Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 2027 - 1482: Invitation Card (2)

But as soon as it approached, the Thunder Pool began to riot, making it hard for it to move.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

And at some point, another wave of soul-cutting Gang Wind rose within the Sea of Consciousness; for the Heart Demon of the Spiritual Soul, this was the greatest restraint!

The Outer Heaven Demon, who had always acted tyrannically in the Sea of Consciousness, became extremely repressed and uncomfortable upon encountering Qingpeng this time.

No matter what it tried, it couldn't affect Qingpeng at all; instead, it only grew weaker, and in the end, dissipated with resentment, turning into nourishment that enhanced Qingpeng's Spiritual Soul.

Buzz—

When Qingpeng truly broke through to Heavenly Immortal, the heavens and earth erupted with wind and thunder, storms swept out, lightning roared, making it look thoroughly terrifying.

This also showed his mastery over the Divine Position had reached quite a high level—otherwise, it wouldn't have triggered such a change in the heavens.

Of course, there was also the fact that Qingpeng had just broken through, and for now couldn't control the power that had suddenly grown dozens of times stronger, resulting in powerful energy leakage.

Fortunately, this anomaly only lasted an instant. With Li Zhirui present, he stepped in to block it, so it did not affect other places within the clan territory.

"Thank you, Jiu, and all of you for guarding me as protector!" The first words Qingpeng spoke upon opening his eyes were no different from anyone else's.

"No need to be polite, go stabilize your realm now." Li Zhirui waved his hand, telling him not to waste time.

"Jiu, has Qingcang already broken through to Heavenly Immortal?"

"Yes, over a hundred years before you."

After getting the answer, Qingpeng sighed, but said no more and disappeared straight away.

"Ancestor Rui, once the two Spirit Ancestors come out of seclusion, should the clan hold a grand celebration to congratulate them on attaining the honor of Heavenly Immortal?"

At this moment, Li Debo suddenly walked up and voiced his plans.

"Hmm..."

Li Zhirui pondered for a moment, but ultimately nodded in agreement, saying, "Let the clan handle this. I'll provide some of the precious high-grade spiritual objects for both of them."

Honestly, the clan now had quite a few Heavenly Immortals, but besides himself, none of the others had ever held a major celebration.

Firstly, it's because of their individual temperament—they didn't want to hold one themselves, and the clan of course couldn't force them; secondly, holding a grand ceremony consumes far too many spiritual objects, and the family couldn't bear the cost.

But this time was different. Qingcang and Qingpeng broke through far too close together, and Li Debo also wanted to use this opportunity to display the clan's strength to the outside world, intimidating any scheming cultivators and factions.

Li Zhirui thought for a moment and took out some spiritual objects from a Storage Magical Treasure.

"These bottles are top-grade Earth Immortal rank Spirit Pills, which can be used for healing wounds; the rest are Earth Immortal rank Spirit Fruits."

With these, and supplemented by some spirit foods and spiritual wine made from low-level spiritual objects, it would already be a sumptuous and precious banquet—none could find fault with it.

As for why there were no Heavenly Immortal rank spiritual objects? Naturally, because they were far too precious—even the clan itself didn't have enough for their own use, so how could they possibly offer them to outsiders?

With these spiritual objects from Li Zhirui, Li Debo gained even more confidence to organize the grand event well.

Next was the matter of preparations; whatever needed to be done, Li Zhirui left to the clan, trusting them absolutely.

After that, with nothing left for him to do, he vanished instantly.

...

"I never imagined the Li family would be this powerful! They've actually gained two more Heavenly Immortals!"

"If things keep going like this, the Li family might even grow into a power on par with the Cave Abyss Sect one day."

"What a pity, I wasn't born into the right family. If only I were a Li family cultivator—that would be wonderful!"

Even with poor talent, they could still receive ample spiritual objects for their cultivation, instead of slaving away, risking their lives for so little spirit stone income as they do now.

Such 'shocking' news spread quickly in all directions, as if it had grown wings.

In just over a century, the news that the Li family had produced two consecutive Heavenly Immortals still inevitably drew the attention of many factions.

And so, this 'small power' tucked away in a corner truly set foot into the ranks of great powers.

Li Zhirui, Li Zhixuan, Jiang Fengwu, Qingpeng, Qingcang, Shenling, Mu Qi, Li Chengsheng, Li Chengshuo, and Li Mingyao—counting carefully, the Li family now had ten Heavenly Immortals!

Shenling, Mu Qi, Li Chengsheng, and Li Chengshuo, though they visited Mount Wanxian rarely, never severed ties with the Li family; in outsiders' eyes, they naturally still counted as Li family members.

Among all those factions, the most agitated were those relying on the Li family—the Cave Abyss Sect!

"No! We can't let the Li family keep developing! They're now threatening our status!" a certain Elder said vociferously.

"That's right! We must find a way to limit the Li family's growth, and even take action if necessary!"

The Elders were not shortsighted; to reach their status, they certainly had real ability and had seen the threat posed by the Li family.

It was just a pity that their realization came a little too late.

"The Li family's momentum is already unstoppable!"

Watching this scene in the hall, the Sect Leader sighed and muttered, "Too late now!"

If they had reacted like this earlier, he would've been delighted—for back then, the Li family was much easier to deal with.

But now, the Li family had two more Heavenly Immortals, both with Divine Positions, one even being the Wind God. If they tried anything in Shanhai State, they'd likely be detected very quickly.

The hall's heated atmosphere was abruptly cut short, tension replacing it.

"Sect Leader, what should we do?" an elder asked hesitantly.

"Wait!"

The Sect Leader's gaze was sharp, his tone resolute: "Wait for some mishap to befall the Li family, or for our own strength to catch up!"

Truthfully, he hoped more for the latter, but unfortunately, the elders could only see the former.

Pinning their hopes on something befalling the Li family…

Seeing this, the Sect Leader couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.

...

The story now splits into two sides.

To hold a grand celebration, the entire Li family truly mobilized from top to bottom.

"Clan Leader, which powers should we send invitations to?"

"The Cave Abyss Sect, Xiaxian Sect, Yumen He Family, Five Elements Sect..." Li Debo listed all the Heavenly Immortal powers in the east.

Actually, for powers that are too far away, even though invitations would also be sent, it was just a formality—nobody really expected them to show.

Still, to be safe, Li Debo prepared a banquet set for each—just in case they did come.

"As for the nearby Earth Immortal and Human Immortal factions, the clan will also send invitations, but those will be of lower grade."
