Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

In reality, these rules are just meant to fool them, to keep them from having any doubts, to make them stay put and not cause any trouble.

The demonic beasts and demonic cultivators were indeed reassured by the numerous rules, and even felt that becoming servants of extraterrestrial beings was not necessarily a bad thing.

At most, it only requires some time to work, but those high-level demons can completely exploit their subordinates to help them, and they can still maintain their previous lifestyle.

……

As the group that followed Li Zhixuan back to their base saw a figure suddenly fly out from the previously empty place.

"Ninth brother."

This is Li Zhirui, who is hiding here to protect the spatial anchor point.

"Is the great battle over?" He guessed the final outcome of the battle when he saw everyone return.

The number of people was actually more than he had expected.

"Yes, after paying a considerable price, we defeated the elite army of local creatures, and the rest surrendered directly." Li Zhixuan gave a very simple account of the war.

Hearing this, Li Zhirui raised an eyebrow, but in front of so many people, he didn't say much. He just nodded and said, "That's fine. It's just that you've returned a little early. There's still some time before the three-month deadline I set."

"It's only a few days left, so I'll just stay around here."

Afterwards, everyone dispersed, some choosing to build temporary cave dwellings, while others simply chose a spot to sit cross-legged.

Even the rogue cultivators stayed put and dared not act rashly.

First, they had experienced many major battles, and even after a period of rest, they were still exhausted and unwilling to do anything more.

Secondly, the trip was very fruitful, and the storage magic treasure was already full of valuable spiritual items, leaving no extra space.

Thirdly, they don't know when the spatial rift will open. If they miss this opportunity to return to the Yuanling Realm because they are greedy for small gains, it would be a case of losing more than they gain.

The waiting time passed uneventfully; nothing happened, and it simply flew by.

When his clansmen in the Yuanling Realm used the World Travel Technique, Li Zhirui did not interrupt them, but allowed it to open a passage in mid-air.

"You can go back."

Unlike when they came in, the first to leave were not members of the Li family, but those rogue cultivators. It wasn't to guard against anything, since there were also a large number of Li family members on the other side, unless they planned to stay in the Floating Light Realm.

However, even if they choose to stay, with their strength, they have no chance of becoming kings and rulers. On the contrary, they are very likely to be killed by the creatures of this world.

The main purpose of this was to leave Li Zhirui, Li Zhixuan, and a few clansmen who knew the inside story until the end.

Li Zhirui and the others could not only help Li Zhixuan set up the sacrificial array, but also observe how much merit could be gained and how much karma could be resolved by sacrificing such a world.

About half an hour later, all the rogue cultivators and clansmen left the Floating Light Realm, leaving only the five of them behind.

"let's start."

As he spoke, Li Zhirui took out various spiritual items from his storage magic treasure to set up the sacrificial array.

These spiritual objects were brought into the Floating Light Realm from the beginning, and because he was stationed in the rear and possessed great strength, they were naturally placed in his hands for safekeeping.

The sacrificial array, while seemingly sophisticated, powerful, and mysterious, is actually just a modified version of the guiding array.

And its sole function is to guide the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Spirit Realm to descend upon this realm, and then, with its own immense power, suppress the Heavenly Dao of this realm, and then absorb the world's origin, the power of laws, and so on.

So it wasn't long before the sacrificial array was successfully set up.

As Li Zhixuan ascended the array platform and activated the formation, using her own power to guide the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Spirit Realm, this world seemed to realize the immense danger!

The sky instantly darkened, with countless dark clouds rolling in. In the blink of an eye, a terrifying divine punishment was formed, with thick bolts of lightning churning and swirling within, about to roar out.

But at that moment, she successfully communicated with the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Spirit Realm!

An even more mysterious and powerful force forcefully pierced into the Floating Light Realm, instantly crushing most of the Heavenly Punishment.

Li Zhirui, who was looking up at the sky to observe the changes, suddenly had his pupils dilate.

The Heavenly Dao of the Yuanling Realm is so powerful that it has seized considerable control over this realm from the Heavenly Dao of this realm upon its very first appearance!
"Rui Zu, our strength is rapidly recovering!" a clansman exclaimed.

Li Zhirui naturally had the same feeling, and even knew it earlier than they did.

He is now pondering another question: Is it because the Heavenly Dao of the Yuanling Realm is too powerful, or because the Floating Light Realm lost its world origin and its Heavenly Dao was damaged due to their attack, or perhaps both, that has led to this situation!
But soon, he no longer cared about these.

"I never expected such an opportunity! Quickly! Calm your mind and comprehend the laws that were revealed during the great battle between the two realms! But remember not to get too caught up in it, lest your soul be destroyed."

After giving some advice to his clansmen, Li Zhirui put aside all distractions and focused all his attention on comprehending the revealed purification laws.

This turn of events was unexpected by everyone. After all, the Li family had never performed a world sacrifice before, and this was their first attempt.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have let the tribesmen leave, and I would have even gathered more tribesmen to come.

Unfortunately, their lack of experience on their first attempt caused them to miss an opportunity.

Li Zhirui devoted himself to comprehending the Purification Law, hoping to take this opportunity to improve his understanding and mastery of it.

The other members of the tribe were also focused, unwilling to miss this opportunity.

However, the manifestation of the law ended not long afterward!

Because the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Spirit Realm has already 'defeated' the Heavenly Dao of this Realm and is now absorbing its power, it naturally calmed down gradually.

Li Zhirui opened his eyes when the law completely dissipated, his face full of regret. It hadn't even lasted a quarter of an hour; if only it could have lasted longer.

Unfortunately, his idea cannot be realized in the short term.

As the Heavenly Dao of this realm collapsed, the origin of the world was absorbed by the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Spirit Realm, and the entire world began to collapse.

Various black holes and cracks appeared in the sky, from which countless black mists billowed out. At the same time, the earth shook violently, mountains collapsed, and boulders rolled down.

The whole world looked like it was the end of the world, with scenes everywhere of impending destruction and the collapse of heaven and earth.

……

From the moment the sacrificial array was activated, the demonic beasts and demonic cultivators who had already scattered throughout the Floating Light Realm were immediately plunged into fear and unease in the face of all sorts of apocalyptic scenes.

"What's going on? Why has such a huge change suddenly occurred in the world?"

Some people were still confused, but others immediately realized what was going on and roared through gritted teeth, "Damn intruders! They never had good intentions from the start!"

I originally thought they just wanted to colonize this world to cultivate spiritual creatures, or to become pawns of the Li family in the future great war.

To everyone's surprise, they had no such intention at all; instead, they were planning to sacrifice the entire world!

"If only we had fought them back then, instead of believing their nonsense about surrendering!" Even if the chances of winning were slim, at least there would have been a chance, instead of the current situation where they have no chance to fight back at all.

Many demonic beasts and demonic cultivators were filled with regret, but unfortunately, it was too late now, no matter how much they regretted it or how unwilling they were to accept it.

They can't stop the world from being destroyed; they can only die along with it!
boom--

Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted from the Floating Light Realm, echoing throughout the entire world. All living beings felt a sudden emptiness in their hearts, as if they had lost something extremely important to them.

Some creatures raised their hands and touched their cheeks, which were covered not only with tears of regret but also with raindrops that had fallen from the sky at some unknown time.

Unlike rain, which normally nourishes all things, it had no such effect whatsoever; instead, it hastened the destruction of the world.

the other side.

"time to go!"

Li Zhirui looked at the increasingly unstable spatial rift and spoke.

The Floating Light Realm is about to be destroyed. All useful resources will be devoured and absorbed by the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Spirit Realm. The spatial channels are also becoming unstable. If we don't leave now, we can only rush into the void, cross an unknown distance of void, and spend a lot of time to return to the Primordial Spirit Realm.

"it is good."

Li Zhixuan regained her composure and transformed into a sword light, instantly disappearing into the spatial rift.

Previously, Li Zhirui had already sent the other clansmen back home.

He was the last to enter the spatial rift, because not long after, the rift exploded, slightly accelerating the destruction of the Floating Light Realm.

But in some corner, a group of beings from the Elemental Realm were wailing in terror.

"No! I am not a being of this realm! I come from the Primordial Spirit Realm!"

The group of independent cultivators who hadn't returned earlier had all gathered here; it was unclear what their initial plans were.

However, no matter what strategies they have, they are useless now.

As time went by, the Floating Light Realm, which had been filled with wails and roars, gradually quieted down, because all the creatures were soaked.

In the end, the entire Floating Light Realm became an empty shell.

Having absorbed the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Spirit Realm from a Middle Thousand World, it was naturally very pleased. After returning to its place with those powers, it quickly began to digest them.

"Ok?"

Almost instantly, all the celestial beings in the world keenly perceived the changes in the Heavenly Dao.

"How did the Heavenly Dao suddenly become so powerful?" Many celestial beings were completely baffled and couldn't understand what was going on.

As the Heavenly Dao grew stronger, the world began to slowly change.

As the mastermind behind all of this, the Li family naturally wouldn't spread rumors that this change was due to their own efforts, causing the Yuanling Realm to devour a middle-thousand world.

Of course, this matter couldn't be kept secret for long.

After all, the Li family's previous large-scale recruitment of rogue cultivators to go to the outer world had caused quite a stir, and so many of them had returned; a little inquiry would reveal the truth.

at the same time.

Wanshan Mountain.

"Rui Zu, Xuan Zu, you're finally back." Li Xiuyuan said with emotion as he saw the two of them.

"what happened?"

The two were confused and thought something bad had happened to their family during this period, so they looked at him with questioning eyes.

"It's nothing. I was just a little uneasy because I hadn't seen the two elders. Now that I've seen them, I feel much better."

Li Zhirui and Li Zhixuan were speechless upon hearing this.

He then asked, "Have you taken stock of all the gains made by the clansmen who returned to the family earlier?"

"Due to the sheer size of the quantity, the inventory has not yet been completed."

After all, those clansmen had only returned half an hour earlier than them, which was still too short a time. In addition, the number of spiritual items, techniques, and other things they had obtained was simply too great to be accomplished in a short period of time.

The elders in charge of this matter couldn't help but sigh when they saw the mountain of spiritual objects piled up haphazardly, but in the end they still had to arrange for their clansmen to help with the inventory.

……

As the greatest contributor to the capture of the Floating Light Realm, Li Zhixuan finally returned to the Yuanling Realm. The Heavenly Dao also realized this and immediately distributed the merits to everyone according to their individual contributions.

Suddenly, a dazzling and enormous golden cloud of merit appeared in the sky above Mount Wanxian, but in the next instant, it shot out beams of golden light of merit in all directions.

These golden rays of merit went to find their masters; some fell directly into the bodies of their clansmen below, while others flew away into the distance.

Li Zhirui also received some merit, but it wasn't much; it was better than nothing.

The originally enormous golden cloud of merit was shrunk considerably after this ordeal, and eventually all of it fell into Li Zhixuan's body.

"Ancestor Xuan, you sacrificed a middle-thousand world this time. I wonder how much merit you gained? How much karma can you repay?" Li Xiuyuan asked with some curiosity as he watched the merit points fall.

The karmic debt owed to Heaven and Earth cannot be repaid directly; a conversion process is required, which is offset by accumulating merit.

She wanted to know if sacrificing a middle-thousand-world entity could repay all the karmic debts she owed to heaven and earth, thus allowing her to transcend directly.

Li Zhixuan shook her head regretfully and said, "It's not enough."

"What?! One Middle Thousand World isn't enough?"

“That’s not what I meant. What I mean is that the merit I’ve gained this time is not enough for me to completely settle my karmic debts.”

Li Zhixuan explained, "The conquest of the Floating Light Realm was largely thanks to the help of my clansmen and independent cultivators, but as a result, the merits were distributed in countless parts, and I did not receive them alone."

Li Zhirui had already guessed this would be the outcome.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, such a vast world could not be conquered by Li Zhixuan alone; she would inevitably need the help of others.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "How much karma can be resolved?"

"It's about 70%."

Li Zhixuan only received 60% of the merit.

In other words, if she could accumulate more merit, she could directly transcend the Yuanling Realm, instead of having to find another way as she is now. (End of Chapter)
