Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

In other words, even if Jiang Fengwu deduced such a formation to suppress inner demons, it would actually be very difficult to set it up, since apart from some special spiritual objects, only one's natal magic treasure can enter the sea of ​​consciousness.

However, that was only true for others; it posed no obstacle to her personally, because she could use her natal magic treasure, the Myriad Array Diagram, to inscribe array patterns on it and thus set up an array.

"Damn it!"

So as soon as the inner demon appeared, before anything could be done, it was directly suppressed by the formation, and then the formation was activated to refine the inner demon.

In a short while, the inner demon was burned to ashes by the purifying spiritual fire, posing no threat to Jiang Fengwu whatsoever.

At the same time, the rolling tribulation clouds outside also changed, transforming into pure spiritual energy that entered her body and boosted her cultivation.

Not long after, a terrifying and horrifying pressure erupted from Jiang Fengwu's body.

This also means that she has successfully broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm.

From then on, the Li family gained another celestial being.

The tribespeople were naturally thrilled and shouted excitedly, their voices like a giant wave, sweeping far into the distance.

"Thank you all for protecting me." Jiang Fengwu bowed slightly to Li Zhirui and the other clansmen before turning back to his cave, not only to consolidate his cultivation but also to heal his internal injuries.

Although she did not directly confront the tribulation lightning or suffer its attack, she still caused considerable damage to her meridians by recklessly mobilizing her internal magical power in order to resist it.

Li Zhirui didn't linger and disappeared instantly.

But Daqing, Xiaoqing, and Xiaocang exchanged a glance, and instead of returning to their respective caves, they went to see Li Zhirui.

The other tribespeople also left with excitement and joy.

Similarly, those spies who were observing from afar outside the Li family's territory relayed the news back to their own forces as quickly as possible.

"Ninth Brother, the power of the lightning tribulation is getting stronger and stronger!"

Not only Li Zhirui, but they also discovered this very serious and important matter.

Logically speaking, the better the world develops, the more advanced beings there will be, since the world's carrying capacity increases and its upper limit also increases.

However, this doesn't work in the Yuanling Realm. Not only that, the Heavenly Dao has even increased the lightning tribulation, making it more difficult for living beings to break through, which is completely contrary to common sense.

"I know, but I just can't understand why Heaven would do this," Li Zhirui sighed, his face full of helplessness. It wasn't the first time he had noticed something was wrong.

It's important to understand that the increased power of lightning tribulations isn't a recent phenomenon; it has existed for many years, and the situation has become increasingly severe over time.

There must be a reason why Heaven does this, right?
Unfortunately, they didn't know, and they couldn't find any reason for the Heavenly Dao's actions, which were completely without clues. They could only make wild guesses on their own.

"If this continues, the power of the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation will probably reach an extremely terrifying level..." Xiao Cang's face was full of worry.

Not only him, but Daqing and Xiaoqing were also very worried.

It's very simple. The three of them are currently only Earth Immortals and have not yet broken through to Heaven Immortal. Da Qing, in particular, has not even broken through to the late stage of Earth Immortal!
If they were all destined to reach the Heavenly Immortal realm, the increasing power of the tribulation lightning would undoubtedly raise the difficulty of their tribulation and the risk of their demise.

This is something no one wants to see.

Li Zhirui was well aware of their concerns and understood them completely, but the problem was that he had no way to resolve the issue!

Therefore, he could only say, "No one knows what the future holds. You should all hurry up and cultivate to break through the tribulation as soon as possible."

This was the best solution Li Zhirui could think of.

The idea is good, but it's not so easy to implement, let alone complete.

Even if Xiaoqing and Xiaocang are both deities, it's impossible for them to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm in a short time, let alone Daqing, whose cultivation level is even lower.

"Ugh!"

Faced with this, Da Qing and his two companions could only sigh and eventually left helplessly.

Seeing their somewhat lonely figures, Li Zhirui felt a pang of sympathy, but there was nothing he could do. Even if he were a celestial being, there were some things he couldn't help with.

Moreover, he had already done his utmost to help the three of them break through to the Celestial Immortal realm, giving them all sorts of pills, cultivation insights, and experiences.

……

Jiang Fengwu's journey wasn't entirely smooth, but the news that he had successfully overcome the tribulation and become a Celestial Immortal quickly spread throughout the entire Shanhai Prefecture and rapidly reached the outside world.

After learning of this, the sect leader of Dongyuan Sect sat in his chair, holding the jade slip in his hand, but his eyes were glazed over and he fell into silence. In his heart, he kept asking himself, why has the sect gained nothing so far?
He originally thought that after the great calamity, several veteran Earth Immortals in the sect would be able to make further progress, after all, they had cultivated for so many years and were just one step away from success.

At that time, the Yuanling Realm was a time when laws were manifested and it was very easy to comprehend them, so it was relatively easy to gain something from it and advance one's own realm.

But the result was a resounding slap in the face!
Since the end of the great calamity, although the sect has experienced continuous lightning tribulations, the celestial lightning tribulation he had been hoping for has not yet occurred.

In other words, none of the veteran Earth Immortals he had high hopes for successfully passed their tribulation.

Therefore, the sect leader even personally visited these seniors to ask them why they did not undergo tribulation to break through.

Some say it's due to bottlenecks, others say it's due to insufficient preparation. He can accept these two reasons, as they are at least legitimate.

But some people actually said they were worried that they would fail to transcend the tribulation and die, so they were unwilling to undergo the tribulation!

When the other party said those words, the sect leader's anger erupted instantly. He wanted to shout and rebuke them, but in the end, he said nothing and staggered away, exuding a deep sense of sorrow and grief, as if his heart had died.

When did the Dongyuan Sect become so lifeless and stagnant? To the point that now, even veteran Earth Immortals are saying they dare not undergo tribulation!
To ponder this question, he sat in the sect's main hall for a whole day and night, but still did not get an answer, or rather, he already had the answer in his heart.

However, when he reappeared, he looked much older and quite haggard.

In fact, the problems that Dongyuan Sect is facing now are the same problems that many top-tier powers face. Some of them can successfully overcome these challenges and reach a higher level.

Some problems cannot be solved. They may be able to maintain their strength and status for a long time, but they will eventually be unable to avoid decline!
The reason this sect leader is so anxious is twofold: firstly, his strong sense of responsibility and love for the sect, and secondly, his unwillingness to see the sect decline one day.

Another reason is related to the Li family in the neighboring state. Seeing how rapidly the other family is developing while their own is stagnating, they can't help but feel a little anxious.

……

In a corner deep within the starry sky, an explosion suddenly erupted.

Li Zhixuan emerged somewhat disheveled from a meteorite. She had been seriously injured and had simply taken refuge inside the meteorite to treat her injuries.

Fortunately, she has been lucky over the years. The meteorite drifted around in the starry sky but did not accidentally enter the battlefield or get hit by the aftershocks, giving her ample time to heal her wounds.

After more than a hundred years of treatment, although her injuries had not fully healed, they no longer affected her mobility. Therefore, she decided to return to Wanxian Mountain to recuperate properly at her family's home. After determining the direction, Li Zhixuan flew towards her family without hesitation.

After a period of high-speed travel, she returned to her family smoothly. She originally planned to go directly back to her cave to cultivate in seclusion, but unexpectedly, Li Zhirui happened to be nearby.

"Ninth brother."

"You are finally back."

Although her life tablet was intact, she couldn't help but feel a little worried because so many years had passed since the great calamity ended and she hadn't seen Li Zhixuan return.

After all, she had originally intended to settle all her karma and then transcend it, which is why she so actively participated in the great calamity and went to the battlefield between immortals and demons.

Therefore, she was definitely not satisfied with killing just one celestial being; there would definitely be a second, a third, or even more!

Even if Li Zhixuan is very strong and has fought many battles, she is not invincible. She will eventually encounter an evenly matched opponent, and she will probably have no way to escape without paying a price.

Li Zhirui's appearance here this time was not because he was waiting for her. Even if he was worried, he would not do such a thing, or he could not have predicted that she would come back at this time. It was just a coincidence.

The two then entered Li Zhixuan's cave. Li Zhirui asked, "How is it? Has the cause and effect been resolved?"

"Not even close."

If she had killed two or three more Earth Immortals at that time, this karmic debt might have been resolved. But unfortunately, she was already seriously injured at that time. Not to mention fighting, she barely managed to stay alive and not faint.

Therefore, they could only regretfully leave behind some merits, failing to achieve success in one fell swoop.

However, there weren't many, and Li Zhixuan could have easily solved the problem using other methods.

"Are you planning to transcend your limitations once your injuries have fully healed?" Li Zhirui immediately asked.

"Yes."

Li Zhixuan nodded without hesitation and said, "I can simply offset the remaining karma with my merits."

She was already quite impatient, after all, since she broke through to the Celestial Immortal realm, she hadn't been able to cultivate seriously for a long time, and her cultivation level hadn't improved at all.

After she transcends worldly desires, she cultivates directly in the void, striving to break through to a higher realm.

“Alright, remember to remind me when you’re ready to transcend,” Li Zhirui suddenly said.

"Of course! After all, Ninth Brother, you will transcend and leave one day." Li Zhixuan didn't think much of it and casually drafted the manuscript for him.

"Then I won't disturb you."

After saying this, he left behind several bottles of healing pills and got up to leave.

Li Zhirui had previously planned to transcend worldly desires in the near future, so he should have started preparing now, but he has yet to take any action.

From this point of view, it is not hard to see that he still had some hesitation in his heart.

After all, Jiang Fengwu had not yet broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm at that time. He was worried that after he transcended, his family would only have Li Mingyao, a Celestial Immortal deity, to hold the reins.

Now that Li Zhixuan is back, it's a good time to let her try it out first, while he learns from the experience and lessons.

Meanwhile, in the cave dwelling of another Celestial Immortal cultivator in the family.

"Ancestor Fengwu, the family has a request." As soon as Jiang Fengwu emerged from seclusion, Li Xiuyuan immediately set off to visit him.

"What is it?" In fact, she had a vague idea of ​​why her family wanted to see her.

With the powerful Li Zhirui and Li Zhixuan around, the matter of killing enemies and seeking revenge will definitely not come to her. So, only the defense of Wanxian Mountain remains.

"Please, Ancestor, set up a Celestial Immortal-level protective formation for the family."

As he spoke, he bowed to Jiang Fengwu.

"This is not difficult to do."

She had made various preparations long ago for the future expansion of the mountain-protecting formation.

Therefore, all she needs to do now is follow the steps and consume a large amount of spiritual resources before she can eventually obtain a Celestial-level mountain-protecting formation.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you, Ancestor!"

Li Xiuyuan, holding a piece of land tightly in his hand, compared it to the flames of war and said, "If the Ancestor needs any spiritual items, he can use this token to go to the warehouse and retrieve them."

"There's no need for that!" Even Jiang Fengwu himself was taken aback by these words, not expecting his family to be so generous.

Such an important matter could not possibly be decided by Li Xiuyuan alone.

"Ancestor, there's no need to refuse. I also hope that you can complete the upgrade of the mountain protection formation as soon as possible."

Since that's what they've said, she didn't continue to refuse.

After he left, Jiang Fengwu began to go into seclusion to deduce the formation.

In fact, she had a plan to perfect and upgrade the formation, but her cultivation level was not high enough at the time, and many aspects were not good enough or well considered, so she could not perfectly make the formation reach the Celestial Immortal level.

So he spent decades reviewing the previous plans and, after confirming there were no problems, he immediately summoned all the array masters in the family to help him improve the array.

With such a great learning opportunity, they naturally wouldn't refuse it, and they were all very enthusiastic about it.

Moreover, Jiang Fengwu was not the kind of person to be polite. Now that she had the authority given to her by Li Xiuyuan, she naturally wanted to make use of it to enhance the power of the mountain-protecting formation and improve it as soon as possible, elevating it to the Celestial Immortal level.

Therefore, she took out many precious spiritual items from the family treasury, especially star spiritual items, and used them all to improve and upgrade the formation.

Jiang Fengwu's actions actually aroused dissatisfaction among some clansmen, who felt that she was abusing her power for personal gain.

However, Li Xiuyuan dismissed all these complaints. In fact, if some clansmen went too far, he would send people to arrest them and temporarily imprison them in the dungeon.

Some elders felt he was making a mountain out of a molehill; the clansmen were just complaining, and it wasn't right to imprison someone directly.

When Li Xiuyuan heard them say this, he felt that they were short-sighted and could not see the future of the family.

The two patriarchs, Li Zhirui and Li Zhixuan, have differing opinions. The latter has clearly defined the timeframe for transcendence, which, if things go quickly, will be within the next century. The former, however, seems to have recently become interested in it as well, no longer just a fleeting thought. (End of Chapter)
