Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

By the time Li Zhirui emerged from seclusion, the world-traveling technique had developed to a very high level, and even the Li family had participated in it several times.

At that moment, he was listening to Li Xiuyuan recount the experiences of his people in exploring the world beyond their borders.

“Rui Zu, the family’s participation in these explorations has yielded fairly good results, obtaining some otherworldly spiritual objects. It’s just a pity that during the transplantation, due to a lack of understanding of the habits of these spiritual objects, coupled with the sudden change in environment, many of them withered and died.”

He glanced at Li Zhirui and said, "Fortunately, I sealed a copy in advance, just waiting for you, Ancestor Rui, to come out of seclusion so I can hand these spiritual items over to you for cultivation."

The fact that he possesses a method that can ensure the survival of spirits is a 100% certainty is an open secret among the family's higher-ups.

Furthermore, they speculated that Li Zhirui possessed methods that could accelerate the growth of spiritual objects; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to produce so many spiritual objects and pills each time.

Despite having various guesses in their hearts, no one dared to probe, let alone ask. Everyone tacitly pretended not to know anything.

"Give me all those spiritual items." Li Zhirui was fully aware of this as well, and pretended not to notice their suspicions.

"Great!" Li Xiuyuan was overjoyed and immediately took out jade boxes from his storage magic treasure. A quick glance revealed that there were at least three or four hundred of them, which was quite a haul.

"Once the cultivation is successful, I will give the family ten spirit seeds, as well as three seedlings and three plants in the growth stage, to facilitate the family's future cultivation."

"Then I'll have to trouble Ruizu!"

After finishing this matter, Li Xiuyuan immediately changed the subject and said, "Ruizu, the family recently applied to the Dongyuan Sect for permission to open the world rift independently. We would appreciate it if you could come and oversee things at that time."

This was another right that came with becoming a top-tier force in the center of secret method deduction.

He was also worried that if his family opened a spatial rift, they would encounter a powerful extraterrestrial world that would not only kill their clansmen who went to explore, but also enter the Yuanling Realm through the spatial rift.

Don't think that this kind of thing is rare. In fact, since the space travel method became popular, there have been no fewer than twenty instances of being invaded by other worlds, and some of them have even caused quite a few major disasters.

At that time, a power of Earth Immortals accidentally opened a spatial rift leading to the Great Thousand World, but unexpectedly, the passage on the other side appeared directly at the doorstep of a power of Heaven Immortals!

Not only did all the cultivators who went to explore die, but the other side also sent hundreds of cultivators to attack, including two Celestial Immortals.

Despite being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Spirit Realm and suffering a significant drop in strength, they still slaughtered the entire Earth Immortal force and even sent people to explore the surrounding area.

If it weren't for the fact that the powerful celestial beings of the Immortal Path joined forces and set up extremely strict and meticulous restrictions when distributing the space travel secret technique, they might have even taken the secret technique away.

Of course, they weren't without ways to obtain the secret techniques. Celestial Immortal cultivators like Li Zhirui were not bound by the restrictions.

However, in the Yuanling Realm, their home turf, these extraterrestrial beings could never be their match, nor could they possibly extract the secret techniques from their minds.

Although the spatial rift will not open in Wanxian Mountain, it is still in one of the family's residences. If an extraterrestrial creature were to launch a counter-invasion, it would be a significant blow to the Li family!

That's why Li Xiuyuan asked Li Zhirui to keep an eye on things and prevent this from happening.

"When?"

"It should be within the next ten days." Li Xiuyuan couldn't give an exact time either.

Li Zhirui nodded and said, "I understand. Just send someone to call me when the time comes."

Having said that, he disappeared from the family hall.

However, he did not return to his cave immediately. Instead, he went to Li Zhixuan's cave. He was somewhat disappointed to find the gate closed and that she had not yet come out of seclusion. However, he did not disturb her. He simply left a jade slip and turned to leave.

Li Zhirui made this special trip to talk to her about the Chaotic God-Demon Body. After all, many of his previous ideas were just his own imaginations without any physical reference. Now that he has Li Zhixuan, a living, breathing, newly born Chaotic God-Demon, he naturally wants to learn more about her.

The first thing I did after returning to my cave was to enter the space and plant all the spiritual objects that Li Xiuyuan had given me, and then leave them alone.

The only spiritual objects that could capture Li Zhirui's attention were those of the Five Elements Immortal Root, the Myriad Luminous Lotus, the Myriad Waters Treasure Spiritual Root, and the Starlight Vine, which were worthy of his personal care.

Although this so-called personal care only involved occasionally glancing into the space when he had free time.

After all, the space itself is mysterious, and any kind of spiritual creature can grow well, so he doesn't need to worry about it too much.

Li Zhirui chatted with Wu Xing for a few minutes, then cast his divine sense into the Five Elements Minor World and found Yu Hong sitting cross-legged in the Sea of ​​Heavenly Laws.

"Huh? What brings you here today?" Yu Hong asked in surprise.

"I haven't come to see the development of the Five Elements Minor Realm for so many years. As the master of the world, I should pay attention to it."

Li Zhirui wasn't lying; he had indeed come to check on the development of the Five Elements Minor Realm.

After all, he hadn't paid much attention to the Five Elements Minor Realm since it was created. At first, he would occasionally check on it, but after Yu Hong joined, he couldn't even remember how many years it had been since he last visited.

The Five Elements Minor Realm is quite large, its laws are relatively complete, and it has even given rise to many different kinds of living beings. It can be said to be a thriving and vibrant place.

"You've worked so hard all these years, and it's thanks to you that the Five Elements Minor Realm has developed so well," Li Zhirui said sincerely.

Yu Hong waved his hand dismissively and said, "This is also part of my cultivation; there's no need for such formality."

He said no more, but handed the Chaos God and Demon Body Technique to Yu Hong, saying, "Take a look at this secret technique and give your evaluation."

Yu Hong glanced at Li Zhirui with some surprise. Judging from his reaction, he seemed to value this secret technique quite a bit!

He then stopped talking and began to read the jade slip carefully. Gradually, he became attracted to the secret technique and devoted himself to it.

This is no longer simply watching, but understanding!

Li Zhirui raised an eyebrow, but did not disturb him. He simply stood quietly to the side, looking down at the weak and insignificant creatures on the earth.

About three days later, Yu Hong finally awoke from his meditative state, looking at him with surprise and joy, and said, "How did you come up with such a great method!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui chuckled, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you make it out to be. The method is not perfect yet, and even if it were perfect, it wouldn't be considered great."

Although I am being modest, I can't help but feel proud when I hear such high praise.

"Don't be modest. In my opinion, this method is fully worthy of the word 'great'."

Yu Hong shook his head and said, "This gives countless beings another path to choose after transcending the Great Thousand Worlds, instead of only being able to choose to go to a higher level world as before."

Although the future of this path is uncertain, at least it provides another option.

From his perspective, this secret technique has a very bright future, and may even be better than simply following the prescribed methods of cultivation.

Thinking of this, Yu Hong couldn't help but praise him again, "You are truly a genius, to have come up with such a method! Perhaps one day you will be able to establish your own school, become a master, and be revered by thousands!"

Li Zhirui shook his head and said, "It's not necessarily true that I'm the only one who deduced the method." Then, he talked about Li Zhixuan's situation.

He never overestimated his abilities, so he wouldn't arrogantly believe that he was the only one who had mastered a certain secret technique. After all, the universe is so vast that anything is possible, let alone two similar methods.

And Li Zhixuan's case is certainly not the first one. Perhaps there have been such cases before, who deduced the method in reverse based on their own circumstances.

He may not spread it widely, but some of his relatives, friends, disciples, and followers might be practicing it.

Yu Hong thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, so he stopped bringing it up and instead had a heated discussion with Li Zhirui about the details of the Dharma.

"Are you planning to cultivate this method?"

Yu Hong's face fell, and he shook his head, saying, "The method is good, but it is not suitable for me."

His true form is not human, but a magical artifact, which does not align with the Dharma.

Of course, this is just a minor issue that can be fixed with some time.

What truly hindered Yu Hong was that his cultivation path was unusual, requiring him to comprehend the Three Thousand Laws, and the higher his level of mastery, the higher his realm would be.

Although he is now focusing on the Yin-Yang principle, he has only lowered the requirements for other principles, not eliminated them entirely.

Under these circumstances, Yu Hong doesn't know what price he will have to pay to cultivate the secret technique, and this is just the beginning. If he wants to achieve something, the price will probably be even greater!

Hearing this, Li Zhirui realized that this method was indeed not suitable for him, and asked, "Do you think there is anything wrong with this method, or anything inappropriate about it?"

"If I were to casually dismiss the laws you have meticulously deduced, you wouldn't be able to say anything. But I won't hide it now; I haven't even looked at the details carefully yet."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui did not disturb Yu Hong any further, but quietly left the Five Elements Minor Realm, his consciousness returning to his physical body.

……

As the sun rose and set, several days passed quickly, and the day arrived when Li Zhirui agreed to the clan chief Li Xiuyuan's request.

knock --

He sent someone to inform them, and they knocked very carefully on the courtyard gate.

Li Zhirui, who was meditating on a certain pill formula in his quiet room, naturally heard the sound. After a quick calculation in his mind, he knew what it was about. He immediately put away the jade slip, got up and went to the courtyard gate.

“Rui Zu, the clan chief sent me to invite you over.”

"Then let's go." Without any hesitation, decisive and direct, a spiritual light enveloped the two of them, and they vanished without a trace in an instant.

"Is everyone waiting for me?" By the time Li Zhirui arrived, everyone else was already in place.

"Greetings, Emperor Ruizu!" Everyone bowed in unison.

He added, "Everyone here has only been here a short time."

"Let's go then."

"it is good."

The group boarded the hearse and headed straight for a relatively remote residence of the Li family.

Baifeng Mountain, located north of Wanxian Mountain and near the Changli Mountain Range, has a mediocre spiritual atmosphere, but the scenery is quite nice, especially in autumn. The mountain peaks, which are only a hundred feet high, look as if they have been splashed with fuel, appearing very colorful and naturally beautiful.

The usually peaceful Baifeng Mountain was bustling with activity today, attracting over a hundred people.

As soon as everyone disembarked from the spirit ship and entered the mountains, they began to get busy making various arrangements.

Now all that's left is for Li Xiuyuan to give the order, and then a special clansman will use a secret technique to open up a spatial rift.

"Don't look at me, just give the order yourself."

Li Zhirui felt Li Xiuyuan's gaze and immediately spoke.

Li Xiuyuan took a deep breath and shouted, "Begin!"

The clansman's fingers flew across the paper, spiritual light swirling within them, and various complex and profound incantations emerged from his hands, seamlessly blending into his movements.

The space that was originally empty in front of him suddenly seemed to have been torn open, creating a gap that slowly expanded until it formed a complete spatial rift, eliminating the need for any more secret techniques.

Wishing everyone a safe return!

Li Zhirui offered no flowery blessings to his people who ventured into the outer world, but instead expressed simple and sincere hopes.

Even if all of these clansmen died in the outer world, given the family's current strength, it wouldn't have a significant impact.

Because for the entire family, those people's strength was just a drop in the ocean, or even negligible.

Therefore, many people do not care much about their lives and deaths, but behind these clansmen are individual families.

As this group of clansmen all passed through the spatial rift and headed to the outer world, Hundred Maple Mountain became much quieter again, but many people were eagerly anticipating their return, hoping they would bring back precious spiritual items.

Li Zhirui stood to the side, silent and barely noticeable; many clansmen subconsciously ignored the presence of this ancestor.

Suddenly, he took a step forward, heading directly towards the spatial rift.

"Rui Zu, are you planning to personally travel to the outer world?" Li Xiuyuan asked hurriedly.

"I'm just curious about the process of traveling through the world."

After a moment's thought, he stepped over, leaving behind the words "I'll be right back," and disappeared.

Li Xiuyuan was somewhat apprehensive, but in front of his clansmen, he maintained a calm demeanor and asked everyone to continue waiting.

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui had already arrived in the outer world.

Upon entering, he sensed the various restrictions and weakenings imposed on him by the Heavenly Dao, and his strength was probably reduced to only one-tenth.

And this is considered good; in some worlds, the Heavenly Dao imposes even more severe restrictions, seemingly intending to keep all extraterrestrial beings out, and if they dare to enter at will, they will all be weakened to the extreme.

I've heard that in the most severely affected world, even a Human Immortal cultivator could only unleash the power of a mortal. (End of Chapter)
