Chapter 1435: Chapter 1186: Gathering and Separation (Part 2)
After tidying up the battlefield a little, the group quietly waited beside the Seven-Colored Golden Flower for it to mature.
This wait lasted more than half a month.
One night, the Golden Bud Flower suddenly emitted an enchanting fragrance, simply slling it made one feel cleansed and relaxed.
“Finally it’s mature!”
Li Zhirui swiftly picked the blooming Golden Bud Flower, sealed it in a Jade Box, then carefully dug out the seed pod from the ground, inside were several Spirit Seeds.
It’s generally unlikely for soone to cultivate all of them, but with the space in hand, Li Zhirui had no such worries.
So the instant he obtained the Spirit Seeds, he planted them all into the space.
“This Golden Bud Flower was discovered by you two. According to clan rules, I will give you so compensation.”
This rule is most suitable in such situations, first to encourage clan mbers to help each other, second to reward the discoverers and to dissolve any grudges they may hold.
Saying this, Li Zhirui took out several bottles of top-grade ninth-tier Precious Pills and evenly distributed them between the two.
As juniors he valued highly, he naturally did not stingily withhold compensation, adding a little extra intentionally.
“Thank you, Ancestor Rui!” The two were quite pleased.
Nearby, Li Yunran was envious, but there was nothing he could do, as he wasn’t as lucky.
anwhile, in a certain southwest corner of the Secret Realm.
Da Qing was battling a Devil Beast in the Individual Immortal Realm, and it seed the situation was not quite favorable for him.
The Tiger Devil was incredibly powerful and had an abundance of Vengeful Ghosts to assist, causing Da Qing to respond in great haste, but fortunately, his seemingly impregnable defense was not easily broken.
“I didn’t expect you to be like a turtle, no wonder your defense is so strong, but it’ll end here!”
The Tiger Devil was growing impatient, unwilling to waste more ti, bellowed and sucked all the Vengeful Ghosts into its stomach, its already mountainous body swelling even more.
“Die for !”
Like a giant mountain pressing down, a massive paw slamd towards Da Qing.
Crack—
The Defensive Spiritual Light protecting Da Qing dimd considerably, and a slight crackling sound could be heard.
A few clan mbers nearby wanted to help, but feared abruptly intervening might distract Da Qing, thus anxiously stayed aside.
Especially at this critical mont, they dared not breathe heavily, praying incessantly they could survive this ordeal.
They knew well that if not for protecting them, Da Qing could have left on his own unscathed.
Da Qing gritted his teeth, frantically mobilizing Mana within himself and the Minor Thousand World, but could only barely withstand.
But if this went on, he definitely wouldn’t last.
“Hmm?”
Just as the Tiger Devil was about to press his advantage and defeat Da Qing, a Sword Light suddenly shot fiercely from the side, forcing him to abandon his prior intent and dodge.
“Who dares to hide and not show themselves?” the Tiger Devil coldly shouted.
It felt the formidable power of that Sword Qi, knowing if it didn’t dodge, a bowl-sized hole might now adorn its body!
“Since you want to see , let show myself.”
As he spoke, a swordsman in blue appeared, then sent a Sword Qi towards the Tiger Devil.
“Good co!”
The Tiger Devil roared, a yellow-black Spirit Light emanating from it, transforming into a gigantic broadsword to clash with the Sword Qi.
Clang!
A crisp tallic collision sound, yet in the next mont, the broadsword split in two, dissipating into Spirit Light and vanishing.
“Impossible!”
The Tiger Devil’s face changed dramatically, as that move contained Vengeful Ghost power and Geng tal Energy, one of its killing techniques, yet it was so easily defeated!
“Hmph! You despicable beast, can your sword compare to that of my Carefree Sword Sect?”
The blue-clad Sword Cultivator spoke disdainfully, unfaltering in his moves, swiftly striking again, forcing the once fierce Tiger Devil into desperate evasions.
After several exchanges, additional wounds adorned the Tiger Devil, one nearly split open its belly.
“We’ll et again, next ti I’ll turn you into my Vengeful Ghost!”
The Tiger Devil hurled a harsh retort, then fled rapidly in a golden light.
The blue-clad Sword Cultivator didn’t even glance, nor pursued, rely stared at Da Qing.
“Thank you, senior, for saving my life. May I ask your honorable na?”
Li Xiuqing stepped forward upon seeing this, bowed, and said, “Qingxuan Spirit Ancestor is my Li family ancestor’s Contracted Spirit Beast, here especially to protect us.”
“Hmm.”
The Sword Cultivator humbly acknowledged, then turned indifferently away, never regarding the life-saving favor as significant.
Nevertheless, Da Qing rembered his appearance, intending to find an opportunity to repay the favor after leaving the Secret Realm.
“Let’s leave here first and find a safe place to heal. The Secret Realm trial has a long way to go, maintaining one’s strength is essential.” Da Qing reminded everyone.
“Yes!”
Soon, the group found a spacious cave, set up a concealing Defensive Array, and began absorbing Spiritual Energy.
anwhile, the last Individual Immortal from the Li family to enter the Secret Realm, Jiang Fengwu, was guarding an eighth-tier Spiritual dicine about to mature.
Although so attempted to interfere, with her foresight, those beings were no match and had to withdraw.
Before long, the Spiritual dicine Jiang Fengwu had guarded for days finally matured and was carefully placed in a Jade Box by her.
Buzzing—
The long-dormant Positioning Treasure suddenly began vibrating wildly, upon inspection, several beams of Spirit Light were visible at the farthest boundary.
“So many clan mbers have already gathered?”
In the next instant, Jiang Fengwu flew decisively towards this direction.
anwhile, Li Zhirui and others also noticed this Spirit Light imdiately.
Several other clan mbers appeared behind him, including Li Xianxun.
Both sides flew towards the center, eting within an hour.
Now, over half of the dozen or so clan mbers who entered the Secret Realm had gathered around Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu, forming a formidable force.
Li Zhirui glanced at Li Yunran and others trailing behind, contemplated, and said, “With so many Great Vehicle Cultivators together, unless encountering multiple Individual Immortals, you can preserve yourselves. So I think it’s better for you to act separately from us.”
“Of course, for safety’s sake, do not stray too far, so that if danger strikes, Fengwu and I might arrive in ti.”
The reason he proposed this was not to cast them as burdens, but staying continually by his and Jiang Fengwu’s side rendered this Secret Realm trip futile, transforming it from a trial into a re journey of pleasure.
Li Yunzhuang, Li Dahong, and others found this quite reasonable, though Li Xianxun and Li Yunran hesitated due to their unhealed injuries, impairing their powers, indeed becoming burdens.
“Xian Xun and Yunran, stay by my side due to your injuries.”
Not only they would leave, but Jiang Fengwu and he would also separately act.
Li Zhirui noticed their hesitation, contemplated, then advised, “Xian Xun, after leaving the Secret Realm, seek out Qingpeng, serve temporarily under him as a Wind God, it might aid in your Individual Immortal breakthrough.”
Compared to the Immortal Tao, the Divine Path is more attuned to the Laws, and seeking enlightennt through it to raise one’s Immortal Tao state was feasible.
“Thank you for the guidance, Ancestor Rui!” Li Xianxun expressed joy, being shrewd enough to understand the suggestion, realizing it might indeed succeed!
No one linked the two before, but with a hint, it beca perfectly feasible.
“As for Yunran, you can go to Cheng Sheng’s Sun Star to comprehend the Fire Principle, that should benefit you as well.”
Though unable to continue the trial, both counted as misfortunes turned blessings.
