Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

When Li Debo heard this question, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but wonder if he had really gotten the time wrong.

But in the end, he said, "It's still early, let's wait a little longer, it'll only be a few days anyway."

The elder said nothing more, since it would only take a little time anyway.

However, the cultivators outside didn't have the patience to wait any longer, and more and more people set off to leave.

The Li family didn't take this seriously.

Whether these cultivators are there or not doesn't matter, and the Li family can't hear their complaints anyway.

By the afternoon, the once crowded place was now almost deserted, with hardly any cultivators to be seen.

Just as everyone had waited all day, with little hope left, and was preparing to disperse, Li Zhirui pushed open the door of the cave and emerged.

"I didn't expect to disturb so many people. It seems I've kept you waiting quite a while today."

He then turned his gaze to Jiang Fengwu and asked, "When did Fengwu return?"

"Just in the last few months."

"That's quite a coincidence," he said abruptly, ending their conversation.

Li Zhirui stopped chatting with the others individually, smiled at everyone, took out two storage magic treasures, and said, "Inside are my various insights and experiences from my cultivation throughout this life, as well as various spiritual items and pills that I have prepared to settle my karmic debts with my family."

This includes not only cultivation techniques, but also insights into alchemy and laws, making it extremely valuable.

“Rui Zu, your contributions to the family are evident to all and well understood. You do not need these spiritual items. On the contrary, the family owes you something. You should take them back.” As the head of the family, Li Debo quickly stepped forward to express the family’s attitude.

Li Zhirui simply smiled and shook his head, saying nothing more, only saying, "Take it; this is my last token of appreciation to the family."

"Yes." Li Debo opened his mouth and stammered, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to start. He could only respond and then silently accepted the two storage magic treasures.

When Li Zhirui successfully handed over the storage magic item, he immediately felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his body.

Then, he flew into the air and began to consume his merits to resolve the karmic ties between himself and the Yuanling Realm.

As his merits diminished, Li Zhirui's body became increasingly relaxed, giving people a feeling of ethereal bliss.

At the same time, heaven and earth also seemed to reject him, as if they did not welcome his existence and wanted to drive him away.

The specific outward manifestation was that Li Zhirui's body was constantly rising, but this was not his own doing; rather, it was the heavens and earth pushing him outward.

However, unlike Li Zhixuan, Li Zhirui did not feel any danger during the process.

Moreover, no laws of nature appeared during this process, and there were no unusual phenomena.

Just when he thought he would end his karma with the Yuanling Realm in such an ordinary way and thus achieve his goal of transcendence, the Heavenly Dao suddenly appeared!

Subsequently, a strong desire to retain him arose in Li Zhirui's mind, hoping that he could stay in the Yuanling Realm and not leave.

This abrupt and strange change made him frown subconsciously, and his body, which was rising into the sky, stopped.

Logically speaking, the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao and the emergence of its laws should be beneficial for them to improve their realm, and they should seize the time to comprehend them.

But many clansmen couldn't care less about that, because to outsiders, this scene looked like Li Zhirui had encountered some trouble in the process of transcending.

"When living beings transcend, will the Heavenly Dao intervene to stop them?" Qingpeng asked in a deep voice.

Although he would never see Li Zhirui again, he did not want his ninth brother's long-cherished dream of transcendence to fail.

Li Chengsheng, who was familiar with this, shook his head and said, "The existence of a Celestial Immortal is a tremendous pressure for the Yuanling Realm. Therefore, whenever a living being transcends, the Heavenly Dao will not obstruct it."

If it weren't for the need for them to repay karmic debts, the Heavenly Dao would rather drive most of the Celestial Immortals out of the Primordial Spirit Realm than allow them to remain there.

"Then what's going on?"

Everyone was puzzled.

Only Li Zhirui, who had "communicated" with the Heavenly Dao, knew why this was.

The reason is actually very simple: Heaven has taken a liking to him and hopes that he can stay in the Yuanling Realm and clean up and purify the filthy sea from time to time to relieve the pressure on the Yuanling Realm so that the world can use all its strength to improve its rank.

At the same time, the Heavenly Dao also promised him that as long as he was willing to stay, the Heavenly Dao would completely open the place of the origin of the laws to him, allowing him to comprehend it at will.

Furthermore, he will not encounter any tribulations when breaking through his realm in the future; it will be just like breaking through a minor realm, which he can do directly.

Li Zhirui remained completely unmoved by the conditions proposed by Heaven, his mind as still as an ancient well, without the slightest ripple.

These conditions are indeed very generous. Other celestial cultivators might not be able to resist the temptation and agree to them.

However, Li Zhirui rejected the Heavenly Dao's offer without hesitation.

The reason is simple: he doesn't want to be trapped here, because the end of the path is too short, only the Profound Immortal Realm!

Moreover, given his current level, if he really wanted to break through, it wouldn't take much time. As for the tribulations during the breakthrough, Li Zhirui was confident that he could overcome them safely.

After he breaks through to the Xuanxian realm, he will spend tens of thousands of years raising his cultivation level to perfection, and then stop there. This is not what he wants, nor is it what he pursues.

Fortunately, after being rejected, the Heavenly Dao did not get angry or upset. Instead, it quickly dissipated and stopped preventing Li Zhirui from severing the causal connection with the Yuanling Realm.

The figure that had been hovering in mid-air finally started moving again and flew towards the void.

Although it only lasted for a short while, it made many clansmen anxious and fearful, causing them to miss the opportunity.

As more and more karmic issues were resolved, Li Zhirui's ascent speed increased, and before long, he had reached the edge of the boundary membrane.

But the last thread of cause and effect was severed, and he took a step into the void, disappearing completely.

From then on, Li Zhirui had no further connection or entanglement with the Yuanling Realm.

“Ninth Brother/Father/Rui Zu…”

Following closely behind, the tribespeople who came up also began to shout.

Their purpose in speaking was not to persuade him to stay, but to seize this last bit of time and spend a little more with Li Zhirui.

After all, this parting today may be the last time we have the chance to meet again!

"Cultivate diligently and strive to transcend as soon as possible. Perhaps one day we can meet in the void." Facing the many reluctant and sad gazes, Li Zhirui also felt a little uneasy.

But this was a decision he had longed for for countless years, and he couldn't possibly regret it, nor could he ever regret it.

No! Given the importance the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Spirit Realm places on him, he could probably still maintain his aloof demeanor even if he went back now. "This is a unique method I created. It might be helpful for your future cultivation, but do not cultivate it before you reach the level of a Celestial Immortal and transcend!"

After saying that, he handed the jade slip to Jiang Fengwu for safekeeping.

Especially deities like Li Chengsheng, Li Chengshuo, and Qingpeng, if they rashly cultivate, they might incur divine punishment.

It might be because the chaotic gods and demons and the deities are in conflict, but Li Zhirui wasn't entirely sure of the specific reasons.

However, from another perspective, these deities are very suitable for cultivating the Chaos God and Demon Laws, because their mastery of the laws is more profound than that of other cultivators at the same level.

"Daddy!"

Li Chengshuo rushed forward, tears welling in his eyes, and cried out, "I will never see you again."

"Silly child, if you cultivate diligently, you still have a chance."

Li Chengshuo didn't speak, but just held his hand and silently shed tears.

"Ninth Brother! Take care on your journey! One day, we will surely meet again in the void!" Qingpeng was the most optimistic and had enough confidence in himself, believing that he could successfully transcend.

"Great! I'm really looking forward to that day!"

Li Zhirui smiled and agreed, then chatted with Qingxuan, Jiang Fengwu and the others for a few minutes.

He told Qingxuan to keep a calm mind and not to get anxious because of other people's breakthroughs. He said that if he really broke through, it would ruin his own years of hard work in cultivation.

She told Jiang Fengwu that the Dao of Arrays is also a great path, and she might start from that aspect.

Tell Qingpeng and Qingcang to take good care of the family.

"There's one more thing you can use as a reference, but you absolutely must not treat it as gospel!"

As he spoke, his expression instantly turned serious. He even set up a protective barrier nearby before saying, "In the coming era, it is very likely that all paths will decline and the divine path will flourish!"

"Rui Zu, why do you say that?!" Li Debo asked anxiously, unable to contain himself.

"This is just my guess, I'm not sure."

Li Zhirui shook his head and said, "Moreover, the general trend may not be irreversible. Those Xuanxian cultivators in the Immortal Path must have already gathered together to discuss countermeasures. Perhaps there really will be a day when they succeed."

That's why, while stating his speculation, he also added a reminder.

"I understand. The family will adjust its development direction according to future changes, but in short, everything will be based on preserving the family's heritage."

And that's about all there is to say.

"Take good care of yourselves! Cultivate diligently!"

Before leaving, Li Zhirui did not give a sentimental farewell, but simply said a heartfelt blessing to everyone.

Immediately, it transformed into a ray of light and vanished into the distant void.

Everyone only felt a flash of light pass before their eyes, which quickly disappeared into the thick gray fog. In just a few breaths, his figure was completely out of sight.

"Let's go back."

However, Jiang Fengwu and the others did not move for a long time. Instead, they stood in place, gazing in the direction Li Zhirui had left. Finally, Qingpeng spoke up, and only then did everyone set off to return to the Yuanling Realm.

Li Zhirui's detachment had a significant impact on the Li family, given his strength and ability to step up and resolve any issues the family faced.

Most importantly, he is the spiritual pillar of his people!
Therefore, for some time afterward, the atmosphere in the family was gloomy and somber, as if a long, continuous rain had been falling, with no sign of the sun shining.

However, it wasn't without positive effects. For example, people like Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo became even more diligent in their cultivation.

From the outside, the Li family is still the same Li family. It hasn't changed because of Li Zhirui's departure. After all, this is no longer the family it was many years ago when he was the only Celestial Immortal.

There won't be any villains from plays suddenly jumping out and saying they want to defeat the Li family.

Li Zhirui's transcendence was like a pebble thrown into the vast ocean of the Yuanling Realm, causing a few ripples, but they quickly disappeared without attracting much attention.

……

After leaving the Yuanling Realm, Li Zhirui looked around and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Unlike before, there is no longer a primordial spirit realm as a fixed coordinate to refer to and determine one's position.

But now that it's gone, and there's no new 'lighthouse' for him to determine his location, it's a very troublesome thing.

Therefore, Li Zhirui chose to give up directly and did not intend to spend much time on this matter. Anyway, he was alone, so it didn't matter if he couldn't find the right direction.

Moreover, he has more important tasks to do now and doesn't have extra energy or time for the time being.

Li Zhirui did not rashly begin to activate the Lotus Dao-Nourishing Method. His primary goal was to find a relatively safe place in the void.

However, there is no completely safe place in the void shrouded in chaos; just getting by is enough.

Therefore, it wasn't long before Li Zhirui found an area that met the criteria.

"Hmm, this place is nice."

It was calm and the area was large enough.

He was too lazy to spend any more time searching, so he simply decided to make this place his temporary retreat location.

The first thing Li Zhirui had to do was set up a defensive array, not necessarily to withstand the chaotic storm and turbulence, but at least to defend against some of the weaker attacks.

However, the most important thing is to conceal his figure and avoid being discovered by passing ferocious beasts, which would disturb his cultivation time.

Once everything was ready, Li Zhirui took out the Xuanlian, Gulian, Huanglian, Bailian, and the fused Qinglian one by one. Before he knew it, he had collected five different kinds of lotus seeds.

The reason his transcendence came a little later was that he accelerated the cultivation of the newly acquired Coptis chinensis in the space.

Based on these five types of spiritual lotuses, and with the addition of a large number of spiritual items, he began to set up the arrangement according to the secret method.

When everything was ready, Li Zhirui walked to the center of the Dharma gate and sat cross-legged.

After calming his mind and fully restoring his magical power, he began to practice the Chaos God and Demon Body Technique.

Before long, his body erupted with a powerful aura, which in the next instant transformed into a massive suction force, beginning to absorb all the spiritual objects nearby.

Li Zhirui's body is now like a elixir infused with the essence of various spiritual substances, and what he needs to do next is to absorb and digest all of these essences! (End of Chapter)
