Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2248 - 1593: Indifference

And during the hundreds of years that Li Zhirui was not in the Tao Spirit Realm, the Tongtian Sect underwent extraordinary changes!

The tasks he assigned before leaving were not only perfectly completed but exceeded expectations greatly.

Now, as one steps into the Tongtian Sect’s territory, the abundant, pure Spiritual Energy converges from all directions, causing one to instinctively begin operating their cultivation technique, inhaling and absorbing the Spiritual Energy.

Besides the Spiritual Energy becoming extremely abundant, the Tongtian Sect has created several Spirit Lands for cultivators based on their cultivation levels, allowing for various training experiences.

Moreover, with various distinctive Pills, Magic Artifacts, and Formations offered at discounted prices with effects far surpassing the ordinary, they possess a strong attraction for cultivators!

Thus, cultivators from nearby State Domains favor coming here for training, especially the Loose Cultivators, who choose to settle here en masse.

Because of the presence of these people, the Tongtian Sect has become so prosperous in such a short time!

Beyond these external changes, the Tongtian Sect has also experienced great internal development, with many disciples having made tremendous progress in their cultivation.

Though no disciple has broken through to the Heavenly Immortal level, several Earth Immortals have emerged, a cultivation pace that is remarkably fast.

Human Immortals and Independent Immortal Disciples keep emerging one after another, showcasing an enthusiastic and upward spirit throughout the Sect.

Of course, during this period, there were forces that envied or resented, thinking to disrupt the strong trend of Tongtian Sect’s rapid development.

But just the thought of Tongtian Sect still having Li Zhirui, the Mysterious Immortal Great Ability, stationed there, caused them to halt their intentions, no longer daring to bring up the idea.

They lack the ability and resources to invite a Mysterious Immortal, and if they were to act recklessly, the consequences would likely be tragic. It’s better to maintain the status quo.

Even being absorbed under Tongtian Sect’s banner and becoming a subordinate force in the end is better than facing death and the extinction of the sect/clan, with the inheritance severed.

At least they are still alive, and as long as people are alive, there is hope.

Even if that hope is so faint as to be practically invisible.

...

Upon returning to the Tao Spirit Realm, Li Zhirui did not rush back to the Mountain Gate but thought to take a look at how the Sect has developed.

But as he walked along, his heart was filled with emotion; he truly did not expect the Tongtian Sect to have changed so much in just a few hundred years!

However, speaking of which, the Tongtian Sect’s ability to develop into its current state has little to do with him as the Sect Leader.

At the start of the Sect’s reconstruction, Wansheng alone bore the burden, managing and overseeing the Sect’s development until he reincarnated.

Li Zhirui did not pay much attention either, delegating matters to the Stewards while he just glanced occasionally and explained the way to the disciples.

Moreover, not long after, he discovered the diligent and responsible disciple Li Qiankun and quickly handed all affairs over to him.

If one must say Li Zhirui has contributed to Tongtian Sect, it might be providing strong and powerful protection so the Sect can develop peacefully and stably.

As time passes and disciples grow, his role is less and less important.

This change not only doesn’t displease him but rather he welcomes it, because it means he won’t be entangled in too much karma.

"Do you think that the Tongtian Sect’s Sect Leader is currently undergoing a breakthrough, advancing to a new realm?"

Li Zhirui was just about to leave this bustling Immortal City when he suddenly heard someone by the roadside discussing him, sparking a bit of curiosity, so he paused instead of leaving.

He sat at a nearby empty spot, casually ordered a pot of Spiritual Tea, just in time to understand what image he has in outsiders’ eyes.

"Why do you think that?" a companion next to him curiously asked.

"You see, that Sect Leader hasn’t appeared for hundreds of years, and the True Disciple symbolizing inheritance hasn’t changed at all."

The cultivator said, "Aside from being in seclusion for breakthrough, I can’t think of anything more important than inheritance."

"Tsk!"

A cultivator sneered, saying, "You might not know, but it’s rumored that the Sect Leader doesn’t care about the Tongtian Sect at all, so maybe he’s just cultivating ordinarily, completely forgetting about this matter."

"Actually, he has always been like this, on the surface there’s nothing noticeable, but internally he’s extremely cold and indifferent, not caring about Tongtian Sect and all disciples at all."

"How could that be? If it really were as you say, why did he bother to establish the Tongtian Sect? Previously, he even went to the trouble of lecturing for a whole month?" Someone immediately refuted aloud.

"Ha!"

But that cultivator didn’t argue with him; after finishing the Spiritual Wine in hand, he just got up and left.

No one dared to stop him. They were already being disrespectful discussing a Mysterious Immortal privately, if they were saying praises, it wouldn’t be considered taboo.

But this person spoke ’slander,’ if Tongtian Sect disciples knew, they might seize all of them for interrogation.

Even if they were released in the end, they’d already suffered.

Who willingly wants to suffer for no reason?

...

Li Zhirui quietly listened, then placed down a Spirit Stone, got up and left, but no one noticed that after walking a few steps, he disappeared into thin air.

With his insight, how could he not see that the cultivator expressing real thoughts was actually a Tongtian Sect disciple?!

It’s likely many disciples within Tongtian Sect already have this thought in their hearts?

However, internally, he wasn’t much affected, because Li Zhirui indeed does not care much about Tongtian Sect; everything he does is merely to repay karma.
