Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1258: Chapter 1098: Prologue

However, Li Zhirui’s actions did not stop there. He leaped to the mountaintop and drew a spring from deep underground, placing it there. Soon, gurgling sounds arose, and clear spring water quickly gushed out, transforming this large pit into a lake.

He gathered the Purification Principle, and for a moment, white lotuses emerged from the void, all merging into the lake. The spring water swiftly lost its color; if not for a cold wind blowing by, one would hardly notice this place was actually a lake.

When Jiang Fengwu, Da Qing, and others followed up, they could only see that the lake had sprouted lotus leaves, with a few flower buds hidden among them.

”This place is the Lake of Purification I created using the Purification Principle. White lotuses undergo cycles of life and death within it, accumulating the Power of Purification. In the future, if you need to remove impurities or purify the body, you can take a bowl of Spirit Water from it.”

Li Zhirui’s gaze swept over the crowd, and upon seeing the new Clan Leader, he smiled and said, ”As for how to distribute it, I’ll leave that to you, Clan Leader.”

Li Yunchang was stunned at his words and immediately nodded repeatedly, saying, ”Thank you, Ancestor Rui, for considering the clan members. I, Li Yunchang, on behalf of the clan, thank Ancestor Rui!”

Li Zhirui smiled at his words, thinking him to be a clever person. ”No need for such formality. The family should support and help each other by nature.”

”Jiu is exactly right!”

Li Zhixuan stepped out with a faint smile, drawing the Mysterious Sword from her back and slashing it at a bluestone on the other side of the mountaintop. Amazingly sharp Sword Qi, yet it didn’t shatter the stone, only leaving a blood-red sword mark.

”The Sword Stone contains my insights on the Sword Dao, and clan members are welcome to comprehend them. However, I practice the Killing Skill, so even if I use the Sword Dao, there may still be a hint of killing intent. Therefore, those without a firm Dao Heart should not force it.”

Li Yunchang bowed again, once more expressing his gratitude.

”Zhixuan, long time no see!” Li Zhirui smiled, genuinely surprised to see an old friend again in the Primal Spirit Realm after so many years.

”Yes, when you all left back then, you didn’t tell me,” she said with a semblance of complaint but with no hint of grievance in her tone.

Li Zhixuan knew in her heart that even if she had known at that time, she couldn’t have followed the family. She still had karma yet to repay.

In fact, telling her might have left some obstacles in her heart, unfavorable to future cultivation.

Li Zhirui shook his head, not continuing on this topic, as most of the clan members present didn’t know about the Li family’s past history.

Moreover, they couldn’t be allowed to know, or it would bring disaster upon the family!

”There’s no need to hold the Immortal Ascension Ceremony. Tomorrow, I will give a talk for the family members; a private celebration will suffice.” Li Zhirui said to Li Yunchang, advising him.

”Ancestor Rui, this...”

Li Yunchang was anxious at his words, just wanting to speak and try to change his mind, only to be directly interrupted by Li Zhirui, who said, ”The great change of heavens and earth is impending; it’s better to stockpile some resources for the future rather than waste them on a banquet.”

”Yes! I understand.” Li Yunchang’s face showed a trace of shock as he nodded repeatedly, already beginning to make plans in his mind.

”Go back, the wind at the mountaintop is strong. Any issues can be discussed tomorrow.”

Li Zhirui waved his hand, summoned a gentle breeze, and sent everyone away.

He returned to his Cave Mansion, starting to explore the changes in the space within and the Cave Heaven.

The space area expanded tenfold compared to before, and the Spiritual Energy was denser. Various terrains appeared, looking like a real world.

But on careful observation, you would find the space was still just a peculiar space.

There were no sun, moon, or stars, no day or night, much less the Three Thousand Laws that constitute the foundation of a world.

However, in the space, the Cave Heaven which originally relied on the Five Elements Immortal Root to be opened was something else!

Having been elevated to a Minor Thousand World, its area was only a thousand miles in radius. The land was cracked and barren, with only occasional hints of green; the sky was gray and gloomy, with the sun, moon, and stars dim and dull, looking like a world on the brink of destruction.

If there was something special, it was the huge Five Elements Immortal Root in the center of the world, it seemed like a pillar holding up the sky, preventing heaven and earth from closing in.

Originally, the Cave Heaven was parasitic on the Five Elements Immortal Root, but now, the expansion of the Minor Thousand World absorbed the root.

Yet despite such an apocalyptic scene in the Minor Thousand World, Li Zhirui displayed a happy, excited smile.

Because in this desolate and decayed, ruined landscape, it possessed the fundamental aspect that allows a world to maintain operation, and that is the Laws!

But because what it absorbed were the incomplete Laws from the Tribulation Thunder, this Minor Thousand World was very imperfect in all respects.

Fortunately, Li Zhirui took the Five Elements as the root, and with the blessings of the Five Elements Immortal Root and Five Viscera Gods, the Five Elements Laws are sufficiently complete. With time, they will intertwine and gradually perfect other related laws.

Moreover, Li Zhirui can also choose to let the Minor Thousand World devour Spiritual Objects containing various laws to speed up the growth of corresponding laws.

And comprehend other laws, but this method is not only difficult but also the slowest to see results!

It’s hard enough for a cultivator to comprehend and master one law, and almost no one would put effort into a second law.

Because it’s not worth it!

The cost and income are entirely disproportionate.

Moreover, laws cannot coexist peacefully, especially when encountering mutually restraining laws like water and fire, which will not only bring no benefits but rather disaster!
