Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2291 - 1614: Sabotage

It’s what they are now performing, the method of absorbing filth and exchanging it for spiritual energy!

First, they regard themselves as containers, absorbing countless evil filth into their bodies, all while ensuring their survival and consciousness won’t succumb or fall.

Just this step alone requires enduring immense torture, and those without extraordinarily strong wills cannot possibly persist.

Then, they use themselves as the Array Eye core to set up an Evil Spirit Reversal Array on the earth.

And this is the most critical and important step in the entire method.

Because this formation, which combines various pathways, was created by Elder Xuan using his extraordinary talent and great wisdom, it can transform evil, filth, and other harmful existences to the world into spiritual energy!

Yet, in the process of setting up the formation, the earth unknowingly got polluted, which is where Elder Xuan and the others are, in Cloud Continent.

The choice of Cloud Continent was naturally due to its being relatively remote yet still having decent spiritual energy, just suitable for him to set up the formation.

Why did other Profound Immortals take such a risk to follow him?

Mainly, they wanted to improve their cultivation and realm but encountered some issues, which made it difficult to break through smoothly, so unwilling to stop there, they had no choice but to venture a trial.

Moreover, Elder Xuan promised that if this method succeeded, the difficulty of breaking through to Golden Immortal in the future would not only be reduced, but they would also gain his insights and guidance from the breakthrough!

Plus, he had sworn the Great Tao Oath, so they weren’t worried he would break it, thus they agreed to help him achieve this.

Since they were just nodes in the Great Array, they didn’t bear much of the evil filth, nor did they suffer as much pain, otherwise, they would have run away at the start.

The Evil Spirit Reversal Array is not too complex but requires a large amount of filth and evil to fill it, or else, even if it operates successfully, Elder Xuan’s condition won’t improve much.

Then, during this process, they encountered a great calamity.

At first, everyone was delighted because the calamity triggered a massive eruption of the needed filth and evil, convenient for their collection.

But soon, things became complicated!

For some reason, the Heavenly Dao suddenly intervened, burdening them with the formidable task of resolving all evil and filth in the Tao Spirit Realm!

If they succeeded, the Heavenly Dao would not only bestow them with vast merit but also open up the Heavenly Dao Origin, aiding their breakthrough to Golden Immortal.

It was because of this that nearby high-level cultivators warned their disciples and juniors not to go to Cloud Continent, to avoid disrupting the Heavenly Dao’s calculations and incurring its disdain.

But that was all; they wouldn’t possibly take action to help or obstruct those low-level cultivators wanting to head to Cloud Continent.

After all, once Elder Xuan and the others broke through to Golden Immortal, their forces would face tremendous upheaval.

So they wouldn’t dare take initiative to disrupt, nor would they step forward to help.

Actually, Li Zhirui was completely unaware of all this; he thought he was simply taking measures for self-preservation, but these actions ended up ruining the Heavenly Dao’s calculations and destroyed these Profound Immortals’ hopes of breaking through to Golden Immortal.

After all, formations that could convert existences like evil and filth into pure spiritual energy had never been heard of before, nor had he ever thought in this direction.

Additionally, because he wasn’t a being of the Tao Spirit Realm, the Heavenly Dao of this realm couldn’t remind him not to proceed to Cloud Continent.

This oversight led him to cause such a big mess!

But even if Li Zhirui knew, he wouldn’t care.

Because he was merely a wanderer, he didn’t concern himself with what the Tao Spirit Realm would become in the future.

Back to the matter at hand!

”What should we do now?”

A certain Profound Immortal said with a face full of unwillingness, ”Could it be our painstaking arrangements over the years have just been undone by someone like this?”

”Those damn low-level cultivators!”

Unknowingly, a hint of red killing intent had surfaced in his eyes, seemingly wanting to crush these ignorant low-level cultivators completely!

”I say, it’s all because of that Tongtian Sect Leader; if it weren’t for his secret scheming leading these low-level cultivators here, we wouldn’t be in this situation now.”

Jiang Bogang took the opportunity to speak up, hoping to incite more hatred and anger towards Li Zhirui among the others, perhaps leading someone to join him against him.

”Exactly! He is the real culprit!”

”We must kill him whenever there’s a chance in the future to quell the hatred in our hearts!”

...

Several Profound Immortals chimed in agreement.

Seeing this scene, a hint of joy flashed in Jiang Bogang’s eyes, but it quickly turned into a trace of hatred, thinking to himself: ’This time, I want to see how you escape!’

”Man conquers nature! Man conquers nature! These loose cultivators work so hard for more merit; are we worse than them, ready to give up?”

Elder Xuan, worthy of being the one who independently created this seemingly against-heaven formation, quickly recovered from the setback and thought of a solution.

”Since Cloud Continent has already been occupied by these low-level cultivators, just abandon it and open up a new territory!”

Rather than waste time driving them away, it would be better to extract the Spirit Vein, evil filth, and such from Cloud Continent, move to another place and set it up again, maybe even faster.

The other Profound Immortals looked at each other in disbelief at Elder Xuan’s decision to directly abandon Cloud Continent, which they had worked on for so long.

But upon careful consideration, this indeed was a good approach!

After all, they were the core and nodes of the formation; Array Patterns, and such, weren’t that difficult to draw, merely requiring to gather the evil filth again.

Moreover, when the Heavenly Dao intervened in these matters, it didn’t specify that this had to be completed in Cloud Continent.

”Elder Xuan, which place do you think is more suitable?” Bai Ba was the first to react and asked.

”Northeast of Youzhou, Cold Continent Snowfield!” Elder Xuan said with a determined expression.

Upon hearing this, several Profound Immortals hesitated.

Because that place, as its name implies, is indeed a bitterly cold region!

And due to the overly thin spiritual energy and extremely cold climate, this land is virtually uninhabitable for the human race, often overlooked and forgotten in Immortal Tao territories.

It’s imaginable what kind of place it is.

”Elder Xuan, isn’t Cold Continent a bit unsuitable? Setting up the formation also requires a large amount of spiritual energy to operate; wouldn’t Youzhou be more appropriate?” a Profound Immortal said.

”The Tongtian Sect Leader is likely to head to Youzhou. If he ruins our setup again, we won’t have time.”

”Can we not resolve one early-stage Profound Immortal with all our combined power?”

Elder Xuan shook his head, having considered all this in choosing Cold Continent, saying, ”Currently, the Heavenly Calculation Deduction is in chaos, and since he can resist the deductions, finding him would require significant time.”

”This...”

If Cloud Continent’s setup hadn’t been ruined, they would have had ample time to resolve this issue calmly. But now, the calamity was halfway through; not much time remained.

”Quickly prepare and set off for Cold Continent.”

”Alright.”

The other Profound Immortals didn’t hesitate further, nodded, and immediately set the plan into action.

All cultivators dispersed, locating the polluted Spirit Veins of Cloud Continent to extract them.

Since they were polluted Spirit Veins, and offered no benefit to the heavens, completely extracting them wouldn’t lead to karmic consequences.

In less than two hours, several Profound Immortals gathered again and flew as fast as they could towards the Cold Continent to the north.

”Oh?!”

With the polluted Spirit Veins removed, the condition of Cloud Continent gradually improved.

Moreover, due to tens of thousands of cultivators continuously applying the Lotus Seed Skill, Cloud Continent’s major part restored to its former state within half a month.

Yet, these changes, in the eyes of those cultivators, were not welcome.

On the contrary, in pursuit of more merit, they began fighting over the remaining polluted regions.

Initially, it was only conflicts among some cultivators, but gradually, more joined in, eventually evolving into a chaotic and intense battle!
