Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Once you master the Myriad Spirits Transformation Array, it's equivalent to possessing countless mutated spiritual objects, and it's very likely that only Li Zhirui possesses them.

Furthermore, the elixirs derived from this are only capable of being refined by him. If he were to refine a spiritual item with exceptional effects, one can only imagine the immense wealth that would be amassed.

And it's not a sudden windfall in a short period of time, but a continuous and sustained wealth!
Therefore, in his view, the value of this formation alone far exceeds that of the spiritual plant, and there is no need for any further compensation.

"No, let's keep things separate. Besides, you also have a part in this formation and restriction."

But no matter what Li Zhirui said, Fu Chenguang firmly disagreed with this method and insisted on finding a spiritual object to compensate him.

Unable to persuade the other party to give up the idea, he had no choice but to stop bringing it up and instead asked, "What do you think we should do next, fellow Daoist?"

"There's still almost a month before the secret realm closes, so let's hurry up and find as many spiritual items as possible."

Although their gains were already substantial, the opportunity was rare, and it would be a real shame to give it up.

"Then take a look around casually, but don't have too high hopes, fellow Daoist."

Li Zhirui's attitude was rather calm, because he knew that there were no more unclaimed spiritual items left in the secret realm; most of them had already fallen into the hands of cultivators.

He then recounted several major events that had occurred in the secret realm during their seclusion.

First and foremost, the spiritual treasures in the core spiritual field are very likely to be stolen by a few rogue cultivators, which will inevitably lead to a major battle.

Secondly, the cultivators' battles for spiritual treasures have become extremely fierce, and the flames of war have spread throughout the entire secret realm.

With their strength, they are certainly not afraid of these things, but they will eventually bring some unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, if they go out now, they are very likely to not obtain any spiritual items, but instead they will be drawn into war!
"So many things happened in the secret realm during your seclusion?" Fu Chenguang was somewhat surprised.

Li Zhirui only learned this a few days ago through the cultivators he had influenced, and he had the same reaction at the time.

"Let's go out and take a look. There's nothing worth lingering around here anyway, and we'll eventually have to leave the secret realm. Let's head straight towards the entrance of the secret realm."

"Then let's do as you say, fellow Daoist."

There was nothing to pack up, so the two of them wiped away their own aura and left the valley.

As for the monk at the entrance? They had already forgotten about him.

The situation in the secret realm was indeed as Li Zhirui had described: war raged everywhere.

Less than an hour after leaving the valley, the two encountered several major battles in succession.

Since they had no intention of taking advantage of the chaos, the two did not approach the battlefield, but only glanced at it from afar before continuing on their way.

In the time that followed, they encountered many restless cultivators, but once they saw the cultivation levels of Li Zhirui and Fu Chenguang, they suppressed their ulterior motives.

They were quite perceptive and knew that even if there were only two of them, they were definitely not people they could afford to offend.

However, tens of thousands of cultivators poured into the secret realm, among whom were quite powerful cultivators, some of whom were at the peak of the Human Immortal realm or the Earth Immortal realm.

Therefore, a few days later, Li Zhirui and Fu Chenguang encountered the first wave of cultivators who attacked them!
The opposing team was a small group of more than a dozen people, including one Earth Immortal, three Perfected Human Immortals, and the others who were also Human Immortals or Loose Immortals.

Judging from their apparent cultivation levels, they were indeed superior to the two of them, so when they saw that only two people were acting, they already felt that they had the upper hand.

"Hand over your storage treasures and we'll spare your lives! Otherwise, this will be your burial ground!" Upon receiving the order, one of the immortals immediately jumped out and spoke loudly and arrogantly, acting like a bully in the tiger's den.

"You think you can take us down with just a few people? You're dreaming." Fu Chenguang curled his lip and said with a face full of disdain.

Although Li Zhirui didn't say anything, his dismissive attitude only made people angrier.

"I'll give you a chance. Come at me all at once. If you can injure me, you'll win. But if you can't, I won't take your lives. Just hand over your storage treasures obediently."

"How brave!"

"They're absolutely courting death!"

Those extremely arrogant words made Fu Chenguang the target of attacks from most of the cultivators. Only the Earth Immortal, perhaps out of self-respect, did not participate and stood aside watching.

Li Zhirui watched this scene with ease and confidence, having great faith in his abilities and not at all worried that he would lose.

Seeing that they were being so blatantly ignored, the cultivators' anger intensified, and they immediately launched an attack.

In an instant, various attacks came rushing in, crashing down on Fu Chenguang, even engulfing him entirely.

"That's all there is to it; all they know is how to boast."

They felt that it was impossible to survive such an attack! As long as the attack subsided, they could obtain the storage magic item.

Then they turned their attention to Li Zhirui, their eyes filled with undisguised greed, and shouted, "Your companion has met with misfortune, and you witnessed the whole process. If you want to live, be proactive and hand over all the spiritual items."

"Aren't you all too confident? What makes you think that the attack just now killed him?" He looked at them with the eyes of someone looking at idiots, the faint sarcasm on his face mocking them.

"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! Since you're asking for it, we'll grant your wish!"

Having said that, he was about to take action and unleash his supernatural powers.

But even faster than them was Fu Chenguang's attack!

A seemingly simple bolt of lightning blasted those cultivators away; not one of them survived.

With this kind of strength, how dare they spout such nonsense?

As for the only Earth Immortal, Fang Weidong, he seemed to have noticed something from Fang Weidong's actions just now, and his expression was rather unpleasant. Although these two were still Human Immortal cultivators, they possessed the strength of Earth Immortals!
Because his strength far surpassed that of the others, the attack just now did not cause him any harm.

And what about this one?

Fang Weidong turned his gaze to Li Zhirui, and this question immediately came to mind.

In fact, he already had the answer in his heart. After all, the way the two got along was not like master and servant, but more like companions and fellow Daoists.

However, if the two sides are not on the same level, this kind of interaction is generally not the way they would get along.

Thinking of this, Fang Weidong gasped inwardly. Such a situation, where the strength exceeded one's own cultivation by a whole realm, was extremely rare.

As a result, I encountered two of them today! What I thought would be a sure win has now changed dramatically, and I could even lose here if I'm not careful.

Fang Weidong couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but who could have known about such an extremely rare situation beforehand? They could only say they were unlucky.

If it weren't for the negative impact of him escaping alone, which could lead to disappointment among other disciples and the sect, he would have already left and stopped considering how to capture the two of them.

Furthermore, if such a situation were to actually occur, it would certainly be exploited by those with ulterior motives and spread widely, which could bring enormous trouble to his sect.

However, continuing to fight these two would not only prevent them from winning, but could also put them in danger.

Therefore, the best solution is to leave with the majority of people!

Only in this way could he save face for himself and his sect, and also save his own life.

Having made up his mind, Fang Weidong silently prepared his escape route. His internal magical power was accumulating, and his supernatural abilities were being activated. He was just waiting for the right moment to take most of his disciples away.

Unfortunately, Li Zhirui saw through his every move.

With a thought, he appeared beside him and said with a smile, "Sir, you'd better stay here obediently and not make any trouble, or I won't blame you for not being careful."

His sudden appearance startled Fang Weidong, causing his expression to change drastically and even his breathing to slow down. By the time he came to his senses, his heart was filled with despair.

Because he realized that he had underestimated the strength of these two!

Their strength was far greater than that of ordinary Earth Immortals. He didn't even know how they got close to him. If they hadn't spoken up, he wouldn't have even known that there was someone next to him!
Fang Weidong couldn't understand how these two cultivators at the peak of the Human Immortal realm could rival newly promoted Earth Immortals. Although such prodigies were rare, they weren't entirely nonexistent.

But if their strength could improve further under these circumstances, that would be too bizarre!
Moreover, in theory, such beings should be famous and known throughout the world, but before this, there was not a single piece of news about the two in the Myriad Rivers Realm, as if they had appeared suddenly.

So who exactly are these two people?!

Seeing the man's expression constantly changing—one moment shocked, the next fearful, and then lost in thought—Li Zhirui frowned.

He knew this person was beginning to doubt their identities.

Left with no other choice, he had to knock the man unconscious, interrupting his thoughts and preventing him from delving deeper into the matter, thus avoiding the possibility of him actually guessing their identities.

"Fellow Daoist, stop toying with them and resolve this matter quickly."

Although Fu Chenguang didn't understand why Li Zhirui was suddenly urging him, he knew that the other party must have a legitimate reason for doing so. He didn't ask any questions, but simply increased the power of the supernatural abilities he was using to end the battle as soon as possible.

He had previously harbored a bit of a desire to play tricks on everyone, so his attitude wasn't serious enough. As a result, the pressure on those cultivators wasn't too great, and they still had the strength to launch a counterattack.

But as Fu Chenguang became serious, the cultivators instantly felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, making it hard to breathe, and they could even clearly see the figure of death.

The battle was over in less than a quarter of an hour.

Without exception, Fu Chenguang sealed the dantian and divine sense of all the dozen or so cultivators with a restriction, and then with a wave of his hand, he took all their storage magic treasures.

"Ahhh!"

Without him making any other move, the divine imprints they left on it were erased. The excruciating pain caused by the injury to their souls made them uncontrollably let out a series of shrill screams.

Li Zhirui had already pocketed the Earth Immortal's storage treasure, and even while unconscious, he couldn't help but let out a painful groan.

"Let's go."

Before the words were even finished, the two figures had completely disappeared.

Shortly after they left, the restrictions on the cultivators lost their effect, and their expressions were very complex, a mixture of fear, anger, and a little relief.

"Uncle-Master Fang/Grandmaster Uncle-Master!"

They then spotted Fang Weidong not far away and rushed to his side, trying to wake him up.

The secret realm is fraught with danger now. If something happens to him, their situation will become even more perilous!
"Well!"

Fang Weidong shook his head, dispelling the chaos and pain in his mind. After a moment, he asked, "Are you all alright?"

"It's nothing, it's just that all our storage treasures have been taken away." His tone was filled with unconcealed despair and sorrow.

They lost not only the spiritual treasures they had acquired this time, but also the wealth they had accumulated over the years.

After this ordeal, they can be said to have become destitute!
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

Although he was also heartbroken about his loss, you see, he had several celestial spiritual items in his storage magic treasures, but now they had all fallen into other people's hands.

Fortunately, he survived.

"Uncle-Master, why are those two so powerful, yet they're only Human Immortals?" a disciple asked.

What he really wanted to say was why even his martial uncle was no match for them, but to save face, he couldn't ask directly.

“I was also surprised. Logically speaking, this shouldn’t have happened.”

Even if those two had extraordinary talent, it would be impossible for them to cross a major realm and so easily defeat an Earth Immortal.

There must be something wrong with this!

"Perhaps these two were originally Earth Immortals, but used some kind of secret technique to conceal their cultivation level?"

He himself thought this guess was unlikely, because the aura emanating from the two when they fought was that of immortals!
But as far as he knew, there was no secret technique to conceal one's aura that could be maintained after using magical power.

But Fang Weidong couldn't think of any other reason besides this one.

"Then, Uncle-Master, what should we do next?"

Unable to get an answer, the group stopped dwelling on it and instead asked about another important matter.

"Ugh!"

Upon hearing this question, Fang Weidong sighed and said, "There's not much time left before the secret realm closes. Let's see if we can snatch some spiritual items from other cultivators to make up for this loss." (End of Chapter)
