Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Li Zhirui looked at the dense projections and puppets in front of him, took a deep breath, calmed his inner emotions, and began to think about how to pass the trial.

He was now on the fourth level of the Trial Maze, which already placed considerable pressure on him. The difficulty on the next level would surely be even greater...

He shook his head, dispelled the thought, and realized that worrying about it now would only cause trouble for himself.

The first thing Li Zhirui did was to adjust his state!

He no longer thought about how quickly he could reach the ninth level of the Trial Maze, pass the final test, and obtain the treasure that even his Personal Space coveted.

Given the current situation, Li Zhirui might not even make it to that point.

So he had to be extremely cautious and careful. As for speed? Slower was better, as reaching steadily was the primary goal for now.

Li Zhirui began to observe the puppets and projections along the long corridor. Although they weren't distributed as distinctly as on the previous level, there wasn't much change, with the stronger forces still concentrated in the latter half.

Additionally, he found a loophole in the previous level, which might allow him to pass more smoothly.

"Come on!"

Li Zhirui shouted in a low voice, with his Life-bound Magic Treasure, Thousand Spirits, hovering overhead, and stepped onto the passage boldly.

Rumble——

Instantly, countless Spirit Lights bore down on him, but Li Zhirui, as if he hadn't seen them, remained unmoved and kept rushing forward like a meteor.

It wasn't until a Human Immortal puppet attacked that he reacted, engaging in combat and quickly eliminating it.

Puppets appeared formidable, but in reality, they had numerous flaws and vulnerabilities.

They couldn't really stand before a same-rank cultivator, and even a first-rank cultivator could take them down with some effort.

Li Zhirui's running speed was so fast that it looked like he was in a Flying Escape, and their attacks were easily dodged, unable even to touch him.

In the blink of an eye, he had sprinted dozens of miles, leaving a large number of puppets and projections far behind.

Wherever he passed along the corridor, they stood still, motionless.

This was exactly the issue Li Zhirui discovered during the previous trial!

Every puppet and projection seemed restricted to a specific area and couldn't take a step outside.

In this way, as long as he was fast enough, he could bypass a long stretch of the corridor, saving time and reducing Mana consumption.

However, this advantage didn't last indefinitely, as many puppets and projections blocked the way ahead!

With a clang, the rapidly advancing Li Zhirui suddenly stopped because, in front of him, loomed a massive iron wall and copper mountain.

On the mountain stood numerous puppets and projection cultivators, each possessing at least Individual Immortal Realm cultivation, jointly launching an attack.

"Their Spiritual Intelligence seems to have grown?!"

A hint of doubt flashed in Li Zhirui's mind, but with the threat at hand, he didn't have time to think more, rapidly forming Taoist Techniques with his flying hands.

Soon, a blue and green Spirit Light appeared in mid-air, then transformed into a continuous shower of pear blossoms in the storm, attacking them relentlessly.

Even though the strength of puppets and projections didn't match ordinary cultivators, their numbers adequately compensated for this shortcoming, so there were no significant losses.

What they didn't know was that this was merely the prelude to Li Zhirui's subsequent Divine Powers; even if blocked, it didn't matter.

He changed the Taoist Technique in his hand, and those blocked Spirit Lights transformed differently: the blue light turned into surging seawater, the green light became giant trees, expanding crazily on the iron wall and copper mountain, driving them away.

It was precisely because of the cycle where metal generates water and water grows wood that this Divine Power reduced his spell pressure, allowing him to absorb the mountain's strength to augment himself.

Rumble——

The seawater boiled, and two black dragons flew out; the giant trees uprooted themselves, turning into towering tree men dozens of meters high, attacking those puppets and projections wildly.

Looking at the difference between the two sides, it was nothing short of a complete crush!

In an instant, the scene was marked by devastation, turning into a large number of Spirit Lights disappearing without a trace.

The obstructing copper mountain was also completely exhausted, proving the powerful might of the Divine Powers Li Zhirui had just unleashed.

Yet, this didn't mark the end of this long passage, as he had only reached half way, and the fourth level's trial was far from over.

However, carrying the momentum of his recent great victory, with black dragons circling behind him and a multitude of tree men at his flanks, his adversaries were no match and were easily overpowered and defeated.

It seemed very simple and easy, but the cost was the rapid depletion of Mana, and by the time he disposed of the last puppet blocking the gate, he had replenished his Mana twice!

Opening the door leading to the next level, a projection appeared and said, "Trialist: Ten thousand and fifty, passed the fourth level trial!"

"Please choose your reward."

As with the previous rewards, a variety of Human Immortal Rank Spiritual Objects were available for Li Zhirui to choose one from.

He originally intended to continue choosing Spirit Seeds, but to his surprise, he discovered another treasure and decisively took it.

It was a small piece of Five-Colored Divine Stone!

This was an exceptionally precious Five Elements Spiritual Object, capable of stirring up a great commotion, yet in Li Zhirui's hands, it could only serve as nourishment for the growth of his Minor Thousand World.

"Would you like to continue the trial?" the projection immediately asked.

"Yes," Li Zhirui replied, murmuring to himself, "I wonder what the trial for the fifth level is?"
