Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1830 - 1384: Slow Progress

One must realize that the Earth Element Lady is already a highly respected Divine figure. Regardless of the perspective, her interests are perfectly aligned with the Heavenly Dao and the entirety of the Primal Spirit Realm.

Despite her status, however, she is forbidden from approaching this location without cause.

The significance of the Earth Core and Earth Heart to the Primal Spirit Realm is immense; their value is likely surpassed only by the Sea of Laws or the Heavenly Dao Origin itself.

After spending time in prayer and clarifying her intentions to the Heavenly Dao, permission was finally granted for the Earth Element Lady to enter.

Maintaining a wary posture, she stepped into the area with great caution.

Once inside, a massive, ochre-colored sphere met her gaze. To a casual observer, it appeared quite mundane, resembling a common boulder one might find in the wilderness.

Yet, a closer inspection by someone intimately familiar with the geography of the Primal Spirit Realm would reveal something shocking: the dense network of ridges and depressions on its surface corresponds perfectly with the world's actual rivers and mountains.

Deep within this unassuming Earth Core rests a brilliantly glowing, crystalline Earth Heart.

With every sluggish revolution of the Earth Core and every faint pulse of the Earth Heart, a staggering volume of Spiritual Energy is dispersed throughout the Primal Spirit Realm.

A staggering array of Restrictions surrounds them; it is no hyperbole to claim that every known Restriction in existence is represented here.

Should Jiang Fengwu or other Array Masters ever discover this location, they would surely fall into a frenzy, as it represents the ultimate holy land for their Cultivation!

Regrettably, given their social standing and current fates, they could never hope to visit this place, let alone learn of its existence.

Moving on!

Upon her arrival, the Earth Element Lady unfurled her entire Divine Sense, focusing her full attention on checking the Earth Core for any signs of corruption.

After a significant interval, she opened her eyes. Her face was pale and worn, reflecting the heavy burden of her findings.

The Earth Core had indeed been tainted! Furthermore, the damage was quite extensive.

On the surface of the Earth Core, the Earth Element Lady identified more than thirty tiny black streaks, each radiating a faint, repulsive aura.

"Those cursed Demon Cultivators!" she hissed, her usual composure breaking into a curse.

She was well aware, of course, that the Demonic Tao alone could not have corrupted the Earth Core; other factors must be at play.

For instance, the sheer volume of accumulated filth, malice, and Karmic Forces within the Primal Spirit Realm had reached a breaking point. The previous sabotage of the Spirit Vein by the Demonic Tao likely acted as nothing more than a spark.

Still, the exact mechanics of the corruption remained somewhat a mystery to her.

The Earth Element Lady did not depart immediately. Instead, she steadied her Mental State, replenished her drained Qi, and initiated a second sweep.

This time, her focus shifted from the Earth Core to the depths within, seeking to determine if the Earth Heart itself had been reached by the rot.

If the Earth Heart were compromised, the situation would escalate into something far more grueling and difficult to resolve.

Even a Heavenly Immortal specializing in the Purification Principle might find such a crisis impossible to fix.

To her relief, the inspection revealed that the Earth Heart remained pure.

Had she not caught this in time, however, a few more centuries of neglect would have allowed the filth to seep inward, eventually poisoning the Earth Heart.

"Phew—"

Letting out a long breath, the Earth Element Lady whispered, "I hope we are not too late; a remedy still exists. If not, the entire Primal Spirit Realm faces a catastrophe of epic proportions!"

Following this realization, she slowly backed out and hurried back to the Yin Realm Underworld.

"Tubo, go to the Li family at once and invite that Heavenly Immortal to discuss a solution!"

While seated in the hall managing administrative tasks, Tubo suddenly heard her voice echoing in his mind.

She had reached out to him the moment she returned, wasting not a single breath.

"Understood!"

Tubo gave his assent and set off toward the Li family immediately, thinking to himself: 'The situation must be dire...'

In a mere fifteen minutes, he arrived at the outskirts of Mount Wanxian.

Tubo could have easily phased through the defenses if he wished, but out of respect for the Li family—and because this was the primary Divine Domain of Li Mingyao—he chose a more formal approach.

There was no need for a loud announcement; simply releasing a ripple of his aura was enough for Li Mingyao to sense him. Inside the mountain, the message was sent to the Clan Leader to fetch Li Zhirui, while Li Mingyao himself went out to greet the visitor.

"Greetings, Senior!"

Seeing Tubo at the gates of Mount Wanxian made the urgency clear, so Li Mingyao bypassed unnecessary questions and said, "I have already dispatched a messenger to request Ancestor Rui to end his seclusion. Would you care to join me inside the mountain while we wait?"

"Very well."

Tubo gave a slight nod and followed Li Mingyao into the heart of Mount Wanxian.

From the outside, the mountain appeared normal, but once one bypassed the Formation, it felt as though they had entered a Yun Hai. The entire peak seemed to be buoyed by clouds, drifting high above the mortal world.

Periodically, a soft wind would part the mist, revealing a mountain landscape that was both ethereal and enchanting.

A stream resembling liquid white jade wound its way silently through the terrain, its spray glinting like jewels under the sunbeams filtering through the cloud cover.

Various Spirit Beasts, including Phoenix Birds, White Cranes, and Flood Dragons, could be seen playing within the Yun Hai, infusing the scene with vitality.

As a veteran Heavenly Immortal, Tubo had witnessed many magnificent sights, so the grandeur of Mount Wanxian only earned a few appreciative glances from him.

Nonetheless, for a recently established Heavenly Immortal Family, the layout and atmosphere of the Li Family Territory were truly impressive.
