Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2087
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
Boom!
The deafening thunderclap dazed the onlookers, yet it served as a stark reminder that the Thunder Tribulation had begun!
While they engaged in idle talk, the Thunder Tribulation had quietly completed its accumulation.
The initial Tribulation Thunder unleashed a horrifying pressure, leaving them barely able to comprehend that the ones to follow would prove even more ferocious.
Nevertheless, Qingxuan casually deflected this Tribulation Thunder, saturated with destructive and ruinous aura.
It relentlessly bombarded the barrier in repeated attacks, striving to shatter the shield, yet all attempts proved futile. Once its power fully drained, the first Tribulation Thunder was utterly vanquished.
Likely due to earlier delays, the second Tribulation Thunder swiftly plummeted moments later.
However, to Qingxuan, this ostensibly formidable Tribulation Thunder resembled mere offensive Divine Powers, incapable of dealing him any substantial damage.
...
Time elapsed as Qingxuan endured eight Tribulation Thunders without harm, his condition showing no signs of impact, as though nothing had touched him.
Just one final Tribulation Thunder lingered, and overcoming it safely would leave only a single trial before his ascent to Heavenly Immortal.
Thanks to Qingxuan's steadfast Dao Heart and Mental State, the Heart Demon Tribulation held no fears for him; it might even prove simpler than the preceding Thunder Tribulation.
The clan members watching grew much more at ease, considering his earlier displays, Qingxuan appeared highly likely to conquer the Tribulation Thunder.
Rumble——
A thunderous roar heralded the descent of the ultimate Tribulation Thunder, its vast bolt cleaving the skies, ripping apart the cloud veil, and abruptly illuminating the overcast firmament.
In the instant that followed, the Tribulation Thunder pierced through layers of space, manifesting right over Qingxuan's head before cascading wildly downward, fully enveloping him.
Blinding lightning flares and radiant glows prevented the distant clan members from glimpsing the events within.
That veil of uncertainty tormented them above all!
"Qingxuan Spirit Ancestor should be able to pass this tribulation safely, right?"
"With the Spirit Ancestor's formidable strength, it surely won't be a problem, rest assured."
Leading at the front, Qingpeng and Qingcang brimmed with firm belief in him, convinced this Tribulation Thunder posed no threat whatsoever.
Indeed!
Following thirty minutes of intense confrontation with the Tribulation Thunder, its form had diminished by half, allowing all to witness the protective steps he employed while shrouded in lightning.
A majestic mountain peak materialized overhead, instantly radiating unyielding solidity. This very Life-bound Magic Treasure enabled Qingxuan to battle the Tribulation Thunder unscathed.
Confronting the now severely weakened Tribulation Thunder, he refrained from launching counterstrikes, preferring to methodically deplete its strength.
Qingxuan adopted this strategy not from any doubt in his abilities, but to capitalize on the moment for replenishing more Mana.
Still, the Tribulation Thunder endured briefly before fragmenting into scattered Thunder Light and dispersing on the winds.
Scarce had he recovered when a beam of black light plunged from above, invading his Sea of Consciousness directly.
Roar!
The Outer Heaven Demon hastily infiltrated Qingxuan's Sea of Consciousness, only to encounter a soul-shaking beastly roar right away.
Spanning the Sea of Consciousness was a colossal turtle rivaling a mountain in size, a peculiar manifestation from Qingxuan's practice of the Observation Method fused with his bloodline.
Sensing the invading anomaly, the giant turtle's immediate response was scrutiny followed by crushing it beneath its claw!
Within seconds, the Outer Heaven Demon stirred back to awareness, realizing it was already pinned down.
Regardless of its desperate writhings, freedom from the giant turtle's crush remained impossible.
Thus, it resorted to an alternate tactic in its plight, utterly shocked that its signature Heart Demon Illusion Realm failed utterly while suppressed!
With no options left, it yielded completely, serving as sustenance to bolster Qingxuan's Spiritual Soul.
Concurrently, the external realm shifted accordingly. The Tribulation Clouds converted into immense reserves of Pure Spiritual Energy, clearing the way for his advancement.
From start to finish, the ordeal unfolded flawlessly without mishaps, as Qingxuan triumphantly advanced to Heavenly Immortal!
With a boom, his overwhelming aura surged across vast distances.
Not only did his breakthrough boost his own power, but it also strengthened the whole clan, proving that the Li family endured as a mighty Heavenly Immortal force even after Li Zhirui's ascension!
"Let me first stabilize my realm, then share the Dao with all of you!"
His words barely echoed when Qingxuan's form vanished instantly.
In truth, the Li family's ongoing progress finds itself in a truly unique phase.
While known as an Immortal Tao family, it's chiefly guided by Divines at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, yet labeling it a Divine Path power doesn't quite fit, given the scarcity of actual Li family Divines.
Mountain and river Divines in Shanhai State stem from selections by departed Li family members; scarcely any living ones choose to join actively.
This odd fusion of Immortal Tao and Divine Path serves the Li family well in the era's current tide.
From Immortal Tao to Divine Path, connections bind the Li family to each, paving ways for future tactical shifts.
Clan members who witnessed the Thunder Tribulation scattered away.
"Strange, right? Wars erupt every few thousand years, but lately, no trace of them appears. Powers and factions just pour into cultivation instead?"
Returning to the Divine Domain, Qingpeng voiced his regret, eager as he was for a massive showdown against a Heavenly Immortal.
"Hmm? Indeed!"
Qingcang sensed it too, and after probing closely, remarked, "Evil Qi and Catastrophic Qi in the world remain surprisingly thin, nothing like the buildup from millennia of gathering."
"Then what's happening?"
They detected the irregularity but couldn't trace its source, opting merely to watch closely in hopes of unearthing the reality eventually.
Unknown to them, far inside the Underground Yin World, the Earth Element Lady positioned herself by the Polluted Sea, tirelessly refining the world's swelling impurities.
Her relentless purification holds back the surge of worldly calamities!
As the saying goes, 'One may advance or retreat in the face of the Dao; different skills shine in different fields!'
Her Dao strayed from the Purification Principle's core, yet she pushed her limits, steadily cleansing rather than wholly eradicating the Polluted Sea as Li Zhirui might achieve.
She also struck a hidden deal with Shenling, amassing Merit toward her transcendence while claiming a flawless Earth Immortal Dao Cultivation Method.
Still, she avoided full cultivation of it; a Heavenly Immortal like the Earth Element Lady dared not abruptly switch paths. She simply drew in elements boosting her innate powers.
For instance, she rapidly commanded the technique amplifying Earth Qi, weaving it into her Divine Domain.
Her Divine Domain covered a massive swath of terrain!
Activating it unleashed a torrent of Earth Qi across the immense Divine Domain, rippling out to engulf the Primal Spirit Realm entirely!
The Earth Element Lady reaped immense rewards, harvesting the long-desired Merit in abundance!
"Little drops make an ocean, and grains of sand build a tower! A few more millennia of buildup, and all causality could unravel..."
Though the timeline dragged on, it far outshone the formerly boundless wait.
...
The flowers may bloom in two places, each branch narrating its own story.
Shifting to Li Zhirui, he seized the three flawed cultivation manuals and plunged into fervent secluded study and insight.
Unlike before, deducing a new cultivation method lay outside his plans this round.
Such deduction demanded vast time, and Li Zhirui lacked the fortune in Spirit Crystals for the chamber's steep cost.
Thus, he gave them a quick scan, verified their safety, and prepared to depart the commerce's Ten Thousand Treasures Hall alongside Qing Si.
