Li Zhirui didn't leave immediately for two reasons: firstly, sharing authority had exhausted him greatly, and he needed time to recover; secondly, such a large relic had vanished into thin air, which must have attracted many cultivators outside, and it was not the right time to show up.
So he stayed in the ruins for over a month, only reappearing in the Primal Spirit Realm after the turmoil had subsided.
In the next instant, Li Zhirui hid himself within the vegetation, carefully moving to the side while concealing his aura.
He had seen a cultivator flying around mid-air with a Magic Artifact, seemingly searching for something, so he decided it'd be safer to hide and scout the surroundings without drawing attention.
When Li Zhirui moved about a hundred miles out, he was shocked to find numerous cultivators camped in the area.
