Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

The pollution of the West Sea Eye by demonic forces greatly angered several water demons at the Celestial Immortal Realm, but their anger did not stem from the matter itself, but from the fact that the demonic cultivators had infiltrated such a vital location without anyone noticing a trace of them!
What if the demonic cultivators resort to their old tricks and launch a surprise attack on the sea tribe's rear camp, causing the camp to fall, morale to plummet, and hindering this invasion?
As for the already polluted sea eye, to be honest, the marine life isn't in a big hurry.

Since the incident with the East Sea Eye, the sea creatures not only obtained the Purifying White Lotus Seeds and the Lotus Cultivation Method from Li Zhirui, but also cultivated several water demons within their tribe to practice the Purification Law.

One of them, under the intensive training of the sea tribe, has successfully broken through to the Earth Immortal realm.

With him in charge, and with the assistance of the others, the sea creatures were confident that they could purify the sea eye and resolve the matter.

So while they sought help from the East Sea, asking those sea creatures to come and assist them, they launched an even fiercer and more violent offensive against the demonic path.

However, even traveling at full speed from the East China Sea to the West China Sea would take three to four months, so they couldn't just do nothing.

The only option was to send the two human-immortal water demons who remained in the West Sea to cultivate the purification laws, along with all the white lotus seeds and pure lotus seeds, to slow down the spread of pollution in the sea eye.

On the other side, they unleashed all their anger into the battle, and then the demonic cultivators were doomed.

The sea creatures and the demonic cultivators were evenly matched, but the balance was broken after the sea creatures intensified their offensive, making it extremely difficult for the demonic cultivators to cope.

……

"Could it be that the attempt to pollute the sea eye failed?"

In the front-line camp of the demonic path, several celestial beings gathered together, and couldn't help but doubt their previous plans. It's no wonder they were like this, after all, judging from the sea tribe's reaction, the sea eye seemed to be completely fine.

"impossible!"

The demonic cultivator in charge of the matter immediately retorted, "I personally poured an entire gourd of filth and evil into the sea eye, unless there was something wrong with what you prepared from the beginning."

You must understand that he bore immense karmic consequences in this matter!

If the other demonic cultivators who refined this item could help share the burden, then he would have to bear it all by himself!
He would never have agreed to do it if others hadn't given him a large number of spiritual items to compensate for this.

"Perhaps the secret technique is firing a little too slowly? Maybe we should wait a couple more days."

Just as the two sides were about to start arguing, a veteran celestial being spoke up and temporarily put the matter aside.

But to my surprise, this person was right!
However, ten days later, the sea creatures changed their tactics and stopped their fierce attacks. Instead, the army withdrew and began to defend the waters they had previously seized.

Should we launch a counterattack?

Upon seeing this, the demonic cultivators knew that their initial plan had succeeded, and they immediately gathered to discuss their next move.

"Of course! If we don't take advantage of their retreat to reclaim the waters that haven't been completely digested by the sea creatures, it will be much more difficult to take action later!"

"That's not a good idea! There's still a major battle with the Ghost Clan in the north. We should concentrate our forces, deal with those ignorant fools, and then confront the Sea Clan and find a way to drive them off the land."

The two sides had a heated argument over this issue.

Ultimately, however, more people supported the second option.

There was no other way. Although the sea creatures posed a greater threat, the ghost creatures were easier to bully. Now that the sea creatures were preoccupied, it would be easier to drive the ghost creatures out of the Western Continent.

Therefore, a portion of the demonic cultivators were left to defend the camp, while the rest headed north to reclaim the lost territory from the ghost clan!
……

at the same time.

"Damn it!"

Ao Huang, the dragon immortal who led the sea race into battle, looked at the scene before him with a mixture of anger and fear, and shouted, "Can anyone tell me what's going on here!"

The once azure sea had turned black and was emitting an extremely foul odor, clearly indicating that it had been polluted to a very serious degree!
"Ancestor Aohuang, this matter really has nothing to do with us!"

The water spirits responsible for purification quickly spoke up, explaining, "We've done everything we can to suppress the spread of pollution, but for some reason, the results have been extremely poor. In just seven days, all the lotus seeds we had were used up. These last few days, we've been working ourselves to the bone to suppress it, but it's had almost no effect..."

“What they said is true; they didn’t lie,” said several Earth Immortals guarding the Sea Eye, offering their support.

Now, Ao Huang's expression turned even uglier.

If it was due to their dereliction of duty that the pollution became serious, then it could be said that the problem was not particularly serious.

But the current situation is that they have done their best, even using up all the lotus seeds they had, but they have only been able to suppress it for a few days!
In the remaining three or four months, he dared not imagine how serious the pollution would become.

Furthermore, even if the Earth Immortal White Horseshoe Crab, who cultivates the Purification Law, arrives, will he be able to resolve this matter?
If this problem cannot be solved, what will happen to the Western Sea? And in the long run, what will happen to the entire four seas and all waters?
When that day comes, the sea creatures will no longer have any living space. What will they do then?

Thinking of these things, Ao Huang's face turned terribly gloomy, and a suffocating aura permeated his body.

"No! We must be prepared that even horseshoe crabs won't be able to solve the problem."

Immediately, the name of a cultivator appeared in Ao Huang's mind!

He decided to activate the grand formation and immediately contact the sea creatures in the East China Sea, asking them to invite Li Zhirui to the West China Sea as soon as possible to purify the sea eye!
Although it was just in case, he had a strange feeling that this matter probably really needed the help of this human celestial being to resolve.

Meanwhile, the sea creatures of the East Sea knew that something big had happened in the West Sea when they saw the Four Seas Formation activated for the second time in a short period of time.

Then they heard Ao Huang's suggestion to ask the celestial being from the Li family for help.

"Has the problem with the West Sea Eye become so serious that even horseshoe crabs can't solve it?"

"I don't think he can purify the sea eye, or even suppress the spread of pollution." Although it was somewhat blunt, this was indeed Ao Huang's true thought.

"Understood, we will send someone to invite Li Zhirui."

Having said that, he shut down the formation.

At first, the East Sea side didn't really take this matter to heart. They thought it was just a common trick of the demonic path. Who knew that the demonic path would be so crazy as to use the secret technique of concealing turbidity from back then, and it was an improved and enhanced version of the secret technique!
Therefore, when sending horseshoe crabs, not many purifying lotus seeds were prepared for them.

However, now that they have received concrete information, they can only do their best to make up for it, sending people to hurry on their way to catch up with the white horseshoe crab group that has already set off, and bringing all the purifying spiritual items in the warehouse to help.

On the other side, the sea tribe also arranged for Ao Qing, a dragon celestial being, to go to the Li family in Shanhai Prefecture to ask Li Zhirui for help.

In fact, Xiao Cang had already noticed Ao Qing's presence when he stepped into the Myriad Spirits Sea. She then appeared directly and asked him solemnly, "May I ask what brings you to the Li family's territory this time?"

“I have an important matter to ask of Fellow Daoist Li Zhirui. I humbly request that, in consideration of our shared kinship, you help me make an introduction.” Knowing that he needed a favor from Li Zhirui, Ao Qing naturally adopted a humble attitude.

"Ok?"

Xiao Cang saw that he didn't seem to be there to interrogate her, and he looked anxious. Perhaps he really did need her help. After thinking about it, she agreed to take him to Shanhai Prefecture.

"However, Ninth Brother has been in seclusion for many years, so it is still unknown whether he can be of any help."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble." Since he had already agreed, Xiao Cang naturally wouldn't go back on her word. Besides, Ao Qing alone couldn't cause any trouble in Shanhai Prefecture, let alone enter Wanxian Mountain.

If he harbors any ill intentions, the Li family has enough power to suppress them.

Fortunately, he didn't, and he really did come to ask Li Zhirui for help. He even thought Xiao Cang's flying speed was too slow, said sorry, and then carried him back to the front of Wanxian Mountain.

"What a magnificent celestial formation!"

Even with Ao Qing's background, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when he first saw the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Of course, he remembered his purpose, so he quickly composed himself, but he felt more confident about the operation.

With such a powerful protective formation, even if Li Zhirui is not at Wanxian Mountain, he doesn't need to worry about the safety of his family.

"please."

Xiao Cang led the way, directly to his cave dwelling.

As luck would have it, Li Zhirui happened to have done nothing, so as soon as they rang the gate bell, he quickly appeared.

"Brother Ninth..."

Xiao Cang was about to explain, but Ao Qing spoke up first, saying, "Fellow Daoist Li! This sudden visit is because I have an important matter to ask of you!"

"The eye of the Western Sea has been corrupted by demonic cultivators using secret techniques. The situation is extremely serious and critical. I implore you, fellow Daoist, for the sake of the Yuanling Realm and its living beings, to lend a helping hand!"

The moment he opened his mouth, he tried to use the righteous cause to force Li Zhirui to take action, which greatly displeased him. What heaven and earth, what living beings, this is all caused by the great war between you and the demonic cultivators.

Besides, he is a cultivator, not a god. Using these things as bargaining chips to try and change his mind is just wishful thinking.

"Thank you for your kind offer, fellow Daoist, but unfortunately my strength is insufficient. Please find someone more capable." So Li Zhirui directly refused.

If you really want to ask for help, then honestly state your conditions and don't try these little tricks.

In fact, he wished he could just agree immediately.

He was just worried about not being able to accumulate merit to help himself transcend quickly when the sea creatures presented him with a great gift: the eye of the West Sea had been polluted by evil spirits and filth, and the situation seemed to be very serious!

However, we still have to get the benefits we deserve!

So seeing that Li Zhirui was really about to get up and leave, Ao Qing didn't care about anything else and quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, who doesn't know your great name?"

"This matter is none other than yours, fellow Daoist. If you have any concerns, please feel free to speak them."

The subtext is that you should make any requests you have, and as long as the conditions are reasonable and not too outrageous, the sea tribe will most likely agree.

Hearing him say that, Li Zhirui naturally didn't hold back and put forward a lot of conditions, which was completely taking advantage of his misfortune.

But you could also say that you're asking for an exorbitant price and waiting for the other party to haggle.

Surprisingly, while Ao Qing opposed some of the conditions, he was not so vehement in his stance on most of them.

In his view, although Li Zhirui offered many conditions, most of them were demands for spiritual objects, magical techniques, or territory, none of which he agreed to.

The situation at the Western Sea Eye was indeed critical, and he didn't want to waste too much time on it; it was just some spiritual objects and techniques.

In fact, even Li Zhirui didn't expect Ao Qing to agree so quickly. Now it seems that the situation in Xihai is indeed very bad.

"I will immediately notify my clan to send what you require."

Ao Qing said, "In that case, fellow Daoist, would you please come with me to the Western Sea as soon as possible?"

"Okay." Having come this far, how could Li Zhirui refuse? He had no choice but to agree.

The group set off and arrived outside Wanxian Mountain, where they saw Ao Qing summon a small spirit boat.

"Fellow Daoist, do not underestimate this spirit boat. When it is fully unleashed, it can travel 100,000 miles a day! The entire sea race has only three such boats, and the entire Yuanling Realm probably has no more than 20."

Of course, this is on the premise of providing sufficient spiritual energy.

In other words, the spirit boat is too small, it can only hold three or four people at most, and the consumption is too great, even if ordinary forces have it, they cannot afford to supply it.

Otherwise, it would definitely be a great flying artifact.

"Fellow Taoist, please!"

Li Zhirui nodded and flew into the spirit boat. The interior space was indeed small, and the two of them felt a bit crowded.

"Fellow Daoist, it's ready!"

With a whoosh, the spirit boat vanished in an instant at breakneck speed.

Because Ao Qing needed to concentrate on piloting the spirit boat, there was no way to chat with him. Li Zhirui could only close his eyes and rest, while simultaneously accelerating the cultivation of a batch of purifying spirit objects in the space, in preparation for any eventuality.

Since the sea creatures are wealthy and can reimburse these expenses, why not prepare more?

They traveled in silence, and in just a few days, they traveled from the east of the Eastern Continent to the heart of the Western Sea, traversing countless miles.

"Fellow Daoist, we've arrived!"

As soon as Ao Qing spoke, Li Zhirui, whose soul was still in the space, instantly came back and stood up, saying, "Then let's go."

Then, as soon as he came out, he was overwhelmed by a stench so strong that he felt dizzy and had to use his purifying spiritual light to feel better.

"What's going on?" Li Zhirui's face was full of surprise and disbelief.

Looking around, all the sea areas that could be seen had turned into murky, foul-smelling black water. The closer you got to the eye of the sea, the darker the color and the more unpleasant the smell became.

And the position they are standing in now is directly above the eye of the sea.

Ao Qing, standing to the side, looked not only shocked but also relieved.

Fortunately, he listened to Ao Huang's advice and asked this Celestial Immortal cultivator to come as quickly as possible. If it had just been Bai He who had to take action, he would have been powerless in this situation!
"You are finally here!"

A beam of light flew in from not far away; the newcomer was none other than Ao Huang! (End of Chapter)
