Chapter 2069 1503: Transcendence_2
Fortunately, after being rejected, the Heavenly Dao did not become angry, merely dispersed quickly, ceasing to prevent Li Zhirui from severing the karmic ties with the Primal Spirit Realm.
The figure, hovering in mid-air, finally began to move again, soaring towards The Void.
Though it spanned but a brief moment, it was enough to make many family members anxious, thereby missing out on opportunities.
As more karmic ties were resolved, Li Zhirui's ascension speed increased until he reached the edge of the Boundary Membrane.
When the final strand of karma was severed, he stepped towards The Void and disappeared from sight.
From then on, Li Zhirui was completely free of entanglements with the Primal Spirit Realm.
"Jiu/Father/Ancestor Rui…"
Following closely, the family members called out.
Their purpose was not to hold him back but to savor the last moments to linger with Li Zhirui.
After today's farewell, future meetings might be impossible!
"Cultivate diligently, strive to transcend soon; perhaps one day we might meet in The Void." Confronted by numerous reluctant, sorrowful gazes, Li Zhirui too felt heavy-hearted.
Yet this step was a decision he had yearned for countless years, impossible to regret, nor could he regret.
No! Given the Heavenly Dao's regard for him, perhaps he could return and still maintain a transcendent stance.
"This is a method I created, which might aid your cultivation someday, but do not practice it until Heavenly Immortal stage, before transcending!"
Saying this, he entrusted the Jade Slip to Jiang Fengwu.
Especially for the Divine Beings like Li Chengsheng, Li Chengshuo, Qingpeng, they could inadvertently attract Heavenly Punishment if they recklessly cultivate.
Perhaps due to Chaos God Demon and Divine Beings being mutually incompatible; the specifics were unclear to Li Zhirui.
But viewed differently, these Divine Beings were quite suited for cultivating the Chaos God Demon Technique due to their profound grasp of the Laws, more so than other cultivators of the same realm.
"Father!"
Li Chengshuo rushed forward, tearfully exclaiming, "I will never see you again."
"Silly child, cultivate diligently, there's still a chance."
Li Chengshuo said nothing, merely held his hand, silently weeping.
"Jiu! Take care on your journey! Someday, we'll reunite in The Void!" Qingpeng, most open-minded, and confident in his ability to transcend.
"Good! I eagerly anticipate that day!"
Li Zhirui responded with a laugh, then chatted briefly with Qingxuan, Jiang Fengwu, and others.
He advised Qingxuan to maintain a calm mindset, not to be agitated by others' breakthroughs, to avoid undermining years of diligent cultivation.
He suggested to Jiang Fengwu that Array Tao too is a Greater Tao, which she might explore.
He instructed Qingpeng and Qingcang to care for the family.
"Moreover, there's one thing you can use as reference, but never hold it as gospel!"
As he spoke, his expression turned gravely serious, even setting a Restriction nearby before saying: "In the coming epoch, it's likely the paths will wane, and the Divine Path will flourish!"
"Ancestor Rui, why do you say that?!" Li Debo couldn't help but ask anxiously.
"It's merely my speculation, not certainty."
Li Zhirui shook his head, saying, "Moreover, the tides aren't necessarily irreversible; those Mystic Immortal cultivators have surely gathered to discuss strategies, perhaps they'll indeed succeed one day."
Thus, while stating his conjecture, he added a reminder.
"I've noted it down; the family will adjust its development direction according to future trends, prioritizing preservation of the family lineage."
With little more to say, it seemed nothing remained.
"Take care! Cultivate diligently!"
Before departure, Li Zhirui offered no emotional farewell, only uttered the simplest, yet heartfelt blessing.
Then transformed into Spirit Light, fleeing towards the distant Void.
The crowd only felt a flash of Spirit Light pass before their eyes, swiftly vanishing into the thick gray mist, disappearing within mere moments.
"Let's go back."
Yet Jiang Fengwu and others delayed their departure, continued standing to watch the direction Li Zhirui left, until Qingpeng spoke, prompting them to return to the Primal Spirit Realm.
Li Zhirui's transcendence significantly impacted the Li family, for his strength allowed him to address any family troubles.
Most importantly, he was the family's spiritual pillar!
Thus, in the upcoming period, an atmosphere of gloom pervaded the family, akin to endless days of rain that refused to clear.
Yet there were positive effects, like Li Chengsheng, Li Chengshuo, others becoming more rigorous in their cultivation.
Externally, the Li family remained unchanged, unaffected by Li Zhirui's departure; no longer just a family with a single Heavenly Immortal as before.
No antagonist from operas suddenly appearing to declare defeating the Li family.
Li Zhirui's transcendence was akin to a pebble tossed into the ocean of the Primal Spirit Realm, causing slight ripples, but swiftly fading without much attention.
...
Upon leaving the Primal Spirit Realm, Li Zhirui glanced around, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Unlike before, without the Primal Spirit Realm as a fixed reference for position.
But now without it, lacking a new 'beacon' for position determination, posed a challenge.
Thus Li Zhirui directly chose to abandon, deciding against investing much time in this task, as it wasn't crucial for a solitary traveler.
Moreover, he had more important tasks on hand, lacking spare energy and time.
Li Zhirui didn't recklessly begin employing the Lotus Taoist method; his primary goal now was locating a relatively safe region in The Void.
Though no truly safe place exists within Chaos-shrouded Void, an adequately passable spot suffices.
Hence, not long after, Li Zhirui found a suitable area meeting his criteria.
"Hmm, here's nice."
Calm and quiet, with sufficient space.
Disinclined to spend further effort in search, he established it as his temporary retreat area.
Li Zhirui's first task was setting up a Defensive Array, not necessarily to withstand Chaotic Storms, but at least weaker attacks.
Yet crucially, using it for concealment, avoiding detection by passing Fierce Beasts disturbing his cultivation time.
Once preparations were completed, Li Zhirui retrieved Mystic Lotus, Ancient Lotus, Yellow Lotus, Bai Lian individually, and the fused Green Lotus; unexpectedly, he had collected five kinds of lotus seeds.
The reason his transcendence was slightly delayed was accelerating the cultivation of the newly acquired Yellow Lotus within space.
Based on these five Spiritual Lotuses, complemented by numerous Spiritual Objects, he began arranging according to the Secret Technique.
Upon completion, Li Zhirui reached the center of the Methods and sat cross-legged.
Calming his Mental State, fully restoring Mana, he initiated the Chaos God Demon Dao Body.
Soon, his body surged with a powerful force, instantly transforming into tremendous suction, absorbing surrounding Spiritual Objects.
Currently, Li Zhirui's body resembled a Pill fused with various Spiritual Essences, and his next task was fully absorbing and digesting these essences!
