Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1908 - 1423: Moved
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
Li Zhirui had specially refined these immortal pills, as individuals like Jiang Fengwu and Xiaoqing plagued by physical exhaustion are fairly widespread, creating a substantial demand for such treatments.
Should they prove unsellable, the clan could still employ them internally.
While various injury-healing pills might serve the purpose too, they fail to address the core issue and offer reduced efficacy, prompting him to tweak the formula just a bit with some dedicated work.
In the same vein, basic pill formulas can undergo similar tweaks before handing them over to the clan's pill refiners for manufacturing.
Jiang Fengwu, of course, wouldn't turn down such valuable spirit items and promptly took possession of the pills.
Besides those, there were also elixirs designed for quick Mana replenishment and brief surges in battle prowess, intended to help her handle the Thunder Tribulation.
"One more thing, the power of the Thunder Tribulation seems to have increased again, so you must be extra careful when crossing the Tribulation. Don’t be careless."
Li Zhirui issued this warning to Jiang Fengwu right as she prepared to depart.
Earlier, during Li Mingyao's own Tribulation, the Thunder Tribulation's intensity matched what Li Zhirui had faced in his, appearing entirely normal with minimal variation between the two.
Yet, one must recall that Li Mingyao possesses Divine status, whereas Li Zhirui remains just a cultivator.
Juxtaposing these two backgrounds already highlights the underlying issue.
"Alright, I understand." Jiang Fengwu paused in surprise at the revelation; this detail was vital indeed. Knowing it beforehand allowed her to gear up more effectively for her upcoming Tribulation.
Regarding the broader consequences at play...
Her gaze dimmed briefly, though she held her tongue, since upheavals of that magnitude lay far beyond the reach of an Earth Immortal like her, or even a Heavenly Immortal.
All she could manage at present was to ascend to the Heavenly Immortal Realm without delay, thereby dodging a fiercer Thunder Tribulation!
Once Jiang Fengwu had gone, Li Zhirui whispered to himself, "It should be fine."
After all, her power was impressively robust, and her mastery of the Dao of the Array provided a clear advantage during the Tribulation crossing.
Employing Magic Artifacts, Talismans, and Formations isn't prohibited in Tribulation Transcendence, yet not a trace of foreign aura can be allowed. Any contamination ramps up the tribulation's might, and against such ferocious Tribulation Thunder, the vast majority of creatures would meet their end beneath it!
This rule demands that any Magic Artifact, Talisman, or outside item deployed be personally forged by the user, from processing spirit materials and inscribing runes all the way to final completion.
Suppose someone has wielded an artifact for ages, convinced all outsider marks have faded—could it then be trusted?
In theory, yes, but the Heavenly Dao rejects that notion. It invariably triggers the Thunder Tribulation's fury, offering no escape or refuge!
For Array Masters, however, the restriction proves far less severe, given that nearly all formations stem from spirit materials and get built entirely by hand.
Furthermore, they can leverage this guideline to set up certain formations ahead of time, specifically to resist the Tribulation and boost their odds of success.
Those versed in artifact forging, talisman drawing, puppetry, and similar arts can apply the same tactic.
Still, they lag behind Array Masters, whose formations harness natural powers to triumph through clever efficiency over brute force.
Thus, Li Zhirui held strong faith in Jiang Fengwu's Heavenly Immortal Tribulation, particularly now that she'd been alerted to the heightened Thunder Tribulation power and would undoubtedly ready herself well.
Before long, he set aside these thoughts. Jiang Fengwu was merely in closed-door cultivation, pursuing the Heavenly Immortal Realm without an actual breakthrough yet. No point dwelling on it constantly—better to concentrate on his personal cultivation.
His cultivation advanced at a gradual yet reliable pace, leaving Li Zhirui free of frustration or haste, his mind serene. This rate of progress was already commendable.
At his present level, even minor gains in cultivation represented a distant aspiration for countless others.
They could toil away for years, only to discover their cultivation frozen in place, as though time itself had halted!
Moreover, since attaining Heavenly Immortal, Li Zhirui harbored no fears over his longevity. Only grand cosmic tribulations or overwhelming assaults posed real threats to his existence.
Hence, time stretched endlessly before him to bolster his cultivation toward ultimate transcendence!
...
As suns rose and moons fell, the years flew past until a full century had elapsed.
"Finally back!"
Just beyond the Primal Spirit Realm's boundary barrier stood a female cultivator, weary yet determined, her face etched with tangled feelings.
A closer look revealed a scar running along her formerly smooth features, starting from her eye's edge and vanishing under her collar.
This was Li Zhixuan herself, returned after long years of tempering in The Void!
She donned ragged black robes now, and her Life-bound Magic Treasure, the Mysterious Sword, bore a notch from some desperate clash.
Curiously, as a Sword Cultivator, such damage to her Lifebound Spirit Sword ought to have wounded her deeply, harming her very core.
Nevertheless, the powerful presence radiating from her showed no such harm! Indeed, she appeared to have thrived amid the trials, emerging even mightier than prior.
Wasting no time at the edge, she vanished in a flash, stepping back into the Primal Spirit Realm after so much absence.
"Not much has changed since I left."
But Li Zhixuan had scarcely time to take in the view when a heavy calamity loomed above, rapidly shifting into three distinct calamities: fire, thunder, and dark fire!
