Chapter 546: Chapter 552: Recovery Chapter 546: Chapter 552: Recovery The news that Jiang Fengwu was about to break through to Nascent Soul spread rapidly among the clan mbers, stirring a buzz like an adrenaline shot, setting the atmosphere abuzz with feverish excitent.
“Aunt Fengwu, are the words circulating within the family true?” Li Zhiyue also made a special trip to verify.
Jiang Fengwu nodded and said, “It’s true. Not long ago, I broke through the shackles while outside, and I’ve returned this ti intending to enter closed-door cultivation.”
Seeing the anxious look on Li Zhiyue’s face, Jiang Fengwu imdiately guessed her thoughts and spoke bluntly, “I used a very risky thod which could have easily cost my life had I been just a bit careless, so I don’t recomnd you do the sa.”
In the balance between life and death, one careless move could really end in death!
Had it not been for the nurous life-saving asures at Jiang Fengwu’s disposal, she wouldn’t have dared to take such a mad risk.
“You’re still young, there’s no need to rush like this.”
But seeing Li Zhiyue’s expression, Jiang Fengwu understood that her words were not heeded.
Regarding this, Jiang Fengwu said nothing more. She had already issued her warnings, and there was nothing she could do if the other party didn’t believe her.
After Li Zhiyue had taken her leave, Jiang Fengwu began to comprehend the Hundred Mile Marsh Array, striving to complete the Island Defense Array as quickly as possible so she could withdraw into closed-door cultivation.
Days and nights passed, ti marched on.
Before long, it was three months later.
That day, the Hundred Mile Marsh Array, overseen by Jiang Fengwu, was successfully put in place!
The reason it took so long was primarily due to a lack of certain materials, just waiting for these Spirit Materials consud more than a month.
“Hum—”
As the last spell slipped from Jiang Fengwu’s fingertips, a serene blue water curtain slowly ford, sheltering the entire clan territory and greatly enhancing the sense of security among the clan mbers.
“It feels as if the air has beco much fresher.”
“And the temperature has also beco more suitable.” Not all within the clan were Cultivators; a large part comprised ordinary people serving the Cultivators, as well as children who had not yet had their Spiritual Roots tested.
Many clan mbers had such impressions, looking up at the water curtain in surprise and delight, not realizing this defense had such a feature.
The original Marsh Array didn’t have these features. It was all thanks to Jiang Fengwu’s subsequent additions and modifications, aiming to create a favorable living environnt.
It seed to be quite a success.
While the clan mbers were still abuzz with discussions about the Great Array, Jiang Fengwu quietly returned to her cave dwelling, ready to begin her journey into closed-door breakthrough.
“Mom, with Dad and big brother already in closed-door cultivation, you’re going to do the sa now?” Li Chengshuo said with an unmistakable look of reluctance.
Li Chengsheng’s absence all this ti was because he was in closed-door cultivation.
After the end of the great battle, he felt his realm loosening and, after reporting to Li Zhirui, returned to his cave dwelling to begin closed-door cultivation, eager to strike while the iron was hot and breakthrough to Golden Core!
However, Li Chengsheng was perhaps a bit naive about Core Formation. Almost a year had passed, and there had been no movent from him yet.
“Yes, I plan to break through to Nascent Soul as soon as possible.” By that ti, with a Rank 4 Island Defense Array in place, the defenses of Wanxian Island might not be impenetrable, but they would certainly be two or three levels higher than before.
Even if we encountered a situation like with Shen Leishan again, the Li family would be able to respond more calmly.
“Then you can cultivate in peace. When Dad cos out of cultivation, I’ll tell him you’ve returned.”
She stood like a guardian of the ho, no matter who ca and went, Li Chengshuo would always be there.
“You too must cultivate diligently.”
After giving a word of advice, Jiang Fengwu entered the room, and with the activation of the Formation, Jiang Fengwu began a long period of secluded cultivation.
——
“It seems that Aunt Fengwu must have started her seclusion by now,” Li Zhiyue murmured to herself.
Ever since she learned about the process of Jiang Fengwu’s breakthrough, she had been unable to get it out of her mind, deeply intrigued by the idea.
Li Zhiyue certainly knew how dangerous this thod could be, but what were those dangers compared to the possibility of a Nascent Soul breakthrough?
It was only the current situation of the Li family that held her back, making it impossible for her to leave.
With both Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu in seclusion and Li Zhixuan traveling outside, she was the only Golden Core Late Stage on the island. If she were to leave as well, the family would be in trouble if any danger arose, as Li Chenghuo and others would likely be unable to cope.
So even though Li Zhiyue felt restless, she could only suppress these feelings until either Li Zhirui or Jiang Fengwu erged from their seclusion.
In the cave, unaware of the passage of years, three years had gone by as spring turned to autumn and back again.
By now, all the clan mbers had realized that Li Zhirui’s earlier words were re comforting lies; his injuries had been far from insubstantial.
Fortunately, after a lengthy period of treatnt, Li Zhirui’s injuries had finally healed, and he was now truly beginning his true period of secluded cultivation.
To quell the unease in the hearts of the clan mbers, Li Zhirui made a point to show himself as soon as he was healed.
“Ancestor, the fourth-tier Precious Pills that the family has saved up are running low, and in so ti, I’m afraid we won’t be able to deliver enough Precious Pills to the Southern Edge Comrce Association,” Li Xuefeng reported to him as soon as he appeared.
Li Zhirui frowned. His initial promise to the Southern Edge Comrce Association had trapped both his family and himself.
At the ti, Li Zhirui couldn’t think of a better way to deal with the situation, and without making sacrifices, how could the Southern Edge Comrce Association be expected to help?
“I know,” he responded, “I will begin crafting Precious Pills soon.”
Li Xuefeng then reported on so of the changes the family had undergone in the past few years, including the promotion of the third-tier Spirit Vein infused with the essence of a fourth-tier one, which had brought the Spiritual Energy of the clan’s territory to a new level.
Having said his piece, he very perceptively took his leave.
Only then did Li Zhirui have ti to et with Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, the brother and sister.
“Sheng has broken through to the Golden Core, very good indeed.”
About a year ago, Li Chengsheng faced his own Core Formation Thunder Tribulation.
Since he did not use Sky Cleansing Pills or Golden Ganoderma Pills to assist him, the whole process seed perilously risky.
Fortunately, with a deep foundation, Li Chengsheng eventually managed to overco the Thunder Tribulation successfully, ascending to a true Golden Core cultivator!
And at the sa ti, he had fortuitously awakened a Heavenly Gifted Divine Power—the Great Sun Projection!
Drawing solar energy from the world around, it forms a fiery Sun Sphere, with an incredibly fierce attack strength.
Moreover, because he possessed a Yang Spirit Root, his Pill Fire after Core Formation was also more potent than that of a typical Golden Core cultivator.
Li Zhirui was delighted with this developnt and took out a Jade Box, saying, “This is a fourth-tier Spiritual Object I’ve carefully prepared for you, perfect for crafting your Life-bound Magic Treasure.”
This Spiritual Object ca from Shen Leishan’s stockpile, which he had managed to acquire in exchange for Contribution Value.
The Sun Essence teorite was said to be a true fla from the sun that had fallen to the mortal world, buried deep within the earth for countless years before forming this heaven and earth treasure!
“Thank you, Father!” As soon as Li Chengsheng received it, he felt an imdiate sense of familiarity and closeness, and a smile appeared on his face.
