Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 534 - 502 Bottleneck Loosening, Impacting Crystallization
The fall of the Red-tailed Crocodile attracted the attention of many cultivators in the vicinity to the movements on Lu Zhiwei’s side.
Looking at the massive body of the Red-tailed Crocodile lying sprawled on the ground was such a shocking sight, and many cultivators were momentarily filled with surprise.
If not witnessed firsthand, it’s hard to believe that this Red-tailed Crocodile was slain by Lu Zhiwei.
With a wave of her jade hand, she from a distance reclaimed the Demon-locking Ring. Sweeping her gaze over Lin Zhiyin, Xu Shouye, and others, Lu Zhiwei said,
"The demon beast is slain; we need no longer seek support."
This voice, enhanced by magical power, was clearly heard by all the cultivators present.
"Lu Daoist, such skill—impressive!"
Xu Shouye was the first to speak, his gaze toward Lu Zhiwei filled with reverence.
Lu Zhiwei directly proved her worth as captain with her strength.
Who among the present possessed such power as hers!
"Since the Red-tailed Crocodile has been slain by Lu Daoist, there’s naturally no need for us to seek support any longer."
Lin Zhiyin spoke, feeling somewhat ashamed in front of Lu Zhiwei.
Their ages were similar, yet Lu Zhiwei’s strength was so formidable, and henceforth the gap between her and Lu Zhiwei would only widen.
The other Qi Cultivators and cultivators from various factions were also filled with awe for Lu Zhiwei.
They fully endorsed the strength of this captain.
After exchanging greetings with Lin Zhiyin and the others, Lu Zhiwei quickly took action, commanding the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword towards the demon beast group, targeting two Tier Two High-Grade demon beasts.
The effect of the critical strike could last for an hour, it was certainly time to make good use of it.
To slay one more demon beast is to ensure no time is wasted.
As the flying sword was unleashed, the azure light it radiated was exceedingly brilliant in the eyes of many cultivators.
With a slicing sound.
The Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword directly cut into one of the Tier Two High-Grade demon beasts, cleaving through its robust escape armor.
In a short time, this demon beast had no power to retaliate, meeting its death by Lu Zhiwei’s sword.
After slaying one demon beast, the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword continued its flight, striking another demon beast.
The result was the same as with the previous demon beast, instantly it had no chance to resist, and it perished in an instant.
In the time that followed, Lu Zhiwei continued to demonstrate her divine might, and wherever the flying sword passed, demon beasts fell to the ground with a single strike.
Lu Zhiwei occasionally performed the Shadow Transformation Sword Form, dispatching nine flying swords to unleash a large-scale attack on the demon beasts.
These demon beasts were inherently far less powerful than Lu Zhiwei, unable to withstand her attacks.
Moreover, this was Lu Zhiwei under the effect of the critical strike.
Lu Zhiwei could basically slay a demon beast with a single stroke.
Especially when performing the Shadow Transformation Sword Form, the nine flying swords at least enveloped four demon beasts within their attack range, utterly annihilating them.
In this way, with the passage of time, the number of demon beasts slain by Lu Zhiwei increased continuously.
When the effect of the critical strike finally dissipated, the bodies of over five hundred demon beasts lay around Lu Zhiwei.
The number of demon beasts slain left Lin Zhiyin and the others utterly astonished.
It could be said that where Lu Zhiwei stood, not a blade of grass survived.
The group battled for over an hour, their qi blood and magical power nearly depleted, ultimately succeeding in exterminating this batch of demon beasts.
Lu Zhiwei’s battle achievements drew the attention of many cultivators.
As an artifact refiner, Lu Zhiwei was well aware of the value of these demon beasts and, in her strikes, tried to preserve the parts of the demon beasts’ bodies useful as refining materials.
Once the bodies were collected, everyone rested and meditated on-site to recover qi blood and magical power.
"Father, it seems like my cultivation bottleneck is loosening."
Lu Zhiwei communicated to Lu Ping.
"Hm?"
Lu Ping’s expression shifted slightly.
Feeling the cultivation bottleneck loosening—could this be a sign of breaking through to the Crystallization Stage?
Before Lu Ping could inquire further, Lu Zhiwei’s voice came again.
"Father, I want to attempt a breakthrough to the Crystallization Stage right here."
"The recent effect of the critical strike allowed me some insight into the power of the Crystallization Stage. I seem to be able to touch upon its threshold." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"Attempting to break through to the Crystallization Stage!"
Hearing his daughter’s intention, Lu Ping truly felt his daughter was being audacious.
This was the front line where demon beasts roamed!
Attempting a breakthrough to the Crystallization Stage here was risky indeed.
No one could guarantee when demon beasts might attack.
Should a swarm of demon beasts assault, Lu Zhiwei wouldn’t be able to fight while breaking through to the Crystallization Stage.
It would certainly be awkward.
And dangerous too.
"Zhiwei, are you sure you want to break through your cultivation here?"
"The peril here is something you must know."
"Zhiwei, have you thought this through?"
Rather than immediately rejecting Lu Zhiwei’s idea, Lu Ping sought to confirm her proposal.
After all, encountering a loosening cultivation state is a rare opportunity.
If seized, there’s a significant chance of breaking through to the Crystallization Stage.
The benefits would be considerable, something Lu Ping was well aware of.
During his time, he experienced a similar occurrence, making breakthroughs on the battlefield.
In battles with opponents, he even gained sudden insights, breaking through bottlenecks at the moment, rising in cultivation.
Hearing the seriousness in Lu Ping’s tone, Lu Zhiwei appeared earnest.
She pondered briefly, then resolutely nodded.
"Father, I’ve thought it through."
Lu Zhiwei responded.
"Good!"
With Lu Zhiwei’s affirmative reply, Lu Ping had no further comments.
Zhiwei’s intentions came from her heart, and Lu Ping supported her wholeheartedly.
The key issues were whether it was feasible and safe.
Staying close by, he wouldn’t hesitate to take action if any danger arose.
Without much delay, Lu Zhiwei promptly informed Lin Zhiyin, Xu Shouye, and other Foundation Establishment cultivators, expressing her intention to conduct on-site cultivation, aiming for a breakthrough to the Crystallization Stage.
Hearing Lu Zhiwei’s intention, Lin Zhiyin was exceedingly surprised. The initial shock concerning Lu Zhiwei hadn’t fully dissipated yet.
Now, Lu Zhiwei planned an on-site breakthrough, leaving Lin Zhiyin astounded.
Not only Lin Zhiyin, but Ye Wanyu, Xu Shouye, and other Foundation Establishment cultivators were also incredulous, their gazes fixed on Lu Zhiwei for a while.
"Lu Daoist, are you serious?"
Ye Wanyu asked solemnly.
"Naturally."
"I must trouble fellow Daoists to guard this place temporarily, and Xu Daoist to temporarily assume the role of captain."
Lu Zhiwei said.
"Alright."
Xu Shouye agreed readily.
Under everyone’s gaze, Lu Zhiwei found a relatively quiet place beneath an ancient towering tree and began meditating for cultivation.
