Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Li Zhirui first spent several days preaching to the beings in the space and giving them some guidance on their cultivation.

In fact, one cannot break through realms within this space. However, in order to allow them to improve, he promised them that he would let them go out to break through when needed.

After all, the birth of demon spirits is relatively rare and scarce. It would be a great pity if they died because their cultivation level failed to break through and their lifespan ended.

After resolving these issues, Li Zhirui focused all his attention on the Five Elements.

"Five Elements, how well have you comprehended the transformation technique I taught you before?"

That secret technique was relatively simple, and given that Wu Xing was the bearer of the Five Elements Minor Realm, his cultivation level wasn't that low.

Therefore, in theory, he should be able to master that secret technique.

But after so many years, he doesn't seem to have made much progress, which makes Li Zhirui very curious.

"Ninth Brother, I've completely mastered it, but..."

Wu Xing hesitated for a moment before saying, "I want to improve my aptitude, which is why I've been putting off taking human form."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui looked at the single spiritual fruit among countless others and understood why it was so enormous.

Moreover, he couldn't say anything more, because the idea of ​​the Five Elements is very normal, and everyone hopes to have good aptitude.

After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke up and reminded her, "Five Elements, I know what you're thinking, and there's nothing wrong with it."

"But your foundation isn't something that can be built up overnight. Once you take human form and enter the void and chaos, there are other ways to further improve yourself."

"On the contrary, it would be a bad choice for you to waste too much time on this now."

Moreover, the better the aptitude, the more difficult it is to transform.

"I understand, thank you for the reminder, Ninth Brother. I'll prepare a bit more and then transform." Wu Xing clearly took his words to heart. After considering it for a long time, he finally chose to adopt his suggestion.

"As long as you can figure it out."

Li Zhirui also breathed a sigh of relief. His biggest worry was that Wu Xing would continue to insist on his choice, hoping to gain better aptitude.

The problem is, they are not in some vast world, but in the void.

The power of the Void Lightning Tribulation is much stronger than that of the Lightning Tribulation within the world!

For someone like Wu Xing, who has almost no combat experience, facing such a powerful lightning tribulation is far too risky.

"If you are ready, tell me in time, and I will send you out of the space to undergo tribulation and take human form in the void."

"Okay! Thank you for your concern, Ninth Brother."

Li Zhirui smiled and shook his head. He then tried to contact Yu Hong, taking advantage of the time he had now to discuss his next training.

"Yu Hong, what are your plans now?"

"what?"

Yu Hong encountered this somewhat inexplicable problem as soon as he came out, and he didn't react for a moment.

"You should be able to break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm by now, right? What are your plans after you break through?" Li Zhirui didn't offer any options, leaving it entirely to him to decide.

He only now understood what the question was, but because he hadn't really considered these things before, he couldn't answer it for the time being.

To break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm, one needs to return to the Primordial Spirit Realm to undergo tribulation, because he is also a being of the Primordial Spirit Realm and has not yet settled his karmic ties with it.

This is something that cannot be changed unless he does not intend to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm.

But as a cultivator, the opportunity to break through is right in front of you, how could you not choose it?!
But what should be done after the breakthrough? Yu Hong couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Should they continue to follow Li Zhirui, stay with the Li family in the Yuanling Realm, or go independent and train in the void?

If Yu Hong chooses to continue following Li Zhirui, it won't be as helpful as before, because when he transformed into the Chaos God-Demon Dao Body, he changed his foundation and no longer cultivates the "Earth Spirit Dao Record".

In other words, the difficulty of advancing to the next level in the Five Elements Minor Realm has become much greater.

After all, it takes a massive amount of resources and time to upgrade a minor world to a middle world.

If it's related to Li Zhirui's cultivation, then he will definitely work hard for it and do everything he can to achieve it.

But now it doesn't matter much anymore. The Five Elements Minor Realm has been reduced to one of his 'dantian', used specifically to extract mana.

So if you follow him, you'll have to train in the void and chaos. Your safety will be guaranteed, but your cultivation might not be so smooth.

Because of Yu Hong's condition, a method of cultivation that involves sitting in meditation and contemplation, and seclusion and arduous practice, is more suitable than wandering around and experiencing trials in various places.

If he stayed in the Yuanling Realm, as a vast world, the laws would still be very complete and perfect. However, Yu Hong would not be able to enter the origin of the Heavenly Dao and directly comprehend the laws as he did in the Five Elements Minor Realm.

In other words, he has to work as hard and painstakingly as other living beings to comprehend the laws and slowly improve his realm.

Moreover, because Yu Hong's chosen path of cultivation requires him to comprehend many laws, his progress in cultivation level will definitely be extremely slow!
Of course, he could also choose to abandon this method of cultivation and only comprehend the principles of Yin and Yang.

However, this rendered all his previous efforts futile.

The last option is to train alone in the void and seek opportunities.

However, this was also the first option that Yu Hong ruled out. The reason was simple: he knew how difficult the path of cultivation was for rogue cultivators.

He might not even be able to guarantee his safety, let alone comprehend a large number of different laws, which would make it even more difficult for him to improve his cultivation.

He was mainly struggling with the first two options.

Following Li Zhirui through trials in the void, a life of constant wandering, isn't very suitable for him, but his potential would be much higher. Moreover, when breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm, transcendence would be considered, making the process less difficult.

Because Yu Hong rarely comprehends the laws or absorbs spiritual energy in the Yuanling Realm, the cause and effect naturally do not take offense. However, if he chooses to stay, it will not be so easy for him to transcend in the future.

Both options had their advantages and disadvantages, and he couldn't decide for a moment.

He stood there with a furrowed brow, unable to make up his mind.

……

"No rush, take your time to think it over."

Li Zhirui saw Yu Hong's dilemma and, to avoid him making the wrong decision in a hurry, decided to give him more time to consider it.

"Okay, I'll contact you again once I have an answer." "Alright, then think it over carefully."

After resolving the various issues within the space, Li Zhirui led Qing Si back to the void, waiting for them to make a decision before proceeding further.

"Ninth Brother, you're such a kind person."

As soon as Qing Si came out, she couldn't help but say, "It's fine if you take care of Wu Xing and Yu Hong, but why waste so much time looking after those few demon spirits?"

“The space is so large, if they weren’t in charge of cultivating the spiritual creatures, we would have to spend a lot of time doing it ourselves,” Li Zhirui explained.

Although the space is mysterious and the planted spiritual creatures don't need special care to grow well, someone still needs to be responsible for harvesting them when they mature!
Moreover, he is currently nurturing the spiritual creatures he obtained from the Myriad Rivers Realm, so someone is even more needed to do this.

Therefore, those demons and spirits are still very important!
Especially given the incomplete spatial laws and the high difficulty of the birth of demon spirits, if they die due to the end of their lifespan, there is a high possibility of a shortage of manpower.

"I didn't consider things comprehensively enough." Qing Si fell into reflection. He only saw Li Zhirui's efforts and the demon spirit's gains, but he didn't think about who the biggest beneficiary was behind it all.

"Let's go. The void is vast, and we've probably only explored less than one percent of it."

"Isn't it said that Yu Hong is going to return to the Yuanling Realm to undergo tribulation and break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm? This aimless wandering will probably cause some trouble when he goes back."

Li Zhirui shook his head and said, "After I transcended, I lost all contact with the Yuanling Realm, not to mention that I am now a Xuanxian and have entered another void, so I don't know how to solve this problem. I will think of a solution after Yu Hong has thought it through."

They can't just stand still waiting for him, can they? That's unrealistic.

After listening, Qing Si also felt that this made a lot of sense and had no other opinions.

"Let's go."

The two continued walking through the void, seeking opportunities for training. They didn't expect to improve their cultivation or realm, but at least they would gain something instead of wandering aimlessly in the chaos.

But now, the situation has changed again!
Previously, the chaotic beasts in the void were rampaging, making it easy to encounter them. But now, so many beasts seem to have vanished. For a considerable period of time, not a single beast has been encountered. The contrast before and after is simply too great.

"Ninth Brother, the situation is a bit strange right now. Is something about to happen again?" Qing Si couldn't help but feel uneasy.

In fact, Li Zhirui also felt that something was wrong, because the current situation was indeed somewhat abnormal.

"I don't know either. Let's keep exploring. Maybe we'll find out the answer soon."

Of course, it's also possible that the reason will never be found.

Fortunately, they weren't so unlucky, and eventually found some clues.

And this wasn't something they learned from any living being, but rather from a severely wounded, yet sentient, chaotic beast.

That's right! By chance, Li Zhirui and Qing Si encountered a chaotic beast that had developed sentience.

It was their luck that they stumbled upon the place where it healed its wounds.

"Damn it!"

The beast couldn't help but mutter a curse the moment it saw the two appear.

In its current state, it was no match for Li Zhirui, so the ferocious beast was initially worried that it would be attacked and its life would be in danger.

But to his surprise, Li Zhirui didn't attack him. Instead, he asked curiously, "You've developed intelligence. Do you remember how you were born?"

He desperately needed a 'local' to answer his questions, so upon realizing that the wounded beast in front of him possessed sentience, he immediately changed his mind, refraining from attacking it and instead trying to understand what was happening in the void.

It was initially unwilling to speak, but Li Zhirui warned it before it calmed down and obediently answered.

How did your intelligence come into being?

The ferocious beast was equally bewildered, saying, "It's because not long ago, a member of my clan broke through to the Golden Immortal realm. After listening to a sermon there, I comprehended the spiritual light and laws left over from the breakthrough, and eventually, without realizing it, I gained sentience."

"Then why do ferocious beasts gather when a chaotic beast breaks through to the Golden Immortal realm, and why are they able to help you develop sentience?"

"I do not know either……"

A look of reminiscence appeared on its face as it said, "I knew in the depths of my heart that doing this would be beneficial to myself, and knowing the other party's location during their tribulation in advance would give me ample time to arrive."

Faced with these problems, even though it was born from a chaotic beast, it didn't know the specifics.

Seeing that it didn't seem to be faking it, Li Zhirui decided to believe its explanation for the time being. Besides, he figured he probably wouldn't get any more information from that angle, so he changed the subject.

How did you get injured like this?

To everyone's surprise, the beast showed a resentful expression when this was mentioned, and said, "I was being chased by another chaotic beast. Because I was no match for it, I ended up like this."

"What exactly happened?"

"The source is still that senior of the same clan who broke through to the Golden Immortal realm. At that time, there were very few chaotic beasts that had developed intelligence, and we were very attractive to those chaotic beasts that were still ignorant. We were like a great tonic. As long as they devoured us, they could become stronger."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui frowned and asked, "You're not lying?"

"No! I'm telling the truth."

"If, as you say, the chaotic beasts split into two factions and fought each other, then chaos could not be as peaceful as it is now."

Having said that, he stared intently at it, wanting to see how it would react.

"Because they are currently concentrated in a certain area, rather than scattered throughout the chaos, that's why you haven't encountered a second chaotic beast besides me for so long?"

Li Zhirui asked in surprise, "It's still here?! That golden immortal beast is still here too?"

"They should still be there. I was the only one who chose to flee because I was injured in the attack. Before that, they were all still there."

"Something's not right! Something's definitely not right!"

How could that ferocious golden immortal beast still remain in this chaotic space, instead of ascending to the chaotic space of the golden immortal realm?
And those chaotic beasts haven't left yet...

Suddenly, a terrifying thought flashed through Li Zhirui's mind.

The reason these chaotic beasts knew in advance the location of the Golden Immortal beast's tribulation was not because the Great Dao told them, but because of some kind of supernatural power or a device that had been prepared in advance.

That space was the Gu-raising furnace it had chosen!

Those chaotic beasts were the Gu worms it released, causing them to fight each other endlessly until a Gu King was born, which it then seized to reap all the spoils of victory! (End of Chapter)
