Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

It's just setting up a Loose Immortal Grade formation. Jiang Fengwu selected a location and set up the Great Array within an hour.

It seemed rather hasty, but those with keen eyes would notice that the formation was quite perfect. Spiritual energy and earth qi surged in from all directions, continuously strengthening the formation's defenses.

This scene surprised the cultivators and demon cultivators who had been observing the movements of the Li family. They never expected that there would be a highly skilled Array Master among them.

Shortly after the successful setup of the formation, several more batches of beings arrived in succession, including the Devil Race, Sea Clan, Divine beings, and Human Dao Practitioners.

The yet unseen Secret Realm portal had already attracted major camps.

After all, no one is truly foolish. They obviously knew how dangerous it was to leave the Secret Realm, and compared to that, their encounters within the realm seemed insignificant.

However, this was also a good thing. Everyone balanced each other out, which would greatly reduce the danger when leaving the Secret Realm.

"Eh?!"

The clan member responsible for monitoring the outside seemed to have seen a familiar face that shouldn't have been there.

"Clan brother, look quickly, isn't that Da Fu?"

"Hmm? It really is him! How did he end up here?" The clan brother followed the pointing finger, and upon seeing, a look of joy spread across his face.

"Da Fu!"

Once they confirmed it was the missing clan member, they immediately shouted.

Li Dafu, who was scanning the surroundings, heard his name and looked over immediately. Upon seeing the two clan members, he didn't rush over to reunite but ran excitedly in another direction.

The two quickly realized he was notifying other clan members.

Indeed!

Not long after, Li Dafu appeared with the remaining clan members, entering the formation.

"Hmm? Where is Qingxuan Spirit Ancestor? Weren't you following the elder? Why can't I see him anywhere?" A clan member looked around but couldn't spot Da Qing and asked in surprise.

They understood that without Da Qing's protection, these clan members might not have survived until now. Unless they had hidden from the start, but such evasion would only be used as a last resort by no one.

Because doing so would affect their Dao Heart, offering no benefit to cultivation. Especially since their entry into the Secret Realm was not only for treasure hunting but also for seeking breakthrough opportunities.

To come in only to hide due to fear of encountering danger would be a huge blow to their Dao Heart.

"Spirit Ancestor accidentally discovered a Spiritual Object and is currently guarding nearby. He sent us to gather everyone." Li Dafu hurriedly explained.

Clearly, it was to avoid delaying his acquisition of the treasure.

Previously, there was no other way to ensure their safety, but now that they've found Li Zhirui, he naturally didn't want to keep them by his side.

"I see!"

Understanding, a clan member didn't probe further and asked, "How's the harvest from this trip?"

"Alas!"

Li Dafu sighed and said, "Your luck is better. You encountered so many clan members and Ancestor Rui and Fengwu Ancestor, allowing you to act freely. But we couldn't, so our harvest is just barely okay."

The clan member shook his head and whispered, "You don't know. Yunhuai and Yuntong have already perished!"

"What?"

"How is that possible? With so many of you and the protection of two ancestors, how could anyone die?"

It's known that a single Da Qing could ensure their safety, let alone the more powerful Jiang Fengwu and Li Zhirui.

"Why else? Greed! Ancestor Rui repeatedly warned them, but they thought their strength was unrivaled and weren't afraid of danger. What happened? Just a few days passed, and they died. As for how and by whom, no one knows."

The news was shared to quell envy and jealousy from another group of clan members.

Soon, Li Zhirui was informed that another group of clan members had gathered, while Da Qing was outside guarding a Spiritual Object.

The thought of the Spiritual Object piqued his curiosity since anything worth Da Qing's attention was undoubtedly no ordinary treasure.

After some thought, he informed his clan members and flew towards Da Qing's direction.

The distance between the two locations wasn't far, and Li Zhirui soon saw Da Qing meditating beside the Spiritual Object.

"Jiu! Long time no see."

Li Zhirui laughed upon hearing and said, "Ha ha ha, just two or three months, not that long."

"But your luck is quite good to have found a Loose Immortal Grade Immortal Elixir."

After a thorough observation, he suddenly realized he underestimated the elixir and said in surprise, "It's not maturing; it's advancing and evolving?"

"That's right. If this elixir succeeds, it will be a Human Immortal Rank elixir, whose value will skyrocket." Da Qing couldn't hide his excitement as he spoke.

Of course, Da Qing hadn't fallen to desperation. Even if he had, he wouldn't sell it, being neither a lone loose cultivator nor solitary.

But rather entrusted Li Zhirui with planting it in a dimension to continue growing, intending to use it himself for breakthroughs, potentially increasing his success rate by ten percent.

"Speaking of which, for such a precious elixir, you didn't invite us to help but planned to resist it alone?" Li Zhirui teased.

Da Qing's lips curled into a bitter smile, but said, "Jiu, you're joking."

He indeed had a bit of stubborn pride, but who would willingly bear this alone?

Once understanding this, Li Zhirui no longer discussed the matter.

Time flew by, and finally, the elixir they were guarding reached its critical stage of transformation!

"Prepare for battle."

An elixir's promotion wouldn't go unnoticed, after all.

Buzz—

Indeed, as Li Zhirui expected, a dense medicinal fragrance swept out as the elixir advanced, along with the absorption of large amounts of spiritual energy. Such a phenomenon naturally attracted many beings.

"The elixir is transforming and advancing!"

The sight of the elixir filled everyone's eyes with eagerness since such opportunities don't come often.

If one could obtain this elixir, it would be unparalleled.

Coincidentally or not, the Secret Realm portal opened at the exact moment of the elixir's advancement!

This indeed eased some pressure off Li Zhirui and Da Qing, as part of the beings chose to leave immediately without lingering.

Those informed by Li Zhirui, led by Jiang Fengwu, were the first to exit the Immortal Array.

Even after they left, they didn't stop but flew towards Mount Wanxian at full speed.

Despite this, many beings stayed nearby, waiting for the elixir's advancement to cease before attempting to seize it.

After an unknown period, the Spirit Qi vortex stirred by the elixir finally dissipated.

This signaled the successful advancement of the elixir!

But before they could act, Li Zhirui promptly stored the elixir and then quickly pulled Da Qing away from the crowd.

"Damn it!"

"Leave the elixir!"

"We can't let them leave the Secret Realm, or finding them again will be difficult."

The crowd hadn't expected Li Zhirui to play such a trick and shouted urgently, rushing after him like the wind.

"Want the elixir? Then prove you have the ability!" Li Zhirui mocked and dashed towards the portal with all due speed.

Because everyone was distracted by the elixir's advancement, no beings guarded the vicinity, allowing them to dive smoothly through the portal.

In the next instant, they returned to the Primal Spirit Realm.

Even then, neither dared to halt, hurrying toward Mount Wanxian without pause.

"Where did those two go? In which direction did they fly?"

In the next moment, a horde of beings burst forth.

Yet, their number was much reduced compared to when they were hunted within the Secret Realm.
