Chapter 977 Understanding

The monks even showed an offensive attitude. A steady stream of monks poured into the East China Sea and launched explorations in the far sea areas!

During this process, the monks suffered many casualties, but the casualties of the sea tribe were also very serious. The most important thing is that the main purpose of the monks entering the deep sea to explore was to obtain resources.

Although the sea area is rich in resources, there is an upper limit on the number of spiritual objects. In the past, monks could only hunt for treasures in offshore areas, and the number was small, so they had little impact on the sea people, especially those powerful races.

But now, more and more monks are exploring the East China Sea, not only competing for resources with the sea tribe, but also causing conflicts and causing casualties.

During this period, there was more than one case where a junior or heir who was valued by a certain wealthy family was killed by a monk. Even if the monk was found afterwards and tortured in various ways, what would be the use? The dead cannot be resurrected.

The most famous one was when a Mahayana monk from Jianshan dived into the deep sea, killed a real dragon that was about to become an adult, and returned to the spiritual island of Jianshan alive!

At that time, the dragon clan really went crazy and sent out dozens of Mahayana dragon clan at once, just to capture the sword cultivator, but he still escaped.

However, it is said that in the process of escaping, he received help from some mysterious forces. Otherwise, no matter how powerful he is, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of dozens of Mahayana dragons.

Although the Dragon Clan is sexually promiscuous, the number of true dragons is still very rare. Most of them are mixed-blood dragons, or even hybrid dragons. A true dragon may not be born for hundreds of years.

You must know that a true dragon can reach adulthood after only three thousand years of growth. The worst state of an adult true dragon is Mahayana perfection, and it will not take long for it to survive the tribulation and become an immortal.

And that sword cultivator not only came back alive, but also successfully overcame the tribulation and achieved the realm of Sanxian within a hundred years!

All these situations have brought the Sea Clan's patience to its limit. They no longer ask the Sea Clan to launch attacks on the monks, but are thinking of re-establishing a defense line near the offshore area to prevent the monks from going deep into the East China Sea.

Some time ago, the Hai Clan made frequent moves just for this matter.

With a large number of low-level sea people as the first line of defense, the purpose of their existence is not to hinder the monks, but to discover the monks.

Then there are the races in the three realms of Fusion, Mahayana, and Tribulation. They are the main force in resisting and destroying the monks.

Finally, there are dozens of loose immortal races, spread out and arranged to prevent the monks from going deeper.

As for these races, in the process of competing with the monks, whether there will be heavy casualties or even genocide, those big races don't care, as long as they don't hinder them.

And the effect of these three lines of defense is indeed good. At least recently, there have been fewer and fewer monks invading the deep sea.

Li Zhirui couldn't help but shook his head after listening to the words described by Li Xianxun and others, and said: "The strength of the Hai Clan is not weaker than that of the monks, but in the end they have no power to resist and can only build a defense line to resist the monks' attack. It is really hard to describe ."

"If they could just unite a little and show their collective strength, how could they end up in this situation?"

He couldn't help but warn him: "You must remember this lesson. When your own strength is insufficient, you can unite the strength of the clan."

"We've taken note of it!" Li Mingyao, Li Xianxun and others nodded.

"I haven't preached for a long time. You are all here today. Have you encountered any problems in cultivation?" Li Zhirui did have the idea of ​​​​giving them guidance.

Now they are all the pillars of the family. The stronger they are, the greater the benefits to the family, and there is great hope that they can go further.

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed surprise and asked their questions one by one according to their age.

Even though Li Zhirui's cultivation level is only in the middle stage of Void Refining, his current state has already reached the perfection of Void Refining. If he were not worried about the thunder tribulation, he could even go into seclusion and try to break through the integration!

Therefore, it is not a problem to give guidance to Li Xianxun and others.

Faced with their doubts, Li Zhirui refused to accept anyone who came, and he could give the answer after thinking about it for a while.

Every time a problem is solved, their realm improves slightly.

It was not until several hours later that no one had any doubts that Li Zhirui asked them to go back and comprehend it carefully, trying to digest it as soon as possible.

"The East China Sea has become calm now, and the Sea Clan will not start a war for the time being. It's time for me to return to Wanxian Mountain to see the situation of my family." Li Zhirui murmured.

Although Li Xianxun and others have some understanding of the family's development over the past century, he has been away for so many years and it is time to go back.

The development of Wanling Island is also very good. With the support of my family, even if a war does break out, it can last for a while, enough for my family to send people to support.

And with the monks' exploration of the East China Sea, Wanling Island, which was originally a frontline, is now considered a rear area! In front of the Li family, many forces established Lingdao.

If there was an invasion by the Hai Clan, the Li family would not be attacked immediately.

With this in mind, Li Zhirui planned to find out the situation personally and make sure that there was really no problem before setting off back to Wanxian Mountain.

In order not to attract attention, Li Zhirui deliberately concealed his figure and walked aimlessly on Wanling Island.

After a hundred years of development, the scene on the island is completely different from what he remembered. Many vacant spiritual lands have been reclaimed and planted with various spiritual objects. There are also a large number of tribesmen, and the island is no longer desolate.

Li Zhirui looked at the energetic young tribesmen with a smile on his lips. Although their current cultivation level was not high, they were the future of the family.

After getting closer, I heard them talking about Wanxian Mountain.

"I heard that the spiritual energy of Wanxian Mountain is more intense, and there are many ancestors. If you are lucky, you can hear their sermons! I don't know if I can be drawn this year."

"It would be great if I could break through the late stage of Golden Core within a hundred years. Even if I don't win the lottery, I still have a spot!"

"Practice hard. There is still some time before the hundred-year mark. We may not be able to achieve our goal."

…

Li Zhirui listened to their conversation and remembered that Li Xianxun and the others had accidentally talked about this matter, saying that in order to strengthen the exchanges between the two places and the emotions between the tribesmen, a group of tribesmen below the Nascent Soul realm would be selected for exchange every year.

Of course, this matter must be to highlight our family's Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain, so that the people of Wanling Island can be proud of our family, so as to avoid having any bad thoughts.

Now it seems that this effect is quite good.

"This must be Hongshi's idea too, right?"

Li Zhirui suddenly remembered something and said, "He has been the clan leader for more than a hundred years, and he is about to pass the position to the next generation."

The previous rule was that the clan leader's term was only one hundred years, but as the family's strength increased, the term became much longer, and it is now two hundred years.

Perhaps in the eyes of other forces, the Li family's replacement of patriarchs has become too frequent, but in the Li family, no one has ever raised this issue.

Because the patriarchs and elders of most forces are served by monks whose cultivation base cannot be improved, but this is not the case for the Li family!

The Li family adopts a model of cultivating the next generation of successors, and then selects the most capable successors from among several successors, and those who are close can also make them elders and deacons.

Of course, the qualifications of the candidate clan leaders and elders are relatively poor. They deal with various complicated affairs of the family and often have no time to practice. It seems that it will delay their practice, but they will get generous contribution points!

After leaving office, you can exchange your contribution points for a large number of treasure pills to speed up your own cultivation, which can completely make up for the missed cultivation time over the years.

Moreover, after experiencing the baptism of various affairs, their state of mind is far beyond that of ordinary monks, and it is easier to improve their realm.

Therefore, as long as the tribesmen are committed to the great road, they will not be greedy for that position.

Many tribesmen with poor qualifications have discovered this shortcut to the south, but some people have lost their original beliefs in the process, and these tribesmen often do not end well.

After seeing the situation on the island with his own eyes, Li Zhirui was completely reassured about the safety of Wanling Island.

In addition to the strength of the tribesmen, there is also the hastily arranged island defense formation. After many modifications and improvements, the defense power has been greatly improved.

So after talking to Li Xianxun and others, Li Zhirui planned to leave and return to Wanxian Mountain.

But he didn't expect that a cloud ship would set sail from Wanling Island in just a few days. So he waited for a few days and took the cloud ship back to his hometown. By the way, he also found out whether the original large fleet had continued.

"Ruizu, the large fleet you mentioned is over after decades of maintenance."

Li Mingyao, who protected the safety of the spirit ship and the clan members, shook his head and explained: "Because the monks are coming and going more and more frequently, the demon clan has completely disappeared, and it is inconvenient for the robbery cultivators to do anything, which greatly improves the safety."

"Also, internal conflicts broke out. Several forces were not very satisfied with this line, so they started quarreling, and they broke up immediately."

Li Zhirui didn't feel much about this, because the fleet was destined to be disbanded when it was first established. He initially promoted this just to alleviate the family's problem of insufficient manpower and insufficient strength.

The cloud ship flew for several days and finally stopped in front of a tall and majestic mountain peak.

Halfway up the mountainside, it is obscured by thick fog, and the situation inside cannot be seen; down the mountainside are various caves in a scattered pattern, where most of the tribesmen live, and there are also various functional buildings. In addition to very important The Sutra Pavilion, warehouses, ancestral halls, etc. are located in the thick fog.

When Li Zhirui flew into the Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain, he was immediately enveloped in fresh and rich aura, making him breathe in and out involuntarily.

"No wonder those tribesmen said that our spiritual energy is rich." Li Zhirui said with emotion.

When he heard this sentence at the time, he thought it was an exaggeration. After all, in addition to the five fifth-level spiritual veins on Wanling Island, there are also more than a dozen low-level spiritual veins. In terms of spiritual energy, it is definitely not inferior to Wanxian Mountain. of.

But now after experiencing it myself, I understand that what I said is true.

"Ruizu, the family has been promoted to a fifth-level spiritual vein."

Because there are no fusion monks, the Li family clearly has enough spiritual stones to increase their spiritual veins to the seventh level. However, due to lack of strength, they can only give up this plan and finally choose to add a sixth-level spiritual vein in Wanxian Mountain!

"Well, you go and do your work, I'll take a look around myself."

After saying that, Li Zhirui disappeared.

The first place he went to was the Taoist temple where Jiang Fengwu retreated.

The door is still closed, but the communication talisman Li Zhirui left behind is missing.

"Did Feng Wu successfully modify it?!"

Because he had modified it before and knew how dangerous it was, not to mention that Jiang Fengwu also planned to reshape the magic weapon, which made Li Zhirui even more worried and afraid of hearing the news of her failure one day.

Fortunately, she succeeded in the end.

With joy, Li Zhirui went to Li Chengshuo's cave again.

He actually felt sorry for Li Chengshuo, because she was the only sixth-level formation mage at that time, and he had to let her guard and protect the family for more than a hundred years.

Then Li Zhirui saw the message Li Chengshuo left for him. She had already gone on a trip, and the family's safety was entrusted to Li Chengsheng. He shook his head funny.

It is a pity to say that there are so many Void Refining cultivators in the Li family, including those who have made breakthroughs in the past hundred years, including talisman masters, alchemy masters, and weapon refiners, but there is no new sixth-level formation master!

Otherwise, Li Chengshuo wouldn't have been trapped in the family for so long.

"Father!"

Li Chengsheng walked out of the cave nearby.

"Thanks to you brothers and sisters for your hard work these years." Li Zhirui sighed.

"Father, you are serious. This is our responsibility, and it just allows me to melt the true fire of the sun."

Li Zhirui shook his head slightly, took out a jade slip and sent it over, saying: "The jade slip records my cultivation insights over the years, which should be of some help to your cultivation."

Li Chengsheng did not refuse and accepted directly.

"Has Feng Wu ever left seclusion in recent years?"

"No, it didn't take long for my mother to complete the modification. Now she is restoring her cultivation as soon as possible." Li Chengsheng was a little regretful. He had not seen her for a long time.

"It looks like I have to help Feng Wu refine a batch of treasure pills."

Otherwise, it would take at least hundreds of years to return to the Void Refining Realm just by absorbing spiritual energy.

Just as Li Zhirui was about to leave, he suddenly remembered a question and said, "Sheng'er, do you plan to continue practicing the "All Spirits Sutra" or change it?"

He also just thought of the discussions of Li Mingyao, Li Xianxun and others, and wanted to see what choice Li Chengsheng would make.

"Father, I plan to create a technique that suits me."

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Zhirui's eyes. He did not expect Li Chengsheng to make such a decision, which was beyond his expectation.

"Why do you plan to create your own technique?"

Li Chengsheng paused and said: "I have been comprehending and refining the true fire of the sun these years, and I understand the laws of the sun better and better, but gradually I am unable to do what I want, and the refining speed is getting slower and slower."

"So I thought about creating my own exercises to make myself highly consistent with the laws of the sun, so as to speed up the refining of the true fire of the sun."

If Li Chengsheng's current cultivation level could refine the true fire of the sun, there would be a lot of benefits.

For example, when he absorbs the essence of the sun in the future, he will no longer only be able to absorb the purple energy of the first sun, but can do so at any time.

Also, the strength will be greatly improved! (End of chapter)
