Chapter 914: Chapter 920: Persuasion
The most important thing was that as the first Cultivator from a lower realm faction to achieve Ascension, someone like Li Zhirui would generally not be accepted by any powers.
He could only become a Loose Cultivator!
And the suffering of a Loose Cultivator, even if Li Zhirui had never personally experienced it, he had seen enough of it.
Although Da Qing had no understanding of that Great Thousand World, not even knowing its name, it wasn’t hard to guess this.
What faction would accept someone who sought discipleship halfway through?
Even if there were, they wouldn’t treat them as confidants or direct disciples, at best they would be an Inner Sect Disciple.
After all, in the Great Thousand World where the Laws were clear and Spiritual Energy was abundant, there was never a shortage of geniuses. The exceptional abilities that Li Zhirui had in the Profound Origin Realm, when placed in the Great Thousand World, might not amount to much more than trivial matters.
Recruiting a genius and nurturing them slowly could take how many years? And others would surely be more loyal.
Of course, with the current strength of the Li family, using the uniqueness of space to bring them to the Great Thousand World might not be of any help, just like those Qi Cultivation forces in the Profound Origin Realm.
But having them was still better than none; even a small force was better than being a Loose Cultivator!
A small force still had fellow disciples and clan members to help each other, but a Loose Cultivator was utterly alone, having to rely on oneself for everything.
Like the opening of the Spirit Realm, Li Zhirui didn’t have a second Purifying Spirit Plant in his hand, but he had previously obtained a Sixth-order Purifying Spiritual Object in the Void.
Thus, he had to rely on Jiang Fengwu’s power.
And after the Spirit Realm was opened, Li Zhirui couldn’t possibly guard it all the time, could he?
If he occasionally went out to gain experience and seek opportunities, the Spirit Realm would at most be left with Da Qing or one of them guarding it, what use was that?
Li Zhirui was moved!
What Da Qing said was not without reason.
"But how to conceal the existence of the space, and its special characteristics?"
This was Li Zhirui’s greatest worry.
Why hadn’t he told anyone about the existence of the space, aside from Da Qing and a few other Contracted Spirit Beasts?
Wasn’t it because he considered the unpredictability and changeability of human hearts!
How many stories were there from his past life about friends and relatives betraying their own?
Not to mention, the mere existence of the space was enough to make many Cultivators greedy. If they also knew about the space’s effect on accelerating the growth of Spiritual Objects, Li Zhirui did not believe that none of his many clan members would reveal the secret!
"This issue isn’t hard to solve."
Since Da Qing dared to make a suggestion, he naturally had thought about the existence of various problems and ways to solve them.
He said, "Before Jiu undergoes Tribulation Transcendence, inform me through Soul Voice Transmission, and also Xiaoqing and the others. While most of the clan members are observing, we can make them fall asleep."
"After we arrive in the Upper Realm through the Guiding Fairy Light, we just release them, and we can conceal the existence of the space."
"But people will still be curious about how they came to the Great Thousand World," Li Zhirui shook his head, letting the clan members speculate was not a good method, it might lead to increasingly wild rumors.
Da Qing’s expression became solemn, and he said, "Have everyone take a Heavenly Oath and a Heart Demon Oath not to reveal that they came from the lower realm."
"As for their speculations, let them speculate. We won’t explain, and in any case, we can’t announce it publicly."
"This way, by the time the next generation grows up, we won’t have to worry about these issues."
Li Zhirui’s eyes brightened; this was indeed a good idea.
After all, the purpose of the clan members leaking secrets was mostly to obtain Cultivation Resources from other forces, but if they broke the Heavenly Oath and Heart Demon Oath, their Cultivation would no longer advance, so what point would there be in leaking secrets?
Of course, there were definitely still many problems during the process, since they were still in preliminary discussions and couldn’t solve everything. 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
But even so, Li Zhirui had already been persuaded by Da Qing.
"Then it would be hard for you to find, over these years, either a Spiritual Object or a Method that could even make those undergoing Divine Transformation fall unconscious."
Upon hearing Li Zhirui say this, Da Qing knew he had agreed.
In reality, Da Qing also had his own self-interest.
He couldn’t bear to leave his offspring behind in the Profound Origin Realm.
But since these offspring had already signed contracts with the clan members, they couldn’t be separated and had to be taken along.
What difference was there between taking a small part of the clan and taking most of the clan members?
Everyone would speculate and be curious; it would be better to bring more clan members who could provide more help later on.
"Jiu, you just focus on your Cultivation. Xiaoqing, and I will take care of this matter," Da Qing assured.
"Alright."
Li Zhirui smiled and nodded, then watched as Da Qing left.
Sitting alone within the Spirit Realm, Li Zhirui pondered over the words Da Qing had said.
From this, it was evident that he was still somewhat hesitant and uncertain about Da Qing’s suggestion.
After all, once the news leaked, Li Zhirui might be endlessly pursued and forced to flee.
He didn’t trust human nature, but he also couldn’t bear to forgo the benefits brought by the family.
Weighing everything in his heart, he ultimately decided to let Da Qing proceed while he himself would just focus on Cultivation. After reaching a higher realm, he would reconsider.
Having made his decision, Li Zhirui exhaled a breath of turbid air and closed his eyes in meditation, dispelling various miscellaneous thoughts from his mind.
Then, he began setting up prohibitions, sealing the Spirit Realm to ensure not a trace of his aura leaked.
After completing these tasks, Li Zhirui returned to his pillow and started to adjust his condition.
Days went by in a flash.
One night.
Li Zhirui took out the intact Tianhua Grand Dream Yin Fruit and swallowed it without hesitation.
The Spirit Fruit was small and seemed solid, but like smoke, as soon as it was close to his mouth and gently inhaled, it all entered his body. Unlike other Spiritual Objects, the smoke didn’t travel downwards into his Dantian but instead moved upwards into his Sea of Consciousness, finally being absorbed by his Spiritual Soul.
Instantly, an extremely mysterious Dao Rhyme hit him, and Li Zhirui began setting various configurations for the dream world evolution. Once done, he completely immersed himself into a profound dream!
Not knowing how much time had passed, Li Zhirui opened his eyes, restoring the light before him, looking at the setup not far away identical to the Purification Spirit Realm on Mount Wanxian, surrounded by dense Spiritual Energy...
Even though he had known all this was fake, just a dream, he was still shocked by the realism.
"Worthy of being a treasure that even Integration Great Powers would desperately vie for! Even if I only have half, it is still an incomparable treasure for me!"
Li Zhirui remarked and then closed his eyes, immersing himself fully in Cultivation.
The Mana and Cultivation Levels were fake, but the Realm was real!
Therefore, Li Zhirui mainly focused on improving his Realm, not caring much about Cultivation Levels or Mana.
While three hundred years in the dream seemed very long, once he immersed himself in Cultivation, he would find that time was far from sufficient!
Li Zhirui naturally didn’t want to waste time here contemplating how the Grand Dream Treasure Fruit achieved such realism, because he knew his limitations, aware that this was not something he could explore.
