Chapter 531: The Purple Mansion is Formed

"Master, are you leaving the city?"

Yuan An blinked his eyes.

"Yes."

Li Rui nodded, showing rare hesitation: "At the shortest a few days, at the longest a few months. I have already reported to Grand Secretary Zhang. You and Senior Brother Liu stay well in the capital; if there is anything you cannot handle, you can go find Supervisor Gu."

"Alright."

Yuan An said with a smile.

Although he was curious in his heart why his master wanted to leave the city, he did not pursue the question.

After explaining everything.

Li Rui only then left the city.

He cast out a flying boat, crossing ten thousand miles, and arrived in the depths of the East Sea in just one day.

It was sparsely populated here.

And because it was too vast, even sea monsters were rarely seen.

A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Li Rui's mouth.

Not bad.

This was precisely the dojo he had chosen to open the Purple Mansion.

Sitting cross-legged, his whole body hovered above the ten thousand acres of waves.

The next instant.

The aura of the Great Dao appeared around his body, and the Dao Fetus little person was already wrapped in the Qingxuan Great Dao and the power of the Immortal Dao; his whole person resembled an immortal or a god, even more like a true immortal than that banished immortal.

At this moment.

The rolling waves were suppressed, actually appearing incomparably docile.

"Open."

Li Rui spat out a word slowly.

As soon as the words fell.

The Dao Fetus little person suddenly opened its eyes, emitting a thick life force.

This step was precisely to reshape the dantian to open the Purple Mansion; more importantly, it was the realization of the Great Dao. If the accumulated spiritual power and Dao rhyme were insufficient, it could even lead to a halfway failure, causing the dantian to be destroyed, but the Purple Mansion could not be opened.

Countless cultivators had died with regret at this step.

Of course, Li Rui, by comparison, had almost no risk to speak of.

Just because his dantian already had the prototype of a Purple Mansion.

Calling it opening was not as appropriate as calling it sweeping.

No longer holding back.

The might of the two Great Daos appeared, constantly nourishing the Immortal Court.

The next instant.

A sound of shattering came from Li Rui's dantian, bursting out with dots of light, and the Immortal Court inside seemed to be alive, contracting with a very regular rhythm like breathing, and then... expanding!

The Immortal Court, which was originally only the size of a palm in the dantian, suddenly became larger, and in an instant, it was three zhang.

White mist suddenly arose on it, and cyan lotuses bloomed.

This was precisely the omen of "Spiritual roots support white jade, true qi gives birth to the Purple Mansion"!

The Immortal Court expanded crazily.

Li Rui's body made a *crackling* sound like frying beans, forcibly raising a breath of true qi.

The Evergreen Longevity Technique operated.

A red dragon rushed up from his temple, and brilliant golden light appeared around his body, actually surpassing the scorching sun in the sky!

Finally...

A thunderous explosion occurred inside his skull, followed by a burst of clarity.

Suddenly hearing the sound of the Dao.

"The gate of the mysterious female, this is the root of heaven and earth!"

Looking inside himself.

He saw that the Immortal Court at this time was still a magnificent scene, actually reaching a full thirty zhang in size, and even after opening the Purple Mansion, there was still no sign of stopping, still growing.

The edge of the Immortal Court was constantly shattering, repairing, and circulating endlessly.

"It is immortal qi!"

Li Rui saw cyan qi lingering at the edge of the Immortal Court, repairing the Purple Mansion with infinite vitality.

It was precisely the immortal qi he had raised!

His pupils suddenly brightened.

*'It truly has infinite wonderful uses.'*

Originally, with his foundation, thirty zhang was already the limit, but now because of the immortal qi, there were infinite possibilities.

In the future, expanding to a hundred zhang... a thousand zhang was not impossible!

*'No wonder Bai Bai Yu Jing attaches such importance to this immortal fruit, not hesitating to send people to the lower realm to hunt and kill.'*

Li Rui stood up slowly.

The little old man, the artifact spirit, had once said that when Dao Lord Master Wanshou opened the Purple Mansion, it was only ten zhang, and he now had a full thirty zhang, and it was still growing!

Of course.

According to what the little old man, the artifact spirit, said, Dao Lord Master Wanshou was not very stunning when he was in the Purple Mansion Realm.

He relied on the special Great Dao to live until he became a Dao Lord.

But conversely.

Among those who can achieve the position of Dao Lord, how many are ordinary people?

Li Rui's achievement in the Purple Mansion Realm now could already stand side-by-side with a Dao Lord, which could be said to be extremely extraordinary.

Compared to the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm of the small grotto-heaven, it was leading by an unknown amount.

And what was even more special was that when others first opened the Purple Mansion, it was just an empty cave dwelling, but his was different; it was already an Immortal Court scene.

This kind of momentum, I am afraid that even if a Dao Lord saw it, he would be shocked.

All of this.

Was inseparable from the immortal qi, Immortal Court, and Immortal Dao gestated in his body.

Precisely because of this.

It could not be known by others even more.

Opening the Purple Mansion.

Li Rui raised his hand, and the spiritual qi seemed to condense into substance, and there were cyan lotuses of the Qingxuan Great Dao appearing, blooming with infinite vitality.

His strength soared again.

A curve appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After decades of hard practice, he had finally opened the Purple Mansion.

There is a saying in the immortal cultivation world: "Only after opening the gate of the Purple Mansion can one be considered one of our kind."

This means that only after opening the Purple Mansion can one be considered to have truly stepped onto the path of seeking immortality; anything below that is just an ordinary person.

Now, he had finally reached this step.

Li Rui closed his eyes to feel it carefully, and then the smile on his face grew more.

Perhaps because he practiced the Evergreen Longevity Technique, and coupled with the stability of the Purple Mansion, his lifespan directly reached a terrifying nine *jiazi* (540 years).

Directly breaking his former lifespan limit.

Longevity was what he sought.

A lifespan of nine *jiazi* was something extremely enviable even in the immortal cultivation world.

Li Rui cast out the flying boat.

Then it transformed into a divine rainbow and disappeared into the horizon.

At the other end.

Capital, Imperial City, Imperial Observatory.

"Hmm?"

Gu Gu Changsheng, who was napping in the room, slowly opened his eyes, a look of surprise flashing across them.

Just now.

The national fortune of Great Yu had actually increased!

This was no small matter.

Generally speaking, when this phenomenon occurs, there is only one situation, and that is someone breaking through a realm, and not just an ordinary person, at least it must be opening the Purple Mansion.

And what made him secretly shocked was.

That person's Purple Mansion seemed extremely unusual.

Opening the Purple Mansion and increasing qi luck was not something he had never encountered, but like the momentum before him, which was like ten Heavenly Phenomenon realms opening the Purple Mansion at the same time, he had never seen it before.

If it was done by one person.

Their Purple Mansion was likely the largest in the world!

Gu Gu Changsheng blinked his eyes.

He had some guesses in his heart.

There were only so many Second Ranks in the world, and there were not many who were people of the Yu Kingdom.

Just as Gu Gu Changsheng was thinking.

A young alchemist ran in with small steps, a look of anxiety on his face: "Supervisor, the Hun Tian Yi moved just now!"

The Hun Tian Yi was an object for monitoring the qi luck of the Yu Kingdom.

Clearly, the qi luck had changed.

This was a major event that could not be ignored.

The young alchemist of the Imperial Observatory was naturally anxious.

But he was anxious, while Gu Gu Changsheng before him did not care at all, just saying indifferently: "It was just me practicing cultivation just now and having a slip of qi, accidentally bumping into the Hun Tian Yi; it is nothing."

Hearing this.

The alchemist finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the Supervisor was a Land Immortal; how could he have a slip of qi while practicing?

He left, half-believing.

Gu Gu Changsheng, however, looked toward a direction with a smile.

That was precisely the location of Jishuitan.

He hooked the corner of his mouth slightly:

"Brother Li, you are making me increasingly unable to see through you."

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 532 =====

A young alchemist trotted in, a look of anxiety on his face: "Supervisor, the Armillary Sphere just moved abnormally!"

The Armillary Sphere is the object used to monitor the fortune of the Yu Kingdom.

Clearly, the fortune has changed.

This is a matter of great importance.

The young alchemist of the Astronomical Bureau is naturally anxious.

But while he is anxious, Gu Gu Changsheng before him is completely unconcerned, only speaking lightly: "It is just that I was practicing my cultivation and my Qi went astray, accidentally bumping into the Armillary Sphere. It is nothing."

Upon hearing this.

The alchemist finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the Supervisor is a terrestrial immortal, how could he have his Qi go astray while practicing?

He left, half-doubting.

Gu Gu Changsheng, however, smiled as he looked in one direction.

That is exactly the location of the Jishui Pool.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly:

"Brother Li, you are making me increasingly unable to see through you."
