Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

However, Li Zhirui soon accepted the four men's revenge.

Now is not the time to dwell on things that have already happened. What he needs to do is to acquire as many treasures from the ruins as possible before a large number of cultivators arrive, so that his trip will not have been in vain.

Therefore, Li Zhirui immediately put these cultivators out of his mind and stopped paying attention to them, and began to unleash his full power in order to break through the ruins as quickly as possible.

But things took a turn for the better than he expected!

Because after he dealt with those puppets and truly stepped inside the ruins, he discovered that it was not a simple ruin. It was actually divided into several layers of space, and the forces guarding the ruins ranged from weak to strong.

In other words, the formation and puppet that Li Zhirui just solved only corresponded to the test of the early stage of Earth Immortal.

After passing the first test, he obtained three treasures, all of which were mid-grade Earth Immortal level spiritual objects. One was a Bright Moon Pearl, which could be used to absorb the essence of the moon for cultivation, alchemy, etc., and it was also a good defensive magic weapon.

The other two spiritual items are a geomagnetic elemental stone and a cold fire berry, both of which are quite precious treasures.

"Trouble!"

When Li Zhirui realized something was wrong, he planned to turn around and leave immediately, not even wanting the three treasures.

Unfortunately, a high-level array prevented him from withdrawing.

He tentatively attacked, only to find that even with his full power, it would take him a considerable amount of time to successfully break the formation and escape.

The reason Li Zhirui didn't want to continue and chose to leave was because he discovered that the ruins were not simple and involved too many things.

It wasn't a trap, because if it were, with his strength he wouldn't need to worry too much about his safety, let alone be so anxious. But this was a selection process.

A selection process about passing on traditions...

The fact that such a vast and complex site could be set up suggests that the forces behind it must be extremely powerful.

It's important to know that the first test is the Earth Immortal realm; without the cultivation of an Earth Immortal, you don't even qualify to enter.

The array that truly enveloped the entire ruins was even more troublesome for Li Zhirui, a Xuanxian (a type of immortal).

Such a force would at least have Xuanxian cultivators, and might even have Jinxian cultivators.

Despite their immense power, they were still destroyed, leaving only ruins to preserve the embers of their legacy. Who knows how many troubles and causes were involved behind this?

As an extraterrestrial being, he naturally didn't want to get involved.

However, because of the appearance of those cultivators, he did not observe carefully and was eager to obtain the spiritual items in the ruins, which ultimately led to him being trapped inside.

Left with no other choice, Li Zhirui had to accept the spiritual items and prepare to continue his journey.

Since there's no way to evacuate, let's venture out and see what's going on with this ruin.

He didn't actually want to receive this inheritance, because accepting it would mean accepting karma, which he naturally didn't want to be associated with.

The problem now is that he has difficulty breaking through the formation and leaving the ruins. So he can only compose himself and head towards the second level of the ruins, hoping to leave in another way.

After Li Zhirui entered the next level of the ruins, a force suddenly appeared in the first level of the ruins, like an invisible hand, restoring all the arrangements to their original state.

And shortly after he left, another group of human immortal cultivators arrived at this place and discovered the cultivators who had arrived even earlier than them.

They tried every means to attack, but could only cause a slight ripple in the defensive formation. At this rate, it would take an unknown amount of time to break the formation.

"A few."

Among the later cultivators, one couldn't help but speak up sarcastically, saying, "If you can't even break through the defensive array, I advise you to hurry back. This ruin is destined to be out of your reach."

"Humph!"

"How much stronger are you than us? If we can't break through, do you think you can?"

Fortunately, both sides were quite rational and knew that they didn't have much time left and that a large number of cultivators would arrive soon.

So they just made a few sarcastic remarks and didn't actually start a fight.

On the contrary, the two sides cooperated tacitly, joining forces to attack the formation, each thinking of first removing the obstacles and then vying for the treasures in the ruins.

The idea was good, but unfortunately their strength was still too weak, and they couldn't break the formation in a short time.

Later, they gave up, unwilling to continue expending their magical power, and instead prepared to conserve their strength so that they would have enough power to compete for spiritual treasures after entering the ruins.

That will be the most intense and dangerous time!
As time went by, more and more monks came to this place.

When more than a hundred immortals attacked at the same time, the defensive formation was finally breached by their combined efforts.

Then they saw three precious Earth Immortal-level spiritual artifacts appear before them.

If Li Zhirui were here, he would find that the situation was different from what he had encountered. For some reason, this group of cultivators did not have any puppets blocking their way!
But the situation before them was completely different from what they had imagined. They thought that as long as they broke the formation, they could explore the ruins to their heart's content and search for treasures.

However, all they found were three spiritual items and a door that emitted a faint spiritual light. The rest of the place was just earthen walls and stone walls that could be seen from one end to the other, making it impossible to explore or find treasure.

They realized the relics were different, but only a few monks knew their true identity.

Because heritage relics are extremely rare! Ordinary cultivators may never have even heard of them and have no idea what they look like.

Therefore, the cultivators who knew the true situation of the ruins were shocked and overjoyed. They immediately activated the communication talisman, hoping to send the message back to their respective forces and have an elder with a higher realm and stronger strength come to take the inheritance in the ruins.

Unfortunately, the ancient formations prevented them from sending a message, thwarting their plan.

Meanwhile, the other cultivators began to fight fiercely over these three spiritual items, each determined to fight to the death.

Casualties soon followed.

Only a small number of cultivators avoided the crowd and began to grope around on the edge, seemingly searching for something.

At the same time, they were also aware of their own strength and did not choose to pass through the gate to enter the next test.

Because they know that preserving historical sites does not mean safety; on the contrary, it is often more dangerous.

Until the first Celestial Immortal cultivator arrived!
"Uncle Liu!"

Upon recognizing the newcomer, several cultivators within the ruins were immediately intrigued and shouted, "Uncle-Master, please don't come in yet! Quickly inform the sect that this is a heritage site!"

Even if many cultivators heard it, they were still completely bewildered.

Of course, they could guess what it meant just from the words, but it was the first time they had heard it, so they found it quite novel.

"A legacy site?" You should know that any force capable of setting up a legacy site must have at least a Xuanxian (a high-level immortal) overseeing it!

The celestial being's eyes were instantly filled with ecstatic joy. This news was truly an immense opportunity for their celestial sect.

But soon he realized that this was not just an opportunity for the sect, but also a crisis!

Because this ruin is now widely known, it's impossible to keep the news out of the public eye. More and more cultivators will definitely come here, and there's a good chance that a more powerful force will emerge.

If they have already obtained the inheritance, will those forces let it go? Impossible!
But he was unwilling and reluctant to give up the ruins now.

"Alright, let's inform the sect first and let them come up with a solution."

He sighed, and a ray of light flew from his palm, quickly disappearing from sight.

Only then did the celestial being officially enter the ruins.

For him, a formation that would require the combined efforts of hundreds of cultivators to break was shattered in a matter of moments.

At the same time, several puppets appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

They were easily defeated and quickly dealt with, yielding three Earth Immortal-level spiritual items. A passage to the next level also appeared before them.

"Uncle-Master, how can we leave the ruins? Will there be any danger?"

"Don't worry, this ruin shouldn't be set up by the demonic forces. Unless you die during the trial, there shouldn't be any other dangers. And if you don't advance to the next trial after a certain time, you'll be directly expelled. Just wait patiently."

Without hesitation, he stepped across the doorway and vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.

……

the other side.

After entering the second level of the trial, Li Zhirui found no array in front of him, only a dozen puppets with strength comparable to the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm.

The arrangement of the heritage site is certainly not so simple and crude. It is only because strength is crucial to the rise and growth of a force that strength is frequently tested.

He dealt with the puppets very quickly, in less than a quarter of an hour.

Then three Celestial Immortal-level spiritual items appeared in front of Li Zhirui. He only glanced at them before putting them away.

He was no longer interested in these 'low-level' spiritual objects; he only wanted to leave the ruins as soon as possible.

Therefore, they quickly entered the third level of the test.

This time, in addition to the puppets that test their own strength, there is another test.

Furthermore, the pattern has changed; it is no longer a puppet of the early stage of the Profound Immortal realm, but rather a puppet of the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

The other test is a formation used to test one's character.

Those puppets at the late-stage Celestial Immortal level didn't put much pressure on Li Zhirui; he dealt with them all in just a quarter of an hour, which took a little longer than before.

However, he hesitated about the test formation concerning his character.

He was unwilling to expose his soul and state of mind to an unknown formation, since no one knew if there would be any problems.

If there really is a problem, then wouldn't he be in trouble?
Li Zhirui could understand, but while he understood, he was still reluctant to do it himself.

Are there any other ways to pass the third level of the test besides this?
He decided to try a different approach; if all else failed, he would have to leave the ruins, which suited him perfectly.

But can he really leave so easily?
After dealing with the puppet, a long time passed, but Li Zhirui remained stuck on the question of testing his own character with an array; he was unwilling to take the test.

But even after so much time has passed, the secret realm has not directly rejected him.

Just as Li Zhirui was about to continue waiting, a portal suddenly appeared, and several Celestial Immortal cultivators walked out from it.

"Huh? Someone's already here?"

They all thought they were fast enough, but they didn't expect that someone had already reached the third level of the test before them.

Fortunately, he seemed to be held back by something and had not yet passed the test, giving them a chance to surpass the other side.

But soon, problems arose!
Those Celestial Immortal realm puppets were nothing to Li Zhirui, who was at the Profound Immortal level, but they were still a bit troublesome for them.

Even with their combined efforts, they couldn't subdue all the puppets in a short time.

Li Zhirui watched indifferently as the last puppet fell. Then, the celestial beings arrived at the formation that tested their character and learned all the trials to pass.

Now they could understand why he was standing there alone.

The importance of the soul cannot be overstated. To invest one's soul into such an unknown formation is nothing short of a gamble!
What should I do if I lose, or if something else happens that causes problems with my soul?
Therefore, the best approach is not to participate in the test.

However, not every cultivator was like Li Zhirui, hoping to leave as soon as possible and not wanting to continue participating.

So in the end, some people still tried to put their souls into the formation.

Outsiders don't know what they went through, but a long time has passed, so long that people mistakenly believe they have failed.

But in the end, everyone's souls returned to their bodies safely, as if all their previous worries were just that they had overcomplicated things, and the actual situation was simple and safe.

Those celestial cultivators naturally wouldn't persuade Li Zhirui to participate in the test, since if he passed, wouldn't that just create more opponents for them?

So he walked silently toward the gate and proceeded to the next level of testing.

Li Zhirui remained completely unmoved; he was determined to wait for the ruins to actively expel him.

During the waiting period, many celestial beings entered one after another, and each one who passed the test left safely, constantly proving that the formation was very safe and had no hidden dangers.

But he remained where he was, showing no intention of moving to the next level.

Besides distrust of the formation, there was another important reason: if he continued, he would have to reveal his true cultivation level and strength, and Li Zhirui did not want to expose his identity.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he actually got a Xuanxian cultivator!
The person didn't pay much attention to him, and after quickly passing the test, entered the fourth level of the ruins.

"It's been so long, can't you leave yet?"

Shortly after he uttered his question, a repulsive force erupted, finally expelling him. (End of Chapter)
