Chapter 1222: Sudden (Not Yet Finished)
The Purifying White Lotus increased in number, the dense Purification Light spread to a radius of a hundred miles, and the originally dense Tribulation Evil Energy started to thin out, as if the heavens and the earth began to improve.
The Heavenly Dao of the Mingshui Realm seemed to become a bit more invigorated, starting to provide Li Zhirui with more support, and constantly urging him to continue his actions.
Li Zhirui was not affected and continued to act according to his own pace.
Moreover, the Heavenly Dao of the Mingshui Realm did not realize that it was currently enjoying the treatment of the Purification Principle, which was not only false and useless, but also accelerated the invasion of the Heavenly Dao of the Primal Spirit Realm!
One must understand, the Purification Principle comprehended by Li Zhirui originated from the Primal Spirit Realm, it seems no different, but in fact, the root is distinct, bearing the imprint of the Primal Spirit Realm!
Perhaps the Heavenly Dao of the Mingshui Realm knew it was like drinking poison to quench thirst, yet had no better option, after all, continuing to fall into ruin would be a dead end.
As time advanced, a large number of Purifying White Lotus began to mature, their seeds naturally falling off, carried by the gentle breeze summoned by Li Zhirui, expanding the coverage of Purification Spirit Light.
Li Zhirui sat stably and did not need to compete with others; he only needed to patiently utilize Divine Power, communicate the Laws, and during the realm merging, he could gain a significant advantage.
Meanwhile, other forces needed to deploy various complicated Great Arrays, and also communicate with the Heavenly Dao of the Primal Spirit Realm, during which they had to prevent others from sabotaging, much more troublesome compared to him.
Of course, to increase their weight, Xiaoqing and the others were now also doing the same thing.
In other words, the Li family had two entirely different methods, and both were very effective. Coupled with the assistance of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they could be considered to be employing a three-pronged approach.
And if all goes as expected, during the Traction of the Taixu Illusionary Realm and the merging of the Mingshui Realm, the Li family would be the biggest beneficiary!
"Your family is truly full of surprises! To actually gain such a clear advantage in the competition with the Cave Abyss Sect and the Sea Clan." A certain official of the Great Zhou Dynasty couldn't help but say, looking at the Taixu Illusionary Realm in the sky that was gradually moving towards Shanhai State.
"Just some minor tactics, not worth mentioning." Li Guangjie chuckled, though his tone was somewhat evasive, his smile was genuine.
Others were unaware of Li Zhirui's methods, how could he not know?
The only concern was the reactions of the Sea Clan and the Cave Abyss Sect; seeing the Li family's favorable situation, they would surely act to sabotage.
However, the family had already made arrangements beforehand, choosing to keep Jiang Fengwu and Li Mingyao in the clan territory, not entering the Taixu Illusionary Realm, precisely to prepare against them.
And indeed, things developed as Li Guangjie and others had predicted, the Sea Clan and the Cave Abyss Sect began taking action, seeking ways to disrupt this advantageous situation for the Li family.
Now that the Taixu Illusionary Realm was inaccessible, they targeted the Li family externally!
Especially for that Traction Array, responding internally and externally, if the external formation could be destroyed, the Li family would lose their chance of competing.
However, the Traction Array was located at Mount Wanxian, within the Li Clan territory, they were unlikely to attack unless they intended to truly wage war and annihilate the Li family.
So they could only find opportunities to probe and distract the Li family's attention.
The Li family's response focused on defense, not initiating attacks, and holding the geographical advantage, as long as no internal issues arose, with the protection of Immortal City and formations, the clan members' casualty rate would be much lower.
Those from the Great Zhou Dynasty stood by observing, they would not intervene, but through this opportunity, gained a clearer understanding of the Li family's strength.
The Li family's power was more formidable than the intelligence gathered by the Dynasty!
It's unclear whether it was rapid development over the years or a prior concealment.
'Perhaps furthering cooperation with the Li family could be beneficial?' the leading envoy silently thought to himself.
War between the Great Zhou and the Cave Abyss Sect, impossible to end in the short term!
Neither side could annihilate the other, and the previous ceasefire agreement was fiercely torn apart by the Great Zhou, who seized significant territory from the Cave Abyss Sect, trust was scarce.
Since that is the case, the only option is to employ unconventional tactics, strengthen alliances, to increase their chances of victory.
Moreover, the Li family, having border conflicts with the Cave Abyss Sect prior and holding some strength, was the best choice.
However, such major matters were beyond his decision, awaiting the consideration of the Emperor and Prime Minister and others, he merely had an idea.
...
In the Mingshui Realm.
As time passed, most cultivators from the Cave Abyss Sect, Sea Clan, and Li family had already gathered, various pre-arranged formations sprang up.
But simultaneously, many Demon Cultivators and Devil Beasts appeared, seemingly having lost their minds, they only knew to destroy everything.
Fortunately, their strength was not too great, not causing significant trouble, easily resolved.
But their joy was short-lived, increasingly powerful Demon Cultivators and Devil Beasts began obstructing their actions, they only wanted the world to perish, even being devoured, vanishing forever wouldn't suffice.
Among them were certain maliciously intentioned beings, such as the Sea Clan appearing in the Li family.
Besides these lunatics, there were a few people left in the Mingshui Realm, they were those whose cultivation was inadequate to escape, now thinking of seizing Mingshui Realm's resources, having one last desperate attempt.
In these people's eyes, these outsiders like the Li family were enemies, for they would seize what little resources remained in the Mingshui Realm.
