"Although the Yuanming Sect will have rewards, offending a Golden Core power is something our family cannot afford!" Li Zhirui said without hesitation. The Li family is not a direct line of the Yuanming Sect; if they really face a threat from the Green Sword Sect, the Yuanming Sect may not come forward to protect the Li family. Or they might only protect in name without taking any actual action. "Zhirui is right," Li Shiren also agreed with the approach, "Moreover, the location of the Secret Realm is very close to Yunping State; maybe disciples of the Yuanming Sect have also found it. Even if it were reported to the Yuanming Sect, our family wouldn't stand to gain much." Li Shiqing nodded lightly, "Then let's put an end to this matter and make sure the clan members who saw it do not spread the word." Li Shiren stood up to warn the clanspeople who had just returned, and Li Zhirui followed and left as well. Li Shiqing had said all that needed to be said; whether Li Zhirui's Visualization Skill could progress further was up to him. —— Inside the great hall of the Yuanming Sect, the Elders, having listened to the strange phenomena described by the stationed disciples, instantly knew what it meant. "A Secret Realm!?" "The Green Sword Sect has actually discovered a Secret Realm!" The surprised voices of the Elders rang out in the hall, unconsciously tinged with a hint of envy. Because as long as it's a Secret Realm, no matter how low its rank, it's an enviable opportunity! "So that's it!" A trace of coldness appeared on the Sect Master's face at the head, no wonder the Marketplace was attacked out of nowhere—it turns out the Green Sword Sect had discovered a Secret Realm, and to prevent detection, they purposefully arranged such a big chess game. "Damn the Green Sword Sect!" The Sect Master slammed down in anger, shattering the wooden table beside him. The Elders in the hall instantly fell silent. Many Elders connected the Sect Master's words and quickly realized why he was so angry. But no matter how angry they were, they were helpless; without evidence, they could not go to Shen Leishan for judgment, nor could they retaliate. The Green Sword Sect also has a Marketplace in their territory, but it's not large, and it's right near their mountain gate. If anything happens, they could immediately suppress it with reinforcements. Apart from this, the Green Sword Sect also has several Spirit Mountains where they cultivate and breed some low-level Spiritual Objects, which are quite far from their mountain gate. But even if they acted to destroy these, the impact on the Green Sword Sect would not be very big. If they were caught red-handed, it might even be detrimental to the Yuanming Sect. "We'll remember this debt, and if the opportunity arises, the Green Sword Sect must pay the price!" the Sect Master said fiercely. Without hesitation, Da Qing used the Water Prison Skill. Several walls made of condensed seawater trapped the hard scale fish. Once the Water Prison Skill was in place, Li Zhirui's attack followed. Knowing the hard scale fish had strong defenses, Li Zhirui didn't use the Needle Rain Spell but instead took out the Pine Needles, aiming for its weaker spots. Under the clan members' astonished gazes, Li Zhirui and Da Qing worked together seamlessly to dispatch the hard scale fish with ease. The coordination between Li Zhirui and Da Qing caught many clan members' eyes. While they also used Spirit Beasts in battle, they lacked the clear division of labor and tacit understanding that the two displayed. Li Shilian, who was controlling the sea ship, had a trace of satisfaction in his eyes. The family had not yet had the chance to teach Li Zhirui how to cooperate with a Spirit Beast, but he had figured it out on his own, and was doing quite well. It's not that the family was unwilling to share the knowledge with the clan members, but rather that most of their Spirit Beasts were too low level to coordinate effectively even if they were informed. In subsequent trials, Li Zhirui was once again assigned a late-stage Qi Cultivation water devil. Due to its powerful attacks, it took quite an effort to kill it. Although there were not many chances for him to act during his outings, Li Zhirui frequently joined sea journeys, honing his skills through real combat. Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, several months had gone by. "Do you think Zhirui will break through successfully?" Li Shiren, who had just returned to Da Rong Island, had heard the news of Li Zhirui's seclusion and was somewhat concerned. Li Shiqing said with a calm face, "Don't worry. Zhirui will definitely succeed!" More than two years had passed since Li Zhirui's last breakthrough. His mana was already fully accumulated; how could he possibly fail? And indeed, just as Li Shiqing had said, Li Zhirui, who was in seclusion, encountered no obstacles during his breakthrough and easily became a ninth-layer Qi Cultivation cultivator. A few days later, after consolidating his realm, Li Zhirui was ready to report the good news to Li Shiqing and several other elders but didn't expect to come out and see Li Shiren pacing back and forth not far away. "Uncle Ren!" Seeing this, a warm current surged in Li Zhirui's heart, and he shouted, "I've successfully broken through!" "Hmm?" Li Shiren's focus snapped back, and, looking up, he saw a smiling Li Zhirui approaching him. With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he confirmed that—just as Li Zhirui had said—he was indeed at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation now. "Excellent, excellent, excellent!" Li Shiren was so excited that he seemed even more thrilled than if he had made the breakthrough himself." "Uncle Ren, let's go report the good news to the Clan Leader." "Yes, yes, yes, we should report the good news to the Clan Leader." Li Shiren nodded repeatedly and immediately grabbed Li Zhirui, rushing towards the main hall.
