Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

"It seems that the senior had already foreseen that the world's upgrade was imminent."

Seeing that Li Zhirui was about to leave, the old man asked with some curiosity, "Don't you plan to find out how the various forces fared in this Illusionary Realm?"

Such a momentous event as the upgrading of the world's status as a global superpower could not be concealed any longer!
At most, some powerful forces will find out earlier through certain channels, while smaller forces and independent cultivators may only realize something is wrong when the great calamity breaks out.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for Wenfenglou to know about this.

"What does this have to do with me?"

Li Zhirui glanced at him indifferently, then got up and left.

He is not a being from the Dao Spirit Realm, so the world's ascension has little to do with him.

Moreover, most of the karmic connections between him and the Dao Spirit Realm are not direct, but rather stem from his karmic debts to the Tongtian Sect, which is why he has a relatively close relationship with this world.

If he wanted, he could use his purification power to cleanse all karma and leave the Dao Spirit Realm cleanly, instead of staying to fight with other Xuanxian beings.

"Is this person so confident in his own strength that he is not worried about the great calamity threatening his life, or does he have other ways to safely get through the calamity?" The old man murmured to himself, gazing at the vanished figure.

His cloudy eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and it was unclear what he was planning.

The next moment, the old man left the place through the teleportation array, and sent out the disciple who had been there earlier to continue entertaining the guests.

"That senior was only asking some trivial questions, how could they have attracted the attention of the elders?"

The disciple returned to the pavilion and sat cross-legged, muttering to himself, "It was when I asked about the major events that happened in the Dao Spirit Realm hundreds of years ago that the elder suddenly appeared."

He actually knew what had happened back then; it was nothing more than the appearance of a super-large-scale illusionary realm, which sparked fierce competition among various forces and caused quite a few tragic casualties.

However, because this matter involved a wide range of people, any creature with even a little bit of information had heard about it, so it shouldn't be considered important intelligence at all.

The senior from earlier probably had just emerged from seclusion, but he sensed something was amiss and chose to purchase information directly.

If it weren't for the strict requirements that Wenfeng Tower had for their behavior, he wouldn't need to go to the sect to gather information; he could just tell them directly.

Just as he was deep in thought, another cultivator entered the shop; it was the same shopkeeper from before.

"What information would you like to inquire about, sir?" He quickly put aside his complicated thoughts and earnestly attended to the guest in front of him.

"I want to know what the last customer asked about," the shopkeeper said, making no attempt to conceal his purpose.

The disciple frowned slightly and said, "I'm sorry, this matter involves a powerful Xuanxian, and Wenfeng Tower cannot disclose it."

With only two Xuanxian cultivators in charge, Wenfeng Tower naturally dares not easily offend Xuanxian cultivators to avoid trouble. Therefore, information about Xuanxian cultivators is generally not sold to the public.

Furthermore, how could a powerful immortal like Renxuan be completely unprepared for Wenfeng Tower's secret techniques? Therefore, there is relatively little relevant information.

The shopkeeper knew this rule, but he also knew that Wenfeng Tower was greedy for money, and as long as one was willing to pay enough spirit stones, many rules would become mere decorations.

"One million spirit stones! All you need to do is give me another copy of the intelligence jade slip that the Xuanxian was looking at. The cost of purchasing the intelligence is separate!"

The shopkeeper smiled slightly and said, "And I guarantee that the information will not be leaked. I'm sure you know who my boss is."

The disciple's face stiffened slightly. Of course, he knew who the other party's backer was. Although he wasn't a Xuanxian Great Power, he was the Xuanxian Great Power's own son!
Moreover, he not only possesses the cultivation level of a Celestial Immortal, but there are also rumors that he is expected to advance further and achieve the position of a Profound Immortal Venerable!

If this were to actually happen, then it would be a family with two Xuanxian (mysterious immortals), father and son both being considered great powers.

Faced with such a distinguished and promising entity, Wenfenglou, which values ​​harmony and making money, naturally did not want to antagonize it.

"As far as I know, that senior just now purchased two pieces of information, totaling 110,000 spirit stones. Adding the cost of your purchase of information about the Xuanxian Grandmaster, the total comes to 1.1 million spirit stones."

Having said that, he looked calmly at the shopkeeper in front of him.

"Only 110,000 spirit stones for two pieces of information?" The shopkeeper was somewhat surprised, even suspecting that the other party was just trying to fool him with two random jade slips.

In response to his doubts, the disciple said with a serious expression and a slightly displeased tone, "Does Your Excellency not know that Wenfeng Tower has always upheld integrity as the foundation of its business?"

This is questioning the very foundation of Wenfeng Tower's existence. If he doesn't refute it, he's not worthy of being a disciple of Wenfeng Tower.

"I'm sorry, I'm not questioning Wenfeng Tower, I'm just a little surprised by this news."

The shopkeeper smiled slightly, then took out a sufficient number of spirit stones and obtained the two jade slips that Li Zhirui had just looked at.

But what he didn't know was that the other party's words just now were actually a bit of a trick!

The disciple did not give Li Zhirui a full reception, and the crucial part that followed was silently omitted.

Of course, this doesn't mean he lied, because he was telling the whole truth.

At the same time, it was also to avoid revealing more information. If, somehow, it reached Li Zhirui's ears in the future, Wenfeng Tower might not suffer much loss, but he, as a mere disciple, would probably have to bear the brunt of the blame.

The shopkeeper knew nothing about these things; he simply used his divine sense to quickly memorize the contents of the jade slip and then left.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see a hint of doubt in his eyes.

After looking at the two jade slips, he had no idea what Li Zhirui was asking or what information he would get that seemed so useless.

The spiritual energy in Gwangju is becoming more abundant, isn't that a good thing? Why worry about that?
Moreover, the other party is the leader of the Tongtian Sect in Mingzhou, not a cultivator from Guangzhou, so there is no need for him to know these things.

With these questions in mind, the manager quickly returned to the restaurant and reported the situation to his boss immediately.

"What does this mean?" But to his surprise, this extraordinary celestial master was unaware of the secret behind it.

But the more this happened, the more curious he became.

He had even been planning to find an opportunity to ask his immortal father about it.

……

the other side.

After leaving the intelligence shop, Li Zhirui did not linger there. Instead, he ended his trip to Gwangju ahead of schedule and quickly flew towards the mountain gate.

They traveled in silence, and before long, he returned to Dengxian Mountain.

"Over the next period of time, the sect will provide abundant resources to accelerate the disciples' cultivation speed!"

Upon meeting Li Qiankun, Li Zhirui issued a very abrupt order.

"Sect Leader, is something big about to happen?" He asked, his face full of doubt, but he couldn't help but feel nervous.

He believed that his sect leader would not make such a decision without a reason; there must be a reason behind it.

"Yes, the Dao Spirit Realm recently refined a Tai Xu Illusionary Realm of extremely high grade, thus showing signs of upgrading. And along with the world's advancement, there will also be a great calamity!"

Li Zhirui might not explain to the other disciples, but as the current de facto leader of the Tongtian Sect, he still needed to communicate effectively. If Li Qiankun strongly objected, he would have to painstakingly select another disciple from among the others to succeed him as acting sect leader.

"what?!"

Upon hearing that such a significant event had occurred, Li Qiankun was so shocked that he immediately stood up.

"This...this...Sect Leader, are you sure?"

This is no joke. He knew how terrifying a global catastrophe could be, though he hadn't experienced it firsthand, but there were many records of it in ancient texts.

Many powerful forces, which were among the top in the entire Dao Spirit Realm, collapsed during the great calamity!
While the Tongtian Sect appears to be quite powerful, its actual strength is rather ordinary.

It is only in a remote and backward continent like Mingzhou that he can become a minor overlord. If he were placed in other places, he would not even be considered a leader.

"It's highly likely, so we must prepare in advance." Li Zhirui didn't offer any words of comfort, but instead began to make plans.

"You're right, we should indeed prepare for the great calamity as soon as possible!"

After discussing it, the two finally decided on some plans to accelerate the disciples' cultivation speed and improve their strength and realm.

The first rule is to provide them with ample cultivation resources, so that the disciples no longer need to worry about resources and no longer need to spend a lot of time on various miscellaneous things in order to earn some contribution points and spirit stones.

The second point is to allow disciples to form their own groups to discuss the Dao, exchange cultivation experiences and insights, and discuss any cultivation problems they encounter, so that they may be able to find the answers.

The third point is to strengthen the disciples' combat power! As for how to achieve this? Through sect competitions, both large and small, and other means.

So far, these are all the ideas they've come up with. If they have any further thoughts, they can discuss adding them later.

"I'll leave it to you to oversee everything that needs to be controlled," Li Zhirui said earnestly.

"Disciple accepts the order!"

Li Qiankun did not refuse, but readily agreed, as these were his duties anyway.

"This matter should not be disclosed to the public for the time being."

Before leaving, he gave me a special reminder.

The main concern is that if the relevant information is leaked, it will cause the entire Dao Spirit Realm to fall into a state of tension and fear. If a careless incident is caused, it could very well lead to the premature outbreak of the great calamity.

Moreover, because the great calamity came so suddenly, no one had time to prepare, resulting in heavy casualties.

Therefore, it's best to be cautious and careful.

……

"Boom boom boom——"

When only Li Qiankun remained in the main hall, he rang the bell to notify all the disciples, and the deep sound instantly spread to every corner of the mountain gate.

Whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, streaks of spiritual light appeared, rapidly converging on the main hall of the sect from various parts of the mountain gate.

"Sect Leader, what are your orders? Why do we need to ring the bell to summon everyone?"

Because Li Zhirui was still serving as the sect leader, and it was impossible to call him the acting sect leader, this title was used.

Li Qiankun shook his head and said, "I will give a unified explanation after everyone has arrived."

Before long, the elders and deacons who were supposed to arrive had all arrived.

"Just now, the sect leader ordered that all disciples be provided with sufficient cultivation resources to ensure that all disciples can enjoy such benefits."

"All the disciples? That's a huge expense!" one of the elders exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes! All disciples!"

Li Qiankun said seriously, "In addition, given the disciples' insufficient cultivation level, they may encounter many problems during the cultivation process. In order to resolve these problems as soon as possible and avoid being troubled by them for too long..."

"Everyone can freely form discussion groups to exchange cultivation experiences and insights, which may be helpful to everyone's cultivation."

"At the same time, everyone should not only focus on cultivation but also remember to improve their strength. Therefore, starting this year, the sect will hold a small sect competition every year and a large competition every five years!"

"Furthermore, the sect will organize everyone to go to Mount Ling together to train their strength."

His words surprised everyone present.

If they could understand the previous distribution of cultivation resources to their disciples, they couldn't quite understand this instruction.

Why did the sect leader suddenly issue so many orders? Did he discover something?

"Sect Leader, may I ask if the Sect Leader has explained the reason to you?"

One of the elders said, "Roughly calculated, if we do as you just suggested, the sect will have to spend half as many spirit stones every year!"

This expenditure was simply too large, and even with Li Zhirui's instructions, they still wanted to know the reason.

"I don't know, but the sect leader must have his reasons for doing this, and it won't harm the sect," Li Qiankun lied and didn't answer truthfully.

The scene became very quiet; no one echoed what he had just said, nor did anyone object.

"If there are no unexpected events, then carry out the plan properly."

After saying that, he started to shoo people away, telling them not to disturb his work.

……

After returning to his cave, Li Zhirui began to ponder a matter: whether or not to leave the Dao Spirit Realm before the great calamity erupted!
Now is a very good time. The great calamity has not yet broken out. Even though the Heavenly Dao strictly controls the entry and exit of living beings, it has little control over extraterrestrial beings like him.

His main concern now is that once the great calamity begins, due to karmic connections, even if he resolves his karmic ties immediately, he will be unable to leave.

But Li Zhirui also had a reason not to leave: he had not yet found the reincarnation of the predecessor who founded the Tongtian Sect and guided him onto the path of Tao.

This is his biggest task!

It was a task given to him by the leader of the Shangqing Dao sect, who was also his nominal teacher.

After much deliberation and struggle, Li Zhirui finally decided to stay in the Dao Spirit Realm!

The main reason is that now that he has left, without his presence and protection, the Tongtian Sect might be destroyed in the great calamity.

Without this tool, how could he attract the reincarnation of that senior to appear on his own? He couldn't possibly search for her in the vast sea of ​​people, could he? (End of Chapter)
