Chapter 859: 865 Chapter: Breakthrough
"Okay!" Li Chengshuo agreed immediately.
She didn’t know much about the Divinity Transformation Realm, just saw Li Zhirui practicing in the Spirit Realm all day while Jiang Fengwu spent her time on other things, and she always felt there was something wrong.
The two of them were fortunate; not long after they reached the Spirit Realm, Li Zhirui finished his cultivation and let them in.
"Father!" The siblings bowed in greeting.
"You must have some doubts about cultivation since you’re suddenly visiting," Li Zhirui said with a smile.
Li Chengsheng nodded and asked, "Father, I want to ask, after reaching perfection in the Nascent Soul stage, what should I do next to break through to Divine Transformation?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui looked closely and realized that his cultivation was still some distance from perfection. He had thought this young man was already ready to attempt the transformation.
However, Li Chengsheng’s pace in cultivation was still astonishingly fast.
This might have something to do with the Great Tao treasure he mentioned before.
Li Zhirui thought for a while, then decided to slightly advance the content he was going to share with Li Chengsheng. He briefly described the steps of breaking through to Divine Transformation.
It was essentially about achieving Divine Union with Heaven and Earth, letting the Spiritual Soul enter into the mystic Sea of Laws invisibly, selecting the Laws that matched oneself, imprinting them deeply, grasping the Laws to the fullest, and finally returning to the physical body safely.
This was only the first hurdle; thereafter, one needed to transcend the Thunder Tribulation.
"When I broke through to Divine Transformation, I used the Great Illusionary Dream Fruit, which was a bit of taking a shortcut, so it’s not really suitable for you. It’s better to look at the insights and experiences summarized by Fengwu."
However, while discussing this, Li Zhirui blocked Li Chengshuo’s ears and Divine Sense to prevent her from hearing things she should not.
After all, Li Chengshuo had not yet broken through the Late Nascent Soul Stage; knowing too much too soon was not good for her.
"Father, this is the Great Tao treasure I previously mentioned." Li Chengsheng took out the Sunstone, which he and three Spirit Beasts had desperately brought back.
This was his first time showing the Sunstone to someone else.
As soon as the Sunstone appeared, the temperature around them rose significantly. Li Zhirui squinted his eyes and said, "You really are lucky to have found a fragment of the Sun’s body and even retained a trace of the True Sun Fire."
No wonder Li Chengsheng said this was his Great Tao treasure!
This was literally a tangible form of the Sun Law!
For Li Chengsheng, a cultivator destined to choose the Sun Law, having this treasure would make his path of seeking the Dao much smoother in the future.
"When you have time, use your Divine Sense to examine and observe the gemstone more; it will help you in the future," Li Zhirui suggested.
After finishing, he removed the isolation from Li Chengshuo.
"Do you have any questions?"
Li Chengshuo, not bothering to ask what they had concealed, immediately voiced her concerns, "Father, isn’t what mother is doing too distressful?"
"Indeed, frequently creating and maintaining the Spirit Realm consumes a lot of time, but Fengwu has her reasons for doing so," Li Zhirui explained the idea of using Formations to fortify and connect the Spirit Realm, sharing it with both of them. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
"Is mother doing this because she’s striving for this cause?"
Li Chengshuo, still worried, said, "But what if this approach doesn’t work? Wouldn’t mother have wasted all these years for nothing?"
"Why can’t you hope for something good?"
Li Zhirui couldn’t help but laugh helplessly, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought that if what Fengwu has been doing for so many years were useless, why would she continue to persist?"
Animals naturally move towards benefit and away from harm, let alone a Nascent Soul Cultivator with strong Spirit Sense? In a mysterious way, they can sense whether something is beneficial for them.
"You are not yet Nascent Soul Cultivators, so you don’t understand how important a Spirit Realm that matches your own is for your cultivation." Remembering his own cultivation in the Cave Mansion a few years ago, Li Zhirui suddenly expressed his emotions.
"If the things Fengwu is doing now succeed, they will greatly benefit you in the future," you won’t need to search for High Rank Spirit Plants and can just use Spiritual Objects to set up the Formation.
Compared to the rare Spirit Plants that match one’s own nature, Spiritual Objects are easier to obtain.
"If there’s no problem, then go back and cultivate, striving to break through to Nascent Soul as soon as possible." After saying this, he helped the two leave the Spirit Realm.
"I wonder what stage Fengwu has reached now."
Although he was quite curious, Li Zhirui did not leave; he was about to break through to the middle stage of Divine Transformation, and recently, it would be better to focus and achieve a breakthrough sooner.
After all, it had been so many years, and Cang’s breakthrough to the Fifth Order was not far off.
On the other side, Jiang Fengwu, using the data she had personally collected, began to work on deducing a Formation to replace Spirit Plants.
Despite being extremely well-prepared, the process of deduction was still filled with difficulties and obstacles, but for the sake of her own cultivation, Jiang Fengwu had to master the Formation!
It was known that over the years, the Li family had used their power to help Jiang Fengwu find a Fengshui Spiritual Plant. Even a Fourth-order Spirit Plant would do, but there had been no news at all.
Thus, Jiang Fengwu had given up hope on Spirit Plants and devoted herself entirely to deducing the Formation.
In fact, many of Li Zhirui’s supposedly original Methods, like the Dongling Breakthrough Array, were not unique in the outside world.
The alternative Formations that Jiang Fengwu was now deducing were mastered by all the major forces, for even they could not always procure a high-order Spirit Plant that matches the Nascent Soul Laws.
Unfortunately, the Li family’s foundation was shallow, and being in the desolate, remote corner of the Far East, they naturally were not very well-informed about many things.
However, that said, even if they had known, they would not have been able to obtain the Methods.
It is known that during the previous war between two realms, these types of Formations were not even listed in the publicly disclosed exchange catalog, indicating how highly valued these Methods were.
Days turned into nights, and seasons changed from spring to autumn; in the blink of an eye, several years had passed.
Sitting cross-legged beside the green willow, Li Zhirui’s aura suddenly fluctuated intensely as he madly absorbed the nearby Spiritual Energy, surrounding himself with a clear, white Spirit Light, keeping the unnecessary Spiritual Energy outside.
The originally calm Spirit Realm suddenly experienced fierce winds, and thousands of willow branches swayed in the wind, with clusters of Bai Lian trembling.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Zhirui’s aura gradually stabilized, and the storm also subsided.
Now, looking at Li Zhirui, one could see that his aura had become much more substantial.
Obviously, he had successfully broken through to the middle stage of Divine Transformation.
"Unfortunately, this breakthrough did not bring about an Internal Tribulation," Li Zhirui sighed deeply.
Internal Tribulations are unavoidable; their absence this time meant that the next breakthrough would bring two Internal Tribulations at the same time!
Wind aids the fire’s power, greatly increasing the threat of Internal Tribulation.
"Anyway, thinking about this now is useless. As long as I make proper preparations and have strong power, even if Wind Fire Internal Tribulation arrives together, it can’t harm me at all." Li Zhirui quickly got over his emotions and began to consolidate his realm.
