Since the sages of the distant ancient era once changed the course of fate, then it is not impossible for them to accomplish such a feat!
In short, they would never accept the Heavenly Dao's abandonnt of the Immortal Dao as the inevitable trend!
...
Sunrise and moonset, ti flew by.
Unnoticed and unremarked, a thousand years passed.
In these thousand years, the cultivation level of the Primal Spirit Realm underwent a trendous surge, unexpectedly giving birth to several Profound Immortal Ancestors within such a short span!
Moreover, they were not all from the Immortal Dao; so belonged to the Demonic Tao, so to the Devil Race, but the most nurous were the Sea Clan!
Among these happenings, two matters drew particular astonishnt.
Firstly, among the three imperial dynasties of the Southern Domain Human Dao, Daqian and Great Zhou joined forces to annex the Great Xia Dynasty!
Afterward, the Emperors of the two dynasties, upon gathering vast Human Dao luck and imperial Dragon energy, successfully advanced to Profound Immortal.
That is to say, the Human Dao—whose history of cultivation is the shortest—has also stepped into the forces of Profound Immortal, managing to catch up with the pinnacle powers of the Primal Spirit Realm.
But this act of annexation by Daqian and Great Zhou greatly alard the other Human Dao kingdoms, each fearing they would be next.
Thankfully, the two imperial dynasties do not currently intend to directly border one another, so between them remain a multitude of smaller states.
The other news is that the Divine Path, to this day, has produced no Profound Immortal Ancestor!
Whether openly or in secret, Profound Immortal does not exist!
And this isn't re speculation by outsiders; it is a ssage disseminated from within the Divine Path itself.
One must rember, the Divine Path is the most ancient cultivation route—though it spent ages dormant, after re-erging, it developed rapidly.
Yet at such a ti, to still lack a Profound Immortal!
This greatly surprised myriad beings; so even suspected the Divine Path purposely released false information.
But little did they know, Ziwei was erupting in furious rage within the Heavenly Court.
In an era where all factions are making advances, but you alone show no progress, that is the epito of falling behind!
And to lag behind is to invite devastation!
Though the Divines rely on their unique identities to avoid disasters of death and Dao dissolution, it is still normal for the Divine Path to forfeit certain benefits.
After venting his fury, Ziwei finally cald and began pondering how to add a Profound Immortal Ancestor to the Divine Path—even a single one would suffice.
The first to spring to mind were those veteran Great Gods, their cultivation unfathomable; Ziwei did not hesitate—if only they were willing to break through, at least an eighty percent chance of success!
Regrettably, they no longer wished to remain in the Primal Spirit Realm. Thus, even were he to command them as Heavenly Emperor, these Great Gods would not heed him.
Other than them, the Divine Path still boasts many Divines at the peak of Heavenly Immortal, such as Ziwei himself, Gouchen, Water God Emperor, and others.
Yet attempting to break through the Profound Immortal Realm is not sothing achievable in the short term—indeed, it might take years, even decades.
After much consideration, Ziwei focused his gaze upon the Human Dao!
Daqian and Great Zhou each produced a Profound Immortal Emperor, so perhaps he could emulate this thod to hasten his own advancent?
Though it ant seeking assistance from the two Human Dao dynasties, this was the only way Ziwei could think to swiftly break through to Profound Immortal!
The thods of Human Dao have long been collected by the Divine Path, but how to actually achieve Profound Immortal still requires instruction from Daqian and Great Zhou.
...
The turmoil in the Primal Spirit Realm bears little relation to the Li family; as cultivation standards rise, the Li family—once barely a first-rate force—has now slipped to second-rate.
However, the Li family remains unconcerned. As Clan Leader Li Debo once said: "No matter what we encounter, only if our own strength is sufficient can we face things with ease."
Moreover, the Li family still reigns as the dominant power in its vicinity; the mbers feel little about their diminished status.
"Ancestor Rui has spent another thousand years in seclusion—perhaps when he erges, he will transcend?" After handling a certain affair, Li Debo's thoughts wandered, inevitably drifting to Li Zhirui.
His tone mingled the joy of Ancestor Rui's transcendence with the sorrow of his impending departure.
Over this millennium, the clan has grown swiftly; though the pace is no longer what it once was, that is simply due to its expanded scale.
In truth, at its current size, the Li family's rate of growth is remarkable—few forces with less strength can manage such gains.
"Clan Leader, this year's Spirit Testing Conference has already concluded. Here is a list of all new disciples' qualifications and nas."
Suddenly, an Elder hurried in, holding out a special Jade Slip with both hands.
This Jade Slip is specially restricted; only by knowing the correct spell can it be opened. Any attempt to force a peek will cause the Jade Slip to explode, harming not only the flesh but also the Sea of Consciousness!
"Understood."
Li Debo responded, and, after the visitor departed, cast a spell to open the Jade Slip.
His Divine Sense swept rapidly through it, but left no trace of anyone's information. After about an hour, he finally finished reviewing the contents.
"This year's new clan mbers' qualifications are slightly better than last year's." One more possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root; a dozen had dual spiritual roots.
Yet, having reached his current Realm, Li Debo no longer attached great importance to qualification, focusing more on temperant and Dao Heart.
But these, unlike spiritual roots, cannot be asured directly by external ans, and must be observed over ti.
Moreover, they are not immutable; encountering certain events may bring about change.
So, for now, Li Debo did not pay much attention, rely taking a cursory glance and sealing the Jade Slip once more with a restriction.
The Li family maintains a strict confidentiality system regarding their mbers' qualifications.
...
Elsewhere, Li Zhirui—whose wellbeing Li Debo fretted over—slowly opened his eyes.
"After a thousand years, at last, I have succeeded!"
As he spoke, an uncontrollable, radiant smile spread across his face.
Li Zhirui nad this cultivation Lotus Containing Dao Technique; he fused various precious lotuses and imrsed himself within, absorbing myriad Dao Rhy, Laws, and essences.
Simply put, it could be likened to a pill furnace, with he himself as the spiritual object within.
Through lengthy refinent, he assimilated all the essences into his body, transforming his life from within and without.
Essentially, this is a variation of a forr thod, rely lowering the difficulty and making it better suited to Li Zhirui.
"Next, it is ti to settle my karma."
Li Zhirui murmured, and with a thought began to enact his thod, observing the situation of corrupt evil forces between Heaven and Earth.
He originally thought it would take more ti, but the results shocked him!
In just a thousand years, corrupt evil forces had grown imnsely!
This rate of growth was unnatural, as if deliberately provoked by sothing.
"What has happened in the Primal Spirit Realm these years?" Li Zhirui was sowhat lost in thought.
He then recalled Lin Changqing's words, gaining a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Dao's ways.
The corrupt evil forces grew too rapidly, so much so that within ten thousand years, there could erupt two world-searing calamities!
Though he would soon leave the Primal Spirit Realm, he still found the situation alarming.
"Ah!"
After a long silence, Li Zhirui could only sigh.
Such matters were beyond the abilities of a re Heavenly Immortal cultivator—even breaking through to Profound Immortal would scarcely change that.
Thus, Li Zhirui crushed such distracting thoughts, refusing to let them disturb his mind, maintaining calm and peaceful composure.
After erging from seclusion, he did not imdiately purify the accumulated corrupt evil of the Primal Spirit Realm, but asked Li Debo to co at once; he had important instructions to pass on.
Upon receiving the transmission talisman, Li Debo understood instantly—his family's ancestor was about to transcend!
His heart, naturally heavy with reluctance, but at this command, he dared not delay.
Soon, he saw Li Zhirui—dressed in plain azure robes, long dark hair loosely bound—resting in the pavilion.
"Ancestor Rui, what instructions do you have for ?"
