Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 132 - 134: Dormancy
Li Zhirui, unconcerned about the consumption, poured out his mana ceaselessly, and the activity around the Spirit Source Spring became even more intense, its speed of disengagement from the ground also accelerated significantly.
If he didn’t want to attract more cultivators, he had only to gather the Spirit Source Spring as quickly as possible.
And Da Qing, having broken through the second rank and engaging in battle with cultivators for the first time, was extremely excited, continuously casting various entangling and controlling spells.
For a time, those cultivators were in quite a sorry state under Da Qing’s assault.
Moreover, with Da Qing’s profound mana, there was no need to worry about exhausting it, a benefit from consuming a large quantity of Spiritual Objects before his breakthrough while still in the first rank.
"Damn it, how is this Spirit Beast so troublesome!" The few cultivators teamed up, but they still couldn’t overcome a single Spirit Beast, their faces full of embarrassment.
As time passed, Li Zhirui had almost absorbed the Spirit Source Spring and was about to free his hands to deal with those cultivators along with Da Qing.
They noticed this, too; some gritted their teeth and retreated, while others turned fierce, determined to break through Da Qing’s defense.
Thud!
A faint sound that only Li Zhirui could hear echoed in the space, but at that moment, he had no time to check what kind of impact the entry of the Spirit Source Spring into the space would have, with a Primordial Restoring Pill in his mouth, he turned around to deal with those cultivators.
When they saw Li Zhirui make a move, they tacitly retreated, keeping their distance from the man and tortoise vigilantly.
Li Zhirui didn’t pursue them, but instead took this opportunity to quickly restore his mostly depleted mana and also took a moment to glance over at the dispute over the treasures.
The one he was most concerned about, Du Zhe, had, with the help of his companions, successfully acquired the jade bottle.
Moreover, when he looked over, he made eye contact with Li Zhirui, smiling at him after clearly seeing through his disguise.
However, he didn’t come forward to catch up but started restoring his mana, looking as if he wanted to continue competing for the treasures.
After all, who wouldn’t be tempted by the legacy of a Golden Core cultivator?
And the other treasures, besides those two Magical Treasures and the Golden Core corpse, all found their masters.
Those three Jade Slips each fell into the hands of three Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators, and judging by their calm appearance and underlying excitement, it was not difficult to guess that the Jade Slips contained some valuable information.
But Li Zhirui had no intention of staying any longer, first because everyone present knew about his absorption of the Spirit Source Spring, and they hadn’t made a move because there were more precious treasures worth competing for without wasting mana on him.
Second, his cultivation level was too low; even paired with Da Qing, they were only two Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators and stood no chance against a group dominated by Mid and Late Stage cultivators.
So, while everyone was wary of each other and engaged in battle, he quietly retracted Da Qing, wielded the Water Cloud Spirit Bead for protection, and moved to the edge of the fray.
Hum!

Just as he was about to leave, a terrifying pressure suddenly burst forth from that corpse.
All the cultivators who were fighting were so stunned by the shock that they couldn’t move, only uncontrollable terror spread across their faces.
And suddenly, complex Array Patterns appeared on the previously empty ground, emitting dots of Spirit Light, enveloping the entire inner area.
"Golden Core cultivator!"
This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.
And not just any ordinary Golden Core, the pressure was several times stronger than Li Shiqing’s, definitely at least Golden Core Late Stage, perhaps even Golden Core Perfection!
Li Zhirui was horrified, frantically mobilizing the mana within his body, trying to escape the pressure and regain control of his body.
If only he could take one step, he would be able to step out of the Formation’s range and escape from this dangerous situation!
Unfortunately, no matter how hard Li Zhirui tried, his feet might as well have been rooted to the ground, unable to move at all.
And Du Zhe, who was very familiar with the cave, also showed a trace of shock and fear on his face; he seemed not to have anticipated such a turn of events either.
"Hahaha, I, the ancestor, have finally waited for this day!" A somewhat dim Spiritual Soul floated out from the storage ring on the corpse, and with a laugh, a wisp of red mist flew out from the blood on the ground and entered the Spiritual Soul.
And as it absorbed more of the red mist, the Spiritual Soul became more corporeal, and the pressure emanating from him grew increasingly terrifying.
All the cultivators present realized that if the Spiritual Soul were to fully recover, they would probably all die right there.
But what use was it to know the outcome? With insufficient strength, under his pressure, they couldn’t even twitch a finger!
"Hehehe, you youngsters, let me tell you, from now on, you’d better stay away from these legacy caves. Though it seems you won’t have a ’from now on’ anyway," the Spiritual Soul said, seeing everyone struggling desperately, apparently amused by something, let out a string of strange laughter, and said, "Haven’t you realized why there are no cultivators from major forces?"
"Hahahaha, because they know, these so-called caves are very likely to be a means of resurrection set up by some old monster who has died but couldn’t reconcile with fading away!"
Li Zhirui’s heart was hit by a surge of shock — indeed, while the matter had been widely circulated, he hadn’t seen a single disciple from a major force!
Even on comparison, his background might be the best here, but it’s a pity that the Li family was just a newly risen Golden Core force, ignorant of many secrets and lacking in depth of knowledge.
"All right, I, the ancestor, have been merciful enough to tell you the reason. Now, you may die contentedly, remember, my Daoist name is Qinghua!"
