Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Roar!
With a dragon's roar that resounded through the heavens and earth, Qingcang took the initiative to attack the tribulation lightning!

The dragon and the giant beast collided in mid-air, and a fierce battle broke out.

The scene suddenly changed from one of tribulation to one of two monsters fighting for supremacy, determining the winner and the loser.

Ow—

Caught off guard, Qingcang was struck hard in the waist by the giant beast, and couldn't help but let out a wail. His massive body flew backward, and his momentum also dropped considerably.

This scene terrified the Li family, who feared he would fail to overcome his tribulation.

Qingcang was not defeated by this small setback. Without taking a breath, he rushed forward again and fought with the ferocious beast formed by the tribulation lightning.

Moments later, an unusual rain fell from the sky, containing both azure blood and specks of tribulation lightning.

"It seems that Suicune is doomed..." a cultivator muttered to himself, feeling quite sorry for her.

A deity who was originally very confident of breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm is now facing death and annihilation due to an accident.

This unexpected turn of events is truly regrettable.

"Can't you say something positive? If it's really like you say, the Li family will never let us off easily! They might even be willing to kill tens of thousands of innocent people rather than let one guilty person go free."

"Huh? The Li family wouldn't do something like this, would they?"

"Who knows? This is a celestial being of immense power!"

Among the crowd present were some quick-witted individuals who naturally anticipated this outcome, and their faces couldn't help but show some worry and unease.

At the same time, they sincerely prayed that Qingcang could overcome this calamity and successfully break through to the Celestial Immortal realm. Perhaps the Li family would let the matter drop lightly because of this joyous occasion.

This battle was fierce and evenly matched, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

Due to his lack of strength, Qingcang was constantly at a disadvantage. His scales were scattered everywhere, his body was covered in wounds, and blood was flowing freely. He looked extremely miserable and pitiful.

The ferocious beast also looked disheveled, but it was much better than Qingcang in every way.

At this point, the overall situation was practically set; failure to transcend the tribulation was only a matter of time.

But Qingcang did not give up. He gritted his teeth and swallowed several more top-grade pills, while consuming merit points to enhance his combat power.

Roar!
With a deafening dragon roar, Qingcang seemed to have fully recovered and charged towards the tribulation lightning beast with countless seawater capable of submerging mountains and rivers.

In contrast, tribulation lightning, which lacks intelligence, cannot heal itself; once its power is exhausted, it is exhausted.

In an instant, the situation took a dramatic turn.

Qingcang's move stunned the group of cultivators, but upon closer examination, it seemed that this was the only way to break the deadlock.

Although this action will cause extremely serious internal injuries, even damaging the very foundation of one's body, if one cannot overcome this calamity, one will die on the spot!
Isn't it obvious which of the two is more important?

As Qingcang regained his strength, he, who had been constantly suppressed, began to turn the tables and suppress the tribulation lightning.

Moreover, because most of the power of the tribulation lightning had been consumed, his strength began to decline, making it easier for Qing Cang.

Boom——

A colossal wave appeared out of nowhere and slammed heavily onto the lightning tribulation, causing its shape to shift and nearly collapsing.

The thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls that followed emitted a dazzling and brilliant spiritual light, delivering the final blow to the tribulation lightning.

With a loud bang, the enormous tribulation lightning beast was smashed to pieces, turning into specks of lightning that scattered everywhere.

"Whoohoo-"

After defeating this formidable enemy, Qingcang could no longer maintain his massive true form and reverted to his human form. He staggered and almost fell into the sea.

However, looking at his pale face and listless aura, one can't help but worry: can he overcome the inner demons he is about to face?
Although the tribulation of inner demons mainly tests one's will and mind, since essence, energy, and spirit are all interconnected, Qingcang's current state will definitely affect his Dao heart.

But as outsiders, they had no way to intervene and could only continue to wait in place.

Before long, a streak of black light descended from the sky and entered Qingcang's body.

At this moment, his condition was indeed very bad; the spiritual light emanating from his soul appeared quite dim, like a candle about to be extinguished.

However, Qingcang was still somewhat confident that he could overcome the tribulation of inner demons.

Because he practiced the "White Lotus Purification" visualization method that Li Zhirui had comprehended, and this method carries a bit of the power of purification laws, which is most effective in suppressing inner demons.

In addition, just in case, Qingcang had made preparations well in advance.

With a thought, several merit pearls hidden deep within his sea of ​​consciousness surfaced, then exploded violently, transforming into flames of merit that burned within his sea of ​​consciousness.

With the white lotus protecting his soul and the fire of merit weakening his inner demons, he safely passed through the tribulation of inner demons, and it seems that he hasn't yet.

However, after this ordeal, all the merits Qingcang had accumulated over the years were exhausted in this great calamity!

Moreover, due to the hasty refining of large quantities of precious pills multiple times, his dantian and meridians have suffered tremendous damage. Even if his foundation is not damaged after this tribulation, he will be severely injured and difficult to heal. It is unknown how many years it will take to recover.

However, Qingcang felt no regret whatsoever. Despite paying a huge price, he had achieved one of his major goals: to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm!
Of course he wanted to go further, break through to a higher realm, and transcend, but if he couldn't even break through to the Celestial Immortal realm, what was the point of talking about the future?

"call!"

As the lightning tribulation dissipated and the tribulation clouds transformed into a massive amount of pure spiritual energy rolling in, everyone, including Li Mingyao and his clansmen, as well as other cultivators, breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he was quite surprised, not expecting that Qing Cang, who was in such poor condition, would be able to overcome the tribulation of inner demons relatively easily in the end.

Aside from a few cultivators, they were all happy that Qingcang had successfully broken through. The former were happy because their family's strength had increased, while the latter were happy because no major disaster had occurred, the Li family would not go on a killing spree, and they had saved their lives.

Before long, all the spiritual energy was absorbed by Qingcang, and a powerful pressure spread in all directions.

No one noticed anything amiss, except for Li Mingyao, whose brow furrowed slightly before quickly smoothing it out.

As a celestial being, he was more familiar with and understood the pressure of celestial beings, and in his perception, the power of this pressure was much weaker than normal!

There is only one reason for this situation: Qingcang's injuries are too severe!

But Li Mingyao didn't have a good solution for this, because he wasn't an expert in it.

"Thank you all for protecting me!"

Having forced himself to finish speaking, Qingcang transformed into a ray of light and vanished, instantly disappearing into his cave to focus on healing his injuries.

After the matter was over, Li Mingyao did not linger and left quickly. He wanted to take the news back immediately and tell Li Zhirui.

As for the person who harmed Qingcang, there's nothing we can do; we simply can't find them!
The conversation between Li Zhirui and Qing Cang had spread so widely that many cultivators, especially rogue cultivators, flocked to the Myriad Spirits Sea after hearing the news.

Even though many cultivators left because they didn't get to witness the tribulation, there were still at least 20,000 to 30,000 who stayed to observe.

With so many people, the Li family simply didn't have the time or opportunity to find the culprit among tens of thousands of cultivators.

Of course, Qing Cang's successful breakthrough was also a factor; otherwise, he wouldn't have let them leave so easily.

While Qingcang narrowly escaped the tribulation of lightning, Li Zhirui, in another space, also witnessed the maturation of the Starlight Vines.

The originally gray vines suddenly emitted a brilliant and dazzling starlight, looking absolutely stunning and beautiful.

However, Li Zhirui had no time to appreciate it at the moment. Without hesitation, he plucked the starlight vine and sealed it in a specially made container.

As for the five spiritual seeds that matured from the vines, he found three new spiritual mountains to plant them.

Even if Li Zhirui has already figured out what he wants by the time these three starlight vines mature, it doesn't mean that they will be useless.

It should be noted that the vines are of a high grade and have a strong defensive capability, making them very popular whether for trading or for crafting magical artifacts.

The remaining two spirit seeds were intended for his family.

"Five Elements, please take good care of these spiritual creatures. I'll head out now."

Li Zhirui had not forgotten the momentous event that Qing Cang was about to undergo tribulation and attempt to break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm.

When he left the space, he scanned the doorway with his divine sense and was shocked to find that not only was there a jade slip left behind, but Li Debo was also rushing over from a distance.

Seeing his anxious, terrified, and angry expression, Li Zhirui's expression changed slightly. Could something really have happened?!

Without a second thought, he immediately appeared before Li Debo and asked in a deep voice, "Has something happened?"

“Rui Zu!”

"What happened? What's so surprising?"

"Something terrible has happened! Someone interfered during the Azure Spirit Ancestor's tribulation, causing the power of the lightning tribulation to surge!"

Li Zhirui's expression changed instantly, becoming extremely gloomy and ugly; he hadn't expected this to happen.

"What's going on now?"

"The Azure Spirit Ancestor survived the Heavenly Tribulation without serious injury and has returned to his cave to cultivate in seclusion and consolidate his cultivation."

Li Zhirui glared at Li Debo with annoyance and said, "You really are... such an important matter, why didn't you tell me sooner? You made me worry so much."

Li Debo then realized that his words could easily cause a misunderstanding, and his face turned embarrassed. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he said, "Yaozu is returning to the family. He might know something."

"Ah."

Li Zhirui nodded, then took out a jade box. "Inside are two spirit seeds of starlight vines. Please have the spirit planter plant them."

"If you have no further instructions, Rui Zu, please take your leave."

"Go."

Not long after, Li Zhirui saw Li Mingyao return to the mountain.

"Mingyao, have you found out who did it?"

Li Mingyao looked ashamed and said in a low voice, "There were tens of thousands of people watching the lightning tribulation at the time. I had just arrived when the lightning tribulation changed. I didn't find any clues at all, so I didn't search and just let them leave."

Li Zhirui did not scold or express any dissatisfaction, after all, even he had no better solution in that situation.

However, he did have someone he suspected.

After all, the only Celestial Immortal forces that had contact with the Li family were the Dongyuan Sect, the Sea Clan, and the Wanling Alliance. The latter two were alien races, and it was impossible for them to have traveled all the way without leaving any clues.

Therefore, Li Zhirui immediately focused his suspicions on the Dongyuan Sect.

Unfortunately, he had no clues or evidence to prove his suspicions. Based on mere guesswork, he would not cause any harm to the Dongyuan Sect.

In other words, the Li family had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

Although Li Zhirui was angry and dissatisfied, he was powerless to do anything about it. Moreover, he would no longer get involved in these matters to avoid adding to his karma and causing trouble for his transcendence.

"It's all over."

With Li Zhirui saying this, it meant that the family would no longer investigate the matter.

However, this inevitably dampened his spirits. He waved for Li Mingyao to leave and returned to his cave.

"The world is full of dust, so it's better to leave as soon as possible."

Unconsciously, such a thought popped into Li Zhirui's mind.

"It'll be here soon, it'll be here soon, just wait a little longer!"

As a powerful cultivator of the purification laws, Li Zhirui was naturally very sensitive to the filth and impurities in the world. He knew that the accumulated evil and impurities in the Yuanling Realm were not enough for him to gain enough merit to repay his karmic debts and transcend.

call--

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew by, carrying away all traces.

……

Talking two ends.

Inside the Dongyuan Sect's main hall, which was tightly closed, it was pitch black, with not a single ray of light or breeze penetrating in.

"What happened? Tell me in detail," the leader of the Dongyuan Sect asked directly.

"Reporting to the sect leader, I released the spirit insect as you instructed, and indeed no one noticed. The power of the lightning tribulation also increased several times over. But who would have thought that the Water Lord would actually withstand it?"

After listening, the sect leader fell silent. He had no other choice. Being able to produce that highly concealed spirit insect was already the limit of the Dongyuan Sect.

They originally thought they could ruin the Li family's plot by adding another celestial being, but in the end, they thwarted their scheme.

The only saving grace is that the disciple's identity has not been exposed, so even if the Li family wanted to cause trouble, they couldn't find a way to target them.

Moreover, the sect leader was well aware that this would be their closest chance to success, and that if another celestial being were to be born in the Li family in the future, it would definitely be within the heart of the Li family's territory.

Under such circumstances, outsiders cannot even get close, let alone disrupt the tribulation.

"Sigh! That's enough! Let's leave it at that."

After pondering for a long time, the sect leader finally sighed and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to target the Li family. After all, if they continued, they might be exposed.

Despite the greater strength of the Dongyuan Sect, they were not worried about an attack from the Li family; in fact, an attack from the Li family would be exactly what they wanted.

What we fear most is that the Li family will keep the evidence hidden and only spread it in secret, thereby damaging the reputation of the Dongyuan Sect.

Based on the sect leader's understanding of Li Zhirui, he would definitely do that! (End of Chapter)
