Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1928 - 1433: The Decision

Li Zhixuan hesitated, unsure of how to reply to Li Zhirui's inquiry, since the fresh Chaos God Demon bloodline surging inside her remained largely unknown to her.

Yet she simply couldn't brush it aside, considering all the support Li Zhirui had provided her in the past without ever demanding anything back.

With this rare opportunity to repay him now at hand, refusing or turning it down was utterly impossible for her.

"Brother Jiu, don't worry, I'll dive deep into studying this method over the coming time, and should any problems surface, I'll notify you without delay."

Thus, despite her burning desire to rush off into The Void for tempering right away, Li Zhixuan resolved to remain behind for dozens of years, or perhaps even a full hundred, just to assist Li Zhirui.

Besides, delving into this method promised some real advantages for her own growth in the Chaos God Demon bloodline.

Thinking about that, she brimmed with respect for Li Zhirui—what a stellar figure in the clan!

Even without any personal tie to the Chaos God Demon, he had cleverly figured out a technique to support it.

"Will this get in the way of your cultivation?"

Though the technique mattered greatly, if it risked slowing Li Zhixuan's cultivation progress, Li Zhirui would prefer to forgo her help entirely.

"Not at all."

With a gentle shake of her head and a warm smile, Li Zhixuan explained, "Brother Jiu, I've only just advanced, and stabilizing the realm should take no more than a year, right? There's no shortcut to boosting cultivation that quick."

"That's a relief, then I'll leave this technique in your hands." Li Zhirui let out a quiet breath of ease.

As the saying goes, no true cultivation comes from isolation alone, and the technique he had devised was no different. To him, it seemed polished through endless refinements, utterly impeccable and supreme.

At this juncture, he required fresh eyes to test and probe it thoroughly.

Still, for a technique of such vital importance, how could Li Zhirui casually entrust it to just anyone? He hesitated even to share it, much less let others examine it closely.

So up to this point, he had confided in only Yuhong and Li Zhixuan, revealing it solely to them.

Yuhong possessed vast knowledge and skill, yet in the end, as an Artifact Spirit like Li Zhirui, he lacked true insight into the Chaos God Demon.

On top of that, Yuhong's own cultivation level posed a limitation, making it tough for him to spot any flaws or weaknesses in the technique.

But Li Zhixuan stood out—her cultivation fit perfectly, and above all, her very being embodied the Chaos God Demon Dao Body, born from Li Zhirui's own creation!

Though her Dao Body wasn't flawless, it existed nonetheless, granting her unique perceptions and grasp of the Chaos God Demon Dao Body.

Precisely the kind of ally Li Zhirui sought to uncover any hidden faults in the technique!

"Fingers crossed it all proceeds smoothly without a single flaw in the technique!"

His words still lingered in the air when his form vanished in an instant.

Back in the Cave Mansion, Li Zhixuan settled into a cross-legged position on the cushion, clutching the Jade Slip, her consciousness diving straight into it as she poured all her focus into scrutinizing the full technique from the start.

The Jade Slip outlined two distinct paths for forging a Chaos God Demon Dao Body:

One path treated the body as the forge, the Spiritual Soul as the core Taoist Embryo Spirit Seed, merging personal mana, cultivation base, and assorted Chaos Spiritual Objects aligned with the Laws, fueled by Chaotic Spiritual Energy, to reshape the Spiritual Soul—coalescing from nothingness through Yin Yang harmony, evolving into a Chaos Dao Embryo, and ultimately maturing into a true Dao Body.

Li Zhirui had refined this path himself. In its original form, it demanded burning not just mana and cultivation but also one's realm, foundation, and Law comprehensions, consuming the self entirely and leaving only the 'True Spirit of Self' to form the Taoist Embryo Spirit Seed.

However, with The Void's endless perils, the slow growth phase carried a grave chance of total annihilation.

That's why he swapped out the realm, foundation, and Law insights for Law-aligned Chaos Spiritual Objects, which not only sidestepped harsher cultivation challenges but eased them a touch, while apparently boosting the outcome slightly.

The alternative path used Chaos itself as the forge, the body as the Spirit Seed, relying purely on Chaotic Spiritual Energy for fuel, bolstered by Spiritual Objects tied to one's cultivation Laws, to weave those Laws into the bloodline for a complete evolution—skipping the Dao Embryo phase outright and forming a Chaos God Demon Dao Body directly.

Though the two paths diverged sharply, they converged on the same goal: attaining the Chaos God Demon Dao Body.

Still, the first path eased the initial steps, but the fresh Dao Embryo proved delicate, demanding a return to the Heavenly Immortal Realm to fully claim the Chaos God Demon Dao Body status.

This implied that, even after succeeding via the first path, one would have to rebuild cultivation from the Individual Immortal Realm step by step!

To be sure, the grasp of Laws and realms stayed preserved, requiring only the intake of Chaotic Spiritual Energy to swiftly ramp up cultivation power.

The second path demanded more to launch, yet by sparing one's cultivation from being 'burned,' the resulting Dao Embryo emerged sturdy, with no lengthy wait to restore strength.

Success here meant retaining the exact cultivation level from before, unchanged!

Li Zhirui had always leaned toward the second path, freeing him from needing guardians and allowing free roaming in The Void upon victory.

But lately, his views had shifted a bit, after countless simulations in his Sea of Consciousness all ending in failure...

The starting hurdle loomed far too steep, leading Li Zhirui to wonder if, given the struggle, the first path might prove quicker—restarting from the Individual Immortal Realm after all.
