Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1302: Chapter 1121: Demand

Everything was ready. After bathing and burning incense, Li Zhirui ascended the altar, and all the steps were carried out according to the previous Divine Enthronement of the Sea Clan.

Pray to the Heavenly Dao, offer the sacrifices, and request deification.

Li Zhirui solemnly and reverently completed everything, holding a decree in both hands, bowing with humility, waiting for a response from the Heavenly Dao.

Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, a group of clansmen below the stage felt uneasy, worried that the Heavenly Dao might consider Li family presumptuous, and not only refuse but even bring disaster instead.

Li Zhirui, on the altar, also felt a little uneasy, puzzled as to why, despite following the same procedures as the Sea Clan with only a slight modification in the ritual words, the Li family still did not get approval?

Could it be just because of that minor modification?

It shouldn’t be! After all, the Sea Clan’s decrees were all for Water Gods, but the Li family also had other Divines.

Was it because this part of the ritual words was incorrect?

Li Zhirui’s thoughts were in disarray, but he couldn’t find the root cause of the problem.

A whole hour passed, and still, there was no movement.

Just as Li Zhirui was about to give up, the decree in his hands suddenly turned into blue smoke, rising into Tianming.

A vast, profound will suddenly appeared, enveloping the sky above Mount Wanxian.

Everyone immediately felt that this was the will of the Heavenly Dao!

Would it agree, or abandon it?

Not long after, dozens of Spirit Lights descended, enveloping the chosen clansmen of the Li family.

And the various Spiritual Objects prepared by the Li family also began to lose their spiritual luster, turning into ordinary objects.

Clearly, the Heavenly Dao had given its answer, approving the Li family’s request for deification.

When the Spirit Lights dissipated, dozens of clansmen, whose temperament had greatly changed and now held more Spiritual Objects in their hands, appeared before everyone.

From then on, they became the Mountain God, Water God, and Earth God of Shanhai State.

In the Divine Domain, they could mobilize more power, having strength far beyond the same level, but if they left the Divine Domain, this empowerment would not be present, and they would instead be somewhat weakened.

The advantages and disadvantages of becoming Divine had been explained to the clansmen before, so none of them felt dissatisfied; instead, they were thrilled and excited to have gained more lifespan and found a new path to seek the Dao and enhance their strength.

Sigh——

Li Zhirui gently exhaled a breath of turbid air; he truly thought the request for deification would fail just now, but in the end, it seemed the Heavenly Dao changed its mind.

Was it Cheng Sheng, Cheng Shuo, who did something behind the scenes?

That’s the only possibility he could think of that might influence the Heavenly Dao among the clansmen.

’I can only wait until Shuo returns to the family to inquire about the specific reason.’

Li Zhirui collected his thoughts and said, ”The Heavenly Dao has completed the Divine Enthronement, presumably you all know your future duties. I hope you do not violate them and do more things beneficial to Heaven and Earth; this is the correct path to enhance your strength!”

”If you commit any wicked deeds, even if the family doesn’t know, the Heavenly Dao will not spare you.”

”Yes!” Everyone’s heart tightened, and they quickly responded.

After advising and admonishing them, Li Zhirui let them return to their Divine Domains and left the place as well.

”Jiu, is there anything wrong?” Li Zhixuan, who came after him, asked.

She observed from the outside, feeling less deeply than Li Zhirui, who presided over the deification, but she could still see such an obvious problem.

”Hmm, I felt the Heavenly Dao might not have wanted to agree at first, but it changed its mind in the end, possibly due to Sheng or Shuo doing something.”

Li Zhirui sighed and said, ”I was too impulsive and reckless in handling matters this time. If I had asked them in advance, perhaps there wouldn’t have been such an accident.”

”If so, I believe Shuo will return soon. We can ask her then.”

”Yes, although the process had some twists, fortunately, the outcome was good.” Da Qing and others beside him spoke up, telling Li Zhirui not to worry too much.

Seeing this, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but smile lightly and said, ”When have I become so worried in your eyes?”

”Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

After chatting leisurely with everyone, they all went their separate ways.

But upon returning to his Cave Mansion, Li Zhirui’s expression instantly became calm. He lowered his eyes, quietly reflecting on his actions during this period.

He originally thought that by practicing the Path of Purification and mastering the Purification Principle, the Catastrophic Qi of the great catastrophe would not affect him, but now it seemed that it did, subtly and silently, making Li Zhirui unaware of it.

It was not until this decision almost caused a great disaster that he reacted!

However, Li Zhirui did not become mired in it. Since things had already happened and the problem was identified, he just needed to think of a way to remedy and solve it.

Li Zhirui closed his eyes, letting his mind sink into the Sea of Consciousness, searching for the Catastrophic Qi that shrouded him.

Soon, blossoms of Purifying White Lotus emerged from the sea surface, quickly dispelling the Catastrophic Qi.

”Cultivation is like sailing against the current; if you don’t advance, you fall back! The Dao Heart is like a bright mirror, needing constant polishing!”

In the low whispers, Li Zhirui seemed to have entered a Mysterious Space, where a complete Path of Purification appeared before his eyes.

No one knew how long had passed, whether it was a moment or a hundred years.

Li Zhirui only felt his body plummet downwards, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in the familiar meditation room, as if the previous scene had merely been an illusion.

But he knew in his heart he had indeed witnessed the Path of Purification up close and clearly due to the realization he had just now!

Because Li Zhirui’s mind was now filled with much insight into the Path of Purification, and his mastery of the Purification Principle had improved significantly.

”It truly is an unexpected joy!”

Li Zhirui sighed, amazed that such profound gains came from a single moment of introspection.
