Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Neither the master nor the disciple was surprised by the result. After all, if space travel were so easy to succeed, why would cultivators like them, who defy the heavens, need to undergo the perilous tribulation of lightning?
Moreover, the first demonic beast they encountered was merely a Golden Core demonic beast.

In this small world, both master and disciple were at the pinnacle of cultivation in this realm—the Tribulation Transcending Realm!

They are powerful enough that they can take their time and try things out.

As the Golden Core demon beasts die, the progression begins from this point: Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Void Refinement, Body Integration...

The four types of demonic beasts that entered the spatial rift all met the same fate as before, turning into a thick cloud of blood mist.

However, there are slight differences. Golden Core demon beasts cannot last even a moment, but as their cultivation level increases, the demon beasts can last longer and longer!
Even the final Fusion Realm demon beasts had come into contact with the spatial rift and were about to pass through it, but were ultimately annihilated.

But this one change gave the master and apprentice hope.

As they suppressed a Mahayana Realm demonic beast and sent it into a spatial rift, the scene they had been waiting for unfolded!
Despite the fact that the monster was injured, and it looked quite serious, it successfully passed through!

"Quick! Quickly take out its life tablet!" Seeing this, the old man's heart pounded wildly, his face was extremely tense, but also filled with an extremely strong expectation.

The disciple was equally excited and nervous, his hands trembling as he took out the life tablet from his storage magic treasure.

"Completely intact!" he exclaimed, looking up with a face full of ecstatic joy.

"Good good!"

The old man was so excited that his face turned red as he kept cheering. The opportunity to realize his years of planning was right in front of him!

The reason they dared not undergo tribulation to ascend to immortality and instead chose this opportunistic method was because they were afraid to die under the lightning tribulation.

After all, one of them was too old, and his energy and strength had declined; the other had done something that harmed heaven and earth in order to break through to the Mahayana stage, and was burdened with immense karma.

But if one does not ascend to immortality and leave this small world, one will eventually die when one's lifespan is exhausted.

So they had to find another way to bypass the path of ascension and still leave the Lesser Thousand Worlds. But unexpectedly, they actually figured it out!
Because the Great Ascension Realm demon beast had already emerged alive from the Yuanling Realm on the other side of the spatial rift.

However, the moment it appeared, Li Zhirui seized the opportunity and caught it in his hand.

Even without the arrival of the major experts, he could still steadily suppress them without revealing his true strength.

Instead of interrogating the monster in front of everyone, Li Zhirui used his powerful divine soul to search its soul!
A moment later, a hint of surprise flashed deep in his eyes.

Before this, he thought that this spatial rift was a method developed by some celestial immortals, or at the very least earth immortals, to invade other worlds.

However, from the perspective of the demon beast, it was surprising to discover that this was actually the result of research by two mortal cultivators who had undergone tribulation.

Putting everything else aside, the methods these two used are truly admirable.

In an instant, Li Zhirui made up his mind that once the two people crossed the spatial rift to the Yuanling Realm, he would make a move immediately to capture them, or at least get one of them into his hands!

No matter the cost, we must succeed!

We absolutely cannot let both of them fall into the hands of humanity. Otherwise, once humanity follows their achievements, continues its research, expands into several worlds, and acquires resources from those worlds, the Yuanling Realm will be in turmoil!

Li Zhirui was now simultaneously hoping that the master and disciple on the other side would act quickly, and praying that the experts from the human path would arrive later, so that he would have a better chance of capturing the two.

Thinking of this, his gaze fell on the beast that was barely clinging to life and about to die. He took out a spiritual herb from his spatial storage and helped it refine the herb to heal its internal injuries, ensuring that it would not die in a short time.

……

That unknown little world.

The old man, Bai Canghan, and his disciple, Gao Yunlin, took a while to calm down. They did not set off immediately, but waited quietly in place.

The main reason for doing this was the concern that there might be danger on the other side of the spatial rift. If the monster's life tablet had not broken after a quarter of an hour, it would mean that the situation on the other side posed no threat to them!

What should have been a very short 15 minutes felt incredibly long and agonizing to them.

Fifteen minutes finally passed amidst their anxiety!

"Let's go! This last step is all it takes to get out of this predicament!" Bai Canghan said, then put on layers of defense to ensure he wouldn't get injured during the journey.

"We can definitely do it!" Gao Yunlin was not only encouraging the other party, but also boosting his own confidence.

The reason why the master and disciple did not turn against each other and scheme against one another was mainly because going to a strange world was too dangerous, and the two of them could rely on each other.

After making up their minds, the two flew together toward the spatial rift!
But what they didn't know was that moments after they left, several hunched figures suddenly appeared in the area.

There were five people in total, and what they all had in common was old age, extreme old age, and their whole bodies had begun to exude an aura of decay!

Such obvious characteristics indicate that their lifespan is at most fifty years.

"I never expected they actually succeeded in their research..." The man's words were filled with surprise and elation. He could also hitch a ride on this wave and go to a more advanced world.

Even if they want to extend their lifespan, they need to undergo tribulations to break through, which is quite dangerous for them in their current situation. But how can the power of the lightning tribulation compare to the ascension lightning tribulation?

"It's a pity that we couldn't get the key to their world travel method. Otherwise, even if we went to another world, we could still use this method to obtain cultivation resources."

No one knows what methods they used, but they managed to secretly monitor Bai Canghan and his apprentice Gao Yunlin without being discovered.

"If they can figure it out, why can't we?"

"Alright, stop lamenting here. If we don't hurry, the spatial rift will close." One of the elders urged impatiently.

The group wasted nearly fifteen minutes before finally setting off to fly into the spatial rift, and they all immediately disappeared.

Shortly after they left, the spatial rift suddenly trembled violently, as if it had reached its limit, and then exploded with a loud bang!

……

Meanwhile, in the southern region of the Yuanling Realm, at the Great Swamp of Humanity.

As time passed, the spatial rift in mid-air grew larger and larger. Everyone stared intently at it, ready to act immediately and do their utmost to subdue anything that made a move. Li Zhirui, standing to the side, looked rather grim, because during their wait, a Confucian sage arrived.

The reason he arrived so quickly was that he had been sketching nearby and, upon receiving the message from the Confucian disciple, he arrived shortly afterward.

"Wu Sheng, that cultivator was the first to react. In front of everyone, he captured the demonic beast and used the Soul Searching Technique to learn a lot about the other world." The Confucian disciple quickly recounted what had happened.

Wu Huasheng glanced at Li Zhirui, then his gaze fell on the beast that was still clinging to life. He shook his head slightly and said, "It's not a good time to make a move."

He worried that if he made a move, the monster would die instantly, causing unforeseen complications. He thought it better to let the monster live for now and decide what to do after everything was over.

Anyway, he had already set up a barrier around them, so people outside couldn't see them and people inside couldn't get out.

With Wu Huasheng's arrival, the disciples of the other schools present were very nervous, worried that their elders might not arrive in time and thus fail to gain any benefit from it!
Time slipped away slowly in the tense and solemn atmosphere.

Suddenly, Li Zhirui's gaze sharpened, and his internal magical power circulated rapidly. He shot towards the spatial rift like an arrow released from a bow.

As soon as he moved, Wu Huasheng was only a moment slower. He then raised his paintbrush and flicked it forward, sending countless ink dots transforming into all sorts of creatures that attacked Li Zhirui.

At the same time, he took out a landscape painting, threw it into the sky, and the painting unfolded, revealing the landscape within and merging into the world.

Meanwhile, the other disciples from the various schools, who were a step behind, also made their moves. They couldn't catch up with the others, so they could only attack and harass them.

However, Li Zhirui completely disregarded these methods and simply used his natal magic weapon, Qianling, for defense.

Wu Huasheng originally thought that his previous attacks would be a sure thing against a human immortal cultivator, but he did not expect that the attacks of those ink spirits could not cause any damage at all.

"This person is hiding his strength!" In an instant, he realized what was going on, and his face immediately turned gloomy.

At this moment, two figures flew out from the spatial rift!
Before Bai Canghan and Gao Yunlin could even breathe in the fresh air of the new world, they were knocked unconscious by Li Zhirui and then vanished into thin air.

In that instant, the two of them were stunned, their dantian and soul were sealed, their hands and feet were bound, and they were thrown directly into the space. Wu Xing was instructed to keep an eye on the two of them and not let them wake up. Everything would be discussed when he appeared!
"Hand over the person, and I'll let you go!" Wu Huasheng said coldly.

"I'm sorry, this is my spoils of war. If you want it, you can wait a little longer."

After saying that, Li Zhirui transformed into a rainbow of light and rushed directly northward.

"Humph!"

Wu Huasheng snorted coldly and said, "You still want to leave? You'd better stay here obediently!"

But the scene that appeared the next moment horrified him.

The two scrolls he had arranged around him, one to enhance defense and the other to isolate the inner and outer spaces, have now been breached by a single person!
While his underestimation and disregard for the painting's power contributed to this, the greater reason was the opponent's formidable strength.

"This is not some wandering immortal or human immortal cultivator, but a celestial immortal!"

After figuring out what had happened, Wu Huasheng couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! Even I was fooled."

Unfortunately, it was too late to realize this. Li Zhirui had already flown far away and was no longer visible. What was there to chase after him with?
So he could only turn around and stare at the spatial rift that had not yet dissipated, hoping that another person would emerge from it.

But then, an accident happened!

The restrictions that Wu Huasheng had set up were broken again.

There were three people who entered, from the Mohist, Legalist, and Logician schools respectively, and all of them had the cultivation of a sage.

The first thing they did upon entering was to set up their own methods to prevent others from discovering this territory.

At the same time, if you have gained nothing yourself, you can slightly hinder others to create an opportunity for yourself.

"Hehe, Brother Wu, you were the first to arrive here, so you must have already gained something, right?" The sage of the School of Names asked tentatively with a smile on his face.

"You're asking me? Why don't you ask your own disciples?" Wu Huasheng ignored them completely, staring intently at the spatial rift, hoping that other beings from the other side could come over.

A dark light flashed in the eyes of the renowned sage, and like the other two sages, he found his disciple and began to inquire about what had happened.

To the three's surprise, there was already a Celestial Immortal cultivator before they arrived, who had already abducted two of them.

This made them determined to capture the creatures that appeared next, because if they missed this opportunity, they might not have another chance.

Time flies, and another quarter of an hour has passed in no time.

Suddenly, the spatial rift trembled violently and spat out five figures.

The four sages present were instantly impressed.

Wu Huasheng originally wanted to take all five people away, but the other three would never agree. They all stepped in to stop him, knocking away the scrolls he was trying to take with him.

Left with no other choice, he had to change his strategy, only using the scroll to take away the two people on the far left.

The remaining three also happened to fall into the hands of three other saints!
Without prior discussion, the four of them reached a tacit understanding at the same time, simultaneously canceling the methods they had set up, and then taking their disciples with them, they flew away into the distance.

They weren't greedy; having one person who understood the situation was enough for them.

Moreover, they also discovered that the spatial rift was becoming unstable, and it was very likely that there would be no next wave of extraterrestrial beings.

If they wait any longer, they'll definitely run into sages of other schools of thought, and who knows what might happen then? It's better to secure their gains now.

……

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui, who had broken through the restrictions, did not arrogantly fly away in the sky, but instead hid among the grass and trees.

And he had to leave the Southern Region as quickly as possible.

As the saying goes, delay can lead to unforeseen changes. The methods of the various schools of thought were even more complex and mysterious, and there were many different kinds. Who knows if there was a secret method that could lock him down?
Therefore, Li Zhirui had to leave the Southern Region before they could react and lay their trap. (End of Chapter)
