Chapter 956: Chapter 947: The Great Battle
"In that case, let’s disseminate the Lotus Seed Skill for free, to at least allow all forces to owe the Sect a favor," the Sect Leader of the Cave Abyss Sect announced.
Even though this favor wasn’t significant, it was at least something gained.
"Let’s activate the Four Directions Great Array," a certain Immortal suddenly suggested.
The Four Directions Great Array, officially known as the Primal Spirit Eastern Continent Four Pillars Great Array, was the crystallization of the wisdom of all Array Masters from the entire Immortal Dao! Its grade was that of Immortal Grade.
Transmitting messages was just the most basic function; it was like a combination of all sorts of Formations, using mountains, rivers, and stars as the materials for the layout, which was why the Formation covered such a vast area, encompassing the entire East Continent.
Of course, the Four Directions Great Array was far from simple; it also served as a very powerful defensive and offensive Great Array.
In theory, as long as one was within the East Continent and verified, examined by the Immortal Dao Forces, one could gain a commensurate level of authority based on their strength.
However, very few forces would activate the Four Directions Great Array; the cost was too great. Just using the Formation to transmit a message to a few nearby State Domains required an immense amount of Spiritual Energy.
For a power like the Cave Abyss Sect planning to spread the message throughout the entire East Continent, only an Immortal Realm Force had sufficient foundation to accomplish this.
If it were the Li family and Li Zhirui activating the Four Directions Great Array, they wouldn’t even be able to maintain it for three breaths before the Spirit Vein’s produced Spiritual Energy was completely drained!
The Cave Abyss Sect swiftly took action, overseen by an Immortal Realm Array Master, assisted by dozens of Mahayana and Tribulation-Transcending Cultivators, and the Four Directions Great Array was activated.
It was like a ravenous beast that had been starving for a long time, greedily swallowing the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth, and even in a place where the Spiritual Energy was as dense as clouds and mist like the Cave Abyss Sect, one could clearly feel the Spiritual Energy thin out a lot once the Great Array was fully activated. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
In the next instant, a light pillar that pierced the sky shot up into the clouds, and the corresponding stars in the sky also shone brightly, causing reactions across East Continent.
If one were to overlook the entire East Continent at this time, they would discover thousands upon thousands of light spots flickering on the vast land.
This meant that at the same time, so many Immortal Dao Forces received the message transmitted by the Cave Abyss Sect.
The content was concise, simply mentioning the discovery of a Method that was extremely effective at removing black filth and very simple to use, followed by the attached Lotus Seed Skill.
"The Cave Abyss Sect is so altruistic, openly sharing the Method?"
Those smaller forces might not be well-acquainted with the distant Cave Abyss Sect, but the major Immortal Realm Forces at least had some contact.
Furthermore, by putting themselves in their shoes, if they had acquired this Method, they would certainly not be so generous.
Without overthinking it, there must be other reasons behind it, but they wouldn’t possibly activate the Four Directions Great Array for such a trivial matter, so after some contemplation, they cast these thoughts aside and began to comprehend the Lotus Seed Skill.
If the Method proved as effective as the Cave Abyss Sect claimed, then owing a debt of karma was no big deal; they assumed they would be able to repay it later.
With the Cave Abyss Sect’s active promotion, within a mere month, the Lotus Seed Skill spread throughout the entire East Continent, to all Immortal Dao Forces!
The Demonic Tao had racked their brains for thousands of years to deduce and perfect the black filth, and it took over a thousand years to infiltrate various places in the East Continent and contaminate the Spirit Veins, intending to drive the Immortal Dao out of the East Continent. However, their plans failed in just a short year or two!
And the catalyst for all this was Li Zhirui, a mere Lianxu Cultivator!
Moreover, the one who provided the solution was also him!
However, fearing that standing out would attract trouble, Li Zhirui concealed his identity and thus did not appear publicly.

While the Lotus Seed Skill was being widely disseminated, countless miles away in the West Continent, atop a towering, pitch-black Demonic Tao Sacred Mountain.
Countless Demon Cultivators congregated here, with conflicts erupting every moment; fighting and even killing someone was extremely common and would not turn any Demon Cultivator’s head.
It wasn’t until towering columns of Demonic Qi appeared that the mountain returned to calmness, or rather, deathly stillness. In an instant, the massive mountain became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
For a Demon Immortal had arrived!
No Demon Cultivator dared to provoke these rulers of the Demonic Tao, for the slightest mistake could lead to being captured as a cultivation resource, even if they were their own disciples.
"The operation to contaminate the East Continent’s Spirit Veins was too hasty, and some areas were not fully covered with black filth, leading to all of this. The prime culprit has already been assimilated into the Sacred Mountain," a serene voice, devoid of emotion and seemingly causing the temperature of the entire mountain to drop, resounded.
"One can imagine that at this moment, those Cultivators are frantically trying to solve the black filth. Taking advantage of their chaos and distraction, if we make our move, we could quickly take down the East Continent."
As soon as these words came out, all the Demon Cultivators knew that a great battle was about to erupt!
Originally, the Demon Immortal Realm had planned to wait until the Spirit Veins were severely contaminated and the Spiritual Energy produced contained the level of waste gases before striking.
After all, only an idiot within the Immortal Dao would fail to notice the issue with the Spirit Veins by that point.
The Demonic Tao chose to make their move at this time to deny the Immortal Dao any chance or time to study the black filth.
Certainly, the black filth was the culmination of endless effort by countless Demon Cultivators, but it was unlikely for the Immortal Dao to be unable to find a solution, just that it would take time.
Now that the black filth was detected by the Cultivators in advance, the Demonic Tao had no choice but to change their strategy.
Unfortunately, at this moment, all the Demon Cultivators were unaware that the real reason for the exposure of the black filth was the betrayal of a Demon Cultivator on their deathbed.
