Chapter 30 Sealing Successful
Under the effect of the purifying light, the Qilin's struggles lessened, and the evil aura on its body continued to fade away.
Xu Xiaoxiao stopped what she was doing, looking at the Qilin with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation, silently chanting in her heart, "The purification must be completed, so that we can save Lingxu City."
Her wound was still throbbing, but she couldn't care less at the moment.
Li Changchun was completely focused on maintaining the power of the light orb, his forehead covered in sweat, his eyes firm and focused. He knew that this was a critical moment and there was no room for the slightest slack.
As the last trace of evil energy dissipated, the Qilin's eyes regained their clarity, and it slowly landed on the ground, no longer aggressive.
Li Changchun breathed a sigh of relief and said wearily, "It's finally back to normal."
Xu Xiaoxiao ran to Li Changchun's side, looked at the Qilin, and asked in surprise and delight, "Master, has it been purified?"
Li Changchun nodded: "It should be. This is all thanks to you for drawing it away and buying me time."
He looked at Xu Xiaoxiao with satisfaction, his eyes full of approval.
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled shyly: "Master, this is the result of our joint efforts. So how do we reinforce the seal now?"
Her heart was filled with curiosity and anticipation for the next step.
Li Changchun looked at the Heart of Spiritual Origin: "If we take the purified Heart of Spiritual Origin back to the seal and integrate it into the seal, we should be able to stabilize it."
So the two carefully collected the Heart of Spiritual Source and quickly headed to the sealed place with it.
Along the way, Xu Xiaoxiao felt much more relaxed. Thinking that Lingxu City would soon return to peace, she felt a great sense of accomplishment: "Once the seal is reinforced, Lingxu City will be as peaceful as before. All our efforts will have been worthwhile."
Li Changchun was also gratified, as his apprentice was a person with a strong sense of righteousness. However, he was also thinking about whether there were other hidden dangers behind this incident. But looking at the energetic Xu Xiaoxiao beside him, he felt that as long as the master and apprentice worked together, they could cope with any difficulties they encountered.
Li Changchun and Xu Xiaoxiao rushed to the sealed land without stopping.
Looking at the faintly glowing sealing patterns beneath her feet, Xu Xiaoxiao felt both nervous and excited. She thought, "This is the key to protecting Lingxu City. We will soon be able to complete our final mission."
Li Changchun looked solemn. After carefully observing the condition of the seal, he said to Xu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, I will introduce the Spirit Source Heart into the seal later. You will protect me from the side. If there is anything unusual, inform me immediately."
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously: "Master, don't worry, I will do my best to protect you."
She gripped her longsword tightly, scanning her surroundings warily.
Li Changchun took a deep breath, formed hand seals, and chanted incantations as he slowly offered up the purified Spiritual Source Heart.
The Spiritual Source Heart floated in mid-air, emitting a soft yet powerful light, gradually approaching the seal.
Just as the Heart of Spiritual Origin was about to merge with the seal, the ground suddenly trembled violently, and a black smoke billowed out from the seal, within which countless vengeful spirits seemed to be struggling and roaring.
Xu Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "Master, what's going on?" Her voice trembled slightly, her heart filled with fear and unease.
Li Changchun frowned and shouted, "It must be that the seal has been loose for too long, and evil spirits have gathered here to prevent us from reinforcing the seal. Xiaoxiao, don't panic, we can't let our efforts go to waste."
He quickened his hand movements, attempting to forcefully integrate the Heart of Spiritual Origin into the seal.
However, the vengeful spirits gathered in greater numbers, forming black vortexes that constantly assaulted Li Changchun and Xu Xiaoxiao.
Xu Xiaoxiao mustered her courage, brandished her longsword, and slashed at the approaching vengeful spirits: "I will not let you succeed!"
She encouraged herself and tried her best to overcome her inner fear.
Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao's courage, Li Changchun felt both gratified and worried.
While resisting the onslaught of evil spirits, he shouted to Xu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, use your spiritual power to infuse the sealing patterns under your feet to strengthen the seal. I will restrain these evil spirits."
Just as Li Changchun and Xu Xiaoxiao were about to give up, several streaks of light rushed towards them from the distant sky.
It turned out that the cultivators in the city had noticed the unusual fluctuations in spiritual energy here and rushed to help.
An elderly cultivator arrived first and, seeing the scene before him, shouted, "Don't panic! We're here to help you!"
Other cultivators also responded, each unleashing their unique skills. In an instant, various colored lights collided with the vengeful spirits, producing bursts of booming sounds.
A surge of hope and emotion welled up in Xu Xiaoxiao's heart. She said loudly, "Seniors, thank you for coming to help us. We must defend Lingxu City!"
If these vengeful spirits are allowed to escape, they will harm countless people, so we must hold fast to them.
Her eyes regained their firm light, and she wielded her longsword with even greater force, her previously weary body seemingly filled with renewed strength.
Seeing that help had arrived, Li Changchun felt somewhat relieved. He called out to the cultivators, "Everyone, the evil spirits are powerful. Let's work together to dispel these vengeful spirits first, and then I will integrate the Heart of Spiritual Source into the seal!"
After saying that, his spiritual power surged, forming a protective barrier that temporarily blocked the attack of the vengeful spirit.
Upon hearing this, the cultivators quickly adjusted their tactics, forming a circle to protect Li Changchun and Xu Xiaoxiao in the middle. At the same time, they gathered their spiritual power together, transforming it into a huge beam of purifying light that rushed towards the horde of vengeful spirits.
Faced with this powerful force, the vengeful spirits let out mournful cries and gradually dissipated.
With the vengeful spirits dispelled, Li Changchun seized the opportunity and successfully integrated the Heart of Spiritual Origin into the seal.
In an instant, the seal shone brightly, and the loose seal became firm again, its eerie light shimmering as if telling of the return of peace.
Looking at the solid seal, Xu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and a relieved smile appeared on her face: "This time, Lingxu City is safe."
She felt a great sense of accomplishment, and looking back on this difficult journey, she knew that she had grown a lot on the path of cultivation.
Li Changchun clasped his hands in a salute to the cultivators: "This time, we are very grateful for the righteous help of all of you fellow cultivators. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for my master and me to succeed, and the people of Lingxu City would have been in danger."
I, Li Changchun, will forever remember this kindness.
The cultivators returned the greeting, and one of them said with a smile, "Protecting Lingxu City is our common responsibility. You and your disciple were so brave, so we should do our best to assist you. Now that the crisis has been resolved, it is a blessing for the whole city."
With the seal secured, the crisis in Lingxu City was completely resolved.
When the people of the city learned that it was the combined efforts of Li Changchun and his disciples, along with many other cultivators, who came to their aid, they flocked to the streets to welcome them.
Looking at the cheering crowd, Xu Xiaoxiao felt a surge of joy and pride. She thought, "All the hardships along the way were worth it. It's wonderful to be able to protect so many people." A bright smile spread across her face.
Li Changchun nodded to the surrounding people with a look of satisfaction.
At this moment, several elders from the city arrived. The elder in the lead said, "Fellow Daoist Li and your master have made an invaluable contribution, saving Lingxu City from disaster. Our city will certainly reward you accordingly."
Li Changchun quickly declined, saying, "Elder, you are too kind. Protecting Lingxu City is our duty, and there is no need for thanks. This experience has been very rewarding for both my master and me, and that is enough."
He felt that this was the duty of a cultivator and did not seek any reward.
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement: "Yes, Elder, we are very happy to see that everyone is safe and sound."
Seeing that they were determined not to accept, the elder said, "Very well then. In that case, this city will record your merits in the Immortal Cultivator Alliance. If you have any needs in the future, please feel free to ask."
Surrounded by a crowd, Li Changchun and Xu Xiaoxiao stayed in Lingxu City for a few days, during which they exchanged ideas with the cultivators in the city and shared their insights and gains from this experience.
Xu Xiaoxiao said to Li Changchun, "Master, after this experience, I have a deeper understanding of cultivation. I want to cultivate even harder so that I can protect more people in the future." Her eyes were filled with longing and determination for the future.
Li Changchun smiled at her and said, "Okay, Xiaoxiao, your heart is truly precious. The path of cultivation is long, and we should all keep our original intentions."
