Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1274: Chapter 1106: Change

Li Zhirui inquired about their situation in the starry sky, wanting to know how they have been faring over the years.

But from the mouth of the Moon Serpent, he learned that they were doing extremely well, which made him shake his head. Where there are people, there is conflict, especially when one’s own power is not strong enough yet occupies a position coveted by others; even hiding cannot avoid it.

It seems that Li Chengshuo had pre-emptively advised the Moon Serpent not to say much, to only report the good news and not the bad.

Therefore, Li Zhirui did not ask any more and let the Moon Serpent return to rest.

”The great calamity...”

Li Zhirui murmured: ”It’s because there is too much evil qi and catastrophic qi, which are impurities discharged from heaven and earth.”

”If we follow the concept in myths from the previous life, during a great calamity, all living beings are entangled with catastrophic qi, which includes karmic force, cause and effect, and so on.”

”Moreover, this great calamity of the Primal Spirit Realm is different. Heaven and earth aim to clear the accumulated filth of many years and also to upgrade the world for the future.”

”Does that mean that as long as enough living beings are killed and enough spiritual energy is returned to heaven and earth, can the catastrophic qi be reduced or even completely dissolved? Thus, evading the calamity?”

Li Zhirui did not know whether his speculation was true. Although he had also experimented using demon cultivators, he could not determine whether the catastrophic qi had decreased.

Because he could not see the presence of the catastrophic qi!

The catastrophic qi seemed to be everywhere, yet it had no visible form.

There is a solution, but it is extremely troublesome, requiring a lot of time, which is to deduce methods that can see the catastrophic qi by oneself!

In this matter, Li Zhirui did not have much confidence, as he could not determine how long it would take to succeed, but it would take at least several decades!

By the time he succeeded, even if the great calamity hadn’t ended, it would likely have reached its end. Besides, he did not have much time to focus and comprehend.

Fortunately, Li Zhirui thought of a simple method, and that was to kill enough living beings, to see if, at the moment the catastrophic qi is entirely dissolved, he would have any perception.

It seemed likely, as catastrophic qi is like a shackle, and when the shackle loosens, how could one be unaware?

However, he did not use himself for experiments, not because Li Zhirui was worried about damaging himself, but because his cultivation was too high. By then, even if he killed all the demon cultivators imprisoned by his family, it was impossible to dissolve his own catastrophic qi.

Li Zhirui also did not choose to use family members at the Qi Cultivation or Foundation Establishment level, as their cultivation was too low, and they were unlikely to grasp the mysterious perception.

After careful consideration, he chose Jiang Fengwu!

Her cultivation was just right, neither too low nor too high, and her perception was sharp. Apart from himself, she was the most likely to seize that fleeting opportunity.

With this realization, Li Zhirui immediately took action, heading straight to Jiang Fengwu’s Cave Mansion to invite her to hone her Spirit Realm.

”What is this for?” Jiang Fengwu asked, puzzled.

Li Zhirui explained his thoughts, saying: ”This matter should do you no harm, though I also cannot provide an exact answer regarding the specific outcome.”

”Then let’s give it a try.” Jiang Fengwu agreed without hesitation.

Li Zhirui did not say much more, simply bringing out the four Mahayana demon cultivators for her to kill one by one, using this method to determine the number.

The four demon cultivators looked at them in terror, wanting to beg for mercy, but found their mouths sealed, unable to speak.

As the blade rose and fell, a Mahayana demon cultivator perished!

His spiritual soul did not escape either.

”How do you feel?”

”No feeling.”

”Then continue.”

After a brief exchange, another life was extinguished.

”Hmm?”

Jiang Fengwu suddenly shivered, feeling inexplicably much lighter.

”Succeeded?!”

Jiang Fengwu pondered for a moment, shaking her head, saying: ”It seems there is still some residue, but not much. Killing a few more Integration demon cultivators should do.”

”Did two Mahayana not dissolve the catastrophic qi on you?” Li Zhirui frowned; this difficulty was too high.

”Can’t the Purification Principle you comprehend dissolve it?”

Li Zhirui shook his head, explaining: ”It seems the level of catastrophic qi is too high, and the Purification Principle I currently grasp cannot purify it.”

He had already experimented with this a long time ago, no matter how he mobilized the Power of Laws of the Purification Principle, even if it scrapped himself into glass, Jiang Fengwu had not experienced the situation she described just now.

Which makes sense; if catastrophic qi were so easily dissolved, why would all major powers pay so much attention to it?

”Let’s deal with the present matter first before discussing anything else.”

With this, Li Zhirui drew a few Integration demon cultivators from the Spirit Realm, letting Jiang Fengwu focus on her attempts.

Until the fifth demon cultivator was killed, that wondrous feeling surged once more.

”Considering Fengwu’s situation, to dissolve one’s own catastrophic qi, at least a dozen people of the same realm must be dealt with. Though the number at a higher rank is slightly less, the difficulty is much greater.”

Li Zhirui calculated this in his mind immediately, and after arriving at an estimate, sighed somewhat helplessly.

Not everyone possesses the ability to fight across realms or even slay enemies, and even among geniuses, only a very few can do it!

’It seems I won’t be able to escape this great calamity, nor can any living being.’

The entanglement of evil qi already subjects a living being to exceedingly adverse conditions, let alone the higher-level catastrophic qi!
