Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1822: Chapter 1380: Captured Alive

At this moment, the Sea Clan had no idea of the Demonic Tao’s plans and were still eagerly awaiting Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo to purify the Western Sea, so they did not have much defense in place.

This resulted in a very serious consequence, the Demon Cultivator army charged like it was an unguarded land, swiftly occupying a considerable sea area!

By the time the Sea Clan reacted, the Demonic Tao had already set up a defensive stance and were desperately polluting the sea, making it unfavorable for the Sea Clan to stay for extended periods.

”These lunatics!” A Heavenly Immortal of the Sea Clan glared at the originally azure seawater, now turned completely black, and said grimly.

Demonic Tao had previously offended the Immortal Tao, Sea Clan, and Devil Race with their actions, yet their past debts hadn’t been settled and they dared to meddle with the Sea Clan again—it was baffling what the Demon Cultivators were thinking and how they dared do this.

But at this time, the Sea Clan indeed could not spare efforts to deal with the Demonic Tao.

Because Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo had almost completed purifying the East Continent, they would soon move to the Western Sea.

To compete with the Devil Race for priority, the Sea Clan paid a not insignificant price to the Heavenly Court, such as yielding some power from the Water God faction to Ziwei.

As for those various Spiritual Objects, let’s not even mention them.

Therefore, for the Sea Clan now, purifying the Western Sea was the most important task!

For this, they were willing to temporarily let the Demonic Tao off the hook.

However, once this matter is over, the Demonic Tao might face the full-force retaliation from the Sea Clan, who would clear all the accumulated grievances one by one!

As the Sea Clan anticipated, within a few days, the rays of the Sun and Taiyin shone upon the surface of the Western Sea.

Simultaneously, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo noticed the abnormal situation in the Western Sea.

”Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, the Demonic Tao has snatched part of the sea area from the Sea Clan and transformed it into an environment suitable for Demon Cultivators. Should we purify this portion of the sea area?”

”No need, it’s a conflict between the Demonic Tao and the Sea Clan, we should not get involved.”

Li Chengsheng knew this would be the answer before he asked, but to show respect to Ziwei, he still posed the question.

”Alright.”

The two then gathered their strength, avoiding that sea area, and started purifying the sea, clearing the Demonic Qi.

Unlike on the land, this time the assistance came not from the Earth God but from various Water Gods across the waters, and many Sea Clan members were helping, seeking to earn some Merit.

Since they had accumulated rich experience purifying the East Continent, this time the purification speed was much faster.

But some Sea Clan Heavenly Immortals couldn’t help but feel a bit dissatisfied when they saw Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo deliberately avoiding that sea area.

They had agreed with Ziwei initially, the purification was supposed to cover the entire Western Sea!

Even though the sea area fell into the Demonic Tao’s hands, it should still be included, why avoid and not address it?

Immediately, several Sea Clan Heavenly Immortals planned to demand an explanation afterward! They couldn’t suffer losses so blatantly.

Over half a month later, the controlled sea area by the Sea Clan had returned to its usual azure and clean appearance, and Spiritual Energy normalized.

However, like the East Continent, due to the damage to the Spirit Veins, the Spiritual Energy became a bit sparse.

”Are you managing okay, two Star Lords? Would you like to rest for a while?” Ziwei specifically came to inquire.

”Thank you for Your Majesty’s concern, we’re fine, we can persist.” Li Chengsheng declined his kindness, they just wanted to quickly resolve the matter and return to the Divine Domain to digest their gains over this time.

Indeed!

Though the two were always in a busy state with no time to retreat for cultivation, the process was tremendously invigorating.

At their current Realm, advancement is extremely challenging; any slight progress would make them very happy.

Moreover, they’ve been in the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Dou Array for a long time, gaining a deeper understanding and insight into the stars across the sky, all of which would serve as growth nutrients.

Furthermore, Li Chengsheng wasn’t lying, they truly could continue enduring; after all, the purification’s power primarily came from the Star Gods within the Great Array, not from themselves—with little exhaustion involved.

”Since that’s the case, let’s conclude swiftly, sorry for the trouble, two Star Lords.”

”No problem, everyone is working hard.”

In the discussion, they already followed the Formation’s movement, reaching the junction of the West Continent and the Southern Domain, where the Hundred Thousand Mountains are occupied by the Devil Race!

In comparison to the other two factions, the Devil Race’s loss was the smallest.

The reason is simple, the Hundred Thousand Mountains are filled with Devil Race creatures, making it difficult for those Demon Cultivators to find a Spirit Vein not already occupied by Devil Beasts.

Thus, many times they could only settle for second best, deploying the Hidden Dregs Secret Technique to pollute the Earth.

But in doing so, without the accelerated dispersal of Spiritual Energy, the pollution by Demonic Qi proceeded relatively slowly.

Instead, the territories within the Southern Domain occupied by the Devil Race were even more severe, and the Human Dao region was also affected.

Consequently, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo spent the least time clearing the Demonic Qi from the Devil Race areas, taking less than half a month to finish completely.

Buzz—

When the last spot of pollution vanished, the world trembled slightly, emitting a soft hum, and a mass of Merit Golden Cloud, spanning over a hundred acres, appeared in the sky.

The Golden Cloud then dispersed, turning into beams of varying size of golden light, shooting in all directions of the Primal Spirit Realm, reaching their respective owners’ hands.

Among those who garnered the most Merit was undeniably Li Chengshuo!

After all, she was the one truly taking action to clear the Demonic Qi; others merely assisted and aided alongside, hence naturally she acquired more Merit.

”With this matter settled, we shall head back first.”

After absorbing the Merit, Li Chengsheng immediately bid farewell to Ziwei, planning to return to the Divine Domain.

”Thank you for your hard work, two Star Lords, hurry back for some rest.” Ziwei agreed promptly, the reason was simple—he didn’t want them to steal his spotlight.

After all, following this event, many creatures would undoubtedly credit Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo with gratitude rather than Ziwei, letting their fame outshine his.

”Farewell!”

”Hmph!”

On the return journey to the Divine Domain, Li Chengshuo snorted disdainfully, saying: ”I thought he had already improved and changed, but it turns out his mind is still full of power, resorting to unsophisticated little schemes and tricks.”

They understood clearly why Ziwei was so quick to consent to their departure, hence she held him in contempt.

As a Divine, safeguarding the world is a given, but not striving to improve oneself and only playing tricks truly earns disdain.

”Unrelated to us, ahead the Primal Spirit Realm might face turbulence for some time; let’s continue to retreat for cultivation, striving to transcend and depart sooner.”
