Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

"It's always good to have extra, so don't refuse," Li Zhirui said, stopping Li Zhixuan from returning some of the pills.

Hearing him say that, she had no choice but to accept it, because Li Zhixuan did not have complete confidence or certainty about the upcoming tribulation. Preparing more pills now would give her a better chance.

"If you need anything else, just let me know, and I will definitely find a way to prepare it for you."

Li Zhirui saw the worry and unease beneath her calm exterior, and said this to give her some confidence.

"Thank you for your concern, Ninth Brother."

Li Zhixuan was deeply moved, but she had already wasted a lot of time, so she didn't continue to linger and took her leave.

Watching her departing figure and thinking about her current state, Li Zhirui couldn't help but feel a little worried and wanted to know what had happened to her over the years.

The best way is to examine the jade slip in your hand.

He steadied his mind and probed into it with his divine sense. In an instant, a massive flow of information began to wash over him. Of course, with the strength of his divine soul, this flow of information could not cause any impact at all.

But Li Zhirui was utterly shocked by the information contained within!
In fact, he had known for a long time that Li Zhixuan had used up the large number of pills she had taken away, but she still forcibly stayed in the void to train for a long time. After all, most of them were taken from him, so he naturally knew what was going on.

But to her utter surprise, she encountered all sorts of extremely dangerous things in the void.

He was chased by a group of Void Beasts, which left him with a hideous and unsightly scar on his face and body. Strangely, the scar could not be repaired.

During one of her explorations, she accidentally stumbled into the lair of a mysterious void monster and found a sword-shaped spiritual fruit. Although Li Zhixuan was surprised, she did not intend to consume it immediately.

But who could have imagined that the moment it came into contact with the spiritual fruit, it would turn into spiritual light and enter her body?

Instantly, intense pain erupted within her, making it difficult for her to breathe and leaving her feeling weak all over.

At first, Li Zhixuan thought the spiritual fruit contained deadly poison and that she would die a pathetic death in the void. After a while, she realized something was wrong. She only felt pain and was not in danger of dying.

The reason she felt pain was because that special spiritual fruit was brutally and rapidly transforming her body!
Originally, Li Zhixuan was just an ordinary person with four spiritual roots and very poor aptitude. Her achievements today are entirely due to her own methods and the special features of the Killing God Sword Dao, which made her cultivation speed much faster.

Under normal circumstances, she would be very happy and excited. It's not that her talent is a disadvantage, after all, she is about to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm, so the quality of her talent doesn't have much of an impact.

During the transformation process, Li Zhixuan quickly learned the direction of the transformation. After she refined the spirit fruit, she would become a sword body!
This special Dao body is of great help to sword cultivation, so she would naturally be happy, but the timing and place were not right.

Needless to say, Li Zhixuan knew that this place was too dangerous and not a good place to stay, so she decided to force herself to escape.

At first, things went relatively smoothly, but just as she was about to leave the lair, the monster returned!
Even when she was at her peak strength, she was no match for this monster. How could she possibly be a match for it now that her body is still undergoing modification?
In order to survive, she had no choice but to do whatever it took to stay alive in this world.

Therefore, the natal spirit sword broke right here!

The only saving grace was that the spiritual fruit he had previously consumed had actually allowed him to integrate the remaining half of the spiritual sword into his body.

In this way, Li Zhixuan herself is the natal magic weapon. As long as she doesn't die, the broken Xuan Sword is just a weapon.

This, combined with her continued training in the void over the years, led to a qualitative leap in her sword energy, making it extremely powerful.

As for being caught up in the dangers of chaotic storms and chaotic waves, that was commonplace. She herself couldn't remember how many times she had encountered them, but there were at least a dozen.

Several times she faced perilous situations, but Li Zhixuan persevered because of her strong will to survive.

When she first returned to the Yuanling Realm, she was in a sorry state, dressed in rags. This was because she had encountered too many dangers, and all the clothes she brought with her were damaged. She had no choice but to pick out one of the clothes that looked relatively intact to wear.

Overall, Li Zhixuan's experience this time has been a mixed bag, but if she can successfully overcome the tribulation and become a Celestial Immortal in the near future, then she can be said to have gained a great deal!
After all, the fact that she broke through her bottleneck and became a Celestial Immortal was more important than all the other dangers she encountered!
……

Li Zhirui finished reading the jade slip in a very short time, but it took him half an hour to digest its contents!

"Ninth Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Daqing and Xiaoqing came hand in hand. Looking at Li Zhirui, who seemed dazed but also somewhat surprised, they couldn't help but ask.

He was immediately startled awake by the sound, snapping out of his reverie, and looked at the two people who had suddenly appeared. "How did you get in?"

“Ninth Brother, you didn’t close the gate. When Daqing and I came out of the pass, we saw this situation, so we wanted to know what happened,” Xiaoqing explained.

"Do you know that Zhixuan is back?"

After a pause, she added, "She has broken through the bottleneck and will soon be able to receive the tribulation of lightning. Once she succeeds, the family will have another celestial being."

"Isn't this a joyous occasion? Why are you looking so gloomy, Ninth Brother?"

Li Zhirui couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't know the reason either, but Li Zhixuan, who was always confident and could take everything calmly, had expressed concern about her tribulation. How could he not think about it?

"Is Ninth Brother worried that Zhixuan will fail?"

Daqing saw through it and said, "We might as well trust Zhixuan and believe that she has the ability to solve this problem."

The implication is that worrying now is useless; you should think about what can actually help.

Li Zhirui shook his head, silently handed over the jade slip in his hand, and said, "You two take a good look at this jade slip, and you'll know what I'm worried about."

"This, this, this..."

When the two of them came to their senses, they were at a loss for words. Even they were shocked by Li Zhixuan's experience.

Alone and without any elixirs to recover, they encountered so many perilous events in the void. If it were them, they might have perished long ago.

Not to mention that it can break through the bottleneck and will be able to transcend the tribulation in no time.

"Such methods are really going all out!" Xiaoqing couldn't help but exclaim.

Li Zhirui and Da Qing both nodded in agreement.

How are you now?

Da Qing calmly shook his head and said, "I'm not even at the peak of Earth Immortal, let alone break through to the Heaven Immortal realm. That's a very distant thing for me."

He has always been calm and composed about these things. Although he has been slow, he has been steady and reliable.

And this is indeed the most suitable cultivation rhythm for Da Qing.

"My injuries haven't fully healed yet, so I haven't dared to cultivate these days."

The inner demons he suffered back then caused him immense damage, and even now, he still has to pay the price for it.

"And the reason I came here is to ask Ninth Brother for some recovery pills." "You've come at the wrong time. I've already given all the pills you wanted to Zhixuan."

Li Zhirui shook his head, and seeing the disappointment on his face, added, "Don't worry, I will start refining pills in the next few days. You can come find me then."

"it is good."

After chatting for a while, the two said goodbye and left.

As the sun rose and set, ten days quickly passed.

These days, Li Zhirui has spent most of his time refining pills. He gave some of them to Xiaoqing and left the rest at the entrance of Li Zhixuan's cave, so that she could see them whenever she came out.

After dealing with this matter, he didn't rush to cultivate, but instead strolled around the family compound to relax.

But unexpectedly, today happens to be the family's annual spirit testing event!

Therefore, a valley at the foot of the mountain is very noisy and chaotic.

"Do you think this year's Spirit Testing Competition will produce a prodigy with celestial talent?"

"Since they are all chosen ones, they must be extremely rare and exceptional individuals. How could they be found so easily?!"

"I do hope so. With their talent, their cultivation speed is extremely fast. I might even have the opportunity to request an audience or visit them."

Everyone has their own ideas. Li Zhirui wasn't that eager, after all, even if he were a chosen one, it wouldn't help his cultivation.

However, he still hoped that a clansman with such excellent aptitude would appear, because their cultivation speed was fast enough and they consumed fewer spiritual resources.

However, in order to protect the privacy of the clan members, the clan's spirit-testing array does not reveal the aptitude of the clan members from the outside.

Of course, as the patriarch of the family, Li Zhirui could easily obtain the family roster if he wanted to.

He didn't do that; he just watched from a distance for a while, then left with a smile on his face.

The reason for the smile was, of course, because seeing the continuous stream of younger generations, even if only a few of them were able to break through to the Immortal Realm, it would be a great joy for the family.

With a joyful heart, Li Zhirui immersed himself in cultivation.

……

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Southern Regions, Great Qian Dynasty.

Hidden in a valley somewhere.

At this moment, a group of cultivators from various schools of Taoism seemed to have forgotten their conflicts and were all focused intently on the young man standing alone at the front, dressed in a python robe.

"Seniors, the way you all view me puts me under so much pressure," the young man joked softly.

"Your Highness, everything is ready. Please get started as soon as possible," a Confucian scholar urged rigidly.

"Okay, okay, I'll start right away." The Third Prince pouted, somewhat impatiently.

It's no wonder he reacted this way. After learning about the incomplete space travel method from those three extraterrestrial cultivators, the Confucian, Legalist, Mohist, and School of Names schools, as well as the later Hundred Schools of Thought, all participated and devoted tremendous effort to its research.

The reason why the Confucian, Legalist, Mohist, and Logician schools were willing to give up their manpower was not because of external threats, but because they realized that they could not perfect the secret method of world travel in a short period of time by relying solely on their own strength.

After all, the founder of this secret technique was from the immortal path, so they had to first transform it into a human path method before figuring out how to improve it.

Of course, in the process, the four factions also gained some benefits.

After many years and a great deal of manpower, material resources and financial resources were invested, the method was finally perfected half a year ago, and the existence of the spatial rift was greatly extended.

From half an hour at the beginning to almost a day now, it is a huge improvement.

But this was almost the limit, since the Heavenly Dao of the Yuanling Realm would not allow a spatial rift to exist for longer, so they had to change their approach.

For example, opening spatial rifts in a specific direction is a very good approach, which would also make it easier for them to invade other worlds!
But these are topics for future research.

anyway!

The success six months ago was only a theoretical success. Whether a spatial rift can actually be opened and a successful crossing can be achieved is still unknown, so experiments are needed.

Ultimately, the royal family sent the third prince to be the experimenter.

During these six months, the Third Prince had to conduct experiments every few days. He would have quit such a tedious and boring job long ago if it weren't for the current emperor's order.

As he skillfully used the secret technique, a pitch-black rift soon appeared in front of him. This was a spatial rift that allowed people to travel between worlds!

No one spoke; they simply focused their attention on the crack, as if by doing so, they could pierce through layers of space and see what was happening in the other world.

The Third Prince remained completely calm, simply following the steps to throw a demonic beast into the pit and then determining its life or death based on the fate tablet.

Half an hour later, another monster was thrown in.

"Still alive?!"

Fifteen minutes later, both life tablets remained intact.

But they didn't rush in; instead, they waited a while longer.

click-

One of the life tablets suddenly shattered, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

The monsters sent in later were under secret restrictions and were severely injured; they would die within a quarter of an hour if no one treated them.

And the performance of the fate card perfectly confirms this.

This most likely means that the other side of the spatial rift is safe!
"Success! Finally, success!" The Third Prince felt much lighter, as he would no longer need to conduct experiments.

The cultivators from various schools nearby, without needing his reminder, already knew that this secret technique, which had consumed countless efforts of theirs, was finally complete today! (End of Chapter)
