Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

as predicted!

Once everyone had left the area affected by the lightning tribulation, they looked back and immediately saw the center of the tribulation, located above Zhao Gongming's cave.

"I wonder if Senior Brother Zhao's tribulation this time is as terrifying as Senior Sister Yunxiao's..." a disciple said in a low voice with some worry.

Although Yunxiao appeared calm and confident throughout his tribulation, many disciples perceived it as fraught with danger and crisis.

It's only because Yunxiao is so powerful that anyone else would probably not have survived!
"No matter how terrifying the tribulation is, with Senior Brother Zhao's strength, he will definitely be able to successfully overcome it and become a Great Luo Golden Immortal!"

"Yes, Senior Brother Zhao is extremely powerful."

However, most disciples still believed that with Zhao Gongming's strength, the Great Luo-level lightning tribulation would not pose any obstacle to him.

Rumbling--

The first bolt of tribulation lightning arrived in response, its power terrifying, no less than the tribulation lightning that Yunxiao had faced.

Fortunately, Zhao Gongming was indeed powerful. Even with such a powerful tribulation lightning, he remained calm and composed, quickly dispersing the lightning.

The subsequent lightning bolts, though each one more powerful than the last, still couldn't harm him.

However, as the burden on him increased, his condition gradually deteriorated.

Fortunately, although he was in a sorry state, he still maintained considerable strength, and the tribulation was nearing its end, with only two more lightning bolts remaining.

Zhao Gongming was extremely cautious. He took out a specially prepared elixir and swallowed it to quickly restore his magical power. With his powerful strength, he fought against the eighth and ninth tribulation lightning bolts and resolved them very smoothly.

"Senior Brother Zhao has successfully survived the tribulation!"

The onlookers gasped in amazement, deeply moved.

For these disciples of saints, cultivating their state of mind and Dao heart is essential, even paramount. Therefore, the tribulation of inner demons is easier for them to overcome than the tribulation of lightning.

Of course, this doesn't mean that all disciples who break through will be able to overcome the tribulation of inner demons; it's just a relative comparison.

The four Great Luo Immortals, Gui Ling and Yun Xiao, who came to protect the Dharma, also breathed a sigh of relief.

As the ninth tribulation lightning dissipated, a streak of black light descended from the sky, instantly entering Zhao Gongming's sea of ​​consciousness and swiftly weaving a demonic illusion that pulled his somewhat weary soul into it.

This is the signature move of the inner demon, and it's not so easy to break free from!
Especially since he's not in a good state right now, he's more likely to succumb to it.

Just as the inner demon wore a greedy smile, suddenly, a pure white light shone in Zhao Gongming's sea of ​​consciousness, causing the illusion to become momentarily disordered.

He instantly regained his senses and quickly broke free from the illusion of his inner demons.

"Damn it! Damn it! What the hell is that thing! Why can it break my illusion!" The inner demon roared through gritted teeth.

It had already seen the dawn of victory and was about to devour the cultivator's soul to strengthen its own power. But because of that white light, it ultimately failed. How could it not be angry and furious?
"Humph!"

Zhao Gongming snorted coldly and immediately used his skills to attack the inner demon.

In a short while, the inner demon, which was not good at direct confrontation, was at a disadvantage and was beaten into a sorry state.

"I'll remember this debt!"

Before his death, the inner demon left behind a final message filled with resentment and bitterness.

The next instant, it was shattered into pieces by Zhao Gongming, becoming the resources for him to strengthen his soul.

At this point, all the heavenly tribulations that had challenged him to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal had been overcome!

Then, the tribulation clouds transformed into a massive amount of pure spiritual energy, which poured into his body, successfully propelling him into the Great Luo Realm.

boom--

A powerful pressure surged into the sky, as if announcing to the world that another Great Luo Golden Immortal had been born in the Shangqing Dao.

After Zhao Gongming successfully broke through, he didn't say anything about holding a grand sermon, nor did he return directly to his cave to consolidate his realm. Instead, he looked around as if he were searching for something.

"Speaking of which, where is Junior Brother Li Zhirui? Why haven't I seen him?" Not seeing the person he wanted to thank the most, he asked directly.

The crowd was puzzled as to why, after breaking through to the Great Luo realm, his first priority was to seek help from Li Zhirui, a Golden Immortal cultivator. Some even speculated that Li Zhirui might have offended him.

However, if they observe Zhao Gongming's expression closely, they will find that he is not seeking revenge or retribution, but rather experiencing surprise and excitement.

"Junior Brother Li Zhirui left Biyou Island several hundred years ago to go to the prehistoric land for training."

Wu Dang stepped forward and said something, then asked, "Junior brother, what brings you to him?"

"Senior sister, you don't know this, but if it weren't for the spiritual item that Junior Brother Li gave me, I probably wouldn't have been able to break through to the Great Luo Realm so quickly!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, a gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd. Everyone stared at Zhao Gongming in disbelief, some even wondering if they had misheard.

A Golden Immortal cultivator was actually able to help him break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!?

Even though they were all disciples of a sage, they had never heard of such a thing before; it seemed far too outrageous.

Even the four Great Luo Golden Immortals, Guiling, Wudang, Jinling, and Yunxiao, looked astonished and doubtful, not believing what he said.

"Brother, are you still affected by your inner demons and haven't fully woken up yet?" Bixiao couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Gongming's face darkened. He was speechless at everyone's reaction and explained helplessly, "I wasn't exaggerating; this is indeed the truth!"

“Junior Brother Li Zhirui gave me nine lotus seeds of the Golden Immortal-grade Purifying White Lotus back then. I simply planted them and placed them in a quiet room. As a result, I discovered that the white lotus could not only calm the mind and suppress distracting thoughts to comprehend the laws in a better state, but also purify the surrounding spiritual energy, making it purer and easier to absorb and refine.”

"That is why I was able to qualify for the Great Luo Realm in just a few thousand years!"

"Not only that, those purifying white lotuses also have the effect of suppressing inner demons, which prevented me from completely falling into the illusion of inner demons and allowed me to quickly overcome the tribulation of inner demons."

By this time, he had figured out what the sudden white light was all about. It was something he had accumulated unknowingly over the years while cultivating in an environment filled with purifying energy.

Otherwise, even he wouldn't have been able to break free from the illusion of inner demons in just half an hour.

Seeing Zhao Gongming's serious expression, everyone listened quietly as he recounted this outrageous story. It seemed quite plausible, and given his character, he would never use such things to deceive the crowd.

Even so, many disciples still remained skeptical.

The main problem was that what he said was too outrageous. How could just a few Golden Immortal-level spiritual plants have such a good effect? ​​They didn't really believe it!

After all, as disciples of a sage, they had come into contact with many spiritual objects, not to mention those at the Golden Immortal level, but even those at the Great Luo level. However, so far, they had only encountered a few extremely rare and precious spiritual objects that could help them break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

Moreover, these spiritual items are so precious that even the Shangqing Dao only possesses three of them.

"Junior Brother Zhao, this matter is of great importance. Are you sure what you're saying is true?" Gui Ling said with a serious expression.

Zhao Gongming, who was disbelieved by everyone, said weakly, "Senior Sister, do you not even believe what I'm saying and think I'm lying?" "I must confirm again and again that there are spiritual objects that can help one break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!" she said in a businesslike manner.

"It's all true! I swear I'm telling the truth! If I'm lying, I'll make you pay..."

"Alright!" Gui Ling immediately interrupted him, preventing him from actually making a poisonous oath.

After a moment's consideration, she addressed all her disciples with a serious expression: "No one is to divulge even a single word about the purification of the White Lotus to any living being! Anyone who violates this rule will be severely punished!"

If this news gets out, not only Li Zhirui, but even the Shangqing Dao will probably be in turmoil! Countless forces will come knocking on their door, so she must give them a good warning and deter them from having any rebellious thoughts.

"We obey your orders."

The disciples present gradually came to believe what Zhao Gongming said, and their hearts were filled with excitement. This so-called Purifying White Lotus was helpful for breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, so wouldn't its effect be even more significant for cultivators like them who were at a lower level?!

They seemed to see themselves reaching a higher realm and successfully transcending the tribulation, and smiles appeared on their faces without them even realizing it.

If Li Zhirui hadn't been away from Biyou Island, his secluded Pure Lotus Valley would probably have been overrun with fellow disciples long ago.

All for the sake of obtaining the purified lotus seeds from him!
Afterwards, Gui Ling sent all his disciples away, leaving only five Da Luo masters on the scene.

"Junior Brother Zhao, could you temporarily hand over those nine Purifying White Lotuses to the sect?"

Her purpose in asking for the white lotus was not for her own use, because at her current level, it was not something she could easily improve.

Instead, he planned to hand the White Lotus over to several other Taiyi disciples who were currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, to see if it could help them.

Even if it only increases the probability by the slightest bit, it's worth it!
After all, the Shangqing Sect gains another Great Luo Immortal, which increases its strength and makes others more wary of it.

If Li Zhirui were on Biyou Island, I could trade directly with him and perhaps obtain more lotus seeds. Unfortunately, he went out to train hundreds of years ago.

Finding him in the vast wilderness is not impossible, but it is quite difficult and would take a lot of time.

The Shangqing Dao would not do this unless in an extremely urgent situation.

“Of course.” Zhao Gongming instantly understood what Gui Ling meant and agreed without hesitation.

He also very much hopes that the Shangqing Dao can produce more Great Luo Golden Immortals and regain its former glory!

With a thought, he moved the purified white lotuses, which were planted in the nine jade cauldrons, from the cave to the people.

As soon as the white lotus appeared, a purifying aura spread in all directions.

But it was this aura that made the four of them feel much lighter, and their spiritual energy did indeed become a little purer.

Such remarkable results immediately caught the attention of the four women.

"Junior Brother Zhao, do you think that if we divide these nine white lotuses into three groups, will they still be effective?" Gui Ling asked.

Zhao Gongming shook his head and said, "I'm not entirely sure about that either, but I think it would be more effective to concentrate the efforts."

"After all, no matter what, the white lotus is only a Golden Immortal-level spiritual object. If there are fewer of them, the effect may not be as good."

This was entirely based on his own experience and speculation, because his understanding of purifying the white lotus was not much greater than that of others.

"Yes, you're right."

Gui Ling nodded, abandoning her somewhat greedy thoughts, and said, "Then we won't disturb you as you consolidate your cultivation, Junior Brother."

After saying that, she summoned a huge auspicious cloud, which carried the nine purified white lotuses and flew towards another cave.

"I never expected that Junior Brother Li would possess such a treasure..."

"No wonder the teacher took a liking to him!"

Wu Dang and Jin Ling sighed and left with Gui Ling.

"Congratulations, elder brother, on your sudden attainment of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!"

Yunxiao, who was usually aloof, was now all smiles. She was genuinely very happy about Zhao Gongming's breakthrough.

Although she had always believed that her older brother had a chance to surpass Ronaldo, she did not expect it to happen so quickly.

"Hahaha, just lucky, just lucky."

"Elder brother, go and consolidate your cultivation first. After you come out of seclusion, the four of us siblings will have a proper talk."

"it is good."

No sooner had he spoken than Zhao Gongming returned to his cave.

"No wonder the teacher took a liking to this being from a non-primordial world, and even helped him come to the primordial world..."

Without a doubt, Yunxiao knew that his teacher must have paid a price. Otherwise, how could Li Zhirui, a being who had just broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, have found the prehistoric world so quickly?

Even if one's own teacher is a saint, it is by no means an easy task to cross the vast distances and deliver the positioning magic item to him.

"I wonder if he will bring any more surprises to the sect next..."

Before the words were even finished, only wisps of white mist remained on the spot.

-

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Li Zhirui, who was already in Tianxing City at this time, using the rolling red dust to hone his Dao heart, was unaware of the enormous waves that the nine Golden Immortal-level lotus seeds he had sent out had stirred up among Biyou Island and its disciples.

He now lives in the city like an ordinary human, completely integrated into the world.

They work at sunrise and rest at sunset, just like any other ordinary farmer!

The neighbors around him were unaware that he was actually a Golden Immortal, whose realm was comparable to that of the guardian, and greeted and interacted with him as usual.

"Li Zhi!"

A middle-aged woman suddenly called out to Li Zhirui, who was walking home, and quickly walked up to him, whispering, "Do you want a wife?"

"You're not getting any younger. It's time for you to think about your life's important matters, get married, have children, and continue your bloodline!"

"I happen to know a few of my older friends who all have daughters of marriageable age. Shall I introduce them to you?"

The woman spoke very quickly, giving Li Zhirui no chance to interrupt.

"Thank you for your concern, Aunt Zhang, but I have no plans to get married and start a family right now."

He finally managed to refuse after she finished speaking. (End of Chapter)
