Soon, the two arrived at the Guest Welcoming Hall.
Since Li Zhirui had not yet arrived, Li Mingyao and Li Liangxiang had to accompany Tubo, offering him so precious Spiritual Objects to taste, helping him pass the ti and preventing boredom.
About half an incense stick of ti passed, and Li Zhirui appeared, slightly apologetic, saying, "Sorry to keep you waiting."
His aura was still unstable, clearly having rushed over in haste.
"No worries, your dedication and diligence in spiritual cultivation is truly admirable," Tubo replied kindly, as he had a request and hadn’t waited long.
"If you have no other matters, why don’t you co with to pay respects to the Earth Elent Lady?"
"Very well, I appreciate your effort."
Li Zhirui did not switch to calling him "Fellow Daoist," as despite both being Heavenly Immortals, the gap in strength was unknown, and respect was still warranted.
"Let’s go then."
The two flew out of Mount Wanxian first, and then they heard Tubo say:
"Fellow Daoist, please do not resist."
No sooner had he spoken, he took Li Zhirui and instantaneously vanished.
With a shift in space, the surrounding aura beca cold, and he knew they had arrived at the Netherworld.
After another mont of traveling, the two arrived at the deepest part of the Underworld, in front of an ordinary courtyard.
Squeak—
Without a word, the courtyard owner could discern the external situation, opened the door, and invited, "Please, young friend, co in for a talk."
Li Zhirui, without hesitation, walked inside, bowing with respect, "Junior greets the Earth Elent Lady."
"No need for formalities."
As he was halfway, the Earth Elent Lady supported him, gently saying, "The sudden invitation for you to co is because your speculation has co true. The Earth Core is seriously polluted, threatening the Earth Core."
"Alas, I am not skilled in this Path and dare not act hastily, hence I sought your help."
As the strongest Earth God and Yin God, the Earth Elent Lady was versed in many Laws, including the Purification Principle.
However, she did not place much focus on it, so her mastery wasn’t high, making her reluctant to act rashly.
"Junior strength is limited and cannot guarantee resolving the Earth Core’s pollution," Li Zhirui cautiously stated beforehand.
Though confident in his own abilities, he had no prior experience with the Earth Core, so had little assurance.
Moreover, this was such a critical world core; without certainty, he dared not intervene lightly, fearing the imnse Karmic Force he might incur if he failed!
"Just do your best, young friend, and even if you can’t, it’s not your fault. I’ll personally bear the consequences," The Earth Elent Lady seed to see his inner worries, offering assurance.
Li Zhirui was deeply moved, unexpectedly finding this Great God to possess such responsibility!
For the world’s sake, willing to sacrifice personal interests.
Yet he remained calm, "I will do my utmost."
"Would you like to rest for a mont?" The Earth Elent Lady subtly shifted the topic without adding pressure.
"Thank you for your concern, Lady. I am well; let’s first see the Earth Core’s condition."
"Alright."
The Earth Elent Lady extended her jade hand, gently enveloping Li Zhirui in a force as heavy as the Earth, guiding him deeper into the Earth.
The surrounding environnt grew increasingly dim until no trace of light remained. But deeper down, fiery red glow from magma appeared alongside intense heat.
And then, there was eternal darkness and imnse pressure!
Were it not for the Earth Elent Lady sharing the burden and reducing the pressure, Li Zhirui’s flesh would have long since collapsed!
Darkness tends to make ti forgettable. After what seed a long while, they finally stopped.
In that instant, Li Zhirui felt his hairs stand on end, a great and fatal threat lurking around him, as if any wrong move would result in his annihilation!
"Relax, this is a Restriction set by the Heavenly Dao here. Although you’re not a Divine, you carry much rit, which will cause this force to dissipate soon."
Indeed, as the Earth Elent Lady spoke, the force disappeared shortly thereafter.
But Li Zhirui knew that it rely hid itself, ready to obliterate him at any malicious intent.
"Pray to the Heavenly Dao with , presenting our intentions this ti!"
The Earth Elent Lady took out several golden long incense sticks, giving him three, which he lit with Mana, praying reverently and solemnly.
Seeing this, he imdiately imitated her, fearing any neglect, as this concerned his very life!
Blue smoke rose slowly, and after the incense burned out, Li Zhirui imdiately felt the nearby rejection and suppression lessen considerably, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief, for this place’s pressure on him was imnse.
"The Earth Core and Earth Core are the foundation of a world, their importance beyond words. I hope you understand," the Earth Elent Lady’s gentle voice eased his inner concerns and unease.
"Junior understands."
"That’s good, let’s go in."
Overcoming multiple Restrictions, Li Zhirui finally saw the heavily guarded Earth Core—a seemingly plain, even overly ordinary, massive clod—leaving him sowhat disappointed.
But now wasn’t the ti to dwell; he focused, locating the polluted area within the Earth Core, attempting to use the Purification Principle to resolve it.
With the Earth Elent Lady’s guidance, he quickly spotted the first polluted area, gathering Purification Principle power in his palm, a brilliant white light appearing, slowly guiding it in to cleanse it.
Unexpectedly, it t with a swift counterattack from the pollution!
The faint black line of contamination, like a serpent lurking in the shadows, only struck when Purification Spirit Light approached, biting viciously, trying to taint the Spirit Light.
Seeing this, Li Zhirui, instead of worrying, felt relieved as he noticed the black line lting slightly upon contact with the Purification Spirit Light!
Though the change was minute, he noticed it clearly.
Yet from the situation earlier, completely resolving it wouldn’t be easy either.
A good way to deal with the powerful rootless duckweed is to continuously deplete its power until one can completely eliminate it!
This was Li Zhirui’s plan as well.
Though the efficiency was low, it was safe. First using Purification Spirit Light to completely envelop the black line, preventing the conflict from affecting the Earth Core.
Rember, the Earth Core affects the entire Primal Spirit Realm. Any change to it would bring corresponding changes!
Thus, Li Zhirui dared not use intense ans on the black line, fearing it would affect the Primal Spirit Realm, risking unforeseen deaths among countless beings unguarded.
Such Karmic Force he dared not bear!
Though safe, the thod was extrely slow, requiring significant ti and a vast amount of Mana and Spiritual Soul support.
Consequently, Li Zhirui’s purification process was particularly slow; after handling a few lines, he had to rest and recover.
Despite this, the Earth Elent Lady showed no signs of urging, rely standing not far away, allowing him to employ his thods.
Yet, unbeknownst to them, as Li Zhirui purified the line, the Primal Spirit Realm itself reacted!
The common scenario was the earth’s sudden brilliance, leading many to mistakenly believe treasure appeared, drawing countless beings, yet all left in disappointnt.
Once the Spirit Light dispersed, a faint fresh lotus fragrance would linger over the land.
