Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 1891 - 1414: Capture (2)
A total of five people, and their common characteristic is aging, extreme aging, with a decaying aura already beginning to emanate from their bodies!
Such a clear feature indicates that their lifespan will last no more than fifty years.
"Unexpectedly, they really succeeded in their research..." The person spoke with surprise and elation, as he too could catch this ride to a higher world.
Even though increasing one’s lifespan requires Tribulation Transcendence and breakthrough, which is quite dangerous for their current situation, the power of the Thunder Tribulation cannot compare to that of the Ascension Thunder Tribulation.
"It’s just a pity that I couldn’t get the key part of their researched method of world maneuver, otherwise, even if I went to another world, I could use this method to obtain cultivation resources."
No one knows what measures they used, yet they have been secretly monitoring Bai Canghan and Gao Yunlin’s master-disciple relationship all along without being detected.
"If they can research it, can’t we do the same?"
"Alright, stop lamenting here, if we don’t hurry, the space rift will close soon," one of the elderly impatiently urged.
The group lingered for nearly fifteen minutes before finally setting off, flying into the space rift, each disappearing instantly.
Shortly after they left, the space rift suddenly erupted with a violent tremor, as if reaching its limit, and then exploded with a loud bang!
...
Meanwhile, in the Southern Domain of the Primal Spirit Realm, at the Great Marsh of the Human Dao.
As time passed, the space rift in mid-air grew larger, and everyone watched it closely; if anything emerged, they would act immediately, trying their best to seize it.
Beside him, Li Zhirui looked uneasy because during the wait, a Confucian Saint arrived.
The reason for his swift arrival was that he had been sketching nearby earlier, so upon receiving the message from the Confucian disciple, he arrived moments ago.
"Wu Sheng, the earlier cultivator was the first to react, openly capturing the Devil Beast, and used the Soul Searching Secret Technique to learn many things about another world," the Confucian disciple quickly recounted what had happened before.
Wu Huasheng glanced at Li Zhirui, then focused on the Devil Beast still clinging to life, shook his head slightly, and said, "It’s not time to act."
He feared that if he took action, the Devil Beast might perish directly, causing unforeseen circumstances; better to maintain the beast’s life and decide how to proceed after things settled.
After all, he has already set a restriction around, making the inside invisible to outsiders and preventing anyone inside from leaving.
As Wu Huasheng arrived, disciples from other schools felt extremely tense, worrying their elders might not arrive in time, missing out on any benefits!
Time ticked away in a tense and heavy atmosphere.
Suddenly, Li Zhirui’s gaze tensed up, mana inside his body rapidly circulated, making him shoot out like an arrow straight towards the space rift.
As he moved, Wu Huasheng hesitated for a moment, then flung the brush in his hand forward, unleashing countless ink spots transforming into various creatures, attacking Li Zhirui.
Meanwhile, he took out a landscape painting and tossed it into the sky, the scroll unfolded, revealing the depicted mountains and waters, merging into the surrounding world.
Other disciples from the Hundred Schools reacted a beat slower but still attacked intending to interfere.
However, Li Zhirui disregarded these means, merely summoning his Life-bound Magic Treasure, Thousand Spirits, for defense.
Initially, Wu Huasheng believed his previous attack assured victory against a Human Immortal Cultivator but was surprised that the attacks from the Mo Ling caused no harm at all.
"This person hid his strength!" In an instant, he figured out the situation, his expression turning sullen.
Just then, two figures flew out from the space rift!
Bai Canghan and Gao Yunlin were just about to savor the fresh air of the new world when Li Zhirui knocked them unconscious and vanished into thin air.
In that instant, they were rendered unconscious, their Dantian and Spiritual Souls sealed, limbs bound, and tossed into space, with instructions to Five Elements to keep them subdued, awaiting his further instructions when he appears!
"Hand over the people, I’ll let you leave!" Wu Huasheng said coldly.
"Sorry, these are my spoils of war. If you want them, you’ll have to wait a little longer."
With those words, Li Zhirui transformed into a rainbow light, rushing towards the north.
"Hmph!"
Wu Huasheng snorted coldly, "Do you think you can leave? Stay put for me!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Yet the sight that unfolded next left him shocked.
The paintings he set up—one enhancing defense, the other isolating outer and inner space—were broken through by someone!
Perhaps it was due to underestimating and not fully activating the power of the scroll, but even more so due to the opponent’s formidable strength.
"This person is not some Individual Immortal, Human Immortal Cultivator, but a Heavenly Immortal!"
Understanding the situation, Wu Huasheng couldn’t help but curse, "Damn it! Even I was fooled."
It’s a pity, realizing it too late, by now Li Zhirui was already far away, out of sight, leaving no way for pursuit.
So he had no choice but to turn around, waiting for someone to emerge from the still-existing space rift.
However, unexpectedly!
The restriction Wu Huasheng had set was broken by someone else.
Three individuals entered, hailing from the Mo Family, Legalist faction, and School of Names, all possessing the cultivation of a Saint.
Their first action upon entry was to set their own measures, preventing others from discovering this area.
Also, in case they gained nothing, they could slightly deter others, buying themselves time.
"Hehe, Wu, you were the first to arrive here, you must have gained something, right?" The School of Names Saint asked with a smile, probing.
"You’re asking me? Why not ask your disciples?" Wu Huasheng ignored them entirely, fixated on the space rift, hoping for more beings to arrive from the other side.
The School of Names Saint’s eyes flashed with a dark glint, and together with the other two Saints, they began questioning their disciples about the earlier occurrences.
To their surprise, before their arrival, yet another Heavenly Immortal Cultivator had already seized two people.
This prompted them to resolve to capture the next beings that appeared; missing another opportunity might mean there’s no next time.
Time flew swiftly, and another fifteen minutes passed.
Suddenly, the space rift trembled sharply, spitting out five figures.
The four Saints present instantly brightened.
Wu Huasheng originally intended to take all five with him, but the other three did not agree, simultaneously acting to thwart him, sending the scroll that would envelop all five flying.
Helplessly, he had to adjust his strategy, only using the scroll to carry away the two people on the far left.
The remaining three conveniently fell to the other three Saints!
Without communication, the four reached a tacit understanding, simultaneously removing their set measures, then taking their disciples and flying to the distance.
They weren’t greedy; having one informed person on hand was sufficient.
Moreover, they realized the space rift was becoming unstable, making further appearances of outer realm beings unlikely.
Staying any longer would surely collide with other schools’ Saints, resulting in uncertain consequences; it’s better to secure what one has.
...
On the other side, Li Zhirui, having broken through the restrictions, did not arrogantly fly openly in the sky but concealed himself among the grass and trees.
Furthermore, he needed to leave the Southern Domain as swiftly as possible.
As the saying goes, "delay causes change," and the Hundred Schools’ methods are immensely complex and mysterious, with a wide range, who knows if there’s a Secret Technique capable of tracking him?
Thus Li Zhirui must leave the Southern Domain before they react and set a trap network.
