Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 494 - 500 Separation
Chapter 494: Chapter 500: Separation
Chapter 494 -500: Separation
After returning to his cave dwelling, Li Zhirui could no longer suppress the injuries within his body. He quickly sat down cross-legged and took out a Spirit Pill to heal his wounds.
A gentle warmth flowed through his meridians, spreading throughout his body, alleviating many of his injuries.
Jiang Fengwu stood outside the door with a worried expression. Although Li Zhirui had said his injuries were not severe when he returned, after years of shared life, how could she not see that Li Zhirui was lying?
“I must also practice diligently, striving for an early breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage!” Jiang Fengwu muttered to herself, “Perhaps, I should also venture out to seek the opportunity for a breakthrough.”
Her cultivation had been stuck in the late Golden Core stage for several decades, and her foundation was very solid. She had pondered over Li Zhirui’s accumulated experience and insights countless times, yet the opportunity for a breakthrough never came.
With her mind made up, Jiang Fengwu decided she would set out after Li Zhirui’s recovery.
If she were to leave now, the Li family would be without a Nascent Soul cultivator to protect them, and they would be unable to fully activate the Island Defense Array. Should any mishaps occur, it would inevitably disturb the healing Li Zhirui.
This could very likely exacerbate Li Zhirui’s injuries!
Moreover, venturing out for practice was not an urgent matter within the next few months.
With both Qing Lei and Li Zhirui, two Nascent Soul True Lords, being injured one after the other, the Taixu Devil Race continued to clash with the Profound Ice Sect. The three major powers of Green Mountain State were quietly accumulating strength, and the Extreme Eastern Corner of the entire East Continent fell into an eerie calm.
About a year later, the long-sealed door was finally opened from the inside.
Li Zhirui’s time in seclusion was not only for healing but also for improving his cultivation, which is why it took a little longer.
Jiang Fengwu, sensing the movement, came out quickly, calling out joyfully, “You’re finally out! If you didn’t come out soon, I was considering breaking through forcibly.”
“I’m sorry to have worried you,” Li Zhirui said tenderly, gazing at Jiang Fengwu.
Truthfully, not only for their little home, but Jiang Fengwu had also made great sacrifices for the whole family, and it definitely delayed her cultivation.
Li Zhirui couldn’t help feeling fortunate more than once that he was lucky to have married a woman like Jiang Fengwu.
“I plan to venture out soon to seek the opportunity for a breakthrough,” Jiang Fengwu suddenly said after they shared a tender moment in the room.
Li Zhirui was taken aback. He knew it was the previous matter that had worried Jiang Fengwu, and she hoped to be able to help by seeking a breakthrough urgently.
“Alright,” but in both feeling and reason, Li Zhirui couldn’t stop her.
Jiang Fengwu was decisive; not ten days after speaking with Li Zhirui, she was set to depart.
“Be careful with everything. Don’t rush. Everything will come naturally,” Li Zhirui said, looking at Jiang Fengwu, who was about to leave, not knowing when she would return, a touch of reluctance and worry in his eyes.
“Don’t worry, I understand,” she reassured him.
Li Zhirui smiled and said no more, giving the little time that was left to Li Chengshuo and Li Chengsheng, the siblings.
“Practice well and listen to father. If you encounter any issues in cultivation, you can also turn to him first…” Jiang Fengwu gave many instructions.
She was worried she might not return and wanted to resolve everything all at once.
That’s because the place Jiang Fengwu was headed for practice was extremely dangerous — Green Lotus State, where cultivators and Demon Cultivators often erupted into major battles!
The location of Green Lotus State was unique, being the closest to the Central Region among the territories occupied by Eastern Region Cultivators. Westward lay the domains held by Demon Cultivators.
Just crossing over, one would reach the Central Region, the holy land of cultivation in this realm!
Therefore, the cultivators of Green Lotus State wished to wipe out the Demon Cultivators to the west in order to border the Central Region directly, facilitating exchanges and communication.
Were they not aware that the existence of these Demon Cultivators was orchestrated by the major powers of the Central Region to prevent a mass migration of cultivators from other domains?
They certainly knew!
But there was no way around it, they had to do this because the Demon Cultivators over there would also take action.
Although Green Lotus State was dangerous, it had to be said that it indeed was a good place for training. Many Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators had broken through their bottlenecks in the grand battles against Demon Cultivators.

“Alright, it’s getting late, you should set off now, otherwise you’ll have to spend the night in the wilderness,” Li Zhirui reminded.
Many Immortal Cities and Marketplaces do not permit entry or exit at night, mainly for ease of management.
“Then I’m off. Remember to take good care of yourself.” Having said that, he turned and boarded the Spirit Boat, which, amid flashes of Spirit Light, quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight.
“May you return safely soon!” Li Zhirui murmured softly.
After Jiang Fengwu left, Li Zhirui’s mood wasn’t very high for the next several days.
Fortunately, he soon adjusted his state of mind and began to promote the handover of the family leaders.
This time, Li Zhirui didn’t plan to engage in any scheming or trickery, but to decisively resolve the matter with a strong and final approach!
When Li Dayuan and all the Elders heard Li Zhirui’s summon, a thought simultaneously surfaced in their minds.
Some were disgruntled and unwilling, while others were worried; yet others were extremely excited and thrilled, as if they had been waiting a long time for this.
“It has finally come!” Li Darong exclaimed with shining eyes, unable to hide his excitement.
From the beginning, Li Darong had made up his mind to follow Li Zhirui’s orders, finding time to cultivate and preparing his successor early, just waiting to perform well in front of Li Zhirui and earn the favor of this True Lord.
But who could have anticipated the great battle between Shen Leishan and the Devil Race that followed, along with other reasons, resulting in this matter being left unresolved.
Now, he had finally waited for it!
“Are you really not wrong about the Great Elder’s intentions? If you are, then you won’t be an Elder anymore, but just an ordinary member of the Li family,” Li Darong’s spouse said with a worried face.
“Don’t worry, I’m absolutely not wrong!” Li Dayuan said confidently, “Just wait for your husband to gain the favor of the Great Ancestor.”
Li Darong entered the grand hall with an excited heart, seeing his kinsmen with somber faces, which made his mood even better.
Because of this, no one would contest him for being the first!
Once everyone had arrived, Li Zhirui leisurely appeared.
“Greetings to the Great Ancestor!” the Elders all stood up to pay their respects.
“Rise,” he said.
To forcefully push through with his plans, Li Zhirui had not informed Li Shiqing and Li Shilian, the two senior Elders, fearing that they would stand in the way when the time came.
At that point, it would either be him confronting the two Elders, or it would be an embarrassing situation for him, and a great blow to his credibility.
However, Li Zhirui’s movement couldn’t possibly be concealed from Li Shiqing and the others.
“Zhirui is getting impatient.” Li Shiqing sighed helplessly.
He hesitated whether to rush over now.
Li Shiqing was worried about the family becoming unstable, and at the same time, concerned about damaging Li Zhirui’s authority and face.
