Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

The Great Qian Dynasty in the Southern Region has embarked on a journey to conquer another world.

Meanwhile, the research on the secret techniques for traversing the world by the other two great dynasties has also reached a very high level, and they may succeed in doing so soon.

On the other hand, the Immortal Path, despite having obtained the complete secret technique and handing it over to them, allowing them to study it directly without needing to convert it, is actually progressing slower than the Human Path!

The reason for this lies in the fact that the immortal path did not choose to concentrate its efforts to jointly deduce the secret method, but instead each went its own way. As a result, it was naturally inferior to the human path.

This is partly due to differences in their philosophies. For example, the human way emphasizes the collective power of the masses, while the immortal way pursues the return of great power to oneself.

Many immortal cultivation factions are unable to cooperate sincerely due to various contradictions and conflicts.

When Li Zhirui offered up the secret technique, he observed the reactions and expressions of the people from various factions and guessed that this would be the outcome.

Therefore, he did not mention cooperation at the time, but instead decisively left.

After returning to his family, he did not mention this matter to his clansmen, because the family's strength was still a bit lacking. If there were a few more Celestial Immortals, he would definitely gather everyone together to perfect the secret technique before trying to explore the outer world.

However, it seems that it will take quite some time to unearth this secret technique.

Even Li Zhirui himself only glanced at the secret technique once after obtaining it before choosing to seal it away.

……

Kunlun Prefecture.

Shortly after the Great Qian Dynasty began its exploration and conquest of the outer world, several immortal cultivation forces received the news.

Furthermore, the other two great dynasties are also moving quickly, and it won't be long before they can perfect the method.

"How could they move so quickly?!" This was the first reaction of many cultivators upon hearing this.

But once they calmed down, they realized what had caused it.

But when they thought about that problem, they immediately fell silent. After all, it was not something they could accomplish by getting all the major forces to cooperate wholeheartedly.

Therefore, faced with such a situation, they could only sigh and express their helplessness. At most, they could only send the message back to their respective sects for the sect leaders and elders to decide.

The various factions reacted differently upon learning of this, but they all realized that things couldn't continue like this! These two pieces of news had a significant impact on them.

Especially since they had initially gained the upper hand, only to be overtaken by humanity, these self-proclaimed superior immortal forces were quite annoyed and somewhat regretful.

I regret not facilitating a coalition of forces when Li Zhirui contributed the secret technique. Even if it wasn't the entire Immortal Path, but just cooperation among a few forces, it would be much better than the current situation.

After some private discussion, the top powers decided to concentrate the power of the Immortal Path, as this was the only way to surpass the Human Path and regain the leading position in this competition.

This also ensures that the Immortal Path still occupies a dominant position in the Yuanling Realm, instead of suddenly becoming the Human Path one day.

I just hope it's not too late!

buzzing-

What should have been an ordinary day became extraordinary because of the sudden activation of the Eight Directions Heavenly Pillar Array.

Initially, several top powers activated the formation simultaneously, and dazzling spiritual light shot into the sky, quickly spreading in all directions. In just a few breaths, it connected with every place with a node on the Eastern Continent.

Some forces that knew the inside story stood calmly in front of the formation, waiting for the major powers to speak, while those forces that did not know the reason thought that a great war was about to break out, and inevitably felt a little uneasy.

"Could something big be about to happen in the Yuanling Realm again?" At Wanxian Mountain, clan leader Li Xiuyuan nervously approached the Eight Directions Heavenly Pillar Formation, waiting for others to speak.

After most people arrived, a solemn voice said, "Humanity has already begun exploring the outer world with the help of secret methods. We must not fall behind. Therefore, we have convened this meeting to discuss how to deal with the impact brought by humanity."

"Ok?"

Like Li Xiuyuan, many people were filled with doubt and had several questions about what he said.

In particular, his mention of secret techniques and exploring other worlds left me puzzled and somewhat shocked.

Because in many people's minds, this is something that is impossible to do, but now it seems that humanity has succeeded in doing so, and the immortal path also has a similar method.

"May I ask, senior, could you please explain in detail what this means?" the leader of a small faction asked timidly in a low voice.

He was worried that if he didn't speak up now, he wouldn't have another chance.

"One or two hundred years ago, two cultivators from beyond the realm entered the Yuanling Realm through a self-created method. They were captured by Fellow Daoist Li Zhirui, who then voluntarily offered them up to the Immortal Path..."

At this point, the man paused, then said, "But for some reasons, we haven't studied this secret technique in depth."

"On the other hand, those great human dynasties devoted themselves to the secret method after obtaining it, and finally succeeded in deducing it."

Many cultivators understood that they were all harboring their own ulterior motives and had not cooperated in deduce the method. However, upon learning that the Human Path had been successfully established, they became anxious and hastily convened this meeting.

However, now is not the time to talk about these things. Besides, their strength is formidable, so how could these small forces dare to question them? They should just listen obediently.

However, that celestial senior named Li Zhirui was far too selfless, actually offering up such a precious method without asking for anything in return.

This attitude is truly admirable. Of course, many cultivators also think he is foolish for not taking the opportunity to obtain some precious spiritual items and techniques.

But what they don't know is that favors are the most precious and the hardest to repay, especially favors owed to powerful people!
When Li Xiuyuan heard his ancestor's name, he was taken aback. Thinking back to what he had said before, he was very puzzled as to why his ancestor had not mentioned this matter to them after returning.
However, it's not appropriate to send someone to inquire right now, so we can only keep our doubts to ourselves and visit Rui Zu after the meeting to find out the truth.

At the same time, the major forces had already reached an agreement: any immortal forces that wanted to participate would contribute manpower or spiritual objects. Anyone who wanted to join would have to make a contribution.

After the method is deduced, not only will you obtain the complete method, but you can also explore the outer world with others.

Of course, if a certain force is unwilling to contribute anything, then all the subsequent gains and achievements will have nothing to do with you.

"Esteemed seniors, if I may be so bold as to ask a question, such a secret technique must be extremely advanced and profound. We are merely a scattered immortal force, how can we possibly contribute to it?"

No one would want to miss out on this opportunity, because it's clearly a great thing that benefits their own development. They might even be able to use this opportunity to achieve a leap in social class, or even a series of leaps!

The problem is, how could such a powerful secret technique be qualified for these small forces to participate?

"There's no need to worry about it." This answer really surprised everyone, and they didn't quite understand why he said that.

"The founder of this secret technique was only at the mortal realm, yet they could do it, so why can't you?" The powerful figure then cleared up everyone's doubts.

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, the cultivators who were unaware of the situation were immediately taken aback. If these words hadn't come from his mouth, they wouldn't have believed this outrageous answer!

"Alright! If anyone has any ideas, you can contact the following forces: Taishang Palace, Yuxu Palace, Biyou Palace, Dongyuan Sect, Yinyang Mountain, and the Jiang Family of Danshan..."

He named more than a dozen top-tier immortal forces, which were distributed in all corners of the Eastern Continent, making it convenient for many small and medium-sized forces so that they no longer had to travel long distances.

These major powers can also communicate in a timely manner through the Eight Directions Heavenly Pillar Array. Since they only communicate at a few nodes, the consumption of spiritual energy is not too exaggerated.

After all these arrangements were made, the forces that had previously activated the great formation immediately cut off the supply of spiritual energy. If no one provided it, the formation would shut down after ten breaths.

In fact, before the time was up, all parties took the initiative to close the formation.

They have so much to do next, they shouldn't waste time on this.

The grand commotion caused by the Immortal Path also alarmed the other major factions, especially since they had activated the Eight Directions Heavenly Pillar Formation for a full quarter of an hour, and it was fully activated!
This made them very curious about what the immortal path would do next, and they all sent people to find out.

The first thing Li Xiuyuan did after emerging from the formation was to visit Li Zhirui and see what the old man thought about it.

knock knock --

Just as Li Zhirui finished his practice, he heard the bell outside the door, raised an eyebrow, and let the person in.

"Greetings, Emperor Ruizu!" After bowing in greeting, he then spoke.

Li Zhirui lifted him up and asked, "Does the clan leader have something to discuss with me?"

“Rui Zu, just now the major forces of the Immortal Path activated the Eight Directions Heavenly Pillar Array, making the secret of the world travel technique public. It is said that the Human Dynasty has already completed it, so they want to unite all the forces of the Immortal Path to complete this task.”

"Oh?"

Sure enough!

Li Zhirui found it amusing; one wouldn't know how much it hurt unless the paddle hit them personally.

As for regretting it now, is it too late? Not really. After all, humanity is only just beginning and hasn't surpassed them by much. There's still a chance to catch up.

“Rui Zu, you obtained this secret technique, why didn’t you tell us first? If it weren’t for those powerful forces this time, the family would probably still be kept in the dark.”

It wasn't exactly an interrogation, just a little bit of dissatisfaction.

“Our family’s strength is too weak. I’m worried that the spatial rift we’ve opened might be on the other side of another great world. If those extraterrestrial beings discover the existence of the spatial rift, it will have a huge impact on our family and the Yuanling Realm.”

This was Li Zhirui's previous reason, but now that the Immortal Path has been opened up, his previous actions are no longer useful.

"The family can send clansmen with some spiritual items to learn and secretly master the techniques. Most importantly, they should obtain the perfected secret method," Li Zhirui instructed.

The purpose of doing this is very simple: when the family grows up in the future, it will no longer need to rely on the collective strength, but can act independently.

"Yes!" Li Xiuyuan quickly agreed and took his leave.

Li Zhirui, on the other hand, was deep in thought, wondering what kind of impact this matter would have.

First of all, with the Immortal Path making such a big commotion, beings from other factions will definitely send people to investigate, and some may even already know what happened.

Secondly, the family must be prepared to depart at any time to avoid missing opportunities.

He couldn't think of anything more for the time being; that was all for now.

the other side.

As expected, other factions sent people to spy on the meeting. Nearly a thousand cultivators participated, and they had to inform their elders, close associates, and so on.

In other words, at least several thousand, or even tens of thousands, of people know about this.

In this situation, what's the point of talking about secrecy?
Therefore, it wasn't long before the various factions received reports and learned what the Immortal Path was doing.

"It's such a big deal?!"

In the Heavenly Court, Ziwei played with a precious jade, her slightly furrowed brows revealing countless hidden thoughts.

"Someone, send someone to the Eastern Continent to contact the Immortal Path and ask if they are willing to sell their cultivation methods."

Ziwei immediately realized the profound meaning behind this. There are countless worlds beyond the realm, containing countless precious resources and spiritual objects.

If one could control several worlds, one can imagine how much one would gain!

I missed it before because I didn't know, but now that I do, of course I want to find a way to get my hands on it.

The other major factions share the same idea.

However, obtaining the secret techniques is not as easy for them as it is for the divine path, where they can openly and legitimately conduct transactions.

After all, whether it's the demon race, the sea race, or the demonic path, they all have very poor relations with the immortal path or the human path, so it's impossible for them to buy them.

Left with no other choice, they had to activate their spies embedded within the Immortal Path and have them transmit the teachings back.

As for the fact that doing so would expose the undercover agents who had been lying low for many years, they couldn't care less about that; the secret method of traveling through the world was more important.

It can be said that what was originally a secret technique created by two mortal cultivators has now stirred the minds of countless beings and various forces in the Yuanling Realm.

From this perspective, it is undoubtedly a great success.

Humanity, upon learning that the Immortal Path was concentrating its power to deduce the method, immediately disregarded it. A single step behind leads to endless setbacks! The Immortal Path will pay the price for its arrogance. (End of Chapter)
