Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

They only noticed a slight abnormal fluctuation when passing by two celestial beings, but after scanning with their divine senses, they couldn't find the cause and assumed it was their imagination, so they didn't investigate further.

Or rather, they are pretending not to know.

Having stayed in the secret realm for so long and conducted such a large-scale search for spiritual objects, they have encountered several celestial beings with terrifyingly powerful abilities.

Having personally experienced their unparalleled strength and learned from numerous heavy losses, the All-Spirit Alliance has become much more cautious and prudent in its actions.

Therefore, under these circumstances, they mistakenly believed that the fleeting commotion might have been caused by those old monsters, and naturally dared not continue to investigate, for fear of bringing disaster to their people.

What they didn't know was that there was no old monster at all. It was actually Li Zhirui, whose cultivation level was similar to theirs, who simply couldn't perfectly hide himself from them.

Although he didn't know the reason behind it, he was happy with it, as it allowed him to arrive at the portal to the secret realm safely and quickly.

Because they arrived more than ten days in advance, and the All-Spirit Alliance had no idea that outsiders existed, there was no one guarding the entrance; it just stood there quietly.

After confirming that the area was safe, Li Zhirui rushed into the gate without any hesitation. Suddenly, a dizzying sensation struck him, and despite his best efforts to overcome it, he still felt nauseous.

However, he always kept a portion of his attention focused on the changes in the surrounding world.

The moment he returned to the Yuanling Realm, even though he felt unwell, he immediately transformed into a beam of light and sped off towards the farthest point.

"Ok?"

The celestial beings guarding the secret realm outside immediately sensed something was wrong upon seeing this and shouted, "Halt!"

"This person is a human cultivator! Quickly stop him! Don't let him escape!"

In fact, many old monsters from the secret realm have come out these days. Because they had received advance notice and knew that the monsters were extremely powerful and could not be defeated, they could only obediently let people leave and did not even dare to ask any questions.

This is why their vigilance was quite lax, giving Li Zhirui the opportunity to escape.

In order to escape, he flew desperately, covering hundreds of miles in an instant.

But behind him, hundreds and thousands of spiritual lights relentlessly pursued him. The news of this secret realm must not be leaked, especially not to the human race!
Seeing their determined attitude, Li Zhirui quickly understood the concerns of the Myriad Spirits Alliance and immediately declared loudly, "I swear an oath that I will never reveal any information about this secret realm to anyone! If I break this oath, may I be punished by the heavens!"

"In that case, I wonder if you gentlemen would be willing to let me go?"

Even while speaking, he did not forget to flee at full speed.

However, the All-Spirit Alliance did not react to his words at all, as if they had not heard them, and continued to pursue him relentlessly.

"Damn it!"

Li Zhirui cursed angrily. If he weren't so weak, he would have stopped and taught them a lesson!
But now, all we can do is bury our heads and run.

At the same time, he changed his direction and began to flee towards the mountain peaks with more vegetation. It wasn't that he could shake them off, but rather that he would use them to conceal his figure and create an opportunity for himself to escape into a space!

When he used a secret technique that burned his magic power to increase his speed once again, temporarily leaving them a hilltop behind and disappearing from their sight, Li Zhirui immediately realized that his chance to escape had arrived!
He immediately channeled his magic power, leaving traces of his flight in several directions, but in reality, he concealed his aura, hid in a small blade of grass nearby, and then instantly vanished into the void.

The moment Li Zhirui entered, those celestial beings appeared at the spot where he had disappeared.

"What about people?!"

A celestial being unleashed all of his divine sense to search the surroundings, but could not find the other party's figure at all, and let out an angry roar in disbelief.

"Damn it! Could it be that he really got away?"

"Impossible! If he had such ability, he should have used it long ago, instead of escaping into the mountains after the speed burst. It must be some kind of secret technique for hiding."

"That's right! Everyone search carefully. I don't believe his secret technique can last long!"

But no matter how hard they searched, even digging three feet into the ground and turning the surrounding area upside down, they couldn't find a single trace of Li Zhirui.

Several hours had passed since he disappeared!
They already knew the answer in their hearts, but they were just unwilling to admit it.

Several more hours passed, and when the others contacted them, needing them to return to guard the secret realm, they had no choice but to leave.

Because they believed the human cultivator had escaped, they didn't leave any people nearby, thus missing the last chance to find their target. The group left in a huff, full of anger.

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui, whom they had been chasing all the way, had already been recuperating in the space.

The Five Elements Immortal Roots behind him swayed slightly, gathering the surrounding spiritual energy to help him recover faster.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Zhirui slowly opened his eyes, touched the tree trunk, and whispered, "Thank you."

"It's okay," Wu Xing replied somewhat shyly.

Since he gained sentience, he has felt very lonely, because apart from Li Zhirui and Yu Hong, there are no other living beings in the space.

Both of them were busy with their cultivation and had no time to spend with him.

Because he needed to evade pursuit from outsiders, he chatted with Wu Xing for a while and only then realized the problem.

This situation is actually very detrimental to the growth of the Five Elements, because he is no longer a spirit, but a living being!

Even though his original physical body was of a very high grade, allowing him to possess the cultivation level of a human immortal without much cultivation, he was still able to achieve this.

But his cultivation can't stay stagnant forever, right? And to improve one's realm, one's state of mind and Dao heart are very important, but right now, to put it nicely, he's pure and innocent; to put it bluntly, he's a hothouse flower.

Without experience, how can one talk about state of mind, or the Daoist heart?
Li Zhirui fell into deep thought, trying to find a solution.

He immediately shook his head and rejected the idea of ​​having Wu Xing train alongside him. Not to mention the vast difference in their strength, the risks of traveling with him were enough to deter anyone from doing so!
Because of its connection to the Five Elements, it is easy to see that a celestial-grade spiritual root that has given birth to intelligence will cause a great deal of trouble.

But one thing is certain: this is absolutely not something that Li Zhirui and the Li family can afford!

Suddenly, an idea popped into Li Zhirui's mind.

Although we can't bring Wu Xing with us to train in the Yuanling Realm, we can let him enter the Five Elements Minor Realm!
In this way, not only will you not have to worry about exposing your background and thus encountering danger, but you can also grow together with the world.

A rapidly growing microcosm was enough for him to experience, and he could also come into contact with many new and interesting things.

"Five Elements, would you like to go to the Small World for a visit? To see how the world develops?" Li Zhirui thought his idea was pretty good, so he asked.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xing was initially delighted, but then, as if remembering something, he asked uneasily, "Is it alright? Will I cause any trouble?"

"Of course! You contributed to the creation of the small world, how could it cause trouble?" Li Zhirui saw his lack of confidence and felt sorry for his sensible nature, so he immediately comforted him. "That's good." Wu Xing also relaxed and asked expectantly, "I want to go to the small world, when do we set off!"

"I will now teach you a secret technique. Once you have mastered it, you will be able to go to the small world."

As he spoke, Li Zhirui took out a jade slip from the depths of his storage magic treasure and told him to study it on his own first. If there was anything he didn't understand, he could just come and ask him.

"The secret technique of transforming into a fetus?"

This is a very niche secret technique, specifically created for spiritual beings like the Five Elements that have developed sentience but are unable to take form in a short time or at all.

The content is also very simple: split off a part of the soul and put it into a spiritual fruit. If there is no spiritual fruit, then use magic to conceive a spiritual embryo, continuously nurture and cultivate it, and finally use this to create a Dao body avatar, so that it can move freely and is no longer trapped in one place.

The Five Elements can skip the first step and directly select a spiritual fruit to nurture their incarnation, which can save a lot of time.

The secret technique wasn't difficult, and with Li Zhirui providing detailed guidance, he learned it in just a few days.

The rest will require time to develop.

Having stayed in the secret realm for so many days, he figured the Wanling Alliance cultivators outside had already left, so he had the idea of ​​going out.

In the once deserted and barren mountains, a figure suddenly appeared—it was Li Zhirui!
He could tell what had happened just by looking at the surroundings.

Fortunately, the matter is over, and his identity has been well protected. He should not be found by the Myriad Spirits Alliance, which would implicate his family.

Concealing his aura and erasing the traces he left behind, Li Zhirui's tall figure vanished in the next instant.

The wild grass swaying in the breeze was his tool and witness to his departure.

……

the other side.

"Have you found any clues?" a celestial being asked the clansman who had just entered the main hall.

The Alliance of Ten Thousand Spirits has not given up and is determined to find the human cultivator who suddenly appeared from the secret realm.

Even if they lose track of the other person, they will try to find clues from other sources!
"Elders, the secret realm is closing today. Shouldn't we prepare something?" The clansman carefully avoided the original topic.

Everyone knows that these Celestial Immortal Ancestors have been in a very bad mood since their return, because of their failure to hunt down that human cultivator, so they try to avoid any related news.

"Is the secret realm about to close?"

One of the celestial beings came to his senses and instructed, "Summon all your disciples to come and congratulate all our clansmen on their triumphant return."

……

As the portal to the secret realm continued to flash, one creature after another emerged from it.

A full quarter of an hour passed before no more creatures emerged, and the portal slowly dissipated, as if it had merged into the world.

"How could the losses be so severe?"

If he remembered correctly, tens of thousands of his clansmen had entered the secret realm one after another, but now, they had been wiped out, and many of them were also injured.

"This secret realm is far too dangerous. Apart from those celestial immortals with exaggerated strength, the beings of other realms are also stronger than normal cultivators. Many of our clansmen are no match for them and can only die in their mouths..."

This brought up the originally cheerful atmosphere, which suddenly turned heavy.

"How is the cleanup going in the secret realm?"

"There are still many lives lost, and it will take a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to solve the problem."

"Ugh!"

Several celestial beings sighed, shook their heads, and said, "Then let's not rush, let's wait a little longer."

Subsequently, a celestial being recounted what had happened outside, especially the unknown human celestial being, hoping that among the tens of thousands of his people, there could be some kind of speed limit.

"A human Celestial Immortal cultivator?"

Earlier, when Li Zhirui passed by and inquired about the natural wonders of that small tribe, several people here exchanged a tacit glance, raised their hands without hesitation, and shouted, "We have a clue!"

"Oh?"

All the celestial beings turned their gazes towards them instantly, and pulled those people to the front, asking, "What news do you have?"

They then recounted everything that had happened shortly before the secret realm opened, including the story of a cultivator who had passed by.

"Do you still remember what he looked like?"

"I don't remember, but the clan leader should remember, as he was the one who had the most contact with the other party."

"it is good!"

The celestial beings were overjoyed. Having a clue was good; they could slowly explore, find their target, and then eliminate it, thus solving the problem once and for all and no longer worrying about the news of the Celestial Realm's secret realm being leaked.

The young clan leader was both excited and worried to see so many celestial ancestors descending. He wondered what had happened to cause such a commotion.

"Clan leader, what is the purpose of the ancestors..." A fellow cultivator from the clan hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"I see. I do remember what that human looked like. Now I can just copy it."

After saying this, he took out a jade slip, apologized to his seniors, and began to inscribe the image from his memory onto the jade slip.

Before long, a jade slip depicting Li Zhirui's appearance was freshly made!

"Thanks for your hard work."

Several celestial beings couldn't wait to see it and firmly memorized its appearance.

But what they didn't know was that all these actions were actually futile!
Because the image drawn by the clan chief was not Li Zhirui's real appearance at all; it was a disguise!
When I was weak, I would change my appearance when I went out to train in order not to implicate my family. I have maintained this good habit to this day.

Even though he had broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm and stood among the strongest few in the Yuanling Realm, he still hadn't changed this habit!
However, even Li Zhirui himself probably didn't expect that this would actually save him and his family from a disaster. (End of Chapter)
