Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2158 1549: The Encounter

However, matters had reached this point. The great calamity had already erupted, leaving the Earth Element Lady without a solution. She could only silently await the end of this calamity before finding a way to resolve her own karmic forces.

Yet, her original opportunity to transcend after another millennium had been drastically altered by this unexpected event, extending the timeline by severalfold!

"Alas!"

Confronted with this outcome, she could only heave a sigh, gather her scattered thoughts, and wait in quiet resignation.

Meanwhile.

In the Primal Spirit Realm, various factions were equally caught unaware by the sudden outbreak of the great calamity. They descended into frantic activity, hastily dispatching their younger disciples to resolve their own karma.

For a time, the entire world was plunged into chaos, with conflicts erupting in every corner.

Fortunately, this calamity did not extend to Heavenly Immortals, thereby keeping the wars relatively contained.

However, this posed a significant hardship for those in seclusion attempting to achieve breakthroughs. The rampant tribulation evil energy filling the air prevented them from cultivating peacefully, and they were also compelled to address their own karma.

With no other recourse, they were forced to abandon their seclusion and prioritize resolving their karma.

...

Like flowers blossoming into two, each seeking its own path.

While the Primal Spirit Realm was ablaze with conflict, Qingxuan's expedition into The Void was far from smooth.

Indeed, shortly after entering The Void, he encountered a formidable chaotic fierce beast, leading to an intense battle between them.

As for the ultimate result, Qingxuan neither emerged victorious nor suffered defeat.

The beast proved incapable of breaching his defenses, while his own offensive capabilities were somewhat lacking. Following a prolonged stalemate, he managed to extricate himself from the beast's pursuit.

Nevertheless, this abrupt confrontation was detrimental to him, as it depleted a considerable amount of his mana.

Furthermore, within The Void, Qingxuan was unable to replenish his mana by absorbing chaotic spiritual energy. Consequently, he was forced to rely on consuming his own stored pills.

Thus, this battle, devoid of any tangible gains, ultimately represented a loss for him!

"It appears I must find a method to acquire a secret technique for absorbing chaotic spiritual energy, enabling long-term travel within The Void."

Li Zhirui had, in fact, conveyed this necessity to them before his departure.

However, given that the Life Star Absorption Secret Technique was obtained from another cultivator, it could not be directly imparted. They were thus left to devise their own solutions.

Because of this, Li Zhirui had thoughtfully set aside a substantial quantity of spirit crystals, hoping that future generations of the family might acquire the Spirit Absorption Secret Technique, thereby enriching the family's legacy from The Void.

The question then arose: why was it Qingxuan, who followed years later, tasked with this, rather than Jiang Fengwu, who had entered The Void earlier?

The reason was that Jiang Fengwu had expressed her intention to remain in The Void for an extended period and had voluntarily relinquished the task.

"Chaos Commerce, perhaps, or encountering denizens from other worlds..."

Instantly, Qingxuan dismissed the latter option. The former not only guaranteed his safety but also assured him against acquiring flawed or incomplete techniques. The latter, however, was entirely dependent on sheer luck. Encountering malevolent beings could result in the loss of both one's wealth and life.

"Never mind. Jiu also mentioned that finding Chaos Commerce is a matter of considerable luck. I shouldn't be overzealous. I shall explore The Void for a while first."

Perhaps during this exploratory journey, he might chance upon Chaos Commerce?

Having reached a decision, Qingxuan wasted no further time and soared towards the profundities of chaos.

...

Somewhere within The Void, Li Zhirui was currently seeking out a Profound Immortal Rank chaotic fierce beast. His objective was to test the efficacy of the Purification Principle he had recently mastered.

Roar!

The beast's enraged roar reverberated through the chaos, its large pupils burning red with fury as it unleashed a torrent of purple-black venom towards Li Zhirui.

Wherever the venom flowed, not only was the chaotic spiritual energy corroded, but even the resilient fabric of space rippled, a testament to its terrifying potency.

Yet, Li Zhirui displayed no hint of fear or apprehension. Instead, his face was alight with eager anticipation.

He eschewed his usual, most proficient Water-Wood Mystical Abilities, opting instead to employ the Purification Principle. Condensing the power of laws, he formed a long sword and thrust it directly at the venom.

Upon impact, the Purification Long Sword emanated a potent cleansing force, effectively separating the toxins from the venom. This was a departure from before, when the principle would have completely purified the venom.

"Success!"

Observing this, a flicker of joy crossed Li Zhirui's countenance. From this moment forward, the Purification Principle he wielded was no longer a law devoid of offensive capacity.

Admittedly, in terms of raw attack strength and destructive power, it might not rival laws such as thunder or flame. Nevertheless, it was a significant improvement compared to his previous reliance solely on divine power against adversaries.

It must be recognized that within the chaos, only laws could fully manifest their might!

These reflections occupied mere moments in the external world.

The ferocious beast, bewildered by its attack's abrupt disappearance, ceased its assault. This pause granted Li Zhirui a crucial moment to recuperate and fully center his attention on the ongoing confrontation.

With swift hand seals, a brilliant beam of spirit light erupted from his palm, aimed precisely at the beast's vulnerable core.

Roar!

Sensing imminent peril, the fierce creature let out a deafening roar. Its colossal form pulsed with dark spirit light, coalescing into a formidable, dense armor to shield itself.

Crack!

The purifying force, lacking extreme sharpness, met the beast's formidable defense and, instead of piercing, was shattered.
