In fact, Li Zhirui still doesn't understand why one has to be six years old before the Spiritual Root in their body appears. Even if it's just a day, two hours, fifteen minutes later, the Spiritual Root won't appear!
He can only understand this as the most fundamental rule inscribed in the Universe.
Therefore, it's not that he doesn't want to do it, it's that he himself can't achieve it.
"Rest assured, I've decided to open the Mountain Gate here, and I definitely won't leave. By this time next year, I will bring the disciples here again."
Of course, it's only because the Tongtian Sect has just been rebuilt that some matters still require him to personally step in. Once the disciples grow, Li Zhirui won't have to work so hard, but will instead leave some trivial matters for the disciples to handle.
