Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1556: Chapter 1247: Good and Evil

But the speed of developments surpassed their expectations!

What they thought was merely a small conflict, ended with the Sea Clan deploying an army of over one million Water Devils to invade the Western Sea after just a few days.

The Demon Tao, who had not taken the matter seriously, was caught off guard and suffered tremendous losses in terms of unknown numbers of killed Demon Cultivators, with the sea region being pushed back directly by one to two thousand miles!

It seemed like the Sea Clan’s actions in the past few days were all meant to confuse the Demon Tao, lulling them into complacency.

But that was not all.

The Sea Clan indeed intended to confuse the Demon Tao, but more importantly, they used these few days to cultivate the White Lotus Seeds they obtained from Li Zhirui.

Even though there wasn’t a single cultivator amongst the countless Immortal Realm Water Devils of the Sea Clan who practiced the Purification Principle, it didn’t matter, as the wealthy Sea Clan directly purchased a batch of Purifying Spiritual Objects as substitutes, and even specially trained a batch of Water Devils to learn the Lotus Seed Skill.

Therefore, in just a few days, the Purifying White Lotus rapidly expanded in a certain sea region of the Western Sea, directly absorbing the Demonic Qi that resided there, purifying the area to make it indistinguishable from the waters of the East Sea and the South Sea.

“It really works!”

“Truly worthy of the Turtle Minister, if it weren’t for his suggestion, we might not have had the chance to reclaim the Western Sea.”

“Indeed, those demonic brats have occupied the Western Sea for so many years, it’s finally time to reclaim it.”

The Water Devils nearby were extremely excited; although the Western Sea had already been usurped by the Demon Tao by the time they were born, the dream of unifying all the sea regions of the Primal Spirit Realm was something every Water Devil held dear.

Now the opportunity finally presented itself, how could they not be delighted, not excited?

Thus, upon seeing the feasibility of this method, the Sea Clan decisively deployed the army they had already summoned, launched a full-scale attack, and swiftly took the Western Sea in a decisive battle!

At this point, the Demon Power figures only began to respond, realizing that the Sea Clan was earnest in their determination to reclaim the Western Sea!

Having made no prior preparations, the Demon Cultivators were thrown into immense chaos in organizing an army, sorely lacking in various Spiritual Objects, subsequently suffering consecutive defeats against the Sea Clan, proving to be no match.

“The damnable Sea Clan, are they crazy? Is the barren, spirit-poor, and Demonic Qi-saturated Western Sea worth such a tremendous cost?”

After unknowingly receiving several bits of news about defeats, the major Demon Cultivators could no longer suppress themselves, personally coming to the front lines hoping to change the situation.

Did the Demon Tao value the Western Sea? They definitely did, as such a vast sea region represented ample luck, and despite its shortcomings, it could still produce some rare and precious Spiritual Objects.

Especially over the years, the nearshore areas had already been cultivated into a spiritual treasure land by the Blood Sea Demon Sect, a top power of the Demon Tao.

If the Sea Clan reclaimed the Western Sea, the Blood Sea Demon Sect would unquestionably face hard times, constantly having to guard against Sea Clan attacks.

Consequently, Demon Cultivators from the Blood Sea Demon Sect manifested the most resolute attitude against the Sea Clan, determined to drive them out of the Western Sea.

Knowing their disadvantage, they specially involved the entire Demon Tao, leveraging the help of other Demon Cultivators to resist the Sea Clan.

“Ancestor Master, the current situation is tremendously unfavorable for us, as the Sea Clan clearly planned this for a long time with full readiness, leaving us no match.” A somewhat panicked Earth Immortal Demon Practitioner said.

Anyone could see that at this rate, they would lose another huge sea region!

“Something’s not right! Too bizarre!”

The great Demon Cultivator finally noticed the issue, with a sullen face saying: “How has the Sea Clan managed to stay in the Demonic Qi-saturated Western Sea for so long without any effect?”

It’s known that apart from mortals and mundane objects, all cultivating beings are influenced by Demonic Qi.

Non-Demon Dao practitioners staying too long in a heavy Demonic Qi environment would experience mental restlessness and invasion by Demonic Qi.

Yet these Water Devils haven’t shown the slightest impact! It’s as if the Demonic Qi was ineffective on them.

“Go find out what’s going on here! This is the foundation of the Sea Clan’s daring to attack the Western Sea and attempt a reclamation! Without resolving this, even if we win this great battle, the Sea Clan will continue to harass intermittently.”

“Yes!”

The Demon Cultivators, receiving orders, quickly mobilized.

Not long after, they seemed to have found the reason.

Right behind the battlefield frontline, countless pure white lotuses were planted on the sea’s surface, causing the Demonic Qi in this sea region to become exceptionally thin as if it wouldn’t be long before it dissipated entirely.

They immediately reported this discovery back to those few Heavenly Immortals with great ability.

“So that’s it, the Sea Clan found a way to counter the Demonic Qi, that’s why they suddenly acted upon the Western Sea trying to take it back.”

“When did the Sea Clan gain such capability? I reckon it’s the Immortal Tao stirring things from behind, perhaps teaching them the method.”

“Surely so! Years ago, the Lotus Seed Skill was spread by the Immortal Tao, but only a few could comprehend the Purification Principle, combined with the skyrocketing prices of Purifying Spiritual Objects, causing this method to fall out of public favor, gradually forgotten by the world.”

“Those hypocrites, always calculating behind the scenes.”

The disappearance of the Lotus Seed Skill from public sight not only entailed the Demon Tao’s hand but also the great powers of the Immortal Tao.

The Demon Tao naturally wished not to see a Secret Technique countering many of their Divine Ability Spells being massively propagated; meanwhile, the Immortal Tao saw tremendous power in the Lotus Seed Skill during contests for control over the Taixu Illusionary Realm, opting to preserve it for themselves.
