Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Seeing this, Li Zhirui did not stop, but instead sped up the purification process so that Xiaoqing could be freed more quickly.

Even so, it still took a full half hour to completely purify all the impurities in his body.

If Li Zhirui hadn't intervened to protect Xiaoqing's heart, he would probably have died in excruciating pain while unconscious!

"call--"

Even after doing all that, Li Zhirui felt exhausted and exhaled a large breath of stale air.

Because he was worried about Xiaoqing's condition, he did not rush to leave. Instead, he sat cross-legged to one side, adjusting his breathing to recover while closely monitoring her condition.

Several days passed before Xiaoqing finally woke up from her coma.

"Thank you, Ninth Brother!" As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Li Zhirui not far away and managed to say these words in a hoarse voice.

"It's okay."

After carefully examining him and confirming that he was alright, Li Zhirui said, "You have now survived this tribulation. The bottleneck to breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm has dissipated. Take good care of yourself, and once you resolve the issues of your divine position and duties, you should be able to break through smoothly."

"It can be considered a blessing in disguise." A smile appeared on Xiaoqing's lips.

Although he suffered a misfortune and nearly died, he was destined for good fortune, as he successfully resolved the bottleneck that had plagued him for many years.

If he weren't a deity, he could have attempted to transcend the tribulation and break through after he recovered.

only……

"Although this injury did not cause any fundamental damage, both my soul and my body have suffered a huge deficiency and I will need to recuperate for a period of time."

This period of time is at least two or three thousand years.

"A few thousand years is nothing. I have plenty of patience to wait."

Having gone through this ordeal, Xiaoqing's temperament has changed a lot. Originally, he gave people the feeling of a raging, howling wind, but now he has become much calmer, unhurried and slow to act.

"That's good."

Seeing Xiaoqing like this now, Li Zhirui was quite pleased.

After taking care of Xiaoqing for another day or two and seeing that he had recovered somewhat and at least regained his mobility, Li Zhirui left. He couldn't stay and take care of him forever.

But to his surprise, Li Zhirui ran into Xiao Cang as soon as he stepped out.

"Ninth Brother, is Xiao Qing alright?"

"It's alright. In fact, he turned misfortune into blessing and broke through his bottleneck. However, his injuries are quite severe and will take one or two thousand years to heal." Li Zhirui briefly recounted Xiaoqing's ordeal.

Hearing this, Xiao Cang was finally relieved. He had noticed Li Zhirui rushing into Xiaoqing Cave and knew something was wrong, but he was a step too slow and was blocked by the formation before he could follow.

He was worried that forcibly breaking the formation would cause an accident, so he could only wait anxiously outside and pray silently these days.

What are your thoughts on your future?

Since we've run into them, let's ask Xiaocang about her plans for the future. We mustn't end up like Xiaoqing, walking a tightrope on a cliff, where a slight misstep could lead to utter destruction.

“No…” A trace of distress and worry immediately appeared on Xiao Cang’s face. For so many years, he had been trying to start from three aspects: expanding the divine domain, raising the divine position, and increasing the number of divine positions.

But there was no clue, or rather, no practical solution.

Starting with the Divine Realm? Back then, to guard against the sea race, the waters surrounding Shanhaizhou had long been under their own control, and Xiao Cang had also benefited from this.

The Heavenly Court would never allow these powerful deities to expand their divine domain by defeating lesser deities. After all, if they did that, there would be no room for lesser deities to survive, and the divine path would be in complete chaos.
Raising her divine status is also not feasible, because the area of ​​water Xiao Cang occupies is only so big, and there is nothing special about it, so how can she be raised?
As for the remaining task of adding clergy, firstly, he didn't know where to start; secondly, clergy were precious and not easy to obtain.

After listening to Xiao Cang's troubles, Li Zhirui gave him a suggestion, saying, "Have you considered the God of Rain and the God of Snow?"

The Rain God and Snow God, as deities in charge of rain and snow, are a perfect match for his current divine position as the Water God. If Xiao Cang can master the divine domains of the two new divine positions, which are of the same size as the Water God, then the shackles that are preventing him from breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm will also disappear!
Moreover, in the current situation, the Rain God and Snow God are relatively niche divine positions.

Firstly, because both are too busy and exhausted, and if there is even the slightest mistake, they will either be punished by the Heavenly Dao or by the Heavenly Court, or even both of them will act together!
Secondly, their divine rank is relatively low, and the area they govern is relatively small; but most importantly, their future prospects are narrow, unlike those of water gods and earth gods who have broad prospects.

"That's right! How come I didn't think of these?" Xiao Cang's eyes lit up. He had always been arrogant and hadn't paid attention to these minor divine positions.

But after Li Zhirui reminded him of this, and hearing that it would help him break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm, he naturally didn't have the slightest disdain. Everything else was fake, only his own cultivation was real!
"Thank you for reminding me, Ninth Brother!" Xiao Cang expressed her sincere gratitude.

"You'll need to work hard to earn these priesthoods yourself."

"Of course! I would never miss this opportunity." Because he knew in his heart that if he missed this opportunity, there probably wouldn't be another one!

If no other solution can be found by then, Xiao Cang may very well remain stuck in the Earth Immortal Realm, unable to move.

It's good to have this spirit; the worst thing is to lose it entirely, then there's truly no hope for them.

"Take your time to figure out where to start. I won't bother you anymore."

Those who needed saving have been saved, and those who needed reminders have been given. Whether the two of them can ultimately break through to the Celestial Immortal realm depends on their own abilities.

Upon returning to his cave, Li Zhirui immediately put aside all other matters and began his cultivation.

As usual, he absorbed spiritual energy while comprehending the laws, multitasking but keeping the two things distinct so as not to affect each other.

……

After receiving Li Zhirui's reminder, Xiao Cang immediately began preparing various spiritual items. He was prepared to spend many years traveling and not be able to cultivate in seclusion.

After all, divine office is not so easy to obtain; it may take hundreds or even thousands of years for a divine office to be formed from heaven and earth.

After preparing all the various spiritual items, he left Wanxian Mountain and began his journey.

What Xiao Cang is doing now is very simple: she is trying to understand rain, such as why it rains and what impact it has on them.

However, what seems like a simple method is extremely difficult to master. It took him a long time to learn and gain some understanding. But there is still a long way to go before he can condense it into a divine authority.

at the same time.

In the western continent of the Yuanling Realm, in a certain place.

Jiang Fengwu, dressed in a black robe, raced wildly across the land.

Not far behind her, several dark figures were hot on her heels.

"Stop right there!" Seeing Jiang Fengwu's speed increasing, the demonic cultivator couldn't help but shout.

But upon hearing this, she ran even faster.

As for why Jiang Fengwu came to the Western Continent, it was naturally to comprehend the runes in the world, to help him break through his bottleneck and become a Celestial Immortal.

After all, she had traveled almost all over the Yuanling Realm back then, except for the Western Continent, which she had never set foot in because of the demonic path. But it seems that because it was not perfect enough and lacked this point, she had not been able to break through for many years.

Moreover, during her training trip, she unexpectedly obtained a treasure map.

Normally, such treasure maps are fake, either fabricated or traps. But the moment Jiang Fengwu obtained one, a voice from the depths of her being told that it was real!
Moreover, there are also things among them that can help her cultivation. If she can obtain them, they will definitely enhance her future cultivation.

It was for these two reasons that Jiang Fengwu made up his mind to risk entering Xizhou!
If she wanted to enter the stronghold of the demonic cultivators, she naturally couldn't walk in there as a cultivator, otherwise she would become an obvious target.

Therefore, she set up several formations within her body, successfully disguising herself as a demonic cultivator. Not only did she appear like one normally, but when she used her supernatural powers, she exuded an aura of yin energy, leaving no flaws whatsoever.

Therefore, along the way, they did not arouse the slightest suspicion from any demonic cultivator.

This allowed Jiang Fengwu to comprehend the runes of the Western Continent very easily. Almost instantly, she discovered the difference between this place and other places. The runes in the Western Continent were extremely chaotic and unpredictable.

One moment you might see a solid mountain pattern, and the next moment it could turn into a collapsing mountain pattern.

At first, she found it very difficult to adapt, as it was completely different from what Jiang Fengwu had learned before, because the way of formations is a very rigorous discipline!

Of course, formations are not rigid and can have different variations, but they are not as chaotic and disorderly as they seem.

This puzzled Jiang Fengwu greatly. With such chaotic changes, why could the world of Xizhou remain stable with almost no natural disasters?

She felt that if she could figure this out, her knowledge of formations would be greatly improved!

So for many years to come, Jiang Fengwu tried to solve this problem, and even temporarily put the treasure map aside.

In her opinion, since the treasure location hasn't been discovered for so many years, it doesn't matter if it's a few more years later.

Therefore, Jiang Fengwu found a deserted mountain and began to seclude himself to comprehend the chaotic and ever-changing runes of heaven and earth.

After hundreds of years of contemplation, she had gained a profound understanding of this, and murmured, "All things change, yet change itself is unchanging! Therefore, the unchanging change is called the Way!"

The moment the words left his mouth, his soul was suddenly jolted, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun. Some things he didn't understand about the Dao of Formations before, he could now understand clearly.

Progress in the art of formations is certainly cause for celebration, but what makes Jiang Fengwu happiest is that her seemingly impenetrable bottleneck has shown a slight loosening, giving her hope for a breakthrough.

Having gained a deep understanding of the celestial runes of the Western Continent, Jiang Fengwu no longer stayed in the desolate mountains, but began to search according to the treasure map.

It took a lot of effort, and she encountered many attacks from demonic cultivators along the way. They didn't discover her identity; they just wanted to kill her and steal her treasure. This was an extremely common occurrence in the Western Continent, and there was nothing surprising about it.

Fortunately, despite the many hardships and setbacks along the way, Jiang Fengwu found the location on the treasure map relatively smoothly and without encountering any danger.

It was located deep in the Western Continent, a place that ordinary cultivators would almost never reach, but fortunately it was a wasteland with no demonic forces nearby.

Perhaps it is because it is desolate and deserted that the treasure has remained undiscovered for so long?
"This must be the location of the treasure."

Jiang Fengwu compared the treasure map repeatedly before determining a relatively accurate area, which would facilitate the subsequent search and excavation.

Just as she was about to start digging, she suddenly noticed several beams of light flying towards her from not far away, and a bad feeling immediately arose in her heart.

'Isn't that a bad idea? Do they have a treasure map too?!'

After thinking for a moment, he set up a concealment array nearby, so that anyone who walked into it would disappear instantly.

"what?"

As the group of demonic cultivators approached, one of them said, "I just noticed a figure here, but how did it suddenly disappear?"

“No one would come to this cursed wasteland. You must be seeing things,” another demonic cultivator said impatiently.

"The most important thing now is to find the treasure. Everything else can be put aside. Once we get the treasure, we will definitely be able to advance further, and maybe even break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm!" A certain demonic cultivator couldn't help but start dreaming.

The others didn't speak up to mock, because they all shared the same thought: having cultivated to the Earth Immortal realm, who wouldn't want to go further?

Hiding in the shadows, Li Zhirui couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. It seemed that these demonic cultivators knew what treasures were in this treasury.
Given that there were seven or eight demonic cultivators on the other side, and she was no match for them alone, she didn't rush to show herself. She could wait until they unearthed the treasure and then snatch it into her hands!

Moreover, this group of demonic cultivators will never be as harmonious as they appear. The current superficial peace is only because there is a treasure ahead of them. Once they obtain the treasure, infighting will inevitably break out among them!
This gave Jiang Fengwu an opportunity.

There is strength in numbers, especially when they are a group of demonic cultivators at the Earth Immortal Realm.

In a short while, a huge pit appeared on the once flat wasteland. Looking down from above, it looked like the gaping maw of a beast ready to devour someone, which was quite terrifying.

Without the slightest hesitation, all eight people jumped in.

This shows that the trust between them is very fragile.

Logically, one or two people should have stayed outside to keep watch, but seemingly afraid that they might do something underhanded, and also feeling that this place was a deserted wilderness, they all went into the treasure trove.

Jiang Fengwu, who had remained hidden to the side from beginning to end and was not discovered, naturally did not jump in after them. Instead, he quietly set up several large formations nearby.

Once the demonic cultivators emerge, they'll be greeted with this surprise! (End of Chapter)
