Li Zhixuan, however, was not in a hurry to leave. After restoring her Mana, she investigated the surroundings and discovered that the local Immortal Dao influences had all been destroyed by the Devil Beasts, while the mortals had been directly corralled by them.
"These Devil Beasts are really audacious! What are those nearby Immortal Dao powers doing? Are they completely unaware of the situation here!?" Li Zhixuan was sowhat angry.
One must know that after cultivating the Sword Tao of Slaughter, her emotions and ntal State rarely fluctuated greatly, so being this angry was almost reaching her limit!
Possibly because, in the Li Family, the relationship between the cultivators and the secular clansn was not as distant as in other cultivation families, it was quite harmonious, so the cultivators of the Li Family had a better attitude towards mortals.
If they encountered human race mbers being oppressed by Devil Beasts, they would most likely choose to help within their capabilities.
At that ti, Li Zhirui did just that, as did Jiang Fengwu and Li Zhixuan.
However, this was not sothing Li Zhixuan could solve alone, and it was impossible for her to support the establishnt of the Great Zhou Dynasty as Li Zhirui did, staying for decades, so she had to find soone to help.
She could be a good enforcer, dealing with those Devil Beasts that might try to interfere. If she got lucky, she might even kill a Human Immortal Realm Devil Beast, which would be a huge profit!
Even an inch of flesh and blood from a Human Immortal Beast is extrely valuable as a Spiritual Object, not to ntion its fangs, claws, and pelt.
...
After Li Zhixuan left, Li Zhirui began a new round of closed-door cultivation.
The family’s developnt had reached a point where it no longer required his constant attention, and even if a major event occurred, there were other clan mbers to discuss and explore options.
So, in a peaceful ti with no significant matters and no bottlenecks in cultivation, choosing to engage in closed-door cultivation was entirely typical.
As Li Zhirui ditated on the Laws, his cultivation technique automatically operated within him, absorbing the rich Spiritual Energy from outside. This multi-tasking ability was not uncommon among high-level cultivators; many could do it.
Looking from outside the Cave Mansion, the Spiritual Energy gathered around illuminated it with dazzling splendor. Strands of Water and Wood Spiritual Qi were stripped away and were unconsciously inhaled and absorbed by him.
Against the backdrop of blue and green Spirit Light, Li Zhirui’s skin faintly reflected a soft hue, his expression calm, resembling a lifelike jade sculpture.
At the sa ti, his Spiritual Soul searched within the Heavenly Dao Laws. Soon, he skillfully and swiftly located the Purification Principle, a pure white, unblemished rule.
However, with the arrival of Li Zhirui’s Spiritual Soul, it was like a black bead suddenly dropping into a basin of clear water, standing out conspicuously.
In that mont, although the Purification Principle had no consciousness, it attempted to expel the intruder according to its rule, acting instantaneously.
In this process, more, more comprehensive, and even so hidden content of the Laws would be revealed. Naturally, Li Zhirui couldn’t miss such a golden opportunity.
But to avoid being expelled by the Laws, he quickly transford himself into a strand of pure white Spirit Light, seemingly rging into the rule.
This act seed simple, but it stumped many Loose Cultivators and even those in the Human Immortal Realm!
Because the prerequisite for achieving this was thorough understanding and high mastery of the Laws. Failing to et these conditions and acting rashly would only provoke more intense reactions from the Laws.
And even achieving it is just the beginning. The real test cos after rging into the Law when your entire being will be enveloped by it, beginning assimilation!
If you cannot remain sober and hold onto your true self during the assimilation, you would truly beco part of the Law, known as Daoist transformation.
However, Li Zhirui was already well-practiced; when he truly could not hold on, he would swiftly extract himself, separating from Mingming Land to return to his body.
Each ti he comprehended the Laws, it took a significant toll on his Spiritual Soul. Hence, the stronger and more robust the Spiritual Soul of a cultivator, the greater the advantage as cultivation progresses.
After all, a powerful Spiritual Soul allows soone to stay longer within the Laws, comprehending more of them.
Li Zhirui was exemplary among such individuals!
His Spiritual Soul was naturally strong, and he also practiced Visualization Skill, persisting from the very beginning until today!
However, it was no longer the initial Divine Turtle Sea Suppression Visualization thod, but the more effective Five Spirits Divine Beast Sky Pillar Visualization thod.
It is unknown whether there was so connection between the two Visualization thods, but when Li Zhirui switched, it not only went smoothly without the slightest hindrance but also allowed him to transform the Divine Turtle directly into one of the Five Spirits Heavenly Pillars.
A strong Spiritual Soul was also a vital reason why his cultivation speed was much faster than ordinary cultivators.
Other reasons included ample cultivation resources, a steadfast Dao Heart, and good luck and opportunities.
However, the latter two are quite vague and unpredictable.
...
In the mountains, there is no concept of ti; cold fades without being aware of the year.
Two hundred years of ti passed in an instant.
Perhaps due to so brewing, the Primal Spirit Realm remained relatively calm over these two centuries, with no major wars breaking out.
During this peaceful period, the strength of various factions grew rapidly.
Not to ntion, in this ti, the Li Family saw the ergence of three Scattered Immortal clan mbers, naly Li Yunliang, Li Xinjiao, and Li Xingjian.
Li Xingjian had the smallest seniority among them, but he was the first to break through, and he also practiced Sword Dao. However, unlike Li Zhixuan, his Thunder Spirit Root guided him on the path of the Thunderbolt Fast Sword.
His speed was like the wind; his force, like thunder, with formidable combat strength. Shortly after breaking through, he could already fight Li Yunran to a standstill.
The number of people in Integration, Mahayana, and other Mortal Realm clans grew even more.
It was apparent that the Li Family had begun converting its inheritance systematically, unlike before when it was solely supported by ’old antiques’ like Li Zhirui and Li Zhixuan.
The Li Family’s strength had made a significant leap, and they could now invest power to formally develop the western regions of Shanhai State, where they previously had little control.
They designated Immortal Spirit Mountain, where the spiritual energy was densest in the west, as the western center and arranged many clan mbers to develop it.
Of course, these clan mbers were not to settle permanently in Immortal Spirit Mountain. Doing so might lead to a family split, detrintal to familial unity.
Therefore, all clan mbers going to Immortal Spirit Mountain were set to be rotated every century.
Such a ti fra was not long, even for Integration and Void Refinent clan mbers, and was entirely acceptable.
In this way, the Li Family ford three core centers: Immortal Spirit Mountain in the west, Mount Wanxian in the center, and Wanling Island in the east.
Of course, Mount Wanxian remained the core of cores, the foundation of the Li Family, as all clan mbers originated from there.
After all, it was the family’s foundation.
...
In the mountains, there is no passage of ti, the cold passing unnoticed for years.
Two hundred years went by, and the Primal Spirit Realm remained fairly calm, without significant conflicts erupting.
During this peaceful era, the power of all factions grew rapidly.
And in this period, the Li Family saw the birth of three mbers of the Scattered Immortal Clan, naly Li Yunliang, Li Xinjiao, and Li Xingjian.
Among them, Li Xingjian was the youngest, yet his combat strength was formidable, following the path of the Thunderbolt Fast Sword with a speed like the wind and force like thunder. Shortly after breaking through, he could already stand alongside Li Yunran.
Overall, the numbers of Integration, Mahayana Realm clansn increased even more.
It appeared the Li Family had already achieved an orderly transformation, unlike the previous instability, leading to a significant enhancent of power.
The Li Family has made a great leap in power. They can now invest in and develop the western areas of Shanhai State with low original control.
They have designated Immortal Spirit Mountain as the center of the west, positioning many clan mbers there for developnt.
Of course, these clan mbers were not going to be permanently stationed at Immortal Spirit Mountain. If they were to do so, they would rotate every hundred years, sothing acceptable even for Integration and Void Refinent clan mbers.
As a result, the Li Family now has three core centers: Immortal Spirit Mountain in the west, Mount Wanxian as the central core, and Wanling Island to the east.
However, Mount Wanxian is the core of it all, the very foundation of the Li Family, since all clan mbers originated from here, after all.
...
anwhile, in the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area, the previously clear sky suddenly erupted with fierce howling gales. The seawater was whipped up to create a torrential downpour in the sky.
This sudden teorological anomaly caught the attention of nurous cultivators. So loose cultivators were terrified, worried that the Sea Devils were once more creating trouble.
Whoosh——
The gale in the sky grew increasingly fierce, as though it intended to destroy everything. Nurous cyclonic fire wheels appeared over the sea’s surface, rapidly expanding, creating a scene that looked like the end of the world.
Many loose cultivators and mbers of the Li Family had already gathered on Wanling Island to maintain their position.
"Don’t worry, nothing will happen. If sothing were really going to happen, why would I let so many clan mbers remain in danger?"
Li Yunliang had already confird what was happening, so he provided a clear response, imdiately quelling the atmosphere of fear.
