Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1901: Chapter 1419: Pending Restoration_2

The Heart Demon immediately noticed this phenomenon, its expression turning extremely grim. It never expected Bai Lian to have such an ability.

If it doesn’t find a way to solve this problem, all its efforts will ultimately become the nourishment for Bai Lian’s growth.

And it would be eradicated from the world for failing to devour Xiaoqing!

For a Heart Demon with life and consciousness, this was absolutely unacceptable!

So it would stop at nothing to resolve the issue with Xiaoqing.

Gazing at the Spiritual Soul slowly recovering within the cluster of white lotuses, the Heart Demon hesitated no more and unleashed all its power.

Seizing the moment, while he was not yet fully recovered and Bai Lian was just beginning to grow, it decided to strike first, to nip the threat in the bud and resolve it!

Rumble——

The originally dark and tranquil Sea of Consciousness suddenly surged with huge waves, not just from one direction but from all around, crashing in.

Upon closer inspection, one would find that these waves were not seawater but a vast amount of malice and evil thoughts.

If one’s Dao Heart wasn’t steadfast enough, just a glance could deliver an enormous mental shock.

The massive waves crashed upon that small lotus pond, as if the endless filthy water aimed to engulf the pond, including Xiaoqing sitting cross-legged within.

Meanwhile, Xiaoqing, under intense attack, felt like a lone skiff in a tempest, facing potential destruction at any moment.

Yet he felt no panic or fear, standing like a mountain, steady and unmoving, simultaneously suppressing the white lotuses below, preventing them from dispersing.

As waves mixed with negative emotions tried to swallow Xiaoqing, Bai Lian emitted a Purification Spiritual Light, appearing as thin as a cicada’s wings, yet incredibly resilient. The seawater couldn’t breach this layer of light.

No matter the Heart Demon’s countless tricks, they were to no avail!

As time passed, the sea began to recede, and Bai Lian, bathed in the seawater, began to thrive and expand rapidly after absorbing a large amount of malice and evil thoughts.

”Impossible! Your Spiritual Soul was clearly severely injured and no match for me, so how are you unscathed now!” the Heart Demon shouted in shock, anger, and collapse, unable to accept the situation.

Because it knew it had lost! Despite having a huge advantage from the start, it had lost to Xiaoqing, who was in dire straits.

It couldn’t comprehend why it had lost.

But now was no time to ponder these things; the Purification Spiritual Light that Xiaoqing controlled was expanding toward its position.

”Even if I die, I won’t let you have it easy!” A resolute, crazed voice erupted from the Heart Demon’s mouth.

With a bang, the Heart Demon self-destructed at the last moment!

An overwhelming, dense fog of pollution spread rapidly across the Sea of Consciousness, covering it within seconds, as countless evil thoughts and malice relentlessly corroded and polluted it.

From the outside, even Xiaoqing’s body emitted black mist, causing the entire Cave Mansion to be shrouded, though not as densely.

...

”Survived!”

After an indeterminate amount of time, Xiaoqing slowly opened his eyes, looking like someone who had barely escaped death, feeling a sense of lucky survival.

The Heart Demon had self-destructed to bring him down, not expecting Xiaoqing to not only survive but to greatly improve in Dao Heart, willpower, and Mental State through this Heart Demon test.

For him, it was an extraordinary counterattack from the brink!

However, the Heart Demon’s self-explosion did leave Xiaoqing with considerable trouble and damage, with a large amount of foul Demonic Qi lingering in his Sea of Consciousness, constantly eroding it.

Simultaneously, his body was polluted and needed a solution.

Otherwise, not to mention reaching Heavenly Immortal, his lifespan would be greatly shortened.

”But at least I’ve survived...”

Through this true life-and-death trial, Xiaoqing had become much steadier.

Knock knock knock——

Suddenly, a crisp knocking sound was heard.

Opening the courtyard door, Xiaoqing was surprised to see Li Zhirui!

”Jiu, why are you here?”

Speaking the question, he immediately recalled.

Li Zhirui must have known about the Heart Demon within him, so he left the lotus seeds to ensure his survival after failure.

Yet, things had changed during the process: Xiaoqing not only survived but even reaped unexpected benefits.

Li Zhirui was slightly taken aback to see the vibrant Xiaoqing; he had clearly sensed the activation of the lotus seeds earlier.

Although abrupt, in Xiaoqing’s then condition, he was virtually no match for the Heart Demon. Li Zhirui came to see Xiaoqing’s status.

He initially thought Xiaoqing’s condition was dire, possibly needing care, but was surprised at how well he seemed.

This also sparked Li Zhirui’s interest in researching how Xiaoqing survived.

”Xiaoqing, can you tell me what happened between you and the Heart Demon?”

”Sure...”

As Xiaoqing spoke, Li Zhirui listened intently.

Soon, the account was finished.

”To find a way out of what was clearly a dead-end, that’s impressive indeed!” Li Zhirui sincerely praised, ”Remarkable! Truly remarkable!”

At that moment, he realized he had underestimated Xiaoqing, never considering he possessed such impressive abilities.

...

Two flowers bloom, each expressing its own branch.
