Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

The distance of several hundred miles was only a short while for Li Zhirui to reach.

And just as the clan chief said, a solitary peak, shaped like a long sword, stands here, soaring straight into the sky.

If that were all, he would at most praise the wonders of nature. But not long after, he saw a sword aura, as if it had appeared out of thin air, flying out of the mountain and piercing the sky.

It seems that the power of the sword energy is not very strong, probably similar to that of a Nascent Soul sword cultivator.

It is truly amazing that a mountain peak with no particularly strong spiritual energy and no special features has such a unique ability.

"interesting!"

A glint of light flashed in Li Zhirui's eyes. He immediately approached and used his divine sense to probe inside and outside the mountain, trying to find out the cause of the sword energy.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes and withdrew his divine sense. He did not find anything special or strange. It seemed to be just a mountain with a peculiar shape, but its essence was very ordinary.

This result was not unexpected.

Sword Mountain has existed here for countless years, and the many powerful and ancient Celestial Immortals of the Myriad Spirits Alliance must have come to investigate long ago, yet no one has been able to find the reason.

After all, if they had found the answer, they wouldn't have left the Sword Mountain exposed in the wilderness; instead, they would have kept the news under wraps and protected it.

Even they haven't made any progress over the years, so where does Li Zhirui get the confidence that he can unlock the secret?
Although he was very confident in his own strength, he dared not underestimate any celestial being, especially those old guys who had lived for countless years!
"The world is full of wonders!" I couldn't help but exclaim as I looked at this solitary peak.

While Li Zhirui was searching for the reason, another sword aura slashed towards the sky, much more powerful than the previous one.

"Could it be that this sword energy will continue to increase?"

His curiosity intensified, and he was eager to find out what caused this strange phenomenon.

Since he had nothing else to do, Li Zhirui decided to linger there a while longer and study the place carefully, though he didn't hold out much hope.

Every half hour, the mountain peak would unleash a sword aura, its power growing from being comparable to that of a Nascent Soul sword cultivator to being on par with a Mahayana sword cultivator, with a huge range between them. Yet it would continue to cycle endlessly like this, as if there were no end in sight.

He patiently waited for the moment the sword energy was generated, trying to find out the reason for its birth, but to no avail, as if it really appeared out of thin air.

This also shattered Li Zhirui's suspicion that a special secret space existed.

After studying for several days without finding anything, he decided to leave. Although he had already become a Celestial Immortal, there were still many phenomena in this world that he could not understand, and there was no need to get bogged down in this.

"Perhaps when Zhixuan returns, we can ask her to come and take a look. Maybe she'll discover something." Perhaps the sword cultivator has a special connection to this place?
Just as Li Zhirui was about to leave by circulating his magic power, a different kind of fluctuation suddenly appeared behind him.

"Ok?"

Turning around abruptly, they were surprised to find a spatial rift suddenly appearing on the mountain peak!
"What's going on?" This unexpected turn of events made him extremely cautious, and he dared not approach casually, only carefully using his divine sense to investigate.

wow——

The crack seemed to lead to the sea, with the sound of waves crashing against the shore. Li Zhirui thought there would be no further changes, so he relaxed a little.

But the next instant, a powerful suction force erupted from the crack, catching him completely off guard and pulling him straight in.

"not good!"

He immediately tried to use his magic to resist, but the suction force was too strong, and he lost the initiative, so he was eventually drawn in.

After a series of dramatic spatial maneuvers, Li Zhirui regained his footing and found himself in a sea area. Looking around, he saw only azure waters, with a few black dots resembling islands at the edge of his vision.

"Something's not right! This isn't the Yuanling Realm!" He was so sure because he discovered that the favor bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Dao seemed to be blocked by something!
This situation would be impossible if we were still in the Yuanling Realm!
"A completely new secret realm that has never been seen before?" Li Zhirui narrowed his eyes, unsure whether he was lucky or unlucky.

That sword mountain has stood in the Northern Region for countless years, but it never saw the secret realm open. Instead, he encountered it in just a few days after he arrived!
This secret realm forcibly dragged him in regardless of his wishes.

"Is this secret realm related to the sword energy outside?" With a spirit of inquiry, Li Zhirui began to explore the entire secret realm. Now that he had entered, he should do his best to obtain the greatest benefit!

The first place he went to was the few black dots he had just discovered. There might be some information in the ocean, but it was a vast expanse and much harder to find, so he put it last.

"It really is an island!"

They sped along and soon arrived at the location of the black dots. It was an archipelago consisting of five large islands and some smaller islands that were several miles in circumference.

His first stop was the largest island.

boom--

Li Zhirui unleashed his divine sense, instantly enveloping the entire island and meticulously searching every corner to ensure he didn't miss any clues.

Although it was quite costly, it was very efficient, and he successfully discovered some things.

In a cave on the island, there are some murals with interesting content that tell many stories.

The first picture shows a boy finding a broken sword on the beach and gesturing wildly at it, seemingly playing with it.

The second picture shows that the boy has grown up quite a bit, and his swordplay looks quite professional.
The third image: The boy left the fishing village, and through a fortuitous opportunity, embarked on the path of cultivation.
……

The following murals depict the boy's cultivation process, spanning a very long period of time. It seems that he went from being a small-time rogue cultivator to joining a large sect and being highly valued.

The third to last picture shows a young man with a sword in his hand, traveling the world while maintaining the heart of a chivalrous knight, righting wrongs and resolving many injustices. However, he has offended many people because of this, but due to his strength and the sect behind him, no one dares to do anything to him.

The second to last picture depicts a battlefield, where a young man stands alone against an endless tide of monsters, his body covered in blood from the battle. At his feet and in front of him, mountains of monster corpses have piled up.

However, perhaps due to the long and arduous battle, it looked shaky and on the verge of collapse.

The last painting depicts the death of a young boy.

Although the specific scene was not drawn, it is not difficult to see that he did not die in the beast tide. Judging from his shocked and incredulous appearance, it is very likely that someone close to him took advantage of his unpreparedness and suddenly attacked him!
"So, this secret realm was once a spiritual realm created by the sect of the boy in the mural? And the sword energy outside was also caused by something in the secret realm?" Li Zhirui looked through all the murals, but he was still confused and puzzled.

"Perhaps there are other clues." Since he hadn't found an answer, he didn't dwell on it and flew towards a nearby island to see if he could find anything else. ...

While Li Zhirui was exploring the secret realm, the unusual situation of the sword mountain was also discovered by the Myriad Spirits Alliance.

"There's actually a secret realm here?!" The celestial beings exclaimed in surprise upon receiving the news.

"Quickly! Before the portal closes, have someone set up a teleportation array to facilitate future entry and exit." At least we won't have to passively wait for the secret realm to open like we do now.

No one knows how many years this secret realm will remain dormant. If the time is too long, even if the secret realm is of a high grade, its value will decrease significantly.

In the eyes of many factions, the secret realm is actually an independent and safe medicinal garden, where they can conveniently grow some precious spiritual items.

If there's no teleportation array and they can only enter the secret realm by its natural opening and closing, how can they develop it? They can't just scatter some precious spiritual seeds and wait hundreds or thousands of years to harvest mature spiritual creatures, can they?
If cultivating spiritual plants were that simple, then there would be no need for spiritual plant masters to exist.

On the contrary, the status of spirit plant masters is not low, and they are respected. After all, excellent spirit plant masters can not only accelerate the growth of spirit plants, but also cultivate even better spirit plants.

anyway!

The Alliance of Ten Thousand Spirits quickly took various actions, first preparing the teleportation array, and then arranging for a large number of its members to go in and explore.

Because they didn't know that Li Zhirui had entered before them, and they thought that only their force had entered the secret realm, they didn't send out any celestial beings.

In an instant, a large number of Wanling Alliance cultivators poured into the secret realm.

The once empty secret realm suddenly became much more lively.

At first, Li Zhirui didn't notice, but he soon sensed the fluctuations of magical power coming from there, and guessed that the Myriad Spirits Alliance had arrived!

However, as an outsider, he did not show himself and instead hid himself even more carefully. He was unwilling to clash with the Alliance of Ten Thousand Spirits unless absolutely necessary.

After all, the exit of the secret realm is still in the Northern Region controlled by the All-Spirit Alliance. If he wants to leave, he must pass through this territory.

Meanwhile, during the time when the Wanling Alliance cultivators arrived, Li Zhirui found another clue.

It still tells the story of that boy, but in more detail, describing how he grew from a humble fisherman into a powerful and renowned swordsman.

"wrong!"

Li Zhirui suddenly realized something and said in a loud voice, "His strength is already great enough, so why does he still carry a broken sword with him all the time!"

Therefore, the broken sword is the most crucial element, but it suddenly disappeared after the boy's death.

After inspecting the archipelago, he immediately disappeared into the sea, no longer seeking further information.

From then on, she no longer needed to consider how the secret realm was formed, but instead searched for spiritual objects in the sea, hoping that her trip would not be in vain. After all, weren't there still cultivators from the Myriad Spirits Alliance around?

slam-la-

A strange sound suddenly came from the dark sea, as if some huge creature was swimming, squeezing the surrounding seawater and uncontrollably pushing it to both sides.

Soon, Li Zhirui saw what the other party looked like: a colossal creature over several hundred feet in size, whose aura was far stronger than that of an Earth Immortal, but not quite at the level of a Celestial Immortal.

Roar!
The giant beast roared and launched an attack on Li Zhirui, completely disregarding the difference in strength between the two.

"How dare you lay a hand on me!"

Seeing the attack hurtling towards him at incredible speed, Li Zhirui let out a cold shout and immediately used his supernatural powers to stop it. At the same time, he summoned countless giant trees, which slammed down on him.

Woo!
The giant beast let out a painful howl, but did not retreat. Instead, its eyes turned bloodshot, and it charged at him with boundless rage.

Unfortunately, it chose the wrong opponent. Although the giant beast's strength surpassed that of an Earth Immortal, it ultimately failed to break through and remained an Earth Immortal.

If it weren't for its enormous size, it could have solved this problem much faster.

Soon, the giant beast was battered and bruised, its breath growing weaker and weaker. Even so, it did not give up its attack and chose to flee.

"Hmm? Why is it so persistent, even unafraid of death? Is there something on me that attracts it?" Seeing this, several guesses arose in Li Zhirui's mind.

If there's anything special about him, it's that he visited the cave with its numerous murals and absorbed some kind of special aura, which is why this giant beast targeted him.

"Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant you your wish and send you on your way!"

Li Zhirui was thoroughly annoyed by the harassment and could no longer contain his anger. Therefore, he took action without holding back his strength, hoping to end the fight quickly and avoid attracting too many members of the Myriad Spirits Alliance. He did not want to expose his presence.

Hey!
The giant beast roared to the sky, but under his attack, its voice grew weaker and weaker, and its aura dropped by more than half. It seemed that it had no chance to resist.

Logically speaking, at this point, any sentient being would want to escape and save its own life.

However, the giant beast did not do that. Despite its injuries and exhaustion, it continued to fight Li Zhirui.

"Such terrifying fluctuations in spiritual energy! Could it be that there are celestial beings in this secret realm?"

Not far away, several disciples of the Myriad Spirits Alliance were cautiously hiding to the side, fearing that they would be caught in the crossfire and perish.

This is not an exaggeration or a joke, it's the truth!

The battle between Li Zhirui and the giant beast was extremely fierce, and it was definitely not something an ordinary cultivator could withstand.

The thought that such a terrifying existence existed in the secret realm made their faces turn extremely ugly. They originally thought the secret realm wouldn't be too dangerous, but now it seems they had underestimated it!
"There are celestial beings in the secret realm; we are no match for them. What should we do now?"

"Of course, we should spread the word and warn the tribespeople to be careful." (End of Chapter)
