Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan - Chapter 1332 - 1135: Fallen

Chapter 1332: Chapter 1135: Fallen

The commotion at Mount Wanxian quickly alerted Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu. They exchanged a knowing glance, and each went to handle what they were skilled at.

Jiang Fengwu stayed with the family, overseeing the Mountain Protection Array, stabilizing Mount Wanxian, which must not be shaken by the earthquake, or else the family’s centuries of accumulation might go to waste.

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui and Mu rushed outside, trying to see if they could mitigate the power of the earthquake, reducing losses and casualties across Shanhai State.

Some clansmen also started taking action one after another, hoping to contribute their part.

At the same time, Li Yunchang immediately gathered a few of the family’s Mountain Gods and Water Gods, asking if they knew the reason behind this.

But they were just minor gods; how could they possibly understand such matters?

Moreover, their Divine Domains were also affected, and for their own safety, they didn’t dare to stay outside for long and promptly returned to their domains, using their power to stabilize the local mountains and waters.

…

“Careful!”

Li Zhirui saw a group of mortals desperately running for their lives on the ground, but a massive crack suddenly opened beneath their feet, like a beast baring its bloody maw to swallow them all.

His warning was timely, but the group of mortals couldn’t evade and could only scream as they fell into the dark chasm.

Fortunately, at this moment, large green leaves suddenly appeared, catching them and swiftly lifting them back to the surface.

Because in the next moment, the crack began to shake violently again, with countless dirt and stones falling, seemingly on the verge of closing again.

This sudden opening and closing motion made Li Zhirui furrow his brows, pondering internally: ’Could this not be a mere natural disaster?’

In the Primal Spirit Realm, it’s said that earthquakes are caused by the Earth Dragon Turning Over, but the so-called Earth Dragon is generally not a real creature, nor a ’dragon’; it is the veins deep beneath the earth.

However, sometimes unexpected situations do occur!

For instance, when an Earth Dragon develops Spiritual Intelligence.

But such instances are extremely rare, with only a few occurrences recorded in Primal Spirit Realm history.

Could it be that they encountered such a rare situation?

“Thank you, Immortal! Thank you, Immortal!”

The mortals who were saved repeatedly bowed in gratitude.

Suppressing the many thoughts in his mind, Li Zhirui softly said, “Escape to safety as quickly as you can, head towards the plains, where the Li family has sent cultivators to protect you.”

Even though they might encounter various dangers along the way, he couldn’t possibly escort them to safety.

Without waiting to see if they understood, he quickly departed, as there were still many mortals he needed to save, and he couldn’t afford to waste time here.

In the following time, Li Zhirui traveled across many places, rescuing countless secular clansmen.

After all, people have varying levels of closeness, and in the face of a natural disaster, his limited power could only save as many secular clansmen as possible, and even then, just a portion of them.

Many times, before Li Zhirui could arrive, the clansmen would have already perished in disasters caused by the earthquake, such as landslides and ruptures.

“Alas!”

Li Zhirui sighed as he looked at what was buried beneath the mountain rocks below.

He had already used his Divine Sense to scan earlier; there wasn’t a single living soul below.

To deal with this sudden disaster, countless members of the Li family ran everywhere, saving as many mortals as they could.

Fortunately, in the past, to build steep cliffs along the shoreline, the Li family moved the mountains and hills from their original lands, so most areas were plains, making it easier to survive the earthquake.

But even so, this sudden terrifying earthquake turned everything within several thousand miles of Mount Wanxian upside down, leaving a mess.

Among all the family members, the most zealous was Li Mingyao.

He didn’t help mortals evade sudden disasters like other clansmen; instead, he kept everyone by his side to help them survive.

As a result, Li Mingyao saved the most clansmen, but his expenditure was also the greatest.

“Careful!”

“Behind you!”

Li Mingyao was in the middle of saving a group of mortals trapped by rocks when he suddenly heard countless terrified shouts from behind.

Without a moment of hesitation, he summoned his Life-bound Magic Treasure, the Mountain Seal composed of thirty-six towering peaks, activating it behind him. Layers of mountains unfolded at once, shielding him.

But to his surprise, such a strong and solid defense was like air in the face of this suddenly appearing enemy, who directly passed through the mountains and swallowed him whole!

“How can this be…”

Li Mingyao was in utter shock. He had imagined that one day he might die and dissolve, but never did he think it would be this kind of ending.

Despite the countless unwilling thoughts in his heart, they all vanished at that moment.

Unbeknownst to Li Mingyao, the entity that devoured him was the Earth Dragon, with its newly awakened faint Spiritual Intelligence, traveling all the way from Hundred Rainbow Province!

As a geographical vein, how could mountains and ridges stop it?

If it had been another clan member and not Li Mingyao with his Earth Heavenly Spirit Root there, they might have been able to withstand the attack. But it was precisely him who was present.

Originally, the Earth Dragon’s destination was the Changli Mountain Range, but sensing Li Mingyao in this place, it intentionally came to devour him, aiming to absorb his Earth Heavenly Spirit Root to enhance its foundation!

As for those mortals saved by Li Mingyao, they were collapsing to the ground, faces ashen, feeling like they would be swallowed by the Earth Dragon at any moment.
