Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 1230 - 1084: Conjecture

When Li Chengshuo was facing the Thunder Tribulation, Li Zhirui was in deep cultivation, completely unaware of the external situation, but many people, including Jiang Fengwu and Li Chengsheng, were called out.

Adding in the other Integration-level cultivators, the protective force was immensely strong, ensuring there was no need to worry about external interference or sabotage.

"Shuo’er’s cultivation speed is simply too fast. At this rate, he might even surpass Father, right?" Li Chengsheng’s face showed a trace of envy.

Currently, he was still lingering in the early Integration stage, but even so, at his current age and cultivation, Li Chengsheng was already considered a genius!

That said, Li Chengsheng’s opportunities weren’t bad either. He owned a Fusang Divine Tree, which allowed him to comprehend the Sun Laws at any time, enhancing his realm.

As long as his comprehension was high enough, having the Divine Tree meant there wasn’t much difficulty in ascending to immortality for Li Chengsheng.

But compared to Li Chengshuo, Li Chengsheng couldn’t help but feel envious.

"You really don’t know how lucky you are, do you, kid?" Xiaoqing couldn’t help but chuckle and scold.

Others might not have known about the presence of the Fusang Divine Tree, but the upper echelons of the family were well aware. Having such a bright, foreseeable future and still envying others—how could the rest of them possibly live with that?

"Shuo’er won’t maintain this speed of cultivation for long." Jiang Fengwu gently reminded, "The Wanling Sutra is missing its subsequent cultivation techniques, and she’ll need to allocate time to deduce it."

Although many of the Integration-level family members had either created or modified cultivation techniques perfectly tailored to themselves, like Da Qing, Li Chengsheng, and Li Xianxun, they also faced similar issues.

However, Da Qing and others had the complete Earth Spirit Tao Record to refer to, Li Chengsheng could comprehend the Fusang Divine Tree, and Li Xianxun also had his unique opportunities, all of which helped them deduce further techniques.

But the Wanling Sutra, inherited by the family, due to its distinctiveness and unique path, had never been perfected by cultivators beyond the Mahayana Realm. Its cultivation techniques ended abruptly.

Perhaps it existed somewhere, but the Li family was unaware of its whereabouts, and they could only rely on themselves to deduce further.

Moreover, because they lacked directly related references, they could only deduce the subsequent techniques indirectly, which was naturally much harder than for other family members.

Rumble—

As the group discussed, the first Tribulation Thunder fell down rather softly. It seemed powerful, but in the eyes of the cultivation expert Jiang Fengwu and others who had witnessed Li Zhirui’s Tribulation Transcendence, it was simply incomparable. The force of Li Chengshuo’s thunder tribulation was far inferior!

The group exchanged astonished glances, but no one voiced any opinions aloud and continued observing the Lightning Tribulation.

Subsequent waves of Tribulation Thunder fell one after the other, but the same situation persisted.

This put Jiang Fengwu and the others slightly at ease while also stirring an uncontrollable wave of curiosity in their hearts.

’Do you all remember that Jiu once pointed out this issue?’ Xiaoqing was the first to transmit her voice to the others.

’Back then, Jiu was worried something bad had happened to Chengshuo. But now, it seems he was overly anxious.’

Da Qing, however, did not agree with this statement. ’Jiu’s worries were justified. After all, Chengshuo’s situation is too abrupt and quite rare. It’s indeed worth investigating the cause.’ freeωebnovēl.c૦m

’Isn’t there a saying that the power of a Thunder Tribulation decreases naturally for someone of great karmic merit? Could Shuo’er possibly fall into this category?’ Jiang Fengwu also joined the conversation.

’But over the years, Chengshuo hasn’t done anything that would earn tremendous karmic merit. On the contrary, Jiu has twice led the integration of the Taixu Illusionary Realm into the Primal Spirit Realm, and in one instance, he even took the lead. Logically, he should have gained substantial karmic merit. Yet his Thunder Tribulation wasn’t this small in power.’

Xiaoqing found this explanation dubious. ’It’s not like karmic merit needs to be actively consumed to weaken the Thunder Tribulation, right?’

The group kept their eyes fixed on Li Chengshuo, who was bathed in the Tribulation Thunder while continuously exchanging views through voice transmission.

’I think it could be related to the opportunity Chengshuo encountered earlier!’

Mu abruptly contributed his opinion, offering a new perspective to the group. ’We all know Chengshuo’s body has accumulated a massive amount of Taiyin Moonlight. It’s precisely for this reason that her cultivation speed has been so extraordinary.’

’But in addition to that, could it be that Chengshuo had other occurrences of unique opportunities? And might the weaker power of the Thunder Tribulation be another consequence of one such opportunity?’

This point of view earned the group’s approval, as it seemed more plausible.

And amid their discussion, the sequence of nine Tribulation Thunders had reached its final three!

This time, the Tribulation Thunder matched the power of what Li Zhirui had faced during her Tribulation Transcendence. But that had been the fourth thunderbolt, whereas Li Chengshuo was now on the seventh!

With Tribulation Thunder of this level, unless Li Chengshuo was extremely careless, there was no way she would make a mistake.

However, after enduring seven waves of Tribulation Thunder, Li Chengshuo’s mana was nearly half-depleted. She could only seize the time between strikes to refine a Precious Pill and recover her mana.

But then, an unexpected scene unfolded!

The Thunder Tribulation suddenly gave Li Chengshuo time to rest.

It was as if the Thunder Tribulation had developed its own consciousness, refraining from striking eagerly as before. Instead, it quietly waited, giving Li Chengshuo ample time to recover.

"This..."

Jiang Fengwu, Da Qing, and the others were even more astonished. They had never heard of such a peculiar phenomenon, yet now it was unfolding right before their eyes.

Fortunately, not many family members noticed anything strange, as some were too far away to see the Thunder Tribulation clearly, while others, with their lower cultivation levels and limited perspective, merely assumed the Thunder Tribulation was brewing a more powerful strike.
