Li Zhirui, fearing unknown dangers and powerful beings behind the Mystic Immortals, leaves the Cloud Continent and travels north. Before departing, he spreads information about a "Lotus Seed Skill" capable of purification and merit, along with simplified instructions, across the continent. This attracts loose cultivators eager for easy gains, while some established factions recognize the technique's potential to break monopolies but also heed warnings to avoid the Cloud Continent, sensing a hidden danger.

Perhaps some cautious monks realized something was amiss and suspected there might be a scheme behind this, so they chose not to go to Cloud Continent.

But most low-level cultivators were not aware of this perception, so countless cultivators flocked into the Cloud Continent and eagerly exhibited their proficient, or not-so-proficient, Lotus Seed Skill.

For a while, the heavens and earth of Cloud Continent became much purer.

And they indeed gained corresponding merit through this process.

Such an easy and simple method made these cultivators more excited and passionate, as they could resolve their karma in this manner without having to risk fighting others.

In order to achieve their goals as quickly as possible, their actions in displaying the Lotus Seed Skill became faster and more industrious.

But this situation made another group of cultivators with opposite aims extremely angry.

"Damn it!"

A certain Profound Immortal roared in extreme anger: "Why did so many cultivators come from Guangzhou, and each is displaying some kind of purification method?"

This severely disrupted their series of subsequent plans, to the point where some things couldn’t continue.

"It should be the arrangement of the Tongtian Sect Leader," Bai Ba suddenly spoke up.

Everyone agreed, as apart from them, only this monk knew the situation in Cloud Continent and had the ability to resolve the problem.

But none of them could understand why Li Zhirui would do this, after all, there wasn’t much benefit for him.

It couldn’t be simply because he couldn’t bear to see the so-called pollution, yet was unwilling to get entangled in karma, that he used such means?

"Better think carefully about how to solve the current trouble; if we don’t drive away this group of low-level cultivators, we won’t be able to complete our subsequent plans."

But facing this group of low-level cultivators, they couldn’t just kill them all; otherwise, if bound by karma, the problem might become more serious.

Besides, all that remained was forcibly driving them away.

And to make sure they wouldn’t dare to offend again, they had to kill a few loose cultivators to achieve the objective of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.

They did exactly that, and initially, it worked very well, as those low-level cultivators indeed felt fearful and dared not approach Cloud Continent.

But as time went on, the effect became less significant!

Those low-level cultivators, after several attempts, quickly discovered a pattern; actually, those high-level cultivators wouldn’t guard the borders, and their response was slow.

As long as they didn’t stay in the Cloud Continent for too long or dispersed throughout the Cloud Continent, those high-level cultivators would have to rush back and forth, wasting a lot of time on the road.

And they could use this method of gambling with their own luck to neutralize their own karma in Cloud Continent.

After all, fighting with cultivators of the same realm also carries the risk of falling.

Comparatively, the former offers a higher chance of survival.

Because there were simply too many low-level cultivators entering Cloud Continent, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, and as time passed, the influx of low-level cultivators into Cloud Continent continued to increase.

This was a probability of one in hundreds of thousands, naturally safer than battling with fellow cultivators.

And as the situation developed to this point, like a torrent, it was no longer something that could be stopped by these few Profound Immortals.

Hovering mid-air, looking down at the densely packed heads on the ground, all the Profound Immortals had bitter expressions.

"It is said Divine Power cannot compete with fate, yet people tend to forget the will of man prevails over heaven!"

Elder Xuan’s eyes were filled with bitterness, revealing endless desolation. He never thought that after so many arrangements and countless schemes, enduring endless pain, he would ultimately lose to this group of ants that he never paid any attention to.

Many years ago, coming from humble beginnings, Elder Xuan experienced countless hardships and torment, paying a huge price, finally cultivating to the peak of the Profound Immortal Realm.

Just when he was confident and planned to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, he discovered shocking bad news: due to various hidden dangers left in his body earlier, all of them erupted at this time, causing his path to be halted with almost no further possibility or opportunity.

For such a result, no living being is willing to accept, let alone the proud Elder Xuan.

But after countless efforts and continual attempts, there was still no sign of breakthrough; in the end, he could only accept this result.

But he didn’t give up!

Since the Immortal path was broken and impassable, then he would try other paths, Elder Xuan didn’t believe there was no way to resolve his problem.

So over the countless years, he used numerous methods, acquiring countless cultivation techniques leading to the Golden Immortal Realm from the Demonic Tao, Divine Path, Devil Race, and more, and devoted himself fully.

But the final outcome was still not good news, as they couldn’t solve his problem.

At this point, Elder Xuan has mastered various paths. His talent is extraordinary, and his perseverance is rarely seen in history!

This is also why, back then, when he heard of Tongtian Sect, he thought of that ancient sect that disappeared tens of thousands of years ago.

Under such circumstances, he made a very bold decision: since he couldn’t find a solution in the inheritances left by his predecessors, he would create one himself!

After countless days and nights of deduction, Elder Xuan finally found a solution.
