Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

The sermon just now helped Li Zhirui resolve many of his doubts about cultivation, but he didn't expect it to end so soon. Naturally, he felt reluctant and sad.

But he also knew that he was already very fortunate to have this opportunity and should not ask for more.

So I quickly composed myself and waited for things to develop further.

"Thank you, teacher/ancestor/leader, for spreading the teachings."

Just then, the figures on each prayer mat expressed their gratitude to the Taoist priest in blue robes at the head of the table, using various different titles.

Li Zhirui was a beat slow, choosing the most distant title, respectfully addressing him as "Master," and bowing in gratitude.

"It is a teacher's duty to impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts. There is no need for further formalities. Go back and cultivate yourselves."

The Taoist in green robes made no move, but all the other figures in the futon where Li Zhirui was located vanished instantly.

The figures on the other six prayer cushions remained, casting various glances at him with different meanings: some with smiles, some with warmth and kindness, some with cold scrutiny, and some with indifference.

This sudden change startled him. He had thought it was a remnant of history, something that had already happened, and that he had just happened to be involved by chance. But now it seemed that was not the case.

"Are you currently undergoing the test of the Tongtian Sect's lineage in the Dao Spirit Realm?" the Taoist in blue asked.

Li Zhirui was utterly astonished. This Taoist priest, whose location was unknown, actually knew his current position and what he was doing! What profound level of cultivation must he possess to do that!
Could this be the legendary being who has attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit, the strongest, the most supreme, and the highest existence?

He dared not be negligent in the slightest and replied respectfully, "Reporting to senior, I am indeed undergoing a test. I do not know why I have suddenly come to this place. Please forgive me."

"There's no need to be so careful."

The Taoist priest shook his head slightly, sighed, and said, "The Tongtian Sect of the Dao Spirit Realm is a lineage passed down by my disciples. Originally, it was to seek opportunities for further advancement, but unexpectedly, they died."

"You came to this chaotic world by chance while undergoing the test of inheritance. It is your own destiny. Therefore, it doesn't matter if you don't intend to accept the inheritance."

He had countless disciples, with varying levels of cultivation, ranging from the weakest Loose Immortal to the top-tier Great Luo Realm.

Moreover, many of his disciples were not in the same world. In order to provide them with guidance from their teachers and help them resolve their confusion about cultivation in a timely manner, he put some thought into creating a special formation.

No matter how far away they are, as long as the sub-array is activated, He can use the mother array in His hand to pull their consciousness into this space.

Within the heritage site where Li Zhirui resides, there is such an array, which is constantly active. He is currently undergoing a test of inheritance and has inexplicably become involved in it.

Of course, whether bringing him to this space and having him listen to this sermon was intentional or unintentional on the part of the Taoist priest in blue...

He felt it was more likely the former, after all, this person was an all-seeing being, and it was impossible for Him not to know Li Zhirui's identity.

As for what He said, he couldn't just listen to it passively. Besides, before that, he had gradually become inclined to accept the inheritance, including the related cause and effect.

There was no way around it; the mere fact that he inherited the Golden Immortal's legacy was enough to change his mind. Moreover, after making contact with him, he realized that the existence behind the Tongtian Sect was far more complex than just the Golden Immortals.

"Since I am fortunate enough to have encountered this lineage, I should rebuild the tradition, enhance the reputation of our sect, and promote its prestige!" Li Zhirui solemnly promised.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The Taoist in green laughed heartily, but he wasn't angry. He chuckled and scolded, "I never expected you to be so cunning!"

"Don't worry too much about the Dao Tong inheritance. Just settle your own karma. The most important thing is to find the reincarnation of my disciple."

"This disciple does not know how to distinguish the reincarnation of that senior."

"You are connected to him by karma, so don't worry about not being able to find him."

"The disciple understands."

"Go back now, and hopefully we'll have the chance to meet again in the near future."

Having said that, without giving Li Zhirui any time to react, he sent him directly back to the Dao Spirit Realm Ruins.

When he came to his senses, he realized that his trials had ended without him even noticing.

Or rather, the trial ended when he went to the Chaos Heaven, and he was just waiting to return from there.

After all, what test carries more weight than the personal approval of a cult leader?
When Li Zhirui reappeared in the ruins, the remnant soul stared at the scene before it in disbelief, its face filled with shock. It exclaimed incredulously, "You passed the test?! How could it be so fast!"

Keep in mind that it had only been half an hour since he entered the checkpoint.

Over the years, the ruins have appeared several times, and each time someone has reached the final test, but none of them have been able to complete the test within the allotted time and can only take away some spiritual items.

Even a Golden Immortal appeared among them, but he was still a few days slower in completing the task and ultimately had to regretfully declare failure.

'Could it be that getting a very high score in the previous stage is such a big help in the final test?' This thought couldn't help but pop into its mind.

To avoid revealing any flaws, Li Zhirui didn't say much, but simply nodded calmly and said, "Let's go, take me to the place where the inheritance is finally placed."

"Okay, come with me."

This remnant soul also has the responsibility of guiding successors to obtain the inheritance, but it has no right to object to cultivators who have passed the test.

Soon, guided by it, Li Zhirui arrived at a jade platform with three jade slips placed on it.

"The ancient blue jade slip in the middle is the core inheritance of the Tongtian Sect, including cultivation techniques, supernatural powers, cultivation experience and insights; the smooth white jade slip on the left records some information about the regions and spiritual objects of the Dao Spirit Realm, similar to an encyclopedia."

"The contents of the black jade slip on the right are the various arts of cultivation, such as alchemy, weapon crafting, and formations. Among them, weapon crafting and formations are the most important, and they have a very profound lineage."

"At the same time, this jade platform is also the core of controlling the entire ruins. After refining it, as long as someone is in the ruins, even a Golden Immortal can be directly expelled!"

"Besides these, the ruins also contain two treasure troves, inner and outer, containing countless spiritual items, as well as various infrastructure such as the sect's main hall, ancestral hall, and alchemy room. After the sect leader refines the jade platform, there will be plenty of time to learn about them slowly."

It can be said that, apart from lacking disciples and cultivators, the entire Tongtian Sect no longer needs to spend time and money to acquire anything else.

"Two Xuanxian have entered the ruins!" the remnant soul suddenly said.

He originally planned to take a look at Li Zhirui among the three inheritance jade slips first, because he sensed something was off from the introduction just now.

What makes that lustrous white jade slip, which records the spiritual objects and regions of the Dao Spirit Realm and is similar to an encyclopedia, qualified to be placed together with the other two jade slips? There must be some clues that it is unaware of.

But upon hearing this, he immediately changed his mind and began refining the jade platform.

The whole process went incredibly smoothly, and he took control of the jade platform in less than a quarter of an hour.

With a thought, he fully activated the ancient formation. With a hum, a burst of spiritual light erupted, repelling all the cultivators. Even the two Xuanxian cultivators, no matter how much they struggled, could not change the final outcome.

"What just happened?! How did we all get out here?"

"I'm about to pass the test and receive the spiritual item! Why are you suddenly kicking me out!"

……

The scene was chaotic, with angry shouts, resentful howls, and disappointed sighs all mixed together, creating a deafening roar in the underground passage and making people dizzy.

The two Xuanxian cultivators looked the worst. They had just entered the ruins and only passed the first test before being teleported out.

This behavior makes it seem as if someone is deliberately targeting the two of them.

The two exchanged a glance and, unwilling to give up, flew toward the ruins, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get past the thin layer of spiritual light and enter again.

In this situation, there is only one possibility!
That means someone has already received the inheritance, which is why other cultivators are no longer allowed to enter!

Who on earth could have received the inheritance so quickly?
After some questioning, the two learned that there was already a Xuanxian cultivator inside before them, and that the cultivator was progressing very quickly.

"It seems that this is the person who has inherited the legacy."

Another immortal asked the celestial beings, "Do you still remember what he looked like?"

"I remember. I remember."

Immediately, someone used magic to depict Li Zhirui's appearance, but this was not his true appearance.

Regardless of his appearance, neither of them recognized him and had no recollection of him.

"Who is this person?!"

Just as the two were deep in thought, a gasp suddenly came from the crowd.

"Look! Aren't the ruins disappearing?"

Everyone looked over and found that, just as he had said, the ruins were disappearing rapidly like bubbles.

In just a moment, it vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

"Alas! It seems we sea lions arrived too late, and someone has already beaten us to it."

The immortal sighed and flew away.

The other one didn't linger either, leaving shortly after.

Among the remaining cultivators, some were unwilling to give up and were still trying to find clues, but most of them were quite self-aware. After all, even Xuanxian couldn't do it, so how could they be stronger than Xuanxian?
……

at the same time.

Li Zhirui, who had manipulated the ruins to follow the earth's veins and leave his original location, stopped moving after shaking off the group of cultivators.

Fortunately, the ruins were located deep underground, posing no immediate risk of exposure, so he could examine the three jade slips with peace of mind.

The first thing he looked at was not the most important jade slip in the middle, but the lustrous white jade slip on the left, which he found somewhat strange.

But soon, Li Zhirui opened his eyes, frowned, and muttered, "Could it be that I'm being paranoid? Is there really nothing special about it?"

He didn't quite believe the result, but he also trusted his previous judgment, so he checked the contents of the jade slip again. This time, he was even more careful and attentive, and he made sure he hadn't missed anything.

Just as he was about to finish reading it, still without any clues or gains, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and he noticed something strange about the jade slip.

Then, following this line of thought, one can see a dramatic change in the contents of the jade slip. What was originally just an encyclopedia introducing spiritual objects has become a very profound and mysterious Taoist scripture!

Even with Li Zhirui's current level of understanding, he felt dizzy and unable to fully comprehend it.

And this should be the most valuable and precious of the three jade slips!
'But this is probably not something I can see right now...'

With this thought in mind, he stopped forcing himself, carefully put the jade slip away, and after a short while, he went to examine the ancient cyan jade slip, which was the jade slip that the remnant soul had mentioned, recording many of the Tongtian Sect's inheritances.

The contents here are no different from what he said; whether it's the cultivation techniques, supernatural powers, or cultivation experience, they are all extremely valuable.

This can also be of great help to Li Zhirui.

However, after seeing that Taoist scripture, the vast difference between it and the other methods made him feel somewhat bored.

When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head. He never expected that a mere Xuanxian would be so picky about the Golden Immortal inheritance.

The remnant soul looked at him, puzzled. Did this person look down on these inheritances?!
"By the way, didn't you say before that the Tongtian Sect had a mysterious origin? You couldn't tell me before, but you can tell me now, right?" Li Zhirui suddenly asked.

Although he already had the answer in his heart after the sermon, he still wanted to hear what the Tongtian Sect was like in his eyes.

"The Tongtian Sect... it's not a native force of the Dao Spirit Realm, but a sect founded here by a Golden Immortal of extraordinary birth..."

As he spoke, a look of reminiscence and remembrance appeared in the eyes of the remnant soul.

……

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

In the chaotic heavens.

The figures on those six prayer cushions remained.

"Teacher, why do you think so highly of that person?" The female cultivator, whose body was in a state of chaotic transformation, recreating the elements of earth, wind, water, and fire, asked with some curiosity.

Not only her, but the others were also very curious about this matter.

Others might not know, but these direct disciples were well aware that the fellow disciples who went to the Dao Spirit Realm to leave behind their inheritance did not go there voluntarily to seek opportunities, but were dispatched and designated by their teacher.

At first, they couldn't understand why they had arranged for a junior brother to go to that ordinary world. If he wanted to break through his bottleneck and achieve Taiyi, he should have gone to a better world.

However, not long ago, the teacher, who hadn't preached for thousands of years, suddenly summoned all his disciples, along with a mysterious immortal cultivator who wasn't even a fellow disciple but was seated on a meditation cushion. (End of Chapter)
