Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan
Chapter 1423 - 1180: Breakthrough_2

Chapter 1423: Chapter 1180: Breakthrough_2

His actions were like dropping a bomb out of nowhere, instantly attracting the attention of numerous cultivators, and the news spread wildly outside, with more and more cultivators gathering around him.

Among them, there were some with ill intentions, but most, upon seeing Li Zhirui’s cultivation, sensibly gave up, for a late-stage Individual Immortal cultivator was not someone they could afford to provoke.

Of course, some cultivators were undeterred, or blinded by greed, planning to ’rob the rich to help the poor.’

"Senior, what do you think is the value of this Spiritual Object, can it be exchanged for a bottle of Bright Light Clearing Muddiness Treasure Pill?" a certain Integration cultivator asked respectfully, taking out a Jade Box.

Li Zhirui glanced at it, realizing it wasn’t one of his Spiritual Objects, and moreover, he didn’t recognize it, but judging from the Spirit Light it emitted, its grade would not be lower than Tier 8.

"What is this Spiritual Object? What effects does it have?"

Encountering an unknown Spiritual Object is all too normal, as the Primal Spirit Realm is vast and rich in Spiritual Energy, where new kinds of Spiritual Objects can be born at any time and place.

"This Spiritual Object is called the Refueling Divine Wood, it can be used to quickly replenish Divine Sense and Spiritual Soul consumption, it’s very precious, and has become extremely rare in recent years," the cultivator instinctively elevated the value of the Spiritual Object in his hand.

Li Zhirui nodded without hesitation, agreeing to the deal.

With a successful example, other cultivators quickly spoke up, hoping to get the Spiritual Objects they needed ahead of others, and to avoid disputes with others, as that would only be to their detriment, allowing him to take advantage.

After a round of trading, quite a few Precious Pills were left at Li Zhirui’s stall, which were eventually bought by some cultivators using Spirit Stones.

Having achieved the purpose of staying here, he naturally wouldn’t continue to linger, and left the Immortal City that evening.

At the same time, several groups of cultivators followed behind Li Zhirui, all intent on killing and robbing him.

"No need to sneak around in the back, come out,"

After leaving the Immortal City a certain distance, Li Zhirui openly exposed them.

"Fellow Daoist, aren’t your actions a bit too ostentatious, and are you really so confident? Do you think that with so many of us, we can’t take down just you?"

Since they had been discovered, there was no point in hiding anymore, and the group of cultivators quickly flew in front of him, with a particular Individual Immortal cautiously probing.

"With your strength, even if all of you attacked together you couldn’t take me down, let alone belonging to different factions, with mutual distrust and pulling each other back, how could you be my match?" Li Zhirui said with a smile.

With his current strength, he indeed had no way to defeat the twenty or so Individual Immortals before him, but if he wanted to leave, they couldn’t stop him.

"Hmph! Then let us test your strength!"

With that, he was the first to attack, as a gigantic mountain suddenly appeared above Li Zhirui’s head, plummeting down quickly.

The others followed suit, unleashing various Divine Powers to block his escape from all directions.

"And you think this strength can stop me?"

Li Zhirui sneered, pinching a spell, causing a vast amount of seawater to appear out of nowhere, raising huge waves that swallowed all those Divine Powers coming from the east.

"I won’t waste time with you, but before I leave, I’ll give you a little gift, hope you like it."

With that, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared.

Rumble!

Countless Sun Water Yin Thunders exploded instantly, thunderous roars echoed incessantly, leaving many looking extremely disheveled and embarrassed.

"Damn it!"

When they wanted to pursue him again, they had no clue about Li Zhirui’s whereabouts, only able to curse angrily and leave.

And the news of over twenty Individual Immortals jointly ambushing one person, failing to capture him and even getting messed around, spread swiftly.

Not only did it greatly enhance Li Zhirui’s reputation in this area, but also added humiliation and a story of ridicule to their experience!

Even years later, when Li Zhirui passed by this place, he could still hear legends about himself.

As for where Li Zhirui was heading now? Naturally, back to Mount Wanxian!

This journey not only perfectly resolved his bottleneck, but also brought him quite a few good treasures, most importantly, he needed a safe, quiet environment to seclude himself, deducing Cultivation Techniques and Pill Recipes.

——

Meanwhile, high above Mount Wanxian, a long-unseen Immortal Ascension Tribulation had arrived!

Heavy tribulation clouds covered an area of dozens of miles around, their terrifying aura making several living beings dare not linger.

Li Zhixuan, Jiang Fengwu and others were startled by the sudden Thunder Tribulation, immediately ceasing their cultivation to see who was undergoing the tribulation.

"Is it Shen?"

They quickly identified the person undergoing the tribulation, then felt a surge of worry in their hearts.

Because as Shenling, his body was restrained by the Thunder Tribulation, meaning Shen’s challenge in undergoing the tribulation was inherently two to three times more difficult.

It was a pity, Shen had already started the tribulation, meaning there was nothing they could do at this point! They could only do what they could, such as acting as protectors.

Rumble——

The first Tribulation Thunder struck very suddenly, a dazzling white light tore through the sky like a wildly dancing silver serpent, opening its blood-red mouth, trying to swallow Shen in one bite.

But no matter how weak Shen was, he was still a genuine Mahayana perfection, how could he fall to this weakest Tribulation Thunder?

Next, everyone watched Shen employ various means, passing through one Tribulation Thunder after another.

Unknowingly reaching the final Tribulation Thunder.

But by this point, Shen’s state wasn’t looking too good, those Tribulation Thunders ultimately caused him some harm, worrying Jiang Fengwu, Li Zhixuan and others immensely, fearing he couldn’t withstand this final Tribulation Thunder, dying and disappearing.

Boom!

Crack——

A deep explosion sounded, accompanied by a cracking sound, as the ninth Tribulation Thunder poked its head out from the tribulation clouds.

Wow!

The onlookers nearby, acting as protectors, saw the immense size of this Tribulation Thunder and couldn’t help but start discussing.

"Why is the Tribulation of Spirit Ancestor Shen so strange, the power of the last Tribulation Thunder is far too terrifying!"

"Indeed, Spirit Ancestor rarely ventures out, nor does he have much entanglement with cause and effect, or Karmic Force, yet the power of the Thunder Tribulation seemed stronger from the start."

"Alas! Who knows if the Spirit Ancestor will manage to survive this tribulation."

Many clan members, worried, looked to Shen in the center of the Thunder Tribulation, silently praying in their hearts, hoping he could successfully pass this tribulation.

If the first Tribulation Thunder were a silver serpent, then the last one was a giant python trying to swallow the sky, its sheer size was immense.

"Come on!"

Shen looked resolute, without a hint of fear or hesitation; he had no fallback, only able to fight with his back against the wall, giving everything he had!

He mobilized all the power from his entire body, including the Cave Heaven inside, transforming into a yellow dragon made of countless earth and stone, actively meeting the final Tribulation Thunder.

The yellow dragon proved no match against the Tribulation Thunder, with large chunks of earth and stone constantly falling off, but quickly returning to its body, dealing with the Thunder’s power in this manner.

Even so, Shen saw little hope of overcoming the Thunder Tribulation.

In spite of himself, he had to perform a Divine Power that he had coincidentally learned but was not yet mature in.

The originally lifeforce-rich Shen suddenly lost all vitality, appearing as though he were dead, like a withered tree, stark against the rampant thunder.

"Silence!"

Li Zhixuan sternly shouted, the scene turned instantly silent.

Buzzz!

A pale Spirit Light shot out from the lifeless Shen, heading straight toward the Tribulation Thunder.

But it seemed to have no effect, as it approached the Thunder.

"Cough!"

Shen coughed laboriously, his eyes full of radiance as he looked at the Tribulation Thunder, a smile slowly appearing at the corner of his mouth, muttering, "I did it!"

The onlookers couldn’t hear what he was saying, but they saw the original mighty Tribulation Thunder surprisingly wrestling with that yellow dragon.
