The black mist dissipated, and a sinister wind blew.
Outside the Reincarnation Array.
Yun Jing looked at the white-clad female cultivator who had fainted in the very center of the formation, and his hands, which were hanging by his sides, suddenly clenched into fists.
He stared intently at Lu Fuyue's face, forcibly suppressing the urge to rush in and save her, his eyes churning with turbulent emotions.
It was so similar, so very similar. If he hadn't seen her die under the lightning tribulation with his own eyes, even he might have mistaken her for someone else.
Unfortunately, a fake is still a fake, and no matter how similar it is, it's not her.
Thinking of this, a fierce glint flashed in Yun Jing's eyes. He formed a hand seal and used his demonic power as a guide to activate the Reincarnation Array.
As demonic power was injected into the purple stone, countless purple pillars of light instantly rose up again, shooting straight into the sky.
In an instant, the entire Tianxuan Sect was shaken. The mountains and swamps near the Trial Tower began to tilt, shake, collapse, and crack.
The protective spiritual veins buried beneath the sect were all unearthed and hovered above the Trial Tower. A large amount of spiritual energy surged from the spiritual veins and entered the ninth floor of the Trial Tower, nourishing the Reincarnation Array!
The disciples of Tianxuan Sect were shocked to see the spiritual energy rapidly dissipating within the sect. All the elders gathered in the main hall to discuss the sudden disaster.
After all, if a sect loses its spiritual veins, it's equivalent to its cultivators losing their vitality and ceasing to exist.
However, Lu Zhengming failed to appear, and even the law enforcement elders were nowhere to be seen.
They were at a loss for what to do and stood there in silence.
Alchemy Peak.
Elder Dan, who was meditating, felt the tremor beneath him and slowly opened his eyes.
The stone table, teapot, walls, and floor... were all shaking, making thumping sounds.
Beams of purple light shone through the window, while a cold wind rushed in, stinging the skin.
The spiritual energy in the air is almost non-existent, even less than that in the mortal realm.
Elder Dan looked up at the purple pillars of light piercing the sky above the Trial Tower and sighed silently.
Whether the Tianxuan Sect can survive the great calamity depends entirely on today. Apart from the one who breaks the calamity, no one can change the course of events.
...
The eighth trial tower.
There was less than an incense stick's time left until the agreed half-day.
The expressions on the faces of the Tianxuan Sect's patriarch and the two tower spirits grew increasingly solemn. They struggled with all their might to keep the passage to the ninth floor open, hoping to wait for Lu Fuyue to emerge safely.
But as time went by, their spiritual energy gradually depleted, and they were about to give up.
Looking at the Tianxuan Sect, now fragmented and devoid of spiritual energy, the sect's patriarch shook his head, a hint of despair flashing in his eyes. Could it be that the Tianxuan Sect... was really going to be destroyed in his hands?
The two elders, one fat and one thin, opened their mouths as if to comfort the patriarch of the Tianxuan Sect, but after thinking for a moment, they couldn't come up with any words of comfort.
...
Time passed slowly, until the very center of the dimly lit formation.
The golden-red blood flowing from Lu Fuyue's body mingled with the black runes, emitting a large amount of golden light.
As she fell into a coma, her soul began to be pulled out of her body as the formation was activated, but her consciousness gradually returned.
At the same time, a huge golden-red phoenix phantom began to take shape above Lu Fuyue's body.
This phoenix phantom is extremely similar to her real body.
Seeing this, Yun Jing's eyes flashed with excitement. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to circulate his cultivation technique, pouring most of his demonic power into the formation. "Little Phoenix, just wait a little longer. Soon, you will be able to wake up in this body."
As the power of the formation increased, the pulling force within Lu Fuyue's body also increased, and in no time, her soul was pulled out of her body.
Strangely, Yun Jing seemed unaware of her soul's existence, and even this so-called reincarnation formation could not trap her.
Lu Fuyue stepped out of the center of the formation, looked at Yun Jing, and fell silent.
He actually... wanted her to be resurrected.
However, his current actions will only kill her.
In the center of the formation, a golden phoenix figure faintly appeared on the purple stone. Most of Yun Jing's cultivation had already been absorbed by the Reincarnation Formation.
Gradually, his face turned pale, large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his hands, which were forming hand seals, began to tremble.
However, the phoenix phantom had not yet solidified, and the great formation remained unchanged.
Could it be that old man Bingfeng tricked him?
No, that won't happen. Little Phoenix is a member of the Phoenix Clan. As the ancestor of the Phoenix Clan, he would never do such a thing.
It must be because he didn't input enough demonic power, it must be!
Yun Jing looked at the white figure that was already on the verge of death in the formation, but his eyes became more and more obsessive. He gritted his teeth and recklessly poured the last bit of demonic power in his body into the origin of the demon realm.
The consequence of this was that his life force would rapidly dissipate into the world within a short hour, and he would perish.
But he didn't care.
The reason he went to great lengths to conceal the secrets of heaven and escape divine punishment to live until now was to resurrect her.
Gradually, the phoenix phantom floating in the sky became more and more solid, as if it were about to come to life at any moment.
No one knew that Yun Jing had meticulously planned and schemed for hundreds of thousands of years, setting up one trap after another, before finally seizing this opportunity. He would never allow anyone to disrupt the Little Phoenix's resurrection, not even himself.
Lu Fuyue has regained consciousness, but it seems she is not fully awake.
Because at this moment, she was separated from her physical body, and in a state of spiritual separation, she stood aside quietly watching her physical body bleed continuously under the effect of the reincarnation array, but she was unable to intervene.
Just as the phoenix phantom was emanating an increasingly intense aura of phoenix bloodline power...
Suddenly, a golden string appeared out of nowhere, floating in front of Lu Fuyue, swaying left and right, as if it wanted to get close to her very intimately.
Lu Fuyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she raised her hand to gently touch the golden zither string. However, at that moment, the golden zither string transformed into a golden light and entered her brow, entering her sea of consciousness, and quietly appeared on the body of the Weak Water Zither.
As the golden strings returned to their place, an extremely pure spiritual energy was generated within Lu Fuyue's body, circulating throughout her entire body and beginning to break through the barrier of the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.
At the same time, the power of the Divine Soul Pearl that had been sealed within her body also emerged. Two powerful forces surged out from Lu Fuyue's dantian, gradually impacting the barrier of the mid-stage Tribulation Transcending Realm.
Soon, Lu Fuyue's cultivation level soared from the early stage of Tribulation Transcending, to the peak of the middle stage of Tribulation Transcending, the peak of the late stage of Tribulation Transcending, and finally settled at the peak of Tribulation Transcending.
She slowly opened her eyes, never expecting that this misfortune would turn into a blessing, bringing her such a fortunate opportunity.
After successfully contracting the Golden String, Lu Fuyue's cultivation level returned to normal.
She looked up at her lifeless body inside the reincarnation array, pursed her lips, and then formed a hand seal, casting a spell into it.
The next second, her physical body vanished from the spot right in front of Yun Jing.
