Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2108 1524: Chance Encounter

The disturbance caused by the Black Snake had already drawn the attention of some formidable beasts.

Before long, a colossal golden roc appeared. Upon spotting the Black Snake, a glint of recognition, as if finding a delectable meal, flashed in its sharp eyes.

A piercing shriek echoed as its wings generated a powerful gale, and its sharp talons lunged directly at the Black Snake.

A hiss escaped the Black Snake as it became aware of the imminent threat. Its body stiffened instantly, and it whipped its thick tail with remarkable agility, its speed so immense that even the Gold Roc seemed unable to evade it.

Caught off guard, the Gold Roc was forced to strike prematurely. A cold glint emanated as its sharp claws sank deeply into the Black Snake's form.

However, in the subsequent moment, a resounding impact sent the Gold Roc hurtling backward. Simultaneously, several gaping wounds, exposing flesh, marred the Black Snake's body.

While it had the upper hand in the recent exchange, the Gold Roc's talons had inflicted rather severe injuries.

It could be said that neither combatant emerged from the skirmish with an advantage.

The Black Snake, with pragmatic awareness, understood that the Gold Roc's power was on par with its own, and continuing the battle risked mutual annihilation.

Furthermore, within The Void, sustaining critical injuries that couldn't be mended swiftly often led to even graver perils.

Consequently, the Black Snake made the decisive choice to withdraw.

Yet, the incensed Gold Roc, having suffered at its adversary's claws, was unwilling to permit an easy escape.

The two entities immediately engaged in another ferocious engagement, their struggle remaining an even match, with neither side securing a substantial upper hand.

Conversely, seizing a fortuitous opening, the Black Snake managed to outmaneuver the Gold Roc and vanished into the boundless Chaos.

A furious screech erupted from the Gold Roc upon realizing its prey had slipped away.

It harbored the desire to pursue, but alas, it could not discern the direction of the Black Snake's departure. In the end, it could only vent its rage for a time before departing with palpable frustration and reluctance.

The region, having borne witness to two consecutive battles, with the dispersed Chaos Qi, began to mend itself at an accelerated pace.

Before long, the location reverted to its prior state, indistinguishable from its surroundings, bearing no trace of the fierce confrontations that had transpired.

…

Li Zhirui, who was already recuperating within his spatial dimension, remained entirely unaware of the events unfolding externally, and perhaps would never know.

"Jiu, why are you injured?!"

The location where he materialized was directly beneath the essence of the Five Elements, and his voice brimmed with concern.

"I am unharmed, merely engaged in a battle."

"Then, heal yourself swiftly, lest any lingering issues impede your cultivation."

"Understood."

A smile spread across Li Zhirui's face as he promptly took a seat upon the cushion before the Five Elements Immortal Root. He initiated his cultivation technique, drawing in Spiritual Energy to mend his wounds.

In mere moments, he sensed a gentle and pure Five Element Spiritual Energy enveloping him, immediately recognizing the Five Elements' assistance.

A profound sense of gratitude welled within him, but he recognized that the present moment was not for expressing thanks. He immediately regained his composure and focused entirely on the healing process.

Soon, a serene quietude descended upon the space, punctuated by the whispers of unseen breezes rustling the Spiritual Objects and the joyous exclamations of Devil Spirits as they frolicked, imbuing the atmosphere with a sense of profound peace and tranquility.

…

After an immeasurable duration, Li Zhirui slowly opened his eyes, his injuries having completely healed.

Upon reflection, his wounds had not been excessively severe, owing to his timely departure from the battlefield, which prevented the Black Snake from inflicting further harm.

Nevertheless, this encounter with a Fierce Beast of the Profound Immortal Realm provided him with a more profound comprehension of the power inherent in that stage.

Every movement of the Black Snake, seemingly a mere display of physical prowess, had in fact incorporated the Power of Laws!

This revelation underscored that the Profound Immortal Realm's mastery over the Power of Laws had reached an apex of perfection, far surpassing Li Zhirui's current capabilities.

His present understanding was akin to knowing of Spiritual Fire's existence but lacking the practical skill to wield it.

Certainly, this was also intrinsically linked to his recent ascension to the Profound Immortal realm; without the passage of time, certain insights remain elusive!

Moreover, without a mentor to guide his path, his future progression would necessitate self-discovery and deduction, inevitably leading to a more gradual advancement.

He had already made peace with this reality, accepting a slower pace, provided his progress remained steady.

A torrent of thoughts coursed through his mind in that single instant.

"Thank you for your care during this time, Five Elements. Without your aid, my recovery would not have been so swift," Li Zhirui expressed his sincere gratitude as he rose from the cushion.

His words were not mere platitudes, but genuine sentiments!

The condensed Qi of the Five Elements proved to be a great boon for his recovery.

"Hehehe…"

Having been isolated from the outside world, the Five Elements maintained its innocent and pure disposition, chuckling bashfully at his commendation. "Being able to assist you is the greatest accomplishment of all."

"Five Elements, how did you find your previous excursion within the Minor Thousand World?" Li Zhirui suddenly recalled something, deciding against departing immediately. He sat back down, a smile gracing his features as he inquired.

"Hmm…"

The Five Elements paused briefly, remarking, "It was not enjoyable; those minuscule beings possess such fleeting lifespans, and incessant conflicts were always erupting, resulting in the demise of numerous creatures each time. I merely ventured there twice and never returned again."
