Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 975: Chapter 956: Enhancement_2

Because he was already at the end of his rope, he could not afford any delay, relying entirely on secret techniques and the vitality of ancient trees to keep going.

——

”Why has this place recovered?”

The local cultivators were very curious, and without much exploration, they discovered the reason.

After all, the stream that emitted the aura of purification, along with the white lotuses covering the water’s surface, were too conspicuous to be ignored.

”There must be some treasure at the source of the stream! How else could a dead land be revived?” This was the thought of many cultivators.

And once greed surfaced, it became uncontrollable!

The Earth Spirit Realm, already in the midst of destruction, had long lost any so-called moral etiquette, with the cultivators now only focused on survival—desperate, at all costs, survival!

Thus, more and more cultivators willingly fell into becoming demon cultivators, as demon cultivation could leverage the current harsh environment to hasten their cultivation, offering a greater hope of escaping this realm.

When the cultivators realized there might be a treasure, they all traced the stream upward in search of its source, each wanting to monopolize the treasure.

Only those mere mortals and ordinary beasts, simply rejoiced at arriving in this Land of Purification, for they knew little and thought that by coming here, they could continue to live.

They didn’t know that for a world already crumbling under destruction, this small patch of purified land was barely a drop in the bucket, at most slightly postponing the day of doom.

Li Zhirui saw all the actions of these native cultivators and shook his head secretly, saying, ”The collapse of propriety and music!”

However, he didn’t act, as he didn’t want to waste time on this, so he merely cast an illusion technique, making them unable to find the valley’s existence.

But this didn’t make the cultivators give up; rather, it verified their suspicion that a treasure existed at the source of the stream, making them even more frenzied.

Blossoms bloom on both sides, each showing its branch.

Regarding the orders from a few immortals of the Primal Spirit Realm, aside from those Sea Clan still setting up the traction array, other Sea Clan began to recklessly destruct the universe.

After all, this wasn’t their native world, and even if karmic forces descended, once absorbed into the Primal Spirit Realm, everything would be negated.

And what the cultivators had to do was to stop the destruction by the Sea Clan!

To better achieve this, cultivators began killing the Sea Clan mercilessly, not giving them any chance to cause destruction.

But this inevitably led to intensifying conflicts between the two sides, sparking more frequent and more tragic battles.

”Kill!”

At a body of water, several seventh and sixth grade Sea Clan members were surrounded by a dozen combined body cultivators. Despite knowing they were no match, the Sea Clan did not surrender but instead launched an attack first.

”Are you in a rush to die?” one combined body cultivator scoffed disdainfully.

Acting upon it, their disdain for the Sea Clan was not visible; instead, each cultivator fought seriously, giving them no chance to survive.

Under the onslaught of the dozen combined body cultivators, these high-grade Sea Clan didn’t even last a quarter of an hour before turning into lifeless bodies.

On the other front, the situation was reversed, with the Sea Clan holding an absolute advantage and the cultivators standing no chance.

In a way, this battle was also a minor skirmish between Immortal Tao and the Sea Clan!

However, the battlefield was not in the Primal Spirit Realm but in the Taixu Illusionary Realm.

If Immortal Tao achieved victory, they could tear a piece of the sea area from the northwest corner of East Sea and bring it under the control of Cave Abyss Sect.

If the Sea Clan were victorious, they could raise colossal waves, erode the land, submerge the coastlines, and expand the area of East Sea.

Because the struggle for the ownership of Taixu Illusionary Realm had initially mobilized millions of beings from both the Sea Clan and Cave Abyss Sect, the defeated side would inevitably suffer severe losses, leaving them unable to withstand the adversary’s assault.

But overall, this gamble was more disadvantageous for the Sea Clan, especially since the Taixu Illusionary Realm was moving toward Cave Abyss State!

If the Sea Clan also lost to the cultivators in the battle, not only would their losses be severe and many Sea Clan die, but they would also lose a large area of the sea, so the Sea Clan fought desperately.

But unfortunately, the environment of the Earth Spirit Realm was not suitable for the Sea Clan.

Though high-rank Sea Clan members could completely detach from aquatic environments, their spells became more powerful in water.

Furthermore, water bodies in the Earth Spirit Realm were scarce, mostly polluted, and even dried up nowadays.

Even the moisture in the air, because of Li Zhirui’s doing, had become extremely thin, making it very difficult for the Sea Clan to gather moisture from the surroundings.

In contrast, cultivators didn’t have these troubles as they were proficient in various other attribute spells besides water-based spells.

Thus far in the battle, the Sea Clan was at a disadvantage, with the cultivators having the upper hand.

This situation greatly infuriated the few Sea Clan Immortals of the Primal Spirit Realm. They hadn’t yet found the cause impacting the movement of the Taixu Illusionary Realm and were also at a disadvantage in battle with the cultivators, truly having nothing go smoothly.

”How can there be vitality in a place of death?”

As the area of the Land of Purification expanded, it eventually caught the eye of an immortal.

”Let me see what’s going on!”

Just as it continued casting spells and tried to investigate further, suddenly a dense fog appeared in its sight, blocking its vision.

It was another Immortal that had taken action!

”Star Firmament! What do you mean by this, trying to pick a fight?” the Sea Clan Immortal angrily demanded.

”Come on, do you think I’m afraid of you?” Star Firmament completely disregarded the other’s anger. In terms of true strength, the two were nearly equal.

”Hmph! I already know the location, what use is it to cover it up now?”

Immediately, it summoned ten Great Vehicle Sea Clan members, gave them precise coordinates, and upon entering the Taixu Illusionary Realm, they were to spare no means in killing that cultivator!

The reason they were Great Vehicle Realm and not Tribulation Transcending Realm, often called Demi Immortals and reserves of the Immortal Realm, was that they generally weren’t deployed in regular situations.

Meanwhile, the Cave Abyss Sect naturally had to respond and also sent ten Great Vehicle Cultivators in to protect the Loose Cultivator.

The reason they identified Li Zhirui as a Loose Cultivator was that, if he had been a disciple of the Cave Abyss Sect and discovered this secret, he wouldn’t have failed to report it after so much time!

As the Sea Clan and Cave Abyss Sect deployed the Great Vehicle Realm to either kill or protect Li Zhirui, he was also filled with intense anger due to an incident.

”Hmph! Such a detestable aura!”

Somehow, a group of Demon Cultivators suddenly appeared at the Land of Purification, all showing obvious disgust in their eyes.

As Demon Cultivators, especially those who used evil and destructive energies for cultivation, they inherently disliked the pure and clean aura of purification.

Thus, they immediately began causing extensive damage, killing living beings, destroying Bai Lian, and contaminating the water sources, almost reverting the outer boundaries of the Land of Purification back to a wasteland.

The actions of the Demon Cultivators brought Li Zhirui, who was deeply immersed in comprehending the Purification Principle, back to reality with soaring rage.

”You dare to ruin my Dao Fruit. You deserve death!”

This was Li Zhirui’s first time leaving the valley, surrounded by golden light and silhouetted against rolling clouds; he appeared like a majestic deity, whose every action conformed to the Heavenly Dao, making others unable to contest.

His furious shout resonated like rolling thunder, leaving the Demon Cultivators dizzy and disoriented. By the time they came to their senses, they found themselves bound by cloud ropes, dragged on the ground like dead dogs.

”Ah!”

Such humiliating treatment immediately caused all the Demon Cultivators to explode, continuously channeling their mana trying to break free from the cloud ropes, but unexpectedly, the ropes only tightened more, embedding into their flesh causing indescribable pain all over.

It should be noted, despite Li Zhirui not actively engaging during this time, the constant streams carrying numerous lotus seeds dispersing far and wide still brought him considerable blessings from the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, his strength was now comparable to that of a Great Vehicle Realm cultivator! Not to mention, ordinary Great Vehicle Cultivators were likely no match for him!

His mana was enormously vast, seeming limitless; even if he couldn’t win, the opponent couldn’t outlast Li Zhirui.
