Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1923: Chapter 1430: Exploration (2)

The area of the Five Elements Small Realm is not small, and its laws are relatively well-developed. It has even evolved many different kinds of living beings, presenting a scene of prosperity and vitality.

“You’ve worked hard all these years, and thanks to you, the Five Elements Small Realm has developed so well.” Li Zhirui said sincerely.

Yuhong waved his hand dismissively, saying, “This is also part of my cultivation, no need to be so formal.”

He didn’t say much more and handed over the Chaos God Demon Dao Body method to Yuhong, “Take a look at this secret technique and evaluate it.”

Yuhong looked at Li Zhirui with some surprise. Seeing his reaction, it seemed he valued this secret technique quite a bit!

He then stopped speaking and began seriously examining the Jade Slip, gradually becoming captivated by the secret technique, fully immersed in it.

This was no longer mere reading but comprehension!

Li Zhirui raised an eyebrow and did not disturb him, standing quietly to the side, overlooking the weak and insignificant beings on the earth.

About three days later, Yuhong awoke from his state of comprehension, looking at him with amazement and delight, “What were you thinking? You’ve deduced such a magnificent method!”

Hearing this, Li Zhirui chuckled softly, the corners of his mouth lifting, “Is it as exaggerated as you say? The method is not yet perfected, and even perfected, it cannot be called magnificent.”

Though modest, he couldn’t help but feel proud upon hearing such high praise.

“Don’t be modest, in my opinion, this method completely deserves to be called magnificent.”

Yuhong shook his head, “This opens up another path for countless beings to choose after transcending the Great Thousand World, rather than only going to a higher realm.”

Although the future of this path is uncertain, at least it offers a different choice.

In his view, the future of this secret technique is very bright, perhaps even better than mere routine cultivation.

Thinking of this, Yuhong couldn’t help but praise once more, “You’re a genius to come up with such a method! Perhaps one day you’ll create your own path, become a revered ancestor, and be venerated by all!”

Li Zhirui, however, shook his head, “I’m not the only one to deduce this method.”

Then, he spoke of Li Zhixuan’s situation.

He never overestimates his abilities, so he doesn’t arrogantly believe he’s the sole master of a particular secret technique. After all, in the vastness of the Universe, anything is possible, let alone two similar methods.

Cases like Li Zhixuan’s are certainly not the first, perhaps they’ve already existed, with someone deducing the method in reverse based on their situation.

Though he might not spread it widely, among friends and disciples, someone may be cultivating it.

Yuhong thought for a while and agreed he made a reasonable point, and thus didn’t mention it again, instead, engaging in an intense discussion with Li Zhirui about the method’s details.

“Are you planning to cultivate this method?”

Yuhong’s face fell, turning gloomy, shaking his head, “The method is good, but not suitable for me.”

His true form is not of the human race, but a magic artifact, incompatible with the method.

Of course, this is a minor problem, fixable with time.

What truly obstructs Yuhong is his unusual cultivation path, requiring the comprehension of the Three Thousand Laws, the higher the mastery, the higher the realm.

Though he now mainly cultivates the Yin Yang Law, it only reduces some demands on the other laws, not eliminating them.

Under such circumstances, Yuhong can’t fathom the cost of cultivating the secret technique, and that’s only the beginning. Achieving something with it could require even greater costs!

Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui realized the method indeed wasn’t suitable for him and asked, “Do you think there are any issues or improprieties with the method?”

“Your carefully deduced laws, if I were to carelessly handle them, you couldn’t criticize, but I won’t hide that I haven’t thoroughly reviewed the content.”

Hearing this, Li Zhirui did not disturb Yuhong any further and quietly departed from the Five Elements Small Realm, his Divine Sense returning to his body.

…

The sun rose and fell, and soon days passed, reaching the date Li Zhirui promised Clan Leader Li Xiuyuan.

Knock knock—

A messenger came cautiously to knock on the courtyard gate.

Engaged in the contemplation of a Pill Recipe in his quiet chamber, Li Zhirui naturally heard the sound. After a brief calculation, he knew what it was about, immediately putting away the Jade Slip and walking to the courtyard entrance.

“Ancestor Rui, the Clan Leader has sent me to invite you over.”

“Let’s go then.” Without any hesitation, decisively and directly, the Spirit Light enveloped the two, disappearing in an instant.

“Are they all waiting for me?” When Li Zhirui arrived, everyone else was already present.

“Greetings, Ancestor Rui!” Everyone bowed in unison.

Explaining, “Everyone just arrived not long ago.”

“Let’s go then.”

“Alright.”

The group boarded the Spirit Boat, heading straight for a rather remote station of the Li family.

Hundred Maple Mountain, located north of Mount Wanxian, near the Changli Mountain Range, with average Spiritual Energy but quite scenic, especially in autumn. The mountain, not over a hundred feet tall, seemed as if splashed with paint, vividly colorful and naturally appealing.

Usually tranquil, Hundred Maple Mountain today attracted over a hundred people, suddenly becoming quite lively.

Disembarking from the Spirit Boat into the mountain, everyone began busying themselves, making all sorts of arrangements.

Now they just waited for Li Xiuyuan’s order for specialized clansmen to act, employing the secret technique to open a space rift.

“Don’t look at me, just give the order yourself.”

Li Zhirui, sensing Li Xiuyuan’s gaze, immediately said.

Li Xiuyuan took a deep breath and commanded, “Begin!”

The clansman flicked his fingers, Spirit Light flowing, various complex and mystic spells emerged from his hands, integrating orderly.

The once-empty space in front of him suddenly seemed torn open, a rift appearing, gradually expanding, until forming a complete space rift, no longer requiring the secret technique.

“Wish everyone a safe return!”

For those clan members heading to explore the Outer World, Li Zhirui offered not flowery blessings, but a sincere hope.

Despite the family’s current strength, even if all these members perished in the Outer World, it wouldn’t significantly impact.

Because for the whole family, their strength is negligible, almost insignificant.

Hence, many don’t care much about their life and death, but behind each member is a family.

As this batch of clan members entirely passed through the space rift, heading to the Outer World, Hundred Maple Mountain quieted down considerably, though many eagerly awaited their return, hoping they would bring back precious Spiritual Objects.

Li Zhirui stood aside silently, his presence almost unnoticed, many clan members subconsciously ignoring the presence of this elder.

Suddenly, he stepped forward, heading straight for the space rift.

“Ancestor Rui, are you planning to personally go to the Outer World?” Li Xiuyuan hurriedly asked.

“Just a bit curious about the process of world traversal.”

After a moment of contemplation, he stepped over, leaving a remark, ‘Be back soon,’ disappearing from sight.

Li Xiuyuan felt a bit uneasy, yet maintained a calm demeanor before everyone, urging them to continue waiting.

At this moment, Li Zhirui had arrived in the Outer World.

Upon entering, he immediately felt the various limitations and weakening imposed by the Heavenly Dao, his full strength reduced to perhaps only one-tenth.

And this was considered fortunate, as some worlds impose even more severe Heavenly Dao restrictions, seemingly to keep all Outer Realm beings at bay, reducing them to the extreme if they dare enter.

It’s said that in the most restrictive world, even Human Immortal cultivators can only manifest Mortal Realm strength upon entering.
