Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Leaving the Great Qian territory and entering the Southern Region, where all living beings still coexist, one is immediately greeted by a wild and untamed aura.

This is completely different from the orderly, stable, and humanitarian territory where Li Zhirui had previously lived.

But he felt incredibly relaxed and at ease because he no longer needed to conceal his identity, nor did he feel the constant pressure from the humanitarian law.

At this moment, a strong wind blew in, carrying a strong smell of blood, and rushed straight towards Li Zhirui.

He had no reaction to this, because he had just come from the battlefield between humanity and demons and had already seen the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Besides, it's not like he hasn't experienced this situation before.

Not to mention the battles between the two major camps, Li Zhirui had not only witnessed, but also personally participated in, the genocidal massacre of all living beings in an entire world!
However, it must be said that the battle between humans and demons was extremely brutal.

There's no other way; both sides have to fight tooth and nail to gain a foothold in the struggle for survival.

"Ok?"

Li Zhirui looked to his side with some surprise. How could he feel the aura of the Humanitarian Law Network again after leaving the area of ​​Humanitarian Territory?

When he flew up and saw a group of Mohist disciples either operating machinery or wielding longswords to fight against the demon race and protect the city walls behind them, he remembered what was going on.

This was the place chosen by the Mohists to establish a humane dynasty!

"Why choose a place far removed from humanity to establish a dynasty?"

Flying high in the sky, Li Zhirui looked down at the terrain below. At first glance, there was nothing special about it, but if he broadened his field of vision a little, he discovered an interesting phenomenon: there was a tall mountain range to the north that ran east to west and stretched for thousands of miles.

He immediately understood.

The Mohists were guarding against the Great Qian Dynasty invading from the south and annexing them after establishing their dynasty!
But what Li Zhirui didn't know was that there was a similar mountain range to the west.

In this way, even if the Great Qian wanted to invade, it could only attack from the east, and the Mohists would not be attacked from both sides.

Of course, it's not without its drawbacks. The Mo family's country, which is not in human territory and is not even very close, will have to face the attack of the demon race alone.

It's easy to imagine how much pressure they would be under.

However, Li Zhirui, seeing the current situation of the Mohist Kingdom, has temporarily withstood this pressure.

After thinking for a moment, he tossed three jade slips down below, then transformed into a rainbow of light and disappeared.

The two jade slips landed steadily in front of the Mo family demigod who was directing the battle.

"Ok?"

After confirming that the jade slips posed no danger, he reached out and took them into his hand, probed them with his divine sense, but quickly withdrew them.

He looked around at the sky but found nothing.

"Chang Long, you take over command for me. I have urgent business to attend to!" Seeing that the situation on the battlefield was gradually becoming clear, the half-saint did not want to waste any more time.

After speaking to the disciple beside him, he stuffed the jade token into his arms and hurriedly left.

Chang Long knew that the reason he was like this was because he had seen the three jade slips, which aroused his strong curiosity about their contents. However, it seemed to be something very important, and he was probably not qualified to know it.

Meanwhile, the Mohist semi-sage hurriedly arrived to pay his respects to the sage who was in charge of this place.

“Zhang Sheng, these three jade slips are of great importance. I wonder if the other saints are available?” With that, he handed over the jade slips.

"Oh?" Hearing him speak so seriously, Zhang Sheng developed a strong curiosity about the jade slip and released his divine sense with great interest.

A moment later, he suddenly looked up, his relaxed expression instantly turning serious. He immediately notified the other saints and urged them to put down what they were doing and come quickly.

"What happened? Why did you call us here in such a hurry?"

"Take a look at these three jade slips first. We can discuss it after everyone is here." Zhang Sheng didn't say much, but just frowned, deep in thought, seemingly lost in thought.

Because he was in a hurry, the remaining three sages arrived in less than a quarter of an hour.

After reading each of the jade slips, silence fell over the room.

"Zhou Quan, where did you get this jade slip from?"

Zhou Quan, that is, the half-saint, explained: "At that time, I was directing the fight against the demon race, and these three jade slips fell from the sky and landed directly in front of me."

"It must be the work of that celestial cultivator," a certain sage said.

Although Li Zhirui was hiding his true identity within the Great Qian Dynasty, and perhaps no one knew his real identity, the upper echelons of the Great Qian Dynasty knew of his existence, and even the Mo family, which was far removed from the Great Qian Dynasty, knew about him.

The main reason he made this guess was that there were many traces of immortality in the jade slip.

What was his purpose in doing this? Was it really just out of simple kindness?

"Impossible. The value of these three jade slips is too great to be so simple."

The three jade slips contain two parts: one is the complete method for establishing a humane dynasty; the other records Li Zhirui's previous life's knowledge of gunpowder and various weapons, which may provide some inspiration for the Mohist school's creations.

The last jade slip recorded the national system without an emperor, including the cabinet system, the council of elders, and other things that Li Zhirui knew.

After all, the Mohists couldn't possibly elect an emperor, meaning they hadn't formally established a humane dynasty yet; otherwise, the situation would have been even more troublesome and worse.

"Regardless of their motives, these three jade slips have arrived at the perfect time. Let's all study them carefully and make them more relevant to our current situation."

Since we don't know what Li Zhirui is up to, we might as well ignore it. As long as we are strong enough, we don't need to worry at all.

After the meeting, a sage immediately began to try making things according to the contents of the second jade slip.

In just a few days, they had completed the construction of a cannon.

"If it is truly as powerful as described in the jade slip, then this is undoubtedly a blessing for humanity, the Way of Man, and the Mohist school!"

boom!
The only response he received was the terrifying, horrifying sound of the cannon being lit.

Gollum—

The disciples who were assisting from the side couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw the terrifying destructive power; their faces were a mixture of fear and excitement.

With these cannons, the war ahead will be much easier for them, and they will be able to better protect their country!
……

On the other side, Li Zhirui was unaware of the immense shock his three jade slips had caused the Mohist school; he was simply traveling south.

He encountered several attacks from demons during this period, but they were only some rogue immortals or human immortals, and they posed no threat to him at all. He easily killed them and managed to obtain some spiritual items.

Those high-level demons seemed to have gone into hiding, which is why he hadn't encountered them for so long, which made him somewhat regretful. Li Zhirui had been hoping for a major battle.

Unbeknownst to him, he smoothly made his way to the far south—the immortal volcano!
If the Southern Region was chaotic and wild before, then the Undying Volcano gives people only one feeling: heat!
Upon entering this area, all other sensations vanished, leaving only heat! Extreme heat!

At this moment, a figure flew in from a distance. When it got closer, Li Zhirui realized that it was actually a phoenix!
Its head resembles a golden pheasant, its neck a snake, its chin a swallow, its back a tortoise, and its tail a fish. Its body is covered in five colors and carries a faint glow. It truly deserves the name of an auspicious mythical beast!

"Distinguished guests from afar, would you be willing to visit and tour my Phoenix Clan?" Feng Xiang's voice was clear and melodious, bringing joy to those who heard it.

"I have long admired the Phoenix Clan, and now that I have received your invitation, I am naturally delighted to accept!" Li Zhirui did not expect that as soon as he stepped into the Undying Volcano, he would be personally invited by the Phoenix.

But since they've been so kind to him, he couldn't very well refuse, could he?
This is, after all, Phoenix Clan territory. If he really refuses, how will he train next? He can't just turn back and go home; wouldn't that be a waste of so much time?
Of course, Li Zhirui was indeed quite curious about the Phoenix Clan's territory.

It is said that a phoenix will not land where there is no treasure. Now that we have the opportunity to show him, how can we miss it?

"Please!" Feng Xiang did not transform into human form, but flapped his wings and led the way.

Li Zhirui followed quietly behind, pondering what the Phoenix Clan meant by this.

But even after arriving at their destination, a place that looked quite ordinary and had nothing supernatural about it, he still couldn't figure it out. He could only cautiously follow Feng Xiang through layers of formations and restrictions.

Suddenly, the view opened up before me, as if I had entered a completely new world.

"Oh..."

Before them lay exotic flowers, rare herbs, and magical treasures, but to the Phoenix Clan, they were like roadside weeds, discarded trash, utterly worthless.

If Li Zhirui were to use his Qi Observation Technique at this moment, he would be able to see the colorful and dazzling spiritual light intertwining and rising in this place.

Fortunately, his Dao heart was firm and he was not tempted by these spiritual objects. If it were someone else, they probably would have been unable to suppress their greed long ago.

"This place is only the outer perimeter of Phoenix Valley, so the spiritual objects here are rather ordinary. Please continue to follow me, esteemed guest," Feng Xiang said as he led the way.

Li Zhirui was taken aback by these words. He was a man of great knowledge and experience, and in his eyes, these spiritual creatures were already quite good. But he did not expect that in the eyes of the Phoenix Clan, they were just ordinary.

'I wonder which is richer, the Dragon Clan or the Phoenix Clan?' This thought suddenly arose in his mind.

He had been to the Dragon Palace before and seen the scene of jewels covering the ground. This time, there were spiritual creatures all over the mountains and fields. No matter what kind they were, they were all incredibly rich.

anyway!

After walking for a while in Phoenix Valley, Feng Xiang finally stopped and said, "Sir, this is the interior of my Phoenix Valley."

The number of spiritual plants here has decreased significantly, but they have become even more precious. Li Zhirui only glanced over and saw several Celestial Immortal-level spiritual plants.

"Truly worthy of being called a phoenix divine beast! It has managed to collect so many precious spiritual items."

Fengxiang smiled confidently, as if the praise was only right and he showed no humility whatsoever.

Once Li Zhirui entered Phoenix Valley, he was led into a cave.

"Honorable guest, you may rest here tonight. The patriarch was unable to meet with you today, so I hope you will get a good rest and conserve your energy." Before leaving, Fengxiang gave this special reminder.

These words make it sound as if Li Zhirui is about to head to the battlefield early tomorrow morning.

He had already guessed who the ancestor the other party was—the phoenix who suppressed the immortal volcano with its body.

He avoided a chain reaction caused by the volcanic cluster, which could have resulted in too many volcanoes erupting at once, causing enormous impact and even potentially destroying the southern region.

But why would this person suddenly invite me to meet him? Could it be something important? This puzzled Li Zhirui greatly.

I shook my head, deciding not to dwell on it anymore; I'd find out tomorrow anyway.

Silent all night.

Before the sun had even risen, someone came looking for Li Zhirui.

It was Feng Xiang, the same person who had led the way yesterday, who said, "Sir, please follow me."

"it is good."

The two continued walking deeper into Phoenix Valley until they reached the entrance of a cave, at which point they stopped.

"This place is the most important place for my Phoenix Clan. No one may enter without permission, not even me. So, you will have to take care of the rest of the journey yourself."

"Thank you for your trouble." Li Zhirui nodded to him and walked into the depths of the cave without saying a word.

But as soon as he stepped in, an extremely hot air, carrying a strong smell of sulfur, rushed towards him.

He said nothing, nor did he back down; he simply walked forward in silence.

The deeper they went, the more extreme the temperature became. Even Li Zhirui felt incredibly hot, and his heart began to stir.

Only then did he understand why the Phoenix Clan had designated this place as a forbidden area, forbidding people from entering at will. This long passage was, in fact, a path of self-discipline and refinement.

If one's resolve to follow the Dao is not firm enough, or one's state of mind is not stable enough, entering the practice carelessly could very well lead to demonic possession!
Li Zhirui kept chanting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, trying his best to calm his turbulent emotions.

Li Zhirui wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but the temperature in the cave seemed to have dropped a lot, no longer as unbearably hot as before.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you along the way, fellow Daoist."

When Li Zhirui reached the finish line, in front of a river of lava, a voice rang out.

Then, clumps of lava rose into the air, merging and changing continuously in mid-air, eventually forming a small fire phoenix.

"Senior, you flatter me. This is a trial for myself, there's no question of suffering," Li Zhirui said with a shake of his head and a smile.

In terms of cultivation level, both of them are at the Celestial Immortal realm, so it would be correct to address each other as fellow Daoist. However, to show respect, he still used the title of senior.

"Hahahaha, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Phoenix Ancestor burst into laughter, and the magma in the space became extremely active because of his laughter, stirring up waves.

"May I ask what business you have with me, senior?" Li Zhirui asked, his eyes full of doubt. What could he possibly do to help Fengzu? (End of Chapter)
