Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2002 1470: Emerging from Seclusion

As soon as Ao Huang appeared, his gaze imdiately fixed on Li Zhirui, and with considerable respect he said, "This must be Li Zhirui, Fellow Daoist Li?"

"Indeed, that is I. May I ask who you are?" Li Zhirui returned the courtesy, asking with so curiosity.

"Ao Huang of the Dragon Tribe."

Ao Qing, standing by, helped introduce him: "It was my cousin here who insisted on inviting Fellow Daoist to purify the Sea Eye. Now, looking at the situation, it seems he truly foresaw what was to co; otherwise, it's frightful to imagine what the Western Sea would have beco."

"So that's how it is. I am honored by Fellow Daoist's high regard."

Ao Huang forced a smile, unable to hide his anxiety as he said, "The situation is urgent—would you please first examine the pollution at the Sea Eye?"

"Very well."

As soone who accepted paynt for services, Li Zhirui would naturally not refuse his employer's request; moreover, in this matter, he could not only receive great spiritual objects and thods from the Dragon Tribe, but also gain a asure of rit from the Heavenly Dao.

With a thought, a thin layer of white light enveloped his body as he dove toward the depths of the Sea Eye.

Compared to the surrounding waters, the pollution within the Sea Eye was even more severe. At a glance, he could no longer discern the sea's original color; everything was viscous and turbid, resembling mud.

The two following close behind, upon witnessing this, found their faces darkening with even deeper worry.

Especially Ao Huang—he had co to inspect it only two days ago, and things were far from this dire. That ant, in just two short days, it had deteriorated to such an extent!

He dared not imagine, if not for his sudden impulse to press for Li Zhirui's invitation, and their tily arrival, what the Sea Eye and the entire Western Sea would look like if they'd co any later.

"Damn those demon cultivators! Are those madn trying to pollute the whole world?" Ao Qing could not help but curse aloud.

Seeing Li Zhirui's tightly knit brow and darkening expression, Ao Huang hurriedly asked, "Fellow Li, is the situation truly so severe?"

"The demonic sect is employing the Hidden Dregs Secret Technique once again, yet the grade of evil filth present is far higher—and I believe they must have improved the secret art, causing the pollution to not only spread more rapidly, but making purification much harder as well."

Having spoken, Li Zhirui looked earnestly at the two True Dragons and said, "I do not possess absolute certainty in this matter. I hope you two will be ntally prepared."

He was not trying to demand greater reward from the Sea Clan, but speaking the truth: he simply had no guarantee of resolving the Sea Eye's pollution.

"That..."

"You are already the one in the Primal Spirit Realm with the greatest command of the Purification Principle. If even you cannot resolve it, I fear there is no second person in the entire Primal Spirit Realm who can."

"Should you give your utmost effort and still fail to purify the Sea Eye, the terms previously promised will all be honored by my Sea Clan!"

Saying this, Ao Huang bowed deeply, his expression utterly sincere: "I beg you, fellow Daoist, please take action."

"Prepare additional purifying spiritual objects for ."

Li Zhirui left the Sea Eye, beginning to contemplate how to handle the matter.

He felt a vague sense that sothing was amiss—if the Demonic Tao possessed arts of such power, why had they refrained from using them for so many years?

After all, once polluted, the environnt was utterly unsuitable for the survival and cultivation of other living beings—yet to demon cultivators, it beca a cultivation holy land!

But before this Western Sea Eye, such a phenonon had never been heard of.

Thus, Li Zhirui suspected it must be an evolved version of the Hidden Dregs Secret Technique, coupled with so unforeseen accident, resulting in mutated evil filth, producing the current state of the Sea Eye.

After prolonged consideration, he finally chose to tackle the easier part first: purify the nearby waters, and then contemplate how to solve the problem of the Sea Eye.

However, to prevent the foul water generated by the Sea Eye from incessantly tainting the sea, he would first need to devise a way to isolate the two.

Having made his plans, Li Zhirui no longer hesitated and imdiately began purifying the surrounding seas.

He ford seals with both hands, and radiant, dazzling purification spiritual light appeared at his fingertips. At a thought, a torrent of White Lotus Seeds flew forth from his storage magical treasure, descending upon the blackened sea's surface.

In the next instant, every seed burst open and sprouted; nourished by purification spiritual light, they grew visibly larger at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, blossod into blooming white lotuses.

When the sea breeze stirred, the white lotuses swayed gently, possessing an unexpected beauty.

Should one observe closely, he would find that the once inky waters were steadily growing lighter in shade.

Moreover, the white lotuses absorbed the evil filth, transforming it into nutrients for their own growth, maturing and beginning to form new lotus seeds.

This scene brought a hint of joy to the faces of Ao Qing and Ao Huang—they now thought that Li Zhirui's previous words were but modesty.

Had he not just cleansed the polluted seas with apparent ease? Even if the Sea Eye's difficulty were much greater, it probably wouldn't defeat him either.

But only Li Zhirui knew the situation was far from so simple.

He did nothing else, simply continued channeling the surrounding world's purification laws, changing the environnt as much as possible to speed the lotuses' growth.

In rely an hour, the first wave of lotus seeds matured, falling off by themselves, whereupon they were again enveloped in spirit light and grew rapidly anew.

In only a few short hours, the once blackened waters nearby had returned to dazzling blue, and the foul stench had thoroughly dissipated.

Furthermore, the area of restored sea grew ever larger—indeed, everything seed to be moving in a better direction.

Yet Li Zhirui's expression never relaxed, for in the sea near the Sea Eye, blackness once more began to spread!

Fortunately, by now he possessed enough purification lotus seeds, and imdiately took them as formation nodes, tracing array patterns with purification spiritual light to establish a restriction.
