MTLNOVEL Chapter 1245: Resolution
The Turtle Minister arrived at the deepest part of the Dragon Palace, in a room heavily protected by formations.
The entire room contained nothing else, just a mat and a turtle shell.
His purpose in coming here this time was to use the turtle shell!
The Demonic Tao calculated against the Sea Clan in this way, one might even say they were undermining the very foundation of the Sea Clan; if there is no return courtesy, wouldn't it seem the Sea Clan doesn't understand propriety?
The Turtle Minister devoutly, as if in pilgrimage, slowly walked to the turtle shell, carefully held it in both hands, and returned to sit on the mat.
In that instant, his spiritual soul and wisdom magnified hundreds of times; if before it was the mind turning a hundred times, now it was ten thousand!
The turtle shell and the mat are both rare Heavenly Immortal rank magic artifacts, without any attack power, but capable of magnifying the spiritual soul and enhancing wisdom.
These two magic artifacts, the former being the Turtle Clan's greatest treasure and the latter the Dragon Tribe's greatest treasure, even the materials and methods of their crafting are extremely similar, created by continually layering, blending, and accumulating the relics of the two clans' predecessors.
Such magic artifacts can only be produced by forces with deep foundations.
After just a few breaths, the Turtle Minister came up with several ways to return the courtesy to the Demonic Tao, then immediately withdrew his spiritual soul, not daring to linger even a moment longer.
Because in such a short time, even this top-level Earth Immortal could barely endure!
His face pale, his breath withered, it was only after resting on the mat for a good while that the Turtle Minister had the strength to get up.
The effect of the magic artifacts was so powerful that sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing, because the conditions for use, time, and other aspects may be extremely stringent.
"This time, we must make the Demonic Tao pay a heavy price! Let them know what should never be provoked!" A gleam of determination flashed in the Turtle Minister's eyes, just waiting for the trip of Heavenly Immortal Water Demons to return from the Sea Eye, then preparations could begin.
Two flowers bloom, one branch each tells its story.
Meanwhile, at the deepest part of the dark and profound Sea Eye, after resting for several hours, Li Zhirui finally fully recovered.
At this moment, the number of Purifying White Lotus that could grow in the midst of the evil filth and use it as nourishment had reached over a hundred blooms.
However, compared to the vast crack, it still seemed negligible, especially given that the crack was continuously expanding.
At the speed of self-propagation of the white lotus, it was difficult to catch up with the ever-expanding crack.
Therefore, Li Zhirui needed to intervene.
As soon as he recovered, he began to gather the Purification Principle, urging the growth of the lotus seeds.
Every time he took action, thousands upon thousands of white lotuses bloomed, but 99% of them would turn to ashes under the onslaught of evil filth, collected by Ao Hui and other great beings.
However, even just that one remaining portion was faster than white lotus self-propagation.
But this time, Li Zhirui no longer hurried as before, instead adopting a steady approach to cultivate the white lotus.
There was a reason for this: one was to give the white lotus time to adapt to the current environment and accumulate more Evil Cleansing Lotus Seeds; two was that the purifying spiritual objects in those great beings' possession had been exhausted, relying on him alone, it was impossible to gather a vast amount of purification principle, let alone recreate the previous grandeur.
Yet, even so, it could still be seen that the white lotus was gradually increasing, forming a small lotus pond, taking root out of nowhere above the crack.
"The white lotus seems to have a trend of evolving to a higher grade." Ao Hui, who was closely watching, suddenly spoke with a hint of excitement.
Other great beings also looked over and could not help but reveal a trace of joy, having already witnessed the extremely strong restraining effect the Purifying White Lotus had on evil filth.
If the grade of the white lotus could be elevated, it's assumed the purification speed would be even faster!
Li Zhirui, who presided over all of this, had long discovered this situation, but he did not hold much hope because the current lotus seeds were at the ninth grade, further advancement meant reaching the Loose Immortal grade!
From mortal to immortal, the barrier was incredibly difficult for all sentient beings and spiritual objects, it was absolutely not something easily achieved.
Of course, if successful, he would certainly be the happiest person.
So Li Zhirui did not stand idly by, instead selecting those lotus seeds brimming with spiritual energy, even overflowing somewhat, and nurturing them with extra care.
Generation after generation of cultivation, perhaps an example of success might emerge!
...
Time flew by, after more than half a month, Gui He and Jin Kang finally returned to the deepest part of the Sea Eye.
"You've worked hard, traveling back and forth without a moment's rest."
Ao Hui immediately greeted them with a concerned expression, "Did anything happen along the way?"
"On the way back to the Dragon Palace, we encountered an ambush by Demon Cultivators! And they were long prepared. If it weren't for the gathering of..., we might have been severely injured if not dead." Gui He replied.
"What? You encountered Demon Cultivators!"
"Damn those Demon Cultivators, without rhyme or reason, they dared to strike against our Sea Clan, and with such acts of undermining our foundation."
"Once this matter is settled, we must let the Demonic Tao know that our Sea Clan is not something they can provoke lightly."
The great abilities, after their initial surprise, became terribly angry, wishing to storm into the West Continent and kill the Demon Cultivators in their fury.
Even Li Zhirui, who wasn't paying attention, couldn't avoid noticing the commotion.
He was also curious, as there wasn't much conflict between the Demonic Tao and the Sea Clan, why had they suddenly acted?
But soon he put the thought out of his mind, as the purifying white lotus and repairing the crack before him were more important.
"Enough! The matter of the Demonic Tao will be discussed later; once the crack is repaired, we will have the energy and time to pursue other matters." Ao Hui spoke up, halting the other great beings' venting, directing their focus to the present.
