Although Li Zhixuan usually ignored family matters, she had heard about the familyâs exploration of the Outer World, which is why she thought of it at this moment.
Once she made up her mind, she immediately set off for the family hall to find the Clan Leader, Li Xiuyuan.
"I have something I wish to discuss with the family."
There was a hint of surprise in Li Xiuyuanâs eyes. In all his years as Clan Leader, it was the first time heâd seen this Ancestor take the initiative to enter the family hall.
Moreover, from what heâd heard, such an occurrence was extremely rare even among many of his predecessors.
Thinking of this, he couldnât help but feel a thrill in his heart and thought to himself: âIt must be something very important.â
He had countless thoughts running through his mind, but Li Xiuyuan responded at the same time, saying, "Ancestor Xuan, please speak."
"I wish to transcend early and leave the Primal Spirit Realm, so I need to resolve many matters of causality, one of which is the causality with Heaven and Earth..."
After pausing for a moment, Li Zhixuan continued, "Therefore, I want to conquer the Floating Light Realm discovered by the family and offer it to the Primal Spirit Realm to repay this causality."
Li Xiuyuan was greatly shocked, and his face couldnât help but show a hint of surprise. It took him a while to say, "Ancestor Xuan, you just recently broke through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Shouldnât you cultivate for a while longer before considering transcendence?"
"Early transcendence is a good thing for me." She merely shook her head slightly, without offering much explanation.
Upon hearing this, he promptly fell silent. What more was there to say?
Since she had already weighed the pros and cons, and it was better for her, it was only right to respect her decision.
However, regarding her desire to conquer the Floating Light Realm, Li Xiuyuan couldnât make that decision alone, so he said, "Ancestor Xuan, this matter is significant and requires consultation with the Elders before we can give you an answer."
The main reason was not because it needed to be offered to the Primal Spirit Heavenly Tao, resulting in the family losing a Middle Thousand Worlds. After all, before doing this, the Li family needed to fully conquer the Floating Light Realm, and the benefits and Spiritual Objects obtained would likely already be in the familyâs possession.
But during the conquest, the family would need to invest a large number of clansmen and resources, which would inevitably lead to many clan casualties. It was impossible to let Li Zhixuan attack the Floating Light Realm alone, wasnât it?
"Yes, thatâs appropriate."
Li Zhixuan nodded in understanding and said before leaving, "Once you have an answer, remember to inform me immediately."
After she left, Li Xiuyuan immediately gathered all the Elders to discuss the matter.
After recounting Li Zhixuanâs decision and thoughts, he asked, "How do you all view this matter? Do you agree with Ancestor Xuanâs plan?"
"If Ancestor Xuan can transcend and leave, it would also be a great event for the family, as it would set a precedent for such a legacy," one Elder said immediately.
"But the problem is, trying to quickly and thoroughly conquer the Floating Light Realm would inevitably lead to heavy family casualties and many clan members would perish. How do we explain this to the clansmen? It canât be done for personal gain alone..."
"Ahem!" Li Xiuyuan lightly coughed, interrupting what he was about to say next.
No matter what, Li Zhixuan was an Ancestor of the family, and there are things that shouldnât be said aloud.
"The family has always intended to conquer the Floating Light Realm, but it was not for the purpose of offering it to the Primal Spirit Heavenly Tao, rather it was used as a family Secret Realm and Cave Heaven for cultivating and planting Spiritual Objects and Spirit Beasts. Now, only the final outcome has changed, the process remains the same, so I see no issue in agreeing to Ancestor Xuan," another Elder said.
The Elder who had previously opposed furrowed his brow and said, "Is it the same? The family originally planned to spend over a thousand years slowly occupying the Floating Light Realm, but is Ancestor Xuan willing to wait that long? If she is willing, then I will have no objections."
The difference in casualties between a few hundred years and over a thousand years would be immense, so this Elder, no matter what, would not agree to a plan to conquer the Floating Light Realm in a short amount of time!
If not for fearing to break ties, he almost said outright that they disregarded the lives of the clansmen!
However, faced with various pressures, he ultimately chose to take a step back.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment and said, "Iâll first ask Ancestor Xuanâs opinion, and if she agrees, then itâll be decided."
The Elders all tacitly agreed.
In a moment, he appeared in front of the door to Li Zhixuanâs Cave Mansion. Just as he was about to knock, he heard a voice from inside, "The door is open, come in directly."
Creaaakâ
The wooden door turned open, and Li Xiuyuan saw three people sitting in the pavilion: Li Zhirui, Li Zhixuan, and Li Mingyao. He immediately bowed and greeted each one, saying, "Greetings Ancestor Rui, Ancestor Xuan, Ancestor Yao."
The other two were invited by her, not to apply pressure, but to ask for their assistance.
"No need for formalities."
Li Zhixuan supported him with her hands and asked, "What were the results of your discussion?"
"If Ancestor Xuan is not in a hurry, the family is willing, in about fifteen hundred years, to assist in breaking through the Floating Light Realm and offer it to the Primal Spirit Heavenly Tao."
"Fifteen hundred years?"
She couldnât help but furrow her brow, making Li Xiuyuan somewhat worried, wondering if she was dissatisfied with this result.
But the final words she spoke left him utterly astonished, "Fifteen hundred years is enough? Regarding this, I am not particularly anxious, so following the familyâs schedule is no problem."
Li Zhixuanâs words were not mere pleasantry, but truly how she felt.
She had just broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, with a long lifespan ahead. There was actually no need to transcend so quickly, but due to coincidences on her path, she was forced onto another road, compelling her to transcend first and later elevate her cultivation to the limit.
