Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Li Zhirui's premonition was correct. After capturing several people who had traveled from another minor world, the four sages of Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, and the School of Names returned to their respective holy lands as quickly as possible!
And after things stabilized, they began interrogating them, using methods that were not as brutal as Li Zhirui had used on the first monster, since these people were of greater value.

"Where did you come from? How did you traverse these spaces?"

Under some kind of bewitching spell, the five people told each other everything they knew without any concealment.

Therefore, these four schools of thought quickly learned that the secret method of traversing the world was actually developed by two cultivators who had undergone tribulation, based on some ideas from their predecessors.

"Then have you mastered this secret technique?"

"We only know most of it, but the most crucial part is only known to those two, master and disciple."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present immediately turned ugly.

They initially thought it was an accident, but now it seems to be a result of human intervention, and the person who possesses the method is not in their hands!
It goes without saying how much benefit this method contains.

Although the relationship between the human path and the immortal path has eased considerably, it does not mean that they have become friends; many conflicts still exist.

Moreover, no matter what, the fact that the immortals' strength has increased is definitely not a good thing for them.

We need to have a backup plan for this!

A Confucian sage said in a deep voice, "On one hand, we should discuss with the Mohists, Legalists, and Logicians whether we can join forces to improve this method as soon as possible; on the other hand, we should find a way to intercept that Celestial Immortal cultivator and prevent him from leaving the Southern Region."

Although their relationship with the Mohists and Legalists is not good, this matter involves the interests of everyone, even the entire human race. It is likely that these two schools will put aside their previous minor conflicts.

As for the School of Names, the two schools of thought are quite similar, and since the School of Names is relatively weak, they should not refuse the proposal to join forces.

"That's right!"

"Alright! I'll go and contact the Mohists, Legalists, and Logicians right away."

"I will now issue an order to put Confucian disciples in all regions on martial law and to search every cultivator."

Several Confucian sages set off, while two others remained behind to obtain an incomplete secret technique for traversing worlds from the two captured extraterrestrial cultivators.

Just as they expected, after proposing to jointly study and improve the secret method, the Mohists, Legalists, and Logicians did not refuse. At the same time, they also decided to place the research site in the core area of ​​the Logicians.

Because the most prominent family is the weakest, the other three families are not afraid that the prominent family might have any ulterior motives after the research results are achieved.

In addition, after learning of the Confucianists' actions, they also issued orders to their disciples in various regions, instructing them to pay close attention to every immortal cultivator.

If anything seems amiss, they can detain the person immediately, and afterwards they will explain to the local ruler or emperor.

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui, who was running wildly, was unaware that the search efforts by these four schools of thought had reached an extremely exaggerated level, even to the point of offending the ruler of a country.

Although he knew nothing about it, he had completely seized the best opportunity to escape in the next day or two.

In just over ten hours, he had traveled tens of thousands of miles, traveling directly from the southern part of Humanity to the central and northern parts of Humanity.

He didn't stop for a moment when he got tired along the way, or when he encountered problems such as insufficient magic power or excessive consumption of his soul. He relied entirely on pills and spiritual items to persevere for so long, just to get as close to the Eastern Continent as possible before humanity could react.

If he maintains this speed, in another day, Li Zhirui will be able to escape the Southern Region and return to the Immortal Path's territory—the Eastern Continent!
But it was this last stretch of the journey that made it difficult for him to move an inch.

"Humanity has reacted and has set up tight checkpoints at various key locations along the passageways." Li Zhirui gazed into the distance at the checkpoint that was already shrouded in a powerful network of humanistic laws, his face extremely gloomy.

This situation is not unique to this place; similar measures have been implemented at major transportation routes like this one!
At the same time, every dynasty, even the smallest towns, posted wanted posters in order to prevent him from leaving the Southern Region and to take the two extraterrestrial cultivators he had captured into their own hands.

Li Zhirui is now considering how to deal with the current situation. Should he try to detour through the South China Sea, or go to the Western Continent of the Demonic Path, and then return to the Eastern Continent? Or should he simply hide in the space and wait for a while, and then the Human Path will take the initiative to cancel such a strict and high-end restriction?

After all, while these methods are powerful, they also consume a great deal of resources and cannot be sustained for a long time.

After thinking for a moment, he made a plan. He decided not to waste his energy and simply enter the space for a while. He could also use this time to study the methods created by the two extraterrestrial cultivators.

The moment he made up his mind, he vanished completely from the spot, leaving no trace.

Those cultivators, of course, were unaware that Li Zhirui possessed such abilities. After a thorough search, even digging three feet into the ground, they couldn't find a single trace of him, as if the cultivator simply didn't exist and was merely a fabricated lie.

Gradually, as time went by, and after still not obtaining any clues, the humanitarian authorities finally gave up and withdrew most of the numerous humanitarian nets they had set up at various passes.

At the same time, they also began to work on the incomplete methods known to the five people, combining the power of the four major doctrines to perfect them as soon as possible, so as not to fall too far behind the immortal path.

……

in space.

Li Zhirui looked at the master and apprentice who had been in a coma, and with a flash of inspiration, he quickly brought them back to consciousness.

"Hand over the method to travel through space, and I'll spare your lives." He said with a serious expression, and even used a number of tricks during the interrogation in order to get the original from them as soon as possible so that he could study it.

"I give……"

The old man's consciousness was even weaker, so he couldn't hold out for long under Li Zhirui's methods and revealed everything he knew.

He quickly took action to record these contents so that he could easily understand and learn from them later.

Meanwhile, as Bai Canghan was speaking, he also set up a barrier near Gao Linyun to prevent him from hearing what was being said.

The reason for doing this is simple: to facilitate subsequent interrogation and thus ensure the accuracy of the method.

After listening to what the old man said, Li Zhirui did not release the various restrictions on him, and kept him imprisoned in place.

After all, they are currently in a space where a large number of precious, even extinct, spiritual creatures are planted. If they suddenly go mad, all the spiritual creatures in the space will suffer and be doomed!
Moreover, they were destined to be handed over to the Immortal Path, because it was too dangerous for the Li family to explore the outer world on their own. If the other side of the spatial rift was a vast world, then the Li family would not only fail to obtain resources from it, but might also provoke a counterattack, putting the family in danger.

Since he couldn't keep these two under his control, he naturally wouldn't allow them to reveal the secret of the space.

Therefore, Li Zhirui initially confined the two to an untended mountain, so that they would lack sufficient understanding of their environment and thus not expose his biggest secret.

He then began interrogating Gao Linyun, whose will was much stronger, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and he eventually obediently revealed the method.

Comparing the two, there are no conflicts or contradictions, which gives the Dharma a certain degree of credibility.

Of course, it's also possible that the two had already discussed it beforehand. If that's the case, Li Zhirui can only admit his inferiority.

After obtaining the method, he did not rush to cultivate it, but instead tried to deduce it in his sea of ​​consciousness to see if he could further improve it.

During this process, he was once again amazed and incredulous at how these two were able to create this secret technique.

Then, he looked at the two with some pity, because if nothing unexpected happened, the two would fall into the hands of the immortal, and at best they would be imprisoned and lose their freedom; at worst they would be directly used as experimental subjects.

Especially the old man, whose lifespan was almost over. For the next month or so, Li Zhirui devoted his energy to further refining the method, but unfortunately there was little progress. However, he was not disappointed, after all, how easy is it to innovate a new method?

“Those humanitarian measures should be withdrawn.”

He doesn't believe that humanity would expend a huge cost to gamble on a low-probability scenario.

Before leaving, he used his powers to knock the two unconscious once more.

"really!"

The moment Li Zhirui left the space, he looked towards the distant pass, where the powerful, sky-covering human law net had disappeared.

This immediately relieved him. Without any humane deliberate obstruction, nothing could stop him from embarking on the road back to the Eastern Continent!

"Set off."

Without hesitation or doubt, and after confirming that there were no problems, they decisively set off on their journey.

……

at the same time.

The Southern Region, the core territory of renowned figures.

More than a dozen sages gathered together, setting aside sectarian differences and working together to perfect the method of space travel as soon as possible.

And thanks to their efforts, they actually succeeded in just over a month!
That's how it appears on the surface, but the actual situation is currently unknown as it hasn't been tested.

"Next comes the most crucial and important part—the test."

Issues such as the stability and safety of spatial cracks need to be identified through testing, and then repaired and improved.

As cultivators of the human path, they naturally wouldn't use humans for experiments from the start. There are so many demonic beasts outside, they could easily capture many, enough to sustain them until the experiment ended.

……

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

In the void and chaos, from some unknown corner, came the sounds of fierce fighting.

"Die!" Li Zhixuan roared furiously.

Her opponent was a monster that looked very much like a centipede, but without as many legs; its jet-black shell provided it with powerful defense.

Even though she broke through the insect monster's outermost defense, she couldn't do much damage to it because beneath its carapace lay a thick layer of white fat.

This scene made Li Zhixuan even angrier, as her killing move had been so easily neutralized by the other party.

hum-

His inner magical power surged like a torrent, flowing entirely into the longsword in his hand. The sword seemed to emit a sword cry in excitement, and then he swung it fiercely, attacking the monster, hoping that this strike would severely injure it.

Unexpectedly, the monster reacted extremely quickly, immediately recalling its scales to cover its body, while simultaneously channeling its magic to further enhance its defense.

Clang!
The sword struck down, but it felt as if it had struck hard metal.

But under this sword strike, they only held on for a few more moments before their shells were blasted to smithereens.

As for the layer of fat on the monster's body, it seemed to lose its effect at this moment, and Li Zhixuan focused her attack on its true vitals.

"Ahhhh-"

The monster let out a piercing, painful scream.

The monster, which was so arrogant just a moment ago, is now paralyzed and lying on the ground, unable to move.

In this way, its outcome was already predetermined!

woohoo-

After unleashing several more sword strikes, she finally managed to defeat the troublesome monster. Even though she had triumphed over this formidable foe, Li Zhixuan's expression remained grim.

Firstly, she had been training in the void for so long, hoping to obtain an opportunity to become a celestial being, but it had not come to pass.

Secondly, the large quantity of pills she brought from her recent training trip has run out!
This situation means that after a while, even if she doesn't want to leave, she will have to return to the Yuanling Realm.

Unless Li Zhixuan is willing to risk losing her life at any moment, even if the elixir is exhausted, to stay in the void to train and seek an opportunity to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm.

"Should I take a gamble or play it safe and make a breakthrough?" Li Zhixuan asked herself.

Deep down, she was more inclined to take a gamble, but she was also very worried that if she took such a risk, she might still fail to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm.

After hesitating for a while, Li Zhixuan finally made up her mind to stay in the void and give it her all!
She wanted to return to her family with good news, and that news was none other than her breakthrough.

……

at the same time.

The Elemental Realm, Southern Region.

Less than a hundred miles ahead lies the border between the Southern Region and the Eastern Continent.

"Finally, I'm leaving!" Li Zhirui exclaimed, then resumed his original speed, bypassing the cities to avoid being detected by the Human Law Network, and flew straight towards the Eastern Continent.

A moment later, he reappeared.

The final push went very smoothly, without any unexpected situations.

Standing in mid-air, I couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling the rich spiritual energy, profound laws, and vibrant atmosphere of this place.

Before this experience, Li Zhirui did not pay much attention to his perception of a particular area, but now he can make accurate judgments immediately.

"Finally home!"

He uttered a soft sigh, then vanished once more. (End of Chapter)
