Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2251 - 1594: Confirmation

”The Tongtian Sect’s Mystic Immortal Sect Leader? What is he suddenly doing here in Guangzhou at the Wenfeng Building?”

The shopkeeper just stood respectfully by the side without responding because he knew that this boss was talking to himself, and was not asking him a question, nor did he expect an answer from him.

”Send someone to Wenfeng Building to probe and see what that Mystic Immortal asked. If it’s under one million Spirit Stones, just buy it directly.”

Wenfeng Building, primarily engaged in selling information, is not an honest merchant. As long as you can produce enough Spirit Stones, they are willing to sell anything, and dare to sell anything!

”Yes!”

The shopkeeper acknowledged and then turned to leave the small courtyard.

...

”Is this the place?”

Following the shopkeeper’s directions, Li Zhirui eventually stopped in front of a shop located in a small alley.

When he pushed the door open and entered, there was a sudden, slight spatial fluctuation.

”Interesting.”

When his eyes adjusted to the light, he realized he was now in a different space.

It wasn’t the seemingly run-down shop, but a tranquil and elegant courtyard.

A stone path extended from the entrance, dividing the entire courtyard into east and west halves. On the east side stood an exquisite rockery, with a few stalks of orchids growing in the crevices. The moss appeared randomly scattered but spread along the stone’s texture, clearly well maintained.

Opposite it, on the west side, was a miniature pond with pink lotus flowers dotting it. There were clusters of Acorus growing by the bank, accompanied by a pavilion.

In the pavilion stood a cultivator in a black and white Taoist robe, looking rather young, with a cultivation level no higher than an Individual Immortal. When he saw Li Zhirui appear, he quickly stepped out to greet him, respectfully saying, ”Your esteemed presence is a great honor. I apologize for not welcoming you from afar, and I hope you pardon my lack of hospitality.”

”No need for such formality.”

Li Zhirui waved his hand and said, ”I have a few questions about Guangzhou. Can you answer them?”

”I’m not boasting, but in the entire Guangzhou, no matter the matters, big or small, unless it involves a Mysterious Immortal, there’s nothing my Wenfeng Building doesn’t know,” he said confidently.

This person’s confidence was backed by the capabilities of Wenfeng Building indeed.

Of course, the reason for excluding Mystic Immortal Cultivators is naturally due to Wenfeng Building not being powerful enough to disregard Mystic Immortals.

”First question, has the Spiritual Energy of Guangzhou become much denser compared to a hundred years ago?”

”Ah?”

The cultivator had prepared himself for this Mystic Immortal to ask for some secret information, but it turned out to be such a small matter?

”Don’t you know?”

Seeing this, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but furrow his brow, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

”I know, I know, please wait a moment, predecessors,” he replied, quickly gathering himself and began employing a Secret Technique to swiftly peruse relevant records.

A few breaths later, he said, ”Senior, this information is worth thirty thousand Spirit Stones. Do you wish to know?”

”If confirmed, please remit the Spirit Stones immediately, senior.”

This practice primarily aimed to prevent certain cultivators who might come without Spirit Stones, seeking free information on hidden matters.

Wenfeng Building had encountered such a situation before and suffered a considerable loss, which led to the current practice.

A mere thirty thousand Spirit Stones were nothing to Li Zhirui; he handed them over without hesitation.

”Here in this Jade Slip is what the senior wishes to know.” The other party quickly verified and handed over a Jade Slip.

With a single sweep of his Divine Sense, he instantly absorbed the content within.

As circumstances would have it, as Li Zhirui had surmised, the Spiritual Energy in Guangzhou had indeed become more concentrated without anyone realizing it.

”When did the increase in Spiritual Energy in Guangzhou begin?” he asked another question.

”Eighty thousand Spirit Stones.”

Repeating the same procedure.

Li Zhirui soon learned the answer, tracing the situation back over three hundred years.

”Three hundred years...”

At that time, he was cultivating in The Void, completely unaware of what had transpired inside the Tao Spirit Realm.

”Did any major events happen in the Tao Spirit Realm over three hundred years ago?”

The Wenfeng Building cultivator felt confused as to why this Mystic Immortal in front of him cared so much about this matter.

But since the other party was a paying guest, he merely acted as instructed.

Yet, surprisingly, after employing a Secret Technique, he couldn’t fetch the answer from the sect’s archive, leaving him astonished.

It wasn’t because there wasn’t an answer, but that his permissions weren’t sufficient to access such content!

”Apologies, junior’s cultivation level isn’t enough to access relevant information.” He spoke sincerely, and his tone was filled with regret.

Hearing this, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but frown. Though he could understand this approach, one couldn’t help but feel discontent when the adversity befalls oneself.

”This senior, you’ll be attended to by this old man next.”

Just then, an elderly figure with the cultivation of the Heavenly Immortal Realm stepped out from a room deeper in the courtyard.

”Disciple greets the Fifth Elder!” The Individual Immortal hurriedly rose to pay respects.

His heart was filled with turmoil, for he never imagined that his gesture of accessing the records just now would catch the elder’s attention, prompting them to come directly through the Teleportation Array.

”Alright, go back to your private chamber and rest for a while.”

”Yes.”

The disciple dared not oppose such a command and had to obediently comply.

”You must be the Mystic Immortal who single-handedly rebuilt the Tongtian Sect, senior?” The elder approached Li Zhirui, and immediately after greeting, openly disclosed his identity.

”Hmm.”

”Senior is concerned with such trivial matters, it looks like you’ve uncovered some secret?”

”I came to dispel doubts, not to answer your questions!” Li Zhirui stated with slight displeasure.

”Please forgive me, senior.”

The elder hastily apologized, quickly offering a Jade Slip, ”To express my apologies, the contents of this Jade Slip are complimentary for you, senior.”

”How many Spirit Stones?”

Without any particular reason, he preferred not to get entangled with Wenfeng Building and would rather spend more Spirit Stones to make it a transaction.

The elder felt slight regret but didn’t waste further words, saying, ”One million Spirit Stones. This Jade Slip should resolve many of your queries, senior, hence the higher price.”

Despite the hefty price tag, Li Zhirui handed over the Spirit Stones without hesitation, only then checking the contents of the Jade Slip.

Moments later, he retracted his sliver of Divine Sense, deeply moved.

The phenomena of world elevation in the Tao Spirit Realm began five hundred years ago, shortly after Li Zhirui had departed.

The primary factor causing this was eons of accumulated heritage, but most crucial was the sudden appearance of the Taixu Illusionary Realm five hundred years ago!

A dying Great Thousand World, during its descent into the Ruinous Void, was discovered by the Tao Spirit Realm, which led it to nearby, subsequently absorbing the remnants of the world’s essence.

Records show that the Taixu Illusionary Realm emerged in the very core region of the Tao Spirit Realm. Therefore, to contend for the Taixu Illusionary Realm’s possession, major factions broke into fierce battles.

Ultimately, none could conclusively defeat the other, leaving them to employ their abilities, entering the Taixu Illusionary Realm’s interiors in contention!

Due to Tongtian Sect’s remote location and inadequate strength, it remained unaware of such grand occurrences from centuries ago.

Not until the message had fully proliferated did Tongtian Sect realize it had missed a grand event.

”Compared to the Tao Spirit Realm, what was the grade of the Taixu Illusionary Realm back then?” Li Zhirui inquired again.

”Since you’ve spent a million Spirit Stones, you may make a free consultation once. Do you wish to use it now?”

Upon seeing him nod, the elder answered, ”The Tao Spirit Realm was slightly inferior.”

”No wonder.”

If it were an ordinary Great Thousand World transformed into the Taixu Illusionary Realm, even on the verge of upgrading the Tao Spirit Realm’s world level, it wouldn’t achieve such an impact.

Only with sufficiently high grade can it propel the Tao Spirit Realm to some extent!

This trip to Guangzhou resolved the doubts in Li Zhirui’s heart, leaving nothing else to address. He planned to return to the Tongtian Sect, urging the disciples to cultivate diligently and swiftly enhance their strength.
