Chapter 591: Chapter 597: Destined by Fate
Jiang Fengwu worried that even with their combined efforts, they wouldn’t be able to control the Formation and that might lead to numerous problems. To minimize the impact, she deliberately took Li Zhirui away from the clan territory, to a deserted valley.
"If you feel you can’t control the Formation and it starts to get out of hand, run away immediately. Don’t try to be a hero, and don’t worry about me; I’ll be careful," Jiang Fengwu emphasized before setting up the Formation.
"I understand," Li Zhirui replied.
Jiang Fengwu nodded and then began to set up the Formation.
Array Flags were placed in every corner of the valley, and Jiang Fengwu set the Array Plate in front of her. What followed was an extremely complex series of spells. Watching from the side, Li Zhirui felt dizzy and nauseous, and quickly averted his gaze.
Hum—
About half a quarter hour passed when a low humming sound arose, followed by Spirit Light emerging from the Array Plate, turning into long thin lines that connected the Array Flags, eventually forming an integrated whole and establishing the Formation.
"Be ready, I’m going to activate the Formation now!" Speaking quickly, Jiang Fengwu then concentrated on the Formation, pouring a substantial amount of Mana into the Array Plate.
Boom—
Accompanied by a roar, a black thunderbolt shot out from the center of the Formation, striking the spot Jiang Fengwu had indicated.
The moment the black thunderbolt appeared, Li Zhirui sensed a deadly threat. If it weren’t for his self-control, and his knowledge that Jiang Fengwu wouldn’t hurt him, he would have almost run away.
Crack crack!
Under the black thunderbolt, laden with the power of destruction, the previously solid space shattered like broken glass, revealing an extremely fine but conspicuous black line in the colorless Void.
However, under the mighty power of the Laws, it was quickly closing up.
"It worked!" Jiang Fengwu’s face lit up with joy; she hadn’t expected to succeed on the first attempt!
Although the spatial rift only lasted a few breaths before disappearing as if it had never been there.
But if the preparations were ready, that amount of time would be enough!
Boom—
Before Jiang Fengwu could celebrate for long, the Array Plate along with the hundreds of Array Flags, as if under immense pressure, all exploded!
If not for Li Zhirui’s quick reaction, casting a protective spell over her timely, the continuous explosions would have been enough to injure Jiang Fengwu.
The reason the Array Plate and Array Flags exploded was simply because their quality was too low to withstand the power of the Divinity Transformation Realm, even though Jiang Fengwu had used several Fifth-order Spiritual Objects in their crafting.
Maybe using all Fifth-order Spiritual Objects would just barely withstand the outburst of this formidable energy once or a few times, but then the cost would surge by more than tenfold!
This explosion also restored Jiang Fengwu’s calm demeanor.
Because opening a Spirit Realm was only the first step, many other things had to follow, and they had to be completed in a short time, otherwise, the rift would close up, rendering all their efforts futile.
"Don’t worry; being able to get this far is already impressive. We’ll figure out a way to improve it slowly," Li Zhirui comforted Jiang Fengwu upon seeing her neutral expression and sensing her mood affected by the explosion of the Formation.
Jiang Fengwu shook her head, "There are solutions. We can use more Fifth-order Spiritual Objects to refine the Array Plate and Array Flags, or you could assist me on the side next time, making sure the explosion doesn’t affect me."
"But the problem is, how do we expand the area of the space?"
It was impossible for her to set up another complex Formation in a few breaths to forcibly expand the space, and with their level of cultivation, their influence on the space was very limited. Even if they exerted all their strength, they feared it wouldn’t do much.
By then, the Spirit Realm they created would only be one or two zhang in size, just big enough to accommodate one Suppressing Spirit Plant and hardly any Spiritual Objects.
"Have you forgotten about those Black Stones that Shuo brought back?" Li Zhirui reminded.
"But there are no results yet to show that those Black Stones can expand space!"
Li Zhirui was momentarily at a loss for words, unable to convince Jiang Fengwu with the experiments in the space, and could only say, "Why not just give it a try? After all, this is the only thing related to space our family has."
Jiang Fengwu seemed to glance at Li Zhirui unintentionally, knowing him well enough to be aware that he wouldn’t mention something over and over unless he was a hundred percent certain about it.
However, since Li Zhirui didn’t want to reveal more, she didn’t press the issue, as everyone has their secrets after all.
Finding a Spirit Plant to suppress the space was easy, as Li Zhirui had several fourth-order Spirit Plants in his possession, but the only one he could offer was the Five Elements Jade Peach.
That was the fourth-order Spirit Plant he had publicized, claiming to have planted it within the Spirit Plant Jade Token he carried with him.
As for the stocks of Dragon Breath Spiritual Tea, despite having more of them, he couldn’t find a reason to bring them out.
However, this might actually be a good thing; there might be a chance for the Five Elements Jade Peach Spirit Tree to evolve into a Spiritual Root, which would enhance the effects of the Jade Peaches even further.
"Alright then, let me rest for a few days, see if there’s anything I can improve, and then I’ll start to develop the Spirit Realm," Jiang Fengwu accepted Li Zhirui’s suggestion.
"But where do you plan to establish the Spirit Realm?"
Spirit Realms are dependent on and situated near Spirit Veins, and the choice of location is crucial; the more Spiritual Energy a place produces, the more abundant it will be in the cultivated Spirit Realm.
"Above the Main Spirit Acupoint of the fourth-order Spirit Vein." This was the location Li Zhirui had previously decided on.
Because according to his calculations, if the Spirit Realm were established here, its internal Spiritual Energy density should be comparable to that of a fifth-order!
At that time, even if the Spirit Realm was not large, the dense Spiritual Energy could be used as an excellent place for secluded cultivation, without ever having to worry about insufficient Spiritual Energy.
Jiang Fengwu had no objections; she was indifferent to where it was established.
The two cleaned up the scene and then left the valley together.
After returning to the cave abode, the two had a tender night before they went on to attend to their own matters. n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com

"You weren’t hurt in the great battle at Xuanfa State, were you?" Li Chengshuo asked Wei Ningchen, who suddenly appeared before her, with a tinge of worry in her voice.
Perhaps there really was a destined relationship between them— in the vast Eastern Region, and even though Li Chengshuo had heeded Li Zhirui’s advice to specifically avoid Xuanfa State, she still encountered Wei Ningchen!
"Are you worried about me?" Wei Ningchen’s eyes, filled with a burning passion, stared straight at her. He was no longer as timid as before; on the contrary, he started to take the initiative.
"Sort of, since we’re friends now," Li Chengshuo said, seemingly oblivious to the emotions in his words.
"I accidentally fell into a Demon Cultivator’s trap and got severely injured, but luckily I didn’t die."
In reality, Wei Ningchen hadn’t fallen into a trap but was attacked by a Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator disguised as a Golden Core. If not for the life-saving measures he had on him, he might have really died in Xuanfa State.
"Ah?!" Li Chengshuo’s concern was evident as she asked anxiously, "How are you now? Are you all right?"
