Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2050 1494: Emergence

Actually, Lin Changqing's cultivation realm had achieved flawless completion ages ago; he could release his aura whenever he desired, calling down the Heavenly Tribulation at will.

Yet, he refrained from such a gamble because his mind had suffered unexpected harm long before!

Therefore, despite Lin Changqing's strong belief in conquering the Thunder Tribulation, he had spent years secluded in his Cave Heaven, suppressing his presence and masking his destiny from the heavens.

This stemmed from his lack of assurance in overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation, fearing he might even fall to it.

As Li Zhirui matured and his fame spread far and wide, word got out that the Purification Principle masterfully curbs Heart Demons!

The issue lay in Lin Changqing practicing the pure Wood Principle, not the Purification Principle; so despite knowing its suppressive power, he remained powerless to act.

In his current state, he avoided revealing himself to sense the Heavenly Dao, terrified that any aura leak would instantly draw the Heavenly Dao's gaze, brewing the tribulation right away.

Lin Changqing refused to cower in a Cave Heaven forever. Besides, delaying the Heavenly Tribulation only amplified its might over time!

In the end, he turned to external aids for help.

Over these years, he directed the Sect to gather Purifying Spiritual Objects, using select rare ones to forge a Magic Artifact safeguarding his Spiritual Soul.

The Chaos Spirit Jade acquired by Xiaxian Sect through immense effort was actually bought at auction specifically for Lin Changqing.

One should note that the Chaos Attribute encompasses everything, blending seamlessly with other laws; its top-tier quality proved vital to his scheme.

Sure enough, merging Chaos Spirit Jade with vast amounts of Purifying Spiritual Objects, plus all of Lin Changqing's amassed Merit, yielded the Divine Soul Treasure Lotus, capable of quelling the Outer Heaven Demon.

Above all, it offered flawless defense, blocking the Outer Heaven Demon from pulling him into the Heart Demon Illusion Realm!

...

Moments ticked by relentlessly, but silence persisted from inside.

For the onlookers outside, the prolonged wait felt agonizing; so much time elapsed without conquering the Heart Demon Tribulation—had their Patriarch failed to hold on?

Unbeknownst to them, the Divine Soul Treasure Lotus shielded him completely from the Heavenly Demon's assaults, while Lin Changqing's wounded mind prevented him from counterattacking fiercely, leaving the Outer Heaven Demon unscathed; thus, a tense stalemate gripped both.

They had no choice but to wait it out until the Outer Heaven Demon's summoning period ended. Then, the Heavenly Dao would eject it forcibly, marking his success in the Heart Demon Tribulation!

At last, the moment came: Heavenly Dao Power descended, shackling the Outer Heaven Demon and banishing it precisely as Lin Changqing anticipated.

A sudden ray of white-gold Spirit Light burst from the Lotus Platform under Lin Changqing, slamming into the Outer Heaven Demon.

He grasped the opportunity during its binding to strike, aiming to sap its strength further.

Furthermore, similar to the Thunder Tribulation—where deadly lightning turns to boundless pure Spiritual Energy post-endurance, fueling the cultivator's advance—the Heart Demon Tribulation followed suit.

It posed a lethal trial yet harbored profound boons.

Failure meant the Heart Demon devouring one's Spiritual Soul and all insights, but triumph converted the Heart Demon into soul-nourishing essence.

Such a deadlock, where neither prevailed, was extraordinarily uncommon.

Lin Changqing struck abruptly; the Outer Heaven Demon, caught off guard, forfeited half its body!

Right then, as the Heavenly Dao expelled the Outer Heaven Demon from the realm, the surviving half fueled his Spiritual Soul's enhancement.

"Roar!"

A savage roar of torment erupted, its eyes flooding with blood, glowing crimson. Even as its form dissolved into void, the seething fury etched on its visage shone vividly.

"Curse you! I will remember your aura—may you never again attempt another Tribulation Transcendence, nor step foot in the Void, or I shall make you pay dearly!"

In the vast emptiness of Lin Changqing's Sea of Consciousness, the Outer Heaven Demon's vengeful bellow resounded one final time.

But he dismissed it entirely, sparing not a thought.

After all, he planned no departure from the Primal Spirit Realm anytime soon, and even then, the Void's infinite chaos made locating him impossible for this Outer Heaven Demon.

With the Heart Demon Tribulation conquered, Lin Changqing's heavenly tribulation finally ended.

The oppressive tribulation cloud, stretching over a hundred li, morphed into pristine Spiritual Energy, flooding his body to propel him into the Profound Immortal realm.

Boom!

Instantly, a horrifying pressure exploded from Lin Changqing's form; despite the distance, all felt throats constricted, waves of suffocating death aura overwhelming them—some disciples convulsed in panic.

Luckily, he swiftly composed himself, withdrawing the breakthrough's intimidating aura, letting the disciples gasp back from death's edge.

"Congratulations to Patriarch Changqing on breaking through to Profound Immortal, advancing even further on the path of cultivation! Hereafter the Great Tao lies open, and your journey shall be unimpeded!"

Under the Sect Leader's lead, tens of thousands of disciples chorused their felicitations.

Like thunderous tides, their voices rolled outward, reaching everywhere. Numerous cultivators drawn by the distant Thunder Tribulation commotion, yet ignorant of details, caught every syllable.

"Profound Immortal?!"

Hearing this, distant cultivators first froze in bewilderment.

Even after the Primal Spirit Realm's long elevation, such a realm remained obscure to most; its abrupt emergence baffled more than it awed.

Rival spies, however, quaked in terror, desperate to relay this intelligence to their sects and clans.

"Is there really such a Profound Immortal realm in the Primal Spirit Realm?" one loose cultivator wondered aloud.

Thankfully, knowledgeable folks in the throng explained swiftly, enlightening the masses on Profound Immortal's true nature.

"Profound Immortal surpasses even Heavenly Immortal! With such a powerhouse in Xiaxian Sect, aren't they now the supreme force across the Eastern Continent's coast?!"

"Indeed it does! A Profound Immortal guardian ensures Xiaxian Sect's prosperity, benefiting us all."

Loose cultivators buzzed with casual talk, oblivious to the scenario's true profundity.

Their shallow horizons and low realms blinded them to the complexities at play.

Back in Xiaxian Sect, though Lin Changqing secluded himself in his Cave Heaven to consolidate his realm, the disciples brimmed with wild exhilaration, hearts pounding long after.

"Sect Leader, should we not hold a great celebration to honor the Supreme Elder's breakthrough to Profound Immortal?" an elder suggested.

"Indeed, Sect Leader! It is more than a celebration—it is a chance to display our might to the world."

"Just look at the Li family; hosting but a single Heavenly Immortal ceremony brought them countless itinerants, and each year they collect a handsome fortune in Spirit Stones because of it."
