Chapter 1331: Chapter 1134: Earthquake_2

But only Li Zhixuan knew that the previous risky maneuver had given her a significant improvement, both in terms of realm and Sword Dao!

If she were to encounter those five demon cultivators again, she definitely wouldn’t rely on near-sneak attack methods, yet only managed to kill two.

Except for that enigmatic female demon cultivator with unknown depth and strange methods, the other four would likely have perished under Li Zhixuan’s Mysterious Sword!

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.

Sunrise and sunset, year after year, time flows like a rushing river into the sea, with no chance of turning back.

For the past fifty years, Li Zhirui seldom left the Cave Mansion; not only was he cultivating, but he also spent a significant amount of time deducing the Precious Pill of the Loose Immortal Grade!

Unfortunately, due to the lack of a reference Pill Recipe, he has only managed to grasp a little insight so far, and it’s unknown how many more years are needed to perfect it.

As for cultivation, fifty years may be a lifetime for mortals, but for the already ‘longevous’ Li Zhirui, it feels like nothing.

He has gradually become accustomed to the changes that ‘longevity’ brought to him, becoming more peaceful, like the gentle spring rain, silent and unobtrusive.

However, the leisurely days of Li Zhirui are about to come to an end soon.

A few months later, after successfully advancing his bloodline and stabilizing himself, Mu began to transcend the tribulation.

Facing the fierce Thunder Tribulation, there was no trace of anxiety on Mu’s face; he just assumed the Qilin True Form, with all four limbs on the ground, standing proudly at the center of the Thunder Tribulation.

Crash!

The first Tribulation Thunder came as expected, a giant lightning pillar struck down from the sky, but it didn’t shake Mu at all, as if he had absorbed the entire Thunder Tribulation.

“Hiss——”

The observing clansmen gasped in amazement and envy.

“I didn’t expect this Spirit Ancestor’s physical body to be so terrifying, capable of resisting the Immortal Ascension Tribulation directly!”

“Indeed, but isn’t the Spirit Ancestor a Qilin Divine Beast?”

Da Qing, Xiaoqing, and several other Spirit Beasts were observing as well, as this was the first Spirit Beast of the Li family to withstand the Immortal Ascension Tribulation. Regardless of success or failure, it was a valuable experience for them.

“No, it’s definitely not just the physical body and strength that can achieve that.”

Da Qing, ever meticulous, suddenly laughed, “Has everyone forgotten that Qilins are Earth Attribute Divine Beasts? As the saying goes, with feet on the earth, one can continuously absorb the earth’s energy.”

Hence, that Tribulation Thunder was entirely blocked by Mu, borrowing this Secret Technique.

And although Mu is a Wood Qilin, he still possesses the characteristics shared by the Qilin Clan.

Li Zhirui fully relaxed, knowing that with Mu’s current strength and Secret Technique, the Immortal Ascension Tribulation was no obstacle for him.

As expected!

The following Tribulation Thunders still caused no harm to Mu, and up until now, he only made a move once.

It was during the descent of the seventh Tribulation Thunder that he finally acted.

“Ha! I thought he wouldn’t need to act and could forcibly transcend the tribulation with his body alone,” Xiaoqing teased.

Da Qing also shook his head, “Mu is a bit too hasty with this matter. If he had consolidated a bit more, he could have passed through this Thunder Tribulation even more easily.”

Rumble——

A thunderous sound that shook the heavens and earth exploded, followed by a Tribulation Thunder over ten zhang in size that directly engulfed Mu.

But beforehand, he had already prepared his response.

Mu stomped his front hooves onto the ground, establishing a connection and association with the earth, while a bright yellow light emanated from around him.

Mu now seemed like a small boat navigating in stormy seas and raging winds, needing to exert all his strength to ensure the boat didn’t capsize.

It was unclear how much time passed, but the storm finally calmed, and his small boat no longer needed to fear capsizing.

The last Tribulation Thunder passed, and a seemingly prepared black light flew out.

However, this Heavenly Demon didn’t trap Mu for long, just an hour before being stomped to pieces by him.

Buzz——

The Tribulation Cloud began to transform, with strands of pure spiritual energy pouring into Mu, aiding in the enhancement of his cultivation and more.

As the last bit of spiritual energy dissipated, Mu truly became an Individual Immortal!

Oh oh oh!

All the clansmen initially made a disordered noise, but as everyone gathered together, it turned into a tidal wave of cheers and strength.

After congratulating Mu on achieving Individual Immortal status, Li Zhirui left first.

While observing Mu’s Tribulation Transcendence, he gained some insight, not in cultivation, but in aiding the deduction of the Pill Recipe.

Fusion, guidance, enhancement!

This was Li Zhirui’s insight. He vaguely felt that if he could fully comprehend these three words, the Loose Immortal Grade Precious Pill Recipe he long anticipated might be deduced.

…

“Do you all think the Li family truly has great luck bestowed upon them? Otherwise, how could they continuously produce Individual Immortals? This speed isn’t much slower than the Cave Abyss Sect, is it?”

In an Immortal City inn somewhere in Shanhai State, a group of Loose Cultivators drank the cheapest and poorest quality Spiritual Wine, discussing the various major events between heaven and earth.

“Ha! You’re so uninformed. How can the Li family compare with the Cave Abyss Sect? The difference in strength between the two is immense. Have you all forgotten that the Cave Abyss Sect recently gave birth to a Great Ability above the Heavenly Immortal?”

Heavenly Immortal, ah!

For these Loose Cultivators, an Individual Immortal is already an unreachable peak, let alone a Heavenly Immortal? Or even something beyond?

“Haha, that’s true, but still, we are within the Li family’s territory now, so we should be a bit more careful with our words.”

Although the Li family wouldn’t get angry over such trivial matters, the clansmen of the Li family might not be so restrained.

“Let’s not mention it anymore!”

After a brief silence in the inn, another Loose Cultivator spoke up, “Have you heard? A tremendously violent earthquake erupted ten thousand miles southwest of Shanhai State, shattering a State Domain of three thousand miles square. Countless beings were buried underground, and even some Lianxu Cultivators couldn’t escape.”

“Now there are still many large pits left in that place, with magma faintly visible at the bottom.”

“Hiss!”

The listeners couldn’t help but draw a cold breath. They had seen earthquakes before, but such a terrifying one was unheard of.

“Fortunately, this disaster didn’t occur in Shanhai State; otherwise, you and I might have faced our end.”

Though tinged with schadenfreude, it was indeed their inner wish that natural and human-made disasters wouldn’t affect them, allowing them to live a bit longer.

Bang!

But no one expected that the moment those words were spoken, the ground felt as if it had been struck violently by something. In an instant, dirt and stones flew, the ground cracked, and small hills crumbled, turning into avalanches of rolling stones spreading in all directions.

“Damn it!”

“You jinx!”

After realizing what had happened, all the Loose Cultivators couldn’t help but curse, but no one dared waste time, fearing the humiliating death in an earthquake!

Dong dong dong——

For the first time, the bells of the Li family resounded throughout Shanhai State, the order within ringing was to close all Marketplaces and lift the flight restrictions on the Immortal City, allowing Loose Cultivators to escape as quickly as possible.

At the same time, strict measures were to be taken, if encountering Loose Immortals trying to exploit the situation, there should be no hesitation, they were to be killed on sight!

The most important thing was to caution all clan members stationed outside to protect their lives, as this earthquake was extremely violent, a complete re-enactment of the one in the southwest!

Fortunately, Mount Wanxian, as the Li family’s residence, with numerous Spirit Veins acting as rivets, anchored the entire mountain within the earth. Coupled with various restrictions, although the intense tremors could be felt, there was no risk of collapse.

“What exactly is going on?!”

Li Yunchang was utterly baffled; the frequency of these earthquakes was excessive, occurring half a month ago, and now again, with seemingly increased intensity.
