Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2283 - 1610: Cloud Continent

The Lands of Evil he hadn’t found might have been purified by the other party and no longer existed, so naturally, he couldn’t find them.

”Could it be that this trip was all for nothing?”

Thinking of this, Li Zhirui sighed helplessly.

After pondering for a moment, he decided to keep searching again. If he couldn’t find it, he would have to consider moving to another continent.

He suppressed these complex thoughts in his heart, stopped thinking about them, and continued flying in the air, searching for his target.

One day, two days, three days...

The days swiftly passed by, but Li Zhirui still couldn’t find a single spot where evil energy congregated!

Just as he was about to give up and head towards the neighboring Sealed Continent, a pleasant surprise suddenly arrived!

Not far away, a strand of pure, intense evil energy suddenly emanated.

Without the slightest hesitation, he flew towards that place at the fastest speed.

Soon, before Li Zhirui was a marsh-like area stretching over a hundred miles, continuously bubbling with black bubbles and exuding an indescribable stench.

Careful observation would reveal a faint black mist shrouded above.

Yet, facing such a place despised and loathed by the world, a look of joy appeared on his face.

”This is the place!”

Rather than feeling too sentimental, he quickly deployed methods, unleashing his enormous mana, and the power of purification frantically spawned white lotuses.

In just a moment, the originally marshland turned into a lotus pond filled with white lotuses.

The marsh quickly became clean, the black mist and stench hovering above gradually dissipated, and everything was moving in a positive direction.

Just as Li Zhirui was purifying this land of evil, several spirit lights flew over from afar, revealing several cultivators who appeared to have extraordinary origins when they landed.

There were six people in total: one Profound Immortal, three Heavenly Immortals, and the remaining two were Earth Immortal Cultivators.

Such a level of strength, if placed in Mingzhou, would already be considered one of the highest powers.

The group uniformly wore moon-white Taoist robes, with a crescent moon embroidered with silver thread. Upon careful observation of the moon, one would see it change from full to crescent!

If there were any Guangzhou cultivators present, they would surely recognize their identity from the robes.

Taiyin Bright Moon Palace!

One of the three top powers of Guangzhou, it once had a Golden Immortal in charge, and still has several Profound Immortals and hundreds of Heavenly Immortals with formidable strength.

Rumor has it, Taiyin Bright Moon Palace already has a Profound Immortal in seclusion, striving for the Golden Immortal Realm. Once successful, it will become the most powerful force in Guangzhou!

However, Li Zhirui was not a creature from the Tao Spirit Realm, nor a Guangzhou cultivator, so he couldn’t recognize these robes, but judging from their powerful strength, he knew they weren’t to be trifled with.

They didn’t come with good intentions!

That was his first reaction upon seeing the group in front of him, especially facing that Profound Immortal opposite him, someone he had never seen yet felt strangely familiar.

He immediately realized the six people opposite might be the cultivators who practiced the Purification Principle and had purified the original Lands of Evil in Guangzhou.

”Who are you?” that Profound Immortal asked with an unpleasant expression.

It’s no wonder he looked displeased because these places should have been dealt with by them to resolve their own karma, yet now it had been snatched away by someone else, what should have belonged to them.

Moreover, creatures practicing the Purification Principle, in the entire Tao Spirit Realm, are less than a handful, and he knows almost every individual.

But he had no impression of the Profound Immortal before him!

If it was a low-level cultivator, it could still be said they had just broken through recently and hadn’t become famous; he might not recognize them. But the other party was a Great Ability Profound Immortal; how could he not know them!?

”Just a loose cultivator, not worth mentioning.”

Li Zhirui naturally wouldn’t foolishly announce his identity, casually perfunctory, but silently accelerated the purification of this evil place.

”Stop! This is a matter for our Taiyin Bright Moon Palace, you have no right to do this!”

No one could ignore his actions, and immediately a Heavenly Immortal stood out and spoke loudly.

He was merely daring because he had a Profound Immortal supporting him; otherwise, how could a small Heavenly Immortal Cultivator dare to confront a Profound Immortal?

”In view of you also practicing the Path of Purification, what happened before, our Bright Moon Palace will let it go, but I ask you to leave Guangzhou as soon as possible and refrain from doing this again!” The Profound Immortal warned sternly.

If possible, he didn’t want to have a conflict with an unknown Profound Immortal cultivator.

Because that’s obviously not a good thing; a careless mistake might lead to a life-and-death situation.

Of course, if a battle really broke out, he wouldn’t be afraid, because he was confident in his strength.

”Alright.” Li Zhirui had no intention of confronting them and readily agreed.

After all, this spot of evil has almost been purified, and the merit is secured; there’s no need for conflict.

After all, compared to a major local power in Guangzhou, it’s better for him, a lone individual, to avoid unnecessary troubles.

But the other party found his consent too quick, looking at him suspiciously, obviously not fully believing his words.

”No need to doubt me,” Li Zhirui suddenly found it amusing and, without further explanation, simply turned and flew away into the distance.

”Senior Brother Gao, did that Profound Immortal really leave just like that?” A Heavenly Immortal said incredulously.

The Profound Immortal, staring at the already vanishing figure, said, ”Hmm, looks like he has, but whether he truly left Guangzhou, I don’t know.”

He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and said to the disciples, ”Let’s go. This place has already been purified by him.”

But before leaving, he thoughtfully glanced at the evil place, as those white lotuses seemed like a special purifying Spiritual Object?

’What a pity, I should have tried to trade with him to see if I could get such an object,’ he thought regretfully.

Because before Li Zhirui left, those white lotuses all withered, and when they withered, they released their last purification energy, completely cleaning the territory one last time.

...

”Guangzhou truly deserves to be the strongest cultivation world in the northern Immortal Tao.”

Li Zhirui, feeling the reduced karma within himself, couldn’t help but sigh.

Just purifying that one territory almost equalled one and a half places of evil he purified in Mingzhou!

As for being driven away, he didn’t mind since he had previously considered leaving when he couldn’t find any targets in Guangzhou despite searching all over.

Before leaving, he even gained considerable merit, which was already quite lucky.

On the journey, Li Zhirui carefully considered and decided to head east of Guangzhou, towards Cloud Continent southeast of Mingzhou.

The strength of the Cultivation World there is between Mingzhou and Guangzhou. If there are no cultivators practicing the Purification Principle, then perhaps he needn’t travel to other continents and can directly resolve the karma of himself and the sect.

However, this journey wasn’t as peaceful as before, with battles between cultivators popping up now and then.

Fortunately, Li Zhirui always spread his Divine Sense outside, thus detecting these fights in advance to avoid being inadvertently involved.

After a long journey, he finally arrived at Cloud Continent!

The moment he transitioned from Guangzhou to Cloud Continent, he immediately noticed a significant decrease in spiritual energy.

”However...”

Li Zhirui frowned and muttered, ”Why is the spiritual energy in Cloud Continent somewhat contaminated?”

Even during this great tribulation, the world should be filled with Evil Qi instead, so why is there this strange situation of contamination?

For some unknown reason, he felt Cloud Continent’s situation was quite complicated, but resolving this problem could possibly yield immense merit! Possibly far surpassing all the merit he had gathered before!

At the emergence of this thought, Li Zhirui became somewhat hesitant.

Should he enter Cloud Continent and try to solve this problem; or continue as before, merely purifying Lands of Evil to gather enough to resolve his own and the sect’s karma, or should he just turn around and leave, pretending not to know about it?
