Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2051 1494: Emergence_2

The other Elders chimed in successively, adding their voices to the persuasion. They all appeared righteous and solemn, seemingly focused solely on the Sect's growth, yet their real intentions were anything but pristine.

One should realize that during this celebration, countless valuable Spiritual Objects would undoubtedly be offered. With merely a bit of cunning, they could harvest substantial benefits.

Moreover, such an event would inevitably draw numerous mighty forces and cultivators. What immense honor and splendor! This idea alone invigorated many Elders from head to toe!

The Sect Leader saw right through their petty plots. Hadn't he pulled similar stunts in his younger days? Only after ascending to Sect Leader, wary of the poor example it set, did he cease such actions.

He raised no opposition to their suggestion for the celebration, yet its actual occurrence hinged entirely on Lin Changqing's personal choice.

Should he refuse, there would be no point in dwelling on it further.

After all, in breakthrough ceremonies like this, the key highlight is the Dao lecture delivered by the breakthrough cultivator. Absent that, what significance would it hold?

...

The report of a Profound Immortal Ancestor emerging in the Xiaxian Sect blended seamlessly with the pervasive winds of Heaven and Earth, swiftly disseminating outward in every direction.

Be it novice cultivators fresh on the Immortal Tao path or seasoned Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals—word reached them all promptly.

"Is it really true?"

The initial response from most cultivators to this tidings was skepticism and disbelief.

This reaction was understandable, since for years, no Great Ability had broken through to Profound Immortal Rank anywhere across the Primal Spirit Realm. None anticipated the inaugural Profound Immortal arising from the Xiaxian Sect, a mere lower-tier power among the elite forces.

"Of course it's true; this came straight from within the Xiaxian Sect, not some idle gossip."

"Who would've imagined the Xiaxian Sect's prowess, birthing a Profound Immortal cultivator ahead of all other powers!"

"But with the Xiaxian Sect now boasting a Heavenly Immortal, who can predict the shifts along the East Sea Shore? If conflict erupts, what then for us?"

These words plunged the gathering into immediate hush.

This was precisely the peril Loose Cultivators faced. Once war ignited, rootless wanderers like them often ended up as mere fodder—slain arbitrarily by stray strikes from above.

The Loose Cultivators planning to venture into Yunxia State grew hesitant at once, abandoning any bold moves.

...

Precisely as Lin Changqing achieved Profound Immortal breakthrough, Li Zhirui, secluded in his Cave Mansion, abruptly sensed a sharp surge in the evil filth permeating Heaven and Earth.

"Eh?"

This startling shift seized his focus instantly. He promptly dispatched a Sound Transmission Talisman to Li Debo, pressing him to probe recent major happenings in the Primal Spirit Realm.

Li Zhirui then endured the wait—half a month slipped by.

Finally, on this day, the intelligence arrived.

"Someone from the Xiaxian Sect advanced to Profound Immortal Realm?!"

Enlightenment dawned on Li Zhirui. No wonder the evil filth had spiked so suddenly—a fresh Profound Immortal had emerged.

Higher-realm beings impose greater strain on the world. A lone Profound Immortal's burden rivaled that of over a dozen Heavenly Immortals!

For Li Zhirui, however, this proved a boon, accelerating his tenure in the Primal Spirit Realm. In mere centuries more, he could cleanse the evil filth, accrue merit, sever karmic bonds, and ascend beyond!

"Soon, very soon."

Despite his poised Mental State, thoughts of imminent transcendence stirred turbulent emotions within him.

"Calm! Calm! At this crucial juncture, I must stay utterly composed—impatience invites mishap."

Li Zhirui swiftly recognized the peril. He shut his eyes, envisioned the White Lotus, and quelled his inner turmoil.

This technique worked wonders. Upon reopening his eyes, his Mental State had restored to serene stability.

Thereafter, he ignored external matters, immersing fully in deriving elixir recipes.

The recipe Li Zhirui currently pursued derived from the Creation Heaven Pill, downgraded for Creation Earth Immortal use, designed to boost Earth Immortal breakthrough odds.

Yet breakthrough-assisting pills rank toughest among all elixirs to craft.

Even Li Zhirui now possessed only preliminary concepts. Success might demand countless additional years.

Why Lin Changqing opted not to transcend immediately but linger in the Primal Spirit Realm? Destiny varies for each.

Maybe he aimed to attempt transcendence post-Profound Immortal for superior realm and strength, enhancing void survival.

Or perhaps he chose permanent residence in the Primal Spirit Realm.

...

Following the Xiaxian Sect's Profound Immortal Ancestor announcement, within months, powers like Pure Sect, Guangcheng Sect, Ten Thousand Mystical Sect, and more witnessed their own Heavenly Immortals ascending to Profound Immortal Realm!

This extraordinary wave transcended Immortal Tao alone, engulfing Demonic Tao, Sea Clan, Devil Race, Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance, and beyond. They too unveiled 'newly-promoted Profound Immortal Ancestors.'

Even the Ghost Clan, long shunned by major factions, astonishingly yielded a Profound Immortal.

This barrage of revelations struck all beings like a ferocious tempest, bewildering and disorienting everyone.

By then, astute observers grasped that Profound Immortals had secretly appeared in the Primal Spirit Realm long ago, concealed by each faction as ultimate weapons.

But the Xiaxian Sect's public Profound Immortal breakthrough forced all to reveal theirs.

The 'foremost Profound Immortal force' title was soon to shift.

...

Roughly a year on, the Xiaxian Sect dispatched an Earth Immortal visitor abruptly.

"No wonder magpies chirped merrily on the branches at dawn—a distinguished guest graces our threshold. Pardon my not greeting you sooner from afar, fellow Daoist." Alerted to the arrival, Li Debo himself emerged at the Mountain Gate to receive the envoy, duly honoring the emissary from the Primal Spirit Realm's 'premier Profound Immortal' force.

As Li family Patriarch, though merely an Earth Immortal, Li Debo embodied the clan and served as proxy for Heavenly Immortals—his stature rivaling true Heavenly Immortal Great Abilities.

Particularly on Myriad Immortal Mountain, his home ground, his authority loomed even grander than typical Heavenly Immortals.

Thus, Li Debo's personal Mountain Gate welcome bestowed immense prestige upon the Xiaxian Sect's Earth Immortal.

"Fellow Daoist overpraises me; such praise truly embarrasses." The Earth Immortal proved modest indeed, refraining from haughtiness amid the respect.
