Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1910 - 1424: Success

"Having extra preparation is just a safety measure—don't turn it down." Noticing Li Zhixuan's intent to hand back some of the pills, Li Zhirui promptly interrupted to halt her.

With those words from him, she reluctantly agreed to keep them, since Li Zhixuan lacked complete certainty about the looming Thunder Tribulation; stocking up on more pills offered yet another vital edge for enduring it.

"If there's anything else you require, just tell me, and I'll do whatever it takes to get it ready for you."

Spotting the hidden anxiety under her composed facade, Li Zhirui offered this to boost her resolve a little.

"Thanks for your care, Jiu."

Deeply moved by his gesture, Li Zhixuan knew she had lingered long enough already, so she said her goodbyes without more hesitation and departed.

Gazing at her retreating form and reflecting on her present condition, Li Zhirui felt a surge of concern, eager to uncover the events that had shaped her life in recent years.

The most direct approach lay in examining the Jade Slip he held.

Once he steadied his thoughts, he directed his Divine Sense toward it, unleashing a torrent of data that poured into his mind. Naturally, with his robust Spiritual Soul, such an influx posed no challenge whatsoever.

Yet the revelations inside left Li Zhirui completely stunned!

He had long suspected that Li Zhixuan depleted a vast stock of pills she'd carried away, yet managed to linger in The Void for an extended duration through sheer force; after all, many came straight from him, so he kept track.

What he hadn't anticipated were the myriad life-threatening perils she faced within The Void.

Pursued relentlessly by a pack of void beasts, she ended up with a gruesome, stubborn scar marring her face and frame—one that refused all attempts at healing.

On one venture, she unwittingly stumbled into the lair of an enigmatic void entity and discovered a blade-like Spirit Fruit. Startled yet cautious, Li Zhixuan had no intention of ingesting it right away.

To her shock, the instant her fingers brushed the Spirit Fruit, it dissolved into radiant Spirit Light and surged straight into her.

Agonizing torment exploded within her at once, stealing her breath and sapping her strength entirely.

At first, Li Zhixuan assumed the Spirit Fruit carried deadly venom, dooming her to perish ignobly in The Void, but soon she sensed something amiss—pure suffering without the shadow of fatality.

The torment stemmed from the unique Spirit Fruit's fierce and swift overhaul of her physique!

In the past, Li Zhixuan possessed a standard four Spiritual Roots frame with mediocre talent. Her progress stemmed purely from her unique techniques and the Killing God Sword Dao's remarkable boost to her cultivation pace.

Under ordinary conditions, such a shift would have filled her with elation, especially since aptitude no longer hindered her near the Heavenly Immortal threshold, where it mattered far less.

As the changes unfolded, Li Zhixuan swiftly grasped their path, understanding that fully absorbing the Spirit Fruit would forge her into a Sword Body!

This rare Taoist Body promised immense aid to her Sword Dao practice, filling her with delight, though the moment and location could hardly have been worse.

Needless to elaborate, Li Zhixuan recognized the peril of staying put in that spot, resolving to grit through the bodily shifts and flee.

She advanced steadily at the outset, but right as escape from the nest seemed within reach, the beast came back!

Even at full strength, she couldn't overpower it; now, mid-transformation and weakened, victory was utterly impossible.

Desperate for survival, she threw everything into the fight, grasping at any thread of existence.

It was then that her Lifebound Spirit Sword shattered!

The silver lining came from the earlier Spirit Fruit, allowing the surviving fragment of the Spirit Sword to merge seamlessly into her form.

Through this, Li Zhixuan transformed into her own Life-bound Magic Treasure, ensuring that as long as she lived, the leftover Mysterious Sword portion remained little more than a tool.

Combined with years of relentless training in The Void, this sparked a dramatic surge in her Sword Qi's potency, rendering it extraordinarily fierce.

Traps in chaotic storms and chaos tides, along with countless other hazards, turned routine for her, with occurrences blurring into memory—at least a dozen, by rough count.

A few brushes with doom tested her limits, but her fierce will to live pulled her through each time.

Upon her prior return to the Primal Spirit Realm, her ragged appearance and shredded attire resulted from these nonstop threats, compelling her to scrounge the least damaged scraps for cover.

Overall, Li Zhixuan's journey this round brought both triumphs and setbacks, yet triumphing over the Thunder Tribulation to ascend as a Heavenly Immortal would tip the scales toward immense success!

Indeed, shattering the Heavenly Immortal bottleneck alone outweighed every peril faced!

...

Li Zhirui absorbed the Jade Slip's details in mere moments, though processing it all demanded a solid half-hour!

"Jiu, what's wrong with you?"

Da Qing and Xiaoqing drew near, arms linked, eyeing Li Zhirui's dazed yet astonished expression, and naturally voiced their question.

Their words snapped him from his reverie, pulling him from vivid mental visions, as he turned to the unexpected pair. "How did you two enter?"

"Jiu, you forgot to seal the door after our seclusion ended, and spotting the scene, we came to figure out what's going on," Xiaoqing clarified.
