Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1932 - 1435: Pending Repair

"Father, does this approach really work?" Li Chengsheng asked with great anticipation.

Breaking free from the Primal Spirit Realm to pursue a vast and enduring journey was the dream and goal shared by him and Li Chengshuo.

Over the years, rather than drawing in the spiritual energy from nature, the pair relied on the Sun and Taiyin forces to transform chaotic spiritual energy, processing just a bit of it to gradually boost their cultivation levels.

In addition, they traded with Shenling for the Sky Ascension Star Birth Secret Technique, allowing them to nurture stars and speed up the transformation of that chaotic spiritual energy.

Every one of these actions aimed to reduce or settle the karma they had built up with the Primal Spirit Realm.

Still, the siblings figured that the karma they carried remained hugely massive, and using their present techniques, who knew how many years it might require to finally balance the scales.

Yet, out of the blue, word reached them of a different strategy from the clan, one that was bound to yield stronger outcomes than what they were doing now.

"Theoretically, yes, it should work!"

Knowing full well the desires of his children, Li Zhirui held nothing back in his response, "Though we can't predict the exact outcomes just yet."

The clan hadn't tested this path before, leaving many details in the dark; everything hinged on how Li Zhixuan's trial turned out.

That said...

"Zhixuan's trial won't show results for at least two thousand years. It's not terribly long, but by the time you step in, another one or two thousand years will pass, stretching the wait considerably."

After pausing to consider, Li Zhirui explained, "The only travel method I possess is the simplest kind, effective for just a brief moment, which doesn't suit venturing out or claiming new territories. Fuller techniques face limits set by the Immortal Tao, so sharing them isn't possible."

"Why not head to the Heavenly Court and ask the Heavenly Emperor if he can grant you the full World Traveling Technique?"

Even as he suggested that, he handed over the most basic version to the siblings anyway.

Should they fail to secure a technique from the Divine Path, this at least provided a starting point for their own deductions, even if it demanded far more time.

"Okay, thanks, Father."

Li Chengsheng itched to dash back to the starry expanse, yet since they'd only been home for under an hour, he felt awkward about rushing off right away.

The idea they'd had of swapping cultivation insights with the family's three Heavenly Immortals got tossed aside instantly, overshadowed by weightier priorities.

But their faces gave away their impatience, so Li Zhirui spoke up first, "I see you two are bursting with eagerness—head out."

"Fengwu remains in closed-door cultivation, pushing toward the Heavenly Immortal Realm, so a meeting with her isn't possible right now."

A touch of embarrassment washed over the pair, but with their father's permission, they skipped any false delays and departed at once.

As he observed their retreating forms, Li Zhirui shook his head lightly. The siblings yearned to seize a Middle Thousand World, yet the clan probably wouldn't throw its full support behind them.

For one thing, their long absence from the family meant weak bonds with both the clan and its people—under those circumstances, expecting aid seemed unreasonable.

For another, their roles now leaned more toward Divine Monarchs in the Divine Path than true sons of the Immortal Tao Li Clan. Leaning on the Immortal Tao for support while ignoring the Divine Path felt out of place.

Yet this setup had its upsides; it kept the karma they owed the family to a minimum.

Clearing his mind with another shake of his head, he pressed on with readying himself for the Floating Light Realm.

What kept Li Zhirui from fretting over his own transcendence? He'd mapped it out thoroughly and run multiple tests already!

At its core, his plan involved wielding the Purification Principle he had grasped to cleanse the deep-seated grime and corruption that had piled up in the Primal Spirit Realm across endless ages.

It's clear why such grime and corruption hinder a world's growth so severely. Countless realms face massive disasters just to purge the buildup of impurities!

When that buildup grows excessive, it bursts forth, tainting everything and causing all Wanling to crumble while the world itself slips into the Ruinous Void!

Naturally, Li Zhirui didn't delude himself into thinking he could single-handedly scour away every bit of filth from eons past, but even a tiny portion purified could settle his karmic debt.

Thus, his focus now lay solely on advancing his cultivation, deepening his realm, and building his strength, all to unleash the Chaos God Demon Dao Body once he transcended.

And that path for Li Zhirui followed the standard, time-honored order.

Like two blossoms on separate stems, each story unfolds its own way.

Turning to Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, they didn't soar back to the starry void after departing Mount Wanxian; instead, they made straight for the Heavenly Court to seek an audience with Heavenly Emperor Ziwei.

Before long, a divine messenger ushered them into the Palace of the Polestar.

"We greet you, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!" The two offered a respectful bow.

Deep down, though, they marveled in unison; after all these years, the aura of authority radiating from him had grown even more intense!

That aura, however, didn't arise from greater depths in his cultivation, but from the swelling weight of his rank and the reverence it commanded.

Ziwei struck them now as less a supreme deity of the Heavenly Immortal Realm and more a veteran official mired in the intricacies of courtly duties.

His chosen route seemed to drift ever farther from the heart of cultivation, exuding an air of unchallenged rule that stemmed more from his exalted throne as Heavenly Emperor than from his own hard-earned progress.

Unless he snapped out of it, his realm and cultivation would grind to a halt, refusing to advance another step.

Still, the strengthening of his Heavenly Emperor position would elevate Ziwei's might as well. With the backing of the Beidou Divine System and the steady aid from the Star God System, stability in those pillars meant no risk of his downfall.
