Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

"This junior has important business to discuss with the three Spirit Ancestors, Qingxuan, Qingpeng, and Qingcang, and requests an audience with Ancestor Yao!"

Li Qingwen's figure soon appeared on the mountaintop, a place specifically for the Celestial Ancestors to cultivate, and also the place with the richest spiritual energy in the family.

His request for an audience was not answered immediately, as all three of them were busy cultivating. If it were not a coincidence, it would usually take some time before he could see them.

It can take anywhere from half a year to a few days, depending entirely on luck.

This time, Li Qingwen was quite lucky. A few days later, he received a summons from Qingcang.

"Greetings, Ancestor Ling."

Qingcang waved his hand and asked directly, "Speak, what is it that you urgently wish to see me about?"

He then recounted in detail the information that various forces were planning to target the Dongyuan Sect and that they had already contacted several elders of the family in private.

At first, Qingcang's expression was relatively normal. He could understand the ulterior motives of those forces, who simply wanted to take advantage of the Dongyuan Sect's decline in strength.

But upon hearing what followed, his brows furrowed.

For some reason, he felt that something was wrong with the matter, and he had some bad premonitions.

There seems to be something wrong with this!

"Huh!?" Li Qingwen was stunned, not understanding why his spirit ancestor would say such a thing.

“If those forces really want to form an alliance with the family, they shouldn’t contact the elders in private; they should visit them directly.” Qing Cang’s face was gloomy, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on what was wrong.

At this moment, Li Qingwen also realized that something was wrong.

Yes, if they really wanted to join forces with the family to deal with the Dongyuan Sect, they shouldn't have contacted the elders in private!
Even if they didn't want to attract attention, they should have used the elders to pass on the message to the family, instead of letting him notice something was wrong and then interrogating them.

"This might be a trap set for the family!"

As for who plotted this...

It's possible that the Dongyuan Sect is wary of various forces actually uniting, so they're thinking of taking the initiative to eliminate the potential threat; or it's possible that other forces want the Li family to be the vanguard to test the strength of the Dongyuan Sect.

In short, neither of these outcomes is a good thing for the Li family!
If they fall into the trap, the Li family will suffer heavy losses and be severely weakened, or even face the extinction of their lineage and the destruction of the family.

"What a vicious mind and scheme!" Li Qingwen said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with rage, after figuring it out.

"It seems that the coastal areas are about to be in turmoil again in the coming days. Tell the family to be careful and not to fall into other people's schemes or get involved in this mess," Qing Cang couldn't help but remind them.

"Yes! I will keep the words of the Spirit Ancestor in mind! I will also repeatedly remind all my clansmen to be careful in their actions and to think twice before acting in any situation."

At this moment, Li Qingwen was filled with relief. Fortunately, he had consulted the Spirit Ancestor before taking action; otherwise, his family might have truly fallen into a trap.

"Yes, we will take turns staying at the family headquarters during this period. If you encounter any problems that you cannot solve, come to us immediately!"

"Thank you for your hard work, my fellow spirit ancestors."

"Go."

Qingcang waved his hand and escorted Li Qingwen back to the family hall.

"Alas! These are truly turbulent times!"

On the empty mountaintop, the sigh was quickly carried away by the breeze.

When Li Qingwen told the elders that the Azure Spirit Ancestor disagreed with the decision to attack the Cave Abyss Sect, they all reacted with great surprise.

"Why would the Spirit Ancestor refuse? Isn't this a good thing?" an elder asked, puzzled.

He then shared Qingcang's speculation and said, "To be on the safe side, the family should not get involved in this matter."

In any case, the Li family is not lacking in inherited methods. In addition, before Li Zhirui transcended, he left several portions of all the spiritual objects and seeds he possessed to the family. Therefore, the Li family is not actually lacking in spiritual objects.

The reason we thought of dealing with the Dongyuan Sect was mainly because we thought it would be profitable, and because there were other forces involved. Our family would just follow along and assist in the operation, so the casualties wouldn't be too great.

But if this is a trap set by other forces, then the Li family is in trouble.

Upon hearing this, although everyone felt that the Azure Spirit Ancestor and the Clan Chief were overthinking things, they had no choice but to accept it since things had come to this point.

A few days later, several earth immortals secretly came to visit.

"coming!"

Li Qingwen received a jade slip from the clansman who was in charge of the formation. After activating it casually, he heard a conversation coming from it.

The talk of discussing important matters and their complete plan, guaranteeing a large number of precious spiritual items and techniques, sounded perfect, without any flaws or loopholes.

But he remained unmoved, simply instructing someone to lead them to the main hall for receiving guests, and to wait a short while before arriving.

Judging from Li Qingwen's attitude, it's clear that he doesn't take this matter seriously, let alone care about it.

Otherwise, they should have shown up immediately and warmly welcomed them.

Instead of being brought in and then left to their own devices after a pot of spiritual tea, as is the case now, it's rather strange and impolite.

The leader of the group, the He family Earth Immortal from Yumen, secretly thought to himself: This trip will probably not yield any results.

After all, it was clear from the Li family's attitude that they did not welcome their arrival, which made the subsequent invitations much more difficult.

After a while, Li Qingwen finally arrived late, saying sorry, but his expression showed no remorse whatsoever. "Sorry, sorry to have kept you all waiting."

“We understand that Fellow Daoist Li is busy with many things.”

"I wonder what brings you all here in secret?" he asked after they sat down.

"Fellow Daoist Li, we have come here today to bring extremely good news to your family."

Seeing that he asked so directly, the Earth Immortal also revealed his purpose, saying, "The strength of the Dongyuan Sect has greatly declined, but it still occupies a vast territory rich in spiritual energy, especially the various spiritual objects and techniques accumulated over countless years. These are all valuable treasures!"

"So we thought we could take advantage of the Dongyuan Sect's decline, unite and attack it to destroy it. If we succeed, your family will be able to obtain countless precious spiritual items!"

"Yes, as you say, it is indeed a very good idea, but..."

Li Qingwen first nodded in agreement with his words, then changed the subject and said, "Unfortunately, several of the family's ancestors are in seclusion and cultivating diligently. Without the Heavenly Immortal Ancestor leading the clansmen, I am really worried. So I'm afraid I will have to disappoint you all."

"Such a good opportunity, if we can seize it, we will definitely benefit greatly. Fellow Daoist, why don't you reconsider? I don't think those seniors would refuse, would they?" The other party didn't want to give up so easily and tried to persuade him earnestly.

"Thank you for your kind words, Fellow Daoist. What you said makes a lot of sense and is correct. However, unfortunately, our family is not strong enough. Our ancestors are either traveling or in seclusion, so we are powerless to participate in this opportunity."

The more they tried to persuade him, the more wary Li Qingwen became, and he was unwilling to agree. "However, fellow Daoists, rest assured, I will absolutely not tell a second person about this matter and leak your plans."

Given the current strength of these cultivators, they are more than capable of dealing with the Dongyuan Sect, at most suffering greater casualties. There's absolutely no need for them to so strongly invite the Li family to join them. Two thoughts flashed through his mind: either they intend to use the Li family as cannon fodder, or they have ulterior motives!

But neither of these options would benefit the Li family.

"This……"

The earth immortal wanted to continue persuading, but the leading earth immortal suddenly stood up and said, "Since you are unwilling to participate, then let's leave it at that. However, we still hope that you can keep this a secret."

"Of course!"

The cultivators were quite sensible. Since the Li family had not agreed, and they did not want to stay at Wanxian Mountain any longer, they quickly took their leave.

After returning to the family hall, Li Qingwen immediately issued a secret order, requiring all family members to be careful during this period and not to get involved in any conflicts.

Many clansmen, upon receiving the message, did not immediately understand what their clan leader meant, but they knew he was not one to speak without reason, so they dared not ignore it and kept it firmly in mind.

the other side.

The group of cultivators who left Wanxian Mountain quickly disappeared into the clouds.

"Fellow Daoist He, why did you stop trying to persuade them? Wasn't the Li family our chosen target?" the Earth Immortal questioned with slight dissatisfaction.

The Earth Immortal of the He family calmly retorted, "Didn't you notice that the few Li family elders who came and went earlier were nowhere to be seen?"

"What?!" Everyone was somewhat surprised.

If he hadn't mentioned it, no one else would have noticed.

"The Li family must have realized something was wrong, so no matter what we say, they will never agree. So let's not waste our energy."

"Ok."

The earth immortal didn't question them further, but instead said, "Since the Li family isn't falling for it, we'll have to find another target."

"Okay, let's go. Think carefully about which faction we should choose."

……

For the next period of time, the Li family kept a close eye on news related to the Dongyuan Sect, but they did not hear of anyone taking action against the Dongyuan Sect.

"As expected! Those cultivators are swindlers, using various pretexts to lure certain forces, but in reality, they might just rip them off at any moment!"

Li Qingwen was very fortunate that he had consulted the Azure Spirit Ancestor that day; otherwise, their decision might have harmed his family.

Then, the Li family received another message.

A small celestial power encountered a powerful enemy in the wild. The celestial being died on the spot, and the power also perished overnight!
"Ouch!"

Although there was no evidence, Li Qingwen still felt that it was the work of the group of cultivators who had come to the family earlier!
"It's a good thing we didn't agree, otherwise our whole family might have been in trouble."

At the same time, we should further restrain our clansmen and make them keep a low profile and be careful during this period.

Ultimately, it comes down to the family's lack of strength. If they had greater strength, they wouldn't need to be so timid.

……

Talking two ends.

Having meditated and cultivated in the void for many years, Li Zhirui not only consolidated his realm, but also reached a new level of understanding of the purification law.

With a thought, a dazzling pure white light appeared at his fingertips.

It looked no different from the previous purifying spiritual light, but during this seclusion to comprehend the laws, he actually comprehended a very powerful and strange attack technique.

The secret technique is extremely powerful, and it directly attacks the soul, erasing many memories within it and leaving it blank.

In other words, those who cannot withstand this secret technique will become mentally challenged idiots with blank minds!

Of course, achieving this level is not easy.

Moreover, Li Zhirui has only just mastered the secret technique and is not yet proficient in it. Perhaps its power will increase as he improves in the future.

After emerging from seclusion, he did not rush into training, because Qing Si was still in seclusion cultivating and striving to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm.

He has always been very tolerant in the face of such situations, and he is not in a hurry either.

Li Zhirui had only recently broken through to the Xuanxian realm, and neither his realm nor his cultivation could possibly improve much in a short period of time.

His main task now is to adapt to his current level of cultivation and strength!

Later, when encountering the Xuanxian ferocious beasts in the chaos, they will be able to exchange a few blows with them.

Li Zhirui didn't expect to kill his opponent right now, because he was well aware of his own strength.

But as long as he cultivates diligently, he will eventually catch up with and surpass the ferocious beasts.

After putting away the formation, he flew towards where Qing Si was in seclusion. Seeing that he was still trying to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm, he casually found a spot outside the formation and began his cultivation as well.

In a flash, Li Zhirui revealed his true form as a god and demon, a figure over a hundred feet tall, which was very conspicuous even in the void.

The reason he did this was that after breaking through his realm, his true body also advanced further. Not only did his size become larger, but his Chaos God and Demon True Body also grew further.

Before long, his true form will be fully grown, and he wonders what surprises it will bring him then. Li Zhirui couldn't help but think to himself.

……

The void has no sun or moon, so it is unknown how many years have passed. The Qing Si, which had been in seclusion for a long time, finally made a move.

To be honest, Li Zhirui was quite satisfied with his cultivation speed.

Although he has exceptional talent, it is already remarkable that he was able to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm so quickly.

When he saw the tribulation clouds begin to gather and quickly take full shape, it was only about an acre in size, much smaller than the tribulation clouds that were used for tribulation in the Yuanling Realm.

However, this does not mean that the power of the lightning tribulation will be reduced. On the contrary, the power of the lightning tribulation in the void is much stronger than that in the Great Thousand World!
Rumbling--

With a deafening roar, the first bolt of tribulation lightning followed.

This time, the tribulation lightning was unremarkable, with nothing special about it.

This tribulation wasn't too difficult for Qing Si; she easily dealt with several bolts of lightning. (End of Chapter)
