Chapter 950: Chapter 944: Seriously Injured
Li Zhirui remained silent, weighing the pros and cons in his heart.
If he really could solve this problem, the benefits were self-evident. He could obtain a number of Spiritual Objects, methods, and other cultivation resources from the forces of Wanzhu State with contaminated Spirit Veins, as well as establish good relations with them.
Moreover, Li Zhirui wasn’t too worried about being the only special one. The Primal Spirit Realm wasn’t the Profound Origin Realm; it was impossible for him to be the only one amongst billions of cultivators to possess the Purification Principle.
Besides, in the Great Thousand World, where wonders abound, there were certainly more than just this method.
The disadvantage was also clear: Demon Cultivators would definitely try to find a way to deal with their kind of cultivators!
No one knew how deeply the Demon Cultivators were hidden!
It seemed that Demon Cultivators had completely retreated from Wanzhu State, but who could assure there were no Demon Cultivators lurking among the cultivators?
Demon Cultivators had been able to secretly expand in the East Continent for a thousand years, becoming strong enough to give birth to Lianxu cultivators without being discovered, surely due to a very powerful concealing Secret Technique.
So far, cultivators had no way to see through it at a glance, even in the midst of battle, unable to tell if the other party was a Demon Cultivator!
Take, for example, the Demon Cultivator that Li Zhirui had slain; there was no sign of demon cultivation in his spellcasting. You must know, Demon Cultivators would amalgamate various types of evil energy during their cultivation to increase their offensive power, but this made it very obvious.
Had it not been for searching the Storage Magical Treasure afterward and seeing those corpses and blood, Li Zhirui would never have guessed that person was actually a Demon Cultivator.
’Having a spatial artifact by my side, even if Demon Cultivators want to kill me, it’s not an easy task, but I have to consider the family...’
Li Zhirui silently pondered, ’Then I can only hide my identity to avoid endangering the family’s safety.’
"Uncle Shiling..." Li Chenghuo saw him silent for a long time, softly called out.
Li Zhirui immediately came back to his senses and said, "Let’s go find a tunnel without outsiders."
There were more than a hundred such tunnels, so the Li family easily found their target, spent some effort to clear the blocked passage, and quickly saw a long Spirit Vein, continuously emitting pure, rich Spiritual Energy.
"This Spirit Vein Grade is much higher than the one our family has," Li Chenghuo and the others envied. How great it would be if the Li family had such a Spirit Vein.
Li Zhirui said nothing because the current Spirit Vein was able to satisfy the family’s needs. It wasn’t too late to talk about these things after the family’s strength improved.
He walked straight to the Spirit Vein, concentrated all his Divine Sense into a spike as instructed by that mighty being, and thrust it deep into the Spirit Vein.
The purpose of this was to ensure the Divine Sense wouldn’t be affected by the rich Spiritual Energy within the Spirit Vein. After all, the strength of the Divine Sense of a Lianxu Cultivator was far less than that of an Integration, and could only use this kind of shortcut.
After several unsuccessful attempts to find the black filth due to the excessive consumption of Divine Sense, Li Zhirui had to rest for a moment. Fortunately, the second attempt went very smoothly.
Upon catching the first glimpse of the black filth, a strong feeling of revulsion arose in Li Zhirui’s heart, as if it were the embodiment of all filth in the world!
For a cultivator who mastered the Purification Principle like him, it was like a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, desiring nothing more than to get rid of it swiftly.
Suppressing the impulse in his heart, Li Zhirui withdrew his Divine Sense and began to regulate his breath with closed eyes.
Li Chenghuo and the other clan members watched the scene silently without making a sound.
After a while, Li Zhirui adjusted his state and exerted all his strength to invoke the Laws of Purification from heaven and earth. A white light, pure to the extreme, entered the Spirit Vein and, under the guidance of Divine Sense, confronted the black filth.
Sizzling!
Like the clash of hot oil and cold water, the two different energies erupted in strong fluctuations the moment they touched, like two fierce tigers vying for territory, each wanting to obliterate the other.
Even though the Laws of Purification restrained all evil and filthy things, the power of the black filth was too strong and Li Zhirui’s strength was insufficient. After a stalemate, the Purification Principle was crushed.
Luckily, during the standoff, some of the black filth was purified, proving that Li Zhirui could indeed resolve it, only that his Cultivation level was too low and the efficiency was slow.
Li Zhirui stumbled, having overexerted himself just now, and his Mana was nearly depleted.
"Uncle Shiling, are you alright?" Li Chenghuo hurried forward, asking with concern.
"It’s fine," Li Zhirui shook his head and said, "I can indeed purify the black filth, but the effect is not ideal."
"But considering that few cultivators can do this, they probably won’t despise me."
Because once delayed for too long, the black filth would grow within the Spirit Vein, affecting the Spiritual Energy produced, tainted with impurity, leading to a huge disaster!
The entire Spirit Vein could be said to be ruined, and the cultivators above it would suffer as well because they would have to divert their minds to clear the waste energy from the Spiritual Energy in their future Cultivation, causing their Cultivation speed to drop significantly.
And Spiritual Objects without Spiritual Intelligence couldn’t distinguish the waste, resulting in a buildup of waste energy within them. Perhaps initially, they would seem to grow healthily, but once the waste reached a limit, the entire Spiritual Object would wilt quickly.
Not to mention the increased difficulty of removing the black filth by then.
Preventing disease is better than curing it; that’s the reasoning.
"For the sake of the family’s safety, don’t reveal this matter. I will hide my identity and seek out the powers of Wanzhu State to discuss this," Li Zhirui instructed with a solemn expression.
"Yes! Ancestor Rui, rest assured, we will keep this secret," the people promised in unison.
