Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1927 - 1432: Worries (Part 2)

Following Li Mingtang's turn, fellow clan members advanced one by one to showcase their spiritual treasures, yet when it came to both volume and caliber, these were utterly commonplace, greatly outshone by Li Mingtang and those who had preceded him.

Before long, every clan member had displayed their spoils and undergone the full examination, with only Li Guangxing left, as he had rushed into recovery right after coming back and still hadn't revealed his own hauls.

At last, a clan member close to him came forward to jog his memory, which finally led him to wrap up his treatment session.

"Many thanks to Ancestor Rui for the life-saving grace!"

Upon opening his eyes, his initial words were ones of deep appreciation toward Li Zhirui, as he bowed low in profound reverence.

"No worries, but I am quite curious, how did you end up in such a state?"

Li Zhirui dismissed it with a wave; having spotted him in distress, he couldn't just stand by, or else wouldn't he appear as someone freeloading off the clan's support?

It looked like he contributed immensely to the clan's progress, while the clan seemed to give back far less, but in truth, the clan supplied something vital—a secure haven brimming with rich spiritual energy for cultivation!

Not to forget, the clan also gathered plenty of spiritual treasures and spirit seeds just for him, freeing up more of his time to focus on advancing his Cultivation.

But back to the matter at hand.

Li Guangxing triggered his storage artifact, pulling out the contents from inside. Initially, there were scores of blood-soaked corpses, apparently without a chance to extract the spiritual treasures, yet too valuable to abandon, so he had lugged them along.

Stacked in a heap, they looked downright fearsome.

Next came a few jade boxes, and unlike the earlier Devil Beast remains, these spiritual treasures appeared far more refined and valuable this time.

"Ancestor Rui, Clan Leader, these are my gains from the Outer World."

While saying this, he channeled his mana to pass the jade boxes over to Li Zhirui, letting him inspect them up close.

He paid no heed to such small formalities and simply unsealed the jade boxes in sequence.

"Hmm?"

To his surprise, each jade box held a Human Immortal Rank spiritual treasure! Every single one inside qualified as Human Immortal Rank.

These counted as valuable spiritual treasures for the clan, but to Li Zhirui, they weren't anything special; he could snag multiple types of that level effortlessly from the void space.

That said, it wasn't as if these spiritual treasures lacked value; being from the Outer Realm, they were entirely novel to the Primal Spirit Realm, though whether they could truly take root here remained uncertain.

...

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.

After years of dedicated seclusion, Li Zhixuan's inner wounds had at last mended completely!

She felt an overwhelming urge to end this extended retreat, already envisioning herself honing her skills amid the wild turbulence of the void.

Yet the moment she stepped out, her eyes fell upon the jade slip Li Zhirui had left behind.

Nothing extraordinary or rare was inscribed within—just a simple message for Li Zhixuan to hold off briefly after emerging, since he had key matters to cover with her.

Coming from Li Zhirui, she wouldn't dream of brushing it aside, and besides, dashing off to the Void for trials could wait; she ought to stock up on some healing and mana-recovery pills beforehand.

Though Li Zhixuan bore a Chaos God Demon Dao Body, it remained imperfect for now; she couldn't yet draw in chaotic spiritual energy straight away, but with further progress, she might one day absorb it directly from the void without needing pills.

Once that happened, she could linger in the void indefinitely, free from any limitations.

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui had just led the clan members back from the outpost, going over the collected spoils and spiritual treasures.

"This haul turned out pretty solid, and it's merely our initial venture into the Outer World; moving forward, the clan could deliberately tear open a space rift to that realm."

Having reviewed all the clan members' yields, he also produced the "Yin Yang Scripture" that he had acquired, while the dual cultivation technique derived by descendants had already been sorted out by him.

"Hmm?"

Right as Li Zhirui prepared to head back to his cave dwelling, he abruptly felt the jade slip for Li Zhixuan activate, which curved his lips into a grin. Without delay, he vanished in a flash.

When he reappeared, it was right at the doorway of Li Zhixuan’s cave mansion.

Knock, knock—

Worried that Li Zhixuan might be deep in her cultivation practice, Li Zhirui carefully sounded the Knocking Bell, steering clear of any abrupt entry that could interrupt her session.

"Jiu!"

In short order, Li Zhixuan swung the door wide, her face lighting up with joyful surprise at the sight of him, as she exclaimed.

"From that expression, it looks like your inner injuries are fully mended, and you're gearing up for another void expedition, right?"

After a brief hesitation, Li Zhirui continued: "Plus, you're aiming to refine your Chaos God Demon Dao Body even further?"

"Jiu, how do you know that?" She gazed at him in wide-eyed wonder.

"Because I’m also pursuing paths to boost my aptitude toward becoming a Chaos God Demon, so I could spot your circumstances."

Next, he detailed the reason her tribulation had unleashed such a ferocious thunder tribulation.

In the end, it stemmed from Li Zhixuan's foundations undergoing a massive shift; she had transcended the bounds of a mere Primal Spirit Realm entity.

All these realizations only dawned on her later, but for Li Zhirui to pinpoint it so precisely just from watching her thunder tribulation and drawing on prior knowledge truly left her amazed.

All at once, a realization struck Li Zhixuan: "Jiu, have you made substantial headway in studying the Chaos God Demon Dao Body?"

That alone would explain how he so readily discerned her true nature.

Li Zhirui affirmed with a nod, then passed her the techniques he had devised.

Eagerly, Li Zhixuan deployed her Divine Sense to scan them, and only after a prolonged review did she pull it back, her features alight with awe and elation: "Jiu, did you come up with these techniques yourself? They're amazing!"

Her existing Chaos God Demon Dao Body had come about through sheer fortune, and it was nowhere near fully formed.

She had lacked any solid guidance or path for advancing it, but now a full array of techniques lay before her! She couldn't fathom how many years and resources this would spare her.

Even for Heavenly Immortal Cultivators, who escaped the threat of lifespan limits, breakthroughs grew ever more arduous; starting strong could pave the way for swifter ascendance.

"What are your thoughts on these techniques? Do they feel like empty fantasies?" Li Zhirui inquired with some concern.

No one else might grasp it, but how could he be unaware? These techniques drew from his personal trials and fragments of recollection from his previous existence.

He had never encountered a Chaos God Demon firsthand, nor understood the essence of such a being.

Thus, Li Zhirui had long harbored doubts, fearing that despite their flawless appearance, the techniques might prove shallow and baseless in reality.
