Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2104 1521: The Method

The Great Dao is impartial!

Though beings born with spiritual sentience possess exceptionally high aptitudes and unique standings, the sheer difficulty of their genesis severely restricts them.

Consequently, the might of the heavenly tribulation isn't augmented by Qing Si's status but is primarily dictated by his innate potential.

Born with the Law of Wind and Thunder, tribulation thunder represented nothing more than an intensified form of lightning to Qing Si, something his physical body could endure.

Furthermore, he possessed the ability to absorb the tribulation thunder's power, thereby replenishing his own essence and mending his injuries.

Ultimately, following the thunder tribulation, Qing Si appeared battered, yet his spirit radiated an unprecedented vigor.

Shortly thereafter, a streak of black light materialized, and he commenced his confrontation with the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Within a sea of consciousness where azure and violet hues mingled, a creature resembling an ox, enveloped by swirling wind and thunder, was perched upon a lotus stage, fully enveloped by a pristine white spiritual luminescence.

The instant the heart demon manifested in his consciousness, a piercing flash of white light struck directly into its core, eliciting a pained wail.

In the ensuing moment, it acutely perceived its power being subdued!

This revelation stunned the heart demon. Throughout its long existence as an Outer Heaven Demon, such a predicament was a rare occurrence.

Gazing at Qing Si, shielded by the peculiar white light, it felt a profound reluctance to accept defeat, as the repercussions of failure were dire—potentially leading to complete annihilation!

With a determined clench of its teeth, it channeled its mana anew, meticulously crafting a Heart Demon Illusion Realm.

This time, however, rather than attacking rashly, it employed a divine secret technique, intending to discern the opponent's vulnerabilities before launching a targeted assault!

Just as the heart demon began to believe its efforts would be in vain, it suddenly perceived a faint fissure of fear buried deep within Qing Si's heart!

This discovery filled the heart demon with elation; it was truly astonished to find that his mental state indeed harbored a flaw.

Despite its delight, it remained vigilant, proceeding with caution and gradually drawing Qing Si into the Heart Demon Illusion Realm, inch by agonizing inch.

His perceived imperfection was not substantial, but at critical junctures, it could become the decisive factor between triumph and ruin, life and death!

For instance, at this very moment!

Qing Si, having preemptively consumed the Exorcism and God Protection Treasure Pill, had anticipated a serene passage through the Heart Demon Tribulation, thus letting his guard down, becoming somewhat relaxed and careless.

Unexpectedly, witnessing Li Zhirui's earlier tribulation transcendence had instilled a residual trace of fear within his dao heart, which the heart demon was now exploiting.

Combined with his negligence, he unknowingly succumbed to the illusion meticulously woven by the heart demon.

In a state of bewilderment, Qing Si perceived Li Zhirui's form, but abruptly, his demeanor towards him shifted dramatically, abandoning all prior friendliness and kindness.

Where he was once treated as an equal, he was now, for reasons unknown, perceived as a mere slave!

Enduring constant reprimands and scolding became the norm, but what struck him as most unbelievable and agonizing was 'Li Zhirui' using him as a sacrifice to The Great Dao for the comprehension of Laws.

Initially, Qing Si refused to believe it, loudly questioning the reason for such treatment. Hadn't he been treated well before? Why the sudden, drastic change in attitude?

"Hahahaha, I treated you well before, naturally, to lower your guard so I could act!"

'Li Zhirui' erupted in laughter, stating, "Cease your struggle and resistance; obediently become a stepping stone on my cultivation path!"

These pronouncements deeply wounded Qing Si. He found it impossible to accept their veracity, yet these very words emanated from the lips of his trusted companion, Jiu.

"Hahahahaha..."

In that instant, Qing Si let out a sob-choked laugh, filled with profound misery and desolation, laughing until tears streamed uncontrollably.

The heart demon, still posing as Li Zhirui, observed his imminent complete breakdown, the minuscule crack in his dao heart widening, and was filled with immense joy.

It appeared this time, its obstruction of the tribulation's progress would be successful!

Now, all that remained was to maintain the charade and relentlessly assault Qing Si's mind until he faltered, after which it would claim its prize.

'By consuming this individual's cultivation and realm, I aspire to achieve further advancements!'

The more it contemplated this, the more thrilled the heart demon became, abandoning its former caution and meticulousness.

However, it mattered little, for in Qing Si's current vulnerable state, he was incapable of discerning any anomaly.

Moreover, barring unforeseen circumstances, his destiny was sealed: to become prey for the Outer Heaven Demon!

...

"Hasn't Qing Si concluded the Heart Demon Tribulation yet?"

Li Zhirui, tasked with guarding outside, couldn't help but furrow his brow. With a mere thought, his gaze pierced through the layers of space, focusing directly on Qing Si, who was at the heart of the distant lightning tribulation.

"How can this be?!"

His initial glance stunned him with what he witnessed.

Qing Si was radiating demonic qi, his entire aura beginning to wane, and even his vitality was slowly draining away.

All indicators pointed to the unmistakable fact that he was on the brink of failing the tribulation!

"It's impossible! Given Qing Si's mental fortitude and Dao heart, it's utterly unreasonable for him to fail!"

Especially since Li Zhirui had personally observed him consuming the Exorcism and God Protection Treasure Pill. Considering his condition then and the pill's support, this turn of events was truly perplexing.

"Could something be occurring that I am entirely unaware of?"

He knitted his brows, his expression growing dark and heavy, unable to fathom the reason behind this predicament, nor was he willing to accept this outcome.

However, ensnared within the tribulation, Qing Si was beyond the reach of any outsider like himself!

"Wait!"

Abruptly, Li Zhirui conceived of a potential solution, but almost immediately, a flicker of hesitation and doubt crossed his face, as the potential failure of his idea carried the risk of dire consequences for both himself and Qing Si.

While he might be able to salvage himself through his own cultivation and strength, for Qing Si in his current state, failure meant absolute annihilation!

"Enough dithering!"

Yet, in the very next moment, Li Zhirui recognized that with Qing Si's precarious situation, any inaction would likely result in him being consumed by his inner demons, facing utter obliteration.

It was better to risk everything!

His resolve hardened, and Li Zhirui ceased his hesitation. He settled himself cross-legged in the void, and a radiant white lotus materialized beneath him. Composing his mind, he began to expound upon the Purification Principle.

His voice resonated like a colossal bell, carrying far and wide, yet it bore no trace of mana; it relied solely on his personal strength and the power of his voice.

The deliberate absence of mana was naturally to circumvent the heavenly tribulation, which would perceive any such infusion as external interference, whereas naturally propagated sounds carried no hint of his aura.

After lecturing for a significant period and observing no adverse reaction from the Heavenly Dao, Li Zhirui exhaled a sigh of relief, confirming that his unconventional method was indeed viable!
