Chapter 804: Chapter 811: Burst the Bubble
Boom—
Rolling thunder resounded between heaven and earth, with continuous bolts of Tribulation Thunder striking down relentlessly.
Yet the person undergoing the Tribulation Transcendence remained composed and calm, skillfully coping with the explosive Thunder Tribulation. Surrounding him, the sound of wind howled as Wind Spiritual Energy surged from all directions, transforming into streams of greenish flow twirling around him.
Each flash of green light instantly turned into exceedingly sharp blades, furiously bombarding the falling Tribulation Thunder from the Nine Heavens.
Li Xianxun sat cross-legged at the center of the thunderstorm, his expression indifferent as he watched each bolt of Tribulation Thunder shatter under his attack, dissipating into fine sparks vanishing amidst the heavens and earth.
"Amazing!"
"This Elder’s wind technique is terrifying! It’s as if he’s the embodiment of wind. He can harness the environmental Wind Spiritual Energy, could it be that he possesses a Wind Celestial Spiritual Root? Even if not, why haven’t we heard of his name within the family before?"
Li Xianxun kept a very low-profile, never showing off in front of clan members, to the extent that besides the Elders who initially knew, very few within the family were aware of him.
Originally idling in the Spirit Realm, Li Zhirui, sensing such intense fluctuations of Spiritual Energy from outside, stepped out for a look and pondered for a moment before remembering who Li Xianxun was.
He was the junior who has not cultivated the Wanling Sutra and possessed the Xun Wind Spirit Body.
"If I remember correctly, he’s cultivating a Fourth Order Cultivation Technique called the ’Taiyi Scudding Wind Path Scripture’?"
With this thought, Li Zhirui’s brow furrowed slightly.
From the level of control over Wind Spiritual Energy displayed during Li Xianxun’s Tribulation transcendence, it was clear his potential was exceedingly high. Practicing a Fourth Order cultivation technique was truly a disservice to his abilities.
Soon he would transcend the Thunder Tribulation and achieve Nascent Soul stage. The current cultivation technique could no longer keep pace with Li Xianxun’s cultivation level. He faced only two choices.
No! More accurately, there was only one!
Either change the cultivation technique—if Li Zhirui remembered correctly, among those hundreds of cultivation techniques he acquired earlier, there were two Sixth-Order ones suitable for a Wind Spiritual Root.
Or have the family intervene to help him gather the subsequent techniques for the ’Scudding Wind Path Scripture’.
But clearly, the latter was not very likely. Firstly, gathering techniques was not something that could be achieved overnight. If they couldn’t gather them before Li Xianxun advanced to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, should he simply wait indefinitely?
Secondly, the subsequent techniques were of a high grade, and the family would have to pay a substantial price to acquire them. Li Xianxun would surely have to bear a part of this, which would undoubtedly add tremendous pressure to his cultivation.
"Let him stabilize his realm first then ask his own thoughts," murmured Li Zhirui.
From the techniques Li Xianxun used during his Tribulation, it was as if he could already see a Nascent Soul Cultivator beckoning to him!
You see, the first and most difficult step toward Divine Transformation is Divine Union with Heaven and Earth, and Li Xianxun’s handling of Wind Spiritual Energy already hinted at some essence of Divine Union with Heaven and Earth.
Li Zhirui couldn’t guarantee that Li Xianxun would definitely achieve Divine Transformation, but the odds were higher than for others!
Such an exceptional family member, Li Zhirui naturally would look after him.
As he pondered, the last bolt of Tribulation Thunder vanished, and a beam of dark light descended from the sky, entering Li Xianxun’s body.
But after just half an hour, Li Xianxun opened his eyes, having overcome the Heart Demon Illusion Realm in a very short period, which spoke volumes of his impressive mentality.
The more he saw, the more Li Zhirui liked him. Such a talented family member had, until now, gone unnoticed. If only he had been nurtured earlier, perhaps he might have become even more outstanding.
But on second thought, perhaps it was precisely because of this period of time that Li Xianxun had honed his current qualities? It could be that if Li Zhirui had intervened, he might not have turned out as outstanding as he was now.
Li Zhirui gave a light smile, activated a Sound Transmission Talisman, and sent it to Li Xianxun before turning to leave.
Li Xianxun looked at the Sound Transmission Talisman that had suddenly appeared in front of him, his face showing a hint of confusion, but as soon as he listened to it, the normally composed him was so overwhelmed by the immense surprise that he was dizzy and took a long time to recover.
When he had regained his senses and looked around, he saw no sign of Li Zhirui.
"Ancestor Rui actually told me to consolidate my realm and then go find him in the Spirit Realm!"
Li Xianxun murmured in disbelief, "Is it really true? Who in the family would dare impersonate Ancestor Rui!"
Fortunately, his temperament was exceptional, and it didn’t take him long to calm down, turn around, and return to his Cave Mansion to begin consolidating his realm.
——
"Another Nascent Soul!"
"How many Nascent Soul Cultivators does the Li family have now?"
"I don’t know, seems like the sixth or seventh one."
"If we calculate two Contracted Spirit Beasts per person, doesn’t that mean the Li family now has more than twenty Nascent Souls?"
"So fast! The growth rate of the Li family is truly astonishing!"
"The key is still their inherited Cultivation Technique which is truly against the heavens. After the cultivators break through, their Contracted Spirit Beasts have no bottlenecks, only Bloodline Shackles, making it so that as soon as a High-Rank Cultivator appears, the cultivation of the Spirit Beasts can also keep up quickly."
"Ah! I knew this technique was so powerful, I should have taken it away when the Li family was still weak; now, even if we covet it, we are incapable of obtaining it."
In a corner of Wanxian Province, several cultivators who belonged to various vassal forces gathered to discuss the Li family.
Their existence aimed to collect as much information and data about the Li family as possible.
"Perhaps, we should now recognize the reality that the Li family is not something we can resist. Bowing our heads honestly and following behind the Li family to sip some soup is the best option."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of several people present changed; they were all from relatively strong backgrounds.
Thus, their subordination to the Li family was not truly genuine; they always thought that while the Li family appeared strong, it was merely a house of cards that would collapse at the slightest mishap.
In fact, the reason for this illusion was that the Li family had developed too quickly, and they had always been immersed in their own delusions.
Indeed, the Li family could not yet compare to some old Transforming Spirit forces or even old Nascent Soul forces, but their foundation had become solid.
"Do you know what you just said?! The Li family! At first, they were just a small Foundation Establishment family, and now luckily above all our heads, you are actually planning to truly submit to them!" a cultivator shouted.
"But the reality is that the strength of the Li family far surpasses the forces behind us!"
That person calmly said, "Do you think the Li family doesn’t know about us secretly colluding?"
"They know everything clearly; they just think we are nothing more than clowns and say nothing about it."
"You!" It was like a beautiful dream being shattered, and, in a fit of rage and humiliation, he stood up shouting, yet didn’t know what else to say.
