Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

But the impact of Lin Changqing's words went far beyond that!

As time went by, the news spread beyond the Eastern Continent, and all factions, including the human, demon, sea, and monster races, learned of it.

Some did not believe it, thinking it was a false message deliberately released by the immortals to cause turmoil in the Yuanling Realm; others tried to verify it to see if it would be detrimental to their side.

Some gloated, believing that after the immortal path was rejected by the Heavenly Dao, its strength would definitely be greatly reduced, and then it would be unable to protect the land of Dongzhou, which was rich in spiritual energy and abundant in resources!
……

Beyond the nine heavens, deep within the Big Dipper constellation.

The original Doumu Palace has disappeared, and it has been replaced by a more magnificent palace called Ziwei Palace!

Ziwei, who usually resides in the Heavenly Court, has returned here, a rare occurrence.

"Gou Chen, is the news that came out from the Immortal Path true?" Zi Wei asked with a frown and a hint of worry on her face.

"I don't think Sendoh would lie about this, but things might not be that simple."

Although Gouchen broke through to the Celestial Immortal realm much later than Ziwei, he has now completely surpassed him. If we don't count those reclusive great gods, Gouchen is very likely the person with the most profound divine cultivation!

Even so, he still has a long way to go before breaking through to the Xuanxian realm.

"What do you mean?" Ziwei asked quickly.

"According to the immortals, this is only the beginning of an era. The great trend has just begun to take shape. It is unknown how long it will take, and even more unknown what will happen during that time."

Gou Chen slowly said, "Everyone says that the general trend cannot be changed, but I don't think so!"

Cultivation is inherently going against the will of Heaven. Whether it is the path of immortals, demons, humans, or the demon race, sea race, or ghost race, all of them absorb energy from the outside world and try to understand the way of Heaven in order to strengthen themselves.

Even the divine path, which is favored by heaven and earth, is no exception!

The gods know how to give back to heaven and earth, and will use their own methods to help heaven and earth, so that the way of heaven and themselves can achieve a certain balance.

Under such circumstances, how many living beings can truly believe that the tide of history is irreversible?
Gou Chen was certain that, despite the current apparent inaction of the Immortal Path, the major powers had secretly rallied together to devise a way to break the overall trend. Whether it was direct sabotage or modification, they would have a way to deal with it.

He even suspected that the immortal knew more but deliberately concealed it before revealing it at the ceremony, in order to muddy the waters.

After listening to Gou Chen's analysis, Ziwei's brows not only did not relax, but instead furrowed even more.

"Since no Xuanxian has yet been born in this divine path, and its grasp of the evolution of heavenly secrets is not as accurate as other forces, your main task now is to break through to the Xuanxian realm as soon as possible!"

Yes! There are no Xuanxian in the Divine Path yet! It's not that we're deliberately hiding it; there really aren't any.

Despite the long and ancient lineage of the divine path, and the existence of many ancient deities, these deities may not wish to remain in the Yuanling Realm for certain reasons. They are all thinking of severing their karmic ties with the Yuanling Realm, just like Doumu, and transcending it as soon as possible.

Therefore, even though they have the qualifications and the confidence to break through to the Xuanxian realm, no one has taken action yet, as they are all trying their best to repay their karmic debts.

Hearing Ziwei's encouraging words, Gou Chen frowned almost imperceptibly. Like those great gods, he was also unwilling to break through to the Xuanxian realm!

The reason is simple: the higher one's spiritual realm, the closer one becomes to the world, and the more difficult it is to transcend it.

If they do not transcend, unless the Yuanling Realm is upgraded again, their realm will remain at the Xuanxian Realm.

But is upgrading the world order really that easy?

It's important to know that it took dozens of epochs for the upper limit of the Yuanling Realm to be raised from the Heavenly Immortal Realm to the Profound Immortal Realm! So how many epochs will it take for the next upgrade?

Dozens? Or even hundreds?
This was unacceptable to Gouchen, who was determined to pursue the Great Dao!
He didn't want to be trapped in the Yuanling Realm; he wanted to go to the void and chaos, to experience the scenery of countless worlds, and to pursue a higher realm.

"Cultivate diligently. If you need any spiritual items, just let me know, and I will find a way to send them to you."

However, Ziwei did not notice this. After leaving behind a hopeful remark, she departed from the palace.

At this moment, Gou Chen suddenly felt a pang of envy for Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo.

I envy them for not having to bear these pressures and being able to do what they want.

"Throughout these years, they must have repaid most of the karmic debts they owed to heaven and earth, right?"

"Ugh!"

After standing there for a long time, Gou Chen could only sigh before his figure disappeared.

……

Gou Chen's guess was indeed correct. On the surface, the Immortal Path seemed calm and peaceful, but in reality, those old-established Celestial Immortal forces had long since gathered together and begun to devise ways to deal with the major trends of the era.

"Fellow Daoists, what do you think we should do about this?" a celestial being asked in a deep voice.

"I searched through all the sect's records and found a record of this in an ancient book. The book describes that the great trend also has a time limit! If the great trend has not taken shape within a certain period of time, it will soon dissipate."

An old Taoist priest with white hair and beard, exuding an ethereal aura, slowly said, "The general trend is irreversible, but not unchangeable!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Since our ancestors in ancient times changed the course of history, they might be able to do the same!

In short, they would never accept such a powerful trend as Heaven rejecting the Immortal Path!

……

Sun rises and moon sets, time flies.

Before we knew it, a thousand years had passed.

Over the past thousand years, the cultivation level in the Yuanling Realm has suddenly improved dramatically, and several Xuanxian Ancestors have been born in such a short period of time!

Moreover, not all of them are immortals; some are demons, some are demons, but the most numerous are sea creatures!
Two things were surprising.

Firstly, among the three great dynasties of the Southern Region, the Great Qian and Great Zhou joined forces to annex the Great Xia Dynasty!
Afterwards, the emperors of the two great dynasties, having gathered a vast amount of human fortune and imperial dragon energy, successfully ascended to the rank of Xuanxian.

In other words, the Human Way, the shortest-lived path of cultivation, has also entered the Xuanxian forces and successfully caught up with the top forces of the Yuanling Realm.

However, the actions of Daqian and Dazhou in annexing Daxia frightened the other human dynasties, each fearing that they would follow in their footsteps.

Fortunately, neither of the two great dynasties currently intends to directly border each other, so a large number of small countries remain between them.

Another piece of news is that the Divine Path has never had a Mysterious Immortal Ancestor!

There are no Xuanxian, whether in the open or in the shadows!
Moreover, this news was not just wild speculation from outsiders, but rather a message that came from within Shinto itself.

It's important to understand that the Divine Path is the oldest and most ancient path of cultivation. Although it experienced a long period of dormancy, it has developed rapidly since its re-emergence. Yet, at this time, there are no Mystic Immortals!
This surprised many living beings, and some even thought it was a false message deliberately released by the gods.

But little did they know, Ziwei was unleashing a furious rage in the Heavenly Court.

If all factions have improved, but you haven't, then you're falling behind!
If you fall behind, you will be attacked!

Although deities can avoid the calamity of death and annihilation by virtue of their special status, it is quite normal for the divine path to suffer some losses as a result.

After venting her frustrations, Ziwei finally calmed down and began to think about how to add a Mysterious Immortal Ancestor to the Divine Path, even if there was only one, it would be enough.

His first thought was of those veteran masters. These masters were all incredibly powerful, and Ziwei had no doubt that as long as they were willing to break through, there was at least an 80% chance of success!

Unfortunately, they were unwilling to stay in the Yuanling Realm, so even when he commanded them as the Heavenly Emperor, these great gods did not take him seriously.

Besides them, there are also many deities at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm in the Divine Path, such as Ziwei himself, Gouchen, and the Water God Emperor.

However, breaking through to the Xuanxian realm is not something that can be achieved in a short time; it may even take many years.

After much thought, Ziwei turned her attention to humanity!
Since a Xuanxian Emperor has appeared in both the Great Qian and Great Zhou dynasties, could he use this method to quickly break through to the Xuanxian realm?

Although he was asking for help from the two great dynasties of the human realm, this was the only way he could think of to break through to the Xuanxian realm as quickly as possible!

The methods of humanity and the methods of the divine have long been preserved, but as for how to break through to the Xuanxian realm, one still needs to consult the Great Qian and the Great Zhou.

……

The turmoil in the Yuanling Realm had little to do with the Li family. As the cultivation level in the Yuanling Realm improved, the Li family, which could barely be considered a first-rate power, fell back to a second-rate power.

However, the Li family members were not too concerned about this. Just as the clan leader Li Debo said, no matter what they encountered, as long as they had enough strength, they could deal with it more easily.

Moreover, the Li family is still the dominant force in the area, and the clansmen don't feel much about the decline in their family's status.

"Rui Zu has been in seclusion for another thousand years. Perhaps when he emerges, he will transcend worldly concerns?" After finishing a certain matter, Li Debo's thoughts wandered, and he couldn't help but think of Li Zhirui.

His tone conveyed both joy at his liberation and sorrow at his passing.

Over the past thousand years, the family has developed relatively quickly, although not as fast as before, but this is also due to the difference in size.

In fact, given the Li family's current size, it is already quite remarkable that they can maintain this rate of growth. Many forces with less strength than the Li family have not been able to improve at such a fast pace.

"Clan leader, the Spirit Testing Conference has concluded this year. These are the qualifications and names of all the new generation disciples."

Suddenly, an elder hurried in and handed over a special jade slip with both hands.

This jade slip is specially protected by a restriction. Only those who know the corresponding incantation can open it. If you try to forcibly pry into it, the jade slip will explode, damaging not only the physical body but also the sea of ​​consciousness!
"understood."

Li Debo responded and waited until the person left before using magic to open the jade slip.

His divine sense swept across the jade slip at lightning speed, but he didn't retain any information about anyone. About half an hour later, he finally finished reading the jade slip.

"The aptitude of the new members of the clan this year is slightly better than that of last year." There is one more Heavenly Spiritual Root member and more than a dozen members with Dual Spiritual Roots.

However, at Li Debo's current level, he doesn't value aptitude too much; he places more emphasis on temperament and Dao heart.

However, this kind of thing cannot be directly observed with the help of external objects like a spiritual root; it can only be observed in the days to come.

Moreover, this is not static; it may change after certain events occur.

Therefore, Li Debo did not pay much attention to this at the moment. He simply glanced at it and then used a restriction to seal the jade slip again.

The Li family maintains a strict system of secrecy regarding the qualifications of its members.

……

On the other side, Li Zhirui, whom Li Debo was concerned about, slowly opened his eyes.

"After a thousand years, we have finally succeeded!"

As he spoke, a bright smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Li Zhirui named it the Lotus Lotus Dao Method. He would fuse various precious lotuses and enter into them to absorb all kinds of Daoist rhymes, laws, and essences.

Simply put, it can be regarded as an alchemy furnace, and he himself is the spiritual object in the furnace.

After a long period of refinement, all the essence is absorbed into the body, changing one's life level from the inside out.

In fact, this is just a variation of the original method, only it is less difficult and more suitable for Li Zhirui.

"Next, it's time to settle the karmic debts."

Li Zhirui murmured to himself, and with a thought, he began to use his magic to observe the state of evil and filth in the world.

He originally thought he would have to wait a while, but the result surprised him greatly!
In just a thousand years, evil and filthy things have increased dramatically!

This growth rate is actually quite abnormal, as if it has been deliberately stimulated by something.

"What has happened in the Yuanling Realm over the years?" Li Zhirui asked, somewhat lost in thought.

Then he thought of Lin Changqing's words and understood the way of Heaven even more.

The evil and filthy things are growing too fast, so fast that within ten thousand years, two great calamities that will sweep across the world may erupt!
Even though he was about to leave the Yuanling Realm, he was still shocked by what he saw.

"Ugh!"

After a long silence, Li Zhirui could only let out a sigh.

This is not something a mere Celestial Immortal cultivator like him can solve. Even if he breaks through to the Profound Immortal realm, he still cannot change it.

Therefore, Li Zhirui crushed all distracting thoughts, preventing them from disturbing him, and maintained a calm and serene state of mind.

After he emerged from seclusion, he did not immediately begin purifying the accumulated evil and filth in the Yuanling Realm. Instead, he told Li Debo to hurry over, as he had important matters to instruct him on.

The moment he received the transmission talisman, Li Debo understood that his ancestor was about to transcend!

He was naturally saddened and reluctant to part, but he dared not neglect this order.

Before long, he saw Li Zhirui, dressed in a blue robe, with his long, glossy black hair casually tied up, sitting in the pavilion to rest.

"Rui Zu, what can I do for you?" (End of Chapter)
