Chapter 1721
Understanding
This sudden change, a huge crisis concerning the entire universe, was seen as an opportunity by some in the human race.
As long as we seize the opportunity, the human race will surely reach new heights!
“That may be true, but it’s not safe. The Holy Mother specifically said that it’s extremely dangerous right now, and we might even face a Dao Fruit Grand Luo directly. Shouldn’t we reconsider?” But not everyone supported Xuanyuan. Ziyi, one of the three ancestors of the human race, frowned slightly and said softly.
After all, the human race still lacks in high-end combat capabilities.
For example, in the ancestral court of the human race, there are many Great Luo Golden Immortals, but more than half of them have cultivation and realm but no corresponding combat power.
Their realm increased due to the surge in the human race's fortune!
It's just that it's not easy to say these things directly.
However, fewer people support the Ziyi Clan's viewpoint; most support Xuanyuan, wanting to travel to the edge of the universe to fight against extraterrestrial demons and obtain the merits of the Great Dao.
"I think it would be better to do this: the Ancestral Court and the Primordial World also need someone to look after them. Those who are unwilling to go to the border of the universe can continue to guard it, while those who want to go can come with me later."
When Fuxi received Nuwa's message, he made up his mind. Even if no one wanted to go, they couldn't stop him.
It should be noted that the reason for his death in his previous life was due to the struggle for the opportunity to break through to the Great Luo Dao Fruit, but he ultimately perished because he was outmatched.
Now that a great opportunity to achieve enlightenment has presented itself before him, he will absolutely not give it up!
"However, those below the late stage of the Great Luo realm should not go for the time being. We will go and assess the level of danger. If there are no problems, then you may go."
After thinking for a moment, Fuxi added a few more words.
According to the message sent by Nuwa, this great battle is extremely dangerous, and those who are not strong enough should not go.
No one objected to his arrangements, as they already took into account both groups of people with differing opinions.
Those who were willing to follow Fuxi to the edge of the universe hurriedly prepared various useful spiritual items after the meeting, and others were also willing to take out their own collections to give to them.
A few days later, several faint rays of light flew towards the heavens, following the mark left by Nuwa in the letter, and headed towards the edge of the universe.
……
Talking two ends.
Without exception, all the powerful beings scattered throughout the primordial world received the message sent by the messenger dispatched by Nuwa.
At first, they were quite surprised by the contents of the letter, never expecting that there was such a reason for the nine saints leaving the prehistoric world.
As for doubt? No powerful being ever doubted it, because not only did the letter bear Nuwa's unique mark, but the messenger was indeed Nuwa's angel.
Nuwa wouldn't fabricate false information to deceive them about such important news, because it would be pointless.
In other words, they don't need to doubt the authenticity of the information; they only need to consider whether or not to get involved!
Without hesitation, some powerful beings packed up briefly and headed straight for the edge of the universe.
Even though they know that obtaining the Great Dao Merit by killing extraterrestrial demons and pushing themselves to break through to the Great Luo Dao Fruit is not a simple matter, and the probability is extremely low!
However, they still made this choice, and the reason is actually very simple: it is the clearest and most direct path to the Great Luo Dao Fruit that they currently know!
As for the method of seclusion to comprehend the laws, it is not necessarily easier or simpler.
However, some powerful beings hesitated and could not make up their minds, mainly because they were worried about their own safety. After all, the letter said that even a Dao Fruit Grand Luo cultivator would be in a very dangerous situation.
They might even have to face the Dao Fruit Grand Luo cultivators from the invading forces!
However, they are only at the Great Luo Perfection stage; if it really came down to a fight, they would be no match for a Dao Fruit Great Luo.
From a certain perspective, their devotion to the Tao is not as strong as the former's, nor do they possess the courage and mindset to forge ahead relentlessly and burn their bridges.
Therefore, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they are most likely not destined to have the opportunity to take on the vacant positions.
Regardless of the circumstances, the invasion of extraterrestrial demons caused a large number of high-level combatants to leave the prehistoric world. The Great Luo Golden Immortals, who were originally in the second tier, actually became first-class experts.
However, the news did not spread immediately, but as time went by, it could not be kept secret forever.
Fortunately, the prehistoric world was still recovering, and the various forces had received instructions from their masters, so no trouble arose as a result, and the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere remained.
……
at the same time.
In the primordial world, on Biyou Island, inside the Sutra Repository.
Li Zhirui looked up from the pile of jade slips and rubbed his temples. Although he had already broken through to the Golden Immortal realm and his soul was powerful, it was still difficult to quickly examine hundreds of jade slips in a short period of time.
The information density of these jade slips is not only extremely high, but he also needs to memorize them, which puts a tremendous strain on his mind and consciousness, resulting in his current dizziness.
However, through reading a large number of jade slips, he gained a relatively thorough understanding of the situation in the prehistoric world, and even learned why the Shangqing Dao, which once had tens of thousands of disciples, had fallen to its current state.
"I never imagined that such a great calamity would lead to the Shangqing Sect's current decline..."
Even now, looking back, Li Zhirui can't help but sigh with regret and feel quite sad.
Furthermore, he also checked the records of the major forces in the prehistoric world after the great calamity, and found that, apart from the Shangqing Dao, there was no other force that suffered such heavy casualties, or even a devastating blow!
The strangeness of this place was clear to even a mere Golden Immortal who had just arrived in the primordial world, let alone their sage teacher.
'During the teacher's last sermon, Senior Brother Duobao's gloomy expression... could it be that he's taking the blame upon himself? Does he feel that as the senior brother, he failed in his duty to protect his fellow disciples? Is that why he's developed a mental block?'
A guess suddenly popped into Li Zhirui's mind. He had found it strange at the time, but since he was new to the mountain gate and not familiar with the others, and none of them had reminded him, he pretended not to have seen it. He never expected that there was such a reason behind it.
However, judging from the arrangements made by his own teacher for his senior brother, this may also be a significant experience for him!
If he can overcome his mental obstacles during this process, then his spiritual level may be able to advance further!
If Li Zhirui's guess is correct, his senior brother is already in the late stage of the Great Luo realm. Once he succeeds, he will achieve the Great Luo perfection and catch up with those great beings who have lived for countless years.
With even sages almost unable to intervene, the presence of a Great Luo Perfection expert guarding the Shangqing Dao ensures the preservation of the sage's prestige and makes many things easier and simpler.
However, if they fail, Shangqing Dao will not only lose a late-stage Grand Luo cultivator, but it will also deal a significant blow to the morale of its many disciples. "Alas!"
Li Zhirui sighed softly. As a mere Golden Immortal, he had no way of interfering in such matters.
The current situation of Shangqingdao also made him feel a sense of urgency. No matter what, his own strength is the most reliable thing!
However, the most important thing at present is to perfect the cultivation method for the Golden Immortal Realm in the "Pure Lotus Dao Scripture". Without a suitable method, the cultivation speed is too slow.
At this rate of cultivation, it's unknown how many tens of thousands of years it will take before he has the possibility of making further progress.
Fortunately, Li Zhirui has now arrived in the prehistoric world and joined the Shangqing Dao, where he has the Shangqing Dao Jing created by the sages to refer to, which will definitely play a huge role in the Jinglian Yundao Jing.
"Junior Brother Li, why are you sighing and looking so worried all of a sudden? Have you encountered some trouble?" Suddenly, a cheerful voice rang out behind him.
He turned around and saw who it was, then quickly bowed and greeted them, saying, "Greetings, Senior Brother Zhao!"
"Don't be so formal. My fellow disciples in the Shangqing Dao are not used to such formalities."
Zhao Gongming smiled and waved his hand, then asked, "If you have any questions, just ask, and I will do my best to answer them for you."
"It's nothing major, just thinking about how to improve the technique."
Li Zhirui then asked, "Shouldn't you be in seclusion cultivating and trying to break through to the Great Luo Realm? Why have you come to the Scripture Pavilion?"
At this time, beings like them who are at the peak or late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal should be working hard to cultivate and strive for those few special Da Luo spots!
If Zhao Gongming came from an ordinary background and was unaware that the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World had slightly relaxed the requirements for breaking through to the Great Luo realm, it would be understandable that he is not currently in seclusion to cultivate.
But he's not like that!
The Supreme Daoist Master Shangqing had already pointed this out and even placed high hopes on him, yet he's not in seclusion now!?
"Hahaha, before my teacher left, he told me to take good care of my junior brother, so I came here specifically to ask if there's anything I can help you with." Zhao Gongming bluntly stated the reason for his presence in the Sutra Repository.
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother!"
Li Zhirui was deeply moved; he never expected that Zhao Gongming was doing this because of him!
There may have been instructions from the teacher, but there must have also been his own reasons for making this trip; otherwise, there would have been no need for him to make this trip.
"Junior brother has nothing to repay you with, except this Golden Immortal-grade purification lotus seed, which may be of some help to senior brother's cultivation. I hope senior brother will not refuse it! Otherwise, junior brother will truly feel uneasy!"
Without giving Zhao Gongming a chance to refuse, he stuffed a jade box into Zhao Gongming's hand.
Previously, Li Zhirui didn't even have a Xuanxian-level purified lotus seed. How did he suddenly have a lotus seed of a higher grade?
The reason for this is that after he broke through to the Golden Immortal realm, his personal space underwent a tremendous change!
It was no longer a simple expansion of area, but a surge in Daoist charm, spiritual energy, and spiritual power.
Moreover, because of the purification law that Li Zhirui cultivated, the Daoist charm and spiritual energy of the purification law in the space were even more concentrated.
Perhaps it was under the stimulation of this special situation that one of the white lotuses in the pool of purified white lotuses that had been cultivated before suddenly shone brightly. It not only absorbed all the white lotuses in the pool, but also absorbed a large amount of Daoist charm and spiritual energy. It even leaped up and crossed the Xuanxian level, directly becoming a Jinxian level purified white lotus!
Upon obtaining a Golden Immortal-grade white lotus, Li Zhirui was naturally extremely excited and happy, and then unhesitatingly invested a large amount of spirit crystals to accelerate its growth.
Even though he used up half of the spirit crystals in his hand, he only managed to spawn twice!
Aside from the dozens of golden immortal-grade white lotuses in the lotus pond, he only had twenty-eight golden immortal-grade lotus seeds in his hand.
As the grade increases, the number of lotus seeds produced also decreases. From producing fifty or sixty Immortal-grade lotus seeds per spawning, to now producing less than a double digit of Golden Immortal-grade lotus seeds, the yield has decreased by a full 60-70%.
This time, Li Zhirui directly gave Zhao Gongming nine Golden Immortal-level lotus seeds!
On another note!
"This……"
Although Zhao Gongming did not examine the spiritual items in the jade box, just hearing that it was a Golden Immortal-level spiritual item made him intend to refuse.
In his opinion, this junior brother who came from the Lesser Thousand Worlds wouldn't have many good spiritual items, especially since he had only recently broken through to the Golden Immortal realm.
But just as he was about to refuse, a mysterious force told him that this treasure would indeed be of great help to his cultivation.
For a moment, Zhao Gongming hesitated, wanting to refuse but unable to bring himself to say it.
"Senior brother, please don't refuse anymore!"
Li Zhirui said with a smile, "Junior brother, I am much richer than you think. After all, before I broke through to the Golden Immortal level, I was a Xuanxian-level alchemy master, and I could mass-produce Xuanxian-level top-grade pills by relying on the purification law."
He revealed this secret after much consideration; it wasn't something he said on a whim.
Previously, he had been wandering alone in the void and chaos, and the people he had come into contact with were all beings he could not defeat. Naturally, he had to keep this secret to prevent them from discovering it, capturing and imprisoning him, and turning him into a tool for refining top-grade spiritual pills.
But things are different now!
Li Zhirui became a disciple of the sage, and with powerful backers, he wasn't too worried that anyone would take action against him because of it.
Moreover, judging from his interactions with Zhao Gongming during this period, given the latter's character and personality, he would absolutely not reveal this matter.
"Junior brother, you actually have such abilities?" Zhao Gongming said with a look of astonishment.
At his level, although he himself was not good at alchemy, he still had a certain understanding of the art of alchemy.
Moreover, there are several Taiyi cultivators in the Shangqing Dao who are proficient in alchemy, but he has never heard of them having the ability or means to mass-produce top-grade pills.
Let alone the top-grade pills of the Taiyi level, the probability of refining even the top-grade pills of the Golden Immortal level is not high, and even the top-grade pills of the Xuan Immortal level are not guaranteed to be successful.
But this junior brother in front of me, who had only recently arrived in the prehistoric world, was able to mass-produce top-grade pills of the Xuanxian level while still in the Xuanxian realm.
"Of course!"
Li Zhirui appeared very confident, and to prove his point, he even took out all the top-grade pills he had.
Although I consumed quite a few top-grade pills recently due to tribulation and travel, I still have a dozen or so bottles in stock. (End of Chapter)
