Chapter 1157 - 1047: Confrontation_2
The Purifying White Lotus grew incredibly fast, blooming in the blink of an eye, then just as quickly withering away into a black, lifeless object.
Li Zhirui instantly knew why the White Lotus had withered; it wasn’t that the Lotus Seed Skill was ineffective. On the contrary, in this tainted land, the Lotus Seed Skill worked exceptionally well, a fact evidenced by the growth speed of the Purifying White Lotus.
But why did the White Lotus wither after all?
Because the grade of the White Lotus was too low, the evil energy accumulated over countless years in this land was far too overwhelming, having already surpassed the limit the White Lotus could endure.
Li Zhirui could immediately think of two solutions; one was to cultivate a higher-grade lotus seed, enhancing the seed’s resistance; the other was to scatter a massive number of lotus seeds, reducing the evil energy in this region.
He could envision that purifying this ’stubborn disease’ – of great severity to the entire Primal Spirit Realm – would surely yield an immense amount of merit.
Perhaps even the legendary merit-based ascension from his previous life could come true!
But Li Zhirui could only daydream about it.
After all, such simple solutions would not have eluded the great powers of the Immortal Tao, and considering the immense interests involved, the fact that they hadn’t acted despite the widespread knowledge of the Lotus Seed Skill for so many years revealed their intentions.
Furthermore, the spot where Li Zhirui stood was but a few steps from the walls of Mountain River City, and still, five hundred li away from the actual battlefield!
