Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1555: Chapter 1246: Conflict (Part 2)

”No problem.”

Li Zhirui naturally wouldn’t refuse, he didn’t know how many lotus seeds he had in his hand.

And to match the value of the Pill Scripture, he specially gave Turtle Minister two Loose Immortal Grade lotus seeds.

To know, he only had five altogether!

”Many thanks to the young friend for lending a helping hand this time, our Sea Clan will definitely not forget this favor.”

”Turtle Minister, you flatter me.”

Li Zhirui humbly exchanged a few words before taking his leave, transforming into a glimmer of light, disappearing into the boundless sea.

”With these Purification Lotus Seeds, I will make the Demonic Tao pay the price!”

The cold and ruthless words full of killing aura came from Turtle Minister, finally merging into the sea water, unheard by any other creatures.

...

On the way back to Mount Wanxian, Li Zhirui was extremely cautious, fearing that a Water Devil or others might be following, so he would often stop to investigate.

Fortunately, he was overthinking, as he didn’t encounter any danger along the way, not even a Water Devil, until he left the distant sea.

The reason for this was the Treasure Bead Turtle Minister had given him upon departure, allowing the Water Devils to sense a Great Ability of the Sea Clan from afar and thus keep their distance.

”Jiu/Brother Ancestor Rui!”

As soon as Li Zhirui landed on Wanling Island, Xiaoqing, Cang, and Li Yunzhuang appeared in front of him.

”You finally returned, we were shocked when we saw the Jade Slip you left upon being invited to the Sea Clan, and then you didn’t return for so long. We’ve been on edge, fearing you encountered some accident,” Xiaoqing couldn’t help but complain.

”Yes, Jiu, why did you go to the Sea Clan this time? Was the issue resolved?”

Li Zhirui briefly explained the experience.

”I didn’t expect the Purification Principle to be so useful.”

”The Sea Clan are definitely not ones to suffer in silence, being so plotted against by the Demonic Tao, nearly destroying their foundation, they will surely seek an opportunity for revenge.”

Xiaoqing and Cang always had different perspectives on the same issue, one thinking too little, the other too much.

”There’ll definitely be a conflict between the Sea Clan and Demonic Tao, whether it escalates to warfare depends on how ruthless the Sea Clan’s revenge tactics are,” Li Zhirui said.

Xiaoqing rolled their eyes, not wanting to discuss further, saying, ”What’s the point of thinking so much? It has nothing to do with us anyway.”

Indeed, the junction of the Sea Clan and Demonic Tao was located in the South and Western Seas, too far from the Li family.

To say, the Western Sea, although a sea domain, should belong to the Sea Clan, was actually controlled by the Demonic Tao!

Though the Western Sea was the smallest in area and had the weakest Spiritual Energy, it still seemed quite odd.

The reason was related to the cultivation characteristics of the Demonic Tao.

Though the Demonic Tao absorbed Spiritual Energy, they also mixed in Evil Qi, Yin Qi, with Demon Cultivators gathering, after some time, it could gradually alter the surrounding environment.

The Western Sea was thus polluted by Demon Cultivators, making the environment unsuitable for Sea Clan, forcing them to hand it over to the Demonic Tao.

Why would the Immortal Tao spend such a huge cost to set up a ten-thousand-mile-long wall behind the Immortal Demon Battlefield? Besides blocking Demon Cultivators, another important reason was to fend off Demonic Qi’s pollution!

In contrast, those fragile mortals lived quite well in the West Continent, which could be considered a special talent of the human race.

Speaking of which!

Li Zhirui couldn’t tell if it was his illusion, but he always felt a strong connection between the conflict of the two major camps, Demonic Tao and Sea Clan, and himself!

But this thought quickly faded, he was just a small Human Immortal, and the battlefield so far away, how could it be related to him?

Li Zhirui didn’t linger long on Wanling Island, soon leaving to fly back to Mount Wanxian, entering his Cave Mansion.

The first thing he did was inspect the condition of the Spiritual Root Lotus Seed.

The Spiritual Root could suppress luck, not to mention it matched his path of cultivation, which would benefit his future cultivation greatly.

The state of the lotus seed was gradually improving, originally having a tiny flicker of life like a candle in the wind, but now having recovered quite a bit after several days of nurturing in the space.

Based on the current trend, it could fully recover in about a month.

It was just unknown how long it would take for it to sprout roots and grow into a Spiritual Root.

Afterwards, Li Zhirui, carrying the five-colored Jade, entered the Minor Thousand World, came before Yuhong and curiously asked, ”Why did you let me choose this Jade? Is there something different about it compared to the other several five-colored Spiritual Objects?”

”Because the Jade contains a trace of Innate Five Elements Essence, it can almost be considered an embodiment of the Laws, why do you think you should choose it?”

Li Zhirui’s face showed a hint of surprise, he really hadn’t expected the Jade’s value to be higher than he had thought.

”You really have good luck, with this Jade, the Five Elements Laws within the Minor Thousand World instantly improved a lot.” Yuhong had to admire his luck.

”Thanks to you, otherwise I would have missed it.” Even seasoned Li Zhirui hadn’t recognized the Jade’s specialness.

”Of course, do you not know who I am?”

Li Zhirui wasn’t in a hurry to leave but started discussing the Tao with Yuhong.

Both were Human Immortals, though the former specialized in the Path of Purification, the latter pursued the quantity of Laws.

Although their pursuit of the Tao differed, the exchange was still beneficial to their own cultivation.

...

Several days later, Li Zhirui reappeared in the Cave Mansion.

This time, he took out the two Jade Slips he brought back from the Sea Clan, one containing Ming Guang’s views and insights on cultivation; the other containing the Pill Scripture.

After some thought, he first picked up the Pill Scripture, studying, absorbing the experiences of the Earth Immortal Alchemy Master, turning to the end to see the incomplete Earth Immortal Grade Pill Recipe Turtle Minister mentioned.

To be precise, the pill recipe was incomplete because it hadn’t been fully deduced before encountering an accident.

However, what pleased Li Zhirui was the Pill Scripture detailed the thought process and creation steps of the pill recipe, maybe someday he could recreate it.

With these gains settled, he specially went to burn incense and bathe, then, with excitement, read the content of the Jade Slip.

Soon, he was deeply immersed, comprehending the treasure left by the Heavenly Immortal.

Fortunately, Li Zhirui had some self-control, he restrained himself from looking at content concerning the Earth Immortal Realm, Heavenly Immortal Realm to avoid aiming too high and disrupting his mental state.

But even with the preliminary content, he could not learn much from them, deepening his understanding of cultivation.

With the Pill Scripture and Great Ability Jade Slip, he had no interest in idle wanderings, eager to comprehend these two Methods, elevate his realm and alchemy skills.

Each flower blooms separately.

At the distant junction of the South Sea and Western Sea.

A military force arranged by the Sea Clan was stationed here; their main task was to guard against the spread of Demonic Tao’s pollution and reduce the Sea Clan’s living space.

Yet they rarely engaged in major battles with Demon Cultivators.

It should be said that Sea Clan and Demonic Tao hadn’t had a fierce battle in many years.

Firstly, both sides had more important goals; secondly, the Western Sea was barren and poor, polluted by the Demonic Tao for so many years, unworthy of exhausting effort from the Sea Clan to reclaim.

But this time, the Sea Clan had resolved to recover the Western Sea from the hands of the Demonic Tao!

Because it was so sudden, the Demonic Tao hadn’t expected the Sea Clan to attack the Western Sea Magic Artifact, being driven back in retreat, conceding hundreds of miles of territory.

”Damn it! Has the Sea Clan gone crazy, attacking the Western Sea for no reason?!” a certain Demon Heavenly Immortal cursed.

As to the fact that they had originally plotted and harmed the Sea Clan, it had long been forgotten, Demon Cultivators only knew the Sea Clan was provoking them.

”A bunch of ignorant beasts dare to cause trouble on our Demonic Tao territory, they must be exterminated, just when I lack a batch of materials for cultivation, they can fill the gap perfectly.”

Actually, from the conversation of these Demon Great Powers, it’s not hard to see they didn’t regard the conflict seriously.

The Western Sea, polluted by Demonic Qi for countless years, had already become unsuitable for Sea Clan survival, what use was it to take back?
