Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2067 1502: Gathering Together (Part 2)

The tone was full of envy as they spoke.

Don't be mistaken—the three disasters and nine calamities pose almost no threat to Jiang Fengwu, not because the calamities are weak, but because her power is too formidable.

If it were this group of passing cultivators, it would not be so easy; for them, it may very well be a life-and-death ordeal!

"This is the gap between us and those with great abilities."

Sighing, he glanced back, only to realize that the great ability had already left.

Jiang Fengwu was unaware of their discussion; she glanced briefly and did not pay much attention, transforming into a Spirit Light and speeding toward Mount Wanxian.

Within a few days, she returned to her family.

Then she was surprised to find that the mountain gathered too many clansmen!

Logically, many clansmen should be at the family residence or out training, yet Jiang Fengwu noticed at a glance the presence of tens of thousands of clansmen.

"What's happened? Is it possible someone among Xiaoqing and the others is about to break through to the Heavenly Immortal?"

But there's no sign of any Heavenly Tribulation gathering!

Jiang Fengwu was quite puzzled by this.

Just then, sensing her presence, Li Mingyao appeared and said, "Greetings, Fengwu Ancestor."

"No need for formalities."

Jiang Fengwu stopped him in time and then asked curiously, "Is something major happening with the family? Why are there so many clansmen staying in the mountain?"

"It's because Ancestor Rui will soon transcend, so many clansmen have returned, wishing to witness this moment."

Li Mingyao's words shocked Jiang Fengwu greatly, but she quickly calmed down, as this matter was not unexpected—Li Zhirui had been preparing for many years, which she knew.

"It seems I've returned just in time."

If she were a few years late, she might never see Li Zhirui again.

"There are still a few months until the day Ancestor Rui mentioned; you could spend more time with him," Li Mingyao said while observing Jiang Fengwu's expression.

She remained noncommittal, neither refusing nor agreeing, leaving without a word.

Yet Jiang Fengwu instinctually arrived outside Li Zhirui's Cave Mansion, and couldn't help but fall into past memories.

Between the two, the affection was not a deep romantic love but an enduring companionship fostered through shared paths; as time brewed on, familial affection deepened.

Both prioritizing cultivation over romance, and as their cultivation grew, their time apart lengthened. Although feelings became diluted, they nevertheless gained lasting fragrance.

Standing in front of the Cave Mansion for a while, Jiang Fengwu turned away, choosing not to disturb Li Zhirui's cultivation.

When he transcends naturally, there will be another chance to meet.

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui, adjusting his state within the Cave Mansion, was unaware of the events happening outside.

...

A few days later, Li Chengsheng, Li Chengshuo, Shenling, Mu Qi, and others returned to Mount Wanxian.

"Mother! You've finally returned from your training in The Void! I've missed you so much over these years," Li Chengshuo exclaimed the moment he spotted Jiang Fengwu, rushing forward to tightly embrace her, mimicking a child's demeanor.

Jiang Fengwu patted him, smiling and said, "You're grown now, acting spoiled in front of so many people, aren't you embarrassed?"

"I'm just too excited after not seeing you for so long."

"Mother!"

Li Chengsheng approached, greeting her formally, "Did you sense Father is about to transcend?"

"I only learned after returning."

She said while stepping forward to pat his shoulder, "You've taken great care of Shuo."

This time, with so many Heavenly Immortals gathered at Mount Wanxian, prompted by Li Chengshuo's suggestion, they began to engage in a Dao discussion and mutual exchange.

This action provided an opportunity for the clansmen within the mountain.

Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo took the lead, elaborating on the Dao of the Sun and Taiyin, followed by Qingpeng, Qingcang, Shenling, Mu Qi, Li Mingyao, and others.

Despite the numerous Divine presences, the realization of the Laws was genuine; mutual exchanges in Dao discussions benefited them.

Finally, it was Jiang Fengwu's turn.

Though her breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal Realm was less than Li Chengsheng's, her years spent perceiving Chaos Array Patterns in The Void had greatly enhanced her Realm!

Although not yet at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, she was on the verge of a breakthrough; returning to the family cultivation retreat, besides consolidating gains, she intended to breakthrough.

Moreover, the Laws she discussed were the most complex among them, challenging even the understanding of these Heavenly Immortals, much less the clansmen? It was akin to listening to heavenly scriptures, causing ordinary clansmen to feel dizzy and sleepy.

Realizing the situation, Jiang Fengwu stopped briefly, paused, and started anew.

But this time, she discussed not complex Array Tao but the path of cultivation.

Now, the clansmen were able to comprehend.

...

Time flew by unknowingly.

Like a flash, several months passed.

On this day, not only did Mount Wanxian gather numerous clansmen, but outside the mountain range, many loose cultivators and cultivators from other forces also gathered.

"Do you think that senior will really transcend today?"

"He said it himself, so he shouldn't go back on his word, right?"

"But didn't he say this ten years ago? How could he know for sure that he would transcend today?"

The cultivators outside the mountain engaged in spirited debate, even as each spoke in hushed tones, the collective effect was noisy and boisterous.

In contrast, the atmosphere within Mount Wanxian was calm and cautious, as if anything else would disrupt Li Zhirui's transcendence.

Time passed bit by bit; hours went by, with many cultivators growing impatient. Deciding to wait a little longer, if still no sign, they planned to depart and not continue wasting time.

But even as the sun reached midday, Li Zhirui had yet to emerge, no sign of any phenomenon either.

"Could he have tricked us?" someone suddenly voiced.

"No point waiting!"

If not for Li Zhirui's Heavenly Immortal Realm, they might already be cursing, venting their irritation and discontent.

As some began leaving, more chose to follow.

Soon, the once crowded area became somewhat empty.

It wasn't only outside cultivators who were puzzled; even Li family cultivators within Mount Wanxian wondered.

"Clan Leader, could we have mistaken the day? Maybe Ancestor Rui didn't mean today but another?" a certain Elder quietly asked.
