Chapter 861: Chapter 867: Success
The Formation’s strength was inadequate; it couldn’t withstand the pressure of the closing boundary membrane.
This was the problem with the current failure.
As for whether there were other issues, Jiang Fengwu didn’t know; after all, the first experiment failed right at the beginning.
However, it was likely that there would be many more problems to come, all for Jiang Fengwu to solve one by one.
The first problem she encountered was actually easy to resolve; it only required an increase in the Formation’s power.
Within three months, Jiang Fengwu had improved the Formation based on its original structure.
After another experiment, the Formation succeeded in withstanding the pressure of the closing boundary membrane, but the second problem emerged.
It was impossible to establish a connection to the Spirit Vein!
This meant that the Spirit Realm’s Spiritual Energy would be scarce, possibly even weaker than a Third Order Spirit Vein, and it couldn’t be rightfully called a Spirit Realm.
Keep in mind, the initial purpose of creating the Spirit Realm was to provide a better cultivation environment for Nascent Soul Cultivators. If even the most basic Spiritual Energy within the Spirit Realm was inferior to the outside world’s, then why go to such great lengths to establish it?
Moreover, unlike using Spirit Plants to solidify the Spirit Realm, without sufficient Spiritual Energy, the Formation couldn’t remain continuously active and would inevitably fail and close.
This was also good; it meant there was no need for Jiang Fengwu to take action, as the Spirit Realm would destroy itself automatically.
"To connect to the Spirit Vein, the Formation must have the ability to penetrate space!"
Jiang Fengwu frowned in confusion; this problem was not easy to solve because, at the moment, she couldn’t think of any Spiritual Objects capable of achieving this.
"Perhaps I could try using Floating Cloud Sky Wood?" This thought suddenly emerged in Jiang Fengwu’s mind and quickly became irresistible. She immediately set off toward the Purification Spirit Realm.
The Sky Wood was extremely precious, and Jiang Fengwu wanted to break off a few branches. She needed to ask Li Zhirui and the family for their opinion.
After learning of Jiang Fengwu’s purpose, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but exclaim, "How many years has it been? You’re about to succeed already."
He once again witnessed Jiang Fengwu’s terrifying talent in the field of Formations!
"In terms of Formations, I can’t be of much help, but for anything else, feel free to ask me if you need assistance," said Li Zhirui.
Once Jiang Fengwu’s hypothesized Formation succeeded, it would be an absolute joy for the family, making the establishment of Spirit Realms all the more convenient.
Jiang Fengwu didn’t hesitate and immediately asked for several bottles of Top-Tier Rejuvenating Treasure Pills. With her current level of cultivation, she wouldn’t be able to last until the end without consuming the Treasure Pills.
"If that’s not enough, come and get more from me." During this period, besides his daily practices, Li Zhirui had been making Treasure Pills, so he had piled up quite a stash of good items.
Jiang Fengwu responded and hurriedly left.
Li Mingzi was not one to lack foresight, being fully aware of the importance of what Jiang Fengwu was currently undertaking, and thus readily agreed for her to break off a few branches of the Sky Wood.
Jiang Fengwu returned with her bounty, and with the Sky Wood, she re-forged a set of Formations, including the Array Plate and several key Array Flags.
After resting for several days, Jiang Fengwu returned to the edge of Mount Wanxian to begin creating the Spirit Realm once more.
Buzz!
A low humming, like the sound of a bell, echoed as the Spirit Realm slowly expanded. Jiang Fengwu seized the timing and unfolded the Formation within.
The Formation, having undergone many revisions, was completely different from the original. Upon successful deployment, the latest version would produce a colossal pillar that reached from heaven to earth, designed to prevent the Spirit Realm from closing.
Now, it remained to be seen if the pillar, reinforced with Sky Wood, could break through the boundary membrane and connect to the Spirit Vein.
Time ticked away, second by second, and Jiang Fengwu’s heart was a knot of nerves, fearful that the Formation she had poured countless efforts into would end in failure.
Fortunately, that did not happen.
"Success!" Jiang Fengwu was overjoyed, her face breaking into an incredibly radiant smile.
The giant pillar had successfully connected to the Spirit Vein, and Spiritual Energy flowed through the pillar into the Spirit Realm, swiftly making the air in the confined space dense with energy.
Jiang Fengwu shared her joy with Li Zhirui the moment she could, and upon receiving the Communication Talisman, Li Zhirui couldn’t sit still, hurrying over to meet her.
"Fengwu, is this the Spirit Realm you successfully forged with your Formation?" Li Zhirui excitedly surveyed the Spirit Realm.
However, Jiang Fengwu calmed down from her ecstasy and said, "I got happy too soon!"
"Whether it can substitute for Spirit Plants is still uncertain."
The Spirit Realm was used for gathering Laws and even producing pure Primal Qi, but these were still unknown.
"Surely there won’t be a problem," Li Zhirui said with complete confidence. If there were issues, they would just find a way to solve them.
Jiang Fengwu wasn’t as optimistic, shaking her head and saying, "We’ll know the answer in a few months."
Time flashed by, and the day when the Spirit Realm was fully formed arrived.
For this occasion, Li Zhirui had set aside time to witness what might become a historic moment.
Approaching the Spirit Realm, Jiang Fengwu suddenly felt tense again, fearing that the result would not be as she hoped.
Li Zhirui didn’t offer words of comfort but instead held her hand more tightly, leading her into this unique Spirit Realm.
The first thing they saw was the heaven-reaching, earth-penetrating giant pillar, its massive body emitting Spiritual Energy brought in from the Spirit Vein.
Li Zhirui closed his eyes, using his Divine Sense to feel the Laws within the Spirit Realm, and quickly, with delight, he opened his eyes and said, "Success!"
"The Wood Principle in the Spirit Realm far exceeds the other Laws!"
With a sigh of relief, Jiang Fengwu, who had been too nervous to use her Divine Sense to explore, exhaled a breath of stale air, her entire person relaxing.
"You’ve worked hard these past decades."
The entire Formation relied solely on Jiang Fengwu’s own abilities; apart from some Rejuvenating Treasure Pills, Li Zhirui hadn’t offered any assistance.
Jiang Fengwu, in her dedication to completing the Formation, had even slacked off in her cultivation, spending the vast majority of her time deducing and perfecting the Formation.
"People always say that sharpening your axe will not delay your work of cutting wood; isn’t that what I’ve been doing all these years?" Jiang Fengwu said, her face beaming with a splendid smile.
Before long, she would have her Fengshui Spirit Realm!
However, Jiang Fengwu always aimed for perfection, so she intended to use a Fifth-order Formation, but she still lacked one Fifth-order Fengshui Spirit Object.
"I’ve already purchased it for you from Xuanfa Pavilion," Li Zhirui said, knowing Jiang Fengwu’s intentions, so he had prepared it well in advance.
To say purchased wasn’t exactly accurate; it was more of an exchange, as Fifth-order Spiritual Objects were so rare and precious they couldn’t be measured by Spirit Stones. Instead, they employed the most primitive method of trade—bartering objects for objects.
Li Zhirui took out a vast number of Fourth and Top-Tier Fifth-order Treasure Pills and exchanged them with Xuanfa Pavilion for one Fifth-order Fengshui Spirit Object.
Saying so, he retrieved a Jade Box from his storage ring.
Jiang Fengwu opened it up to see, inside, a ring lying quietly, its center a swirl of green, with surging Spirit Wind enveloped by a motionless ring of deep blue Spirit Water.
