Chapter 832: Pollution Crisis

"The crisis of the Mountain and Sea Great World has been resolved."

Li Heng withdrew from his communion with the will of the Great Void, his consciousness returning to reality and spreading across the entire Mountain and Sea Great World, causing everything that had been polluted to be restored.

Coupled with the retreat of the wriggling things, the surrounding pitch-black darkness and the Unknown also fell away, dissipating into Emptiness, returning the Mountain and Sea Great World to its original state.

Of course, even so, the Mountain and Sea Great World at this moment was a mess, one could even say it was unrecognizable; various Laws had been polluted and fractured to no small degree.

Yet, this was perhaps the best possible outcome.

The Mountain Spirit and Sea Spirit sighed in their hearts.

Even though the Mountain and Sea Great World was currently a mess, this far exceeded their expectations. After all, in the information unknown to them, there had never been a case where one could return to their original appearance after being polluted by the Disaster and monsters without being completely destroyed.

"Many thanks to the senior for taking action!"

They bowed to Li Heng, knowing this was Li Heng's merit. At this moment, they did not dare to call Li Heng "fellow Daoist," as, looking at the current situation, they were not worthy.

"Han Yao thanks the senior for your help."

Han Yao also stood out and smiled sweetly at Li Heng.

Li Heng glanced at Han Yao and frowned.

"Do you truly think I wouldn't notice?"

Han Yao looked somewhat bewildered upon hearing this.

"I do not know what the senior means by these words; please enlighten me."

"No enlightenment is needed."

Li Heng spoke indifferently, a point of spiritual light flying from his fingertip and sinking into Han Yao's body, straight into her Purple Mansion of the Primordial Spirit, illuminating the wriggling pitch-black darkness within and reshaping a Primordial Spirit that was on the verge of turning into Emptiness.

A struggle immediately appeared on Han Yao's face, her expression ferocious.

"I truly cannot fathom it; you should have left as soon as I hadn't yet had the time to deal with you, and perhaps I would have been too lazy to bother with this matter. Yet you actually dared to stay by my side, attempting to deceive me? Do you really take me for a blind man?"

Li Heng sneered.

Previously, Han Yao had been invaded by the Pollution of the Disaster, gradually alienating a new Primordial Spirit, which could be called Dark Han Yao, and it had occupied a dominant position, controlling this body.

He had seen this matter with his own eyes.

It was just that at the time, he was busy analyzing that Great Power and also had to contend with the attacks of the wriggling things, so he did not pay it any mind for the moment. But now that he had freed up his hands, since this Dark Han Yao dared to stay by his side and court death, he would deal with it while he was at it.

The look of struggle on Han Yao's face did not last for more than a few seconds before she returned to calm.

She showed respect to Li Heng.

"Many thanks to the senior for taking action to save Han Yao's life!"

Han Yao had lingering fears, realizing that if it weren't for Li Heng's intervention, she would definitely have been devoured by the dark Primordial Spirit alienated by that Pollution and completely turned into Emptiness.

A new, polluted version of herself replacing the original self...

This was simply more terrifying than death.

"You shouldn't thank me; you should thank her stupidity for taking me for a blind man," Li Heng said calmly.

The Mountain Spirit and Sea Spirit beside them were somewhat astonished.

Honestly, just now they had not detected anything unusual about Han Yao; she had disguised herself so well that they both felt she had always been her original self, with her soul and True Spirit aura being no different.

But looking at it now, had they misjudged?

This made no sense; they were, after all, beings infinitely close to the Supreme, and even if they had fallen into misfortune, their realm was still there, so why could they not see it?

Could it be that the Pollution of the Disaster and the monsters was hidden extremely deep?

Then, was this an isolated case or did it represent the majority?

Realizing the importance of this question, they hurriedly told Li Heng their speculations and explained the situation in some of the Infinite Known Lands.

Li Heng could not help but frown.

"You mean to say that over endless years, many powerhouses have also suffered from the Pollution of the Disaster and monsters, but were very lucky to have survived, and even used this to advance further?"

The Mountain Spirit and Sea Spirit nodded.

"That is correct; if we know correctly, many of those powerhouses have even reached the Supreme level and are renowned. If they have all had problems..."

The two felt a chill run down their spines.

Li Heng was silent for a moment.

If this were truly the case, then it would indeed be a major event. At the very least, it would be a major event for all living beings in the Infinite Known Lands; could the supreme powerhouses have already been polluted?

Of course, it was also possible that this was making a mountain out of a molehill.

After all, what kind of realm is the Supreme? Is it something that can be polluted just by saying so, or replaced just by saying so? Furthermore, could one successfully attain the Supreme Dao after being polluted?

Could it be that that group of the Great Void has always been blind?

Therefore, this possibility is extremely small.

But one must be on guard!

"Seniors, I suddenly remembered one thing, which is that the Supreme Elder of my sect also encountered the Pollution of the Disaster and monsters in the past..."

Han Yao said with a deathly pale face.

It would have been fine if she didn't know, but once she knew, she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild. She thought carefully and realized that her own Supreme Elder was also among the suspected targets, and she immediately panicked.

"Oh? You said before that your Supreme Elder is a Half-step Supreme?" Li Heng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"That is correct." Han Yao nodded.

"Your sect also has a very large library?"

Li Heng continued to ask.

"Indeed." Han Yao nodded.

"Then do you have any excellent Blessed Land and Grotto-Heaven there that is suitable for cultivation?" Li Heng continued to ask.

"Blessed Land and Grotto-Heaven? Do you mean a place for an existence like you to cultivate? This..." Han Yao appeared somewhat bewildered. The strongest in their sect was only a Half-step Supreme; how could they possess a cultivation site of the Supreme level?

However, after thinking about it, she suddenly recalled a rumor.

"Reporting to Senior, as far as I know, the place where our sect is located seems to be the former cave dwelling of a supreme being from before the Great Cataclysm; perhaps it could satisfy Senior's cultivation needs?"

Han Yao said a few words tentatively.

She sold out her own sect in the process.

However, because of the previous incidents, she felt no psychological burden at all in selling them out.

"That is acceptable."

Li Heng thought for a moment and said thoughtfully.

He needed some preparation to comprehend the Fundamental Great Dao inheritance within the Light of the Great Dao, so that he could achieve twice the result with half the effort. Although it was not strictly necessary, he could choose a good place if one existed.

Originally, he had wanted the Great Void will to prepare these things, to directly have them gather the Great Dao and create an extremely special place for Dao enlightenment right here.

But this group of Great Void wills seemed very busy; after giving him a promise, they hurriedly left. They only said that if he intended to use the Light of the Great Dao for enlightenment, he could ask them for help, but they would only assist with enlightenment and nothing else.

Therefore, if this Han Yao's sect really had a so-called Dongtian Fudi sufficient to provide for supreme-level cultivation, and also had a massive book drum for him to investigate the secrets of events, while also checking if this so-called Supreme Elder had any problems...

Perhaps going there would not be out of the question?

"Since that is the case, I shall pay a visit to your sect; it just so happens I have some things to do."

Li Heng spoke up and said.
