Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

"Ha ha……"

Seeing Li Debo's sad and reluctant expression, yet hesitant to speak, Li Zhirui couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Don't act like a child. It's not like we're parting forever."

Although there is a possibility of meeting again in the future, the probability is almost zero.

Leaving aside whether Li Debo can transcend, in the vast and chaotic void, unless by some extraordinary stroke of luck, there is no way they will ever meet again.

"Yes!"

Li Debo responded and forced himself to cheer up.

"I suppose you've guessed what I'm going to say, so I'll get straight to the point."

Li Zhirui's expression turned serious, and he said, "My day of transcendence is approaching. You should inform the clansmen to return to the clan in ten years to witness this transcendence."

In reality, this may not necessarily have a beneficial effect on the cultivation of the clansmen, because judging from Li Zhixuan's previous transcendence process, the Heavenly Dao did not manifest itself, but the world instinctively rejected her.

Of course, this may be related to the fact that Li Zhixuan has already initially cultivated the Chaotic God-Demon Body.

Li Zhirui was also wondering if his orthodox transcendence might cause the Heavenly Dao to emerge, thus making it easier for his clansmen to comprehend the laws. This could be considered his last act of giving back to his clan.

"Ten years? I've got it. Rui Zu, please feel free to use your supernatural powers."

After saying this, he bowed to him and took his leave.

Even if Li Debo wanted to keep this a secret, it would be extremely difficult for him to do so.

So he made it public from the very beginning, without any intention of hiding anything.

The news immediately attracted the attention of various parties.

"Speaking of which, isn't this the second transcendent celestial being in the Li family?"

"That's right. Before that, there was another sword cultivator senior in the Li family named Li Zhixuan who also chose to transcend, and she made this decision not long after breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm."

"Why is the Li family so determined to transcend the mortal realm instead of staying in the Yuanling Realm? Perhaps the previous senior was not yet able to break through to the Xuanxian Realm because he had only recently broken through, but this one has been a Tianxian for many years, right? There have long been rumors that he can break through to the Xuanxian Realm."

……

The independent cultivators discussed it animatedly, showing great curiosity about the matter.

"Do you think it's because the Li family already knew about the epochal trend of the Yuanling Realm rejecting the Heavenly Dao, so they're all thinking about leaving as soon as possible?" Suddenly, a rogue cultivator said this.

The scene fell silent instantly, and the atmosphere became somewhat eerie.

"It shouldn't be that bad, right?" After a long while, a rogue cultivator finally spoke hesitantly.

"It's not impossible! Otherwise, how can we explain the fact that two powerful figures from the Li family have successively transcended the Yuanling Realm?"

"Yes!"

But to my surprise, many independent cultivators actually believed those wild guesses!

Then the rumors started to spread. You know, news that is surprising, unusual, or even absurd like this is the easiest to spread.

As a result, some forces that were not weak believed the rumor.

The consequences were that things escalated, and the rumors became increasingly outrageous. The most outrageous rumor was that the Li family actually had a Xuanxian (a type of immortal) who had been living in seclusion all along.

"If the Li family were truly that powerful, how could they possibly be content to stay and obediently guard Shanhai Prefecture?"

It should be noted that Shanhaizhou was not a good place in the past. The fact that it is now so full of vitality is entirely due to the Li family's gradual development.

Therefore, powerful forces like the Dongyuan Sect found those rumors laughable. If the Li family had such abilities, why would they have remained in a remote corner all this time?
They even suspected that this news was spread by the Li family themselves in order to expand their own reputation and make people mistakenly believe that they were very powerful.

"That celestial being from the Li family must have heard what the Xuanxian Ancestor said, which is why he decided to transcend as soon as possible."

"I never expected him to be such a cowardly and timid person."

Some celestial cultivators had a rather mediocre opinion of Li Zhirui, and some even looked down on him.

Li Zhirui was completely unaware of this, but even if he had, he wouldn't have cared. The opinions of outsiders couldn't possibly influence his decision.

Therefore, after entrusting the matter to Li Debo, he went to the underworld.

His appearance did not alarm any ghosts or gods; only one person noticed his presence: the Earth Goddess, this old and powerful deity.

"I wonder what brings you here, my friend?" With a thought, a clone appeared before Li Zhirui.

"I've met my empress."

Li Zhirui bowed before saying, "I have heard that evil and filthy things accumulate in the underworld, and that is why I have come here."

"Fellow Daoist intends to purify all the evil and filth?"

With a quick thought, the Earth Goddess instantly guessed his purpose and said, "Then, by using this merit, you can settle your own karma and achieve transcendence?"

Otherwise, there would be no need to risk purifying that massive amount of evil and filth for no reason at all.

You must understand that this is not something that can be easily resolved. One wrong move and you could fail. If you are attacked by evil spirits and filth, at best your essence will be polluted, and at worst you will die and your life will be extinguished!
"Your Majesty is indeed exceptionally intelligent; I admire you." Seeing that the other party had guessed his purpose, Li Zhirui no longer concealed it and spoke directly.

The Earth Goddess smiled and said, "May I observe and learn from you, my friend?"

Li Zhirui raised an eyebrow. He really hadn't expected the Earth Goddess to make such a request. Then, he suddenly remembered the news coming from within the Divine Path and immediately understood her purpose.

She also wanted to break free, but couldn't find a way to achieve the best results.

"Then I will trouble Your Majesty to protect me!"

After thinking for a moment, Li Zhirui did not refuse, and even added, "I wonder if Your Majesty has ever heard of the Way of the Earth Immortals?"

"Hmm, I've heard about it." Di Yuan was momentarily confused as to why he would bring this up, and a hint of bewilderment appeared on his face.

"This method is also somewhat helpful in gaining merit and mitigating karmic consequences."

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist!" A look of surprise and regret appeared on Di Yuan's face.

If she had paid more attention to these messages earlier, she might have already paid back a lot of the consequences.

Fortunately, it's not too late yet.

"Fellow Daoist Li, please follow me."

"Thank you for your trouble, Your Majesty." Li Zhirui treated this great deity with great courtesy.

In fact, the two are now at roughly the same level, but the Underworld and the Earth are both her divine domains, and her strength has been greatly amplified. He has no confidence that he can defeat her under these circumstances.

Moreover, the Li family has many local gods, including Li Mingyao. The Earth Goddess is their top superior, so even for their sake, Li Zhirui has to treat her with respect and maintain a friendly attitude.

With Di Yuan personally leading the way, the two soon arrived at their destination: "The Turbid Sea!"

Di Yuan explained, "Because evil and filth are constantly being produced in the world, this place is often filled with crashing waves, so it was simply named the Turbid Sea."

"Very apt."

Looking out, Li Zhirui couldn't see the boundary at all, and just as she said, it was easy to see the layers of waves surging in the dark gray sea.

He had only just entered this place and was still some distance from the filthy sea, but Li Zhirui could feel his body being eroded by the filth, as if it wanted to completely pollute him!
But as soon as he had a thought, a faint white light emanated from his body, and wisps of dark gray gas emerged from within him.

"This place is much more dangerous than I imagined."

After saying that, Li Zhirui nodded to Di Yuan and then flew out, officially entering the Turbid Sea!

boom!
As if it were sentient, it suddenly erupted with a powerful jet of black water, seemingly sensing a threat from him and trying to drive him away in this way.

However, now that Li Zhirui had arrived, there was no way he would back down because of this little danger. With a flick of his hand, pure purifying white light split it in two, causing the scattered turbid water to fall back.

Now that he had made his move, he had no intention of holding back. With a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of white lotus seeds and pure lotus seeds flew out.

Under Li Zhirui's control, the lotus seeds did not fall completely into the murky sea. Where they came into contact with the seawater, there was a layer of purifying spiritual light that served as nutrients, helping the lotus seeds to break through their shells and sprout. This was not only essential for the early growth of the lotus seeds, but also accelerated their growth rate.

Click!

The faint sounds of shells breaking together became quite distinct, even echoing within this unique space.

The distant Di Yuan watched this scene intently, seemingly learning something from it.

Before long, a few tender and fragile sprouts appeared in the originally oppressive gray-black world.

Upon discovering this situation, Li Zhirui did not hesitate to vigorously activate the purification laws to accelerate the growth of the purified white lotus.

Before long, the originally dark space seemed to be illuminated by a dazzling sun.

However, during this process, the turbid sea rebelled again. The seawater surged continuously, and the turbid energy began to gather, transforming into ferocious and terrifying beasts that attacked madly, trying to destroy the white lotus.

However, the moment they come into contact with the purifying spiritual light, they are dissolved and dissipate into wisps of black smoke.

Li Zhirui appears to have the upper hand, and Wu Zhuohai seems to be no match for him, but in reality, he is under tremendous pressure.

Only after taking action himself did he realize that he had greatly underestimated the difficulty of purifying the filth and impurities of the primordial spirit realm.

But there's no turning back now; even if he regrets it, it's useless. He can only grit his teeth and persevere.

Therefore, after consuming several top-grade pills to restore his mana, Li Zhirui once again unleashed his power, demonstrating his extraordinary comprehension of the purification laws!

After receiving a significant boost from the purifying power, those filthy and ferocious beasts were utterly no match for them and were swept away.

At the same time, the growth rate of the white lotus accelerated once again, and many of them had already formed lotus platforms. They began to break through the protection of the purifying power, and their roots penetrated into the turbid sea to absorb the filth and strengthen themselves.

Seeing this, Li Zhirui could finally relax!

Upon seeing this scene, Di Yuan in the distance had a sudden burst of light in his eyes. This purifying white lotus was simply an excellent spiritual object for cleansing the filthy sea.

If she had enough lotus seeds, could she follow suit and take this action?
With that thought in mind, Di Yuan made up his mind to ask Li Zhirui for some lotus seeds afterward and inquire about the relevant cultivation methods.

As more and more Purifying White Lotuses matured, the pressure on Li Zhirui lessened. The Turbid Sea, realizing that it was slowly dying, became increasingly irritable, and a large number of ferocious beasts emerged in a frenzy, as if it were fighting a desperate battle.

Unfortunately, Li Zhirui didn't give it a chance at all.

Rumbling--

He deliberately detonated the purifying sun that was suspended in mid-air, and instantly, a blinding white light swept across the world.

Even the Earthly Realm couldn't withstand such intense light and couldn't help but close its eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she found that there was no longer a single ferocious beast in the murky sea, only a large number of blooming white lotuses growing on the dark gray seawater.

One white and one black, mutually restraining each other.

Right now, however, the white side has the advantage.

As time went on, the number of purifying white lotuses increased, and the originally dark gray seawater gradually faded, eventually disappearing completely!
This means that the filthy sea, which symbolizes the filth and impurities that have accumulated in the Yuanling Realm over the years, will soon be purified.

The 'seawater' was rapidly becoming clear and disappearing.

"Huh? What is this?"

As the purification process came to an end, the sharp-eyed Li Zhirui spotted a spiritual object radiating a precious light in the 'seabed'.

This piqued his curiosity greatly; if he hadn't accidentally discovered the spiritual light, he probably would have missed this magical object.

Buzz

Before long, the last bit of stubborn evil and filth was completely purified.

He was completely relieved and flew away from the sky, returning to the vicinity of the Earthly Realm.

"Fellow Daoist, what skillful methods! What remarkable abilities! Truly astonishing and admirable." Di Yuan praised Li Zhirui endlessly upon seeing him fly back.

"Fellow Taoist, you are so complimentary."

Li Zhirui simply smiled modestly without responding, and instead said, "Now that this matter is settled, I will take my leave."

Upon seeing this, Di Yuan quickly called out, "Fellow Daoist, please wait! I have something to ask of you."

"What brings Your Highness here?" In truth, he already guessed the answer, but there were some things he still had to say to his guardian.

"I would like to ask you, fellow Daoist, to purchase a large quantity of purified lotus seeds, as well as all your insights into the laws of purification."

Di Yuan quickly explained, "I know this transaction is unusual, so I will compensate you generously in terms of spiritual items."

“Your Majesty is too kind. These are nothing at all. If Your Majesty needs anything, please just ask,” Li Zhirui said casually.

Shortly after he finished speaking, he handed over a large number of lotus seeds used to purify the white lotus, as well as a jade slip containing insights into the laws of purification.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

When Di Yuan expressed his gratitude, he did not forget to prepare a gift.

Before Li Zhirui was about to leave, she stuffed all the spiritual items into his arms.

"These are all things you deserve, fellow Daoist, so please do not refuse them."

Having said that, the avatar vanished. (End of Chapter)
