Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Back then, Mingyun was hunted down by three Xuanxian for stealing the spiritual treasures of the Youfeng Zhang family. Even though she fled all the way to the void, she could not escape their pursuit.

They almost fell into their hands, and they would have suffered endless torment, perhaps even becoming slaves to be beaten and abused at will.

At this critical moment, he was fortunate enough to encounter Li Zhirui and be rescued by him, thus escaping danger.

It was under Mingyun's guidance that Li Zhirui arrived in the Dao Spirit Realm and received the many opportunities that followed.

The reason he returned to the Dao Spirit Realm was that he felt that after so many years, the Youfeng Zhang family should no longer be pursuing him.

Secondly, his spiritual senses alerted him to return to the right path, otherwise, a great disaster might befall him in the future.

For these reasons, Mingyun risked returning.

But he never imagined that he would stumble into a catastrophe!

In fact, he knew very well that the spiritual warning was correct. Returning to the Dao Spirit Realm now would only mean facing a great calamity, but if he returned later, the situation would be much more complicated.

"It's been thousands of years since we last came back, let's find out what's going on first."

A figure suddenly flashed through Mingyun's mind, and she murmured, "I wonder if the fellow Daoist I met in the void before is still in the Dao Spirit Realm. If I can find him and cooperate with him, it might be easier to get through this tribulation."

Although I haven't witnessed Li Zhirui's strength firsthand, the fact that he was able to force the three members of the Zhang family to retreat shows how powerful he is.

It seems quite fitting that he, a lone cultivator, would team up with an extraterrestrial being, since, to some extent, neither of them could find a suitable teammate.

However, it is extremely difficult to kill a Xuanxian by oneself, unless one is very lucky enough to encounter a Xuanxian who is already seriously injured.

But upon closer reflection, Mingyun felt that this was not a very reliable idea and could not be achieved.

As an extraterrestrial being, upon sensing something amiss, the first reaction should be to leave immediately, not to remain.

After all, when one's strength is restricted by the Heavenly Dao, it is not a wise decision to put oneself in danger in the face of an extremely dangerous calamity.

Therefore, Mingyun believed that the other party should have already left the Dao Spirit Realm.

"Ugh!"

Thinking that he would have to face the great calamity alone again, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Alright, alright, let's find out what's going on first."

Shaking her head to clear her mind of all distractions, Mingyun began to carefully explore the surrounding area in preparation for future actions.

……

at the same time,.

Li Zhirui, whom Mingyun longs for, is leading his disciples to restore the severely damaged environment near Dengxian Mountain.

With everyone working together, the ground, which had become bumpy and uneven, has now been restored to a flat state.

However, due to concerns that a major war might break out again, the spiritual creatures that had been planted were not immediately transplanted back.

Beyond the superficial recovery, the more important thing is that the evil aura, blood energy, and other filthy things left behind by those cultivators who died on this land were also cleansed by Li Zhirui's purifying power.

"Ok?"

The moment the last wisp of malevolent energy was purified and the land was fully restored, he seemed to suddenly realize something and immediately began to examine his own karma.

really!

A glint of light flashed in Li Zhirui's eyes. He had just keenly sensed that his soul had become a little lighter, and guessed that it might be because he had purified the earth and gained some merit.

However, due to the special circumstances of the world's great calamity, the merits directly offset the karma, which is why he had the feeling he just had.

Why didn't he think of that before?!
The world's ascension and the great catastrophe occurred simultaneously. The former required an immense amount of energy to propel the world's advancement, while the latter aimed to alleviate the world's own burden.

The two are actually closely related, which is why they appear at the same time!
"What an unexpected bonus!"

Li Zhirui murmured to himself, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.

In this way, he no longer needs to seek out Xuanxian cultivators and engage in fierce battles with them to decide life and death. He can reduce his own karma by purifying the evil and filth in the world.

This not only allows him to avoid taking risks, but also enables him to resolve his own karma at an extremely fast speed!

Even the karma of the Tongtian Sect was not a problem for him.

"Thanks to those disciples! Otherwise, how would I have discovered such an unexpected surprise?" Li Zhirui said with emotion.

The disciples not far away looked at each other, completely unaware of what he was saying, but judging from the sect leader's appearance, he seemed to be in a very good mood.

As for those disciples the sect leader mentioned...

They exchanged a glance and both saw the envy in each other's eyes.

Because all the disciples knew that their sect leader was very generous, and the disciples he mentioned would surely receive very rich rewards.

Perhaps this opportunity will extend their path forward.

"Headmaster!"

Just then, a disciple flew over from afar, respectfully landed in front of Li Zhirui, and bowed, saying, "Sect Leader invites you back to the sect to discuss the spiritual objects left behind by those cultivators, as well as the sect's next steps."

"understood."

Then he turned around and said to another group of disciples, "You've all worked hard these past few days. Take these pills and get some rest. The great calamity isn't over yet."

Before he finished speaking, he vanished completely.

The disciples opened the jade bottles in their hands with delight, exclaiming in surprise, "It's actually a top-grade pill! Not only is it a Loose Immortal-level pill, but it's also the most important healing pill, the Hundred Dew Jade Nourishing Pill!"

It's no exaggeration to say that this one bottle of pills is more precious than their lives and fortunes.

"The sect leader is as generous as ever," one disciple remarked.

The others nodded in agreement, their faces beaming with barely suppressed excitement.

“I plan to sell the pills and exchange them for some spiritual items that I can use right now,” another disciple suddenly said.

"Are you stupid?!"

The disciple who was on good terms with him quickly said, "Top-grade pills are extremely rare. If you sell them now, you won't be able to buy pills of this grade even if you pay two or three times the price later."

This is no longer a matter of price; it's because there are almost no top-grade pills available for sale on the market!

Even if it happens by chance, it will be in an auction, where it will be bidding and scrambling against a large number of cultivators.

"I know, but I don't need such a high-grade pill right now!"

The disciple knew the other person made a lot of sense, but he understood an even more profound truth. His expression was resolute as he said, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush!" "Perhaps I'll never have the chance to obtain top-grade pills again, but my cultivation might break through its limits. Isn't that the most important thing for a cultivator?"

Selling this bottle of pills could yield enough spiritual items, which might give him a chance to glimpse the Loose Immortal Realm!
He was just an ordinary inner disciple. The Loose Immortal Realm was probably nothing to those true disciples or elite disciples, and it posed no difficulty at all.

But for him, it was a height that was difficult to reach.

But if there were plenty of cultivation resources, he might have a chance to climb this mountain!
His words also influenced many disciples nearby, who lowered their heads to consider whether his actions would be helpful to their cultivation.

Because their backgrounds and qualifications are similar, the other person's methods are not much different when applied to themselves.

The factors that may lead to different final results are one's character and moral compass.

“You’re right, I didn’t consider things comprehensively enough.” Even the disciple who initially disagreed with him agreed with his approach.

As a result, almost all the disciples were prepared to sell their top-grade pills in exchange for spiritual resources that they could use.

……

at the same time.

Inside the main hall of the sect on Mount Dengxian.

Upon seeing Li Zhirui appear, Li Qiankun and the elders quickly rose to greet him.

"Okay, let's all sit down."

But before they could stand up, he pressed them back down, apparently because he didn't like such common etiquette.

"Let's first talk about how many spiritual items we obtained from those cultivators."

Li Qiankun handed him the jade slip containing the statistics of the various levels of spiritual items, and began to introduce them: "Under the leadership of the sect leader, this great battle yielded a total of more than 56,000 spiritual items, including 146 Heavenly Immortal level spiritual items and Earthly Immortal level spiritual items..."

Hey!
Some elders who were unaware of the total number beforehand couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

But while it seems like this battle was very fruitful, in reality it wasn't as fruitful as we imagined!

For example, we obtained more than a hundred of the most precious Celestial Immortal-level spiritual items, but the spiritual items we used to kill Celestial Immortals numbered more than sixty or seventy, and were even rarer.

In retrospect, the Tongtian Sect did not gain much in this regard.

As for other grades of spiritual items, they can all be considered as profits.

"Besides spiritual objects, there are also various cultivation techniques, supernatural powers, secret methods, as well as cultivation insights and experiences, and many other methods."

Li Qiankun recited a series of numbers, totaling approximately 30,000 jade slips.

The current library can't hold so many jade slips. Once the great calamity is over, we'll have to arrange for our disciples to start expanding it.

In addition, there are some other miscellaneous spiritual items. Since it will take a lot of time to identify them, they have been temporarily collected together and will be dealt with later.

"Sect Leader, what do you think should be done with these spiritual objects?"

This means that if Li Zhirui hadn't intervened and stopped the two Xuanxian, giving them the opportunity to act, they wouldn't have had such a rich harvest.

He made a great contribution in this great battle, so he should select a few spiritual items from it.

"All of it will be confiscated and belong to the sect."

In fact, Li Zhirui was somewhat interested in certain spiritual objects, but there was no need to obtain them in this way. Besides, it would be very easy for him to get them if he wanted to.

If it can be obtained in a fair way, why resort to such means?
"Ok."

Li Qiankun was not surprised, because he had already guessed that this would be the answer.

"Besides that, there is another very important thing."

As he spoke, his expression became serious and earnest.

"The eight major forces, led by the Void Spirit Palace, joined forces to attack the sect, but suffered a crushing defeat, with many Celestial Immortals killed or wounded in each of them. Do you think we should take advantage of their weakness and attack one or two of the weaker forces?"

Li Zhirui raised his eyebrows in surprise. He really hadn't expected them to have such great ambitions, and that they were even thinking of launching a counterattack.

Moreover, their madness was tempered with restraint; they didn't intend to eliminate all eight major powers, but instead chose two weaker ones.

Seeing him frown slightly in thought, the others felt quite uneasy, worried that their decision would not receive his support.

Without Li Zhirui's support, this matter simply could not have proceeded!

The reason is simple: they are not strong enough. How can a few celestial immortals conquer a force with dozens of celestial immortals?

Therefore, they need the strong support of the sect leader.

"Logically speaking, this is not allowed."

Li Zhirui's opening remarks immediately dampened everyone's spirits.

And this was not an excuse he made up on the spot. The Dao Spirit Realm and the Yuan Spirit Realm, or any other world, do not allow the strong to bully the weak!

Only in this way can we ensure the normal development and orderly inheritance of a world.

If there were no such restriction, wouldn't beings who reach a higher cultivation level earlier be able to control and suppress other beings through their strength?
At that time, will this world be controlled by the Heavenly Dao, or by those living beings?
"However, the situation is different now. During the great calamity, the restrictions imposed by the Heavenly Dao are not as strong as before."

After considering for a while and confirming that there were no problems, Li Zhirui said, "But I am only responsible for helping you break the mountain-protecting formation and control a portion of the Celestial Immortals. The rest is up to you to solve."

He only acted because it was during a time of great calamity and because they were the ones who struck first.

Although there are still some limitations, it is sufficient.

If that's the case, and the disciples can't defeat him, then they should just stay obediently in the mountain gate, or follow him to purify the evil energy of heaven and earth and the polluted land.

There's nothing wrong with that. Although it might take a lot of time, at least safety can be guaranteed, since we can take action right here at the mountain gate.

"Thank you for your help, Sect Leader!"

Li Qiankun and the other elders were all very happy and understood the sect leader's actions.

According to their calculations, if they could successfully take over Tianxue Mountain and Bibo Mansion, then all the karma of the Tongtian Sect disciples could be settled!

In other words, all they need to do now is stay in the mountain gate and quietly wait for the great calamity to end. They don't need to worry about cause and effect anymore, nor do they need to face dangerous battles.

Although they are still unable to cultivate during this period, they can use it to improve their skills, spells, supernatural powers, etc., so it is not a waste of time at all.

"Then you can make your own preparations. Just have someone call me when it's time to leave," Li Zhirui said.

"Understood, thank you for your trouble, Master."

"Thank you, Sect Leader!" Everyone rose to their feet and bowed in greeting. (End of Chapter)
