Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2275 - 1606: Taiyi

Although the disciples of the Yuanmu Gate are weak, since their inheritance has continued for so long, there must still be some unique aspects.

Li Zhirui’s idea is straightforward: absorb the essence of the Hundred Schools and integrate it into the cultivation techniques he created, further refining and enhancing the techniques.

For any faction, the Scripture Pavilion is the most important and critical core and naturally protected by formations. To safely dismantle the formation, he spent quite some effort before successfully unlocking it.

As soon as he entered, he used his divine sense to scan every corner of the Scripture Pavilion to see if there were any hidden rooms.

The result was that he had overthought it. However, fortunately, this action also gave Li Zhirui a general understanding of the Scripture Pavilion. Like most Scripture Pavilions, the most important and valuable methods are stored on the highest level!

It’s not that the other scriptures and methods didn’t contain content beneficial to his cultivation. After all, even treasures can be tarnished with dust.

It’s just that there are too many methods to look through in a short time, so he simply started with the smallest number first.

Moreover, on the highest level, there was a room with some things that aroused his interest.

Soon, Li Zhirui arrived at the top floor.

This level had only two rooms, one large and one small. He went to the small room first.

Pushing the door open, he found that there were no jade slips or scriptures inside; the entire room was covered with extremely complex array patterns.

”This looks somewhat like a teleportation array pattern?”

Not being an Array Master, Li Zhirui could only speculate. Whether or not it was the case would have to be determined by the Array Masters trained by the sect.

Subsequently, in the center of the room, near what seemed like the Array Eye, he saw a few spirit stones that had exhausted their spiritual energy.

If his guess was correct, then some Yuanmu Gate cultivators must have escaped via the teleportation array.

Li Zhirui wasn’t surprised by this, as many factions had such means to continue their inheritance, just like the Tongtian Sect once left behind a site of inheritance.

”In the end, there were still remnants left behind.” He sighed helplessly and put the matter out of his mind.

The situation had already happened, and nobody knew where they had run off to. There was no point in dwelling on it, so why find trouble for himself?

Then, Li Zhirui headed towards the other large room.

The room was not small, but it was quite empty, with not many things placed inside—only five jade pillars that looked radiant with spirit light.

Each was specially protected by a shield, which served as a second layer of protection for the valuable techniques.

But such small measures were nothing for Li Zhirui, who quickly solved them one by one.

He drew the five jade slips to himself, infused his divine sense into them, focused his heart spirit, and began to examine them seriously.

The Yuanmu Gate, being an old and influential Heavenly Immortal force, indeed had some depth.

Among the five jade slips, one recorded the exploration of the Profound Immortal, hoping that through this method, Yuanmu Gate could eventually give rise to a Profound Immortal.

One of the other jade slips recorded a Heavenly Gang divine power for Mediation Creation!

This was ranked first among the thirty-six Heavenly Gang methods!

If one could cultivate it to the deepest realm, creating something from nothing would be entirely possible!

To beings who studied the Creation Laws, this was the divine power they dreamed of.

Though Li Zhirui had also contemplated the Creation Laws for a while, he had never delved deeply, so he could barely practice Mediation Creation, but that was all. To cultivate it to a deep level? That was practically impossible.

Another jade slip contained very complex and diverse content.

From ideas of certain secret techniques to incomplete methods, everything was recorded in the jade slip.

It could be said that the contents of this jade slip were highly chaotic, with some possibly being priceless and others perhaps worthless.

This gave Li Zhirui an insight—perhaps he could do the same?

Record some sudden ideas instead of dismissing them as absurd or lacking time to perfect, and thus abandoning them.

Who knows, these ideas might bring him some benefits one day?

The remaining two jade slips were the inheritance skills of Yuanmu Gate and the cultivation insights of previous generations of cultivators.

These two jade slips were the foundation of Yuanmu Gate.

At the same time, Li Zhirui understood why the strength of Yuanmu Gate cultivators was so weak, unlike that of ordinary cultivators.

It turned out that they were cultivating a rather special technique called the ”Taiyi Evergreen Nurturing Spirit Tao Scripture,” which required a ’contract’ with a Spirit Tree, similar to his previously cultivated ”Earth Spirit Tao Record.”

However, compared to the ”Earth Spirit Tao Record,” the ’contract’ of the ”Taiyi Evergreen Tao Scripture” was much more troublesome.

The cultivator had to start nurturing from a single spirit seed and carefully tend to it, unlike simply planting it and ignoring it. Only when their auras merged could the final contract be completed.

Thus, as soon as the disciples of Yuanmu Gate embarked on the path of cultivation, they had to receive a spirit seed and find a place to plant it within the mountain gate. When they reached the Golden Core Realm, they could contract with the mature Spirit Tree.

When the Spirit Tree matured to a certain extent, it could help the cultivator absorb spiritual energy, thereby accelerating the cultivation speed of the cultivator.

Hence, the cultivation speed of Yuanmu Gate disciples was unparalleled. As long as their Dao Heart and mental state kept up, they could quickly break through and cultivate to the Individual Immortal Realm.

But this type of method all had a very fatal flaw: the Spirit Tree could not be harmed, or else some unfavorable consequences might occur, such as transmitting the injuries to their main bodies.

The reason all the cultivators at Yuanmu Gate were weak during the recent battle was because their contracted Spirit Trees had been harmed.

How was this harm caused?

It was naturally because Li Zhirui shattered the Mountain Protection Array with his own hands!

The rupture of the Mountain Protection Array affected the underground Spirit Vein, impacting the entire Yuanmu Mountain and all the Spirit Trees contracted to the cultivators there.

Then, the injuries to the Spirit Trees were transmitted to the cultivators themselves, drastically weakening their strength.

”I didn’t expect a chance encounter led that Heavenly Immortal disciple to guess correctly.”

A segment of conversation suddenly flashed through Li Zhirui’s mind, and he murmured softly.

He had unintentionally done all the disciples a big favor by directly shattering the Mountain Protection Array, triggering a chain reaction. Otherwise, during the attack on Yuanmu Gate, there would definitely have been significant casualties.

Within the ”Taiyi Qingdi Tao Scripture,” what Li Zhirui valued most was naturally the method of contracting Spirit Trees to assist in absorbing spiritual energy. The reason was simple: it could absorb over fifty percent more spiritual energy in the same period.

At Li Zhirui’s current realm, the importance of spiritual energy had decreased compared to when the realm was low and heavily reliant on spiritual energy.

However, the demand for spiritual energy had not diminished; instead, it had greatly increased.

Especially for him, not only did cultivation require spiritual energy to enhance his realm, but his incomplete Chaos God Demon Dao Body also required vast amounts of chaotic spiritual energy to further grow.

This required a long time to accumulate!

But if Li Zhirui truly integrated the ’Spirit Tree Absorption Method’ from the ”Taiyi Tao Scripture” into his own technique, who knows how much time it could save him?

Therefore, in the upcoming period, he focused all his energy on this matter!

...

The Elder who received Li Zhirui’s ’authorization,’ after he left, began instructing the disciples, saying, ”Everyone, quickly tidy up the battlefield, tally the spoils of this battle, and then we should return to the mountain gate.”

There was no situation where someone was dissatisfied and jumped out wanting to have a competition because although the Elder’s tone was not very pleasant, the tasks made sense, and there were no unreasonable situations.

All disciples swiftly took action; part of them were responsible for cleaning the battlefield and restoring the Spirit Mountain to its original state, while another part searched the mountain for spiritual objects and places like treasure houses.
