Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

At the same time, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, as their main gods and the leaders of the deification ceremony, were also rewarded by Heaven.

The two people who were originally hovering on the edge of the late stage of human immortal, and who were just one step away from reaching the final level, successfully broke through and became the late stage of human immortal.

At the same time, the golden light of merit in the two people's sea of ​​consciousness also expanded a little.

Naturally, their actions could not be hidden from other gods in heaven. Those lesser gods were full of envy. Although the status of the Sun God and the Moon God was not very high, both in terms of foundation and future development, they were much better than they were now.

"I didn't expect those two Star Lords to be so kind to their gods. If I had known earlier..."

"Be careful with your words!" His companion next to him hurriedly pulled him back to prevent him from saying anything sinister.

The lesser gods were full of envy, but those gods of higher status were very disdainful and looked down upon such godhood. They even thought that Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo were deliberately seeking fame and fortune in order to expand their influence.

Emperor Ziwei could see clearly that they just wanted to have enough strength to protect themselves, so he murmured in a low voice: "But many times, things don't develop as we wish..."

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

However, after Li Mingyao returned to Wanxian Mountain, he told everyone the news he had learned.

"It was still taken by the sea tribe."

Li Zhirui did not feel that it was too surprising. To be on the safe side, the sea people would definitely have some backup plans when conquering the outside world to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

Xiao Qing seemed quite happy and said with a smile: "In this case, doesn't it mean that Dongyuan Sect not only gained nothing in the end, but also lost a lot of territory? It really deserves it!"

The conflict between the Dongyuan Sect and the family has never been resolved, and Xiaoqing has always kept it in mind, so every time she sees them suffer losses, she feels happy.

As for the outcome of the fight between the Dongyuan Sect and the Sea Clan, they did not know it before, but the news that the Great Zhou Dynasty had seized a large piece of territory and lost a lot of disciples had already spread.

Many timid independent cultivators, fearing that the Great Zhou Dynasty would continue to advance, left Dongyuan Province and settled in Shanhai Province.

Even a few days ago, several small families and sects of independent cultivators came to seek refuge and ran to Wanxian Mountain to ask for a meeting and express their loyalty.

The Li family only arranged for an elder to meet with them and then sent the person away. After all, it was impossible for the Li family to believe them just because they said something, right?
Moreover, the Li family had already established a rule that if a casual cultivator wanted to establish a family or sect in Shanhai Province, he had to make contributions, otherwise he would not be allocated spiritual veins and land.

“The Dongyuan Sect suffered a great loss this time. I don’t know if they will retaliate?” Li Yunran had a sense of anticipation as if he was hoping for chaos in the world.

"In this situation, instead of licking their wounds, recuperating and recovering as quickly as possible, they are going to fight with the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Da Qing shook his head, thinking that they would not be so unwise.

"Not everyone is as cautious as you. Since Dongyuan Sect dared to take a gamble on the matter of the outer world, is it possible that there is no such possibility this time?"

Li Zhirui listened quietly to the argument between the two sides. What he thought was actually not important. After all, the family had limited information about the high-level officials of the Dongyuan Sect, and it was difficult to guess their thoughts.

"Just focus on it. The war between the celestial forces is not something the family can get involved in right now!"

The sense of awe did not weaken as his cultivation level improved, but instead became stronger.

Because only when you reach a certain level can you know some information, so Li Zhirui's attitude towards these two major celestial forces is to keep a distance, and it is best not to have any contact with them if possible.

It's not that he is timid, but the gap in strength between the two sides is too big, to the point where there is no trace of him at all.

If the Dongyuan Sect hadn't wanted to use his family as cannon fodder, he wouldn't have "colluded" with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

“Don’t pay too much attention to them. You should focus on yourself or your family!” Li Zhirui couldn’t help but shook his head when he saw that they were still arguing and seemed determined to defeat each other.

After saying this, he slipped away without waiting for anyone to speak.

The tribesmen who shared the same stance as Daqing looked ashamed and a little embarrassed, but Xiaoqing didn't take it seriously and didn't take it to heart at all.

He just can't bear to see the Dongyuan Sect having an easy time!
Moreover, after Xiaoqing converted to Shintoism, the new method of practice greatly reduced the requirements on one's character, and he no longer restrained himself as before.

It is strange to say, that the immortal way, which emphasizes freedom and detachment from the world, requires one to restrain one's own mind and morality, while the Shinto way, which emphasizes strict rules and regulations, is more arbitrary.

But if you take a longer-term view, you will understand why the two are completely different from their original intentions.

The immortal way is the pursuit of a higher level, which is for great freedom and ease; the Shinto way seems free and unrestrained, but in fact it is all within the rules!
……

Not only the Li family, many surrounding immortal forces are waiting for the Dongyuan Sect to retaliate and start another round of war with the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they can't wait to watch a good show.

But in the end, everyone was extremely disappointed. The Dongyuan Sect actually chose to swallow their anger and pretend that this incident had never happened!
You know, doing so will reduce the dignity and prestige of the Dongyuan Sect. Maybe there is no problem now, but it is like a seed, and you don't know when it will break through the ground.

By then, the Dongyuan Sect will taste the bitter fruit of what it has sown today.

But it’s not that they are unwilling to fight back, but that there are more important things!
The immortal who had been fighting with the Dragon Clan's Yan Fa Dao originally thought that the two sides had reached a draw and he was not affected. However, after returning to the sect to practice, he discovered that things were not as simple as he thought.

His Taoism was still affected. Although not as serious as others, it still needed to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it would definitely continue to get worse!

If that were the case, the Dongyuan Sect could still summon monks to fight back.

However, all the disciples who accompanied him had an extra curse in their bodies!
Not only did their magic power not increase when they practiced, but it actually decreased. This strange situation frightened everyone.

Moreover, because it broke out so suddenly, people within the Dongyuan Sect were in a panic and they didn't care about the fact that their territory had been taken away by the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At the same time, they also had to urgently seal the mountain gate to ensure that the news would not leak out, otherwise they didn’t know how much trouble it would cause!

This was the reason why the Sea Clan allowed the disciples of the Dongyuan Sect to leave. They had already made arrangements.

Although the curse can be lifted, it cannot be broken in a short period of time. Moreover, once it is activated, even if they stop practicing, their magic power will continue to dissipate.

However, outsiders don't know these inside stories.

However, the Dongyuan faction's conciliatory attitude made the Great Zhou Dynasty even more arrogant. If the current emperor had not remained calm, the civil officials would have been worried about a trap and strongly opposed it, and the money and food were really insufficient, I'm afraid they would have launched a second round of invasion.

……

After the news was passed back to the Li family, Li Zhirui took a look and confirmed that nothing had happened, then continued to practice in seclusion, working hard to improve his cultivation and realm.

At the same time, the Li family was also making intensive preparations for something.

Li Xinde, the longest-serving patriarch in the family's history, has finally reached the time to step down.

Because a lot of benefits were added to the clan leader, the number of Mahayana clan members who signed up for the election this time finally exceeded double digits.

After a fierce election, Li Guangjie finally defeated all his opponents and won the approval of most clan members, becoming the new clan leader. The first major event after Li Guangjie took office was the Spirit Test Conference!

This is a task that is both simple and complex, and requires considerable ability.

It is simple because the family has accumulated so much experience over the years. As long as you follow the steps, you will not make mistakes.

It is complicated because there are too many children to be tested, so overall planning must be done and the qualifications of the latest generation of people must be strictly adhered to.

The main purpose of doing this is to protect those members of the tribe who are too talented, so as to prevent them from being killed by evil cultivators or some hostile forces before they grow up.

Of course, if he died unexpectedly, such as dying during training, it only means that he had the qualifications but not the corresponding luck, so he can't blame others.

After several days of spirit testing, a new batch of children came to Wanxian Mountain. From today on, for the next three years, they will learn to read and write, cultivate their minds, learn martial arts, and exercise their bodies.

You can imagine how busy they are and how busy they are with no free time every day.

Fortunately, Li Guangjie did a very good job and initially established his prestige, but whether he wants to convince everyone will depend on his future performance.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Since leaving her family and embarking on a journey of training again, Li Zhixuan has been homeless and wandering around. She did not improve her cultivation through constant killing as she did before.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to, but she has encountered a bottleneck, a bottleneck in her state of mind. This is no longer a problem that can be solved by killing.

So Li Zhixuan embarked on a journey of wandering. She was no longer the sword saint who frightened the demons and made a great name for herself, but a beginner who seemed to know no sword skills and had just embarked on the path of swordsmanship.

She planned to start from the beginning and go through the sword training path again!
For this reason, Li Zhixuan decisively sealed up all his memories about Kendo, leaving only the shackles of his state of mind - why should he practice Kendo!
Only when this problem is solved can the sealed memory be restored.

In the early days when her memory was sealed, she thought this question was simple enough.

Why do you want to practice Kendo? Because Kendo is powerful!
But obviously, this simple answer has no effect.

Then Li Zhixuan began to speculate, saying that the sword was gorgeous and handsome, that the sword was extremely powerful, and that he had a natural talent for the sword...

But none of them worked.

On the contrary, because his memory was sealed and only this question was left, Li Zhixuan almost went insane.

Fortunately, she finally calmed down, did not take the last step, and began to try to find the answer through experience.

During this journey, Li Zhixuan began to practice with a wooden sword that she made at random.

During this period, she encountered some monks and monsters, who noticed her clumsy and disorganized swordsmanship and wanted to take her down.

But unexpectedly, those chaotic sword techniques slowly began to take on some shape, as if Li Zhixuan was a natural born swordsman. Even without his memory, he was still very fast at it.

However, due to the difference in cultivation level between the two sides, she was not given too much time to learn and the battle ended quickly.

After several battles, the broken wooden sword in her hand finally turned into pieces, so Li Zhixuan changed for another wooden sword and continued her journey of solving puzzles.

As time went by, she had no idea how many wooden swords she had used, but she still hadn't found the answer and didn't know why she should practice kendo.

This day.

Li Zhixuan passed by a mortal town and saw two figures, one old and one young, standing on the side of the road.

"I told you to learn to read and write, but you ran off to explore deep in the mountains. There are no immortal relics there, let alone any adventures described in storybooks. Stop daydreaming about becoming an immortal all day long!" the old man shouted angrily.

"I won't! I must cultivate myself and become an immortal. Then I can protect Grandpa and everyone else!"

Li Zhixuan was touched and suddenly interrupted and asked, "Why do you want to cultivate immortality?"

"How can there be so many reasons?"

“There’s always a reason.”

"I just want to cultivate immortality! There's no other reason."

"No! The reason you want to cultivate is to become powerful and to protect the people you care about!"

After saying this, Li Zhixuan stood there in a daze.

"Hahahahahaha..."

After a moment, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Such a simple truth has troubled me for so long, but I didn't expect that a mortal would enlighten me!" Li Zhixuan said with emotion.

"Why do you practice swordsmanship? Because you want to become stronger, because you want to protect the people you care about, and because you want to see what the end of the road looks like!"

"But in the final analysis, I just wanted to fix it, so I fixed it. There's no need for so many reasons!"

Once she was enlightened, the bottleneck that had been bothering her disappeared instantly, and her entire temperament changed drastically.

If the previous Li Zhixuan was like a peerless sword unsheathed, or a fierce sword full of murderous intent, then now her aura has been completely restrained, without any trace of fierceness or murderous intent.

It's not that she has become weaker, but that she has made a lot of progress on the path of kendo and has reached the level of returning to basics.

But then again!

Li Zhixuan's words, which seemed crazy to outsiders, especially ordinary people, scared the grandparents and grandchildren next to them.

But the young man quickly reacted, suppressed his fear, and hurried forward. He knelt before her with a plop, kowtowed, and begged, "Master, please accept me as your disciple! Master, please accept me as your disciple..."

The old man also came to his senses, and was afraid that his grandson would offend the immortal, but he couldn't help but think, if the immortal really agreed...

"You get up first."

Seeing that her words had no effect, Li Zhixuan had no choice but to use her magic power to pull him up, saying: "I have been enlightened by you two, the grandfather and grandson, and I owe you a great debt of gratitude." (End of this chapter)
