Chapter 1514: Chapter 1226: Founding

However, when Li Yunran returned to Mount Wanxian to report this matter, Li Zhirui was still in closed-door cultivation, so he could only find Xiaoqing and speak about Shen’s breakthrough during Tribulation Transcendence, achieving the status of Human Immortal.

“Spirit Ancestor Qingpeng, do you know about Ginseng Spirit Ancestor?” Finally, he voiced the doubt in his heart.

“You say Shen broke through to become a Human Immortal? Could it be that he truly accomplished it?!”

Clearly, Xiaoqing was aware of the situation; a trace of shock appeared on his face, and upon closer observation, there was also a hint of envy.

Others did not know what Shen did, so naturally, they wouldn’t understand, but he knew and realized how rare and precious this achievement was.

It can be said that as long as Shen doesn’t run into problems or cause harm to the heavens and earth, and refrains from acquiring excessive Karmic Force, his path to becoming a Heavenly Immortal would be smooth and unobstructed!

“Spirit Ancestor, what’s wrong with you?” Seeing Xiaoqing lost in thought and not responding for a long time, Li Yunran cautiously called out.

“Oh? It’s nothing, just got too engrossed in thought.”

Xiaoqing cleared his thoughts and said, “This matter is of great importance, and it’s not appropriate to reveal it externally for now. It’s better to wait until Jiu emerges from seclusion, and then discuss whether to disclose it.”

“Until then, you should also refrain from talking about it externally.”

As for the other clan members helping as protectors, their cultivation levels were lower, their vision insufficient, so they couldn’t discern any issues. Only Li Yunran noticed some peculiarities.

“Alright.”

Seeing Xiaoqing so solemn, Li Yunran naturally dared not be negligent, but his curiosity grew even stronger, wanting to know what exactly was going on.

After sending him off, Xiaoqing went to Li Zhirui’s cave mansion to leave this message.

Spring turned to autumn, and roughly a year later, Li Zhirui learned of the matter.

“I never thought Shen really succeeded!”

His first reaction was one of shock and surprise.

To be honest, Li Zhirui had very little expectation for Shen’s success, thinking that since Shen had already broken through the Individual Immortal Realm, he didn’t need to worry about lifespan, so he just let him go.

Once time passed without success, he would surely focus his mind on cultivation and not consider establishing a branch in the Immortal Tao.

But who would have thought, Shen really succeeded!

Li Zhirui sat cross-legged on the mat, pondered for a moment, and decided to personally visit to learn about the cultivation path Shen developed, before making any further plans.

A gentle breeze flew by, and before long, he appeared in the Changli Mountain Range, in front of the Spirit Mountain where Shen and Mu were in seclusion.

Soon, two beams of Spirit Light landed in front of Li Zhirui, revealing Shen and Mu.

“Jiu!”

Li Zhirui’s gaze focused on Shen, expressing admiration, “After so many years apart, I never thought you would truly achieve such a great accomplishment!”

Ever since he decided to go into seclusion in the Changli Mountain Range and pioneer a new path, they hadn’t seen each other; this was their first meeting since parting ways.

“Jiu, you praise me too much. I’m just starting, but I owe much to the family’s ‘Earth Spirit Tao Record,’ and your original cultivation techniques, they gave me plenty of inspiration; otherwise, I wouldn’t have succeeded.” Shen said with a smile.

“No need for modesty.”

Li Zhirui shook his head; pioneering a new cultivation path is not easy. Moreover, the family didn’t offer much support, Shen did it mostly on his own, with help from Mu.

“Could you tell me what’s unique and different about your Earth Immortal path?”

“Certainly.”

Shen began to narrate the Earth Immortal path he had created, “Unlike the current Immortal Tao methods, the philosophy of the Earth Immortal path leans more towards the Divine Path, emphasizing harmony with heaven and earth…”

“I also got a crucial insight from the ‘Earth Spirit Tao Record,’ to place Cave Heaven back into the external world, cultivating from an initial blessed land, gradually advancing it to a Cave Heaven…”

This explanation lasted for several hours.

Li Zhirui patiently listened until the end, roughly grasping the uniqueness and crucial aspects of the Earth Immortal path, contemplating for a moment, then said, “Your Earth Immortal path, the advantages and drawbacks are all within Cave Heaven.”

“Before establishing Cave Heaven, the cultivated blessed land serves one purpose: to produce Spiritual Objects. Once Cave Heaven is achieved, personal strength will greatly enhance due to the entire Cave Heaven’s support, significantly boosting combat capability.”

“However, this support only activates within Cave Heaven.”

One can consider the individual as the ‘Heavenly Dao’ of Cave Heaven; not only combat capabilities enhance greatly but they can also limit opponents’ strengths.

Another unique aspect is that once one fully masters Cave Heaven, even an ordinary mortal within it can possess the previous owner’s cultivation level.

And the effect of blessed land helps nurture Spiritual Objects for other beings, but it’s a tremendous aid to the Demon Spirit Clan!

As the Demon Spirit Clan generally originates from various Spiritual Objects’ chance birth of Spiritual Intelligence, they embark on the cultivation path; having a blessed land allows better nourishment of their bodies, greatly benefiting subsequent cultivation.

Though this wasn’t Shen’s personal intent, it indeed benefits the Demon Spirit Clan.

Of course, if it were just this, it wouldn’t be enough to support Shen in pioneering a new Immortal Tao cultivation path; at best, it’s some modification of the ‘Earth Spirit Tao Record.’

The crucial element lies in the Earth Immortal path benefiting the Primal Spirit Realm!

The Cave Heaven established directly embeds into the world’s fetal membrane, can transform the void’s chaotic spiritual energy while enhancing the thickness of the world’s fetal membrane.

Unlike the Cave Heaven within Li Zhirui and their bodies, which requires absorbing resources from the Primal Spirit Realm to grow and thrive.
