Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

But the reincarnated self has nothing to do with the past life, so she never thought about finding the reincarnation of the Dragon Carp.

Besides, even if she wanted to, she might not be able to find it.

"It's good that you've figured this out, I'll be heading back now." Li Zhirui saw that she wasn't lying and did not refuse further.

Before leaving, he glanced at Feng Peng beside him, seeing her still completely immersed in sorrow, he shook his head slightly, with a state like hers, the result during Tribulation Transcendence would likely be the same.

If she can't learn from this but instead gets trapped, unable to extricate herself, then her path of cultivation ends here.

Moreover, in such a situation, outsiders cannot intervene, otherwise, it might make things worse; she can only rely on herself to make sense of it all.

To be honest, Li Zhirui didn't expect that among Jiang Fengwu's originally contracted three Spirit Beasts, only Qingniao's temperament was decent, while the other two fell short.

Luckily she changed her cultivation technique, if she continued cultivating the "Wanling Sutra", who knows if she'd have the current cultivation, dragged down by Feng Peng and Dragon Carp.

Of course, it's not necessarily so either.

After all, the situation is ever-changing, not constant.

After Li Zhirui left, Jiang Fengwu glanced at Feng Peng and said, "Are you going to continue being so despondent?"

After saying this, she got up and left, leaving Feng Peng sitting alone before the Dragon Carp's grave.

It's a pity, she still showed no response, as if her heart had died.

After a few days, Xiaoqing and Qingpeng also learned of her dire state, eagerly coming to find out what was happening, but upon seeing her, they wanted to speak but didn't know where to start.

Feng Peng remained in this state for several months, ultimately becoming so weary that her body had lost a lot of weight, looking as if her mortal flesh was about to decay.

"Mother, don't scare me!" Qingpeng cried out upon seeing this, hoping to wake Feng Peng.

It's a pity, she seemed utterly immersed in grief and self-blame, completely unaware of the outside world.

And Xiaoqing and Qingpeng could only watch helplessly as her condition worsened, her vitality continuously ebbing away.

"Jiu! Jiu! Please save Feng Peng, she seems about to attain final rest!" That day, Xiaoqing ran to Li Zhirui, pleading.

He immediately understood what was going on, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Sigh! Her current state comes from within, and I'm powerless to help."

No matter how many Immortal Pills one has, they cannot save a person's heart.

"Jiu!"

"You should talk to Qingpeng more, maybe it will spark Feng Peng's will to survive, even if her Dao Heart is shattered, at least she can stay alive."

This was the only way Li Zhirui could think of to ensure her survival.

Xiaoqing left dispiritedly, not expecting that even the always resourceful Jiu was helpless in this matter.

"Sigh!"

With Xiaoqing's fuss, he lost the mood to continue cultivating, because barring any unforeseen circumstances, Feng Peng's days were numbered, and by then Jiang Fengwu, Xiaoqing, and Qingpeng would be heartbroken again.

Xiaoqing did as Li Zhirui advised, but it still had no effect; her condition worsened instead, and at this rate, it wouldn't be long before she truly attained final rest!

Spring passed and autumn came, time flew by.

When the first leaf fell, Feng Peng's vitality also dissipated entirely, leaving only a withered corpse seated before the Dragon Carp's grave.

It was clear that until death, she carried guilt towards the Dragon Carp, believing it was her fault.

"Mom!"

Qingpeng cried out in sorrow, tears streaming down.

Xiaoqing and Jiang Fengwu also had tears in their eyes, silently falling.

Originally, there was only one grave in the courtyard, but within a few months, another was added.

Li Zhirui also felt regret and pity, but more so anger at her failure to rise above, lamenting her misfortune.

He couldn't understand how Feng Peng could be so immersed in guilt, depleting her own energy and vitality, leading to the fall of a Mahayana Spirit Beast.

If it weren't for Jiang Fengwu, Xiaoqing, and others, he wouldn't have wanted to waste these months.

Rumble—

But unexpectedly, the day after Feng Peng attained final rest, the family faced an Immortal Ascension Tribulation, and the one transcending was Qingniao!

"Qingniao..."

A hoarse voice came from Jiang Fengwu, her eyes no longer filled with anticipation but with worry.

If Qingniao failed the tribulation too, then all her three Spirit Beasts would be dead!

Luckily, Qingniao lived up to expectations, not causing Jiang Fengwu further distress. She was successful, passing the tribulation smoothly and achieving the Individual Immortal Realm.

"Fengwu, what's wrong?" Just after the tribulation ended, Qingniao ran out, looking at Jiang Fengwu with concerned eyes.

Anyone could see how poor her state was—pale, dazed, her aura weak—the first glance could tell she was seriously injured.

"I'm fine, you should go back and consolidate your realm first, we'll talk more then." Luckily, Jiang Fengwu hadn't lost her mind and didn't mention Feng Peng and Dragon Carp's downfall.

If she had mentioned it, it would have severely affected Qingniao's mental state; it was better not to say.

Qingniao, somewhat skeptical, felt reassured upon seeing Li Zhirui nearby, and left.

Months later, after consolidating her cultivation and realm, she learned that her two companions, who had protected each other for years, both died successively!

"How could this happen..." Qingniao couldn't believe it.

Even though she anticipated this worst-case scenario before, she didn't expect it to come true!

And Feng Peng attained final rest the day before her breakthrough!

"Yes, how could this happen?" Jiang Fengwu thought she could accept it calmly, but now mentioning it stirred her heart.

Although this incident left many heartbroken, time washes away many things until they fade or vanish completely.

Time flew by, and decades passed in the blink of an eye.

Thanks to Li Zhirui's suggestion for improvement, the family's development not only hadn't slowed but had accelerated over the years.

Initially, some talented clan members were unwilling to cooperate, but when more and more members surpassed them in cultivation, they panicked and no longer dared to hold out stubbornly.

Also, in the family's annual small contest and decade-long major contest, many outstanding clan members emerged, which was beneficial for recording those worth focusing on in cultivation.

During this period, there was one noteworthy joyous event.

Which was Cang's Divine Domain expansion that was successfully completed recently!

Henceforth, not only was he the Water God of Shanhai State, but also the Sea God of the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area; his divine position was elevated, and his cultivation would gradually increase too.

...

On what appeared to be an ordinary day, the sky abruptly darkened!

The creatures of Shanhai State looked up at the sky, eager to know what was happening.

Then they saw something massive beyond the Nine Heavens, rapidly descending!

"What's that thing!"

"Could it be a meteorite from beyond the heavens falling into Shanhai State?"

"How massive must this meteorite be to cover most of Shanhai State's sunlight?"

Many realized it wasn't the entire Shanhai State being shrouded.

On the other hand, Xiaoqing, Cang, Li Mingyao, and others flew up to meet it, wanting to understand the situation for better response.

"This is..."

But when they saw the shadow, they were caught by surprise.

This was a mixture of shock and joy.

"Taixu Illusionary Realm!"

"Such a colossal Taixu Illusionary Realm, it's likely a dying Middle Thousand Worlds!"

"It's possible! However, this way, our family can't monopolize this Taixu Illusionary Realm." Xiaoqing said regretfully.
