Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 979: Chapter 958: Big Laughter_2

——

In a certain corner of the Earth Spirit Realm.

”The Lotus Seed Skill can indeed help to slow down the decay of the world, but its effect is not very significant, especially when that person said to scatter lotus seeds directly along with the Life Water. It’s not as simple as he claimed!” A Combined Body Cultivist frowned tightly, expressing dissatisfaction.

They had gathered a large number of fellow disciples and combined their efforts to use the Lotus Seed Skill, indeed attracting the attention of Heavenly Dao, but the efficiency was too slow!

It was nothing like the Land of Purification they had seen before, where Li Zhirui alone, within a mere year, had purified thousands of miles of heavens and earth!

”There must be some secret hidden in this!”

The leading Mahayana shook his head and said, ”It’s not his fault, it’s our problem.”

”How could that be!”

This statement caused much dissatisfaction among the Combined Body and Lianxu Cultivators, who argued, ”Master and great-grandmaster, we have so many people gathered here, are we still not comparable to that secretive person whose strength is inferior to ours?”

After receiving the bolstering of Heavenly Dao, feeling their own power had increased and making some deductions, they easily figured out Li Zhirui’s true level of cultivation.

”Have you not noticed that the rate at which we gather Life Water is too slow? The inability to rapidly expand the Land of Purification is precisely the problem!” The Mahayana, ignoring his excited disciples, calmly explained.

Without Life Water, they had no way to rapidly cleanse those dead and barren lands.

Although Bai Lian could grow in very harsh conditions, it either needed a clean water source or sufficient Spiritual Energy. Those dead and barren lands met neither requirement!

So when Li Zhirui initially shared the Methods with them, he emphasized the importance of Life Water.

But back then, they didn’t take his words to heart.

”But how can a mere Lianxu Cultivator manage to gather so much Life Water?”

Everyone was utterly perplexed.

And no matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn’t guess that Li Zhirui had a Magical Treasure, refined and blessed by Heavenly Dao, capable of gathering and absorbing the moisture in the air and producing Life Water on its own.

If this were a normal world, a Magical Treasure wouldn’t make much of a difference, but the Earth Spirit Realm was a world in decay, where the Laws were fractured and the Five Elements limited. As Li Zhirui used more vapor, naturally, there was less for others.

Moreover, no matter how advanced the cultivation of these foreign beings, how could they compare to a Heavenly Dao Magical Treasure?

”Master, let’s go find him and ask the reasons now, or even consider buying the Methods at a high price,” a Combined Body Cultivator suggested right away.

The Mahayana shook his head and said, ”We don’t know where that person is hiding now, let’s not waste time looking for him.”

”And if he wanted to talk, or planned to use this as leverage to exchange for Spiritual Objects, why would he have disappeared so cleanly? It’s clear the Methods he controls cannot be shared.”

”Let’s do our best.”

Unable to defy and finding his words reasonable, the people had to continue patiently, gathering Life Water and nurturing Bai Lian, doing their utmost to purify the world.

Meanwhile, in another corner, Li Zhirui, no longer as indifferent as before, became very active. Relying on the tremendous mana inside him, he summoned the Life Water Bag while continuously nurturing Bai Lian.

Through his relentless efforts, in just three months, a purified land even larger than before prominently emerged between heaven and earth.

However, at this point, the Earth Spirit Heaven Dao no longer provided him with more support; instead, it weakened because the already severely damaged Heavenly Dao, during the year and a half it had entered the Primal Spirit Realm, had also undergone Refining by the Primal Spirit Heavenly Tao, becoming even weaker!

And as time progressed, the Earth Spirit Heaven Dao would weaken further, slowly falling into slumber, and ultimately being completely refined.

”Alas!” thinking of the fate of the Earth Spirit Heaven Dao, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but sigh.

During this period, his contact with the Heavenly Dao was very frequent. Although it possessed not the slightest Spiritual Intelligence, the emotions of unwillingness, struggle, and the desire to survive, Li Zhirui could feel them all the time.

Not to mention the great benefits the Heavenly Dao had brought him—how could Li Zhirui not feel indebted and saddened for it?

But that was all!

Not to mention that Li Zhirui lacked the capability to save a decaying Middle Thousand World, even if he had the means, he wouldn’t.

They are not of our kind, their hearts are surely different; what more when he belongs to an otherworldly being?

Now the Earth Spirit Heaven Tao needs Li Zhirui, and once the Earth Spirit Realm is saved, it will probably take action against him right away.

So he simply sighed and continued to deploy the Methods, expanding the area of the Land of Purification.

Under the tireless efforts of Li Zhirui and the numerous cultivators of the Cave Abyss Sect, the moving speed of the Taixu Illusionary Realm sped up once again. If nothing unexpected happens, it would land in the Cave Abyss State from the sky in just two to three months.

And when the Primal Spirit Heavenly Tao completely refines the Earth Spirit Heaven Tao, the entire Cave Abyss State will experience a huge surge of Spiritual Energy, blessings from the Heavenly Dao, and various strange phenomena.

Thinking about the benefits the Cave Abyss Sect would soon gain, the faces of the few Immortals in the clouds could no longer suppress their smiles.

You should know, the Cave Abyss Sect has existed for tens of thousands of years, and the number of times it merged with the Taixu Illusionary Realm was only a handful, and those were all Minor Thousand Worlds!

This time it’s a Middle Thousand World!

It will surely bring immense benefits to the Cave Abyss Sect.

In contrast, the expressions on the few Sea Clan Immortals were gloomy and terrifying. If it weren’t that this was only a Middle Thousand World, unable to accommodate the Immortal Realm, they wished they could enter the fray themselves.

”Hmph! The outcome hasn’t been settled yet, don’t celebrate too early!”

But now, they could only say a few sarcastic remarks, as this group of Sea Clan neither had the strength to send more reinforcements nor could find any method to solve the situation.

”Ha ha ha ha ha, I think the situation is already very clear, why not arrange for the younger generations to evacuate as soon as possible?”

A seemingly vigorous young Immortal kindly reminded, ”Otherwise, once the Taixu Illusionary Realm falls into the Cave Abyss State, the collision of the two domains could shake out the beings of this realm, and if they encounter unforeseen circumstances, wouldn’t it ruin the fellowship between our two sides?”

What fellowship could there be between the Cave Abyss Sect and the Sea Clan? If forced to say, it would probably be that they wished the other would drop dead immediately—archenemies indeed.

His words were merely an attempt to see if it would get the Sea Clan to leave earlier, reducing the damage to the Taixu Illusionary Realm.

”Hmph! There’s no need for you to worry about this matter,” responded the Sea Clan Immortals unyieldingly.

However, privately, they arranged for some of the younger generation to enter the Taixu Illusionary Realm and notify everyone to leave as soon as possible.

Otherwise, just as he said: with the collision of the two worlds, leading to a large number of Sea Clan appearing on the Cave Abyss State, their fate could be well imagined!

Seeing their covert actions, the faces of the Immortals from the Cave Abyss Sect beamed even brighter.

Time flew swiftly, and it felt like only a moment had passed, and two months were gone.

The Sea Clan ultimately left the day before the Taixu Illusionary Realm completely entered the Cave Abyss State and sank into the seabed without looking back.

The Immortals from the Sea Clan clearly understood that the Cave Abyss Sect obtaining such a significant benefit this time, once they had digested these rich fruits, their power would greatly increase.

And by then, it would be their time to advance toward the East Sea!

If it weren’t for the strange avoidance of a major battle within the Taixu Illusionary Realm, perhaps the situation could have been different. After all, circumstances on the battlefield change in the blink of an eye, and no one can guarantee who the victor will be until the final result emerges.

But now it’s different!

The Cave Abyss Sect had already secured the Taixu Illusionary Realm; it’s a nailed fact that their strength will surge—it’s just a matter of how many years they’ll take to digest this boon.

Thus, they must now think of a way to deal with the greatly increased strength of the Cave Abyss Sect.

Boom boom boom—

One day, the massive Taixu Illusionary Realm finally sank completely into the Cave Abyss State, though part of it exceeded the boundaries of the Cave Abyss State, and thus, the adjacent State Domains, without doing anything, received an enormous surprise!

”Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Accompanied by the thunderous roars, were the boisterous laughs of tens of thousands of cultivators from the Cave Abyss Sect.

The laughter was unrestrained and lingered long.
