Chapter 1792 - 1365: Preparations

Oh oh oh—

After Li Zhirui disappeared, the family members seemed to react, unable to restrain their loud exclamations, with overwhelming waves of joy and excitement.

"Great, great, great! Jiu has successfully broken through to Heavenly Immortal!"

Even Li Zhixuan, Jiang Fengwu, and others showed intense excitement on their faces.

The birth of a Heavenly Immortal signifies that the Li family has qualified to enter the highest tier of the Primal Spirit Realm! It means access to more secrets and stories, as well as opportunities to acquire many Spiritual Objects.

Such as pulling in the Taixu Illusionary Realm!

It should be noted, ordinary forces can only passively accept the Taixu Illusionary Realm; if lucky, it may fall towards you, merging into this world, but if unlucky, it will be entirely unrelated to you.

But it’s different for a Heavenly Immortal, they can draw in the Taixu Illusionary Realm from The Void, deciding the position according to their own ideas.

The benefits of the Taixu Illusionary Realm, naturally, need not be elaborated, not only does the Heavenly Dao bestow Merit, the nature’s spiritual energy becomes rich, and during the merging process, cases of Spiritual Objects mutating or merging may occur.

Every occurrence of a mutated or merged Spiritual Object is a monopoly, a lucrative opportunity for a force!

Of course, Li Zhirui’s breakthrough also means that their path of cultivation has a clear direction ahead, along with beneficial insights and experiences for their breakthroughs.

After a while, Li Xianlang woke up from excitement and quickly said to Li Zhixuan and others, "Esteemed Ancestors, Ancestor Rui’s breakthrough to Heavenly Immortal is a major joy for the family, we should announce it to the Shanhai State, so all cultivators here are aware."

"And prepare to hold a grand ceremony to celebrate Ancestor Rui’s breakthrough!"

Xiaoqing looked at him with a pleased expression, nodding repeatedly, "That’s right! It should be so!"

"Might it be a bit over the top? Besides, with Jiu’s personality, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be keen on holding any ceremony." Though a bit dampening, Da Qing felt compelled to mention.

The scene immediately became quiet!

They all cleary understood the possibility of the situation Da Qing described.

"No way!"

Xiaoqing, realizing, spoke sternly, "Previously, the ceremony for breakthrough of a major realm could go without Jiu’s wishes to be held, but not this time! The family’s first Immortal Tao Heavenly Immortal absolutely cannot be passed lightly!"

"Even grand forces like Cave Abyss Sect and Xiaxian Sect must hold ceremonies for the birth of a Heavenly Immortal, how can the family’s first Heavenly Immortal be low-key?"

"Moreover, this ceremony is extraordinarily significant! Not only does it confirm to outsiders that Jiu indeed made a breakthrough to Heavenly Immortal, but it’s also an opportunity for the family to connect with Heavenly Immortal powers!"

Li Zhixuan nodded as well, saying, "Qingpeng is right! This ceremony cannot go by Jiu’s thoughts, even if he is unwilling, we must bring him up!"

"Zhirui surely understands the importance, and won’t refuse."

Anyway, they are now decided, regardless of whether Li Zhirui agrees, they must have him agree!

"Then I’ll go down to prepare for the tasks." Li Xianlang had no say, but since the esteemed Ancestors had decided, he would do as instructed.

Just like they said, Ancestor Rui should also know the gravity of this, and won’t refuse.

...

Dong dong dong—

A series of deep, heavy bell sounds echoed endlessly across the world of Shanhai State, lasting a full hour!

So clearly that all nearby forces around the Li family could hear it.

"What’s happening to the Li family? I remember the most crucial, the most emergency time in their family, the bell never rang more than twelve times, this time it rang for an entire hour!" a Loose Cultivator wondered in confusion.

"I wonder if it’s a calamity..."

Another Loose Cultivator worriedly said, "Within Shanhai State, spiritual energy is rich, Spiritual Objects abound, and the Li family hasn’t excessively exploited us, if something happens to the Li family, life would be tough afterwards!"

This approach by the Li family isn’t due to kindness, but grabbing more Loose Cultivators to gain more benefits.

"Are you stupid? If it were a disaster, Li family cultivators stationed in Immortal City would’ve shown up to prevent upheaval’s eruption, but they’re not appearing now, so it seems it must be a grand celebration instead."

"What grand celebration could make the Li family ring the bell for a full hour?"

Their doubts didn’t last long, for soon, Li family cultivators appeared with explanations, smiling widely as they said:

"An hour ago, our family’s Ancestor Li Zhirui successfully broke through to Heavenly Immortal, this is a big joy for the Li family, hence announcing it across Shanhai State! Also letting you partake in the joy."

Wow—

Instantly, Immortal City erupted in chatter, they never expected this to be the reason!

To them, the Li family has always been a giant, but Heavenly Immortal and those beneath leave entirely different impressions and awe.

"Heavenly Immortal! The Li family actually birthed a Heavenly Immortal!"

The nearby Loose Cultivators were too shocked to speak.

"Isn’t it too fast? How many years have the Li family been developing, and there’s already someone breaking through to Heavenly Immortal?" Cultivators familiar with the Li family’s history felt far greater shock than others.

Soon, excitement rose among Loose Cultivators, the Li family, celebrating this grand joy, would surely release a series of activities, letting them also benefit.

However, some cultivators also felt anxious, with the Li family’s rise in power, would they start external wars?

If war breaks out, these Loose Cultivators surely can’t escape conscription, and by then, they’d all end up as cannon fodder.
