Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Li Zhirui's expression remained unchanged, and the magic power in his body gushed out, all transformed into thunder and attacked head-on. The next moment, a large amount of water curtain was erected in front of him, and giant trees intertwined into a canopy, sheltering the whole person.

boom!
The lightning offset most of the thunder, and the broken pieces of lightning fell on the giant tree. The purple light and the green light continued to fight, and finally the thunder dissipated, and a part of the canopy was charred black.

Li Zhirui injected magic power to restore Huagai's defense, and at the same time began to brew magical powers to fight against the next thunder.

The thunder was violent and powerful, and even had a hint of fire.

It collided with Li Zhirui's magical power and immediately turned into thousands of sparks that fell down, igniting a raging fire around him. The weakened thunder also struck the giant tree. The flames soon suppressed the green light, and the canopy was completely ignited.

"Ah!"

Li Zhirui sneered and clasped his hands together. Water vapor within a radius of dozens of miles gathered quickly, forming a huge, slightly pouring, cold lake in the air. The lake water roared down like a giant dragon, and the raging fire was extinguished soon.

"It's the last thunder!" Li Chengshuo murmured, with anticipation, tension and worry intertwined in her eyes.

The same is true for Jiang Fengwu, Li Chengsheng and others.

The tribesmen behind them were even more excited, and many of them had joy on their faces. In their opinion, it was relatively easy for Li Zhirui to deal with the previous eight thunders, and even if the power of the last thunder increased, it would not cause any harm to him.

As for the inner demon calamity, there is no need to mention it. With Li Zhirui's Taoist heart, he will definitely be able to overcome it quickly.

As long as a while passes, the Li family will be able to go one step further and become the only Mahayana force in the surrounding states!
By then, they will have more face and be more respected when gaining experience abroad.

The appearance of the last thunderbolt seemed to tear the entire sky apart. The thick lightning smashed down directly from the sky without any pause.

The speed was so fast that the tribesmen who were watching from a distance couldn't react.

Fortunately, Li Zhirui had a backup plan in advance. When the thunder fell, several black dragons instantly flew out from the lake around him, spewing ice and torrents from their mouths, and some even rushed directly in to dissipate the thunder with their own strength.

This gave Li Zhirui a chance to catch his breath, and he immediately took a bottle of Ten Thousand Years Jade Marrow, pouring out his magic power madly, and using all the power of the cave to bless himself. Although he hadn't made a breakthrough yet, he gave people the feeling that he had already reached the Mahayana level.

A giant Dharma image that was a hundred feet tall appeared behind Li Zhirui, surrounded by brilliant five-colored spiritual light. The five elements circulated, forming a huge millstone in mid-air, rotating extremely slowly.

The originally terrifying thunderbolt could not escape from the millstone and was sucked into it, turning into tiny points of lightning that dissipated between heaven and earth.

The seemingly slow millstone actually took only half a minute to completely eliminate the huge thunder that penetrated the sky and the earth.

The moment the last bit of lightning dissipated, Li Zhirui also retracted his Dharma form. His face was terribly pale, as if he had been soaked in water for a long time.

His current condition is very bad, because the final Five Elements Grind is an imperfect magical power, so it consumes a lot of Li Zhirui, not only in terms of magic power, but also in terms of soul.

If he tried to overcome the inner demon calamity like this now, it would become quite difficult. Fortunately, Li Zhirui had prepared some precious pills for restoring the soul. He did not care too much and swallowed several of them in one gulp, seizing the time to refine them.

"hiss!"

"What a terrifying magical power!"

No one expected that Li Zhirui could resolve the most powerful thunderbolt with just two magical powers.

"I'm afraid my father has hidden a lot of tricks up his sleeve." Li Chengshuo recovered and said with a gleam in his eyes.

"Yeah, who would have thought that Ninth Brother is so proficient in the Five Elements magical powers!" Xiao Cang's tone was full of emotion.

He knew that Li Zhirui had similar magical powers, but those were constructed using the divine light of water and wood, and their power was far less than that of this Five Elements Mill.

They all saw Li Zhirui's actions just now and knew that he was recovering his spirit, so their originally uneasy hearts calmed down.

Because they trust Li Zhirui's Taoism very much, they will never be bewitched by the inner demons.

Other tribesmen had similar thoughts. If they were not worried about disturbing Li Zhirui's breakthrough, they would be so excited that they would want to roar to the sky to vent the joy in their hearts.

But just when everyone was expecting Li Zhirui to overcome his final inner tribulation and achieve the Mahayana realm, a large number of unfamiliar cultivators suddenly appeared around Wanxian Mountain.

Li Chengshuo, who had the highest cultivation level, was the first to notice it, and immediately called Jiang Fengwu, Li Chengsheng and others. At the same time, he instructed the new clan leader to be careful and alert and not let anyone disturb Li Zhirui's tribulation.

Although the Li family detained all the spies and undercover agents they had found before for safety reasons when Li Zhirui was undergoing the tribulation, there was no guarantee that there were no more.

"I wonder what brings you all here suddenly?" Li Chengshuo said calmly.

The head of the Qingzhu Sect took a look at the calamity clouds in the sky, his mind racing, and then he said sincerely, "We heard that a fellow Taoist of the Li family is breaking through to the Mahayana stage, so we wanted to come and observe and gain some experience, but we didn't expect to miss this opportunity."

In fact, both sides knew very well the purpose of these monks' hasty visit.

It is not as simple as they said, but they want to disrupt Li Zhirui's tribulation.

But when the time came, seeing the situation changing, the leader of the Qingzhu Sect did not dare to take any more risks, because he saw that all nine thunders of tribulation had already fallen, leaving only the final tribulation of the inner demon!
If they fell out with the Li family at this time and waited for that person from the Li family to resolve his inner demons and break through to the Mahayana stage, even if he had just entered the Mahayana stage and was not yet familiar with himself, he would be no match for them.

Although there is no essential difference between the three realms of fusion, Mahayana and tribulation, there are still significant differences in the amount and quality of magic power.

Add to that Li Chengshuo and other combined cultivators, they might never come back!

Not only will you lose your life, but your family and sect behind you will also be implicated.

Therefore, the leader of Qingzhu Sect changed their purpose from originally planning to disrupt the tribulation to coming here to observe and learn.

"Is that so? It's a pity that you fellow Taoists arrived a step too late. The thunder of tribulation has already passed."

Li Chengshuo changed the subject and said with a smile: "It won't be long before father can resolve his inner demons. You all came here in a hurry, why not go into the mountains to rest for a while and attend the family banquet."

Her words were a further warning to them not to have any more bad thoughts.

"It is inconvenient for us outsiders to disturb your family's banquet. Let's wait for the Mahayana ceremony after Senior Li's breakthrough. Don't forget to send an invitation then." The head of the Qingzhu Sect said with a smile.

"nature……"

Li Chengshuo wanted to say something, but the calamity clouds behind them had begun to transform into rich spiritual energy, which meant that Li Zhirui had solved his inner demons and successfully broke through to the Mahayana stage!
The cultivators from Qingzhu Sect and others were shocked. How could the inner demon that was blocking their path be resolved so quickly?
You know, when they could see Wanxian Mountain from afar, they happened to see the black light transformed by the inner demon falling, and until now, it has only been a quarter of an hour at most!

Such a fast speed made them feel that their inner demons were so terrible.

But this is just thinking, it's not like they haven't experienced mental demons before.

At the same time, they couldn't help but feel lucky that they didn't take action just now, otherwise, they would really become the sinners of the family/sect. If they had taken action before, it would be impossible to deal with the combined forces in front of them within a quarter of an hour.

And by then, they might face a Mahayana directly!
"The Li family is busy, we don't want to disturb them, goodbye."

After saying this, without waiting for Li Chengshuo and others to speak, he turned into a beam of light and hurried away.

Li Chengshuo glanced at their figures, then returned to Wanxian Mountain with the others, waiting for the backflow of spiritual energy to end.

However, the three monks who were leaving quickly put aside their past grudges and sat in a spirit ship.

"You two, what do you think?" The leader of the Qingzhu Sect spoke first.

"What can you think? As long as the Li family doesn't go too far and offers their tributes obediently, are you planning to compete with the Li family for something?" The head of the He family saw the other party's unwillingness and sneered.

Not only was the head of the Qingzhu sect unwilling, but the other two were also willing to be inferior to others. Especially when a cultivator who was far inferior to them hundreds of years ago had to kowtow and curry favor with them now.

But the gap in strength made him quickly face the reality.

"Being obedient is the best way out."

No one was stupid enough to step forward and offend the Li family. Everyone remained silent and the cabin became exceptionally quiet.

"Alas! It's a pity that I came too late. If I had come earlier, it wouldn't have ended like this."

Sect Leader Qingzhu sighed, then stood up and left with several of his own men.

When the others heard the last sentence, they also felt it was a pity. If they could have arrived half an hour earlier, the current situation would have changed drastically.

-

The rolling calamity clouds transformed into pure spiritual energy, which poured in for a full quarter of an hour.

The more powerful the thunder tribulation is, the greater the rewards you will get after successfully passing it. The backflow of spiritual light is just the beginning.

boom!
A terrifying Mahayana pressure enveloped all the tribesmen. While everyone was afraid, they were also filled with joy.

"Congratulations to Daddy/Zhirui/Ninth Brother/Ruizu for breaking through to Mahayana!"

Only after Li Zhirui took the initiative to reduce his pressure, many clansmen were able to move freely.

The first words they spoke, as if they had been rehearsed many times beforehand, echoed through the heavens and earth, and could only be heard more than ten miles away.

"Congratulations." Li Zhirui was very happy.

"I need to go into seclusion to consolidate my cultivation. If there is anything, I will tell you in detail after I come out."

After saying that, he entered the cave and opened the formation.

Now that the protagonists are gone, the tribesmen naturally dispersed.

The clan leader, elders and others came to the family hall to discuss the family's next affairs.

"Rui Zu has achieved a breakthrough to the Mahayana stage. Apart from the Dongyuan sect in the south, the Li family is the strongest. We can make other forces our vassals, so as to achieve the goal of expanding our territory and increasing our luck." An elder spoke first.

"That's right! The Li family now has the power to make the Qingzhu Sect and other forces surrender."

The other elders spoke up in agreement, as if they couldn't wait to eliminate the other forces and incorporate them into their own territory.

"You are too anxious!" The patriarch at the top knocked on the table to calm the hot-blooded elders down.

The new clan leader is named Li Taichang, also a cultivator of the Refining Void Realm. Even though he has just taken over the position of clan leader from Li Taiyao, his methods terrify the elders.

Strict!

Li Taichang is the most strict among the more than ten patriarchs of the Li family. He looks very pedantic and always does things according to the family rules.

However, it was precisely this kind of character that allowed him to quickly secure his position as the patriarch and control many things in the family in his own hands.

So even though some elders wanted to refute Li Taichang's words, they finally shut their mouths.

"Rui Zu has just broken through to the Mahayana stage, and his realm hasn't been consolidated yet, but you guys are already thinking about grabbing territory everywhere, without even thinking about whether your family has the strength to do so."

"How could there not be? Ruizu can eliminate a large number of forces by himself. By then, other forces will definitely come to us for help."

There was a hint of disappointment in Li Taiyao's eyes. How could these elders be so stupid and only think about the immediate benefits?

The Li family’s current strength seems strong, but in fact it is just strong on the outside but weak on the inside!

Apart from Li Zhirui, who had just achieved a breakthrough as a Mahayana master, there were only a dozen or so members of the Fusion Clan, far fewer than the old-line Fusion forces.

And most importantly, don’t bully the weak!
Li Zhirui is now a Mahayana cultivator. If he wants to expand outward, he cannot take action unless there are also Mahayana cultivators on the opposite side.

Of course, this is the official statement. In reality, it doesn’t matter what you do in private as long as no one finds out.

But Li Zhirui couldn't kill all the monks who had seen him, so he had no way to take action.

Li Taichang's words calmed the elders down. They did not think there was anything wrong with the ban. After all, they had enjoyed the benefits it brought before, and they would continue to do so now and in the future.

This ban will only be truly useless when the Li family becomes the most powerful force.

"There's no need to be so anxious. Many small forces will take the initiative to join the family. With step-by-step planning, they would have been able to occupy larger and more territories long ago." Li Taichang said meaningfully.

After temporarily putting aside the issue of family territory expansion, everyone started talking about the second thing.

That is Li Zhirui’s Mahayana Ceremony!
The family's idea was to hold a grand ceremony, not only to celebrate Li Zhirui's breakthrough, but also to invite various surrounding forces to come and let them see the family's strength.

No one objected to this, but a quarrel broke out, but the content of the quarrel was the scale of the ceremony.

The vast majority of elders hope that the ceremony can be held in a grand manner, so that those forces can see the family's strength and speed up their surrender.

However, some elders thought it was too extravagant. If the family held such a lavish ceremony, all the family's income for this year would have to be used, and it might not even be enough. (End of this chapter)
