Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

"Now that this matter is settled, I will take my leave."

After obtaining the spirit seed, Li Xinhuai bid farewell and left without hesitation. He didn't know why, but staying in the Xiaxian Sect always gave him a strange sense of oppression, which made him very uncomfortable, as if some danger was about to befall him.

Even his previously inactive spiritual senses were now incessantly clamoring and roaring, urging him to leave immediately!

If it weren't for the family mission he was carrying, Li Xinhuai would never have suppressed this extremely strong impulse in his heart, and he even pretended to be nonchalant on the surface.

The sect leader of Xiaxian Sect only offered a few token words of farewell, and seeing that Li Xinhuai insisted on leaving, he sent a disciple to escort him away.

"Do you think this person has sensed something?" the sect leader suddenly asked, addressing the empty hall.

In the next instant, several figures suddenly appeared inside the hall.

"Should we send someone to kill him to prevent the news from leaking?" one of them asked coldly, his tone filled with murderous intent.

After thinking for a moment, the sect leader decided to let it go. "Forget it. He probably didn't find anything. On the contrary, killing him might attract the attention of the Li family. If it's exposed then, it will increase the pressure on the sect."

The group had no objections to the decision, and then quietly disappeared again.

"I hope our ancestor will succeed."

The sect leader gazed into the depths of the sect, his eyes filled with anticipation and prayer.

……

At this moment, Li Xinhuai, who had left the gate of Xiaxian Sect, immediately flew away from this place at top speed.

What happened at the Xiaxian Sect? Why does the area inside the sect feel so terrifying?

He didn't even dare to say those words aloud; he could only think about them in his mind, yet he still felt a sense of urgency.

Only after fleeing all the way out of the Xiaxian Sect's territory did Li Xinhuai finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It took him almost another month to return to Wanshan Mountain.

"Clan leader, something strange is happening with the Xiaxian Sect!"

When Li Xinhuai returned, like Li Xianxun, Li Yunran, and the others, he first went to Li Debo to complete the task, but instead of leaving immediately, he talked about his feelings.

"Ok?"

Li Debo naturally didn't think this was something he was making up out of thin air; this was a stern warning from a celestial being!

"Besides that, have you made any other discoveries?"

Li Xinhuai shook his head and said, "No, I didn't go deep into the Xiaxian Sect's mountain gate at that time. I only met its sect leader in the outermost welcoming hall."

There's nothing wrong with this approach; after all, you can't just invite people into the heart of your own territory.

"Don't mention this to anyone else. Just pretend you know nothing about it."

After some thought, Li Debo decided not to investigate the matter further.

First of all, the Xiaxian Sect is not a small sect, but a top-tier immortal power with strength far exceeding that of the Li family. If they were to send someone to investigate, it would be far too easy for them to be exposed.

In the end, not only will we find out nothing, but we will also offend the Xiaxian Sect.

Secondly, they are too far away from the Li family, with the Dongyuan Sect in between. Even if something really happens to the Xiaxian Sect, the family will not be the first to be affected, and they will have plenty of time to prepare.

"I see."

Li Xinhuai naturally understood this principle, so he had no objections and quickly took his leave.

"What exactly is the Xiaxian Sect doing?"

Li Debo didn't dwell on the matter. He took the spirit seeds he had obtained from the Xiaxian Sect and went to the entrance of Li Zhirui's cave to hand them over.

The spiritual seed that Li Zhirui had previously obtained from the He family in Yumen had already been planted in his spatial dimension.

However, with these twelve more Celestial Immortal-grade spirit seeds, he still didn't have enough spirit stones!

The family's stored spirit stones were not convenient to use on a large scale, so Li Zhirui finally came up with a solution: to have the family's caravans sell pills in the territories of other forces to obtain a large number of spirit stones.

Because of the Li family's significant actions, a shortage of spirit stones occurred in the surrounding areas during this period, leading to a substantial increase in the purchasing power of spirit stones.

"Rui Zu, the Xia Xian Sect might be planning something big." Before taking his leave, Li Debo recounted the news he had heard in its entirety.

"Oh?"

Li Zhirui raised an eyebrow slightly, but didn't take it to heart, and casually said, "Don't worry about him, he won't affect the family."

The Xiaxian Sect is simply trying to help a Celestial Immortal advance further, break through to the Profound Immortal Realm, or achieve Celestial Immortal transcendence, or perhaps do something else entirely.

But as I said before, they are too far away from Shanhaizhou, so whatever it is, it won't have a big impact on the family.

"Remember to bring back plenty of spirit stones from the outside world."

After explaining the most important matters at hand, Li Zhirui turned around and returned to his cave to continue summarizing his experiences and insights from his life of cultivation and alchemy.

Seeing that his ancestor didn't take the matter to heart at all, Li Debo's previously uneasy mood immediately became peaceful.

"The rate at which evil and filth accumulates in the world is getting faster and faster..."

Li Zhirui, sitting cross-legged on a futon in the quiet room, was sensing the world as usual. He was doing this in order to find the right time to purify himself so that he could transcend the world as soon as possible, but he suddenly discovered a surprising situation.

"Why is this happening?"

The only battles he knew of so far were the standoff between the demonic forces and the sea and ghost races on the Western Continent, as well as small-scale wars.

There is also the struggle between the demon race and humanity in the Southern Region.

Apart from that, everything else was calm and peaceful.

"wrong!"

Li Zhirui suddenly realized, how could he have linked evil spirits and war together? You must know that evil spirits contain a great deal of things, and besides that, there are many other things that add more pressure to the world!
For example, the number of sentient beings practicing cultivation has increased!
Aside from deities and Earth Immortal cultivators, every additional cultivator on other cultivation paths increases the pressure on the world; the higher the cultivation level, the greater the pressure.

Because their cultivation not only plunders the resources of heaven and earth, but also causes pollution.

And this is what people often refer to as evil and filthy things.

Setting aside his previously fixed ideas, Li Zhirui quickly figured out what was going on.

Why are there more and more cultivators from various paths? One very important reason is closely related to Li Zhirui.

That is the emergence of the world travel method! Over the years, the Yuanling Realm has conquered countless worlds. The family of Li Zhirui alone has conquered no less than thirty extraterrestrial worlds.

With so many resources from other worlds, the Li family has not only increased its population in recent years, but its overall strength has also improved by one or two levels.

And this is just the Li family, which is not a very powerful force. If we broaden our perspective to the entire Immortal Path, the entire human race, and the entire Yuanling Realm, this is an extremely terrifying situation!

"No wonder the Heavenly Dao keeps increasing the power of the tribulation lightning. Is it because it has seen the terrifying consequences of cultivators from all paths becoming so rampant?" Li Zhirui couldn't help but sigh.

Before this, he never imagined that the source of this influence on the future course of the world was actually caused by him!

This incident also strengthened Li Zhirui's resolve to transcend this world as soon as possible!

The Yuanling Realm can still withstand it now, but once the number of cultivators from all paths exceeds the limit, the Yuanling Realm will likely gradually decline and may even be destroyed.

If Heaven were to investigate the matter thoroughly at that time, it would likely unleash a divine punishment that would strike Li Zhirui to death!

Of course, that will be a very distant future, and he won't even know where he is in the world by then.

Currently, probably few people realize this, since not everyone has Li Zhirui's ability to carefully perceive the increase and changes in global pressure.

With a thought, he crushed all these chaotic thoughts and continued with what he had not yet finished.

……

High above the heavens, in a place where gods gather, a magnificent palace houses a multitude of deities.

If you look closely, you will be surprised to find that the vast majority of the gods present are star gods, including Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, who rarely appear in public.

While some deities showed signs of understanding, they, along with the subordinate gods of the Sun and Moon pantheon, were completely clueless and utterly bewildered.

"Brother, judging from this situation, could it be that His Majesty has some important matter to resolve?" Li Chengshuo secretly transmitted his voice.

In terms of closeness or distance, the small group to which these two belonged was the furthest from Ziwei, because apart from the Star God, the remaining deities were all Ziwei's confidants, and both of them were his own people.

'That should be it.' Li Chengsheng couldn't think of any other plans.

To be honest, he was somewhat surprised, because since their last frank conversation, Ziwei had not probed again, nor had she made any underhanded moves against the Sun and Moon Divine System, and had even rarely bothered them.

But this time, Ziwei sent a close advisor to personally invite them, and the implication was that the two of them had to be present!

They knew then that this was no small matter, but now that they've arrived, they're afraid it's even more extraordinary than they guessed!
Not long after, Ziwei appeared before everyone, surrounded by a group of stars from the Big Dipper.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"

The gods bowed according to their status. Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo only needed to bow slightly, but some lesser gods with lower cultivation had to bow deeply.

"No gift."

Ziwei's calm and deep voice reached the ears of every deity, saying, "The reason I have summoned you all here today is to announce an important matter that is enough to change the Yuanling Realm and will be of great benefit to us."

"I intend to join forces with everyone to create a teleportation array that covers the entire Yuanling Realm!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell into a deathly silence. Everyone stared in disbelief, their faces filled with shock.

Throughout history, there have been many forces that have tried to create teleportation arrays, but without exception, they have all failed.

It's important to know that the Yuanling Realm isn't without its own traditions related to teleportation arrays; for example, entering a secret realm requires using a teleportation array!
Moreover, compared to teleporting within the Yuanling Realm, this obviously involves teleporting between two worlds, which is much more difficult.

However, under such circumstances, no formation has ever appeared in the Yuanling Realm!

Because the spatial barrier of this world is very strong and easy to heal, but the inner space is very chaotic and dangerous, it is impossible to easily open a stable spatial entrance or create a stable spatial passage.

Even with their vast and abundant magical power, they wouldn't dare to try teleportation arrays until these problems were resolved.

Because if something unexpected happens during the teleportation process, such as being caught in spatial turbulence, they have no way to solve the problem and will only face death.

anyway!

Most of the gods questioned Ziwei's arrogant statement and did not believe that he could do it.

After all, even a stable spatial teleportation channel cannot be fixed in place, let alone their Heavenly Emperor, who actually wants to create a teleportation array that covers the entire Yuanling Realm!
How many spatial passages would that require?! There would definitely be no fewer than a thousand, and there would be more, not fewer!
Not to mention the difficulty of entering the space itself.

However, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo looked intently at Ziwei. Based on their understanding of Ziwei, they knew that he would never have made such a big fuss if he hadn't already succeeded in this important matter!

"I know what you are worried about, but I can tell you for sure that I have mastered a fairly complete method and have already established a teleportation array."

Sure enough! The next moment, Ziwei made the announcement in front of everyone.

boom--

The scene was as if struck by a giant thunderbolt, with a tremendous sound erupting immediately.

"real or fake?!"

"Judging from His Majesty's expression, it must be true."

"But what does this have to do with us, the Star Gods? Why were we summoned here?"

……

The scene got out of control and became very noisy and chaotic.

"Quiet!"

One of the close advisors of the Purple Star Palace frowned and said coldly, "This is the Lingxiao Palace. What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket!"

"I know you all must have many questions in your hearts, and I can explain them one by one here." Ziwei's attitude was quite gentle.

"If you do not believe me, you can go to Taibai Star to check the teleportation array yourself. As for why I called you here, it is because this teleportation array cannot function without your support."

Ziwei patiently explained, "As you all know, the space of the starry sky is not as solid as it is, which makes it much easier to open a portal."

"In addition, through a secret technique, the power of stars can be added to the spatial passage, which can not only determine the location and prevent getting lost in space, but also strengthen the defense of the passage."

Now that things have been said, how could Li Chengsheng, Li Chengshuo, and the others not understand?
With the two major challenges of setting up the teleportation array resolved, there were no further difficulties.

'There's probably another purpose!'

Li Chengsheng withdrew his gaze, silently thinking, 'That means strengthening control over the Star God lineage by setting up a teleportation array!'

Once Ziwei's plan is complete, he will no longer need to worry about any internal divisions within the Star God organization, as he will have complete control over the situation. (End of Chapter)
