Clan would press their assault on the West Continent!

During this brief respite, both factions seized the chance to rapidly rebuild their forces.

...

Time flies in the world of cultivation, a millennium gone in an instant.

Roar!

A thunderous dragon roar erupted across the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area in Shanhai State, reverberating through heavens and earth, resounding a thousand li away and capturing the gaze of countless creatures.

Simultaneously, unusual phenomena stirred in the distant Dragon Palace of the East Sea and the Heavenly Court upon the Nine Heavens.

"What has happened?"

Top-tier experts from both realms furrowed their brows lightly, shutting their eyes to probe the source of the disturbance.

The outcome surprised them; they pinpointed neither the disturbance's origin nor its cause, sensing only faintly that it emanated from over the East Sea.

All they could do was dispatch agents for a firsthand probe.

Only those close to the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area realized the powerful dragon cry originated from their own Water God, Qingcang!

"Could it be that Spirit Ancestor/Water Monarch is about to break through to Heavenly Immortal?" Many minds raced with this notion.

The roar brimmed with unmistakable delight, plain for all to hear, convincing them Qingcang was on the cusp of fortune.

For someone at peak Earth Immortal, what fortune outshone a breakthrough?

"If that's true, wouldn't the Li family soon gain another Heavenly Immortal?"

While Li family cultivators buzzed with thrill and delight, responses from others scattered in every direction.

Clearly, not all welcomed the Li family's rising might.

Sharper thinkers among cultivators even deemed the Li family remarkably exceptional.

Even though the Li family boasted few Heavenly Immortals now—far outmatched by ancient behemoths, let alone elites like Yuan Sect—

The Li family held an edge no rival could match: their rapid pace in forging Heavenly Immortals!

Every few thousand years, it appeared, another Heavenly Immortal emerged from the Li family.

This interval sounded vast, yet to Earth Immortals it was trivial—a handful of Tribulation Transcendences.

For Earth Immortals eyeing further ascension, failing three mere Tribulation Transcendences doomed hopes against fiercer Thunder Tribulation or Heart Demon Tribulation.

"If the Li family sustains this edge, in mere tens of thousands of years—or sooner—they might ascend to premier Immortal Tao dominance!"

Yet upon second thought, it felt improbable; intel showed Li family's Heavenly Immortal breakthroughs came mostly from elder generations—save Li Mingyao, the outlier.

Moreover, scanning ahead, no Li family member teetered at Earth Immortal peak.

Rumble——

While speculation swirled, ominous clouds amassed above Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area, thunder crashing as the din shattered their reveries.

"Is it really a Tribulation Transcendence breakthrough?!"

Outsiders paled in shock, whereas a Li family Earth Immortal cultivator ordered evacuation of nearby entities to shield the impending Thunder Tribulation from disruption.

Concurrently, fulfilling Li Debo's directive upon his posting to Wanling Island, he dispatched a Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Talisman to headquarters.

Li Debo swiftly got word, hastened to Li Zhirui's cave abode, and struck the Knocking Bell.

"Ancestor Rui, Wanling Island reports that Green Cang Spirit Ancestor is about to undergo Tribulation Transcendence!"

"Understood."

The very next moment, a gentle gust swept through, and Li Zhirui had vanished from Mount Wanxian.

...

Yet the spectacle that followed left sea-hovering cultivators utterly baffled.

From the cloud-choked skies descended not dread Tribulation Thunder, but a deluge of rain!

The sight turned bizarre and surreal in an instant.

No one had ever encountered—or witnessed—a Tribulation Transcendence summoning rainstorms instead of lightning.

"So did we actually misunderstand? The Water Monarch isn't undergoing a Tribulation Transcendence breakthrough? It's something else?" one cultivator whispered.

But who among those present lacked acute hearing and sight? The murmur reached every ear distinctly.

"Normally, as a Heavenly Tribulation forms, it radiates a terrifying oppression, but there didn't seem to be any just now…"

This sparked recollections of all the peculiarities from moments prior among the onlookers.

The atmosphere turned downright uncomfortable; gazes toward Li family members sharpened with growing scorn.

Roar——

A dragon roar exploded the tension, as a colossal Azure Dragon, spanning hundreds of zhang, erupted from ocean depths and rocketed skyward.
