Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 769 - 775: Discussion

```

”Jiu, I want to go with you,” Xiaoqing was the first to state her position, with Da Qing and Cang quickly speaking up as well.

Li Zhirui refused them without hesitation, saying, ”None of you can go, because the battlefield is in The Void, and your cultivation levels are not high enough to even set foot in it.”

And if he were only staying behind to craft precious pills without needing to fight, what use would it be to bring along Xiaoqing and the others? It would be better for them to stay on Wanxian Island to cultivate well and protect the family.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent.

”Cultivate diligently, after all, a war of this scale between worlds wonʼt end in a short time. You might even be able to participate someday, and it could be a great opportunity.”

Of course, this assumes the Profound Origin Realm wins. If they lose, naturally, all will be over.

After a long while, Jiang Fengwu finally said, ”Then be careful, and try not to get hurt.”

”Donʼt worry, Iʼll just be crafting precious pills in the rear. Unless itʼs a critical moment, they wonʼt send me to the battlefield,” he reassured.

Meanwhile, at an inn in the West Mountain Marketplace, Elder Song and Yu Xue were discussing Li Zhirui.

”Elder Song, have you discerned the Laws that Li controls?”

The reason for assigning Elder Song was because he had mastered the Insight Rule, enabling him to see through other cultivatorsʼ Laws and make sensible arrangements for their roles, ensuring that everyone could play to their strengths.

Although he couldnʼt see through Li Zhiruiʼs destiny, Elder Song had still ʼseenʼ the Laws he controlled and laughed, ”The Purification Principle, coupled with his alchemy, is worth giving special attention to.”

What determines the grade of a pill is the impurities it contains. If Li Zhirui can use the Power of Laws to elevate lower-grade pills to higher grades, he would receive very strict protection.

”Heʼs a good logistical talent,” Yu Xue summarized coldly.

”You havenʼt seen his strength; how can you know his combat abilities are lacking?”

Yu Xue fell silent, gave a slight bow, and turned to return to her own room.

”Such is the pride of the young,” Elder Song remarked with a sigh before attending to his own business.

The night passed without incident, and the next morning, Li Zhirui quietly left Wanxian Island.

By noon, when Jiang Fengwu saw no sign of Li Zhirui, she pushed open the Alchemy Roomʼs door only to learn he had already left.

Inside the Alchemy Room, the precious pills Li Zhirui had crafted for them were still laid out.

West Mountain Marketplace.

Upon seeing Li Zhiruiʼs arrival, Elder Song laughed, ”Fellow Daoist Li, youʼve arrived quite early.”

”Since Iʼve decided to join, thereʼs no need to dilly-dally,” Li Zhirui responded.

”Then letʼs set off now,” Elder Song proposed.

The trio boarded a Spirit Boat, traveling at great speed toward the west.

With three Divine Transformation cultivators on board, even suicidal cultivators wouldnʼt dare to collide with them. Still, the journey was long, and they couldnʼt reach their destination quickly, so the voyage on the Spirit Boat was quite boring.

To pass the time, the three of them started chatting, or rather, only Li Zhirui and Elder Song talked while Yu Xue remained silent, never speaking.

”May I know if Elder Song could enlighten me regarding the situation on the battlefield?”

”The battlefield, well, thereʼs not much to say, just mutual slaughter. Fortunately, overall, we have the advantage.”

After a momentʼs thought, Elder Song added, ”If you plan to join the battle, you need to be aware of one thing, that is, in The Void, only by utilizing the Power of Laws to attack can you unleash true power. If you use spells and Divine Powers, their effectiveness will be weakened.”

Not only do Laws constitute the foundation of the world, but they are also the basis of a Universe. Hence, the Power of Laws can remain intact even in The Void.

However, spells and Divine Powers are not the same case. To execute them, reliance on Mana is required.

But in The Void, which is filled with Chaotic Spiritual Energy of a higher grade than Mana, using Mana will encounter resistance from this Chaotic Spiritual Energy, thus greatly reducing the potency of spells and Divine Powers.

”Thank you for the guidance, Elder Song.”

Li Zhirui bowed slightly in gratitude, feeling somewhat helpless; the Purification Principle he mastered did not carry additional might, unlike the Thunder or Flame Principles.

Therefore, if he were to fight in The Void, he would be at a disadvantage.

”Elder Song, since our world can be found and invaded by outsiders, is it possible for us to do the same?”

If so, that would allow us to rapidly grow by absorbing other Minor Thousand Worlds.

”Yes, but the Universe is filled with dangers, and itʼs not as simple as attacking a world just because you come across one.”

Also, even if you do find one, how can you be sure of the otherʼs strength?

Elder Song replied with a light smile, ”Just like the present Yuanhao Realm, which attacked with overconfidence but is now at a disadvantage, on the brink of peril.”

Without continuing on this topic, he then said, ”In order to reach the central region quickly, letʼs take turns controlling the Spirit Boat.”

”Alright.” Li Zhirui and Yu Xue naturally had no objections.

”Iʼll start, followed by Fellow Yu Xue, and lastly, it will be Fellow Li, how does that sound?”

Both nodded again, then each entered into their respective cabins, prepared to take their turns when the time came.

Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, more than two months had passed, and they had already entered the central region; it wouldnʼt be long before they reached their destination.

”Seeing the look of joy on your face, Fellow Li, has something good happened?” Elder Song, who was controlling the Spirit Boat, asked Li Zhirui with a smile as he emerged from the cabin.

Without a blush, Li Zhirui lied smoothly, ”Thereʼs been some progress with the Pill Recipe.”

In reality, it was Shen, who had been sleeping in the virtual space, who had undergone a significant change. His true form was originally a third-grade Purple Green Jade Ginseng, but due to the immense Mana feedback from Li Zhiruiʼs Divine Transformation breakthrough, which he couldnʼt refine, he accidentally used it to enhance his grade, and now he had become a fourth-grade Tri-Color Precious Ginseng.

Although there had been no breakthrough in strength, the upgrade in grade was still excellent news, as, for example, Shenʼs future cultivation speed would be much faster than before. Apart from that, there were also improvements in the mastery of Divine Powers, growth in Spiritual Intelligence, etc.

”Elder Song, why are you controlling the Spirit Boat?” Li Zhirui asked curiously. According to the sequence previously discussed, it should have been Yu Xueʼs turn.

”Weʼll be arriving soon, and some checkpoints along the way require my presence, so Iʼll take care of the rest of the journey.”

”Then thank you for your hard work, Elder Song. If thereʼs anything you need, just say the word.”

Through their interactions over time, Li Zhirui had learned that this elder, known by the Taoist name Songshou, was about to undergo Tribulation Transcendence, which meant his status was quite high.

When he first heard this news, Li Zhirui was quite surprised. If it had been him in such a crucial period before the last stage, he would certainly not be running around involving himself in causes and effects, but rather continuing to accumulate and prepare for his breakthrough to Void Refinement.
