Chapter 1254: Chapter 1096: Flaw

Bang!

At the moment when the old Taoist completely died, he unexpectedly exploded on the spot, forming a brilliant Spiritual Qi Reverting to Primal!

The vast and pure spiritual energy spread in the sky above Mount Wanxian, and for a time, the surrounding spiritual energy became much denser.

“Hmm?”

Li Zhixuan noticed this unusual situation, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

Why did Spiritual Qi Reverting to Primal appear after killing an Immortal Realm being?

“Clan Leader, please collect some relevant materials.” Li Zhixuan felt that this matter was not simple, and she didn’t want to waste time on it, so she could only rely on the family’s power to figure it out.

“Yes, Ancestor Xuan, rest assured.”

Li Zhixuan nodded and said, “You all should hurry and absorb the spiritual energy, otherwise it will all return to the heavens and earth.”

Upon hearing her reminder, the clan members finally snapped out of their shock that Li Zhixuan had easily slain a Loose Cultivator, and hurriedly sat cross-legged, operating their cultivation techniques.

Although this Spiritual Qi Reverting to Primal dissipated completely in just an hour, it greatly enhanced the clan members, especially those with lower cultivation, who benefited the most.

Li Zhixuan herself returned to her cave mansion to continue comprehending the Life-slaying Laws.

She didn’t care about the old Taoist’s identity or whether there was a mastermind behind him. She only adhered to one principle: any threat must be eliminated!

Meanwhile, when Li Taichang was investigating and collecting the Spiritual Qi Reverting to Primal, the outside world quickly spread the story of Li Zhixuan slaying a Loose Cultivator.

“Whoa! You guys don’t know how terrifying that Sword Cultivator of the Li family is. That old Taoist was clearly stronger in cultivation, but in front of her, he was completely suppressed, not an opponent at all. He was killed in just a few rounds, and his Spiritual Soul didn’t even escape.”

“You’re describing it so clearly, did you see it with your own eyes?”

“Hey, you guessed it right. That day, I happened to pass by not far from Mount Wanxian and witnessed it all with my own eyes.”

The Loose Cultivator said with longing in his eyes: “If only I had such great power, I wouldn’t have to struggle to survive here.”

“Pfft! A mere Loose Cultivator dreaming big dreams? Just try to live a bit longer.”

“You!”

“Speaking of which, don’t you think it’s a bit too sudden for that old Taoist to appear? I’ve never heard of any enmity between the Li family and the Immortal Realm forces.”

“Are you implying there’s a mastermind behind this? To be able to send a Loose Cultivator, within a hundred thousand miles there is only…”

The cultivator speaking was quickly pulled by the person beside him, stopping him from saying something inappropriate.

“Hehe, I didn’t say anything like that.”

But every Loose Cultivator present was shrewd. How could they not understand the implication in his words? However, both families were beyond their ability to provoke, so they naturally didn’t voice it out.

In a small mountain shrouded in mist within the Cave Abyss Sect, a black-clad cultivator stood bowed and reported: “Elder, Sun Hezhong is no match for that Female Sword Cultivator.”

“Based on the analysis of their battle process, only by sending an elite Loose Cultivator cultivated by the sect with a higher realm might we have a chance to defeat her.”

The Elder hidden in the darkness, upon hearing this, slowly raised his head. His voice was as chilling as the cold wind of severe winter, making one’s heart tremble with fear.

“Are you saying she has extraordinary combat strength capable of crossing realms, with the ability to strike back at two minor realms higher?”

The black-clad cultivator spoke in a calm tone: “According to the battle’s analysis, indeed it is so!”

“She didn’t display too many techniques, only used the most straightforward swordsmanship without exerting too much power. The laws she mastered are also among the most lethal, the Life-slaying Laws.”

“Hearing this, this Sword Cultivator is truly formidable!”

The Elder’s tone held great interest in Li Zhixuan, and he asked: “Have you found out what happened to her in the past? After all, if she did come from a Sword Dao sect, with her performance, we should have some related information.”

“We can’t find any trace of her past, as if she appeared out of thin air. However, based on some clues deduced by the sect, she should have ascended from a certain Middle Thousand Worlds.”

“Hmm?”

The Elder frowned and murmured, “If I remember correctly, the Li family also seemed to appear out of thin air. They claim they suffered a great calamity, endured significant losses, and had to migrate here.”

Since the Li family began to show some unique and special traits, the Cave Abyss Sect started compiling all information related to the Li family, even events from thousands of years ago!

But back then, the Li family was too weak, and the Cave Abyss Sect was dealing with an important matter, so they didn’t have a good grasp on the intelligence at that time, let alone a Void Refinement family with only one Lianxu Cultivator.

Considering these two pieces of information, it seems the Li family might have a legacy in the lower world?

“Elder, shall we continue to send people to probe?” The black-clad cultivator, seeing him remain silent, had to speak up actively.

“No need! Unless we directly have a Human Immortal take action, it’s difficult for others to resolve her. Now is not the time to tear things open.” The Elder refused without hesitation, waving his hand for them to leave.

The black-clad cultivator nodded and disappeared without a trace.

“The origin of the Li family seems to hide many secrets.”

The Elder was keen to understand these, but as he mentioned, now was the time not to tear things open!

…

Mount Wanxian.

“Spiritual Qi Reverting to Primal initially doesn’t appear due to the fall of an Immortal Realm being, but in recent years this phenomenon has appeared, and the areas where it appears have denser heavenly and earthly spiritual energy.”
