Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Although Li Zhixuan didn't concern herself with family affairs, she had heard about the family's exploration of the outer world, which is why she remembered it at this time.

Having made up her mind, she immediately set off for the family hall and found the patriarch, Li Xiuyuan.

"There is something I would like to discuss with the family."

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Xiuyuan's eyes. This was the first time he had ever seen this ancestor enter the family hall on his own initiative since he had been the clan leader for so many years.

Moreover, I've heard that this is a rare occurrence among his many exes.

Thinking of this, a thought struck him: 'It's probably something very important.'

Despite a thousand thoughts running through his mind, Li Xiuyuan replied simultaneously, "Ancestor Xuan, please speak."

"I wish to transcend and leave the Primordial Spirit Realm as soon as possible, therefore I need to settle many karmic debts, one of which is the karmic debt between heaven and earth..."

After a pause, Li Zhixuan continued, "Therefore, I want to conquer the Floating Light Realm discovered by my family and offer it to the Yuanling Realm to repay the karmic debt."

Li Xiuyuan was greatly shocked, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. After a moment of stunned silence, he said, "Ancestor Xuan, you have only recently broken through to the Celestial Immortal Realm. Shouldn't you cultivate for a while longer before considering transcending this matter?"

"For me, it would be a good thing to transcend this as soon as possible." She simply shook her head and didn't offer any further explanation.

Upon hearing this, he immediately shut up. What else was there to say?
Since the pros and cons have been weighed and this is better for her, we can only respect her decision.

However, regarding the matter of conquering the Floating Light Realm that she mentioned, Li Xiuyuan could not make the decision alone, so he said, "Ancestor Xuan, this matter is of great importance and needs to be discussed with the elders before I can give you an answer."

The main reason is not because it is to be contributed to the Yuanling Realm, and the family will lose a middle thousand world. After all, before doing this, the Li family needs to completely conquer the Fuguang Realm. The benefits and spiritual items that can be obtained from it should have been obtained by the family.

However, in the process of conquest, the family needs to invest a lot of clansmen and resources, which will inevitably cause a lot of casualties among the clansmen. It is impossible to let Li Zhixuan attack the Floating Light Realm alone, right?

"Well, it should be."

Li Zhixuan nodded to show her understanding, and before leaving, she added, "Remember to let me know as soon as you have an answer."

After she left, Li Xiuyuan immediately summoned all the elders to discuss the matter.

After recounting Li Zhixuan's decision and thoughts, he asked, "What are your thoughts on this matter? Do you agree with Ancestor Xuan's plan?"

“If Xuanzu can transcend, it will be a great thing for the family, and the family will have this kind of inheritance.” An elder immediately said.

"The problem is that if we want to conquer the Floating Light Realm as quickly as possible, it will inevitably lead to heavy casualties for our clan, with a large number of clansmen dying. How can we explain this to our clansmen? We can't just do it for our own selfish reasons..."

"Ahem!" Li Xiuyuan immediately coughed lightly, interrupting what he was about to say.

Regardless, Li Zhixuan is the patriarch of the family, and there are some things that cannot be said aloud.

“The family has always planned to conquer the Floating Light Realm, but not to offer it as a sacrifice to the Primordial Spirit Heavenly Dao. Instead, it was intended to be a family secret realm or grotto-heaven for cultivating and planting spiritual objects and beasts. Now, only the final outcome has changed, but the process remains the same. So I think there's nothing wrong with agreeing to Ancestor Xuan’s request,” another elder said.

The elder who had previously objected frowned and said, "How can this be the same? The family originally planned to take more than a thousand years to slowly occupy the Floating Light Realm, but is Ancestor Xuan willing to wait that long? If she is, then I have no objection."

The difference in casualties between hundreds and thousands of years would be enormous, so this elder would not agree to the plan to conquer the Floating Light Realm in a short period of time, no matter what!
If he weren't afraid of ruining things, he almost blurted out that they didn't care about the lives of their people!

However, faced with various pressures, he ultimately had no choice but to back down.

Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go ask Xuanzu for her opinion first. If she agrees, then we'll decide on this."

The elders acquiesced.

In a short while, he appeared in front of Li Zhixuan's cave. Just as he was about to look up and knock, he heard a voice from inside, "The door is open, come in."

creak-

The wooden door opened, and Li Xiuyuan saw the three people sitting in the pavilion: Li Zhirui, Li Zhixuan, and Li Mingyao. He immediately bowed and greeted them one by one, saying, "Greetings, Ancestor Rui, Ancestor Xuan, and Ancestor Yao."

She invited the other two not to exert pressure, but to ask them for help.

"No need to be polite."

Li Zhixuan reached out to support him and asked, "What was the result of your discussion?"

"If Ancestor Xuan is not in a hurry, the family is willing to assist in breaking through the Floating Light Realm around 1,500 years from now and offer it as a sacrifice to the Primordial Spirit Heavenly Dao."

"Fifteen hundred years?"

She frowned, which made Li Xiuyuan somewhat worried, wondering if she was very dissatisfied with the result.

But what he finally said surprised him greatly: "Fifteen hundred years is enough? I'm not in a particular hurry about this. It's fine to proceed according to the family's progress."

Li Zhixuan wasn't just saying this to be polite; it was what she truly felt.

She had just broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm and had a long lifespan, so there was no need for her to transcend so quickly. However, due to a series of coincidences, she embarked on a different path, forcing her to transcend first and then raise her cultivation to its limit.

This approach reverses the normal path of cultivation, but she had no other choice but to continue down this path.

His answer was completely different from what Li Xiuyuan and the elders had expected, so much so that he was a little stunned and did not respond immediately. Instead, he paused for a moment before saying, "More time is naturally better."

Since Li Zhixuan herself is not in a hurry, they can take over the Floating Light Realm in the way with the fewest casualties.

"Then I will go and discuss with the elders first, and come up with an effective solution as soon as possible."

He came in a hurry and left in a hurry; soon he was nowhere to be seen.

"Ninth Brother, Mingyao, we still need your help with this matter."

After Li Xiuyuan left, Li Zhirui, Li Zhixuan, and Li Mingyao continued their conversation.

It's nothing really, she just wanted the two of them to help her invade the Floating Light Realm, because the pressure would be too much for her if she were alone.

Moreover, the beings of the Floating Light Realm are not fools. When they realize that the world is facing the danger of destruction, they will definitely put aside their differences and join forces to fight against these invaders.

Although it is only a middle-thousand world, and the limit of the realm is only the perfect human immortal, the strength of these extraterrestrial beings who break into it will inevitably be greatly suppressed.

In this way, there is no obvious difference in strength between the two sides, and the beings of the Floating Light Realm are even stronger than them!
"I'm fine with that, but my main focus will be on staying at the base; I won't launch any attacks without proper preparation," Li Zhirui stated frankly. He also needed to cultivate and wanted to transcend the Yuanling Realm. If Li Zhixuan was only encountering minor troubles, he would be happy to lend a hand. However, invading a world would require an unknown amount of time and effort, so he naturally didn't want to be helping all the time.

Moreover, the situation he has agreed to is also for his own cultivation. Li Zhirui plans to comprehend the purification laws of the Floating Light Realm while overseeing the base, so as to further enhance the laws he has mastered.

As the saying goes, "The stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade!"
Although the Floating Light Realm is only a middle-thousand world and its laws cannot compare to those of the Great Thousand World, it still has its unique features, and this is the part that Li Zhirui wants to master.

“Xuan Zu, you know my situation. I can’t leave the Divine Realm for long, but if you need my help, I will definitely lend a hand!” Li Mingyao said, which was indeed in line with his status.

Hearing their answers, Li Zhixuan breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't need much help; this level of assistance was enough!
"That's enough. I'd like to thank Ninth Brother and Mingyao in advance."

"You're being too polite, there's no need to be so formal."

Li Zhirui waved his hand and said, "Then you can get ready first. We'll take our leave now. If you need anything, just send us a message talisman."

"it is good."

The two got up and left. Once outside the courtyard gate, Li Mingyao asked curiously via telepathy, "Rui Zu, after Xuan Zu sacrificed the Floating Light Realm, will she really be able to transcend?"

"Many forces in the Yuanling Realm have certainly tried, but no one has ever succeeded! There's no news or rumor about it."

He always felt that things weren't that simple.

After all, if this method were truly feasible, then the top powers of the immortal path must have tried it, but so far, no one has been said to have transcended it.

Hearing this, Li Zhirui remained silent for a while, then said, "Let's not mention this matter again. Even if it's not enough, Zhixuan will find another way."

It's too early to think about these things now. And if we encounter this situation and the karmic debt is still not settled after sacrificing a middle-thousand world, then we can consider other ideas.

However, Li Mingyao's use of powerful forces as examples and comparisons with Li Zhixuan to argue that the sacrificial secret method is ineffective is incorrect, as the conditions are not the same.

Those celestial beings are all long-established figures, having lived for countless years, expending immeasurable magical power, making it even more difficult for them to repay their karmic debts.

Li Zhixuan is young and has absorbed less spiritual energy, so it is possible that she could use the sacrifice to clear her karmic debts.

Li Zhirui and Li Mingyao also parted ways halfway and returned to their respective caves.

……

On the other side, after Li Xiuyuan returned to the family hall, he immediately relayed Li Zhixuan's words to everyone.

After that, no one raised any objections anymore.

Two thousand years is enough time for the family to take over the Floating Light Realm, and to do so with the least number of casualties among the family.

What they need to do now is to come up with a more efficient method with fewer casualties for the family to use next.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Deep within the starry sky, in the Yin-Yang Divine Realm...

“Brother, we received news from the family that Aunt Zhixuan has successfully broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm,” Li Chengshuo said.

They learned of this news many years later, naturally because both of them were in seclusion cultivating.

Oblivious to the world around them, the siblings were unaware of the developments and changes that had taken place over the past few centuries, and felt that the world had become somewhat unfamiliar.

In the past, they would go into seclusion for even longer periods, but when they emerged, they were able to adapt very quickly. This had never happened before, which was truly surprising and intriguing.

"Aunt Xuan? I never expected to hear news about her again, and it would be such a joyous occasion."

"Yes, but Aunt Xuan is really amazing. She succeeded all by herself."

An idea suddenly popped into Li Chengshuo's mind, and he said, "Brother, what do you think about us going back to the family for a visit?"

Firstly, they haven't been back for many years and don't know how their family is doing. After all, they haven't settled their karmic ties with their family.

Secondly, he also wanted to go back and exchange ideas with the celestial beings in his family, learning from each other.

“That’s fine. I haven’t been back for many years. It’s a good opportunity to find out how my parents are doing.” Li Chengsheng immediately agreed.

The two had nothing to pack up, so they transformed into streaks of light and descended from the sky, landing in the Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain in no time.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

But as soon as they returned, they saw their clansmen invading the Floating Light Realm.

The elder in charge of the matter turned around and saw that it was Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, who had not returned home for many years. He quickly greeted them and then explained what they were doing.

The more they listened, the more confused they became. What was going on with the talk of traveling through and conquering the world?

During the years they were in seclusion, how did the Yuanling Realm develop to this extent?

Although they had many doubts, they did not continue to question the elder, but instead asked him to continue training the tribesmen.

They then turned and headed towards Li Zhirui's cave. They were now eager to know what had happened in the Yuanling Realm, which had caused the entire world's development to take a turn.

Soon, the brother and sister arrived at Li Zhirui's cave. Since he was also preparing to enter the Floating Light Realm and was not in seclusion, he immediately met with the two of them.

"Father, what happened in the Yuanling Realm that caused such a drastic change?"

Li Zhirui began by recounting how he had accidentally captured two mortal cultivators who were traveling between worlds, but he didn't go into detail, so he quickly explained things to the two of them.

"Why does the clan organize its members to attack and conquer the Floating Light Realm? Wouldn't it be better to develop it slowly? That way, there would be fewer casualties."

"Because Zhixuan intends to offer the conquered Floating Light Realm to the Primordial Spirit Heavenly Dao in order to clear her karma and thus transcend herself."

"What!?"

Even the usually calm and composed Li Chengsheng couldn't help but widen his eyes upon hearing this answer. (End of Chapter)
