Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1899 - 1418: Pending Cultivation_2
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
Li Zhirui steadied his condition first, then sent his Divine Sense into the illusions formed by the Sea of Laws, searching for the suitable Law to grasp.
Creatures lacking enough Cultivation or with feeble Spiritual Soul power face a real challenge in understanding the Laws and pushing forward in their Realm. That's when the true power of this Illusion reveals itself.
Primarily designed to let lower-level beings safely and easily understand the Laws, it offers huge advantages to every living thing across the Primal Spirit Realm.
The Wind Dao Law resembles a constant, mysterious, and shifting breeze that seems tough to grasp right away.
Yet truly, engaging with it amounts to understanding the Law itself.
After gaining a bit of insight, Xiaoqing's progress remained modest, though still tolerable. He struggled to come to terms with it.
"If things keep going like this, when will I finally break through to Heavenly Immortal?" He muttered to himself, his voice laced with frustration and fury.
Meanwhile, in Xiaoqing's unguarded Sea of Consciousness, a shadowy figure silently appeared, its Demonic Qi starting to extend from its grasp and corrupt the whole area.
The lotus seed that Li Zhirui had concealed inside Xiaoqing's Sea of Consciousness abruptly trembled, drawing his focus.
"What's this..."
It was only now that Xiaoqing noticed, shocked to realize a Heart Demon had already formed within him!
"Gah gah gah!"
The Heart Demon planned to stay hidden longer, slowly eroding his resolve and Dao Heart while building its own power, until it could outright consume Xiaoqing's Spiritual Soul and turn him into nothing more than its helpless foundation.
However, for some unknown reason, it got exposed prematurely!
With no other option, the Heart Demon scrapped its original scheme and launched a direct assault without hiding anymore, forming the Heart Demon Illusion Realm and dragging Xiaoqing right inside.
The move happened so fast that he barely had time to respond, just sensing a abrupt blackout in his vision, and when his eyes opened again, it was as if he'd snapped out of a deep slumber.
At the same moment, alerted by Bai Lian, Li Zhirui close by picked up on the disturbance. He sat quietly in the meditation chamber, his eyes turning toward Xiaoqing's Cave Mansion.
"May you overcome this Trial!"
His words, faint like drifting mist, dissolved into nothingness before they could even reach the earth.
...
"A thousand years of harsh training, at last achieving flawless Merit, prepared to face the Tribulation and charge toward Heavenly Immortal!"
Snapping out of his Cultivation session, Xiaoqing abruptly sensed a pull from the depths of Tianqiong, and with a quick probe, he realized it was a Thunder Tribulation.
Joy surged through him instantly, without any suspicion, as he naturally examined his condition, and seeing it wasn't at its best, he immediately restrained his aura and started meditating to recover.
After taking time to bring his spirit back to peak form, Xiaoqing boldly triggered the Thunder Tribulation, never once entertaining the thought of failure in crossing it.
Upon exiting the Cave Mansion, the heavens overhead were already choked with thick Tribulation clouds spanning dozens of miles, appearing utterly daunting.
Still, Xiaoqing's mind held no hint of alarm or terror, holding firm to his unshakeable belief.
Rumblings——
The initial Tribulation Thunder crashed down, its immense and over-the-top might looking ready to impale Xiaoqing completely.
Nevertheless, he drew on his power to withstand the onslaught, which humbled his arrogance and made him far more vigilant.
Despite that, during the fourth Tribulation Thunder, a brief lapse in attention caused Xiaoqing to take a hit, though only light wounds; even so, he ended up looking quite ragged.
With the fourth Tribulation Thunder hitting this hard, was there any way he could safely survive the next five?
Right then, a small crack formed in Xiaoqing's once-solid confidence.
"Hehehe..."
As the one pulling the strings, the Heart Demon caught sight of this and grinned with thrill, delighting in how the target sank deeper into the Illusion it had crafted, with every twist fully under its command, turning the foe into a mere marionette. How could it not revel in that?
Ending the foe outright paled in excitement compared to seeing them, swayed by its influence, slowly inch toward their doom!
Rumblings——
Another Tribulation Thunder descended, and by now Xiaoqing could scarcely hold on, his thoughts swirling with uncertainty as he whispered: "This can't be! How am I struggling against these simple Tribulation Thunders?"
"Am I really going to perish under the Tribulation Thunder?"
"No way! It can't happen! I refuse to die! I absolutely won't die!"
Bit by bit, Xiaoqing's psyche started to fracture, becoming more restless and intense, while also gripped by rising panic and horror.
...
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.
——
Yet truly, engaging with it amounts to understanding the Law itself.
