Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

"Ninth brother, why did you hide the fact that you have already broken through to the level of human immortal?" Li Zhixuan asked the doubts in his heart the first time he saw Li Zhirui after coming out of retreat.

Li Zhirui told her his original plan, and then said with a smile: "I just didn't expect Mingyao and you to make breakthroughs one after another, and the threat from the Great Zhou Dynasty is also very serious. The Dongyuan Sect can no longer take care of us."

Even though it was a mistake, since the outside world still didn't know about it, he planned to keep it secret until the day when he could no longer hide it.

Anyway, hiding his cultivation level wouldn't hinder his practice.

"As for you, you have gained a lot from this trip." Li Zhirui joked.

Although Li Zhixuan's aura didn't seem as strong as before, making people feel that he was not easy to mess with at first glance, he gave him a more dangerous feeling.

It is like a sword that will draw blood once it is unsheathed, and that will kill the throat once it draws blood!

"I'm lucky. I encountered an opportunity that is beneficial to my cultivation."

She didn't tell him the details, and he didn't ask.

"Do you plan to stay in the family or continue traveling?"

Li Zhixuan thought for a moment and said, "I will stay in the family for the time being, polish my heart, sort out my thoughts and experiences along the way, and teach the younger generation. This can be regarded as a way to repay the family for their support over the years."

"That's fine. The road to enlightenment is long, so there's no need to rush."

Li Zhirui suddenly reminded: "Don't pass on the way of killing swordsmanship to your clan members casually. But if you meet a suitable one, let the family test and examine it before passing on this unique skill of yours."

"I have no plans to pass down the Way of the Killing Sword for the time being."

Li Zhixuan gave a clear answer, and if nothing unexpected happened, she would most likely not pass on the killing sword art to her clan members.

After all, this path is too difficult, and it requires extremely high character and spiritual heart. Once one cannot control the murderous intent in one's heart, one is likely to go astray and start a killing spree.

And if it breaks out in the clan's territory, even if the family has many human immortals and scattered immortals, they will not be able to stop it instantly. If it causes slaughter in the clan's territory and kills several clan members, that would be bad and might even implicate her.

"Just make your own decision." Li Zhirui didn't care about this matter. The family now had no shortage of a technique that could be used to cultivate to the realm of immortality.

Moreover, her inheritance was indeed too extreme, and was not suitable to be the main practice of a force. At most, it would be like Li Zhixuan's previous sect, where a branch was specially separated to serve as a trump card and guardian.

After the greetings, the two began to sit down and discuss, learning from each other's cultivation experiences. After all, one can learn from others' experiences, and absorbing useful content from others' experiences is more conducive to generating new insights.

If there were outsiders present, they would be able to see a pool of slightly swaying white lotuses with a refreshing fragrance, and a black sword surrounded by blood and murderous aura.

These two visions are the manifestation of the results of their practice.

If they attack each other, it would be a dispute over the Dao, using their own understanding of the Dao to infect the other party, thus leaving pollution. However, the two of them are communicating and discussing the Dao, so naturally it won't be that dangerous. They will slowly start to come into contact and gain each other's understanding.

Apart from the core techniques and magical powers, the two did not hide anything and trusted each other very much.

That is why this discussion lasted for several years.

Both of them gained a lot.

Li Zhirui made rapid progress in swordsmanship, and the attack power of his supernatural powers was greatly enhanced; Li Zhixuan had a deeper understanding of the law of purification, and could better control his heart of Tao, and both of them had a significant improvement in their realms.

It’s a pity that this kind of discussion only had a significant effect the first time, and there was no significant effect afterwards.

"I'll go back and prepare the content of my sermon."

Li Zhixuan said goodbye and left, and Li Zhirui also retreated to sort out the gains of this time and integrate them into his own system.

……

"Xuan Zu is also going to preach publicly!"

"And it is said that she can also preach the way of immortality, which is more profound than Ruizu's preaching before."

"That's too far away from us. It's not something we can listen to right now."

Being too ambitious is a big taboo in spiritual practice!
If you force yourself to listen to content that is too high-level, you may very likely go astray and end up turning into a corpse.

"Even if I want to listen, I can't! The Dharma is not passed on to others. When the time comes, Xuan Zu will definitely exclude us."

Li Zhirui did the same when he preached. When he got to the profound parts, he would gradually block out the teachings from the tribesmen to avoid harming them.

Moreover, unlike Li Zhirui whose sermons were more general and aimed at the general public, Li Zhixuan's sermons were more oriented towards sword cultivation and did not cover such a wide range.

But no matter what, the preaching of Li Zhixuan, the powerful human immortal ancestor, is more popular than ever.

Because within the family, sword cultivation is considered the third largest cultivation school.

The first is the "Earth Spirit Record" which opens up the inner world and allows all great power to belong to oneself. The second is the "Temple of All Spirits" which allows one to contract with spirit beasts, grow together, and protect each other.

Others include those who practice the Five Elements techniques such as "Taiyi Xunfeng Daojing" and "Hou Tu Yungeng Daojue", as well as some smaller schools.

For example, Li Zhirui knew a technique that was quite common among family alchemists, the "Eight Trigrams Cauldron Pill Nourishing Treasure Book".

There is no difference between Qi training and foundation building and ordinary exercises, but after forming the golden elixir, one must refine a cauldron-like magical weapon, and then place the golden elixir in it, using magic power as fuel to temper the golden elixir.

The benefits of practicing this technique are not only that it can improve your alchemy ability, but also that the elixir will be very pure and it can save the effort of refining magic power.

However, the disadvantages are also obvious. Mana is consumed all the time. This alone is very unfavorable in combat, and there is no matching attack power.

Of course, most of the skills practiced by these small sects do not have the methods to reach the fairyland, but at least they can be practiced to the Mahayana realm.

In other words, this requires them to improve it themselves in the future.

Speaking of which, "The Book of All Spirits", one of the two major inherited skills of the Li family, was not originally a casual immortal-level skill. It was deduced and improved by Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo together.

Initially, the two planned to continue to deduce the method of the human immortal level, but were stopped by Li Zhirui.

One is that he didn't want them to waste too much time. After all, after the two of them became gods, their foundations had changed. If they did not continue to practice the "Scripture of All Spirits", it would be more troublesome to deduce the subsequent exercises.

Secondly, we hope to temper our tribesmen through this incident and see if they can find their own way.

Those who are able to cultivate to the realm of human immortality must have a certain understanding of their own way. What they need to do next is to continue moving in that direction.

Improving your own skills is a good way to do this, as it is both a summary of past achievements and an expectation for the future.

……

Time flies, time flies.

Dang Dang Dang——

The knock bell hanging in front of the cave door was rung. From the rapid sound, it was not difficult to judge that the matter was very urgent. So Li Zhirui immediately stopped the practice and appeared outside the door in less than a moment.

"Ninth Brother!"

"Ruizu!"

The senior family members including Daqing, Xiaoqing, Xiaocang, Li Zhixuan, and Li Guangjie are all here.

Li Zhirui's expression became more serious when he saw this. He had been in seclusion for a long time this time, staying in the quiet room for more than a hundred years before coming out.

But the harvest was also very rich, and both cultivation and realm had been greatly improved.

If they hadn't come to knock on his door, he would probably still be immersed in the joy of cultivation and would not be willing to leave at all.

"What happened? Did the sea clan launch another full-scale invasion, or did the Dongyuan faction attack our family?" Li Zhirui guessed.

Currently, there are only two forces around Shanhaizhou that can threaten the family.

"Ninth brother, it's not these things, but the civil war that broke out in Heaven. Cheng Sheng and Cheng Shuo have been implicated. I'm afraid the family can't escape this disaster." Da Qing quickly told him about the sudden internal strife in Heaven that broke out not long ago.

It has been said before that the sea clan has obtained the outside world, and their strength has increased greatly, which will also boost the power of the sea clan in the water god system.

Coincidentally, at this time, rumors spread that Ao De, the Water God Emperor, was plotting to become the Lord of Heaven, the throne of the Emperor of Heaven.

It doesn't matter who got the news, but it did trigger the ambitions of some people, which led to this internal strife.

Among these, some secret information was spoken privately by Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo.

After hearing this, Li Zhirui was slightly stunned. He did not expect that such a big thing had happened in the outside world. It not only involved Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, but also Xiaoqing, Xiaocang, Li Mingyao and other tribesmen who had embarked on the sacred path.

"Do you know what the current situation in Heaven is like?"

Everyone shook their heads. Not long after the incident, the Heavenly Palace was closed. If Li Chengshuo hadn't secretly sent the news, they would probably still be kept in the dark and know nothing about the changes in the Heavenly Palace.

Li Zhirui frowned even deeper. How could he give advice when he didn't know anything about the situation? He could only say, "Wait and see. Once we have a clear and comprehensive understanding, we can make plans."

"At the same time, you can also go to the Heavenly Palace to see if you can find out any news."

The latter sentence was said to Xiaoqing, Xiaocang and Li Mingyao.

The others went back and waited for news.

"Such a violent turmoil has occurred in the Heavenly Palace." Li Zhirui frowned, his face solemn.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that this is a very normal thing.

Because the Lord of Heaven, the Emperor of Heaven, not only has strength comparable to that of a celestial being, but he also has tremendous control over Heaven and the gods that have been conferred upon him.

Therefore, whether it is for the pursuit of stronger strength or greater power, it is worth it for those emperors to fight for it.

……

The story of this internal strife in Heaven began with a grand court meeting on a certain day.

At that time, Emperor Mu Ju spoke very directly about the struggle for the throne of Heavenly Emperor. Instead of engaging in so many conspiracies and intrigues and harming each other, it would be better to compete directly in strength. This would be more direct and would not damage the overall strength of Heaven.

When he said those words, all the gods present were shocked. No one would have thought that he would stand up and overturn the table.

You know, the fight for the throne of the Emperor of Heaven has been going on for decades, and almost all the gods have already chosen the emperor they want to serve, but they have tacitly agreed not to expose each other.

But the result was that it triggered a bigger and more violent conflict, and quite a few gods actually fought each other. It was precisely because the impact was quite bad and things had already begun and there was no way to turn back, so they simply fought to the end until the birth of the Emperor of Heaven.

In order to prevent the news from leaking, they simply sealed all the major gates of the Heavenly Palace and did not allow anyone to enter or exit.

"Fellow Daoist Ziwei, do you dare to fight me?"

The Water God Emperor Ao De went straight to Ziwei. In his mind, only the two of them were qualified to compete for the Emperor of Heaven!

The other four emperors are destined to be just runners-up.

"it is good!"

The four emperors did not expect that they would be completely ignored by the two, as if they did not exist at all. Naturally, they were extremely angry.

But no one stood up to object. Although they were not convinced, there was still a big gap in strength between them and the two.

If they still have a chance to fight for the throne of Heavenly Emperor now, but if they lose to Ziwei and Ao De, then there will be no chance at all!

Judging from their cultivation levels, both of them were in the late stage of Earth Immortal, with little difference between them. But when they really started fighting, Ziwei's combat power was far superior to Ao De's.

As time went by, Ao De became increasingly weak and could only resist with difficulty. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be defeated in no time.

But at this time, Ao De suddenly swallowed a pill of immortality, and his aura instantly returned to perfection, and he became even stronger than before.

"I didn't expect that you would swallow the Violent Spirit Pill for the throne of Heavenly Emperor. Aren't you afraid of leaving serious sequelae?" Ziwei said with disdain.

This is absolutely an excellent life-saving spiritual object. No matter how serious your injuries are and how much magic power is exhausted in your body, as long as you swallow the elixir, your injuries will heal and all your magic power will be restored.

But the price is also huge. Once the effect of the medicine wears off, the injury will become more serious, and the meridians and dantian will also be damaged.

If one is not careful, it will leave serious sequelae.

"Hmph! As long as I can defeat you and seize the throne of Heavenly Emperor, what do some aftereffects matter?" Ao De said in a deep voice, and rushed forward with a menacing momentum.

"Little tricks."

Ziwei said with disdain but his eyes were very solemn. The previous battle had already consumed a lot of his magic power. If he fought with him again, even if he won, he might not be able to continue to participate in the next battle!

The two top earthly immortals once again broke out into a fierce battle. Fortunately, outside the Heavenly Palace was a vast starry sky with no ordinary creatures, allowing them to use all their means to their heart's content.

After a fierce fight, Ziwei won again!

But he also paid a heavy price. He had less than 20% of his magic power left and had several wounds on his body.

But Ao De was even more miserable. Coupled with the backlash of the Violent Spirit Immortal Pill, he was probably half dead.

Upon seeing this, the Fire God Rongming's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he stepped forward and said, "I want to challenge you!"

"Humph!"

The three emperors of Muju, who were a step behind, did not think he was shameless, but were angry that they were a step behind and failed to seize this good opportunity. (End of this chapter)
