Capítulo 1829: Chapter 1383: Earth Element (Part 2)
From where does the Spiritual Energy in these regions originate? It is produced by the Earth Core and Earth Nucleus.
The previous ascension of the Primal Spirit Realm, which caused the world's Spiritual Energy to become more plentiful, was also due to the strengthening of the Earth Core and Earth Nucleus.
In addition to these two primary sources of Spiritual Energy, there is the conversion of Chaotic Spiritual Energy into nature’s spiritual energy by All Stars, though this serves as a secondary supplement.
“Ancestor Rui, are you able to clear the pollution within the Earth Core and Earth Nucleus?” Li Mingyao questioned him, his eyes filled with anticipation.
As an Earth God, his devotion to and concern for the land were naturally more profound.
Li Zhirui shook his head in response. “I am only capable of purifying the corrupted energy that has gathered within your bodies. Regarding the entirety of the Primal Spirit Realm, my current power is insufficient to handle something of that scale.”
The Earth Core and Earth Nucleus are vital components of the realm; reaching them involves navigating countless lethal barriers and checkpoints. Furthermore, his current physical body cannot withstand the extreme pressure and gravitational forces found in such an environment!
Consequently, it is impossible for him to even draw near them, let alone make direct contact!
“I know someone who can assist us! With the help of this Lady, Ancestor Rui, you should be able to reach the Earth Core and Earth Nucleus safely,” Li Mingyao spoke quickly.
“Who is it?” Li Zhirui felt curious. Within the Primal Spirit Realm, aside from the already transcended Doumu Lord, was there another female powerhouse deserving of the title 'Lady'?
“The Earth Element Lady!”
Li Zhirui paused at the name, searching his memories for a moment before recalling this remarkably quiet goddess.
In the Divine Path, she possessed immense power and held very high seniority. She was not only the head of the Earth God faction but also governed the Yin God faction within the Netherworld Underworld.
These two factions were formidable forces, recognized as top-tier entities within the Divine Path!
Despite her status as a Great God, there were very few legends about her in the world, which proved how low-key she remained.
If Li Zhirui hadn't spent significant effort researching the Divine Path when Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo became Divines, he would have been unaware of the Earth Element Lady mentioned by Li Mingyao.
Da Qing, Li Liangxiang, and the various Elders looked confused, as they had never heard of her.
“This Lady keeps to herself and hasn't appeared before the world for ages. Are you able to meet her?”
Li Mingyao wavered slightly; he had only caught a glimpse of the Earth Element Lady during a Divine Conference many years ago and knew she was Cultivating in the depths of the Netherworld.
He lacked confidence regarding whether he could secure an audience or if she would agree to help Ancestor Rui reach the Earth Core.
He was motivated by his duty as a Divine to preserve universal balance, seeking a solution without fully considering if it was achievable.
“I will make an attempt first. If it fails, we will have to abandon the idea,” Li Mingyao said after a moment of hesitation, choosing to follow his heart.
“Very well,” Li Zhirui replied, offering no objection. If the plan succeeded, it would benefit him by gaining Merit and the favor of the Heavenly Dao.
Should it fail, no disaster would befall him.
They went their separate ways after Li Zhirui spent some time catching up on the significant events that occurred in the Primal Spirit Realm during his absence.
Meanwhile, Li Mingyao had already departed and reached the Netherworld Underworld.
Tubo, the manager of the Underworld, was the person most likely to know the location of the Earth Element Lady’s Cultivation.
Tubo was no mere Great God of the Heavenly Immortal Realm; he served as the Earth Element Lady’s representative. He managed the Underworld and the Yin God faction while also supervising the Earth God faction, holding immense authority.
Because of this, securing a meeting with him was quite difficult.
By using a combination of bribery and intimidation, Li Mingyao managed to see Tubo after several days.
“What is this urgent matter regarding the future of the Primal Spirit Realm that you spoke of?”
Though it was a simple question, the pressure it exerted was so heavy that Li Mingyao had to focus his spirit to withstand it while answering. “The previous incident where the Demonic Tao polluted various Spirit Veins is surely known to you, Senior. My current business is related to that!”
“Hmm?” The crushing aura in the hall vanished instantly.
“Upon the return of my clan's ancestor today, a trace of polluted aura was found lingering in the world. Since the Spirit Veins have already been purified, our investigation suggests the source of this pollution is likely the Earth Core and Earth Nucleus!”
Tubo’s expression turned grave. His eyes narrowed as he looked down at Li Mingyao. “Are you implying your ancestor suspects the Earth Core and Earth Nucleus are contaminated?”
Before the meeting, Tubo had reviewed Li Mingyao’s background. He knew the ancestor in question was currently the only Heavenly Immortal in the Primal Spirit Realm specializing in the Purification Principle.
While his Cultivation level did not match Tubo’s, the concept of being a specialist in a specific field was not lost on the manager, causing Tubo to take the matter seriously.
After a moment of thought, Tubo said, “Go back for now. I will visit the Earth Element Lady to discuss this. If she agrees, I will contact you.”
“Understood, I shall depart,” Li Mingyao said firmly. He knew he had done his part; the outcome was now out of his hands.
As a mere Earth Immortal, he was powerless, and even a Heavenly Immortal could do little more.
Once he left, Tubo used an Escape Skill to reach the deepest part of the Underworld, arriving at a simple-looking courtyard.
Knock, knock, knock—
The sound of knocking rang out in the empty, desolate area. Combined with the dark, ghostly surroundings, it created a chilling atmosphere.
“Lady, I have urgent news to discuss!” Tubo spoke slowly, his voice adding to the tension.
“Enter.”
After a short silence, a voice that was both gentle and powerful came from within, and the wooden door swung open.
Stepping inside, one could see a goddess sitting on a mat. She wore a yellow palace gown decorated with mountain patterns. Her appearance was elegant and refined, radiating a magnificent grace.
“Has something major happened once again?”
Tubo bowed. “No, this is information brought by an Earth God...”
He repeated Li Mingyao’s report exactly as it was told, without adding any details.
“The Earth Core and Earth Nucleus are polluted?”
The Earth Element Lady’s brow furrowed. The importance of those two locations was absolute. How could there be trouble given the many protections placed by the Heavenly Dao?
However, she could not ignore the words of a Heavenly Immortal who specialized in the Purification Principle. What if the threat was real?
“I will conduct a thorough investigation first. If there is indeed an issue, invite that Fellow Daoist from the Li family here!” the Earth Element Lady commanded with great seriousness.
The state of the Earth Core and Earth Nucleus affected not just the Primal Spirit Realm’s growth, but also the Earth Gods themselves!
If a problem truly existed, they would be the first to suffer the consequences.
If this person could resolve the issue, he deserved their full attention.
“Yes!” Tubo agreed immediately, recognizing the gravity of the situation.
The Earth Element Lady vanished before his voice even stopped echoing.
Tubo left the courtyard respectfully and returned to the Great Hall of the Underworld, where he sat in deep thought, unable to focus on anything else.
Meanwhile, the Earth Element Lady descended toward the planet's depths. After an unknown amount of time, she reached the location of the Earth Core and Earth Nucleus.
She did not approach immediately. Instead, she produced three sticks of golden incense, lighting them to report the situation to the Heavenly Dao.
Indeed!
Even for her, approaching or contacting the Earth Core and Earth Nucleus required the explicit permission of the Heavenly Dao!
