Chapter 593: Chapter 599: Surprise
Only when Li Zhirui saw the spatial rift began to heal did he hastily stop!
Then, he threw all of the remaining dozens of Black Stones into it.
As the new space was very unstable, the powerful Space Power instantly crushed the Black Stones, and the fine laws of space diffused within, further expanding the space.
"Stabilize!"
Li Zhirui didn’t have time to closely observe the changes inside the space, swiftly tossing the Five Elements Peach Spirit Plant into the space. A series of complex and intricate spells quickly wrapped around the Spirit Plant, protecting it amidst the tempestuous waves.
Immediately after, the spell changed, fixing the Spirit Plant in the space. Its roots spread out, reaching into the depths, and finally a tip connected to the Spirit Vein, thereby stabilizing the space. The terrifying force of spatial distortion also dissipated.
"Whew—"
Having completed all this, Li Zhirui was completely drained, nearly collapsing to the ground.
"Are you okay?" It was Jiang Fengwu, who had recovered somewhat, who hurried over and asked with concern.
"I’m fine, you go check how the Spirit Realm is doing," replied Li Zhirui in a faint voice.
He was merely exhausted, not injured. He would be fine with a little rest, but the newly established Spirit Realm that had taken so much of their effort and care was of paramount importance.
Li Zhirui was concerned not just about the size of the Spirit Realm, but also whether the Jade Peach Spirit Tree had advanced to become a Spiritual Root!
One must know, a Spiritual Root is not only a treasure that can suppress destiny, but the Spirit Fruit it bears are also many times more potent!
If the Jade Peach Spirit Tree was successful in its ascension, then the ordinary jade peaches would increase one’s Mana much more, and the probability of breakthroughs to the Divinity Transformation Realm with Five Elements Jade Peaches would also greatly increase!
Of course, after ascending to a Spiritual Root, it would no longer yield fruit every ninety years. The time would be much longer, possibly two hundred years, three hundred years, or even more.
Jiang Fengwu checked Li Zhirui’s body and, confirming he was indeed uninjured, she felt relieved and went to examine the Spirit Realm, leaving Li Xuefeng to take care of Li Zhirui.
The space became stable, and the established Spirit Realm had a gateway emitting a faint glow, suspended above the Spirit Vein. Jiang Fengwu did not rush in but cautiously probed with her Divine Sense.
But the result was a huge surprise for her!
The size of the Spirit Realm was far larger than she had imagined, with an inner space of about one square mile, and the Spiritual Energy was rich. Although Jiang Fengwu had never seen a Fifth-Order Spirit Vein, she believed it couldn’t be far off.
"Those Black Stones really could expand the space."
The reason for the situation at hand was not only because Jiang Fengwu and Li Zhirui had given it their all, striving for perfection, but also due to those dozens of Black Stones.
"I wonder when that second-order Secret Realm will open. When the time comes, we can let all the Li family members in Foundation Establishment enter, bring out more Black Stones, and further expand the Spirit Realm’s space."
This was the only relatively easy solution that Jiang Fengwu could think of!
The other methods either involved investing a large number of Spiritual Objects or advancing the entrusted Spirit Vein.
Beyond the size of the space, another surprise awaited Jiang Fengwu.
The Spirit Plant, which originally was lush and had a dense root system, now resembled a rotting tree, withered and shriveled, looking as though its end was near.
But if one observed carefully, beneath the decayed exterior lay a vast and pure vitality, and a small segment of verdant branches sprouted from beneath the withered wood.
This meant that the Jade Peach Spirit Plant had withstood the ordeal of the space’s establishment and had advanced to a Spiritual Root!
Although it was still in the process of ascention and the completion was far away, the Li family at least had one Spiritual Root now.
"How is it?"
Li Zhirui, supported by Li Xuefeng, stepped forward, eager to ask.
"Very good. Not only is the space expansive, but the Spirit Plants have also advanced into Spiritual Roots," Jiang Fengwu responded with a smile on her face.
"Hahahaha, great, great, great!" Li Zhirui laughed aloud, so excited that he was somewhat overwhelmed.
"With this Spirit Realm, our family will be able to cultivate more high-order Spiritual Medicines in the future, and the growth time will be further reduced."
The benefits brought about by these two factors were obvious! n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
"Let’s keep the news about the Spirit Realm a secret for now. Don’t let the other clan members know," Li Zhirui instructed.
He did this mainly because he was worried that if the news were leaked, the Li family would definitely attract the attention of a large number of powers!
If it were merely a matter of being asked to hand over the Methods, it would just be a little embarrassing. However, if a major power were to take direct action, wanting to monopolize it, then the Li family would be in trouble.
"I will be extra careful to ensure that not too many of our clan members find out about the Spirit Realm."
Completely hiding the news was impossible because the Spiritual Medicines needed to be tended to—after all, such menial tasks couldn’t possibly fall to Li Zhirui and the others, right?
Li Zhirui personally inspected the interior of the Spirit Realm and was very satisfied. In time, he would perform the Spirit Field Nourishing Method a few more times, and once it became a Fourth-Order Spirit Field, he would start cultivating Spiritual Medicines there.
For now, the Spirit Realm was still empty, with only a withered peach tree and nothing much to see, so he quickly withdrew his Divine Sense and hurried to restore his state.
Three days later.
Li Zhirui had fully recovered. His first action was to go to the Spirit Realm and apply the Spirit Field Nourishing Method.
After giving the Spirit Field some time to assimilate, it finally transformed into a Fourth-Order Spirit Field.
The last step was to plant the Spiritual Medicines that had been transplanted earlier in the Spirit Realm.
The Spirit Realm, spanning a radius of one li, was neither too large nor too small. Li Zhirui did everything possible to maximize the use of space, aiming to plant a few more Fourth-Order Spiritual Medicines.
"You have worked hard over the years. Now that the Spirit Realm has been successfully established, you can focus on cultivation."
Li Zhirui had not said these words to Jiang Fengwu until now. Alone with her, he finally seized the opportunity.
To deduce this Formation, she had invested all her time and energy over the years into it, to the extent that even her cultivation had been neglected.
Moreover, the idea of establishing the Spirit Realm had been his, but throughout this process, Li Zhirui had not contributed much.
"In this process, I’ve also reaped great benefits. You don’t need to feel embarrassed," Jiang Fengwu said with a smile. "If it weren’t for this experience, how could I possibly devise an Array capable of delivering a blow comparable to one from the Divinity Transformation Realm?"
Although there were still many issues with this Formation, such as exorbitant costs, too intense energy surge that the Array Flags and Array Plates couldn’t withstand multiple uses, difficulty in setting up the Formation, and the fact that it could be activated only once within a short period, and so on.
But no matter what, this Formation capable of unleashing an attack of the Divinity Transformation Realm had become one of her most powerful assets!
What’s more, these issues weren’t insurmountable.
"This is the best batch among the Precious Pills I’ve refined, specially kept for you."
While he said so, Li Zhirui still felt somewhat apologetic inside, which is why he thought of this way to compensate Jiang Fengwu.
