Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Seeing this scene, Li Zhirui was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that some of the cultivators had been persuaded to leave and come back for the second lecture.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yun and his group came up with this idea: to pile people up on cloud beds.

Looking at those cultivators who were dozens of feet above the ground, he doubted whether they could even hear him clearly.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing Li Zhirui's stunned expression, Gu Yun smiled awkwardly and explained in a low voice, "Everyone knows that a disciple of a sage is giving a sermon here, so they are all extremely enthusiastic and excited and don't want to leave at all. We had no choice but to resort to this tactic."

"I see. I didn't expect everyone to be so excited."

He gave a perfunctory reply, then walked to the pulpit and said, "Silence!"

The sound wasn't loud, but it carried an irresistible power, instantly silencing the previously noisy and chaotic academy.

Li Zhirui did not introduce himself, but simply began to preach.

Of course, he did not teach any profound Shangqing Dao teachings, because that was not allowed!
Unless given the consent of the master, Shangqing Daozun, no disciple may reveal the scriptures and methods of Shangqing Dao to outsiders.

His current approach is actually skirting the line; although he didn't directly mention the methods of Shangqing Dao, it was based on Li Zhirui's own insights.

He himself attached great importance to the matter of preaching in the human race's Tianxing City!
In his view, the reason why the Shangqing Sect suffered such a miserable end in the last great calamity was partly because it did not have any allies!
Perhaps under normal circumstances, the strength of the Shangqing Dao would not require any allies or friendly forces.

However, in the event of a major calamity, other major powers would likely join forces and unite immediately.

Then the isolated Shangqing Dao was exposed and became the target of other forces for suppression, leading to its tragic end.

Moreover, the Shangqing Sect is no longer as powerful as it once was, so it needs allies even more, or at the very least, one or two friendly forces, so as not to be weak and alone.

On the contrary, the human race is now thriving and developing better and better.

Of course, given Li Zhirui's current identity and status, it's impossible for him to influence the relationship between the human race and the Shangqing Dao. What he's doing now is merely laying the foundation for future contact between the two major forces.

These are all his own little thoughts, and the greatest achievement he could make within his capabilities.

As for the future relationship between Shangqing Dao and the human race, it depends on how the leaders of both sides decide.

Thinking of this, Li Zhirui planned to use a long-distance communication talisman to tell his senior brother Zhao Gongming about these matters and his thoughts after the sermon, so that he could discuss with the three senior sisters Guiling whether to continue to promote relations with the human race.

Despite his many thoughts, it did not affect the content of his sermon. Most of the cultivators present listened with rapt attention, completely absorbed in it.

Although what he talked about was very basic, it was based on insights gained from the Shangqing Daojing, so the level of understanding was very profound.

This is precisely what ordinary human cultivators lack most.

After all, no one in the human race has yet achieved the Great Luo Dao Fruit, and their understanding and mastery of the laws of the world have not yet reached a meticulous level.

Even the three Golden Immortal cultivators, including Gu Ning, gradually became serious.

A few days later, Li Zhirui finished his first sermon and planned to preach again in half a month.

The reason for leaving half a month in the middle, instead of starting directly on the second day, is mainly to allow human cultivators time to properly organize what they have learned from this lecture.

Since we've already decided to build good relations with the human race, we might as well offer some more benefits; there's no need to be too calculating.

"Thank you for your sermon, senior!"

The human cultivators present were very grateful, especially since they heard that he would preach again after half a month, which made them even more fond of Li Zhirui.

Because this clearly takes their situation into account!
After receiving everyone's thanks, Li Zhirui smiled slightly, but he was very satisfied in his heart, feeling that his efforts had not been in vain.

He then got up and went to the backyard, intending to return to the inn after they all left. He didn't want to expose his residence, otherwise, he probably wouldn't have any peace for the next two weeks!
"Truly worthy of being a disciple of a sage, your understanding of the Great Dao is probably no less than ours!" Gu Ning said to the two people beside him with a look of admiration.

Gu Yun nodded and echoed, "Yes, his level is not as good as mine, but I didn't expect him to have such attainments."

"This is only a Golden Immortal. If only a Taiyi Golden Immortal or even a Daluo Golden Immortal could come and preach to our human race!"

Upon hearing this, the other two couldn't help but look on with longing, but after a moment's thought, they shook their heads in regret.

It's all by chance and incredible luck to have Li Zhirui, a Golden Immortal, preach to us. As for becoming a Taiyi Golden Immortal or even a Daluo Golden Immortal? It's more likely to happen in your dreams.

……

the other side.

Having concealed his appearance and aura, Li Zhirui returned to the inn unharmed. He took out a long-distance communication talisman, wrote down all his thoughts on improving relations between the Shangqing Dao and the human race, activated it, and quickly flew back to Biyou Island.

"what!"

Zhao Gongming, who was far away on Biyou Island, quickly received his message talisman. Upon seeing the messenger, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He clearly hadn't expected that Li Zhirui, who was still undergoing training, would suddenly send him a message.

After he finished reading it, his expression became very serious. What the message said was from a perspective that he, and indeed all the disciples of the Shangqing Sect, had never considered before.

Now that the truth has been revealed, Zhao Gongming suddenly realized the truth.

He then dug up some past events and carefully reviewed them with a scrutinizing eye, discovering that there were indeed signs of several major forces joining forces.

He simply hadn't thought about it in the past, so he subconsciously ignored it.

"Why didn't Junior Brother Li come to the Primordial World sooner!" Zhao Gongming couldn't help but sigh.

But then I thought, even if Li Zhirui said that before the great calamity broke out, probably not many disciples would take it seriously.

After all, that was the time when Shangqing Dao was at its strongest and its disciples were at their most arrogant and complacent. They simply couldn't think about how to befriend other forces or form alliances with them.

"Alas! It's all just a matter of timing and fate..."

Fortunately, it wasn't too late!
Thinking of this, Zhao Gongming immediately got up and went to Guiling's cave, while also calling Wudang and Jinling.

As for Yunxiao? She has already left Biyou Island and returned to the dojo of the three sisters.

"Junior Brother Zhao, what urgent matter is it?"

Judging from his urgent tone, the turtle spirit, thinking something serious had happened, immediately appeared.

Before he could even answer, Wudang and Jinling arrived.

"This matter is of great importance, but it is not particularly urgent. Let's discuss it properly first."

Hearing him say that, they stopped worrying and the four of them sat down in the pavilion to chat.

"Three senior sisters, please take a look at the contents of this communication talisman. This is what I want to talk about." Zhao Gongming took out the communication talisman directly. In a short while, the three of them, including Guiling, finished reading it and fell into deep thought.

At the same time, he felt the same emotions and thoughts as Zhao Gongming.

"I didn't expect Junior Brother Li Zhirui to find the problem in the sect so quickly and even provide a feasible solution."

After a long while, Wu Dang couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Had they had similar thoughts before? They certainly had, but they didn't take them seriously!
To reiterate, the Shangqing Dao was too powerful before, and didn't have much need for allies, so they didn't take it seriously.

"What do you think about this?" Gui Ling had already made up his mind, but he still wanted to ask the others.

Zhao Gongming was very supportive, saying, "I think it's feasible. Just as Junior Brother Li said, the human race's power is growing stronger, but it lacks high-end combat power. Moreover, before this, there were no irreconcilable conflicts between the two sides."

Unlike the other major sage lineages, they killed countless Shangqing Dao disciples during the great calamity.

Even if you want to befriend them, there will still be a barrier in your heart, after all, these blood feuds are not easily erased.

"Sure!" Wu Dang had no objections.

“Hmm.” Even Jin Ling, who was usually taciturn, nodded.

Clearly, they all realized that this method could indeed help Shangqingdao get out of its current predicament.

"Alright! Then I'll leave this matter to you, Junior Brother Zhao."

"I will definitely not let the sect and my senior sisters down." Zhao Gongming accepted the task with a very serious attitude.

Li Zhirui, who was in Tianxing City, never expected that his senior sisters and brothers from Shangqing Dao would adopt his idea so quickly.

He was still worrying about what to say in his next sermon.

We can't repeat ourselves, and we can't talk about anything too profound or mysterious, but there's only so much basic content!
I struggled with the decision for several days before finally settling on the content.

Soon, the day arrived for Li Zhirui's second sermon.

The number of human cultivators flocking to the academy to listen to the teachings has not decreased, but has actually increased!

The reason for this situation is that his reputation soared after he began preaching, attracting more human cultivators from the surrounding area.

The number far exceeded that of the cultivators who were still in seclusion cultivating after their first sermon, so the number of cultivators increased rather than decreased.

Li Zhirui not only accepted this situation, but even hoped that as many human cultivators as possible would come to listen to his teachings!

Because of this, his fame among humans will increase, which will in turn make more humans feel favorably toward Shangqing Dao.

The content of this lecture was still basic, but slightly more advanced, in order to make it as easy as possible for all cultivators to understand.

Three days later, Li Zhirui slowly shut his mouth and agreed to begin his third and final sermon in half a month.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

The crowd once again expressed their gratitude in unison, their voices booming and soaring into the sky, lingering for a long time.

Time flies, and soon it was time for the third sermon.

This time, Li Zhirui also only spoke for three days, and it was also about the basics. The difference was that he did not leave immediately after finishing his sermon.

"Today is the last time I will preach. After this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again. So if you have any questions about spiritual practice, you can ask me and I will try my best to answer them."

"Until the sun completely sets and disappears from sight."

It's noon now, and there are still several hours to go.

Upon hearing this, the scene instantly erupted like a boiling oil pan, with all the cultivators scrambling to raise their hands to ask questions, hoping to be chosen.

Li Zhirui selected people completely randomly, without considering their cultivation level. After all, answering cultivation questions below the Golden Immortal realm was not a difficult task for him.

After answering the last question, the last ray of sunlight disappeared completely.

"Alright, that concludes the sermon."

Although everyone was reluctant to part with them, they did not force them to stay.

"Thank you very much, Master Li, for imparting knowledge and teaching me!"

It's unclear which cultivator spoke first, but soon it turned into a chorus of shouts from all the cultivators.

The sound was like thunder, overwhelming and could be heard clearly for miles around, disturbing countless living beings.

Li Zhirui was deeply moved and smiled, "We hope to meet again someday!"

Having said that, he transformed into a ray of light and vanished instantly.

-

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Thousands of years ago, Duobao left Biyou Island and came to the primordial land to search for the reincarnations of tens of thousands of fallen disciples of the Shangqing Sect.

After so many years of effort, he has successfully found the reincarnations of many disciples and taught them the basic techniques of Shangqing Dao.

Although it's basic, it's enough for them to get back on the path of cultivation. Once they break through to the Loose Immortal realm, they can go to Biyou Island on their own and rejoin the Shangqing Dao.

Once you break through to the Celestial Immortal realm, you will be able to unravel the mystery of your birth and recall your past life's memories.

Only then did they truly return!
However, breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm is not an easy task for these reincarnated beings.

Because their aptitude is far inferior to that of their previous life, there are very few disciples whose aptitude is comparable to that of their previous life, and only a handful of them surpass it.

The achievements over the years have lessened Duobao's sense of guilt and reduced the pressure on him.

However, I still feel very guilty, and my mental block has not been resolved.

This is clearly not an easy problem to solve; otherwise, the Shangqing Daozun would not have entrusted this matter to Duobao in the first place.

Wasn't the purpose of this incident to lessen his guilt and distress, allowing him to break through his mental barriers and advance his spiritual realm?

However, Duobao is not thinking about these things right now. He is still traveling all over the prehistoric land, searching for the whereabouts of the reincarnated disciple.

He would stay for a period of time with each person he found, teaching them the basic cultivation techniques of the Shangqing Dao. Only after they successfully became cultivators would he leave and set off again. (End of Chapter)
