Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Although these were all just Li Zhirui's guesses and he didn't know the truth, the more he thought about it, the more likely it was to be true, otherwise many things simply couldn't be explained.

For example, how did so many chaotic beasts know in advance where it would undergo its tribulation, and how did they all rush there one after another to protect it?
The Great Way is impartial and just; it would never do such a thing. It could only be its own doing.

For example, even though the tribulation has been over for so long, why are those chaotic beasts still stuck in the same place? They even inexplicably received a revelation and started killing each other.

This revelation was most likely created by it, in order to cultivate a Gu King.

Therefore, the ferocious beast that broke through to the Golden Immortal realm did not develop intelligence after the breakthrough, but rather already possessed intelligence long before!
If Li Zhirui's guess is correct, then that Golden Immortal Beast is terrifying.

Not only are his supernatural powers terrifying, but his cunning and scheming are even more frightening, as he was able to cause such a huge incident.

But how did it manage to deceive the Great Dao and remain in the chaotic space of the Profound Immortal Realm after breaking through to the Golden Immortal Realm, instead of entering a higher level of the void?
Li Zhirui didn't ask any more questions about the chaotic beast, because it truly knew nothing and had little value to him.

Once he had determined this, he did not hesitate to kill it without asking whether it was willing to submit or follow him.

The reason is simple: it is ultimately different from the Azure Rhinoceros.

At that time, the Azure Rhinoceros was still very weak and had not been born for long. Li Zhirui was confident that he could completely subdue it and then cultivate their feelings for each other over a long period of time.

However, this chaotic beast has fully matured! It possesses the realm and cultivation of a Xuanxian.

If it weren't for its injury, its strength would even surpass his!

Faced with such a being, Li Zhirui did not think he could make it truly follow him, especially since he had taken advantage of its weakness. It was inevitable that it would feel resentment and hatred. Once it recovered, he would have to be wary of it at all times.

It would take an unknown amount of time and effort to truly subdue it.

For him, the benefits were not significant.

It would be better to just kill it and take all its spiritual treasures.

A chaotic beast in the Xuanxian realm that has awakened its intelligence is covered in valuable items, especially the crystallized source of laws that has been produced within its body!
As we all know, the Chaos Beast is uniquely endowed with a natural affinity for a law, and the crystallization of the law's origin is the Chaos Beast that has gained sentience. During cultivation, it condenses a portion of the law's origin, which can be regarded as an inner core.

If it falls into the hands of a cultivator whose laws are compatible with their own, it can rapidly increase their mastery of the laws, thereby boosting their own realm and cultivation level.

So the chaotic beast didn't even have time to react, nor did it expect this outcome, before it died at Li Zhirui's hands.

"Pity."

He took out the crystal of the origin of the law and saw that, unsurprisingly, it was not the law of purification. Although he was a little disappointed, he was already prepared.

After all, there are countless laws of the Great Dao, so how could one easily encounter a chaotic beast that has developed intelligence and is compatible with the law of purification?
Even Li Zhirui suspected that there were no high-level purification beasts in the void, because the combat power of the purification law was relatively weak, and without mastering strong strength, it would be difficult to survive in the void, let alone improve one's realm and cultivation.

"Is this the Frost and Snow Law?"

Putting aside other thoughts, I began to observe the type of crystal.

This can be considered a branch of the law, and should be classified as a subordinate category of the Snow Law.

As for its value, Li Zhirui couldn't judge it either, since he had never encountered a crystallized source of the Law of Action.

"Ninth Brother, what should we do next?" Qing Si, who had witnessed the whole process, felt no sense of sorrow for the fallen, even though they were of the same kind.

Because he knew very well that if they kept this ferocious beast, their future actions would not be as convenient as they were now, and it could be said that it had sown the seeds of future trouble.

"Taking advantage of the relatively small number of chaotic beasts in the void, it is the most appropriate course of action to go into seclusion and cultivate for a period of time."

After all, most of their training was supposed to be on the Chaos Beasts, but a large number of them fell into the scheme of that Golden Immortal Beast and became Gu worms in its Gu Refining Furnace, greatly reducing their numbers and so the probability of encountering them was naturally not high.

If you choose to go on a training journey now, you might find some spiritual objects scattered in the chaos, but that has nothing to do with training; it's just playing around.

“Okay.” Qing Si agreed without hesitation. For him, breaking through to the Celestial Immortal Realm was the most important thing right now, and this was exactly what he wanted.

The two arrays were set up, emitting a faint spiritual light, but they quickly disappeared, as if they had completely merged into this chaos.

"If I have the chance, I need to find a way to buy two sets of Xuanxian-level formations," Li Zhirui muttered to himself, looking at the formations whose spiritual light was no longer as bright as before.

It's not that the formation Jiang Fengwu painstakingly created was bad, but as his realm and cultivation improved, it became somewhat unsuitable for the void he inhabited.

But in the next instant, he suppressed the thought and focused all his attention on comprehending the laws, trying his best to improve his realm.

……

In the chaos, without sun or moon, after an unknown amount of time, Li Zhirui suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the chaos outside the formation.

The reason he suddenly regained consciousness was not because he wanted to end his cultivation, but because the warning array he had set up earlier had been triggered!

It is still unknown whether it was triggered by a chaotic beast or a creature from another world.

However, Li Zhirui quickly realized that it was a being from within the world, not a chaotic beast more commonly found in the void.

Moreover, this creature is in a very bad condition. It is unclear how it became seriously injured, and if it does not receive timely treatment, its life may be in danger.

"I beg the fellow Daoists here to lend a helping hand. I, Mingyun, will be eternally grateful and will certainly present you with a generous gift."

While Li Zhirui was still hesitating, he directly pointed out the two nearby formations and the two people inside them.

Or rather, he chose to fly this way after discovering the existence of a formation here.

Although it still requires taking a gamble to see if the other party is willing to make a move, for him, this is one of the few glimmers of hope in the vast chaos!

After thinking for a moment, Li Zhirui decided to lend him a hand.

It wasn't out of pity for Mingyun; it was more about wanting to gain more benefits from him!
Although killing him would allow him to directly obtain his storage magic treasure, there are some things that cannot be obtained simply by killing him, or even if he did obtain them, Li Zhirui would not understand or comprehend them.

For example, one could obtain some teachings and scriptures from him.

Moreover, this person is only at the mid-stage of the Profound Immortal realm. Although his cultivation is a level higher than his, he is not without the power to resist. If this person turns against him, he has enough strength to ensure his safe departure.

"I can save you, but I don't know how you will repay me?"

Mingyun quickly spoke up, saying, "What does my friend need?"

"I need you to tell me all the methods you know, as long as they are teachable."

"Okay!" He replied almost immediately, so quickly that one might doubt he had even heard the sentence clearly.

"Then please make your Dao oath and your Heart Demon oath, fellow Daoist." The Dao oath is impartial, but also rigid. If a reasonable loophole can be found, there will be no punishment. But the Heart Demon oath is not like that. On the contrary, it is very strict and flexible, in order to devour more living beings.

"By the Great Dao above, I, Mingyun, hereby swear that as long as Li Zhirui saves me, I will teach him the laws that I can impart."

After confirming that there were no problems, Li Zhirui took out a healing pill and gave it to him, thus fulfilling the request first.

After taking the pill, almost instantly, he felt a surge of power reviving within him. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he hadn't expected the pill to be so effective.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, fellow Daoist!" Mingyun said gratefully.

But Li Zhirui shook his head indifferently and said, "There's no need for that. This is just a transaction."

Mingyun paused for a moment, but then quickly realized what was going on and nodded. That would be even better; it would just be a transaction, and there wouldn't be much contact between them.

Then, he took out several jade slips and used his divine sense to inscribe various methods into them.

In particular, in order to make Li Zhirui understand, he used his divine soul power to inscribe the entire process, so that even if the other party did not recognize the language of his world, he could understand it directly through his divine soul.

However, this made Mingyun's face turn very pale. His injuries had not yet healed, and he had done something that was so exhausting to his soul. It was good that his injuries had not worsened.

"These are all the methods you desire, fellow Daoist."

Li Zhirui took all the jade slips and scanned them with his divine sense. He found that there were many complex and precious methods inside, and nodded with great satisfaction.

"This pill is to help you restore your consciousness."

One moment it seemed like a warm gesture, but the next it changed drastically, and he said coldly, "The transaction is now complete. Please leave this place as soon as possible and do not disturb our cultivation."

They didn't care about his injuries at all; they just wanted them to leave.

Upon hearing this, Mingyun left without saying a word. Although the words of expulsion angered him, the other party did not do anything excessive.

Asking him to leave is a reasonable request, at most it's just a bit unreasonable.

He said nothing, silently transforming into a ray of light and departing.

Seeing that he had truly left, Li Zhirui did not enter the formation to resume his secluded cultivation, but instead woke Qing Si from his cultivation.

"Ninth Brother, what's wrong?"

I'll explain on the way. Let's leave here first.

As he spoke, he began to dismantle the formation and then quickly left the area.

His purpose in doing this was to prevent Mingyun from having other culprits behind her. If they didn't leave, they would really be dragged into trouble.

You should know that if they could injure a mid-stage Xuanxian cultivator like that, the murderers must be even stronger!
Along the way, Qing Si realized why she had to leave in such a hurry.
He felt that Li Zhirui's actions were reasonable.

After all, it would be too dangerous for them to provoke a powerful person.

"Ninth Brother, are you going to continue your seclusion and cultivation?"

"Since you're already awake, let's just forget about it."

Li Zhirui thought for a moment and said, "Moreover, so much time has passed, the group of chaotic beasts must have already decided who is victorious, and the void is no longer as peaceful as before."

"Alright, I'll make sure I fully grasp all the insights I have now first."

Moments after the two of them left, a group of three appeared in the chaos.

“Besides the aura of Mingyun, there seem to be traces of other living beings here!” one of them said in a deep voice.

"Ignore them, continue the pursuit of Mingyun!" The cultivator in the middle frowned, but then thought it wouldn't affect them, so he ignored him.

"Yes!"

……

at the same time.

Not too far from the two, in the Chaos, Ming Yun, who had left first, hid in this void and began taking pills to heal her injuries.

After taking the pills refined by Li Zhirui once again, he couldn't help but exclaim, "The effects of these pills are truly amazing. I should have tried to trade for more of them; my injuries would have healed much faster."

Although he can no longer use magic to trade, he has countless spiritual items from his birth world, which are extremely precious and coveted by an alchemist. The other party will definitely agree to the trade.

Unfortunately, they've separated now, and it won't be easy to run into them again.

"Never mind, let's not think about it too much."

He immediately gathered his scattered thoughts and continued taking the medicine to heal his injuries.

But the period of peace was short-lived. Before long, the three people who were chasing him arrived nearby!
"Mingyun is hidden within this chaos."

"Search! Find him for me!"

The leader of the cultivators had a grim expression and said, "How dare you steal the spiritual treasures of the Youfeng Zhang family! Even if you have to escape into the void, we will bring you back."

Mingyun immediately noticed their presence, silently left the chaos, and fled into the distance at top speed.

'Damn it! How did they manage to detect my movements so accurately in the void?' As he fled, he felt a pang of regret.

If he had known it would turn out this way, he shouldn't have risked stealing the Zhang family's spiritual artifact.

"He has already escaped!"

Mingyun had only been gone for a quarter of an hour when one of the three noticed him and knew the direction he had fled in and the approximate distance.

In less than half an hour, they caught up with Mingyun, who was fleeing for her life.

"Damn it!"

Mingyun, realizing they were right behind her, growled in despair, "These lunatics! They're just some Celestial Immortal level spiritual creatures! Why are they chasing me relentlessly, determined to kill me before considering their mission complete?" (End of Chapter)
