Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Li Zhirui raised his eyebrows when he heard this, took the invitation, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "They want to separate themselves from us."

Ever since he broke through to the Mahayana stage, the Li family became the only Mahayana force in the nearby states. Many sects and families joined in, but there were still many combined forces in Wanzhu State that had not taken any action.

Neither Li Zhirui nor the Li family took this matter to heart. After all, judging from the overall strength, the Li family was not necessarily stronger than these old combined forces.

The only capable person is Li Zhirui, a Mahayana cultivator. If a fight really breaks out, even if the Li family wins in the end, they will suffer heavy losses.

In fact, the Li family did not force any force to rely on them; they all took the initiative to join them.

Moreover, the Li family did not have any requirements for these vassals. They just asked them to respect the Li family as their master and become the masters of the realm where they were located, so as to gather the luck and fortune. Apart from that, they were required to offer some spiritual objects as tribute every year.

But it was obvious that the new Mahayana didn't think so. They wanted to first make a deal with the Li family, agree on each other's territories, and then take down the surrounding forces.

"Let them do what they want. Don't worry about it. The family won't interfere. We can just send someone to offer congratulations according to etiquette."

Li Zhirui smiled and said, "There is more or less hatred between the various forces in Wanzhuzhou. They should have planned to take revenge as soon as they gained power. Unfortunately, they are too impatient. I am afraid that those forces will unite, and then there may be a good show."

"Remember to tell the tribesmen who are going to the banquet not to get involved or to watch the fun. If they sense any danger, take them away immediately."

"Yes!" Li Taichang gradually calmed down and said goodbye to deal with the matter.

Li Zhirui returned to the quiet room and thought with his eyes lowered. The new Mahayana came from Baiyun Sect, which was far away from Wanxian Mountain. There were many old combined forces in between. Before they were dealt with, the two families had no direct contact, so there was no need to worry about conflicts between the two families for the time being.

If one day the two families come to a standoff, Li Zhirui will have nothing to worry about.

The opponent might have more Nascent Soul and Fusion cultivators, but on the Mahayana battlefield, Li Zhirui was very confident in his own strength and did not think he would lose.

And this is the key to determining victory or defeat!

What's more, the Li family is likely to give birth to a second Mahayana in the near future!
By then, how could the Baiyun Sect dare to offend the Li family?
"I don't know how far Shuo'er has reached in her cultivation." Li Zhirui murmured. The last conversation between father and daughter was more than ten years ago.

At that time, Li Chengshuo asked him for some top-grade elixirs to restore his magic power in preparation for the breakthrough to Mahayana.

After receiving the sound transmission note, Li Zhirui not only prepared a precious pill, but also some precautions for breakthrough, hoping that it would be helpful to her.

When he learned that Li Chengshu was about to break through to the Mahayana stage, even Li Zhirui was surprised at her speed of cultivation. He even went to her house in person to check her foundation and asked some questions. Only after he was sure that there were no problems did he start to refine a batch of top-grade elixirs.

The reason why Li Chengshuo’s cultivation speed is so fast is the large amount of pure Taiyin moonlight deposited in her body!

Not only her, but also A Yue and Xiao Yue, their cultivation speed became extremely fast because of this.

Although there has not been a breakthrough yet, it has only happened in the last few decades.

Li Zhirui sometimes wondered when Li Chengshuo's cultivation would surpass his.

After all, although he had many opportunities, they were still far inferior to that pool of Taiyin moonlight.

Shaking his head and stopping thinking about it, after clearing away these complicated thoughts, Li Zhirui began to practice again.

……

The time soon came for us to set out for Baiyun Sect to attend the Mahayana Ceremony.

The team was led by Li Xianxun and Li Mingyao. In addition to them, there were several outstanding juniors accompanying them to broaden their horizons.

Before leaving, Li Taichang couldn't help but remind them again: "Two ancestors, don't forget what I said."

"Don't worry, we will be careful."

Li Xianxun responded, and the spirit ship started quickly, and the group flew towards the west.

The journey was long, but uneventful and dull.

It’s not that the journey is safe. On the contrary, there are quite a few robbery cultivators in Wanzhuzhou.

The main reason is that with two combined bodies in charge, those robbery cultivators will not be so blind as to come and provoke them. What's more, it is the Li family's spirit ship, so no one is willing to offend it.

"Welcome all Taoist friends from the Li family to the banquet." The Baiyun Sect also gave the Li family enough face, and cultivators flew up from afar to greet them.

"Hello, fellow Taoists." Li Xianxun and others returned the greetings.

They arrived at a tight time because they didn't want to have too much contact with the Baiyun Sect.

Before everyone entered the mountain gate, an elder received instructions and asked, "What does your family think of that proposal?"

"This is your clan's internal affairs. Outsiders like us will not interfere."

Li Xianxun smiled faintly and said, "But my ancestor agrees that the two families should be divided and ruled clearly, so as to avoid conflicts and damage to the harmony in the future."

Just two sentences made the Li family's attitude clear.

The people in the Baiyun Sect also understood the meaning of these words and felt relieved. As long as the Li family agreed not to interfere, they could focus on dealing with those forces that were unwilling to surrender.

"That's certainly the best thing."

The leading monk thought for a moment, smiled and agreed, then said: "I think you all must have been tired from traveling all the way. The ceremony is about to begin. Please take a seat and rest for a while."

"Good work!"

Li Xianxun and others got off the spirit ship and, under the guidance of a special person, came to a wide square.

As the only two Mahayana forces, the Li family is positioned quite high.

However, Li Xianxun remembered Li Taichang's instructions, thought about it, and said, "Daoyou, this is a great event for your sect. We are too far forward, which seems to be a bit of a distraction. It is better to step back a bit."

"Hahahaha, fellow Daoist, there is no need to care about such a small matter." The elder who was in charge of the reception couldn't help but laugh. He was very happy in his heart and quite agreed with this proposal, but if he agreed to it immediately, it would seem that the host was too anxious.

After Li Xianxun's repeated persuasion, the other party reluctantly agreed and moved the position of the Li family members back a lot.

After everyone was seated, Li Xianxun reminded them through voice transmission: "After the ceremony begins, concentrate on tasting the spiritual food and listening to the Mahayana's sermon, and don't worry about anything else!"

"Yes!"

Dang Dang Dang——

Not long after, a dull bell rang, indicating the beginning of the ceremony.

"Greetings, Senior Yunkong!"

Suddenly, a cultivator appeared on the empty cloud bed that towered over everyone else. Upon seeing this, everyone stood up and saluted.

"No need to be polite."

Yunkong's gaze swept across Li Xianxun and the others, but did not attract anyone's attention, not even they themselves noticed.

"This time, I will talk about my experience of practicing the fusion."

Everyone showed joy on their faces, which could be said to be a very good situation in the grand ceremony. Most of the sermons talked about methods and insights that had nothing to do with cultivation.

"The path to fusion lies in the Dharma..."

Even Li Xianxun, Li Mingyao and others were listening carefully, trying to extract methods that would be beneficial to their own cultivation. Half an hour later, the sermon stopped abruptly, and the faces of the combined cultivators were full of dissatisfaction.

Of course, it is impossible to fully explain the fusion in such a short time. Yunkong only mentioned some key points that need attention.

After the sermon, Yunkong immediately disappeared.

Next came the grand banquet. Plates of delicious spiritual food were placed in front of them. Even those who had been fasting for a long time were drooling and had great appetites.

After all, the pure and easy-to-refine spiritual energy in these spiritual foods is of great help to one's own cultivation.

After some toasting, singing and dancing, the ceremony should have come to an end, but it was obvious that the Baiyun Sect did not intend to do so.

On the spot, they announced very loudly that some forces had a keen eye and had actively joined them, and then gave them generous rewards as a reward.

Li Xianxun and others watched coldly. How could the Baiyun Sect be so high-profile just to reward in public?

As expected, the Baiyun Sect directly pointed out some forces and asked them on the spot whether they were willing to be affiliated with it.

"Ah!"

One of the old combined forces named Linghuan Mountain couldn't help but sneered and said, "We respect Senior Yunkong, but isn't it too unrealistic to think that you can subdue us so easily?"

“Even when Senior Li Zhirui of the Li family achieved a great success, he was not so arrogant.”

The last sentence was obviously intended to drag the Li family into the water.

Unfortunately, Li Xianxun and others on the side seemed not to have heard it and continued to taste the spiritual food with their heads down.

"Oh? Linghuan Mountain is planning to disobey the order of Patriarch Yunkong?"

The faces of several cultivators from Linghuan Mountain suddenly froze. If they were in their own sect now, they would certainly not be afraid of these words, but this is the territory of Baiyun Sect!

If the Baiyun Sect wants to take action, their lives may be in danger!
But thinking about it, the Baiyun Sect shouldn't be so bold and shameless as to attack them in front of so many cultivators?

"No, no, this matter is of great importance and we cannot make a decision. I hope your clan can give us more time."

When their lives were threatened, they had no choice but to bow their heads and surrender.

As for whether these forces are willing to become vassals of Baiyun Sect in the end, that depends on the methods used by Baiyun Sect.

After the matter was settled, Li Xianxun took his clansmen and left.

But what he didn't expect was that not long after he flew out of Baiyun Sect, several combined cultivators appeared in front of the spirit ship together.

"I wonder why you fellow Taoists have joined forces to stop the spirit ship?" Li Xianxun's face did not look very good.

"Please forgive me, we have no other choice but to resort to this measure."

Li Xianxun didn't want to get too entangled with them, so he asked directly: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"The Baiyun Sect is overbearing and tyrannical. Ever since Senior Yunkong's breakthrough, they have begun to force various small forces nearby. Now they have set their sights on us. Please go back and tell them that we are willing to join the Li family!"

Li Xianxun raised his eyebrows, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Are you planning to provoke the two tigers to fight each other in order to maintain your independence?"

"Then have you ever thought that the Li family is not willing to intervene at all?"

After saying this, without giving them the chance to continue speaking, he directly steered the spirit ship past the crowd and flew away.

He was unwilling to join the Li family at first, but now that he is in crisis, he thinks of the Li family? What does he think of the Li family?

"Ugh!"

A cultivator sighed and said, "The Li family really doesn't want to intervene. Next, we have to unite to deal with the crazy suppression of the Baiyun Sect."

He felt from the beginning that this method was inappropriate. It would be impossible to get help from the Li family, and it would offend the Li family instead.

In the end, he failed to persuade others, and now it seems that everything is just as he expected.

These originally conflicting forces have now temporarily put aside their hatred because of the Baiyun Sect and plan to join forces to overcome the current crisis.

As to whether it will succeed, it is still unknown.

……

The Li family's spiritual ship flew across the sky at the fastest speed and returned to its own territory.

After returning, Li Xianxun told Li Taichang what had happened to them.

"I didn't expect the Baiyun Sect to be so arrogant. Or do they have some winning trump card? Otherwise, why would they do such a thing?" Li Taichang frowned in thought.

A force that has been able to be passed down for so many years and even gave birth to Mahayana is definitely not a brainless existence. There must be a purpose for doing this!

It’s just that the Li family doesn’t know.

"Keep an eye on the actions of the Baiyun Sect and don't worry about anything else." Li Taichang thought about it and decided to do so for the time being.

Anyway, no matter what the Baiyun Sect has planned, they will not go against the Li Family now. Otherwise, once the Li Family is gone, they will most likely become history.

Seeing that there was nothing for Li Xianxun to do, he said goodbye and went back to practice.

This time, apart from seeing a Mahayana monk, there were more combined cultivators, and his cultivation level was not outstanding among them.

This gave Li Xianxun a great stimulus and his mood also changed for the better.

……

"Did the two sides start fighting?"

Half a month later, Li Taichang received news from the Baiyun Sect and its surrounding forces. He did not expect that a fight would really break out, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

From this we can see that even if there are Mahayana cultivators in charge, we should not be so arrogant, and we should not easily provoke a war between forces.

"Keep watching them. I want to see what methods the Baiyun Sect has. They still take action even though they know it is impossible."

But soon, Li Taichang no longer had the heart to pay attention to that distant battlefield.

Because a huge calamity cloud appeared again in the sky above Wanxian Mountain!

"This scale..."

Many tribesmen recalled the thunder calamity that occurred more than a hundred years ago, and were immediately overjoyed, shouting loudly: "An ancestor has achieved a breakthrough to the Mahayana stage!"

"That is the cave where Shuo Zu is in seclusion. She is going to break through to the Mahayana stage."

In fact, there was no need to shout, as the others had also reacted and were running quickly towards the tribulation site. They wanted to occupy a good place to observe, hoping that they could gain something from it and remind themselves to improve their cultivation.

The crowd's ecstasy did not affect their minds. Not only did they not approach, but they moved further away to avoid affecting the thunder tribulation. (End of this chapter)
