Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1996 1467: Formation

In essence, even if Jiang Fengwu figured out a formation to suppress the heart demon, establishing it would remain incredibly challenging, as only certain rare spiritual items or a life-bound magic treasure could access the sea of consciousness.

That rule held for everyone else, but for her personally, no such barriers existed, since she could utilize her own life-bound magic treasure, the Myriad Array Diagram, to inscribe array patterns and thereby deploy the formation.

"Damn it!"

Thus, the moment the heart demon emerged and before it had a chance to act, the formation crushed it instantly, and then the grand array ignited, refining the heart demon completely.

Within mere moments, the Purifying Spirit Fire incinerated the heart demon to nothing, posing zero danger to Jiang Fengwu.

Simultaneously, the massive tribulation clouds above shifted, converting into refined spiritual energy that flooded her body, propelling her cultivation forward.

Not long afterward, a formidable and intimidating aura erupted from Jiang Fengwu's core.

This signified her triumphant breakthrough into the Heavenly Immortal realm.

From then onward, the Li family boasted yet another Heavenly Immortal among its ranks.

The family members erupted in joy, their thrilled shouts echoing like crashing waves across the horizon.

"Many thanks for your protection." Jiang Fengwu offered a slight bow to Li Zhirui and the fellow clansmen, then headed back to her cave mansion—to stabilize her newfound cultivation and mend her wounds.

Though she avoided direct clashes with the tribulation thunder or its strikes, she had wildly channeled her inner mana against the lightning, resulting in severe damage to her meridians.

Li Zhirui didn't hang around; he disappeared in a flash.

Nevertheless, Da Qing, Xiaoqing, and Cang shared a look, opting not to retreat to their cave mansions but to seek out Li Zhirui instead.

The remaining clansmen dispersed gradually, brimming with elation and delight.

At the same time, the distant spies beyond the Li Family Territory raced to report the intelligence to their various organizations without delay.

"Jiu, the thunder tribulation is getting stronger and stronger!"

It wasn't solely Li Zhirui who spotted this grave and crucial matter; the others recognized it too.

By all logic, as a world progresses, it ought to support more advanced life forms, given that growing capacity elevates the ceiling for all.

However, in the Primal Spirit Realm, the opposite occurred. Instead, the Heavenly Dao intensified the thunder tribulation, heightening the barriers to breakthroughs—a total reversal of natural principles.

"I know, I just can't figure out why the Heavenly Dao would do this." Li Zhirui let out a sigh, his expression laced with frustration as he voiced it. This wasn't his first encounter with irregularities.

One must realize, the escalation of thunder tribulation power wasn't a recent development. It had persisted for years, worsening steadily over time.

A cause surely existed; the Heavenly Dao wouldn't act without purpose, would it?

Regrettably, they remained clueless, lacking any leads on the Heavenly Dao's intentions, leaving them to speculate aimlessly.

"If this trend persists, I'm afraid the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation will turn utterly horrifying..." Cang's features were etched with concern.

He wasn't alone; Da Qing and Xiaoqing shared the same profound unease.

The cause was straightforward: all three were merely Earth Immortals currently, none having ascended to Heavenly Immortal yet, and Da Qing lagged behind, not even at late Earth Immortal stage!

Should the moment arrive for their Heavenly Immortal breakthrough attempts amid this mounting tribulation strength, the challenge would intensify, amplifying the peril of failure.

No one desired such an outcome.

Li Zhirui grasped their anxieties perfectly and empathized greatly, yet he possessed no solution himself!

Thus, he advised, "No one knows what will happen in the future. You should focus on your cultivation and try to transcend the tribulation and break through as soon as possible."

This represented the most viable approach Li Zhirui could devise.

The concept was sound, but executing it proved daunting, far from guaranteed success.

Despite being divine entities, Xiaoqing and Cang couldn't achieve Heavenly Immortal in the near term—much less Da Qing with his inferior progress.

"Sigh!"

The trio managed only a collective sigh before departing in defeat.

As Li Zhirui observed their dejected forms, a pang of sorrow struck him, though he remained powerless—certain matters lay beyond even a Heavenly Immortal's influence.

Moreover, he had already exhausted his efforts to aid their Heavenly Immortal ascensions, providing all available elixirs, insights, and experiences at his disposal.

...

Although Jiang Fengwu's tribulation faced hurdles, her eventual success in reaching Heavenly Immortal swiftly circulated throughout Shanhai State, soon extending beyond.

Upon hearing the news, the Cave Abyss Sect leader gripped a jade slip, perched in his seat, yet his gaze drifted blankly as he fell quiet, his thoughts swirling: why had the sect reaped zero benefits thus far?!

He had anticipated that post-great tribulation, several veteran Earth Immortals within the sect would advance, given their long years of practice had positioned them at the brink.

Furthermore, with the Primal Spirit Realm freshly unveiling its laws, grasping them should have been straightforward—facilitating realm progression.

But reality delivered a harsh rebuke—doubly so!

From the great tribulation's conclusion, the sect endured countless thunder tribulations, yet none of the anticipated Immortal Thunder Tribulations materialized as desired.

To clarify, none of the veteran Earth Immortals he pinned hopes on had managed to transcend.
