Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2163 1551: Extortion_2

His intention to kill shifted swiftly. Instead of aiming for the opponent's demise, he decided to leverage the Divine Power as a threat. His goal was to extract as much as possible to aid his own Cultivation.

What Li Zhirui needed most urgently now was a Cultivation Method!

Unlike other cultivation materials, which he could potentially find in Chaos, Methods were unattainable in The Void.

For example, the Methods he had previously deduced were incredibly difficult to develop further without a reference. It could take millennia without any progress.

This presented Li Zhirui with the perfect opportunity to acquire a complete Profound Immortal Realm Cultivation Method!

"One Golden Immortal Realm Cultivation Method, or three Profound Immortal Realm Cultivation Methods!" he declared, doubling his demand upon speaking.

"Impossible!" Chong Yan's refusal was immediate. "I possess no Golden Immortal Realm Cultivation Methods, nor can I produce that many Profound Immortal Realm ones."

"Just one complete Profound Immortal Realm Cultivation Method, and one incomplete one. Do you accept?"

Should the other party refuse, he would be forced to take a massive risk, dealing with this person first and then seeking a way to heal.

"Very well." Li Zhirui deliberated for a moment. He surmised the opponent wasn't lying and agreed, primarily to effect a timely retreat and avoid provoking him further, lest he suffer misfortune.

In the next instant, two Jade Slips were tossed towards him. After verifying their authenticity, he released the Divine Power known as 'Burial of Ten Thousand Trees.'

The absorbed Chaotic Spiritual Energy was expelled, causing the enveloping vines and ancient trees to wither and crumble into dust.

Concurrently, Li Zhirui vanished from the location at maximum speed, aiming to evade any potential retaliation.

"Hmph! Fleeing rather quickly!" Chong Yan snorted coldly, a flicker of pain crossing his features.

In truth, his current condition was far worse than it appeared. Even if he desired revenge, he lacked the ability to pursue it.

"You Han! The next time we meet, I will make you pay a hundredfold!"

A low growl, laden with intense malice, reverberated through The Void before silence returned.

Lamenting now served no purpose. The priority was treating his injuries to prevent them from damaging his foundation.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Li Zhirui maintained his rapid flight, determined to put distance between himself and the recent conflict.

He traveled for two hours, covering an unknown expanse, before finally daring to halt after confirming his safety.

Despite his outwardly calm demeanor while confronting Chong Yan, he had been internally anxious, fearing a sudden assault.

After all, facing a peak Profound Immortal demanded utmost caution!

Li Zhirui took a brief respite to replenish his Mana before releasing Qing Si from his spatial dimension.

"Jiu! How did it go? Did those two Profound Immortals mutually cripple each other? Did you gain much?" he inquired eagerly as soon as Qing Si emerged.

Li Zhirui shook his head with a smile. "It wasn't as straightforward as you imagine, but there were indeed gains."

He then proceeded to recount the entire encounter.

"The other one escaped, leaving only one?" Qing Si still expressed a sense of regret.

"Having gained this much is already satisfactory; do not be overly greedy," Li Zhirui replied, content with the outcome.

With the Hundred-year Dao Fruit, his chances of reaching the Golden Immortal realm would be significantly improved. He could consume the fruit and dedicate a full century to comprehending the Laws directly!

Furthermore, the two Cultivation Methods would serve as invaluable references, enabling him to refine his own techniques.

Although he acquired only three Spiritual Objects, their value was comparable to his entire expedition to the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm!

"So, Jiu, do you intend to enter secluded Cultivation now, or will you continue your journey?" Qing Si observed his lack of outward concern and inquired about his future plans.

Li Zhirui pondered deeply before responding, "I believe it is best to meditate first and comprehend these two Cultivation Methods."

His current Cultivation Methods were incomplete, significantly hindering his progress. Seizing this opportunity, he needed to address this issue immediately.

"Actually, I also wish to meditate and cultivate for a period." He felt no urgency to break through to the Heavenly Immortal realm, nor was any immediate advancement crucial. His sole desire was for his Cultivation to progress further.

"Very well. Let us find a more secluded location and settle down for a period of meditation."

The two concurred and, after a thorough search within The Void, finally located a suitable place that met their requirements.

Since they were not attempting to break through to a new Realm and thus did not need to face the Thunder Tribulation, their meditation location was not far off.

Nevertheless, a Formation was employed to isolate themselves, ensuring they wouldn't disturb each other during cultivation.

This was primarily because Li Zhirui's cultivation could potentially unleash a potent aura that might affect Qing Si.

"May Jiu smoothly deduce the Cultivation Method," Li Zhirui silently wished.

"And I hope your Cultivation advances further, soon reaching the Heavenly Immortal stage," Qing Si responded in kind.

With their wishes spoken, both individuals turned and entered the Formation, commencing their meditation.

Li Zhirui swiftly attained a state of mental clarity. Focusing, he retrieved the two Jade Slips. His initial examination was of the incomplete Cultivation Method, deciphering its cultivation approach and the pathways of the Meridians.

As the method was incomplete, significant portions were absent. While reviewing, he had to expend considerable effort inferring the missing content, attempting to stitch the context together as coherently as possible.

He acknowledged that this method of reconstruction was not rigorous and could potentially lead to errors, causing him to stray entirely from the correct path.

However, he recognized there was no alternative, given the incomplete nature of the Cultivation Method!

But perhaps, he mused, this predicament also served as a form of trial!

Merely reading and comprehending this Cultivation Method consumed a substantial amount of time, yet some benefits were derived.

For instance, regarding the Profound Immortal Realm's cultivation, he now possessed a comprehensive understanding. He learned that the Profound Immortal Realm still emphasized the mastery of Laws, albeit in a more holistic manner.

Meanwhile, from the Jade Slip, he also gleaned certain insights and inspirations pertaining to Cultivation Methods. He diligently recorded these, confident they would prove useful in the future.

Following this, Li Zhirui allowed himself a period of rest, letting his mind relax.

Specifically for this purpose, he intentionally entered his personal space to locate a secluded area abundant with low-level Spiritual Objects. His objective was to test the Ten Thousand Spirits Transformation Array, anticipating the possible mutations it might induce.

He meticulously set up the Formation, infused it with his Mana, and channeled a considerable quantity of Spirit Stones into it, thereby activating the Great Array.

Instantly, an energy indescribable in nature emerged within the Formation. It appeared extraordinarily intricate, as if diverse energies were merging and intermingling, thereby catalyzing mutations within the Spiritual Objects.

As for whether the mutations would prove beneficial or detrimental, no one could offer a guarantee; ultimately, it was a matter of fate.

Mutations require time to manifest. Therefore, Li Zhirui returned to The Void to resume his meditation. He began to meticulously study the Jade Slip containing the complete Profound Immortal Realm Cultivation Method.

"Long Bright Dao Sensing Scripture..."

He slowly articulated the name of the Cultivation Method before delving into its contents.

Upon immersion in its study, Li Zhirui became completely engrossed, losing track of time.

He awoke at an unknown point, unable to suppress his astonishment, exclaiming, "This Cultivation Method is truly formidable!"

Its most remarkable characteristic was its ability to bolster the Spiritual Soul, consequently extending the duration for comprehending the Tao, which naturally accelerated the pace of cultivation.

It was regrettable, however, that this Method was not suitable for Li Zhirui.

Or, to be more precise, it was a Cultivation Method meticulously crafted for that specific peak Profound Immortal. Others attempting to cultivate it might not achieve comparable results.

In an unfortunate turn of events, it could even precipitate complications.

Li Zhirui harbored no intention of cultivating this Method directly. Instead, he contemplated methods to extract its core essence, intending to integrate it into his own self-devised Methods.

Engrossed in this contemplation, he fell into a profound state of thought.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Qing Si did not face such obstacles. As a being of Chaos, he inherently possessed mastery over a particular Law and maintained a close proximity to The Great Tao; Cultivation Methods held significantly less importance for him.

During his cultivation, phenomena of Wind and Thunder manifested around him, accompanied by various unusual occurrences.

These manifestations were a direct result of the Laws actively surrounding him, a feat unattainable by ordinary beings!
