Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

As early as the beginning of the great calamity, Li Chengsheng had the idea of ​​personally experiencing the tribulation and clearing up his karma by killing demons and evil cultivators.

However, he was cautious and naturally wouldn't act without preparation. So he secretly arranged for a subordinate deity to descend to earth and kill a demon beast.

But the result was not as good as Li Chengsheng had imagined. After that god killed the demon beast, he did gain some merit, but the problem was that the cause and effect also surfaced!
Now, he had no choice but to stay on the earth and fight monsters to resolve the extra karma he had accumulated.

This result completely thwarted Li Chengsheng's plans, extinguishing his idea of ​​undergoing the next tribulation.

Now that Li Chengshuo asked, he naturally told him everything in detail.

After hearing this, she felt discouraged and disappointed. It was such a good opportunity to resolve the cause and effect, but they couldn't use it. It was a real pity.

They could only stay obediently in the divine realm, using the old methods to slowly accumulate merit and try their best to avoid incurring further karmic debts to heaven and earth.

"God Lord!"

Just then, a subordinate deity rushed over to report, saying, "About an hour ago, three powerful celestial beings perished one after another!"

"Moreover, according to news from the front lines, there are several other battlefields where there are signs of life and death, victory and defeat."

"So fast?!"

Li Chengsheng was slightly surprised. He thought that these celestial beings would have to fight for a while longer before a winner could be determined, but only ten days had passed.

But after thinking about it for a moment, he understood why this was the case, and he couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that both sides are going all out, hoping to end the battle as soon as possible!"

Otherwise, with the immense strength of the Celestial Immortal Realm, they could have held out for a while.

However, these matters ultimately have nothing to do with Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, and they cannot get involved themselves.

After expressing their feelings, they each returned to their caves and went into seclusion.

When the world is filled with the aura of calamity and evil, it is naturally not suitable for cultivation or comprehending the laws, because one should avoid inhaling the aura of calamity and evil.

So what they are doing now is actually accelerating the conversion of chaotic spiritual energy by the two main stars, the Sun and the Moon.

As for the even more effective Star Birth Secret Technique, it was impossible to use it because all the Star Cores in my possession had been used up.

This is the only way to pass the time; every bit of merit gained is a small contribution.

……

Deep in the starry sky, in some unknown region.

Li Zhixuan is fighting desperately against a water demon from the Celestial Realm!

Perhaps her luck had been depleted by her previous encounter with the arrogant and conceited demonic cultivator Han Tong, because this opponent she faced this time was far from easy to deal with.

It goes without saying that its strong physical defense and powerful magic are typical characteristics of most sea creatures, but what troubles Li Zhixuan the most is its overly cautious mentality!

It was like having an indestructible tortoise shell on her back, which made her feel very troubled. She tried many methods but failed to break it.

"Damn it!"

Enraged, Li Zhixuan shouted, "If you're so capable, don't hide! Fight me properly and settle the score!"

"You are a powerful swordsman, do you think I would use my weakness against your strength? Do you think I'm a fool?" The water demon curled her lip, not falling for it at all.

"I don't believe you can keep blocking forever!"

After saying that, Li Zhixuan raised the broken sword in her hand and charged forward angrily.

"Die!"

She seems to have been driven to the brink of irrationality, and is now trying to break the deadlock with her own strength.

A glint of triumph flashed in the water demon's eyes. This was his usual method of fighting: using his own indestructible defense to constantly deplete his opponent's magic power and mental strength, wearing them down until he finally found an opportunity to strike and kill them!

So even when faced with Li Zhixuan, who seemed to have lost control, he did not rush to take action and maintained a cautious attitude.

He also suspected that the other party was pretending to lure him in, so he did not intend to confront them head-on and maintained a defensive posture.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan felt genuinely anxious.

That was indeed her disguise, an attempt to lure the other party into a trap. Of course, she also knew that the other party wouldn't believe her right away.

It's like the two sides are having a test of patience, seeing who gives up first, and then the other side is likely to win!
Therefore, Li Zhixuan could only force herself to remain calm inside, and on the surface, she maintained an anxious and angry demeanor. But as time went on, she would inevitably reveal one or two flaws without showing any emotion.

This method made her feel very frustrated and uncomfortable, especially since the water demon would occasionally seize an opening and cause her considerable damage, but would not continue to attack to expand her advantage.

It seems they wanted to use this method to slowly deplete her energy and spirit, and then make a move to decide the outcome when her strength had truly decreased to a certain level or her injuries were quite serious!
In order to capture this water demon, Li Zhixuan was ruthless enough to inflict serious injuries on herself, leaving her covered in blood and looking terrifying. She then began to pretend to retreat.

Her retreat at this moment would not arouse suspicion, but would instead make the other side more convinced that she was seriously injured and was leaving to save her life, but would force the other side to launch an attack.

If we don't act now, Li Zhixuan might really get away! What if something really happens?

As for why the situation was different here and the method changed, no matter what, if he could let Li Zhixuan escape, he would have failed to live up to his strength.

So when he saw Li Zhixuan retreating, he didn't hesitate any longer. Fearing that she might escape in the next moment, he immediately rushed out.

But he never imagined that someone would be so ruthless to him, actually putting himself in serious injury in order to lure others into a trap.

But just as the water demon lowered its guard, sword energies slashed out from Li Zhixuan's hand. Moreover, since he had already broken free of his defenses, there was no time to hide back in.

"Humph!"

Seeing that he couldn't dodge it, he had no choice but to use a technique to block the sword energy.

But how could Li Zhixuan's attack, launched despite her serious injuries, be so easily blocked?

The water demon, which had been unharmed until now, has quickly developed several serious injuries.

He was shocked to discover that the wound was not healing and was instead absorbing the malevolent energy of heaven and earth, widening the scar! "Damn it! What's going on! What kind of strange method is this!" the water demon shouted in shock.

It looks strange, but it's actually just incorporating malevolent energy into sword energy.

Of course, not everyone can do this. If you are not careful and cannot control the evil energy, it may enter your body and harm you instead.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, the entry of evil energy into the body is not a big deal. At most, it will just cause some trouble. As long as it is suppressed, it is fine to find a way to deal with it later.

But now, a great calamity has broken out, and the calamity energy in the world is so strong that the evil energy at his wounds is attracting the surrounding evil energy to surge in.

Now, instead of healing, his wound is getting bigger and bigger.

Terrified, the water demon dared not fight Li Zhixuan any longer and tried to use defensive techniques to fight and retreat in order to save its own life.

But Li Zhixuan has paid such a high price, how could she let him off so easily?!
Despite his severe injuries, he launched a frenzied attack, blocking the water demon's retreat and forcing him to engage her in battle.

The water demon was not without temper. Although he was better at defense, he was still a celestial being with considerable strength.

Given their current state, if they were to fight each other to the death, it's really hard to say who would win.

His idea wasn't wrong, but he underestimated one thing—that is, the various side effects brought about by the entry of evil energy into the body!

First, a large amount of malevolent energy accumulated in his body, blocking his meridians and greatly affecting the circulation of spiritual energy; second, the malevolent energy began to affect his mind and will, making it impossible for him to concentrate on the battle.

It is important to understand that in a battle at the Celestial Immortal level, everyone must exert all their strength in order to have a chance to defeat the opponent and achieve victory. Seizing the opportunity in battle is of paramount importance!
The water demon's mind was affected by the evil energy, which severely reduced its abilities in this area!
Li Zhixuan's condition was not good either, but she only had simple superficial injuries, which were suppressed after taking the medicine.

With her strong willpower, pain would not affect her combat strength at all.

Therefore, in the end, Li Zhixuan, despite being severely injured, successfully killed the water demon!
This time, she gained a great deal of merit.

But the price paid was heavy; these injuries would take hundreds of years to heal!
Fortunately, the various celestial battlefields were far apart, and the situation on their side was temporarily unknown to others, giving Li Zhixuan a chance to hide.

Otherwise, given her current injuries, let alone a celestial being, even a few loose immortals could kill her!
Of course, this is on the premise that they can withstand the last life-saving sword energy left by Li Zhixuan.

……

Li Zhirui was unaware of Li Zhixuan's situation, but he was quite worried about her safety.

Based on his understanding of her, he could easily guess that even if she resolved her own karma, she would not leave the war so quickly and would inevitably seek out an opponent to fight again!
However, after a series of major battles in a short period of time, although her condition seems to have recovered, there are definitely still some minor problems.

They have little impact in the short term, as if they don't exist, but once they accumulate too much, they will suddenly erupt and affect Li Zhixuan's condition.

Normal times would be fine, but if it broke out during a major battle, she would have to find a way to escape!
As for Li Zhirui himself, after this period of attrition and at the cost of accumulating a great deal of merit, he finally managed to resolve all his karmic debts!

The moment the cause and effect dissipated, he felt much lighter, as if he had put down the heavy burden he had been carrying.

"I wonder how the clansmen are doing during this time?"

Having been in seclusion for several months, he had no time to check on the news from the outside world.

Only now have I had the time to collect all the jade slips placed outside the door, and then I'll start by looking at the newest one.

That was the Southern Region that the immortal forces on the coast of the East Sea had rushed to. Because of the sudden arrival of such a large group of cultivators, the demon race could not withstand such great pressure and had no choice but to retreat.

In any case, most of the monsters' troubles have been resolved after numerous battles, so retreating now is fine.

Only a group of humans remained, gritting their teeth and filled with rage.

Not to mention the cultivators who arrived last, many of the human cultivators had not yet resolved their karmic ties, so after seeing the demon race withdraw from the battlefield, they had to come up with a new way to solve this problem!

Afterwards, Li Zhirui looked through each jade slip one by one, quickly gaining a more complete and comprehensive understanding of the situation of the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth.

"If things continue at this pace, it probably won't be long before it ends!" This was his first thought after reading the jade slip.

The second reason is that the clan members have gradually resolved their karmic debts, but the family still owes a lot of karmic debts. After all, the karmic debts of those clan members who are not yet adults have been transferred to the family.

After thinking for a moment, Li Zhirui sent a message talisman to the clan leader, Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan was dealing with family affairs at the time, so when he saw the communication talisman flying over, he didn't look at it carefully and just activated it casually, until a familiar voice came from inside.

"Rui Zu has emerged from seclusion?"

But after hearing the message, he no longer cared about any of that.

If Li Zhirui's guess is true, the great calamity is about to end, but the family still carries a lot of karma.

If this isn't dealt with in time, the family will face countless problems and troubles in the future, let alone its development. That's why they lost their composure.

They immediately summoned all the elders and began discussing how to resolve the family's karmic entanglements.

"If it is true, as Ruizu guessed, that there is not much time left, it is too late to resolve the cause and effect by killing the water demon in the East Sea."

There were already few water demons left in the East Sea, and after being plundered by forces such as the Dongyuan Sect, and with the Li family searching for water demons in the East Sea since the beginning of the great calamity.

Now that so much time has passed, the water monsters are naturally becoming fewer and fewer, and they are hiding deeper and deeper.

The elder continued, "The only way now is to kill the demonic beasts in the mountain ranges controlled by the family!"

No one objected to this, and they all thought it was indeed a good idea; no one spoke up against it.

Only one elder said, "When clearing the monsters in the mountains, do not attack the pregnant monsters that have not yet grown up. After all, after the great calamity, the clan will still need these mountains for its members to train."

"Ah."

Li Xiuyuan immediately accepted the proposal, and then asked, "Who do you all think should be appointed as the commander of the army?"

"Li Xiuting!"

An elder recounted in detail his outstanding performance during the great calamity, praising him highly. (End of Chapter)
