Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2194 - 1567: Test

You must understand, our teacher has an innumerable amount of disciples, yet not every single one is granted the Formation that permits the divine soul to enter the Chaos Realm.

Consequently, those who are permitted to sit upon a mat and absorb the teachings are, at the very least, highly esteemed by our teacher.

Yet, for a cultivator who isn't even a disciple of the Shangqing Dao to possess the right to enter the Chaos Realm clearly indicates the teacher's profound regard for him.

As he faced the inquisitive gazes of his several direct disciples, the Upper Clarity Sect Master chose not to conceal his thoughts, stating, "This child possesses an innate connection with our Shangqing Dao, and it appears there might be even more significant karmic ties at play behind him."

"Even the teacher is unaware of this?" inquired one disciple, who was always known for his cheerful demeanor and innocent aura, with evident surprise.

The others too displayed astonishment and awe. Within their understanding, their teacher was an omnipotent being, yet they now perceived him as unable to fully comprehend a mystic immortal cultivator originating from a remote world.

"Indeed, which is precisely why I plan to induct him into the sect, allowing for closer observation in the future."

The Upper Clarity Sect Master continued, his voice low, "This matter should not be widely broadcast; therefore, refrain from discussing it beyond these walls."

"Your disciple remembers your command," they replied in perfect unison.

Following this, they each departed, leaving the Upper Clarity Sect Master alone within the Chaos Realm, lost in deep contemplation.

...

As two flowers commence their bloom, each signifies a distinct branch.

Tao Spirit Realm.

Li Zhirui guided the relics to materialize in a secluded location, where human presence was virtually nonexistent.

"Sect Leader, should you not be focusing on recruiting more followers and enhancing the renown of the Tongtian Sect? Why have you chosen to arrive in such an isolated area?" The remnant soul could not fathom this course of action.

In its estimation, Li Zhirui, with his Profound Immortal Realm cultivation and the formidable array within the relics, need not fear even a Golden Immortal.

Therefore, there was seemingly no need for excessive caution in his movements; a measure of arrogance and unreserved action would have been acceptable.

"I have yet to thoroughly examine the contents within the relics. Hastily recruiting disciples and introducing complications would not be prudent," Li Zhirui explained, outlining his strategy.

Moreover, he had only recently learned from the remnant soul about the origins of the Tongtian Sect, which solidified his conviction that this lineage held a profound secret, possibly involving the most supreme entities in the universe.

Thus, he resolved to continue adhering to his cautious approach.

"By the way, how should I address you?" Li Zhirui inquired, feeling that perpetually referring to it as 'remnant soul' was not quite fitting.

To his surprise, upon hearing this question, the entity remained motionless for a considerable duration before finally responding with a touch of melancholy, "Sect Leader, you may address me as Wansheng."

This name was derived from the amalgamated remnants of countless cultivators' consciousnesses.

"Very well."

Li Zhirui raised an eyebrow, sensing an untold story behind the name, but he chose not to probe further. Instead, he stated, "Let us proceed. First, take me to the treasure vault."

Wansheng, unable to deny the request of the new Sect Leader, had no choice but to lead the way.

Before long, after traversing a sequence of structures, they arrived at the entrance of the treasure vault.

"Sect Leader, the next step requires your action to dismantle the existing restrictions."

Prior to the emergence of an appointed heir, Wansheng retained a degree of authority over the relics. However, with the arrival of the new sect leader, all such privileges were unequivocally rescinded.

Now, it could only freely traverse areas not protected by sealed restrictions, being incapable of accessing any other locations.

Despite this limitation, far from experiencing dissatisfaction, it was, in fact, quite pleased, as this signified the removal of nearly all its former fetters and constraints!

Its sole remaining task was to assist the new Sect Leader in rebuilding and fortifying the Tongtian Sect to a certain degree. Upon successful completion of this duty, it would regain complete autonomy, achieve reincarnation, and cease to exist as a mere remnant soul.

Compared to the profound prospect of rebirth and embarking once more on the arduous path of cultivation, the privileges associated with the relics were of negligible importance.

"Hmm."

Li Zhirui acknowledged this with a quiet sound. With a mere thought, the Jade Platform, having transformed into the Sect Leader's Jade Seal, materialized gently and was pressed against the treasure vault door. With an audible 'creak,' the portal swung open.

The instant the pair stepped inside the treasure vault, their vision was overwhelmed by a brilliant, dazzling spiritual luminescence, requiring a moment for their eyes to adjust.

"I am rather surprised that after so many years, these spiritual treasures within the vault remain precisely as they were upon their initial placement, showing no discernible change," he commented, a note of astonishment in his voice.

Wansheng elaborated, "Within the treasure house, a Formation exists that seals the luminescence of spiritual items, yet it demands a colossal expenditure of spiritual energy. Previously, the relics resided within the earth veins, transforming absorbed Earth Qi into spiritual energy. However, having departed from the earth veins, the Locking Spirit Array's efficacy is diminishing rapidly."

"The timeframe should prove adequate."

After all, the relics had initially been in a dormant state, containing merely a single residual soul, incapable of consuming spiritual objects.

But now, with the imminent restoration of the Tongtian Sect and the impending recruitment of disciples, these spiritual objects will transition from idleness to active utilization. Their rapid depletion is anticipated, leaving little behind once the spiritual luminescence of the items fades.

Li Zhirui meandered through the treasure vaults, scrutinizing the functionalities and impacts of these spiritual objects. His objective was twofold: to gain comprehension and to identify any items potentially beneficial to him.

He dedicated well over half a day to traversing the treasure house, meticulously documenting every spiritual object, the grand total reaching 35,782 distinct items.

Among this vast collection, items of the Human Immortal and Earth Immortal grades were the most abundant. Following closely were those of the Individual Immortal and Heavenly Immortal grades. Next in line were the Profound Immortal rank items, with the rarest being the Golden Immortal rank spiritual objects, numbering a mere few dozen.

Naturally, these spiritual objects represented an immense fortune for them.

Should word of this discovery ever propagate, the ensuing chaos would be unimaginable, potentially drawing the attention of even Golden Immortals in pursuit.
