Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2093 1515: Comparison (Part 2)

If this continues, perhaps in a few thousand or tens of thousands of years, with his long-term perseverance, he might be able to take it a step further.

Li Zhirui naturally doesnʼt want to wait that long, nor does he want to adopt this method, and he has already thought of a better way. If successful, he could truly take this step and break into the Profound Immortal Realm!

And this method is Divine Union with Heaven and Earth!

Simply put, it means the Spiritual Soul enters into the Sea of Laws, getting close enough to the laws to ʼseeʼ them more comprehensively and completely, and more easily comprehend them, enhancing his control over the laws.

But why is such a good method rarely practiced by anyone?

The reason is simple: itʼs too dangerous, extremely dangerous!

The Sea of Laws is an excellent place, where the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws converge; the magnificent and beautiful scenery is also very captivating, making it the Holy Land that all pursuing beings dream of.

However, this Holy Land is not safe, and can even be said to be extremely dangerous.

Moreover, this danger is not only targeted at Heavenly Immortals; even Profound Immortals and Golden Immortal Great Powers dare not enter easily, as one might carelessly get attracted by the infinitely mysterious laws and become engrossed!

If they cannot wake in time, they will soon be assimilated by the laws, and from then on, become part of the laws, unable to ever leave the Sea of Laws!

Perhaps only those at a higher realm like Taiyi, or even Daluo, can enter the Sea of Laws without much concern.

Not to mention, Li Zhirui is currently in Void Chaos, and the level of the Sea of Laws now is much higher than when he was in the Primal Spirit Realm, and also more dangerous.

Therefore, this decision of his is very adventurous and impulsive, and carelessness might lead to instant Daoist assimilation and annihilation!

But with Li Zhiruiʼs stubborn nature, once he decides on something, he generally doesnʼt change his mind, especially since the Sea of Laws is not somewhere one can go casually!

Even if he wants to enter the Sea of Laws, he must first find the entrance.

And the simplest yet most difficult method is to meditate and comprehend laws in seclusion.

Itʼs simple because everyone can do it and the threshold is very low, but the difficulty lies in the fact that the vast majority of beings cannot step inside, merely lingering at the entrance.

The method Li Zhirui adopted was this one, for which he still had some confidence and assurance.

Having made up his mind, he began to act; his mind became silent, his breathing calm, and his Divine Sense expanded to cover an area within a thousand miles.

Carefully and patiently feeling the rhythm of the surrounding chaos, his breathing slowly adjusted, and before long, it completely synchronized with the chaos rhythm.

At this time, if someone were observing Li Zhirui from the outside, they would be surprised to find that although he appeared to be sitting in the Void, he gave the illusion of being seamlessly integrated with the chaos, indistinguishable from it!

During this process, he began to draw upon the Purification Principle, starting his comprehension, progressively achieving Divine Union with Heaven and Earth, and raising his vision constantly.

Not knowing how much time had passed, when he opened his eyes, he discovered he had successfully reached the Sea of Laws!

”This method indeed works.”

It looked simple, but the step of Divine Union with Heaven and Earth stopped many beings.

Li Zhirui did not dwell much upon it; he instantly gathered his consciousness to explore the Mysterious Space filled with laws, searching for the existence of the Purification Principle.

Itʼs important to note that the longer one stays, the greater the pressure one faces. With his current cultivation and realm, he couldnʼt withstand much longer, so he had to hurry.

Knowing the position of the Purification Principle, his goal was to comprehend it fully to aid his own breakthrough into the Profound Immortal Realm!

Fortunately, Li Zhirui had some special connection with the Purification Principle, and following this connection, he quickly found its location.

Literally wasting no time, he concentrated all his attention on comprehending it.

In the past, he could only superficially observe the Purification Principle, but this time, he saw it more completely and thoroughly.

Instantly, Li Zhirui had many new insights into the Purification Principle, as if his realm were wildly improving.

It seemed he had already broken through to the Profound Immortal and was heading towards Golden Immortal Realm, and the Golden Immortal status was so close, almost within reach, causing Li Zhirui to unwittingly become engrossed, unable to extricate himself.

And in a corner unknown to him, Dao Rhyme had already permeated his Spiritual Soul, beginning to assimilate him!

At this rate, it wouldnʼt take long before Li Zhirui would completely assimilate, leaving behind only an empty body.

”What?!”

At the most dangerous moment for him, he suddenly let out a muffled groan and instantly regained his clarity before tumbling out of the Sea of Laws and returning to his body in the Void.

Sweating profusely, Li Zhirui opened his eyes, his face pale, gasping heavily, just a little bit more! If he had awakened a moment later, he would have already become part of the Purification Principle.

He narrowly escaped calamity thanks to the warning of his Taoist Body, allowing him to evade danger at the most perilous moment.

Though the situation had been extremely precarious, and he had narrowly avoided death and Dao disappearance, fortunately, Li Zhirui had successfully endured and gained significant rewards.

First, the most important thing he valued—his realm improvement—had indeed been achieved. Whether it would allow him to break through the bottleneck depended on his subsequent secluded meditation and comprehension.

Secondly, his Spiritual Soul had been partly assimilated by the Purification Principle, not significantly, but entangled with the Spiritual Soul. If it wasnʼt completely cleared, it would be an obstacle to his breakthrough.

However, this situation had both advantages and disadvantages.

The benefit was that if he could refine this part of the principle, it would greatly aid the improvement of his realm; the downside was that it required a lot of time to resolve, delaying Li Zhiruiʼs cultivation speed.

But there was no choice; this problem had to be resolved, lest recklessly breaking into the Profound Immortal Realm would bring trouble upon himself.

...

Time flew by, and another thousand years passed.

During this time of cultivation, Li Zhirui finally resolved the part of his Spiritual Soul that had been assimilated by the Purification Principle, restoring it to its original state.

Moreover, during this process, his Spiritual Soul, consequently, received some fortification, becoming more resilient.

Just as Li Zhirui was preparing to seize the moment, entering seclusion to break into the Profound Immortal Realm, Qing Si suddenly delivered a message from the space.

”Jiu, Iʼve already reached the peak of the Realm of Human Immortality!” he exclaimed excitedly and impatiently upon emerging from the space, his tone brimming with excitement and thrill.

Though his cultivation pace wasnʼt fast, it was remarkable for a being unable to rein in his heart to have obediently meditated and cultivated for thousands of years.

”Good! You did far better than I expected.”

”I owe it all to Jiu; if not for your words back then, I wouldnʼt have awakened and started focusing on cultivation.” Saying this, Qing Siʼs face revealed a hint of gratitude.

This statement was indeed heartfelt and sincere.

”Your biggest thanks should be to yourself; if not for your own diligence and effort, how could you achieve such a state today?”

Li Zhirui shook his head and said, ”Besides, Human Immortal and Earth Immortal are just the beginning; donʼt slack off, continue to cultivate hard!”

”Yes! This time Iʼm attempting to break into the Earth Immortal Realm, so I thought of leaving the space.”

Though the space is mysterious, it lacks laws and no Heavenly Tribulation test exists, rendering it unsuitable for breakthroughs.

Li Zhirui wasnʼt surprised at this, knowing his cultivation now, it seemed inevitable.

”Perfect, I also plan to break into the Profound Immortal Realm.”

He smiled and said, ”Letʼs compete and see who can break through faster.”

”Sure!” Qing Si unhesitatingly agreed.

Easy to say but hard to execute, for practicing truly is not as straightforward.

Due to the realm gap between the two, Li Zhiruiʼs comprehension of the Purification Principle imposes extreme pressure on Qing Si, making it difficult for him to comprehend the Wind and Thunder Law.

To remedy this, the best solution is for the two to separate, allowing Qing Si to locate another place, then establish a formation for protection and concealment to avoid unforeseen incidents during cultivation.
