Chapter 630: 636 Chapter: Achievents Chapter 630: 636 Chapter: Achievents Of course!
For a lengthy period, this would only be a decision, not implented, since the Devil Race’s power on both the southwest sides of Profound Ice Sect was substantial, and they had to consider their situation.
However, as the Li family’s strength grew increasingly formidable, Profound Ice Sect had already started to contemplate whether they should take action ahead of schedule.
After all, the stronger the Li family beca, the more the power they would wield increased manifold, but this would in turn leave the Profound Ice Sect’s gates further unguarded, rendering them even less capable against the two Great Devil races.
“Fellow seniors, I’ve heard that the Li family has a master of formations. Their Island Defense Array must certainly be of the fourth order. If we continue to ignore this, the price we’ll have to pay to eliminate the Li family in the future will undoubtedly be much greater!” Han Chan urged urgently.
She wished she could lead her disciples to Wanxian Island right now and slaughter all the cultivators of the Li family.
“Junior sister makes a valid point, but how should we deal with the Devil Race?”
To eliminate a Nascent Soul family clan is by no ans an easy feat; they would need to have double the strength and would suffer extensive casualties!
And by mobilizing so many cultivators all at once, the Devil Race, which had been closely monitoring Profound Ice Sect, would definitely take imdiate notice. Once they confird it wasn’t a trap, they would surely join forces.
For a single Five Elents Jade Peach, should they sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of disciples?
“If the Li family is unwilling to trade, then we simply find soone else. After all, the Five Elents Jade Peach isn’t of much use for breaking through to Divine Transformation.”
The people present slightly furrowed their brows and looked at the Elder who had spoken, as if such obvious reasoning was unknown to them. Of course they knew!
But the problem was, Spiritual Objects that could aid in breaking through Divine Transformation were few and far between, and exceedingly expensive. Despite the Profound Ice Sect’s strength, they didn’t even qualify to bid for them.
They had initially seized half of a Six Yang Flower from the Secret Realm, which could be considered a fortunate turn of fate. Unfortunately, it was only half and did not enable their elder to achieve success in one step, placing them in an awkward situation.
Looking for other Spiritual Objects? Not so easy.
“Could it be that senior brother knows of other Spiritual Objects?”
They all looked at him curiously.
“It must not be spoken of, must not be spoken of!” The man shook his head and wagged his tail, a look of smugness on his face.
——
It was only later that other forces realized that the one breaking through the Nascent Soul wasn’t a mber of the Li family, but instead Li Zhirui’s Contracted Spirit Beast.
“Truly worthy of being an Alchemy Master, to be able to push his own Contracted Spirit Beast to the fourth order!” While it seed like they were praising Li Zhirui, they were actually mocking him for squandering Spirit Pills.
“We actually rank lower than a beast… a Spirit Beast.”
When the real news spread, the impact was even greater.
It was because outsiders were unaware of the intricacies and limitations of the Li family’s cultivation technique, otherwise it wouldn’t be so hard to comprehend.
As for these ssages, Li Zhirui, who was in seclusion within his cave dwelling refining Mana, remained cluelessly unaware.
However, even if he knew, he wouldn’t have reacted much, as it’s quite difficult to beco angry with so fools.
Several months later, Li Zhirui erged from his ditation chamber full of vigor.
Following Da Qing’s breakthrough to the fourth order, the Mana feedback to him was not trivial, making up for years of his arduous cultivation; with ten or twenty more years of channeling Spiritual Energy, his Mana would reach the state of perfection!
However, the cultivation speed of his Spiritual Soul was slightly slower, and it would take an additional decade or so to sunify his Spiritual Soul to the limit, and then he could attempt to break through to the later stages of Nascent Soul.
Li Zhirui was not in the least bit dissatisfied with this, as his cultivation speed was already quite fast!
After all, he was only over four hundred years old, with five to six hundred years left until the end of his lifespan.
And many Nascent Soul cultivators might practice until their death without ever achieving perfection in the Nascent Soul stage, not to ntion taking a step further to attain the revered status of Divine Transformation.
On this day, Li Zhirui and his wife Jiang Fengwu were sitting in a pavilion, chatting leisurely.
“I wonder when my three Spirit Beasts will be able to break through to the fourth tier.”
“The Feng Peng should be at the mid-stage of the third tier by now, right?”
Despite being lucky with her contracted Spirit Beasts, all being of the fourth rank, Jiang Fengwu’s bond with them was too recent, and naturally, their levels of cultivation couldn’t keep up with Da Qing and Xiaoqing.
Fortunately, having broken through the Nascent Soul stage, Jiang Fengwu had a lengthy life span, giving her plenty of ti to wait for her Spirit Beasts’ breakthroughs, and she needed ti to accumulate strength for breaking through to Divine Transformation as well.
“But Qingfeng and the Five Colors are only at the second tier.”
“Their cultivation speed is already quite fast. If they were to go any faster, it might damage their foundations, which would not be beneficial in the long run.”
Jiang Fengwu rolled her eyes at that remark. Did she not understand such a basic principle? She was rely being emotional upon seeing Da Qing and Xiaoqing.
“Speaking of which, Xiaoqing has taken a liking to Feng Peng. I wonder if Feng Peng will consent to be with him after his breakthrough,” Li Zhirui steered the conversation with a chuckle.
“Feng Peng is quite proud and haughty.”
Jiang Fengwu shook her head. It was precisely because of Feng Peng’s prideful nature that their relationship wasn’t as close as the one between Li Zhirui and Da Qing or Xiaoqing.
“By the way, have you managed to obtain the Sun Spirit Object that Sheng entrusted you to trade for?”
It had been several years since this matter was discussed, with no news till now.
“There’s so progress. The family has already sent people to negotiate.”
Li Chengsheng had given the family the corpse of the Fire Dragon he obtained, and in return, the family was helping him acquire a fourth-tier Sun Spirit Object.
But since Sun Spirit Objects were rare, several years had passed before there was even a glimr of news.
Two major trading houses indeed had so in stock, but sadly, those Spirit Objects were not suitable for Li Chengsheng’s Chaoyang Crow to consu and assimilate. They had to look elsewhere.
“That’s good to hear,” Jiang Fengwu nodded lightly, “I’m going back to continue cultivating.”
Li Zhirui had made significant progress in his cultivation. Although she wasn’t in a rush, she didn’t want to fall too far behind either.
Li Zhirui turned and left the cave dwelling, heading towards the Spirit Realm.
Haven’t visited for a while, he was surprised to see that the area of the Spirit Realm had expanded considerably.
And this was all thanks to Li Chengshuo having discovered a few years prior that the Black Stone Secret Realm had reopened.
Once it was confird that black stones could expand the space of the Spirit Realm, Li Zhirui had arranged for ssage relay shops and people to keep an eye on the Secret Realm.
As soon as the Secret Realm opened, they would relay the news back to Wanxian Island as fast as possible. This ti, they managed to send the news from tens of thousands of miles away to the family within just one day!
Of course, behind such a brilliant outco were the exhausted clan mbers, along with the significant expenses.
However, in the face of black stones, all of this was worth it!
For this reason, Jiang Fengwu specifically made a trip, leading over a hundred Foundation Establishnt cultivators straight to the Black Stone Secret Realm and brought back a large amount of the perplexing black stones.
It was precisely this batch of black stones that had doubled the size of the Spirit Realm, which was forrly only about one square mile.
And this was because only a small part of those black stones had been digested. If all of them were utilized, it might even be possible to break through to five miles!
Having such a large Spirit Realm would be fantastic for the Li family; not only could they plant more precious Spiritual Objects, but the concentrated spiritual energy within the Spirit Realm was also excellent for breaking through minor cultivation realms.
