Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

"Finally it worked!"

Li Zhirui held the starlight vine in his hand, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

After more than a hundred years of study, he finally figured out the special features of the Starlight Vine. Although its skin is tough, it can survive in harsh environments such as the starry sky and the void mainly because of some special substance inside!
This substance not only allows the starlight vines to absorb nearby energy, but more importantly, it allows the starlight vines to integrate into it, demonstrating a powerful adaptability.

In fact, Li Zhirui only spent a few years figuring it out. He spent most of his time figuring out how to use this thing and integrate it into his own Chaotic God-Demon Dao Body!

And after more than a century of persistent efforts, he finally succeeded just now.

Li Zhirui has made countless efforts for his future cultivation path, but as long as it makes his subsequent cultivation smoother, all the sacrifices he has made are worthwhile!
For him now, everything is ready except for the final push.

Once the Yuanling Realm has accumulated enough Yin and evil filth, Li Zhirui can purify it and gain a large amount of merit before he can begin his actions.

"almost……"

Li Zhirui felt that the time for his own transcendence was not far off!

All he needs to do is wait patiently.

……

Wanshan Mountain.

Having learned a lesson from being outmaneuvered during Qingcang's tribulation, the family issued a new rule: when undergoing a tribulation breakthrough, it is best to return to the clan's territory, or at the very least, to the clan's headquarters.

If you are outside of Shanhaizhou, do not risk breaking through or undergoing tribulation directly in the wilderness unless absolutely necessary.

Whether it was this rule that worked or something else, no more accidents occurred when the clansmen were undergoing tribulations. Even if they failed, it was due to their own reasons.

"I wonder when the Azure Roc Ancestor will break through?" This thought suddenly popped into the mind of Clan Chief Li Debo during his leisure time.

So many years have passed, and no more thunder has fallen on Mount Muling. This situation indicates that Qingpeng should have already mastered the divine office of the Thunder God.

Judging from Qingcang's situation, Qingpeng should be able to overcome the tribulation and break through, but why is there still no movement?
Li Debo didn't have time to think deeply about this issue before he went to deal with the mountain of family affairs that had piled up in his hands.

Only Qingpeng himself knows the answer to the question.

In fact, he could have broken through the tribulation long ago, but he had been suppressing it, wanting to increase the success rate.

After all, Qingpeng also knew that the power of the lightning tribulations in the world was getting stronger and stronger, and the requirements for those who broke through were also getting higher and higher.

Therefore, unlike Qingcang, he did not immediately undergo tribulation after acquiring a new divine position. Instead, he sought to enhance his divine position as the God of Thunder and improve his understanding of the laws of thunder.

After thousands of years of effort, Qingpeng finally achieved the rich result he desired: he mastered the divine office of the Thunder God, which was comparable to that of a human immortal!

Under these circumstances, he finally had enough confidence that he could safely pass through the Heavenly Tribulation.

Therefore, after a few more years, when Qingpeng recovered to his perfect state, he did not hesitate at all and directly triggered the tribulation of lightning!

Rumbling--

In an instant, the world changed color, and thick tribulation clouds rolled in, with lightning flashing and wandering within them, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strengthen themselves.

This tribulation of lightning did not cause panic within the Li family. Instead, it gave people the feeling that it was finally coming to an end, mainly because it had been brewing for too many years and had lost all its novelty.

boom!
The tribulation lightning was like a sharp blade tearing through the darkness, its deadly glint striking Qingpeng directly.

Faced with the threat, Qingpeng naturally would not surrender. Without him using any spells, a series of bright blue wind blades appeared out of thin air and slashed at the tribulation lightning at an extremely fast speed.

The incredibly sharp wind blades sliced ​​through the tribulation lightning, successfully resolving the first strike.

Qingpeng, facing the tribulation lightning, appeared completely relaxed, as if he were undergoing a celestial tribulation lightning trial and felt no pressure whatsoever.

Indeed, that is the case!
Why did he cultivate so diligently for so many years? Wasn't it so that he could be fully confident of safely passing the tribulation and achieving the realm of a celestial immortal?!

And as things stand now, Qingpeng's plan might actually come to fruition.

……

Boom boom boom!
One after another, terrifying bolts of tribulation lightning struck, but Qingpeng blocked them all with relative ease.

"The Azure Roc Ancestor's strength is actually this great?"

Such a scene did indeed cause many clansmen to misunderstand, thinking that his strength was extraordinary, and that he was able to pass through the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation so smoothly and peacefully.

"It must be the result of the Spirit Ancestor's seclusion over the years. After he comes out of seclusion, we can ask him what kind of secret technique he has mastered. The lightning tribulation is just like ordinary lightning, nothing special."

Just as everyone was discussing this, Li Zhirui, who had received the news, arrived nearby and asked, "How many lightning bolts are we seeing now?"

“Rui Zu! The seventh tribulation lightning is about to strike, and judging from how relaxed Ling Zu is now, he might be able to pass through the tribulation unscathed.”

Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui glanced at the situation of the lightning tribulation, shook his head slightly, but said nothing.

Nourishes—

A piercing sound rang out as another bolt of tribulation lightning struck Qingpeng. However, the wind blades, which had been invincible before, failed to directly neutralize the tribulation lightning this time.

Left with no other choice, Qingpeng had to intervene again to resolve the tribulation lightning.

boom!
For some reason, the power of the last few tribulation lightning bolts suddenly increased.

This put immense pressure on Qingpeng, but he felt no fear or apprehension whatsoever. Instead, he eagerly went to meet the challenge.

If he hadn't increased his magical power input in time, Qingpeng's action would have injured him and made his tribulation more difficult.

At the same time, after resolving the eighth tribulation lightning, he took out the elixir for the first time.

As everyone knows, the ninth tribulation lightning is the most powerful. Even though Qingpeng has great confidence in his own strength, he still needs to make the necessary preparations, mainly just in case.

And his preparations were not in vain!

And it was precisely because of this thorough preparation that Qingpeng was able to survive the final, extremely powerful tribulation lightning without being seriously injured!

After passing through all nine tribulation lightning bolts, demonic light descended instantly. An extraterrestrial demon descended from the darkness and entered Qingpeng's sea of ​​consciousness, beginning to weave a demonic illusion, attempting to make him sink into it.

boom!
But suddenly a thunderclap exploded in Qingpeng's sea of ​​consciousness. What should have been a colorless sea of ​​consciousness turned purple in an instant, like a pool of thunder.

"Damn it!"

In this situation, the inner demon had no way to attack, but in order not to leave empty-handed, it could only risk trying to cross the dangerous path in order to confuse Qingpeng's soul.

However, as soon as it approached, the Thunder Pool erupted, making it difficult for it to move.

woohoo-

Moreover, I don't know when it started, but a gust of wind that cuts through the soul has begun to blow through my sea of ​​consciousness. This is the most effective way to restrain the inner demons of the soul body!
The extraterrestrial demon, who had always been domineering in the sea of ​​consciousness, became extremely frustrated and uncomfortable after encountering Qingpeng this time. No matter how it tried, it could not affect Qingpeng. On the contrary, it became weaker and weaker, and finally dissipated with resentment, becoming nourishment for the other party's soul to improve.

hum-

The moment Qingpeng truly broke through to the Celestial Immortal realm, a great storm raged across the heavens and earth, with whirlwinds and roaring thunder, creating a terrifying scene.

This also demonstrates that his mastery of his divine duties has reached a considerably high level; otherwise, such a celestial anomaly would not have occurred.

Of course, it's also because Qingpeng has just broken through and is unable to control his power, which has suddenly increased dozens of times, causing his power to leak out.

Fortunately, this strange phenomenon only lasted for a moment, and Li Zhirui was there to stop it, thus preventing it from affecting other parts of the clan's territory.

"Thank you, Ninth Brother, and everyone else, for protecting me!" Qingpeng's first words upon opening his eyes were no different from those of the others.

"No need to be so polite, you should go and consolidate your cultivation level first." Li Zhirui waved his hand, telling him not to waste his time.

"Ninth Brother, has Qingcang already broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm?"

"Yes, he lived more than a hundred years before you."

After receiving the answer, Qingpeng sighed, but said nothing more and disappeared.

“Rui Zu, after the two Spirit Ancestors emerge from seclusion, shouldn’t the family hold a grand celebration to congratulate them on achieving the status of Celestial Immortal?”

At this moment, Li Debo suddenly walked to the side and revealed his plan.

"Um……"

After pondering for a moment, Li Zhirui finally nodded in agreement, saying, "I'll leave this matter to the family. I'll provide some precious high-level spiritual items for the two of them."

Speaking of which, the family now has quite a few celestial beings, but apart from him, none of the others have ever held a grand celebration.

First, it's their personal nature; they themselves are unwilling to hold it, and the family can't possibly force them. Second, holding a grand ceremony consumes far too many spiritual resources, and the family is finding it difficult to bear the burden.

But this time was different. Qingcang and Qingpeng broke through at too close a time, and Li Debo also wanted to take this opportunity to show off the family's strength and deter some cultivators and forces with ulterior motives.

Li Zhirui thought for a moment and took out some spiritual items from his storage magic treasure.

"These bottles contain top-grade Earth Immortal level elixirs, which can be used to treat injuries; the rest are all Earth Immortal level spiritual fruits."

With these, plus some low-level spiritual food and wine, it would already be a sumptuous and precious feast that no one could find fault with.

As for why there are no Celestial Immortal-level spiritual items? Naturally, it's because they are too precious. There aren't enough for our own family, so how could we possibly use them to entertain outsiders?
With the spiritual items given by Li Zhirui, Li Debo was even more confident in successfully organizing the ceremony.

Next came the preparations. Li Zhirui simply left everything to his family, letting them make the arrangements, as he had great trust in them.

After that, he was done with everything and disappeared instantly.

……

"I never expected the Li family to be so powerful! They've actually produced two more Celestial Immortals!"

"If things continue like this, the Li family might become a powerful force comparable to the Dongyuan Sect."

"What a pity, I wasn't born into a better family. If only I were a cultivator from the Li family!"

Even those with poor aptitude can obtain sufficient spiritual resources for their own cultivation, instead of working hard and risking their lives to earn very few spirit stones, as is the case now.

Such shocking news spread like wildfire, as if it had grown wings.

However, the news that the Li family had produced two Celestial Immortals in just over a hundred years still attracted the attention of many powerful forces.

This also allowed the Li family, a small force residing in a remote corner, to truly step into the threshold of becoming a major power.

Li Zhirui, Li Zhixuan, Jiang Fengwu, Qingpeng, Qingcang, Canling, Muqi, Li Chengsheng, Li Chengshuo, and Li Mingyao—if you count carefully, the Li family already has ten celestial beings!
Although Shen Ling, Mu Qi, Li Chengsheng, and Li Chengshuo rarely return to Wanxian Mountain, they have not severed ties with the Li family. In the eyes of outsiders, they naturally still belong to the Li family.

Among these forces, the one that reacted most violently was the Dongyuan Sect, which relied on the Li family!

"No! We can't let the Li family continue to grow! They're already threatening our position!" an elder said loudly and vehemently.

"That's right! We must find a way to limit the Li family's growth; if necessary, we can even take action!"

The elders were not short-sighted; they had earned their positions through genuine ability and naturally recognized the threat posed by the Li family.

Unfortunately, they realized it too late.

"The Li family's power is now firmly established!"

Seeing this scene inside the hall, the sect leader sighed and murmured, "It's too late!"

If they had reacted this way before, he would have been very happy, because the Li family was relatively easy to deal with back then.

But now, the Li family has two more celestial beings, and they are even gods, one of whom is the god of wind. If they do anything underhanded in Shanhai Prefecture, he will probably find out very quickly.

The intense atmosphere in the hall was abruptly cut short, becoming heavy and somber.

"Sect Leader, what do you suggest we do?" an elder asked hesitantly.

"Wait!"

The sect leader's gaze was sharp, and he said firmly, "We'll wait for something to happen to the Li family, or for our own strength to increase!"

To be honest, he was more looking forward to the latter, but unfortunately, the elders only had eyes for the former.

They pinned their hopes on the Li family...

Upon seeing this scene, the sect leader couldn't help but sigh inwardly once again.

……

Speaking from both sides.

To hold a grand celebration, the entire Li family mobilized.

"Chieftain, which forces should we send invitations to?"

“Dongyuan Sect, Xiaxian Sect, He Family of Yumen, Five Elements Sect…” Li Debo named all the Celestial Immortal forces in the east.

In fact, for those forces that are too far away, although we send invitations, it's just out of politeness, and we don't really expect them to come.

However, just to be on the safe side, Li Debo still prepared a feast for them, just in case they came.

"As for the nearby Earth Immortal and Human Immortal forces, the family also sent invitations, but the level of formality was somewhat lower." (End of Chapter)
