Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1553: Chapter 1245: Resolution (2)

Li Zhirui didn’t interrupt, he simply silently cultivated more white lotuses.

Day by day passed, and finally, he accumulated hundreds of thousands of lotus seeds, barely able to recreate the grand spectacle like last time!

For this, he began to store energy, adjusting himself to the most perfect state in order to face the next round of challenges and tests.

Hoo—

When that day truly came, Li Zhirui appeared very calm on the surface, but internally he was worried because this time it concerned whether the rift could be repaired.

If he failed, all the preparations he made before would be in vain!

All those precious purifying spiritual objects and his arduous efforts would turn to ashes with failure.

“Let’s start!”

Li Zhirui stood at the edge of the rift. After calming his mind, he decisively took action.

In the sky, a little white light appeared, beginning to gather towards him, quickly forming a white ribbon, surrounded by countless lotus seeds, encircling the formed lotus pool.

A vast number of complex spells were cast, turning abundant mana into mystical divine power that fell into the lotus seeds, accelerating their growth.

“Act now!”

Ao Hui and other great powers, who were ready for action, heard the signal and immediately crushed all the purifying spiritual objects, turning them into pure purification spiritual light.

The white lotus rapidly grew, expanded, forming a lotus sea suspended above the rift, absorbing the evil filth.

Those that couldn’t withstand it turned to ashes, those that could began further growth, conceiving lotus seeds.

The new batch of lotus seeds were placed in the purification spiritual light and then were accelerated again by divine power.

Continuously, when mana was about to run out, Immortal Pills were refined until Li Zhirui couldn’t sustain it anymore and stopped.

Actually, he could have stopped casting spells much earlier, but he wanted to see where his limit was, also as an insurance policy.

After all, if he couldn’t succeed this time, with the rift expanding again, he might really not be able to do it.

“It’s hard on you, young friend.” Ao Hui and other great powers saw all this. Even with their iron hearts, they couldn’t help but be slightly moved.

“Since I promised the seniors, I naturally have to exert my best effort.” Li Zhirui smiled slightly, then apologized and went into recovery with closed eyes.

In this process, he didn’t gain nothing.

For example, twice pushing himself to the limit, his mana became more pure, his realm also improved, not to mention he obtained a lotus seed of Loose Immortal Grade!

Indeed!

The lotus seed, which Li Zhirui didn’t have much hope for, surprisingly succeeded in ascending at the last moment.

Although it was just one, with this one he would never lack the Purifying White Lotus of Loose Immortal Grade in the future.

Ao Hui and the other great powers looking at the writhing purifying white lotuses above the rift were very happy, as the power of purification had completely suppressed the evil filth and continued to purify it.

In a short time, they could take action, using specially crafted spiritual soil to fill the rift and thoroughly solve the Sea Eye problem.

The rest of the matters had nothing to do with Li Zhirui; he just needed to watch from the side.

With the efforts of many great powers, the rift was quickly repaired.

Upon success, a golden light pillar suddenly descended from the sky they couldn’t see, separating into dozens of segments as it reached the bottom of the Sea Eye.

The largest segment landed on Li Zhirui, followed by those great powers.

Those purifying white lotuses were next, but totaling all the merit they received, it was second only to him.

Li Zhirui took action to collect all the white lotuses and replanted large numbers of lotus seeds in the repaired rift, but this time, he didn’t cast spells to accelerate growth, he let them grow slowly.

The purpose of doing this was to prevent the impact of evil filth before the new soil fully merged with the earth and avoid the appearance of another rift.

The great powers did not say anything about his act of collecting white lotuses; after all, they were his spiritual objects, and their grades were not high enough to contest with a young junior and benefactor of the Sea Clan over a mere trifle.

“Now that things are settled, I can finally go back.”

The group set out and flew upwards.

The journey was peaceful, and they safely returned to the dragon palace where Li Zhirui received a warm welcome from the Turtle Minister.

He was slightly curious and strange, as they hadn’t said anything yet, but Turtle Minister had already guessed the results.

However, he didn’t think much about it, assuming it was their expressions that gave it away.

“Young friend, you worked hard during this time. Why not rest for a while, and let me prepare a banquet to express our gratitude?”

“There’s no need for such a grand event, Turtle Minister.”

“Necessary, otherwise if word gets out, wouldn’t it say the Sea Clan doesn’t understand etiquette?”

Turtle Minister summoned a Water Devil to lead Li Zhirui.

With things being like this, he could only follow.

As for the dispersing evil filth from the Sea Eye, he didn’t need to take action, for it had already been solved during the purification at the bottom.

Actually, Li Zhirui realized that sending him away was not merely for preparing a banquet, but for discussing other more important matters, such as the ruthless measures of the Demonic Tao.

He didn’t want to leave mainly because he didn’t wish to stay in the dragon palace any longer and wanted to return to the family as soon as possible.

Since he was here, he accepted it, and obediently stayed in the guest room, waiting for them to conclude their discussion.

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui did not waste time. Instead, he crushed all the ordinary grade white lotuses collected from Sea Eye and integrated them into the only Loose Immortal Grade white lotus.

The purpose of this was to supplement the foundation of the white lotus, giving it a further opportunity to advance.

Yet after merging, a small unexpected change occurred!

The originally flawless purifying white lotus now had gold patterns distributed perfectly, making it appear more sacred.

This was due to the integration of all the merit gained by the white lotuses.

As Li Zhirui expected, the foundation of the white lotus indeed advanced, no longer as unstable as at the beginning.

Knock knock knock—

As soon as he finished this task, the door was knocked.

Li Zhirui followed the person back to the hall, where the Heavenly Immortals were no longer present, only Turtle Minister and a group of Earth Immortal Water Devils hosting the banquet.

The banquet progressed, drinks flowed and cups were exchanged.

Halfway through the banquet, Turtle Minister finally approached the main topic.

“Young friend, you have shown great kindness to the Sea Clan. After our discussion, we decided to allow you to enter the treasure vault and select three treasures!”

Turtle Minister smiled slyly and said, “Which treasures you pick depends entirely on your insight and luck, young friend.”

The treasure vault of the Sea Clan is immense, as it itself is a gigantic space artifact. Thus, during their travels, they throw all sorts of peculiar things they find inside, not knowing their exact use, but it doesn’t take up much space anyway.

“Alright.”

Li Zhirui considered both his luck and insight to be quite decent, hence he agreed readily.

However, upon entering the Sea Clan’s treasure vault, his previous psychological preparation collapsed in an instant!

Countless spiritual objects gathered together emitted such intense spirit light that it nearly blinded him.

“Truly worthy of being the wealthy Sea Clan of the Four Seas…” Li Zhirui couldn’t help but remark, then dove into treasure seeking.

The treasure vault was large, and the spiritual objects numerous, but everything was orderly, with different categories of spiritual objects placed in the same area, making it convenient for him to choose.

After noting the locations of the various spiritual objects, he headed straight for the Methods area.

For a cultivator, cultivation is foundational! Immortal Pills and spiritual objects are external.

Li Zhirui desired to find a method containing insights of Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal to guide his future cultivation direction.

He didn’t want to follow in the seniors’ footsteps, he knew it would not benefit him at all, but at least it could point the way, preventing wasted time.

Though he’s remarked many times, seeing the diverse jade slips, he couldn’t help but admire the profound heritage and grandeur again.

Li Zhirui found not just one, but several jade slips containing methods.

Taking action to retrieve those jade slips, despite only being able to read the introduction, he still selected the most suitable method from them.
