Jiang Fan successfully passed the Outer Celestial Demon tribulation, his soul power strengthening. He prepares to face the Integration Thunder Tribulation, a difficult final step to becoming an Integration Stage Cultivator. His companions, Su Weiwei and Lu Youyou, arrive to witness this momentous occasion and express awe at the terrifying power of the impending tribulation.

With these obstacles surmounted, the final challenge naturally posed no issue.

"If that's the case, then that's wonderful."

A sense of relief washed over Lu Youyou as she nodded.

Her master's assessment indicated that her husband's successful completion of the tribulation was virtually guaranteed.

"Weiwei, this is a tremendous opportunity for you."

At this juncture, the Taiyin Jade Rabbit beside Su Weiwei transmitted its thoughts, "For a Void Refining Cultivator to advance to the Integration stage, triggering the most formidable Integration Thunder Tribulation, is an exceptionally rare occurrence that demands careful observation."

"Observe carefully? What exactly are the benefits derived from this?"

Su Weiwei inquired with evident curiosity.

"The advantages are vast; the primary benefit lies in the potential to comprehend Dao rhyme."

"When the thunder tribulation descends, cultivators possessing exceptional perception can grasp the Dao rhyme embedded within the tempest."

"The more Dao rhyme one comprehends, the more it will bolster their future cultivation journey."

"For instance, it can expedite the cultivation speed of both magical and divine powers, and may even grant the comprehension of Heaven and Earth Laws."

"In the bygone Ancient Era, witnessing such a prodigy's tribulation was an event that outsiders were seldom permitted to attend."

"Every vantage point nearby was considered a premium seat, commanding astonishing prices through sale."

The Taiyin Jade Rabbit reminisced with a touch of emotion.

It had not anticipated Su Weiwei being presented with such a chance.

The chance to witness the might of an Integration Stage Five Elements Thunder Tribulation would be immensely beneficial for a Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

Such encounters were far from commonplace.

"Comprehend Dao rhyme, you say?"

"Indeed, during the manifestation of a thunder tribulation, the efficacy of comprehending Dao rhyme is significantly heightened."

Su Weiwei couldn't help but agree, nodding in affirmation of this point.

It seemed that when the thunder tribulation descended, the souls of mortals could draw nearer to the very essence of Heaven and Earth Laws.

The closer one stood to the heart of the tribulation lightning, the more profound their comprehension would be.

This was precisely why her husband had brought her here; the prospective benefits for her cultivation were immense, far surpassing any material cultivation resources available.

......

Evidently, this Integration Stage Thunder Tribulation persisted for a full seven days and nights.

The full might of the Five Elements Tribulation Thunder was unleashed.

The destructive force of each bolt of tribulation lightning was on par with a full assault from a standard Integration Cultivator.

Under such circumstances, an ordinary cultivator might well have succumbed to the tribulation lightning's fury.

However, shielded by a multitude of magical treasures, Jiang Fan managed to navigate this Integration Thunder Tribulation without suffering catastrophic harm.

"Finally, I've succeeded."

By this point, Jiang Fan's attire was tattered, with only scant remnants adorning his person, and his body bore the crimson marks etched by the tribulation lightning.

Furthermore, the pervasive aura of the tribulation lightning significantly hampered his body's natural recuperation.

Were it not for this lingering power, his recovery might have been instantaneous.

Now, the majority of the primordial magical power coursing through him had been depleted.

The potency of each magical treasure he possessed had been somewhat diminished.

The surrounding terrain was pockmarked with craters, mountains reduced to rubble, and numerous lakes had formed upon the ravaged ground.

The tribulation clouds that had darkened the sky gradually dissipated, vanishing as if they had never materialized.

Boom~~

In the ensuing moment, a colossal surge of origin energy cascaded from the void, akin to an incoming tide, permeating Jiang Fan's physical form – a benevolent bestowal from the Heavenly Dao.

Upon successfully enduring a thunder tribulation, any survivor is blessed with the Heavenly Dao's gift.

The greater the ferocity of the tribulation overcome, the more substantial the ensuing gift.

At this very instant, Jiang Fan felt his injuries rapidly mending, the lingering essence of tribulation lightning being purged, and the primordial magical power within him burgeoning at a visible rate.

This modest portion of the Heavenly Dao's gift alone was sufficient to furnish him with advantages equivalent to hundreds, if not thousands, of years of strenuous cultivation.

Concurrently, he perceived a remarkable acceleration in his intrinsic life force, his lifespan experiencing a notable extension, and his physical vessel growing more capable of accommodating greater reserves of longevity-sustaining substances.

"Now, I can finally be considered an Integration Stage Cultivator."

"Although I've merely reached the First-Layer Integration, the transformation from my prior state is absolutely monumental."

Jiang Fan clenched his fist, reveling in the palpable changes within his being.

The most immediate sensation was that his capacity to harness the ambient power of the heavens and earth had amplified by at least several tens of times compared to before.

With a mere thought, the abundant Qi of heaven and earth in his surroundings stirred as if an extension of his own being, easily wielded as though he had merged with the cosmos itself.

Without question, even the baseline combat strength of a First-Layer Integration Cultivator vastly surpasses that of a Refining Void Perfection Cultivator, multiplied tens of times over, not to mention other disparities.

The second significant alteration, naturally, stemmed from the transformations within his physical form.

Upon ascending to the Integration Stage, his body transcended its mortal limits, becoming an incorporeal energy form.

He gained the capacity to regenerate severed limbs.

For instance, should an adversary manage to sever both of his hands, given adequate time, they would spontaneously regrow without the necessity of any spiritual elixirs.

Such is the formidable resilience of an Integration Stage Cultivator's physique.

"However, as I am presently only at the First-Layer Integration, this limb regeneration ability isn't yet at its peak," he mused.

"While severed hands and feet can persistently regenerate."

"Their regeneration becomes considerably more complex should vital internal organs be destroyed."

Jiang Fan stroked his chin thoughtfully.

In essence, following his advancement to the Integration Stage, his physical constitution underwent continuous evolution.

During the early phase of Integration, limbs could regenerate continuously.

As one progressed to the mid-stage, internal organs achieved the same regenerative capability.

Upon reaching the late stage of Integration, the physique becomes exponentially more terrifying; even a severed head or a destroyed heart could regenerate relentlessly, eradicating the physical body as a cultivator's vulnerability.

If, prior to the Integration Stage, a cultivator's physique represented a significant weakness—a common trade-off of high offensive power with fragile defense—this deficiency began to vanish post-Integration.

The physique transformed from a liability into a formidable asset, forging them into truly formidable, well-rounded combatants.

"Nevertheless, for cultivators at the Integration Stage, the evolution of their physique is but a superficial development," he noted.

"What truly defines the combat prowess of an Integration Cultivator is their mastery over the fundamental laws of existence. That is, their command over Domain Power."

Jiang Fan tightened his fist.

Undeniably, the most profound metamorphosis for Integration Cultivators lies in the transformation of their domain.

The domains found at the Void Refining Level and the Integration Level exist on entirely different planes, truly belonging to separate dimensions.

More specifically, after breaking through to the Integration Stage, the power of the primordial spirit undergoes further profound alteration.

At this juncture, an Integration Stage Cultivator gains the ability, through their primordial spirit's power, to perceive the hidden Laws of Heaven and Earth deep within the void.

Achieving resonance with a specific Law of Heaven and Earth allows for its potential leverage.

Consequently, the eruption of battle power could surge exponentially, potentially tens of times greater.

The greater the resonance achieved, the more the power of these laws can be drawn upon.

"Standard cultivators who have just reached the First-Layer Integration can typically resonate with a single Law of Heaven and Earth, which is considered quite adept," he explained.

"However, my path is unique, owing to my cultivation of the Mixed Element Talisman Scripture."

"Furthermore, I have meticulously inscribed Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans onto my being."

"What distinguishes these Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans from their Mortal Spirit Talisman counterparts is their innate ability to facilitate resonance with the laws for mortal cultivators, thereby easing their comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Laws."

"Mortal Spirit Talismans, conversely, are incapable of achieving this."

"This stark difference highlights the immense chasm between Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans and Mortal Spirit Talismans."

A surge of excitement coursed through Jiang Fan.

He then activated his Primordial Domain.

An immense wave of domain power expanded outwards, encompassing an area spanning millions of kilometers.

Within the perceptive range of his primordial spirit, various Laws of Heaven and Earth began to resonate harmoniously with his spiritual core.

This phenomenon originated from the Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans embedded deep within his primordial spirit.

Take, for instance, the Heaven-Time Talisman, the Heaven-Reaching Bridge Talisman, the Heaven-Dominating Blade Talisman, and the Heavenly Glory Bracelet Talisman, among others. Each Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman appeared to resonate independently with the ambient laws.

These Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans functioned akin to conduits, establishing a connection with the Laws of Heaven and Earth; through these channels, he could perpetually perceive the profound Dao rhymes of the laws, enabling him to delve deeper into the mysteries of the Heaven and Earth Laws.

"This is the very bedrock of attaining the Dao, the true foundation for ascension."

"It's no wonder that numerous revered ancestors of the Primordial Talisman Sect harbored an intense desire to cultivate the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans."

"What is perceived as destructive force and offensive might is merely a facet of their enigmatic capabilities."

"Their profound essence lies in their capacity to significantly assist cultivators in unraveling the complexities of the Heaven and Earth Laws."

Once successfully cultivated, it's akin to paving the path to advancing to Mahayana, or even to becoming an Immortal. Jiang Fan felt immensely excited within.
