Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2192 - 1566: Acceptance

The lecture he had just received had illuminated many of Li Zhirui's cultivation uncertainties, leaving him with a lingering sense of reluctance and sorrow that it concluded so swiftly.

Nevertheless, he understood that this opportunity had been a divine blessing, and he should not harbor further desires.

Thus, he swiftly composed himself, awaiting what was to come next.

"Thank you, teacher/master/sect hierarch, for your profound teachings."

At this juncture, every individual seated on the mats, employing varied forms of address, conveyed their sincere gratitude to the Green Robed Taoist presiding at the forefront.

Li Zhirui, slightly delayed, selected a more distant appellation, respectfully referring to him as the sect hierarch and offering a deep bow of thanks.

"Teaching, responding to questions, and dispelling doubts are intrinsic to a master's role; there is no need for excessive formality. Return to your secluded cultivation."

The Green Robed Taoist made no discernible movement, yet all other figures on Li Zhirui’s mat instantaneously dematerialized.

However, the figures on the remaining six mats persisted, directing a spectrum of meaningful gazes his way—some alight with smiles, others imbued with kindness and approachability, still others sternly observant, and a few utterly indifferent.

This abrupt alteration startled him; he had initially surmised this to be a vestige of history, events long past, into which he had stumbled, but the current circumstances suggested otherwise.

"Are you presently undergoing the inheritance trial of the Tongtian Sect within the Tao Spirit Realm?" the Green Robed Taoist inquired.

A surge of astonishment coursed through Li Zhirui's heart—how could this Taoist, whose location was previously unknown, ascertain his current position and actions!? Such a feat implied a realm of cultivation of unimaginable depth!

Could this truly be the legendary supreme being who had attained the Daluo Dao Fruit?

Daring no hint of negligence, he responded with profound respect, "Reporting to Senior, I am indeed amidst the trial. I am uncertain how I have suddenly arrived here, and I beg your forgiveness."

"There is no imperative for such profound caution."

The Taoist gave a slight shake of his head, let out a sigh, and stated, "The Tongtian Sect of the Tao Spirit Realm, under the guidance of my disciples, initially sought further opportunities but regrettably encountered an unforeseen demise."

"As you are undertaking the inheritance trial, your fortuitous arrival in this Chaotic Heaven is your own destiny, thus even if you choose to forgo the inheritance, it holds no consequence."

Beneath him were legions of disciples encompassing a vast array of cultivation levels, ranging from the most rudimentary Individual Immortal Realm to the paramount Daluo Realm within the cosmos.

Furthermore, many disciples were dispersed across disparate worlds; to facilitate their guidance and the swift resolution of their cultivation quandaries, he had thoughtfully engineered a specialized Formation.

Irrespective of the vast distances, upon activation of the subsidiary formation, he possessed the capability to draw their consciousness into this designated space via the master formation's conduit.

And within the legacy site where Li Zhirui found himself, such a Formation existed, perpetually in an activated state, consequently drawing him, engrossed in his inheritance trial, into its embrace unknowingly.

Of course, whether his presence in this space and his attendance at this lecture were premeditated by the Green Robed Taoist, or not...

He inclined towards the former: surely an entity capable of perceiving all things would not be oblivious to Li Zhirui's true identity.

As for the pronouncements made by the Taoist, Li Zhirui found himself unable to simply disregard them, especially considering his already burgeoning inclination towards accepting the inheritance and its attendant karmic obligations.

Indeed, there appeared to be no alternative; even an inheritance of the Golden Immortal tier would suffice to sway his resolve, let alone the revelation that the being behind the Tongtian Sect far surpassed a mere Golden Immortal.

"Disciple, blessed with the fortune to encounter this inheritance, shall endeavor to rebuild this lineage, amplify our sect’s esteemed standing, and elevate our sect’s renown!" Li Zhirui vowed with utmost sincerity.

"Hahahahaha..."

The Green Robed Taoist erupted into unrestrained laughter but displayed no anger, instead chiding with affectionate amusement, "I had not anticipated you to be so cunning, young one!"

"Do not place undue importance upon the Dao Tong inheritance; resolving your personal karmic connections is sufficient. The paramount objective is to locate my disciple's reincarnated form."

"Disciple is unaware of how to identify the reincarnation of that esteemed senior."

"You share a karmic resonance with him, thus there is no cause for concern regarding your ability to find him."

"Disciple comprehends."

"Return now, and I trust that another opportunity for our paths to cross will arise in the near future."

With these words, he granted Li Zhirui no interval for a reply, dispatching him directly back to the legacy site within the Tao Spirit Realm.

Upon regaining his full faculties, he discovered that his trial had, unexpectedly and without his conscious awareness, reached its conclusion.

Alternatively, it could be surmised that the trial had concluded the moment he entered Chaotic Heaven, merely awaiting his eventual return.

After all, what trial could possibly carry greater significance than one personally acknowledged by that very sect hierarch?

Upon Li Zhirui's reappearance amidst the ruins, the wraith observed the spectacle with utter astonishment, exclaiming in disbelief, "You've already conquered the trial!? How could it be so swift!"

Barely half an hour had elapsed since his entrance into the checkpoint.

In years past, these ruins had surfaced numerous times, each instance seeing individuals reach the final stage. However, none had managed to complete the trial within the allotted time, securing merely a handful of Spiritual Objects. Even a Golden Immortal had attempted it, falling short by several days and leaving with profound regret.

"Could an exceptionally high score in the preceding stage significantly bolster one's performance in the final trial?" the wraith pondered internally.

Li Zhirui, opting for an air of mystery, merely offered a calm nod and instructed, "Lead me to the final location where the inheritance awaits."
