Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

You must know that your master has countless disciples, but not every disciple can obtain the formation for their soul to enter the Chaos Heaven.

Therefore, those disciples who are able to sit on the meditation cushions to listen to the teachings are at least valued by their own teachers.

Yet a cultivator who is not even a disciple of the Shangqing Dao is qualified to enter the Chaos Heaven, which shows how much his teacher values ​​him.

Faced with the questioning gazes of his disciples, the Shangqing Sect Master did not hide anything and said, "This child is destined to be with my Shangqing Sect, and it seems that there are more and greater karmic connections behind him."

"Even the teacher knows nothing about it?" The smiling figure, who exuded an honest and simple air, asked with some surprise.

The others also showed expressions of shock and surprise. In their minds, their teacher was an omnipotent being, but now he couldn't even see through a Xuanxian cultivator born in a remote world.

"Yes, so I intend to take him under my wing so that I can observe him better in the future."

The leader of the Shangqing Sect added, "This matter should not be publicized too much, so do not discuss it with outsiders."

"We will remember this," everyone replied in unison.

They then returned to their respective places, leaving only the Shangqing Sect Leader alone in the Chaos Heaven, lost in thought.

……

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

The Realm of Dao and Spirits.

Li Zhirui manipulated the ruins to appear in a relatively remote place, where there were few people around.

"Sect Leader, shouldn't you be trying to recruit more disciples and enhance the prestige of the Tongtian Sect? Why did you come to this remote place?" The remnant soul didn't quite understand his actions.

Moreover, in its view, Li Zhirui possesses the cultivation level of a Xuanxian Realm, coupled with the ancient formation, so even if he were to face a Golden Immortal, he would not be afraid.

Therefore, there's no need to be overly cautious in your actions; it's okay to be a little arrogant and unrestrained.

“I haven’t even properly inventoried what’s in the ruins yet, and I’m already rushing to take on disciples. It’s making things too complicated, which isn’t a good thing.” Li Zhirui had his own plans.

Moreover, having just learned about the origins of the Tongtian Sect from the remnant soul, he became even more certain that a huge secret was hidden behind this inheritance, perhaps involving the most powerful beings in the universe.

Therefore, he maintained his cautious style.

"By the way, how should I address you?" Li Zhirui asked, as it wasn't appropriate to keep calling him Remnant Soul.

Unexpectedly, he was stunned when he heard the question. After a long while, he said dejectedly, "The sect leader can just call me Wan Sheng."

It is derived from the combined remnants of tens of thousands of cultivators.

"it is good."

Li Zhirui raised an eyebrow. He knew there must be a story behind this, but he didn't press further. Instead, he said, "Let's go. Take me to the treasure vault first."

Wan Sheng could not refuse the new sect leader's request and could only lead the way.

Before long, after passing through a series of buildings, the two arrived at the entrance of the treasure vault.

"Sect Leader, we will need your help to break the seal now."

Before a successor appeared, Wansheng still had certain authority over the ruins, but with the birth of the new leader, those authority rights were completely stripped away.

Now, it can only freely enter and exit places without restrictions or seals; it can no longer go anywhere else.

However, it felt no dissatisfaction whatsoever; on the contrary, it was very happy because it meant that the shackles and constraints on its body had almost disappeared!

Next, as long as he assists the new leader in rebuilding the Tongtian Sect and making it strong enough, he can regain his freedom and be reincarnated, no longer living as a remnant soul.

Compared to being reincarnated and embarking on the path of cultivation again, the privileges granted by the ruins are nothing.

"Ah."

Li Zhirui responded, and with a thought, the jade platform, which had transformed into the sect leader's jade seal, appeared. He gently pressed it against the treasure vault door, and with a creak, the door opened.

The moment the two entered the treasure vault, they were dazzled by the shimmering, dazzling light, and it took him a moment to adjust.

"I never imagined that after so many years, these spiritual items in the treasure vault would still be in such good condition, looking exactly the same as they did at the beginning," he said with some surprise.

Wan Sheng explained, "There is a formation in the treasure vault that seals the spiritual light of spiritual objects. However, it consumes a great deal of spiritual energy. Previously, the ruins were located in the earth veins, which could convert the absorbed earth energy into spiritual energy. But now that they have left the earth veins, the spirit-locking formation will not be able to continue to be maintained for long."

"There should be enough time."

After all, the ruins were sealed off before, and there was only a remnant soul inside. Even if they wanted to consume spiritual items, they were powerless to do so.

However, now that the Tongtian Sect is about to be re-established and recruit disciples, these spiritual items will no longer be left unused. Instead, they will be consumed rapidly. It is impossible for them to be used up before their spiritual light dissipates.

Li Zhirui wandered around the treasure vault, examining the uses and effects of these spiritual items. Besides learning about them, he also wanted to see if there were any that he could use himself.

He spent most of the day exploring the treasure trove and recorded all the spiritual items, totaling 35,782.

Among them, the number of spiritual items is the largest for the Human Immortal and Earth Immortal ranks, followed by the Loose Immortal and Heavenly Immortal ranks, then the Profound Immortal rank, and the Golden Immortal rank has the fewest spiritual items, with only a few dozen.

Of course, these spiritual objects are already a huge fortune for them.

If the news were leaked, who knows how big a storm it would cause? Being hunted down by a Golden Immortal is a very real possibility.

In the process of recording the spiritual objects, Li Zhirui took the ones he could use. Some could be used for alchemy, some for enhancing his natal magic weapon, and some for helping with cultivation. It can be said that he considered everything very comprehensively.

"The Tongtian Sect's foundation is truly astonishing!" he couldn't help but exclaim, especially considering that this was the Tongtian Sect after it had suffered a devastating calamity.

Wan Sheng shook his head and said, "Sect Leader, you may not know this, but the spiritual items stored in the treasure vault now are less than one-tenth of what they were at their peak."

So how exactly did the powerful Tongtian Sect perish?

Could it be that they were destroyed by a joint effort of other Golden Immortal forces in the Dao Spirit Realm?
A hint of doubt flashed through Li Zhirui's mind, but he didn't delve into it. Some things, even if you don't ask, you'll find out later.

"Sect Leader, please follow me! There's still an inner treasure vault we haven't looked at yet. Every single spiritual item inside is a precious rare treasure." Wan Sheng said.

"Let's go then." We've seen everything we needed to see; there's no need to waste any more time.

Compared to the outer treasure vault, the inner treasure vault has an additional, extremely powerful protective barrier. Only Li Zhirui can open it with the sect leader's jade seal. Anyone who trespasses will be sealed by the barrier.

When he entered, even though he had prepared himself mentally, he was still astonished by the spiritual objects in the inner treasure vault.

Although the quantity is much less, it seems to be no more than a hundred items, but each spiritual item is of very high quality, with the worst being a rare spiritual item of the Xuanxian level!
The most precious items were several spiritual objects that surpassed the Golden Immortal level, and their grade should have reached the Taiyi level, which was two major realms higher than Li Zhirui's.

What surprised him most was that one of the five Taiyi-level spiritual artifacts was closely related to the purification law!
Therefore, he took it without hesitation and put it in his pocket.

This is a magical object resembling white jade. Its name is not even recorded in the treasure vault, so he has even less reason to know.

All that is known is that whether he comprehends the spiritual object now or refines it in the future, it will greatly help Li Zhirui's realm and cultivation.

He also registered these spiritual items, but apart from the white jade, he did not take any other spiritual items.

Because if he were to take the remaining treasures at will, given his current level of cultivation, it would likely result in a waste.

After resealing the two treasure vaults and closing the gates, Li Zhirui thoroughly explored the ruins, gaining a more comprehensive understanding and knowledge of the area.

"Sect Leader, what you need to do next is rebuild the Tongtian Sect, and then open its gates to recruit disciples, right?" Wan Sheng brought up this matter again, and for some reason, he seemed even more eager.

"The first thing to do is to choose a good location for the mountain gate!" Things must be done step by step.

Moreover, the sect's gate is extremely important to a force. If chosen well, it can greatly promote the sect's development, but if chosen poorly, it may have a counterproductive effect.

Therefore, the choice of the mountain gate is absolutely not to be taken lightly!

Given their current location in this desolate wilderness, it's impossible to rebuild the mountain gate here.

"The sect leader is right. I was too impatient." Wan Sheng did not try to deny it, but directly admitted his mistake.

Let's just wander around and take a look.

Neither of them was very familiar with the Dao Spirit Realm, so they could only search slowly.

However, the cultivation level in the Dao Spirit Realm is quite high. Not to mention the best spiritual lands, even ordinary spiritual lands are unlikely to be unclaimed.

Therefore, Li Zhirui mainly focused his attention on slightly less desirable spiritual sites, and judged them not by the density of spiritual energy, but by the overall terrain and surrounding environment.

After searching for a while, the two finally located the mountain gate.

It is located to the west of the human territory, but it is still some distance from the border, so there is no need to worry too much about a large-scale attack by monsters.

But it made them both determined to finalize the location of the mountain gate.

That is the highest spiritual mountain within a radius of a thousand miles. Although the spiritual energy is relatively thin, the mountain is huge and gentle, and there will be enough space to accommodate various buildings and disciples in the future.

"From now on, let this mountain be called the Mountain of Ascending Immortality."

As he spoke, Li Zhirui found a huge rock and, with a flourish of his brush, wrote the two magnificent and powerful characters "Ascending to Immortality," imbued with the spirit of Taoism.

Next comes the continuation of the very important legacy for any power, which in other words means recruiting disciples!
However, Li Zhirui and Wan Sheng held conflicting views on this issue.

He prefers to have fewer disciples and take an elite route, rather than accepting only the best. This decision was not made on a whim.

Because now, besides himself, only Wan Sheng, a remnant soul, can teach disciples cultivation within the Tongtian Sect.

In this situation, if they recruit too many disciples, the two of them simply won't be able to handle it all, and they won't be able to take care of all the disciples.

Wan Sheng, on the other hand, believed in teaching without discrimination, regardless of aptitude or status. As long as someone could pass the tests of their character and Dao heart, he would accept them as his disciple, without caring about the number of people, or even the more the better.

Ultimately, however, Wan Sheng couldn't fight city hall and had to give in, adopting Li Zhirui's suggestion.

After all, no matter what, he is the sect leader!
After deciding on the strategy for recruiting disciples, Li Zhirui went to the surrounding mortal realms. His purpose was simple: to publicize the matter and let more mortals know about it.

Wherever he went, he caused a great stir. Ordinary people welcomed his arrival and wanted their descendants to join the Tongtian Sect.

He sensed something was wrong. Why would those mortals react this way? And why didn't they doubt his identity at all? This was really strange.

However, gathering information and finding answers in the mortal realm is much simpler; a quick scan with one's divine sense is enough to understand the situation.

It turned out that a nest of demonic beasts had been born not far away, and they would come to abduct mortals from time to time, causing great harm to them. Therefore, they hoped that their descendants could join a cultivation sect.

Unfortunately, because this place is relatively remote and the spiritual energy is thin, it is difficult for mortals with extraordinary talent to be born. Therefore, the immortal forces in the distance are unwilling to make this trip just to take in a few disciples with mediocre talent.

Therefore, they have been plagued by monsters for many years.

Upon learning this, Li Zhirui flew over immediately and dispatched the demonic beasts with a single move.

The bat demons, which looked about the size of calves, were completely powerless to react when faced with him and were directly subdued and suppressed.

Bringing the corpses of these demonic beasts to the mortal realm immediately triggered a thunderous roar of cheers, followed by a cacophony of thanks from the crowd.

"Thank you, Immortal Master! Thank you, Immortal Master!"

Because of this incident, they became even more attentive to recruiting disciples. They felt that this was a kind sect, and if their descendants could become disciples, regardless of how much they would achieve in the future, they would at least become cultivators!

Seeing this, Li Zhirui also changed his mind and decided to start testing the children's spiritual aptitude right now.

He will stay here for three days, after which he will leave and head to the next mortal realm.

The mortals who had just surrounded him scattered instantly, all wanting to rush back and bring their own eligible children.

Before long, a long queue formed in front of Li Zhirui.

"May I ask, Immortal Master, my son will be six years old in just one month. I wonder if he meets the requirements?" A mortal in the crowd boldly asked for his child.

"No, he must be at least six years old for his spiritual root to manifest. However, I will come again around this time next year, and you can bring him for testing then." (End of Chapter)
