Chapter 759: Chapter 765: Breakthrough
This won’t do, that won’t do; in the end, it could only come to nothing. They’d wait for Li Zhirui to face his Tribulation before taking action since there would be fewer concerns at that point—after all, the Devil Race definitely wouldn’t be happy about a Divine Transformation emerging in the Li family.
Indeed, an Elder scattered his thoughts with this consideration, contemplating that once the Devil Race deployed a portion of their Great Devils and their strength weakened as a result, they could attempt to recapture the Great Void Province.
However, it was essential to quit while ahead, to first reclaim a part and then slowly, bit by bit, encroach further south.
And Li Zhirui, the focus of so many concerns, finally took the last step in the twenty-fourth year of his retreat!
A stream of light resonating with profound and mystical Taoist charm burst forth from his Nascent Soul, flowed backward through his veins, and ultimately fused into the Spiritual Soul within his Sea of Consciousness.
In an instant, a moon-like halo of cyan and white Spirit Light unfurled behind his Spiritual Soul, incessantly spinning.
And a faint fragrance and white light radiated from Li Zhirui’s body; his exposed skin had become as translucent and lustrous as jade without anyone noticing when, and the whole meditation chamber was left spotless!
The next moment, Li Zhirui’s heart seemed drawn by some mysterious force, his consciousness detached from his physical body and climbed ever higher, and with a mere downward glance, he could see the entire mountain.
But the mountain was completely different from what he usually saw, or more accurately, the whole world had changed!
It was as if he found himself in an ocean of light, with countless different colors emanating various auras, yet each color exuded a profound Taoist charm.
These were the fundamental elements that made up this world—the Laws!
They were also the Laws that Cultivators continuously ascended towards, to tread the Great Tao, which they needed to comprehend!
No one knows how many different Heavenly Laws there are because each Cultivator draws Laws from the Heavenly Dao based on their understanding and cognition of the world and the Great Tao.
In a certain sense, every Cultivator is a ’creator’ of the Laws!
And at that moment, the most dazzling thing before Li Zhirui’s eyes was the Purification Principle that he had chosen when he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, a principle naturally aligned with himself.
Why is it that even when Nascent Souls had completely sunified their Spiritual Souls, they still found it difficult to break through to Divinity Transformation? The reason lies here!
They couldn’t merge their consciousness into the world, so naturally, they couldn’t pick out from the myriad Laws the one they connected with during their Nascent Soul phase, and it was even less likely for them to imprint their essence onto a Law, deepen their understanding, and master the Power of Laws.
But even finding the corresponding Law didn’t guarantee breakthrough into the Divinity Transformation Realm. Imprinting one’s essence was also extremely dangerous!
At best, failure to break through damaged the foundation—though they might save their life, without great fortune to repair the fundamental damage, they would be stuck at this stage for life.
At worst, they could be directly counter-attacked by the Laws and die on the spot!
However, for reasons unknown, Li Zhirui didn’t spend any effort searching for the Laws, and the process of imprinting his essence was unusually easy and simple, as if he was inherently part of the Purification Principle.
One must know, this step had blocked many a Nascent Soul, yet he had such fortune!
This circumstance filled him with immense surprise and delight, as if a nestling returning to the nest, he instantly transformed into Spirit Light and plunged into the Law.
The next moment, the previously brilliant and colorful sea of light before Li Zhirui’s eyes became a single vast and boundless cyan-white brilliance, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
Even though Li Zhirui had a tremendous advantage compared to other Cultivators, the imprinting process was still fraught with peril.
It was as if he was on a vast sea tossing with stormy waves, navigating in nothing but a tiny boat, where colossal tidal waves could engulf him at any moment.
All Li Zhirui could do was continuously expand his own ’presence’, permeate the entire Law, and ultimately leave his own imprint.
As the imprint strengthened, his understanding of the Purification Principle deepened, and he gradually comprehended several Divine Powers on his own.
The combat prowess of Nascent Soul Cultivators was closely linked to their mastery of the Laws!
And at the moment of breakthrough, it was the only chance to come into direct contact with the Laws. Afterward, cultivation would face many obstacles and become quite obscure.
Therefore, at this time, it was the perfect opportunity to master the Laws.
However, the longer one stayed in the Sea of Laws, the more difficult it became to extricate oneself. If one couldn’t escape, there was only one outcome — complete assimilation!
One would become a part of the Laws forever!
Therefore, they must have a clear understanding of themselves and a calm mind. They must not become obsessed.
Li Zhirui did not test the limits of his abilities. The moment he felt he had only twenty percent of his power left, he chose to leave the Sea of Laws!
For safety’s sake, he had to reserve some strength.
As expected, during the process of leaving the Sea of Laws, the ’storm’ grew even more fierce. The small boat he was on could capsize and sink at any moment.
If it were not for Li Zhirui’s caution and his deliberate conservation of extra energy, he might indeed have been devoured by the Laws!
Hum——
When his consciousness returned to his body, a gust of wind arose between heaven and earth. At the same time, a mysterious and profound, boundless aura permeated the air.
The Divine Transformation Thunder Tribulation was forming at an extremely fast pace.
Rolling clouds of tribulation gathered, fierce winds howled, carrying an indescribable oppressive atmosphere, and the terrifying intent of destruction could be felt.
"Someone is undergoing Tribulation Transcendence!"
"This Thunder Tribulation has not even formed yet, and the aura is already so terrifying. Could it be the Divine Transformation Thunder Tribulation?"
"It should be, if it were the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation, there wouldn’t be such a commotion."
Despite being somewhat remote, the mountain where the rented cave dwelling was located was still within the Immortal City, so naturally, there was no lack of cultivators.
Therefore, many cultivators saw it at first notice.
And the shop assistant as well as the shopkeeper naturally knew about it too.
"Shopkeeper, that senior has really attracted the Thunder Tribulation!"
Unable to contain his excitement, the assistant said, "Doesn’t that mean we’re now connected to a Divinity Transformation Elder!"
"Indeed!"
Although countless Nascent Soul Cultivators have perished in the Thunder Tribulation, the shopkeeper naturally hoped that Li Zhirui would succeed in breaking through. Otherwise, what use would that favor be?
"Quick, quick, quick! Notify the Nascent Soul friends in the Immortal City, let them all come over to protect the law! We cannot allow any villains to disrupt this Tribulation Transcendence."
Actually, there was no need for Mr. Zhou to urge them, as the Nascent Soul Cultivators who were not in seclusion rushed over spontaneously upon detecting the first signs of the Thunder Tribulation.
The reason was simple; they wanted to observe the Tribulation at close range, which might allow them to glean some enlightenment that could aid their own cultivation.
Furthermore, with this act of protection, they would have a reason to engage with this Divinity Transformation Cultivator.
So before the assistant’s message went out, Nascent Soul Cultivators had already arrived.
"Mr. Zhou, do you know which cultivator is undergoing Divinity Transformation here?"
Mr. Zhou shook his head and said, "I am not very clear about the identity of this cultivator. I only know that he came from the outside world and had to rent a cave dwelling in the Immortal City because he couldn’t make it back to his sect due to a sudden surge of inspiration."
"Let’s not idle chat now, it’s better to protect the law first."
