Chapter 1196: Tips

At the same time, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, as their main gods and leaders of the god-conferring ceremony, were also rewarded by heaven.

The two people who were originally hovering on the edge of the late stage of human immortality, just one step away, successfully broke through in cultivation and became the late stage of human immortality.

At the same time, the golden light of merit in the sea of ​​consciousness between the two also expanded a bit.

Naturally, their movements could not be hidden from the other gods in heaven. The eyes of those little gods were full of envy. Although the status of the Sun God and the Moon God were not very high, whether from the perspective of their foundation or future development, Much better than they are now.

"I didn't expect those two star kings to be so kind to the gods. I should have known..."

"Be careful what you say!" The companion next to him hurriedly pulled him to prevent trouble from coming out of his mouth.

The minor gods were full of envy, but the gods with higher status were very disdainful and looked down upon such gods at all. They even thought that Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo were deliberately seeking fame and fortune in order to expand their power.

However, Emperor Ziwei could see clearly and knew that they wanted to have enough strength to be alone, and murmured in a low voice: "It's just that many times, things don't develop as they wish..."

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

But it was said that after Li Mingyao returned to Wanxian Mountain, he told the news.

"The Sea Clan still got it."

Li Zhirui didn't feel too surprised. For the sake of safety, when conquering the outside world, the Hai Clan would definitely hide several back-ups to ensure nothing goes wrong.

However, Xiao Qing looked quite happy and said with a smile: "In this case, doesn't it mean that the 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 Xiao Qing has always kept it in mind, so every time he sees them suffering a loss, he will feel happy.

As for the outcome of the battle between the Dongyuan Sect and the Hai Clan, they did not know before, but the news that the Great Zhou Dynasty had captured a large area of ​​territory and lost many disciples had long spread.

Many timid stragglers were afraid that the Zhou Dynasty would continue to advance, so they left Dongyuan Prefecture and came to settle in Shanhai Prefecture.

Even a few days ago, several small families and small sects of casual cultivators came to seek refuge in the Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain to ask for an audience and express their loyalty.

The Li family only arranged for an elder to meet them once and then sent them away. After all, it was impossible for the Li family to believe them just because they had said something, right?

Moreover, the Li family has long established a rule that if casual cultivators want to establish a family or sect in Shanhai State, they must make contributions, otherwise spiritual veins and territory will not be allocated.

"The Dongyuan Sect has suffered a big loss this time. The losses are not small. I don't know if they will come back with revenge?" Li Yunran had a feeling of hope that the world would not be in chaos.

"In this case, if they don't just lick their wounds, recuperate, and seize the time to recover, why are they still going to fight the Zhou Dynasty?" Daqing shook his head, thinking that they would not be so unwise.

"Not everyone is as cautious as you. Since the Dongyuan Sect dares to take a gamble on the outside world, isn't it possible this time?"

Li Zhirui quietly listened to the argument between the two sides. It didn't really matter what he thought. After all, the family's intelligence on the top brass of the Dongyuan Sect was limited, and it was difficult to guess what they were thinking.

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

The awe has not weakened with the improvement of cultivation, but has become stronger.

Because only when you reach a certain height, you will know some information, so Li Zhirui's attitude towards these two immortal forces is to stay away from them. If possible, it is best not to have contact with them.

It's not that he is timid, it's that the gap in strength between the two sides is so huge that it's completely invisible.

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

"Don't pay too much attention to them. You still have to 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 the other party.

After that, he walked away without waiting for anyone to speak.

The tribesmen who had the same stance as Da Qing looked ashamed and a little embarrassed, but Xiao Qing didn't take it seriously and didn't take it to heart at all.

He just couldn't see the Dongyuan Sect having an easy time!

Moreover, after Xiaoqing transferred to Shinto, the new cultivation method had greatly reduced the requirements for his character, and he no longer restrained himself as before.

It is strange to say that although the Immortal Way emphasizes freedom, freedom and detachment from the outside world, it insists on restraining one's own mind and morality. Instead, it attaches great importance to the Shinto Way with strict rules and regulations, and is even more free to follow one's wishes.

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

The Immortal Way is the pursuit of a higher level, for great freedom and freedom; the Shinto Way seems to be free and easy, but in fact it is all within the rules!

…

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

But in the end, everyone was disappointed. The Dongyuan Sect actually chose to swallow their anger and pretend that this matter had never happened!

You must know that doing so will reduce the majesty and prestige of the Dongyuan Sect. Maybe you can't see any problems now, but it is like a seed, and you don't know when it will break out of the ground.

At that time, the Dongyuan Sect will taste the bitter fruits of what they have sown today.

But it’s not that they are unwilling to fight back, it’s that there are more important things!

The immortal who had fought with the dragon clan's law thought that the two sides had drawn and he was not affected. But when he returned to the sect to practice, he found that things were not as simple as he thought.

His Dao was still affected. Although it was not as serious as others, it also needed to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it would definitely continue to worsen!

If it was just that, the Dongyuan Sect could still summon cultivators to fight back.

But unfortunately, all the disciples who accompanied them had an extra curse in their bodies!

Not only did they not increase their mana when practicing, but it would cause their mana to decrease. Such a strange situation frightened everyone.

And because it broke out suddenly, the people in the Dongyuan Sect were panicked and didn't care about the fact that the Great Zhou Dynasty had robbed their territory.

At the same time, they had to urgently block the mountain gate to ensure that the news would not be leaked, otherwise they didn't know how much trouble it would cause!

This was the reason why the sea clan let the disciples of the Dongyuan Sect leave. They had already arranged means.

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

However, outsiders do not know these inside stories.

It is just that the Dongyuan Sect's concessionary attitude made the Great Zhou Dynasty even more angry. If the contemporary emperor had not remained calm, the civil officials were worried about fraud and strongly opposed it, and the money and food were really insufficient, I am afraid that they would launch 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, so he continued to practice in seclusion and strive to improve his cultivation and realm.

At the same time, the Li family was also preparing for something in full swing.

Li Xinde, the longest-serving patriarch in the family history, is still about to step down.

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

After a fierce election, Li Guangjie finally defeated a group of opponents, won the recognition of the most clan members, and became the new patriarch.

And the first major event after Li Guangjie took office was the Spirit Testing Conference!

This is a simple and complex matter that tests one's ability.

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

It is complicated because there are too many children to be tested, and it is necessary to make a comprehensive plan and strictly observe the qualifications of the latest generation of clansmen.

The main purpose of doing this is to protect those clansmen with too good qualifications, so as to prevent them from being strangled by demon cultivators or some hostile forces before they grow up.

Of course, if they die unexpectedly, such as dying during training, it can only mean that he has the qualifications, but does not have the corresponding luck, so he cannot blame others.

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

It can be imagined how busy they will be, and they will not be free every day.

Fortunately, Li Guangjie did a good job and established his prestige, but if he wants to convince everyone, it depends on how he performs in the future.

Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.

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

It's not that she doesn't want to, but she has encountered a bottleneck, or 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 wandering journey. She is no longer the sword saint who killed the demon cultivators and made a great reputation, but a beginner who seems to know no swordsmanship and has just embarked on the sword path.

She plans to start from the beginning and walk the sword path again!

For this reason, Li Zhixuan decisively sealed all the memories about the sword path, leaving only the shackles of the state of mind-why to practice the sword path!

Only when this problem is solved, the sealed memory will be restored.

In the early stage of sealing the memory, she felt that this question couldn't be simpler.

Why practice the sword path? Because the sword path is powerful!

But obviously, this simple answer has no effect.

Then Li Zhixuan began to speculate constantly, saying that the sword art was gorgeous and handsome, that the sword art was extraordinary, and that she had a natural talent for the sword art...

But none of them worked.

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

Fortunately, she calmed down in the end and did not take the last step. She began to try to find the answer in her experience.

During this journey, Li Zhixuan began to practice with a wooden sword made casually.

During the period, she encountered some monks and monsters, who found her very clumsy and chaotic sword art and wanted to take it down.

But unexpectedly, those chaotic sword arts slowly began to look a bit like Li Zhixuan was born with the sword art seed. Even without memory, she was still very fast.

However, due to the difference in the cultivation of both sides, she did not have too much time to learn, and the battle ended quickly.

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

As time went by, she had changed the wooden sword many times, but she still hadn't found the answer, and didn't know why she had to practice swordsmanship.

One day.

Li Zhixuan passed by a mortal town and saw two figures, an old man and a young man, on the roadside.

"I asked you to study and become literate, but you ended up exploring the depths of the mountains. There are no immortal ruins there, and there won't be any adventures in the novels. Don't daydream about cultivating immortals all day long!" the old man shouted angrily.

"I don't! I must cultivate immortality and become an immortal. Then I can protect grandpa and everyone!"

Li Zhixuan was vaguely 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 is no reason."

"No! The reason why you want to become an immortal is to become stronger and to protect the people you care about!"

After saying that, Li Zhixuan froze on the spot.

"Hahahahahaha..."

After a while, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Such a simple truth has troubled me for so long, but I didn't expect it to be awakened by a mortal!" 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 still want to practice, so I will practice. There are so many reasons!"

Once she became enlightened, the bottleneck that originally troubled her disappeared in an instant, and her whole temperament changed drastically.

If Li Zhixuan was like a peerless sword unsheathed or a fierce sword filled with evil spirit, now her aura has been completely restrained, and there is no trace of ferocity or murderous aura in her body.

It's not that she has become weaker, but that she has made a lot of progress on the path of swordsmanship and has returned to her original nature.

But then again!

Li Zhixuan's words, which seemed crazy to outsiders, especially mortals, frightened the grandfather and grandson next to him.

But the young man reacted quickly, suppressed the fear in his heart, ran forward quickly, knelt down in front of her with a plop, kowtowed, and kept pleading: "Please accept me as your disciple! Please accept me as your disciple!" The master accepted me as his disciple..."

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

"You get up first."

Seeing that his words had no effect, Li Zhixuan had no choice but to use magic to pull him up and said: "This time I was enlightened by your grandfather and grandson, and I owe you a huge debt." (End of this chapter)
