Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Li Zhirui did not underestimate this secret technique because it originated from a certain rogue immortal beast. On the contrary, he devoted a lot of energy to deducing and perfecting it.

The core and most unique aspect of this secret technique lies in its ability to utilize various spiritual objects and transform them into magical energy that can enhance one's bloodline.

Of course, this transformation process is quite costly, so the best approach is to choose a spiritual object that resonates with one's bloodline.

Li Zhirui's current main research direction is to improve conversion efficiency and reduce the waste of spiritual objects.

Furthermore, although the Chaos God-Demon Body is a special bloodline, it is still somewhat different from the bloodline of ordinary demon races. Therefore, after thinking about it, he finally decided to modify it so that the method would directly affect the body.

Although this would consume more of his energy and time, Li Zhirui still decided to do it for better results.

……

Time flies, and more than two hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

After numerous deductions and trials, Li Zhirui successfully perfected the secret technique, minimizing waste, increasing absorption efficiency, and making it directly usable for perfecting the Chaos God-Demon Body!

The advantage of doing this is that it reduces his own consumption, since he has chosen the path of turning everything of himself into firewood to refine the Chaos Dao Embryo.

If spiritual objects are used as substitutes, as long as there are enough spiritual objects, the consumption of one's own energy will be greatly reduced. At that time, one can preserve a part of one's strength and will no longer be a weak, newly born chaotic god or demon.

Li Zhirui was very satisfied with the progress he had made, after all, each improvement was the result of accumulating little by little.

On the other hand, after more than two hundred years of recuperation and healing, Li Zhixuan not only recovered her strength but even showed signs of improvement, which was an unexpected surprise.

After she emerged from seclusion, she planned that if her family was alright, she would prepare some pills and then head directly to the void to train and find a way to perfect her Chaos Dao Body.

As for the part of the karma that she couldn't repay, she was hoping to find a solution in the void.

For example, if one obtains a precious and special chaotic spiritual object, offering it to the Heavenly Dao will also bring merit.

If it contributes to the development of the world, then the merit gained is even greater.

Having made up her mind, Li Zhixuan set off for the family treasury to exchange for a batch of pills.

She didn't go to Li Zhirui again, but instead exchanged all the pills in the storeroom. She figured that should be enough, so she planned to leave the family and head to the void.

boom!
But just as she was about to set off, a loud bang suddenly erupted in the world.

"What happened?"

Almost all living beings looked up at the sky at the same time and asked the same question in unison.

Then, they witnessed a horrifying scene!
The once clear sky suddenly turned into a mixture of blood and black, as if covered by an extra layer of gauze, looking terrifying and horrifying, even like a scene from the apocalypse.

"What's going on?!" Some creatures were so shocked by this scene that they were completely disoriented, frozen in place as if they had been immobilized.

Some beings also realized what was happening and exclaimed in shock, "Impossible! How could the great calamity of heaven and earth erupt again here?!"

"A cataclysmic event!"

Hearing the commotion, Li Zhirui came out of the cave and, sensing the sudden surge of malevolent energy and calamity in the world, slowly uttered these four words.

His serious expression easily revealed shock and solemnity.

"Ninth Brother! Why did the great calamity suddenly erupt?"

Li Zhixuan rushed over at this moment, her usual indifferent expression now replaced by anxiety and shock.

It is important to understand that a great calamity may only occur once every ten thousand or even tens of thousands of years. This is because the world has accumulated too much evil and filth, which has affected the world's development.

At this time, the Heavenly Dao will initiate a great calamity, taking this opportunity to cleanse and eliminate some of the evil and filth, thus reducing its own burden.

However, it has been less than 10,000 years since the last great calamity ended!

Over the years, Li Zhirui alone has purified a sea eye, an immortal volcano, and the evil and filth in the Earth's core.

Not to mention the development of world travel techniques, which led to the conquest of numerous extraterrestrial worlds, turning them into vassals of the Yuanling Realm.

Although they don't directly sacrifice worlds like the Floating Light Realm to elevate the world's grade and increase its origin, the existence of these vassal worlds should still alleviate a lot of pressure on the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Therefore, in principle, the great calamity of heaven and earth should not only not break out at this time, but should also be delayed for a long time!
So is there some unknown secret behind this?
Faced with Li Zhixuan's question, Li Zhirui was equally puzzled and could not give a reasonable explanation.

Before long, Clan Chief Li Xiuyuan arrived in a panic with a group of elders, asking, "Two Ancestors, how could a great calamity suddenly erupt?"

“We don’t know either.” Li Zhirui shook his head, and his tightly furrowed brows revealed his inner turmoil.

"How should the family deal with this situation?"

Li Xiuyuan is now grateful that, fortunately, when the great calamity broke out, his family had already sacrificed the Floating Light Realm, and more than two hundred years have passed, and most of his family members have recovered.

If the outbreak had occurred more than a hundred years earlier, the family would have been in a very dangerous situation. A slight misstep could have resulted in heavy losses, or even led to its downfall!

"The only way to safely weather this calamity is to settle one's own karma," Li Zhirui said slowly.

He can no longer help his people resolve their karma on his own, as he did last time, because the karma he himself bears is a very heavy burden, and he no longer has the strength to help too many people.

Not only him, but also Li Zhixuan, Li Mingyao and others were in the same situation, so the clansmen could only solve the problem on their own.

As for the way to resolve karmic debts, the easiest and simplest, yet also the most difficult, method is to directly consume merit to offset them!
Another way is to return the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. One can do what Asan and Amu did and use methods to transform chaotic spiritual energy. However, this has a high threshold and very few people can do it.

Therefore, the vast majority of living beings generally adopt another method: fighting!

By killing living beings, their cultivation and magical power are returned to heaven and earth.

This is why all living beings are extremely fearful and uneasy when the great calamity breaks out.

Even celestial beings like Li Zhirui and Li Zhixuan cannot remain calm, because they also face the risk of perishing, only their probability is relatively small.

Perhaps only the gods who maintain the order of heaven and earth would not care about these things.

Because they will not be affected by the great calamity!
There's nothing they can do; after all, they are the chosen ones of heaven and earth, the darlings of the heavens, the guardians of the order of heaven and earth, and even deities who can influence the laws of nature. However, if they voluntarily step into the great calamity, then they can only experience it once, and whether they live or die depends on their own destiny.

……

Upon hearing this answer, Li Xiuyuan's expression became even more solemn. He knew that in this great calamity, the ancestors such as Ruizu could not offer much help, and the clansmen could only rely on their own strength.

I just don't know how much the family will lose after this great calamity.

With a multitude of conflicting thoughts in mind, he took his leave with the elders, wanting to think carefully about how to minimize casualties among his people and the losses to his clan!
"Ninth Brother, I plan to go to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield to find an opportunity to settle my karmic debts." After they left, Li Zhixuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, choosing the most dangerous area.

The battlefield under the great calamity will be even more dangerous than before.

If it were anyone else, Li Zhirui might have some concerns, but since it was Li Zhixuan, he felt much more at ease.

With her current strength, she might not be invincible, but she is still a very powerful figure. If she wanted to escape, there's a high probability that no one could stop her.

Before leaving, she asked curiously, "Ninth Brother, where do you plan to settle your karmic debts?"

"I will stay in the clan's territory. The Dongyuan Sect, the Sea Clan, and the Wanling Alliance may all send people to attack the clan."

Although Li Mingyao is usually the one in charge of the family, it's best for him not to get involved since this is a major calamity.

As for the sea creatures, didn't they swear an oath never to invade the Li family's Myriad Spirits Sea Domain? Why does Li Zhirui still need to be wary of them?

Because of the interference and influence of the calamity energy, these Dao oaths have temporarily lost their restraining power!
In other words, during a great calamity, it is permissible to violate one's vows.

Moreover, the oath the sea race swore was to never invade the Myriad Spirits Sea, which did not include the Li family's territory on land!

"Well... maybe I should stay in the family too," Li Zhixuan said hesitantly after hearing his suggestion.

"No need, you can go to the battlefield between immortals and demons yourself."

Li Zhirui said, "What if none of them come? Wouldn't you miss the chance to settle your karmic debts?"

"And what about you, Ninth Brother?"

"I can choose to use the method of consuming merit points."

Over the years, he has purified important and crucial areas everywhere, and the merits he has accumulated are not much less than those of Li Zhixuan after he sacrificed himself to the Floating Light Realm.

Moreover, his method of transcendence does not require consuming too much merit, so Li Zhirui has the confidence to do so.

But others cannot imitate it.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhixuan said nothing more. Since there was nothing she could do to help, she decided to minimize the trouble.

"Ninth Brother, please take care. I'm going now."

Having said that, he transformed into a beam of sword light and vanished instantly.

……

At this moment, the malevolent energy and calamity energy in the world had risen to an extremely exaggerated level, and the entire world was covered with a black and red color!
Some beings with weak wills gradually lose their minds as the evil energy enters their bodies. If they do not regain their senses in time, they will eventually become monsters controlled by the evil energy, only knowing how to kill.

This situation is common among demonic beasts, demonic cultivators, and low-level cultivators, because most of them do not cultivate their Dao heart, or do not have the time or need to cultivate their Dao heart.

Fortunately, within the Shanhai Prefecture, regardless of cultivation level or background, no cultivator has experienced the invasion of the Calamity Qi into their body.

The reason is quite simple: the Li family is cultivating purification white lotus on a large scale on their own land!
This was not a mandatory requirement from the family, but rather a spontaneous act by the clansmen, because the Purifying White Lotus is a spiritual object that is valuable in its entirety. It is not only relatively easy to cultivate, but it was also created by their ancestor.

Moreover, just by planting it, while it is still growing, it will purify the surrounding environment, including making the spiritual energy fresher and cleaner, which has a slight benefit to cultivation.

But unexpectedly, when the great calamity of heaven and earth broke out, it still had this effect.

At first, the cultivators of Shanhaizhou did not notice this and thought it was a normal phenomenon. However, as time went by, many creatures controlled by the calamity energy broke in one after another, and they realized that the outside world had become so dangerous!
At this moment, they couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Fortunately, they were in Shanhaizhou, and not somewhere else, thus avoiding becoming such monsters.

However, it seems that unless they are only focused on surviving, staying in Shanhai Prefecture will not resolve their karmic entanglements!
So they will eventually have to leave this safe place and go to other areas.

Some cultivators also believed that Shanhaizhou would not remain peaceful forever and would definitely be invaded by other forces, since there were some who could not stand to see others prosper.

"Rui Zu, why don't we take this opportunity to clean up all those undercover agents and spies?"

After discussing and arranging various countermeasures with one of the elders, Li Xiuyuan suddenly thought of this matter.

Li Zhirui shook his head and said, "These people cannot be completely eradicated unless the forces behind them fall. Otherwise, even if we deal with them, they will send another group of people to infiltrate after the great calamity is over."

Since that's the case, it's better to leave it as it is.

After all, the family has already discovered these undercover agents and spies, and can completely control the information they can find out and pass on.

However, if a new group of people is brought in, the Li family will not be familiar with them, and some important information might be leaked out, which would be a loss.

Li Xiuyuan hadn't thought about these things before, but after being reminded, he didn't bring them up again.

"How many clansmen are still staying in Shanhai Prefecture?" Li Zhirui suddenly asked.

The plan devised by the clan chief and elders was for the clan members to form teams and travel to the East Sea or the Northern Region to settle their own karma by killing the creatures in those two places.

Moreover, because the distance is close enough, it is possible to take turns continuously, so as to take care of every member of the tribe as much as possible.

Another point is that clansmen who are not yet eighteen years old, or who have not broken through to the Golden Core stage, are not allowed to participate in the combat team because they are not mature enough and their strength is weak.

This is the family's protection for them!

As for the karma they bear, that is to be borne and resolved by their families.

Fortunately, because of his low cultivation level, he hadn't accumulated much karma. (End of Chapter)
