Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1828: Chapter 1383: Earth Element

As soon as Li Zhirui entered the Primal Spirit Realm, he couldn’t help frowning and muttered to himself, ”Logically, the spiritual energy in the Primal Spirit Realm should be becoming denser, but compared to over a thousand years ago, why has it not increased but decreased? And moreover...”

”Why is there a faint polluted air lingering between heaven and earth?”

This is too strange!

To figure out what’s going on, he immediately sped up and flew towards Mount Wanxian.

Throughout his rapid journey, Li Zhirui’s brows never relaxed. He initially thought that the situation was just an exception, but now he realized that the polluted air was widespread throughout the entire Primal Spirit Realm!

So as soon as he returned to Mount Wanxian, he directly found Li Liangxiang and asked, ”What happened in the Primal Spirit Realm during the years I was away? Why is there a faint polluted air lingering between heaven and earth?”

”Ancestor Rui!”

Li Liangxiang immediately stood up to pay his respects, and then answered his question, ”A few years ago, the Demonic Tao used a secret technique on the East Continent, Western Sea, and Southern Domain that could quickly pollute the Spirit Veins and the world, but it has already been resolved by Sheng Ancestor and Shuo Ancestor.”

”Could there be some lingering dangers?”

If Li Zhirui hadn’t brought it up, he would have thought that this matter was already past, after all, in everyone’s eyes, the issue had been properly resolved.

But now it seems, it might not be so simple?

Li Liangxiang felt uneasy, worried that this matter would stir up trouble again, and moreover, it was the Li family who first discovered it, pushing the family into the spotlight.

”I can’t determine exactly what’s going on now, let me go and check the situation first.”

Before he finished speaking, he disappeared from the great hall.

”Sigh!”

Seeing this, Li Liangxiang sighed helplessly, whatever the matter, they could only wait for him to return to discuss it.

After leaving the family hall, Li Zhirui first headed to the Spirit Vein in Mount Wanxian.

”Ancestor Rui!”

But before he could do anything, Li Mingyao appeared beside him, excitedly saying, ”You’ve returned?”

”Yes.”

To this, he just lightly responded, then focused entirely on probing his Spiritual Soul into it, carefully examining the Spirit Vein’s condition.

After a while, Li Zhirui frowned and said, ”No anomalies?”

”Ancestor Rui, what happened?”

”I’ll tell you later. First, take me to see the Spirit Vein that was polluted by the Demon Cultivator.”

Li Mingyao didn’t know why but still followed the instructions, immediately using Divine Power, taking the two of them swiftly underground.

In less than half an hour, they appeared before a Spirit Vein.

Li Zhirui probed his Divine Sense into it, diligently searching every corner, but in the end, he still had a frown on his face.

”Go to the next Spirit Vein.”

”Yes!”

In the following few hours, they went to five or six Spirit Veins, but the results were all the same, they didn’t find any traces of pollution.

”Strange! If the pollution in the Spirit Veins has been completely cleaned, then what’s the matter with the faint polluted air between heaven and earth?”

Li Zhirui said to himself, immersed in thought, completely forgetting the presence of Li Mingyao, who, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but be startled.

Years have passed, could there still be follow-up issues?

”If it’s not caused by the Spirit Vein, then there’s only one possibility!” Li Zhirui seemed to have thought of something, his face instantly turning extremely grim.

Li Mingyao softly asked, ”Ancestor Rui, what problem have you discovered?”

”Let’s go back to the family, and I’ll say it together.”

Despite his intense curiosity, he could only obey orders, and he also informed Li Liangxiang in advance, asking him to invite several elders to avoid wasting too much time.

So when the two returned to Mount Wanxian’s family hall, Da Qing, Xiaoqing, and others arrived one after another shortly.

”Jiu/Ancestor Rui!”

Li Zhirui waved his hand, instructing everyone to sit down quickly, and said, ”This matter is still just my speculation and hasn’t been confirmed, so please don’t spread it outside.”

”Yes!”

Because not all the elders were called, there were few people present, and they were all trustworthy individuals.

”You may not have noticed, but in fact, there’s always a faint polluted air lingering between heaven and earth, which might not affect oneself at first, but over time, after absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy, there will be a substantial accumulation of polluted air within the body!”

Li Zhirui said sternly, ”This will not only make it more difficult to break through but also make one more susceptible to inner demons, falling into the Demonic Tao!”

After hearing this, everyone was shocked, didn’t this add another level of difficulty to their already challenging path of cultivation?

But in his view, these were not the most crucial or important issues, rather that the polluted air would affect the development of the entire world, increasing the burden on the Primal Spirit Realm.

Because there are solutions for the former, but there’s nothing one can do for the latter.

”What’s exactly going on? Didn’t Cheng Sheng and Cheng Shuo already clear the pollution from the Spirit Veins? Why is there still polluted air?” Xiaoqing immediately asked.

”Who said that polluted air can only be produced by the Spirit Vein?”

Li Zhirui asked, seeing everyone in a daze, shook his head, and said, ”The Earth Core and Earth Core are the main sources of spiritual energy.”

Upon hearing this, they realized that many people thought that spiritual energy came from the Spirit Veins, but this was not entirely correct.

Because no matter how high the grade of a Spirit Vein is, it is limited to one place, yet the vast, expansive Primal Spirit Realm generally has the presence of spiritual energy, though not every place has a Spirit Vein.
