Chapter 1240: Jade Dishware (Part 2)
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately fell silent.
With the rise in the Li family's power, many secrets could no longer be concealed. The most widespread rumor was that Li Zhirui single-handedly elevated the Li family to its current position as an undeniable Human Immortal force.
Of course, there was also an intention for the Li family to spread this secretly, as it would enhance the family's reputation and prestige.
The cultivators present, who came seeking Earth Immortal Taoist Techniques, would surely have investigated the Li family beforehand, naturally understanding how formidable Li Zhirui was and the profound mystery surrounding him.
On the other side.
After returning to the family grounds, Li Zhirui first sent a Communication Talisman to Da Qing, Li Guangjie, and others, informing them of his return.
"Ancestor Rui has finally returned!"
As Li Guangjie continued to read, he was astonished by the contents of the Communication Talisman, for it requested him to bring several Storage Bags when he came to see him.
"It seems that Ancestor Rui's gains from the ruins are quite substantial!" he remarked, as he took several empty Storage Bags and flew towards Li Zhirui's Cave Mansion.
However, Li Guangjie still underestimated the quantity of Spiritual Objects!
"Jiu, did you plunder the entire ruins?"
Arriving earlier, Da Qing was taken aback by the vast array of Spiritual Objects, and this usually composed person could scarcely contain his excitement.
"You all must have heard about the ruins vanishing mysteriously; that was my doing, and naturally, all the Spiritual Objects within ended up in my hands," Li Zhirui explained briefly.
Indeed, they had heard of it, but they hadn't thought in this direction, merely assuming the ruins had fled into The Void, never expecting them to have fallen into their Ancestor's hands.
"Do not spread this outside; gradually integrate these Spiritual Objects into the family's treasury."
"Yes, Ancestor Rui." Li Guangjie quickly grasped the situation, knowing that revealing too many Spiritual Objects at once would surely arouse suspicion, drawing unwanted attention and ultimately bringing disaster upon the family.
"It suffices that you understand."
Li Zhirui inquired whether any significant events had occurred within the family recently. After learning the family's development was as usual, he returned to his Cave Mansion to continue refining his Mana and comprehending the Laws.
The higher the realm, the stronger the cultivation, the slower the rate of progress. Apart from encounters and fortuitous events, most beings can only gradually elevate themselves through persistent cultivation, and he was no exception.
However, compared to most beings, Li Zhirui's cultivation speed wasn't slow; indeed, it was something they envied.
The reason was that he mastered the Purification Principle, complemented by exceptional Alchemy skills, and his mystical Personal Space, which provided him ample cultivation resources!
In this regard, even the True Disciples of top-tier forces like the Cave Abyss Sect probably couldn't compare to him.
Because there were not just one True Disciple, resources were scattered, but Li Zhirui only needed to cater to himself. Occasionally producing Immortal Pills for Da Qing and the clansmen, due to differences in cultivation, there was no conflict.
Even with such fortune, Li Zhirui never slacked off, maintaining a diligent and hardworking cultivation attitude from start to finish.
This was something that all the clansmen greatly admired, and many were inspired, altering their previous indifferent approach to cultivation.
Perhaps because of this, Li Zhirui's cultivation advanced rapidly and steadily within a short one or two millennia.
The Spiritual Energy in the Cave Mansion was abundant. He sat calmly on the meditation cushion, operated his Cultivation Technique, and absorbed the Water and Wood Spiritual Qi, transforming it into a fine drizzle that fell into the Dantian Sea of Law.
When he finished this session of cultivation, the Sea of Magic had only imperceptibly increased slightly.
And this merely concerned his cultivation; to go further, Li Zhirui needed to comprehend the Purification Principle.
If he wanted to breakthrough major realms, there was a more important matter: the Minor Thousand World within his body!
The "Earth Spirit Tao Record," or rather the cultivation technique Li Zhirui currently practiced, when in the Individual Immortal Realm, was to elevate the Purification Principle to the Human Immortal tier, and then use one's heart to replace the heavenly heart, perfecting this Minor Thousand World.
To break through to the Earth Immortal Realm, he needed to perfect some of the most basic Laws, further reduce the differences between his internal Minor Thousand World and a real Minor Thousand World.
Li Zhirui had long decided on this and had already made arrangements.
He opted for the Five Elements Laws!
Everything in the world belongs to the Five Elements, which is one of the most fundamental, basic Laws of any world.
Besides, there are the Yin Yang Law, Time Law, Space Law, among others.
Li Zhirui chose the Five Elements Laws primarily because he had limited understanding of other foundational Laws.
Secondly, there were many advantages, such as the Minor Thousand World being established within the Five Elements Immortal Root, where the Five Elements Laws are innately better established; the Five Viscera Gods also aid in the perfection of the Five Elements Laws.
And if one day he were to succeed in becoming a Heavenly Immortal, the internal Minor Thousand World should be thoroughly perfected, indistinguishable from a normal Minor Thousand World.
If he wanted to transcend the Primal Spirit Realm, the internal Minor Thousand World would need to be upgraded, ascending to become a Middle Thousand World.
As for the Great Thousand World? That was too distant a goal.
Even the Heavenly Immortal Realm was still beyond reach, let alone the realms that follow; aiming too high is not advisable.
Returning to the matter at hand!
Li Zhirui calmed his mind, channeling his consciousness into an ethereal space, surrounded by Spirit Light, with meteors sporadically streaking across.
This was the outermost edge of the Land of Laws.
With his current Spiritual Soul strength, he could already take a few steps inward...
The closer he got, the clearer and more complete the Laws he could 'see,' making them easier to comprehend.
It is said that Heavenly Immortal Great Ability could even sit in the core area, almost facing the Laws directly!
"Eh?!"
Li Zhirui counted his steps, stopping at his usual boundary, yet suddenly feeling much less pressure, as if he could proceed further inward.
"What's happening?"
He had stayed in the ruins for several months, with barely any time to cultivate; such a significant improvement should have been impossible.
His Divine Sense scanned himself, and only then did he notice something floating above his head: the true form of Yuhong—the Three Thousand Law Jade Disc!
It was precisely due to the Jade Disc that Li Zhirui felt much lighter, allowing him to advance deeper.
Faced with such a pleasant surprise, he would naturally not miss the opportunity, and immediately took steps forward until he sensed danger and halted.
"It seems that the origins of this Jade Disc aren't so simple, perhaps even Yuhong isn't aware of it."
However, this wasn't the time to delve into these matters, so Li Zhirui discarded all distracting thoughts, focusing entirely on comprehending the Purification Principle.
One must know that the strength of one's Spiritual Soul is limited, closely tied to the time spent here, thus it should not be squandered.
In less than two quarters of an hour, he could no longer bear the assimilation force of the Laws and hastily retreated.
After collecting his magic, Li Zhirui entered the Minor Thousand World, intending to ask Yuhong if he was aware of this matter.
"You're saying that my physical form can alleviate your pressure in the Land of Laws? Really?" Yuhong looked at him in disbelief. If it weren't for seeing his serious expression, he would have thought he was joking.
But for Yuhong at present, the Land of Laws isn't very suitable.
Because he's currently on a broad and extensive path, there's no necessity to seek deep and profound Laws for comprehension.
"So, you really didn't know about this." Li Zhirui had already anticipated this outcome, otherwise, he wondered why such important information would go unmentioned?
But from this, Li Zhirui could conclude just how powerful the Three Daoist Sect was back then!
Merely through an abandoned Magic Artifact, it was so mystically unique.
"Tell me, how long do you need before reaching the Earth Immortal Realm?" Li Zhirui suddenly asked earnestly.
Yuhong replied without any embellishment, "Naturally, it is many times faster than before, but I'm not so optimistic to think that's it's easy to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm; that still needs time."
"No rush, take your time." Li Zhirui replied calmly.
