Ninth-grade Martial Immortal.
That was
Thinking back to when she and Li Yue'er had parted ways, and recalling her cultivation at that time before comparing it to the her of now — such progress left even
At that moment, Chu Feng finally understood why those people had worn such expressions when they witnessed his own advancement.
Truly, advancing too quickly could leave one genuinely stunned.
Moreover, Li Yue'er was still attempting to break through at this very moment — she was charging toward the Sovereign realm.
And for Li Yue'er to have made such tremendous progress, Chu Feng felt that it was largely thanks to this Li Ancestral Formation.
Truthfully, ever since entering this Li Ancestral Formation, Chu Feng had been able to sense that its power was extraordinary. The deeper one went, the more formidable the heaven and earth energy became.
This was indeed a rare sacred ground for cultivation.
Having entered such a place, Chu Feng had naturally attempted to comprehend the heaven and earth energy here as well.
Unfortunately, the heaven and earth energy here seemed to have formed some kind of covenant with the
Of course, this was merely a suspicion, and the reason for that suspicion was that Chu Feng himself was unable to comprehend the heaven and earth energy here.
But Li Yue'er was clearly using the power of this place to attempt her breakthrough, so even though it was only a guess, Chu Feng felt that this was most likely the case.
"Sometimes, fortune and opportunity really are something to be envious of."
At this moment, Chu Feng couldn't help but let out a sigh of contemplation.
Thinking about it — after leaving the Hundred Refinements Mortal World, how many trials had Chu Feng endured? How many forbidden grounds had he braved? How many brushes with death had he experienced before finally achieving his current level of cultivation?
Yet Li Yue'er had made such tremendous progress relying solely on this one Li Ancestral Formation. This fully proved a certain truth.
In the world of martial cultivators, talent and effort were both indispensable.
But ultimately, how far one could go still came down to fortune and destiny.
Without sufficient fortune and destiny, unless one's talent was truly heaven-defying, no amount of effort would make a difference.
Conversely, even without talent and without working hard enough, if one encountered a great enough opportunity, one could still reap enormous rewards.
On this matter, Chu Feng had deep personal experience. Although his current cultivation was inseparable from his own talent and effort in addition to his opportunities, had it not been for the fortune he carried and the assistance of powerful experts on multiple occasions, who knew how many times Chu Feng would have died along the way?
Even Chu Feng himself had to admit that his luck… was actually quite good.
But this girl Li Yue'er's luck seemed pretty good too.
Mmn—
Suddenly, Li Yue'er's delicate face twisted, contorted with a look of pain.
"This girl seems to have run into trouble."
Chu Feng had long since noticed that the lightning within the formation's core had been triggered by Li Yue'er.
Within this Li Ancestral Formation, for Li Yue'er to break through in her cultivation, comprehending the heaven and earth energy alone was far from sufficient.
She also had to endure the trial of the formation core's power.
"Looks like I'll need to give this girl a hand."
As Chu Feng spoke, he prepared to step into the formation core.
"Young man, this old man offers you a word of advice."
"This formation can only be entered by members of the Li Heavenly Clan. If you go in, you won't gain even the slightest benefit."
But just at that moment, a deep and resonant voice suddenly echoed throughout the great hall.
Chu Feng looked around in every direction but saw no figure whatsoever. Likewise, he couldn't determine from where the voice had originated.
"Dare I ask who you are, senior?" Chu Feng clasped his fists and asked.
At this moment, Chu Feng was highly vigilant. He was certain — within this Li Ancestral Formation, it should not be just him and Li Yue'er. There was another presence here.
And this presence's strength was most likely above his own.
"Who this old man is, you need not know. This old man merely wishes for you to understand that the power here can only be utilized by members of the Li Heavenly Clan."
"Although the benefits are exclusive to the descendants of the Li Heavenly Clan, should you enter this formation, the lightning will still attack you."
"In simple terms — if you enter that formation, you will gain none of the benefits, but you won't be spared any of the drawbacks either." The voice rang out once more.
"
"Help her? A mere junior like you — why don't you take a closer look at how fearsome that lightning is? If you step into it, you will surely be obliterated — body and soul both destroyed." The voice turned mocking. This presence clearly didn't believe that Chu Feng truly intended to help Li Yue'er.
