However, Li Zhirui was very familiar with this place, and he perceived no danger, easily finding the Purification Principle he mastered and immediately immersed himself in contemplation.

Unlike the Purification Principle he had already grasped, the Laws of the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm leaned more towards removing unwanted or harmful impurities.

In other words, the Purification Principle was no longer just a support ability, but demonstrated a certain degree of offensiveness!

"Attack?"

Interest arose in Li Zhirui’s heart, as this was something he had always lacked.

Although his combat prowess was not weak, even deserving of the word formidable, that was due to Divine Powers and Spells.

Yet when others could use the Laws to enhance their strength, he could not, because the Purification Principle he mastered lacked this capability.

Li Zhirui had always been striving in this direction, as the higher the Realm, the more prominent the importance of Laws became, but he had yet to find a way.

Now, finally, he had the opportunity to fill this gap!

...

It was unclear how much time had passed, perhaps a moment, or several decades.

When Li Zhirui reopened his eyes and detached from the Sea of Laws, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Although the time spent comprehending the Laws was not long, he had found some clues, and as long as he continued in this direction, he would eventually master them fully one day.

By then, not only could he further perfect the Laws he mastered, but also enhance his strength.

And this was the greatest and most satisfying gain after coming to the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm!

"Perhaps it’s time to leave." A thought of departure suddenly arose in Li Zhirui’s heart.

Although his insight into the Purification Principle of the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm had just begun, at the very start, he had observed the entire Law hastily.

Therefore, he remembered the content of the Law in a broad sense, and next, he only needed to fill in the details gradually, perfecting it, without constant contemplation of the Laws.

Of course, if he were to deduce it himself, some deviations might inevitably occur during the process, but as long as he did not stray from the framework of the Purification Principle, it would not matter significantly.

Hence, Li Zhirui did not want to continue staying in the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm to avoid accruing too many causal ties, making it difficult to extricate himself later.

However, this was his personal thought, and it was uncertain what Fu Chengguang’s considerations were.

"Should I go and ask for his opinion?"

After some thought, Li Zhirui rose and left the Cave Mansion, leaving a Jade Slip in front of Fu Chengguang’s Cave Mansion, inviting him for a discussion after seclusion.

He originally thought it might take some time, but didn’t expect that after just a few hours, the Jade Slip was triggered.

Knock knock——

The door opened in response, and Fu Chengguang strode in, asking before sitting down, "What does Fellow Daoist wish to discuss?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"I plan to leave the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm. What are your thoughts, Fellow Daoist?"

"Hmm? Why would Fellow Daoist think of leaving when everything is fine?"

The great battle had long ended, the heavens and earth clear, and they were not at risk of exposure. It was an excellent time to comprehend the Laws and enhance themselves; why the hurry to leave?

"I have already gained very satisfying rewards during this retreat, and there is no need to continue staying in the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm. To avoid too many causal ties, it’s better to leave as soon as possible." Li Zhirui did not hide his thoughts and spoke truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Fu Chengguang frowned slightly. His considerations were quite normal, but he did not yet want to leave the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm so quickly.

The reason for their differing decisions was due to their different cultivation methods.

Li Zhirui specialized in the Purification Principle, but Fu Chengguang comprehended the Eight Diagrams Path formed by integrating multiple Laws, which had a more complex cultivation difficulty and required more time.

Furthermore, his cultivation of the Array Tao required mastering more Array Patterns, which could also be viewed as simplified Laws.

So, Fu Chengguang hoped inwardly that Li Zhirui could stay and accompany him, but rationally, he knew it wasn’t appropriate and would wear down their friendship.

After all, Li Zhirui had already stated that there was no significant need or gain by staying longer, and on the contrary, it would entangle more causal ties, harming rather than benefiting him.

"In that case, Fellow Daoist should leave the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm as soon as possible; I will stay for a while longer." Fu Chengguang ultimately chose to let go, not compelling the other to stay.

"As Fellow Daoist stays alone in the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm, be more cautious and prudent in your actions."

Li Zhirui let out a sigh of relief; he did not wish to argue over this matter with the other, and this result was optimal. He said, "I hope we can meet again in the Void Chaos in the future, reunited."

"By the time we meet again, let your cultivation not surpass mine by too much!" Having made the decision, he felt relieved and jokingly added.

"Hahaha, those words should have been mine to say."

In truth, they both knew clearly that unless some unforeseen event occurred, it was almost impossible for them to meet again in the Void.

"When do you plan to leave, Fellow Daoist?"

"There’s no better day than today."

After the light-hearted banter, it was finally time for the farewell.

"Leaving so soon?" Fu Chengguang seemed a bit surprised.

"Since the thought of leaving has arisen, there’s no need to linger."

"Indeed, then I wish Fellow Daoist a smooth journey, all paths broad and reaching the Dao Fruit reverently."
