Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire Once all the Elders had arrived, Li Zhirui spoke up, "Elder Shize, please explain in detail the matter of the relic to everyone." The Elders who were unaware of the situation looked slightly stunned. How did this meeting get related to a relic? "Shize, you have obtained news about the relic?" Li Shilian asked impatiently. Li Shize, seeing the excited expressions on everyone's faces, quickly explained, "This news is already known to everyone." "Yuanming Sect wanted to silence people and hide the news, but a certain Loose Cultivator guessed his fate and publicized the news before his death. Many Cultivators in the Marketplace could hear it." Li Zhirui frowned and asked, "Where is the relic located?" "That Cultivator said it's under the river to the south," Li Shize added. "When I left the Marketplace, a large number of Loose Cultivators were already rushing towards the river. It's possible that some have already infiltrated the relic." "Then what are we waiting for? We should send people to explore the relic now. If we go too late, all the good stuff will be gone," urged an impulsive Elder. Li Zhirui shook his head with a grave expression, "Now that this issue is common knowledge, the nearby Golden Core powers must be flying towards the relic. If we get involved, I'm afraid..." Moreover, Yuanming Sect, being ahead of all other forces, may have already reached the relic and could be exploring it by now. Even if they went now, they might not get any worthwhile loot. It was not that Li Zhirui was cowardly, but as the Clan Leader, even if only an Acting Clan Leader, he had to be responsible for the entire family. If he were alone, training outside and heard news of a relic's emergence, Li Zhirui would definitely not miss the opportunity.@@@@ This was also why Li Zhirui was reluctant to become the Clan Leader. Once he became the Leader, he would have to prioritize the collective interests of the family over his personal interests and consider the family first in all decisions. Li Zhirui was willing to contribute to the development of the family and offer his own strength, but not always put the family first in everything. "We could send someone to survey the relic first, and if there's a chance, then we can enter and explore, looking for opportunities," Li Shilian, understanding Li Zhirui's concerns, suggested. Not wanting to give up on such a big opportunity that had presented itself before them, he felt really unwilling to let it go. Li Shiren and Li Shiting also nodded in agreement, saying, "Exactly, we can observe the situation on the periphery for now and decide later whether to explore the relic." Li Zhirui hurried forward and leaped onto the Spirit Boat. "Remember, don't be greedy, caution is paramount, safety is the most important!" Li Shilian couldn't help but speak up again to remind them from the ground. "We know, Uncle Shilian, you just rest easy, we will all come back safely! Let's go!" Li Shiren hadn't finished speaking when he activated the Spirit Boat, and the last two words were carried to everyone's ears by the wind. Li Shilian stood in place for a long time without leaving, finally, at the persuasion of Li Shile, he turned back to the clan land. Before long, a faint yellow Spirit Light shone in the sky above the clan land; this was the sign of the Clan Protection Array being activated. At the same time, the other three Spirit Veins on Da Rong Island also activated their Defensive Arrays. —— Li Shiren increased the speed of the Spirit Boat to the fastest, and they arrived at the relic within just half an hour for a journey of several hundred miles. "Over there!" Li Zhirui and the others were among the later arrivals, but this also had a benefit; there was no need to search for the relic's location, they simply headed towards the crowd. The three of them parked the Spirit Boat to the side, just in time to overhear a conversation among Loose Cultivators nearby discussing the relic. "You don't know, the defensive power of that relic is incredibly strong. Three Golden Core cultivators, several dozen Foundation Establishments, and hundreds of Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators attacked together for an entire hour and couldn't break the Formation." Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui gestured for Li Shiren and Li Shiting to not be in a hurry to leave but to listen to what these Loose Cultivators were saying. "Yes, many of us are here because we're low on Mana and had to return to the surface to recover," another person lamented. "There are still a large number of cultivators attacking it underwater." "What kind of Formation is this? Its defensive power is so astonishing!" a Loose Cultivator nearby asked in shock. "It seems to be called the Xu Earth something Great Array. This was mentioned by a third-order Array Master from Green Mountain State, but he had only heard of it and had never seen it before." "A Xu Earth Great Array that even a third-order Array Master can't break..." Li Shiren was deep in thought for a moment before whispering, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Xu Earth Qianyang Array. This is one of the strongest defenses among the fourth-order Formations!" "Fourth-order Formation?" Li Zhirui's heart stirred and asked, "Uncle Ren, Mrs. Ting, let's wait a bit longer before going into the water."
