Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2267 - 1602: Adventure

"Teleportation Talisman..."

Li Zhirui murmured, the regret was evident on his face.

Clearly, it was just one step away to resolve the opponent, even if it was with the assistance of others, but as long as he could kill him, it would inevitably reduce a significant amount of karma.

After all, when a Profound Immortal falls, the spiritual energy that feeds back into the world is immense.

But who would have thought that Lu Wanli actually had a rare and invaluable teleportation talisman?

Although teleportation arrays are quite prevalent and common in the Tao Spirit Realm, a teleportation talisman is an extremely precious spiritual object!

The greater the distance, the higher the difficulty in drawing the talisman, naturally making it more valuable.

It must be known that a teleportation talisman is a special spiritual object, without grades, and creating one requires at least a Heavenly Immortal cultivator proficient in space law or a talisman maker who has mastered the teleportation array.

And the teleportation talisman Lu Wanli just took out, though Li Zhirui only glanced at it, the runes on it made even him feel dizzy, at the very least it was of superior quality.

"Alas!"

He sighed regretfully, then turned to return to Ascension Mountain.

Because both he and Zhang Daoyan knew well, they couldn’t do anything to each other, so there was no need to waste time on the matter.

But Zhang Daoyan didn’t leave immediately, instead, he stared at Li Zhirui’s junior for a long time, until he was completely gone before retracting his gaze.

He didn’t turn around, but his mind was as clear as a mirror.

Because they had not been without a confrontation before, and his confidence in his judgment was based on his formidable strength.

"The sect leader has returned!"

Li Zhirui hadn’t even entered the mountain gate when he heard a crowd of disciples shouting excitedly.

Previously, there had been no news, which made everyone quite worried, so they were discussing whether to send someone to observe the battle from afar, unexpectedly, the sect leader had already returned on his own.

"Look, the sect leader is completely unharmed!"

Though he appeared a bit ragged, there were indeed no visible wounds.

"Isn’t that amazing?"

"The sect leader can come out of a one-on-two battle unscathed? And it was even in a Profound Immortal battlefield with high-level cultivators."

"How powerful must the sect leader be to achieve this?"

The disciples were filled with pride and couldn’t help but take a breath of cold air.

"Moreover, if not for the sect leader taking action personally, in this battle, we would have stood no chance and would have no hope of survival if caught up in it."

Amid the disciples’ discussions, their admiration and worship for Li Zhirui surged.

Previously, the impression he gave to the disciples was mostly of a diligent, low-key, and profoundly cultivated figure, but more about his strength stemmed from his cultivation rather than independent recognition.

But through this battle, they gained a clearer understanding of his strength, realizing that even among the Profound Immortal Realm, their sect leader was among the most powerful.

"Sect leader, you have worked hard!"

As soon as Li Zhirui landed, he was surrounded by disciples’ care and concern.

If it were just one or two people, he might have enjoyed it well, but who could have thought that all the disciples would rush to congratulate him, afraid of being one step behind and missing him entirely.

"No need to get so excited, it’s just a battle."

The crowd was overwhelming, causing chaos, forcing Li Zhirui to release his pressure to quickly restore order, calming all the disciples down.

As for their earlier enthusiastic gestures, it could be due to half of their genuine intentions, and the other half was influenced by the coming great calamity.

"The follow-up handling of this battle is left to you."

With that, he flashed back to his cave mansion, starting to refine pills, adjust his breath, and recover.

Nowadays, even the spiritual energy between heaven and earth carries a faint evil qi, naturally impossible to absorb directly. Additionally, as an outsider, he didn’t want to get too entangled with the Tao Spirit Realm, so he more consciously avoided absorbing spiritual energy.

Fortunately, the consumption of pills didn’t count for much to him.

"Alas!"

Not long after, Li Zhirui had restored himself to his peak state.

"It’s such a pity."

Recalling the recent great battle, allowing Lu Wanli to escape badly injured, he still felt extremely regretful.

It must be known, battles between Profound Immortals cannot quickly determine superiority or inferiority, it is not an easy task.

To kill a Profound Immortal is even more difficult.

Characters like these, who knows how many millennia they have cultivated for, not to mention their own mighty strength, they have more than one or two life-saving means.

So, being able to severely injure a Profound Immortal in collaboration and sneak attack, and on the brink of killing him, only for him to escape using a teleportation talisman, how could it not be regrettable?

Li Zhirui shook his head slightly, erasing the emotion affecting his mental state, it was over, no need to immerse himself further, causing unnecessary trouble.

"Just when will the next Profound Immortal, aiding me in resolving karmic ties, appear?" In the next instant, many thoughts and ideas surged in his mind.

First, the simplest would be to wait at the mountain gate, but if luck is poor, he might not encounter one even by the end of the great calamity, unable to resolve his karma.

Alternatively, he could leave the mountain gate, even leaving Mingzhou, to explore places with higher cultivation levels, as it would be easier to encounter Profound Immortals.

Of course, he might also encounter terrifying Golden Immortals.

Regarding the power of Golden Immortals, Li Zhirui had almost no concept, nor had he seen with his own eyes a Golden Immortal taking action, so he couldn’t imagine it.

But regarding this, countless records are found in the texts.

No matter how lavishly described, the core factor has never changed, that is great power!

"No rush, let’s see first."

Crushing all thoughts, Li Zhirui got up and left the cave mansion, intending to carefully observe the condition of the disciples.

...

Elsewhere.

After a great battle, the environment around Ascension Mountain severely destroyed, the originally lush mountains and plains now became pitted and unsightly.

Yet not many cultivator corpses or bones were seen, mainly because the battle’s scale was not significantly large, with only tens of thousands involved.

Additionally, the tens of thousands of Tongtian Sect disciples did not leave the formation, sheltered by the Mountain Protection Array, resulting in almost no casualties, and naturally fewer corpses.

"Once this place is settled, it must be restored to its original state." A disciple stated firmly.

A fellow nearby shook his head slightly, saying, "No need to wait until then, we can start now."

"The battle is over, we can do other things."

Li Qiankun, not far off, heard their dialogue, thought it reasonable, conceptualized it, then instructed, "Quickly clear up the corpses, all spiritual objects left will be confiscated, belonging to the sect, and after an inventory will be stored in the warehouse or treasure house."

"Additionally, try to level the ground and restore the surrounding natural environment as much as possible."

"Yes!"

No one objected, nor did they qualify to, as the spiritual objects from slaying these cultivators belonged to the sect, not their private property.

When Li Zhirui came out from his cave mansion, the scene he saw was disciples spread out near the mountain gate, like diligent old farmers sowing seeds.

...

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.

The battle between Li Zhirui and the two was not uncommon in the grand Tao Spirit Realm, as despite the calamity having just begun, many Profound Immortal cultivators had already descended, encountering severe casualties.

"Damn it! How can my luck be so bad?!"

Once in The Void, having had a brief encounter with Li Zhirui, Dao Rhyme, who was being chased by three Profound Immortals, took the risk to return at this moment.
