Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

The All-Spirit Alliance outside quickly received the news and was quite surprised, never expecting that there would be a Celestial Immortal in the secret realm.

After the initial surprise came joy!
The higher the grade of the secret realm, the richer their rewards.

"There are probably only a handful of Celestial Immortal-level secret realms in the entire Yuanling Realm. This is an incredible opportunity for us!" A Celestial Immortal had a bright smile on his face, looking extremely happy.

"Yes! So no matter the cost, we must take it down!" They were determined to send their people into the secret realm at any cost to clean it up and bring it under their complete control.

After agreeing on a plan, they continued to contact other races to ask them to send more of their people, while three celestial beings led the people who were originally protecting the secret realm outside to enter first.

Only one celestial being remained, leading a few dozen people to stay in place and await further support.

……

Having just dealt with that Earth Immortal Beast and divided the spoils, Li Zhirui was unaware that the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance had taken the importance of the secret realm to an even higher level!
But he knew in his heart that he couldn't linger in the secret realm for too long, because he might not be able to get out if he did!

Based on the guidance of the secret realm in his sea of ​​consciousness, he could probably stay for another month or so, but he decided that he would stay for a maximum of one more month before leaving.

Otherwise, if the Myriad Spirits Alliance blocked his way in and out, he would probably be trapped in the secret realm!
With not much time left, Li Zhirui naturally wanted to make the most of every second and collect as many spiritual items as possible in the secret realm.

Suddenly, the previous ease and comfort vanished, and he stopped exploring the connection between the secret realm and the sword energy, focusing solely on finding the spiritual object.

How can you tell where there are more spiritual beings? Just look at the density of the spiritual energy!
Generally speaking, the more concentrated the spiritual energy, the more spiritual objects there will be.

Li Zhirui followed this rule, speeding along the seabed, carefully avoiding the cultivators of the Myriad Spirits Alliance, and arrived at a place where spiritual energy gathered.

Unlike other dark seas, the spiritual energy here is so rich that it emits a faint glow, allowing people to see the various spiritual creatures growing there more quickly and clearly.

Although each one had a hidden radiance, making it impossible to tell how precious the spiritual objects were, Li Zhirui, who had seen a large number of spiritual objects and read through such books and books, could name them all and describe their effects and uses.

Soul-Nourishing Grass, Nine-Layered Netherwater Flower, Soul-Nourishing Ginseng...

They were all precious spiritual items, the lowest grade being Earth Immortal!
"Ok?"

Just as Li Zhirui was about to enter, a sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart, and a defensive divine power instantly protected him.

bang-

With a loud bang, he was sent flying backward, but fortunately he reacted in time and was not injured.

"Human race!?"

An aged voice rang out, and a short, hunched old man leaning on a cane slowly emerged from the darkness.

But Li Zhirui dared not underestimate him in the slightest, because he felt a strong threat from his opponent! He was very likely no match for him!

"Has this secret realm finally opened?" the old man said to himself, completely ignoring the person standing in front of him, as if he had already figured out the other party.

"As a reward for telling me this good news, you can go in and choose three spiritual plants yourself." The old man's cloudy and lifeless eyes suddenly became bright and gleaming.

Li Zhirui hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and carefully dug out three spiritual items: Qiankun Xuanyuan Grass, Soul Cleansing Flower, and Jade Marrow Nourishing Soul Grass. These were used to increase magical power, strengthen the soul, and heal injuries, respectively. Moreover, he happened to have the corresponding pill formulas in his hand.

"Thank you for the gift, senior. I will take my leave now."

The old man was putting too much pressure on him, and he was unwilling to have much contact with him.

"You go."

The old man waved his hand and casually said, "This secret realm is not as simple as you think. Be careful. Not every old fellow is as gentle as me."

Li Zhirui was stunned upon hearing this, and was greatly alarmed, for these words contained a great deal of information!

First, it says the secret realm is not simple and must hold deeper secrets. Then it says that not every old guy is as gentle as him, which implies that there are other beings in the secret realm with similar strength.
Despite having many questions in his mind, he dared not ask and simply turned and left silently.

"Not bad, you know what's good for you." The old man watched his figure gradually disappear, then turned around and used his supernatural powers on the sea in front of him.

slam-la-

In an instant, the once calm sea was swept up by towering waves, as if the world had been turned upside down, and the entire sea was thrown into turmoil.

Strangely, the commotion was confined to a ten-mile radius of the sea; any area a mile or so beyond was completely calm.

thump!
A sound like something falling into the water rang out, and then the ten-mile stretch of sea suddenly disappeared, as if it had been forcibly cut out by a giant hand and then pulled out, turning into a vacuum zone.

The next instant, the nearby seawater roared in and filled the empty area.

Li Zhirui, who was walking away, was also intrigued by the commotion and turned back to see what was going on.

Then he witnessed the entire process of the sea disappearing.

"What immense power this is!"

To completely isolate the locked sea area from other sea areas and then extract this sea area completely, it is unknown how much magical power would be required to do so.

But in the old man's hands, the whole process was smooth and effortless, as if he could do it casually.

"That's amazing!" Li Zhirui couldn't help but exclaim.

If it were him, he simply couldn't have done it.

"And who would have thought that a secret realm would contain top-tier Celestial Immortals, and not just one!"

This made him even more cautious in his subsequent trials, fearing that he might encounter the old monster with a rather unkind temper that the old man had mentioned.

Perhaps he was just lucky; he didn't encounter the thing he was most worried about, and instead found some pretty good spiritual items.

……

the other side.

The second wave of reinforcements sent by the Alliance of Ten Thousand Spirits has also entered the secret realm. They have taken control of the entrance and can enter and exit at any time.

This means that this is the first time the secret realm has been opened, and there is a natural opening and closing process. It is not completely controlled, but after this, this loophole will no longer exist.

The support from the Myriad Spirits Alliance this time was immense, with eight Celestial Immortals personally leading teams, each leading a large group of juniors from their respective locations, flying towards all directions of the secret realm.

At first, things were relatively calm. With a celestial being in charge, they could easily handle any dangers they encountered.

"As expected of a Celestial Immortal-level secret realm, the creatures here are stronger than ordinary creatures, and the spiritual objects are also more abundant." After dealing with a water demon of the Earth Immortal level, a Celestial Immortal couldn't help but comment.

It's no wonder he made such a remark, since he had only been in the secret realm for a few days and had already obtained more than a dozen kinds of celestial-level spiritual items and dealt with several powerful water demons.

"Luckily, the secret realm appeared on our territory. If it had fallen into the hands of other factions, their strength would have increased dramatically." "Yes, thankfully it didn't appear anywhere else."

The celestial being Zhao Moling said with a smile, "With this secret realm, and after some more time to develop, our strength will reach a new level, and sooner or later we will be able to surpass other factions."

But then, an unexpected accident happened!
Rumbling--

Huge columns of water shot into the sky without any warning, so suddenly that when the celestial being tried to resist, he was a beat too slow and unable to protect everyone.

Immediately, many clansmen were impacted by the water columns. Those with stronger abilities were able to survive, suffering only injuries, but some with lower cultivation levels were unable to withstand the powerful impact and lost their lives.

"Who! Get out here!" Zhao Moling roared in fury, her magical power surging.

"Little fellow, you really don't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young. Let me teach you a lesson!" Accompanied by an old voice, an old man with white hair and beard and a face full of wrinkles appeared on the sea.

Before he could finish speaking, an ordinary-looking water sword appeared and slashed at him.

"not good!"

The moment Zhao Moling saw the old man, alarm bells went off in his head, reminding him that the man before him was incredibly powerful and that he was likely no match for him.

Therefore, when faced with this attack, his first reaction was to dodge it rather than stay in place and take the hit.

However, remembering the large number of his clansmen behind him, he stopped and had to circulate his magic power and use his supernatural abilities to try to block the attack.

click-

But the result was a huge surprise to everyone. The defensive magic that a celestial being had used with all his might was easily broken by that water sword!
"Damn it! How is this possible!" Zhao Moling's face was instantly filled with shock and horror.

The water sword continued its momentum, still containing immense power, and slashed directly at him, seemingly intending to kill him outright.

"Get out of my way!"

Enraged, Zhao Moling's strength increased slightly, and she no longer focused solely on defense. Streams of spiritual light shot out, attempting to threaten the old man's safety.

"Ah!"

The old man sneered, and without making any move, he erected a light barrier, allowing the restless spiritual light to attack continuously. However, the series of attacks did not cause much of a ripple.

It seems that the gap in strength between the two sides is so large that it's despairing, but in reality, it's not that exaggerated.

The main reason is that Zhao Moling also needs to protect the clansmen behind him, which makes it impossible for him to concentrate on himself, so his strength is naturally weak.

"You go first, I'll catch up with you later."

Upon hearing this, the cultivators immediately snapped out of their daze and wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

"Want to leave? Did you ask me first?" The old man seemed intent on killing everyone, unwilling to let anyone go!

With a flick of his finger, one small sword after another flew out, their speed and power far exceeding what the weaker cultivators of the Myriad Spirits Alliance could withstand.

Fortunately, at the last moment, the old man showed mercy and did not kill them directly, but severely injured them, rendering them unable to move.

"Kid, this is a lesson for you. Remember, you must learn to respect the elderly and care for the young!"

After saying that, the old man suddenly disappeared, as if something was chasing him.

Not long after, a being dressed in black robes and exuding an air of restraint suddenly appeared, but the threat he posed was far more exaggerated! Even the celestial being couldn't muster the will to resist.

Have you seen Bai Mu?

Fortunately, he didn't attack them, but he seemed to have a deep-seated grudge against another person, and only had eyes for him.

"Is he an old-looking being with immense power?" Zhao Moling asked weakly.

"That's him! Tell me quickly, where did he go?"

"All I know is that he flew eastward, but we don't know exactly where he went."

"Ah."

Only then did he turn around and take a few glances at the group of cultivators from the Myriad Spirits Alliance.

"Their strength is so-so, no wonder they were beaten so badly by that bastard Bai Mu, not even by the strength to turn their hands over." He shook his head in disgust and didn't do anything to them.

"Is the portal to the secret realm about to open?" the mysterious celestial being suddenly asked. "Where is the portal located?"

"Yes, the portal will open in about two weeks, as for the location..."

As she spoke, Zhao Moling took out another jade slip, pointed it with her divine sense, and marked the location of the exit passage.

"Hmm, not bad, you're quite clever and sensible. Consider this little gadget a reward for you."

The mysterious man nodded in satisfaction, casually tossed out a magical object, and then vanished without a trace.

"Ha ha……"

Looking at the large number of injured and dead clansmen, and recalling the actions of the two mysterious celestial beings, Zhao Moling couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the old man was different from the later ones. The latter were more gentle and didn't lay a hand on them. In reality, he was the most ruthless!
In his eyes, everyone in the All-Spirit Alliance was trash and no one was worth his time.

Although Zhao Moling felt extremely aggrieved, she had no choice but to swallow her resentment due to her own lack of strength.

The mountains are high and the rivers are far, but the future is long!
……

"It's time to leave the secret realm!"

Having dealt with another Earth Immortal-level water demon and obtained all the spiritual items it had acquired, Li Zhirui calculated the time and said with some regret and reluctance.

Of course I'll feel reluctant to part with it!
Who would want to leave such a densely populated place full of spiritual beings so early?

But there's nothing you can do. When you're on someone else's turf, you have to behave yourself, unless your strength is so great that you can suppress all the Celestial Immortals of the Myriad Spirits Alliance.

However, it is clear that Li Zhirui does not yet have that ability, so he can only act honestly and discreetly.

With regret and reluctance, he embarked on his journey to the gate.

The journey was far from peaceful; he saw many cultivators from the Myriad Spirits Alliance fighting against the creatures of the secret realm, but none of them noticed Li Zhirui's presence. (End of Chapter)
