Chapter 545: Chapter 288: Brace Yourself for the Onslaught (Extended Chapter)

A wisp of Dao Power surpasses thousands of strands of Spiritual Power!

For a Great Master of Harmonization Dao, the requirements for a cultivation site are also elevated. It is not enough for the Spirit Vein to be of high grade; the place must also have a strong force of creation and abundant natural Dao rhythm to be considered a "blessed land" for cultivation.

All one hundred and eight main peaks of the Dao Sect are such blessed lands.

Above the blessed land, there exists "Grotto Heaven," which is of a higher level. It is said to nurture immortal secrets, and even within the Dao Sect, "Grotto Heaven" is rare, accessible only to the Supreme.

...

Now, Li An can already be called a "Great Master."

Even in the golden era, a Great Master remains among the ranks of the experts under heaven.

Moreover, Li An’s Primordial Spirit is exceptionally peculiar, exuding a divine glow, surpassing even talents like Song Wujing by several times.

This is the benefit of enduring enough Heavenly Thunder baptism!

His application and perception of the power of the Great Dao would far exceed ordinary people!

To an average genius, Li An seems utterly unmatched, and he even secretly wonders if he can compete with true geniuses of the Great Dao, like Yun Qian?

......

Becoming a Great Master involves not only the qualitative transformation from Nascent Soul to Primordial Spirit but also significant progress in other areas.

In terms of longevity, he directly surged by five thousand years!

Now, Li An’s upper lifespan limit is approximately fifteen thousand years.

This means he only needs to enter the Mahayana Stage before turning seventy-five hundred years old.

And for a typical Great Master of Harmonization Dao, even those practicing wood element cultivation techniques known for longevity, their lifespan cannot exceed ten thousand years, with an average of seven to eight thousand years.

Li An is currently one thousand six hundred and fifty-three years old. Among the Harmonization Dao cultivators of the Dao Sect, he is considered old in age, but considering his lifespan, he is still very young.

The leap in Divine Sense sensitivity allows the Primordial Spirit to perceive deeper and more subtle things, with the range expanding to tens of millions of miles; now Li An, with a sweep, can see the entire region like the Emperor Origin Realm at a glance.

"The initial formation of Primordial Spirit is called Harmonization Dao, leaving the body is Mahayana, undergoing calamities is termed Crossing the Tribulation!"

Li An whispered.

In the stage of Harmonization Dao, it is necessary to continuously absorb Dao Power from heaven and earth, waiting until the power of the Great Dao is immense enough to bear the Primordial Spirit leaving the body and making a Carefree Travel, thus reaching the next stage – Mahayana.

The so-called Mahayana is precisely to travel with the Dao, being grand and magnificent.

The Primordial Spirit leaves the body carefree between heaven and earth, exploring immortal secrets, achieving further transformation until the Primordial Spirit is marked by creation, descending three disasters and six tribulations, thereby entering the Tribulation Crossing Stage. If passed, one leaps to immortality; if not, one turns into a grain of dust.

The path of immortal cultivation can be roughly divided into three segments before achieving immortality: the first segment being Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation; the second segment being (Purple Mansion), Nascent Soul, Refining Void; and the third segment is Harmonization Dao, Mahayana, Crossing the Tribulation.

He has already reached the final stage of the journey.

"...Master once said that after entering Harmonization Dao, the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill becomes extraordinarily effective, but where is the right place?"

He remembered some words from the past said by Purple Fairy and immediately sensed the surroundings, yet felt that the Great Dao energy on Nanfu Island was chaotic and not a creation blessed land, making it difficult to absorb the power of the Great Dao from it.

However, he was not in a hurry and instead stood up, looking toward the firmament.

At this moment, several Heavenly Thunders were still descending.

These few Heavenly Thunders were no longer his; they were targeting the gray giant eagle.

—Li An placed the gray giant eagle beside himself, using his body to shield it, precisely to attract the Heavenly Thunder.

Having completed Harmonization Dao, Li An took a step, astonishingly reaching out to forcibly grip the Heavenly Thunder and keep it.

Rumble!

Thunder burst in his hand, fiercely and ferociously, even though Li An was already a Great Master, he was still blasted with blood dripping from his hands and bones exposed, as the Thunder targeted the gray giant eagle, while Li An stubbornly trapped the Thunder.

He was battling with this Thunder.

He was not absorbing the power of the Thunder but merely trying to control it.

The difficulty was extremely high!

Not far away, the gray giant eagle shivered, utterly terrified, teetering on the brink of death. If this Thunder struck again, it would be obliterated into gray ashes.

All thanks to Li An’s obstruction.

Li An used his body as an array to intercept this Thunder while focusing on the sky.

He was waiting for the Celestial Tribulation to end!

By then, if this Thunder was still left over, then... perhaps his idea could succeed.

The blood and flesh on Li An’s body continuously burst open; he persisted for a full four hours.

Finally, as the sky gradually darkened, the firmament slowly returned to calmness, perhaps creation itself had grown weary of this tedious game with Li An.

Celestial Tribulation...

Ended!

"The remnants of Heavenly Thunder, have I succeeded?!"

Li An looked at the Thunder in front of him, overjoyed to the extreme; he directly opened the Immortal Coffin and put the gray giant eagle inside, then stopped obstructing, and that Thunder also entered the Immortal Coffin.

Then, he released the gray giant eagle again, closed the Immortal Coffin, and threw the Immortal Coffin several hundred miles away, observing the situation in the sky, always ready to escape.

Fortunately, after a long while, there was no movement.

Only then did he retrieve the Immortal Coffin.

"Acquired a Thunderbolt!"

Li An was overjoyed.

This was precisely his goal.

The power of Heavenly Thunder is immensely great, and against sinister and evil entities, Primordial Spirits, evil demons, and even bizarre auras, it has a restraining effect!

With this, he had one more trump card.

"This will definitely threaten Lady Yi’s Primordial Spirit!"

Li An murmured.

His main target for collecting Heavenly Thunder is indeed Lady Yi.

According to his plan, if everything goes smoothly, he could deceive Lady Yi into walking the path of "flesh reconstruction," by then her old form would perish, leaving only a pure thought...
