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

"Father, does this approach really work?" Li Chengsheng asked with keen interest.

Breaking free from the Primal Spirit Realm to tread a vaster and more enduring journey represented the deep longing and relentless drive shared by him and Li Chengshuo.

Over numerous years, rather than drawing in the spiritual energy of the natural world, they harnessed the Sun and Taiyin to transform chaotic spiritual energy, processing just a fraction of it to gradually bolster their cultivation levels.

Moreover, they traded with Shenling to acquire the Sky Ascension Star Birth Secret Technique, enabling them to nurture stars and speed up the transformation of chaotic spiritual energy.

All of this hard work aimed to reduce or settle the karma they had incurred with the Primal Spirit Realm.

Still, the siblings figured that the karma they carried remained vast beyond measure, and using their present techniques, no one could predict just how many years might pass before they could even hope to balance the scales.

Yet in a surprising turn, news of a different strategy reached them from the family, one that clearly offered far superior outcomes compared to what they were doing now.

"Theoretically speaking, yes, it works!"

Knowing full well the desires burning in the hearts of his children, Li Zhirui held nothing back in his response, "Though we can't say for sure what the exact outcomes will be."

In the end, the family hadn't tested this path yet, leaving many details shrouded in mystery; everything hinged on how Li Zhixuan's trial would unfold.

That said...

"Zhixuan's trial won't show any fruits for at least two thousand years. It's not terribly long in the grand scheme, but when you finally step in, another one or two millennia will have passed, stretching the wait considerably."

Li Zhirui paused briefly before continuing, "The only traveling art I possess is the simplest kind, one that endures for mere moments and isn't fit for venturing out or claiming new territories. The fuller versions come with bindings from the Immortal Tao, so sharing them is off-limits."

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

Even as he suggested it, he handed over the most rudimentary version to the pair anyway.

Should they fail to secure a technique from the Divine Path, this basic one would at least give them a starting point for their own derivations, even if it demanded far more effort and time.

"Very well, thanks, Father."

Li Chengsheng itched to rush back to the starry expanse, yet realizing they'd only been home for under an hour, he felt too awkward to bid farewell right away.

Their initial intent to swap cultivation insights with the family's three Heavenly Immortals got tossed aside without a second thought, overshadowed by weightier priorities.

But their faces gave them away completely, prompting Li Zhirui to speak first, "I can see you're bursting with impatience—off you go."

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

The siblings felt a touch embarrassed, yet with their father's permission ringing clear, they dropped any pretense and departed at once.

As he gazed at their retreating forms, Li Zhirui shook his head ruefully. Those two burned to seize a Middle Thousand World, yet the family probably wouldn't throw its full weight behind them.

For starters, their long absence from the family meant scant bonds with it or its kin—under such circumstances, expecting full aid seemed unrealistic.

Besides, their roles now leaned more toward Divine Monarchs in the Divine Path than true scions of the Immortal Tao Li Clan. Leaning on the Immortal Tao for support while bypassing the Divine Path struck as downright improper.

Still, this setup had its upsides; it kept their karmic debt to the family lighter.

With another shake of his head to clear his mind, he pressed on with readying himself for the dive into the Floating Light Realm.

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

The core of his plan boiled down to wielding the Purification Principle under his command to cleanse the grime and corruption that had piled up in the Primal Spirit Realm across endless ages.

It made perfect sense—such grime and corruption posed massive barriers to a world's growth. Countless realms faced devastating disasters just to scour away the buildup!

Should it swell unchecked, the outbreak would taint everything, dooming all Wanling to ruin and plunging the world into the Ruinous Void!

Naturally, Li Zhirui harbored no delusions of single-handedly purging the entirety of that ancient accumulation, but chipping away even a tiny bit could well erase his karmic burden.

Thus, his focus now sharpened on elevating his cultivation, realm, and might, all to unleash the Chaos God Demon Dao Body once he transcended.

And Li Zhirui's chosen route followed the tried-and-true, time-honored order.

Two blooms on separate stems, each telling its tale.

Turning to Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, upon departing Mount Wanxian, they skipped a return to the starry void and instead made straight for the Heavenly Court to seek an audience with Heavenly Emperor Ziwei.

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

"Hail to you, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!" The duo offered a respectful bow.

Deep down, though, astonishment gripped them both; after all these years, the aura of authority radiating from this sovereign had deepened into something truly formidable!

That aura, however, arose not from ever-profounder cultivation depths, but from the swelling might and dignity of his exalted office.

Ziwei struck them now as less a towering deity of the Heavenly Immortal Realm and more a veteran administrator mired in the webs of governance.

His chosen way seemed to drift ever farther from pure cultivation pursuits, exuding an overbearing presence born more from the throne of the Heavenly Emperor than from his own tireless practice.

Without realizing this shift, his realm and cultivation would grind to a halt, locked in place with no further advances.

Even so, the growing potency of the Heavenly Emperor's seat would elevate Ziwei's strength all the same. Backed by the steadfast Beidou Divine System and the steady aid of the Star God System, stability in those pillars meant no fear of his dethronement.
