Chapter 1656: Chapter 1297: The Deal
“Ancestor Rui, isn’t this too dangerous? After all, your powers are suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. If you encounter a formidable enemy, what will you do?” an Elder hurriedly said, hoping Li Zhirui wouldn’t act impulsively.
In contrast, Da Qing, Xiaoqing, and the others fell silent after calming down, knowing that with the Personal Space, he probably wouldn’t get into trouble.
Even Li Zhixuan and Jiang Fengwu didn’t speak, for they knew Li Zhirui wouldn’t make such a decision unless he was confident enough to not fall along the way.
However…
“Jiu, our family only has two Earth Immortals. You’re traveling alone, spreading the special effects of the Purification Principle and trading Purification Lotus Seeds. But if the family is in danger, Zhixuan alone might find it difficult to resolve!” Xiaoqing frowned, expressing her concerns.
“Besides Sanhe City, there aren’t any other Earth Immortal forces nearby. Once Fengwu sets up the Great Array, and with all of you assisting Zhixuan, it won’t be too dangerous.”
Clearly, Li Zhirui had already considered this issue long before!
His choice of this location was due to the absence of strong powers nearby, but there were enough from the Devil Race, allowing clan members to weaken the strength of the Golden Light Realm and earn Merit.
Seeing their worried faces, he chuckled slightly and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t stray too far, and I’ll return within a year.”
Saying this, he took out a large number of Pills and Spiritual Objects from the Storage Magical Treasure for them to handle.
“Zhixuan, I’ll be relying on you!”
Li Zhixuan nodded solemnly, promising, “Don’t worry, Jiu, I will protect everyone well.”
“Then I shall be off for now.”
Before the words finished, a green light flashed, and Li Zhirui disappeared from sight.
During the following period, the Li family’s actions became extremely cautious, only targeting those Devil Race members with weaker strength.
Simultaneously, those clan members already possessing the Spirit Vein continued absorbing Spirit Veins from the territories they conquered from the Devil Race.
As long as the Spirit Vein is gone, no Devil Beast will settle in those places, significantly enhancing their safety.
In this process, the Li family also gained significant resources, obtaining various Spiritual Medicine and spirit ore. After many experiments, they succeeded in refining Pills and Talismans, among other Spiritual Objects.
The benefit of this is that the Li family can directly use Spiritual Objects of this realm for refining Pills and Talismans in the future!
Still, it wasn’t entirely smooth sailing, as there were considerable casualties within the Li family during this process.
While the surviving clan members were sorrowful, they quickly accepted reality because when they decided to engage in the two-realm war and enter the Golden Light Realm, they were prepared to face life and death!
They calmly gathered the bodies and belongings, if possible, to bring them back to the family and hand them to their kin, or otherwise, hand them over to the family.
…
Meanwhile, after leaving the family, Li Zhirui didn’t waste time on the road. Instead, he dashed at full speed to a place where creatures from the Primal Spirit Realm might exist, aiming to arrive in the shortest time.
Fortunately, moving swiftly didn’t let any creature intercept him, reaching a particular forest within a few days.
Previously, Li Zhirui had the family gather information about the invaders from Sanhe City, learning that this place might host an invader’s force.
However, only this much was known; he had to search while moving forward.
“I am Li Zhirui of the Li family from Mount Wanxian. I ask the fellow Daoists of the Primal Spirit Realm to show yourselves!”
The forest’s area was quite large, and time was tight, forcing him to use such a crude method to attract attention, hoping they’d appear voluntarily.
“Hmm?”
In fact, when Li Zhirui entered the forest earlier, the hidden forces there had already spotted him.
They began observing him secretly, planning to dispatch several Earth Immortals if he was alone to take him out.
But unexpectedly, as they were about to act, they heard him mention the Primal Spirit Realm!
“Could it be he’s from the same realm as us, or why would he know of the Primal Spirit Realm and the relatively weak Li family?”
“Another possibility is someone has been captured by creatures of this realm, and under interrogation, leaked this information.”
Leaving everyone in discussions, unable to decide for a while.
“Could they have already left?”
Li Zhirui hadn’t received a response for a long time, his face showing a hint of disappointment. With a sigh, he was about to turn and leave.
“Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment!”
At that instant, a voice appeared from somewhere, halting Li Zhirui in his tracks just as he was about to leave.
In the next moment, several Spirit Lights flew out, revealing figures in front of him, their expressions cautious, clearly still not completely trusting him.
“Fellow Daoist Li, do you recognize which force this symbol represents from the Primal Spirit Realm?”
Leading the group, a middle-aged cultivator used Spiritual Energy to draw a cloud-overlapping emblem in mid-air.
“It resembles the Ten Thousand Dharma Cloud Sect, but lacks the Yin Yang Five Elements.”
Upon hearing this, the people across from him visibly relaxed. The Ten Thousand Dharma Cloud Sect was a strong presence, even though it was a force that had perished, making it impossible for people from the Primal Spirit Realm not to recognize it.
“We hope Fellow Daoist Li can forgive us; as the strength of the creatures here is formidable, we must be incredibly cautious.”
The tone immediately conveyed their tragic encounters, leading to such heightened vigilance.
However, Li Zhirui wasn’t interested in delving further; instead, he stated, “I came here to deliver an essential message. Using the Power of Purification can alleviate the pressure from the Heavenly Dao of this realm, thus restoring one’s own strength.”
