Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1805 - Capítulo 1805: 1371: Cultivation Method (Part 2)

Generally speaking, once he departs from the clan to travel, the family will be left devoid of any peak-level combat power. Many experts had previously moved on, resulting in a sharp decline in the Li family’s overall strength.

However, the Li family today is no longer the same as it was in the past. Previously, the scarcity of high-end combatants meant they couldn't venture out simultaneously; a powerhouse always had to remain behind to guard the Sect and prevent sudden disasters.

Upon departing from Mount Wanxian, Li Zhirui aimed his path directly toward The Void.

This time, however, he did not intend to wander far from the Primal Spirit Realm. Instead, he lingered nearby to deduce a Secret Technique that would determine how far his future Cultivation could reach!

In truth, this Secret Technique was currently nothing more than a spark of inspiration—a mere concept that had not yet taken its first physical step. As for the deduction process, there was no telling how many years it might consume.

Why choose The Void for such meditation rather than staying at Mount Wanxian? First, he wished to minimize the karma accumulated by consuming Spiritual Energy. The perspectives of Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo still weighed on his mind to some degree.

Secondly, the Secret Technique he had envisioned required completion within The Void, as it demanded a massive quantity of Chaotic Spiritual Energy to assist the process.

For Li Zhirui, these concerns were minor. Having achieved the rank of Heavenly Immortal, his lifespan was no longer a limiting factor; only the three tribulations and nine disasters that occur every millennium could present any real difficulty.

Furthermore, such troubles would not truly harm him, though they might force him to interrupt his deduction and return to the Primal Spirit Realm to endure a trial.

Should that happen, he would have to settle his mind all over again, which would result in a significant waste of time.

Now that he had reached The Void, Li Zhirui began scouting for a region where the Chaos Qi was relatively tranquil.

He traveled upon a small boat crafted from the foliage and limbs of the Crossing Sky Flying Tree, which was the place he intended to use for his secluded meditation.

“This location will suffice.”

After inspecting the surroundings, Li Zhirui selected a spot he liked, anchored the Spirit Boat, and proceeded to establish a powerful defense and concealment Great Array.

With this arrangement, nothing short of a violent Chaotic Storm would be able to disturb him during his retreat!

Seated at the center of the Spirit Boat, he sank into deep meditation, starting with that initial seed of thought to build a framework and slowly polish the details.

The final stage would involve verifying if the Cultivation Method was a success; if it failed, he would have to determine how to rectify it.

To put it simply, creating a Secret Technique from nothing is an incredibly complex, tedious, and exhausting endeavor—a task that most people would find utterly repulsive.

But what Li Zhirui sought to accomplish this time was the very foundation of his future path, a matter he had to treat with the utmost gravity!

If he succeeded, his path of Cultivation ahead would be smoother and devoid of obstacles!

Thus, regardless of the price, he had silently vowed to complete the deduction.

However, while the ambition was grand, the reality was harsh!

When the time came to actually deduce the Method, Li Zhirui found himself momentarily lost on where to begin, forcing him to constantly recalibrate his state of mind and try again and again.

...

While one story unfolds here, another begins elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Li Zhixuan, who had entered The Void even earlier, was charging toward the deepest reaches of the Chaos.

Unlike the uncertain Li Zhirui, her objectives were crystal clear: she sought to engage in life-and-death combat with entities of equal power.

After traveling for some time, Li Zhixuan successfully arrived at the threshold of the chaotic depths.

Fortune favored her; it wasn't long before she stumbled upon a powerful adversary!

The beast, possessing a body as hard as tempered steel, met her sharp Sword Qi head-on. Its shell, reinforced by Mana, caused the Sword Qi to slide off harmlessly.

Ching—ching—

The shrill sound of clashing metal rang out, even producing sparks, showcasing the creature's absurd defensive capabilities.

“Hmph!”

At this sight, Li Zhixuan let out a cold snort. She poured her Mana into the Mysterious Sword in her hand, abandoning flashy Sword Skills in favor of raw, heavy strikes.

Roar—

Sensing a thread of peril, the beast let out a sky-shaking roar, pushing its Mana to the limit to bolster its protection.

At the same time, the creature struck back, firing massive, wicked spikes from its hulking frame toward Li Zhixuan.

However, the spikes shattered against the swirling currents of Sword Qi before they could even get close. Without its incredible defense, the creature was no match for her.

The beast failed to realize this. It refused to flee, obsessed with devouring this "prey" that was so rich in Spiritual Energy.

Boom, boom, boom—

Successive waves of soaring Sword Qi struck the beast. Initially, it hadn't expected much, but the strikes surprisingly drew blood, slicing deep into its meat.

“Owl!” the beast shrieked in agony.

Yet it still did not run. Enraged, it began to greedily swallow the surrounding Chaotic Spiritual Energy, its form swelling until it resembled a small mountain standing in Li Zhixuan’s way.

“Hm?”

“You are courting death!”

Li Zhixuan’s gaze was filled with contempt. It was already wounded, yet it dared to keep fighting; its lack of self-awareness was pathetic. “If death is what you want, I shall provide it!”

With those words, a titanic crimson Sword Light flashed out, tearing through the leaking Chaos Qi and the strands of Sword Qi alike, aimed directly at the beast.

Following a final, pitiful scream, the creature was sliced in half, its life force instantly vanishing.

“Whew! It is finally over.”

Looking at the massive corpse, Li Zhixuan let out a breath of relief, finding her first opponent to be quite peculiar.

She soon realized that the beast's legendary defense wasn't actually its hide, but a specific Divine Power.

As the battle dragged on and its Mana was drained, less could be diverted to its defense, causing its protection to crumble.

Li Zhixuan located a secure spot and began to meditate, recovering her strength for the next encounter!

She intended to push her limits to the breaking point, hoping this path would allow her to break through to the Heavenly Immortal realm.

She was indeed being brutal with herself, as even a minor slip-up against these unknown monsters could result in her demise.

Clearly, becoming a Heavenly Immortal had turned into an obsession for Li Zhixuan.

Nevertheless, it wasn't a cause for concern; every Cultivator dreamed of reaching the Heavenly Immortal stage, and this drive did not harm her foundation.

Half a day later, fully restored, Li Zhixuan set out once more to hunt for even more dangerous foes.

...

At the very edge of the starry firmament.

This region, which had once been nearly empty of Stars, was now filled with countless celestial bodies flickering with life, alternating between brilliant light and dim shadows.

“Are you prepared?” Mu inquired with a hint of anxiety.

“Do not worry, every preparation has been made,” Shen answered with full confidence.

Nearby, a large group of Earth Immortal Dao practitioners watched him, their expressions a mix of tension, hope, and excitement.

Such a crowd had gathered for a monumental event—Shen was about to face his Tribulation Transcendence!

Yes, that is right!

In the wake of Li Zhirui’s success, the one striving for the Heavenly Immortal realm was neither Li Zhixuan nor Jiang Fengwu, but Shen, the forefather of the Earth Immortal path!

Supported by a massive amount of luck, his Cultivation had advanced at a blistering pace. Combined with his own relentless effort, he had quietly reached the threshold that stopped so many others.

A successful transcendence would provide the Earth Immortal Dao with another Heavenly Immortal, officially establishing it as a true Taoist tradition and lineage of Methods.

After all, without a Heavenly Immortal to lead the way, few would believe the Earth Immortal Dao could reach such heights.

This victory would also vastly increase the influence of the Earth Immortal Dao, drawing more practitioners to study their Daoist Techniques!

Boom—

The normally silent void of the starry sky was suddenly shattered by a thunderous explosion
