Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2189 - 1564: Fragment_2

”The most important thing is, if we encounter that senior again, he might not ignore us like before.”

Because it’s now certain that there are more trials ahead, these people are not yet competitors, so they are unwilling to stay for them and waste time.

However, if they continue to delve deeper into the relic, it could be another matter.

And faced with the attack of the Profound Immortal, they lack confidence to withstand it.

So, almost all the Heavenly Immortals do not want to take risks, intending to stop here, leave the relic, and go no further, for it is beyond what they can handle.

Yet, there are still a few Heavenly Immortals unwilling to abandon, who, after careful consideration, walked into the portal to the next level.

...

On the other side, Li Zhirui, who had already entered the fourth level, was facing the challenge of this stage.

However, this was no longer a simple battle with puppets, but a test on other aspects.

When he opened his eyes, he found the scene before him had changed; it was not as if he was in the relic, nor had he been transmitted out, but appeared in a lavish palace.

”Sect Leader! Something terrible has happened! Cloud Mountain and Poison Gu Sect have reached an agreement, preparing to jointly attack the mountain gate!” Before Li Zhirui could understand what’s happening, someone rushed into the hall from outside, shouting anxiously.

’Is this the relic’s trial?’

This unclear situation left him confused and unable to understand the reason, causing him to frown and respond hesitantly.

”Sect Leader! The Sect is now in a crisis of overturning and collapsing, please say something! How should we deal with this matter?” That person urged once more.

”Gather all the Elders and Stewards. This matter is of great importance and should be tackled collectively to ensure nothing goes wrong.” Li Zhirui wanted to quickly understand the specific situation, so he made an excuse to dismiss the person.

”Yes!”

After the person left, he immediately released his Divine Sense, covering every corner of the hall, quickly reviewing all the useful Jade Slips and books.

In less than half a moment, Li Zhirui absorbed a wealth of knowledge and understood the situation he was facing.

He is now the Sect Leader of a Heavenly Immortal power known as Qinghua Sect. Including him, there are seven Heavenly Immortals and dozens of Earth Immortals, making it quite powerful.

And the Cloud Mountain and Poison Gu Sect, who are about to launch an attack, though slightly inferior in strength, if they join forces, would be much stronger than Qinghua Sect.

This is why the person who rushed into the hall was in such panic.

After Li Zhirui understood his predicament, a sudden voice emerged in his mind, making his expression somewhat peculiar.

”So my next test is to lead Qinghua Sect safely through this calamity?”

Raising his eyebrows, he murmured, ”The better you perform, the higher the score, and this relates to the final inheritance.”

He was very curious now about how powerful the force that set up this inheritance relic was before it was destroyed...

The previous experiences didn’t surprise Li Zhirui because they were too simple, with nothing much to set up.

But this test left him very astonished, and it was the first time he truly felt the might of that force!

Because Li Zhirui realized he was not trapped in an Illusionary Realm, as no matter how it’s set up, an Illusionary Realm could never be this real, but had entered a special Spirit Realm constructed from historical fragments.

Or rather, it’s a severely incomplete, endlessly repeating world.

If he was initially angry about being coerced into this, now Li Zhirui was genuinely intrigued by this inheritance!

Because being able to intercept historical fragments and construct a world from them, such a method is definitely beyond what a Profound Immortal can possess.

Whether a Golden Immortal can achieve this, he was unsure due to his lack of understanding about Golden Immortals, unable to provide an accurate answer, but at the very least, there is a Golden Immortal realm.

Even in the worst-case scenario, it’s still a Golden Immortal inheritance!

For Li Zhirui, a cultivator whose Immortal Realm Cultivation Method is still incomplete, the allure of this inheritance is immensely significant.

In fact, compared with this, matters like cause and Karmic Force become trivial.

As he contemplated how to resolve the current crisis of Qinghua Sect, a group of Elders and Stewards entered the hall, all bowing and saluting: ”Greetings, Sect Leader.”

”No need for formalities, please have a seat.”

Li Zhirui waved his hand and said, ”I believe you’ve already understood the purpose of gathering everyone here. May I know your thoughts on this matter, or solutions you might suggest?”

”Sect Leader, there are a lot of conflicts and grudges between Cloud Mountain and Poison Gu Sect themselves, will they truly work together as one? I don’t think so!”

An Elder stood up and said, ”So we should seize this opportunity to sow discord between the two, causing them to suspect each other and fail to unite.”

”Hmm, that’s a very good idea. Then please have Elder immediately arrange for someone to handle this matter.”

Subsequently, Li Zhirui looked at the other Elders and asked, ”Does anyone else have any other ideas?”

”We could set traps in the direction they are coming from to weaken their forces...”

”Summon the disciples stationed outside to return to the mountain gate.”

...

These Elders proposed many seemingly useful ideas.

And because Li Zhirui was not very familiar with these two forces, but the Elders should be clear, as long as their suggestions were somewhat feasible and not particularly outrageous, he would agree and let them try.

Even if they’re ultimately unsuccessful, it doesn’t matter, they could be forced to retreat, engage in a battle, and decide the outcome.

Under all sorts of arrangements, and with Qinghua Sect holding the geographical advantage, victory shouldn’t be difficult.

So initially, he didn’t think this test was very difficult and should be fairly completed.

But soon, he suddenly reacted – this was a piece of historical fragment, and the ideas of those Elders had been realistically implemented!

But reconsidering his test objective, which was to lead Qinghua Sect through this disaster.

This implies that in real history, Qinghua Sect failed!

With so many Elders working together, proposing genuinely effective solutions, yet still failing?! Where did it go wrong?

”Did I overlook something?”

Li Zhirui furrowed his eyebrows, continuously evolving the matter in his mind, seeking possible flaws.

Suddenly, a flash of Spirit Light came, as if he thought of something, he suddenly stood up, fully unleashing his Divine Sense to completely encompass the mountain gate.

The remaining Elders in the hall looked over in surprise, their eyes filled with doubt and curiosity.

They couldn’t comprehend how their Sect Leader’s powers became so strong, nor why he made such a move.

The quickest way for a powerful force to collapse?

That would naturally be an internal issue.

That’s why he suddenly monitored the entire mountain gate to see if they could find any traitors or moles.

As expected, Li Zhirui discovered several cultivators acting suspiciously, instantly locking them with Divine Sense, making them immobile.

”Go and capture those disciples I’ve marked, they turned out to be moles from Cloud Mountain and Poison Gu Sect infiltrated within the Sect!” He casually instructed a few Elders, directing them to bring those disciples to the hall.

He didn’t immediately act to kill those disciples, as he had his motives, which were to use them to send false information to Cloud Mountain and Poison Gu Sect, greatly weakening their strength.

Moreover, he wanted to see if there were people from the opposing forces among these Elders.

Li Zhirui didn’t believe that just some disciples of mediocre status and cultivation could drastically change the battle.

They should merely be henchmen, likely hidden among the middle and upper echelons of Qinghua Sect are people from the opposing forces!

In just a moment, all those cultivators were brought into the hall.
