Chapter 1317: Chapter 1127: Centenary_2

In the end, it should be him who achieves becoming a Heavenly Immortal and when transcending beyond the Primal Spirit Realm, the Minor Thousand World within him simultaneously ascends, advancing to a Middle Thousand World.

Exactly!

Because the leap from a Minor Thousand World to a Middle Thousand World is too vast and difficult, Li Zhirui directly linked it with the entire Immortal Realm.

Besides, he wasn’t acting recklessly. When the Cave Heaven ascended to a Minor Thousand World, wasn’t it because Li Zhirui himself experienced a significant, even fundamental change from Mortal to Immortal?

So if transitioning from a Minor Thousand World to a Middle Thousand World also requires a fundamental change, it would be after transcendence. After all, no matter how powerful a Heavenly Immortal is, they’re like an Individual Immortal, unable to transcend.

Of course, these are just Li Zhirui’s thoughts for now, whether they are feasible or not needs to be tested to find out.

As for the experimental subject? Naturally, it would be himself.

The cultivation techniques and methods after the Immortal Realm require deduction and perfection. It’s impossible to just capture some creatures like in the Mortal Realm and force them to do it.

Firstly, any power in the Immortal Realm is quite formidable, making capture extremely difficult.

Secondly, to experiment, they would have to disperse their previous cultivation and start from scratch. Even though the realm remains, and no Thunder Tribulation will descend, it still requires many years.

But right now, what Li Zhirui lacks most is time!

There’s no way to wait for an experiment for one or two hundred years, so he simply takes the field personally.

As for the risk? What doesn’t have risks? To carve out a path, not taking a risk is impossible!

With a feasible idea, Li Zhirui devoted himself entirely to it, combining the “Earth Spirit Tao Record” to deduce the subsequent cultivation methods.

This isn’t something that can be completed in an instant, and he himself didn’t know how long it would take.

Fortunately, Li Zhirui had already surpassed being an Individual Immortal, greatly enhancing his lifespan. Plus, he is still young, with ample lifespan to try and wait.

…

Under the Taiyin, moonlight poured over the world.

It was at this moment that Li Chengshuo wanted to return to Mount Wanxian.

But an unexpected issue arose during this process; she found herself unable to enter!

“The Mountain Protection Array…”

Li Chengshuo glanced at it and said in astonishment, “The formation has become of an Immortal grade, and if that is the case, there is only one possibility, Mother has become an Individual Immortal!”

“But how did she manage to cross two major realms and then successfully undergo Tribulation Transcendence to become an Immortal?”

When someone was mobilizing the power of the Great Array, the Li family sensed it immediately and swiftly dispatched a large number of family members to investigate who had the audacity.

It was precisely this misunderstanding that allowed Li Chengshuo to smoothly enter Mount Wanxian.

“Mother, where is Father? Is he still in seclusion?”

Jiang Fengwu handed over two new Identity Jade tokens while explaining, “He is perfecting the cultivation techniques and has not shown himself for a long time.”

After a bit of casual conversation, it was time to discuss serious matters.

“I returned this time to see the changes in the family after the calamity and whether they need help. Now it seems…”they don’t need my skills.

But Li Chengshuo felt no sense of defeat or dissatisfaction, instead, she felt extremely happy because this meant the family had made significant progress.

“Shuo’er, you saw it just now; the Mountain Protection Array is closely related to the stars, so I need to trouble you and Sheng’er to collect more Spiritual Objects in the starry sky.”

“Alright, I’ll remember that.”

After discussing the matters, Jiang Fengwu asked, “Have you and Sheng’er both advanced to the mid-stage of Individual Immortal?”

Seeing her nod, she understood at once—it’s no wonder that so long after the calamity ended, Li Chengshuo didn’t return to check on the situation.

Once everything was arranged, Li Chengshuo returned to Taiyin Star to discuss with Li Chengsheng the many things of that evening.

“The family’s development speed is accelerating.”

“Indeed, it’s only been a few years, and Mother has already become an Individual Immortal.”

Li Chengsheng remarked, “I have collected quite a lot of Star Spiritual Items; remember to take them home next time.”

“Brother, why don’t you go back? It’s been so many years, don’t you want to go home?” Li Chengshuo asked the question she had held in her heart for a long time.

Initially, it was due to concerns about exposing the family and putting the then-Mortal Realm family in danger, but now that issue doesn’t exist anymore.

“Could it be that your Sun God position has problems?”

Besides this reason, Li Chengshuo couldn’t think of anything else.

“Yang and the others are at a critical stage of transformation and becoming Immortals. I must watch over them to avoid affecting the operation of the Sun Star during their breakthrough.”

The three Spirit Beasts brought by Li Chengsheng, though unlike Li Chengshuo’s Moon Serpent, Howling Moon, also being Star Gods, had through their connection with the Sun Star, to some extent, and due to his intentions.

Up until now, Yang and the others have developed a very close relationship with the Sun Star. Although they don’t yet hold the Sun Star God position, following this trend, it won’t be long until they do.

So during this crucial time, Li Chengsheng dares not leave the Sun Star for too long.

Should they cause a disturbance in the Sun Star during their breakthrough, it would mean there’s an issue with him as the Star God!

Li Chengsheng is not worried about the Heavenly Court stripping him of his position—it can’t. He’s simply afraid that if something happens, Yang and the others would incur the Sun’s and Heavenly Dao’s displeasure, unable to become the Sun Star God.

And if it implicated the entire Primal Spirit Realm, then he and Yang’s company would truly be to blame.

Hearing this, Li Chengshuo said no more. The reason was valid, but it didn’t fully explain her question.

Because there was a period he couldn’t account for, but since he didn’t want to say, there was no need to press him.

…

Time seemed to accelerate, racing forward.

Soon, a hundred years had passed.

A hundred years, a lifetime for a mortal, but to high-level cultivators, a century is nothing.

Especially for one like Li Zhirui, immersed in deduction, as if he lost sense of time, constantly deducing subsequent cultivation techniques over the century.

So far, he has made some headway.

Starting is always hard!

Since there’s a beginning, deducing subsequent techniques will be relatively easier.

By then, Li Zhirui won’t be troubled by the lack of cultivation techniques, inhibiting his cultivation growth.

During his century in closed-door deduction, Jiang Fengwu, Li Zhixuan, and many family members weren’t as peaceful.

At the outbreak of the calamity, the territories the Li family abandoned must now all return under the Li family’s rule!

But some forces remain unwilling.

For them, the Li family initially urged them to think it over carefully and make the right choice, but some seemed to have found a backer, still refusing, thus the Li family was not going to be courteous.

This led to many family members running about, unable to settle in the territory for cultivation.

Li Zhixuan and Jiang Fengwu acted with concern that the Cave Abyss Sect might intervene, as near the Li family, it was the only Immortal Realm power.

It turned out to be unfounded!

Those resisting forces simply felt emboldened after their strength increased and the sheer number of rebels, paired with an imaginary banner, thought they could maintain their special carefree status.

Unbelievable how they thought an Individual Immortal family would allow unique existences on their territory?

Thus, when the Li family indeed took action, they shattered their delusions like a dry wood breaking and they cried and begged for mercy, willing to hand over all Spiritual Objects for their lives.

Alas, a missed chance is lost forever, no second chances.

Naturally, with numerous people, the Li family wasn’t a bloodthirsty Demon Cultivator, they couldn’t kill them all, just expelled them from Shanhai State, leaving them to fend for themselves, occupying their formerly owned Spirit Mountains.

If the Spirit Vein grade was high, some family members would be stationed, and if the location was also good, they would establish Immortal Cities.

Otherwise, they would lease it out to the loose cultivator small families, sects without a foothold, letting them create more value for the Li family.
