Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1551: Chapter 1244: The Black Hand (Part 2)

Therefore, he could only slowly cultivate and increase the number of lotus seeds.

”Ao Hui, what is he doing? We invited him to purify the evil filth, not to watch him plant these white lotuses.” A Heavenly Immortal nearby, seeing no progress, was growing impatient.

”Shut up! Be quiet, he is doing exactly that now, do not disturb him.” Ao Hui not only did not agree but even rebuked the Heavenly Immortal.

...

After several rounds, Li Zhirui had harvested millions of lotus seeds.

But the cost was that the Mana in his body, which had recovered twice, was exhausted again, and this time his Divine Sense had reached its limit. If he used it again, it would harm his Spiritual Soul.

So Li Zhirui decisively put away the lotus seeds and placed them into the River of Purification to nurture them, while he himself began to meditate and rejuvenate.

Ao Hui and the others were not fools, they naturally knew it was a critical moment, and no one stepped forward to disturb him, instead, they all guarded the surroundings, acting as protectors.

”Thank you all for protecting me.” When Li Zhirui opened his eyes, this was the scene he saw, and he quickly expressed his gratitude.

”It’s what we should do, you have been dedicated to our Sea Clan, and what we did is just a minor effort.”

Ao Hui sincerely showed concern: ”How are you feeling? Are you okay now?”

”I’m fine now, but I will need the help of you seniors next.”

After a pause, Li Zhirui said, ”Next, I need to stimulate these millions of lotus seeds, but due to my lower Realm and Cultivation, I cannot simultaneously manage both the Laws and Mana, so I need you seniors to help crush all the Purifying Spiritual Objects I brought, to supplement the Purification Principle.”

”No problem! Just remind us when you need it.”

”Thanks for the trouble.”

With that said, Li Zhirui took out three top-grade Immortal Pills and held them in his mouth. In the next instant, the Mana surged like a flood, enveloping all the lotus seeds.

Soon, the lotus seeds sprouted and grew rapidly.

”Now!”

The Heavenly Immortals, already prepared, used their immense Mana to crush tens of thousands of Purifying Spiritual Objects, including some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of Earth Immortal Rank.

In an instant, the Purification Principle filled every corner around Li Zhirui, and the white lotuses greedily and voraciously absorbed it, growing at a visible pace.

In less than an hour, before Li Zhirui stood a small mountain composed of countless Purifying White Lotuses.

However, this time, they no longer grew within the Purification Principle but floated above the rift, directly contacting the evil filth.

Sizzle—

A sound of water meeting fire arose, and many pure white lotuses turned gray upon being tainted and then turned to ash.

”Ahem, please, seniors, collect those ashes with a special Storage Magical Treasure so they do not fall into the rift.”

After speaking, Li Zhirui, whose face was terrifyingly pale, took out and consumed a Healing Elixir.

He had overestimated himself, thinking he could barely stimulate these millions of Purifying White Lotuses, but if he had not timely mobilized the Mana from the Minor Thousand World, he would have been sucked dry!

Naturally, Ao Hui and the others did not dare to neglect his words. Their eyes were fixed on the Purifying White Lotuses, ready to act with spells when signs of turning to ash appeared.

These white lotuses, like a small mountain, quickly diminished under the onslaught of evil filth.

But equally, the chance for a miracle to occur within countless white lotuses existed.

Soon enough, there appeared a white lotus, swaying under the assault of evil filth, seemingly about to wither but ultimately surviving!

What delighted Ao Hui and the others the most was this white lotus actually absorbing and refining the evil filth, using it as nourishment for growth!

When the small mountain of white lotuses disappeared, only three surviving Purifying White Lotuses remained, or rather, three evolved white lotuses.

”Didn’t expect to cultivate such white lotuses, it’s incredible, seems like there’s nothing to worry about with this rift.” The Water Demon Immortals present breathed a sigh of relief.

Having somewhat recovered, Li Zhirui happened to hear this and couldn’t help but shake his head, saying, ”Not so simple.”

”The mutated white lotuses do not mean their lotus seeds are the same, they may be like ordinary white lotuses, so don’t hold too high expectations.”

Of course, they will definitely have a deeper effect, with stronger resistance to evil filth, and if cultivated over generations, surely there will be those like the three white lotuses.

As expected!

Next, most of the seeds from the three white lotuses turned to ash, with only a very small portion growing.

Even so, it excited Ao Hui and the other Sea Demon Great Abilities because it meant the dawn of hope!

The only issue is that it’s too slow!

And now Li Zhirui could not continue taking action, he needed to rest well for a few hours.

Elsewhere.

Dispatched back to the Dragon Palace to request more Spiritual Objects from the Turtle Minister, Gui He and Jin Kang, the two Great Abilities, unexpectedly encountered a black-clad ambush halfway, and it was even by three Heavenly Immortals!

”Judging by your looks, you should be Demon Cultivators!?” Gui He cautiously eyed the black-clad figures opposite, probing.

”No need to probe, today you must remain here!”

Without a word, the black-clad figures began to strike.

But both sides being Heavenly Immortals dared not recklessly fight within the Primal Spirit Realm, especially Gui He and Jin Kang, as this was inside the Sea Eye, if anything happened due to fighting, it would be disastrous.

However, the black-clad Demon Cultivators, relying on their numerical advantage, temporarily held the upper hand, driving the two Water Demons into a predicament.

Woooooooo—

Under siege, Gui He suddenly took out a horn, and soon a desolate, antiquated sound reverberated, spreading further and further.

”Hahahaha, is this acknowledging they’re not opponents, starting to perform premature funeral rites?” A Demon Cultivator burst into wild laughter.

Splash!

Soon, the noise of water currents clashing and bursting arose, as if the entire Sea Eye had become agitated.

The culprits causing this were countless sea monsters residing within the Sea Eye!

These sea monsters had no Spiritual Intelligence, but were controlled by the Sea Clan, and could be commanded for their use.

”Damn it!”

”How can you control these mindless beasts?!”

Hundreds of sea monsters arrived, instantaneously overturning the situation, with Gui He and Jin Kang regaining the upper hand.

After a bout of fierce killing and fighting, the Demon Cultivators realized they could not prevent the two from returning to the Dragon Palace, so they stopped entangling, lest they suffer losses.

”Good, good, good.”

Before leaving, one Demon Cultivator left a harsh remark, ”Next time, you won’t be so easily let off.”

”Humph!”

Gui He was disdainful, this time they were unprepared and constrained inside the Sea Eye, if it truly came to a deadly fight, who knows who’d be left standing in the end.

A few days later, Gui He and Jin Kang finally returned to the Dragon Palace.

”Why have you returned so quickly? Did something unexpected happen?” As soon as the Turtle Minister spoke, he guessed the crux of the issue.

”Yes, the rift has expanded several times, so the Spiritual Objects we brought before are insufficient. Ao Hui had us return to fetch more Spiritual Objects.”

After a pause, Jin Kang added: ”Additionally, on our way back, we encountered several ambushing Demon Cultivators! The rift matter might be related to them as well.”

”Demon Cultivators?” The Turtle Minister’s eyes gleamed coldly, pondering something.

Yet the most urgent matter now was the rift at the Sea Eye’s bottom, so he quickly regained focus, preparing a large number of Spiritual Objects for the two.

To ensure absolute safety, the team expanded from two Heavenly Immortals, Gui He and Jin Kang, to five!

In other words, just for this affair of repairing the rift, the Sea Clan dispatched nearly twenty Heavenly Immortals!

Even without counting those Heavenly Immortals remaining out of sight, these twenty were enough to topple any top-tier grand force.

Once they departed, the Turtle Minister returned alone to the Dragon Palace, and if anyone were next to him, they’d know he was muttering about the Demonic Tao and Demon Cultivators!
