Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 371 - 377: Departure

The grand hall of Myriad Thunder Mountain Sect.

Cloud Thunder and Qing Lei, the two Nascent Soul True Lords who usually kept away from worldly affairs, appeared in the grand hall today, positioned above all the Elders.

"Presumably, you are all aware that the opening of The Secret Realm of Wanxian is imminent. The Sect has been planning for this for over a hundred years, and we must ensure that nothing goes awry!" Sect Leader Lei Tian said with a grave voice.

"Milei Uncle and Elders Lei Yu and Lei Feng, do you have any further requests?"

Even after a legacy of a thousand years and with tens of thousands of disciples, Myriad Thunder Mountain to this day has only produced three Hundred-Year Golden Pills!

Of course, this is not to say that Myriad Thunder Mountain has only nurtured three individuals; rather, the path is fraught with difficulties and the others naturally met their demise along the way.

To enhance the strength of these three, Myriad Thunder Mountain has been responsive to their needs, fulfilling their requests as long as they are not too excessive. After all, to obtain the Spiritual Objects desired by the Sect from the Secret Realm, they could only rely on these three.

"I only ask for a Hundred-Mile Transmission Talisman!" Milei, as an elder of the same generation as Cloud Thunder and Qing Lei, naturally spoke first.

Lei Yu and Lei Feng also made their requests, one by one, but fortunately, they were measured. The items they sought were either for preserving their lives or for enhancing their combat strength.

"They will be delivered to the three of you shortly!" The Internal Affairs Elder, seeing the two senior figures nod in approval, had no choice but to step forward, even if he felt reluctant.

"For this mission, I will lead the team to the Central Region. Junior Brother Qing Lei will stay behind to oversee the Sect. Besides Milei Uncle and the other two, we can also select some outstanding disciples from the Sect to interact with the prodigies of the Central Region, which may yield great benefits." As soon as True Lord Yun Lei spoke, the grand hall fell silent instantly, and all the Elders instinctively straightened up.

Sect Leader Lei Tian promptly replied, "I will arrange for this immediately and tally up the numbers."

It goes without saying that among the disciples who met the criteria, there was none who would decline the opportunity. This was True Lord Yun Lei, one of the Sect's two great stabilizing forces!

"If memory serves me right, isn't there a Hundred-Year Golden Pill among one of the vassal families?" an Elder suddenly spoke up.

"Yes, but the child has neither awakened the Heavenly Gifted Divine Power nor does he come from a prominent background. Although he is aware of The Secret Realm of Wanxian, it's very likely he will not participate, considering he is only at the Middle Golden Core Stage," Lei Tian said, seemingly having investigated Li Zhirui.

A Middle Golden Core Stage could be considered a not insignificant figure elsewhere, but in The Secret Realm of Wanxian, where Golden Core Perfection abounds, it was hardly noteworthy—almost akin to courting death.

Thus, after hearing Lei Tian's words, the others stopped paying attention to Li Zhirui and shifted the discussion to other topics.

As for True Lords Yun Lei and Qing Lei, after announcing the matter, they left the grand hall in a flash.

——

Time swiftly passed, and in the blink of an eye, a month had gone by.

Da Qing had left seclusion a few days earlier and was spending tender moments with Mu Ling'er. Li Zhirui was also with his family, for this journey would take at least five years for the round trip alone; this did not even include the time spent in the Secret Realm or on other matters.

So, while still on Wanxian Island, he naturally seized every opportunity to spend time with his family.

"Dad, are you setting off tomorrow?" While outsiders didn't know what Li Zhirui was about to undertake, Jiang Fengwu and her two children were aware.

"Hmm, after all, the journey is long, so it's better to start earlier."

Li Zhirui responded with an acknowledgment and looked up at his brother and sister, instructing them, "I know you are proud and ambitious, wanting to establish your foundations on your own. This indeed has some benefits for your future path, but I hope you won't be too obsessed with this and waste your lifespan in vain."

Even though Li Zhirui was full of confidence in his children's talents, he didn't have much certainty about this matter either, but he couldn't dampen their enthusiasm.

In the end, after much thought, he decided to make an agreement with his two children.

"You are still young, but a cultivator's lifespan is extremely precious, so I permit you to try establishing your foundations by yourselves, but there are requirements. If you don't succeed within ten years, you must take the Foundation Establishment Pill!"

"Ten years? I'm sure I won't need that long," Li Chengshuo said confidently. His reference to 'others' naturally pointed to his direct elder brother, Li Chengsheng.

Confronted with Li Chengshuo's provocation, Li Chengsheng responded as if he hadn't even noticed, saying solemnly, "Thank you for the admonishment, father. I shall engrave it in my heart."

"Humph!" Facing the disregard, Li Chengshuo was quite angry, but thinking of Li Zhirui leaving the next day, he just snorted coldly and didn't argue with Li Chengsheng.

After spending the last day with the three, Li Zhirui left the family quietly the next morning. Apart from Jiang Fengwu, no one else knew of his sudden departure.

When Li Shiqing and Li Shilian came calling later, they found out that the person had already left.

"Forget it, Zhirui has never liked farewells. Since he has already set out, let us return," said Li Shiqing, helplessly leading the others away.

"Mother, why didn't Father say goodbye to us before he left? I wanted to see him off," Li Chengshuo grumbled, clearly dissatisfied with the arrangement.

"Reason? Uncle has said it already! There's no need for you to worry about these trivial matters. Focus on your cultivation and don't waste your natural talents!"

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui, having left Wanxian Island, hurriedly sped toward the west.

Li Zhirui, who hadn't ventured out for many years, looked at the scenery of the land and felt very happy, as if he had relaxed completely.

When he passed by Shen Leishan from a distance, Li Zhirui glanced at the tall and majestic peak, wondering to himself, "It's hard to guess how many Hundred-Year Golden Pills are in Shen Leishan."

Just as he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of an impressively large Spirit Boat flying out from Myriad Thunder Mountain, or rather, a Cloud Boat commonly used by cross-border trade associations!

'Looks like Shen Leishan has the same idea as me,' the difference being that Li Zhirui was venturing alone, while the other party brought a large number of elite disciples.

"Wonder if Shen Leishan will summon any True Lord this time," he mused. But all of this was irrelevant to Li Zhirui, so after thinking about it for a while, he no longer concerned himself with the matter and continued on his way, piloting the Spirit Boat.

At the same time, a 'uninvited guest' arrived at Wanxian Island!

"Zhiyue?!" Li Shiqing looked at Li Zhiyue before him, hardly recognizing her.

Li Zhiyue, who once had a gentle temperament, seemed transformed after a dozen years away from the clan, with an aura much like that of the perpetually killing Li Zhixuan!

If not unexpected, she has likely been fighting Water Devils at the boundary between the Inner and Outer Seas all these years from this change in her. It also showed that, Li Zhiyue was still haunted by Li Shiting's death and harbored a deep resentment towards the Water Devils!
