Chapter 144: Heaven-Reaching Formation!

Lu Qingyang had revealed his identity, and even his goal.

He wanted to bring down the Li Family.

No, to be precise, the Li Family of the Spirit Realm.

But the Pseudo-Immortal surnamed Hua did not believe him so easily.

Yet the other party did not expose him either.

Only, after hearing Lu Qingyang call himself a Dao-level Formation Master, he froze in place for a long while.

Then he tacitly left.

Only a single voice transmission drifted quietly into Lu Qingyang's ear.

"If you want to get close to the Heaven-Reaching Formation, you must be noticed by the Formation Hall."

Recalling what the other party had said, a smile hooked at the corner of Lu Qingyang's mouth.

There's a chance. This Pseudo-Immortal surnamed Hua has tacitly agreed.

As long as I can show some real skill, I believe there will be many who want to see the Li Family, that great tree, fall!

Thinking of this, Lu Qingyang no longer dawdled.

He followed the steps and went to the Servant Cultivator Hall to handle various affairs.

Then he paid the fine, handing over everything of value on his person.

Finally, he pretended to accept his fate and went to take on missions.

Only, after one mission, Lu Qingyang intentionally or unintentionally displayed his talent in formations.

And because of that, he obtained a chance to go to the Formation Hall to repair and maintain the Heaven-Reaching Formation.

Is this the Heaven-Reaching Formation?

Looking at the enormous pillar of light before him, seemingly connecting heaven and earth, Lu Qingyang's heart was filled with shock.

This Heaven-Reaching Formation was composed of one massive formation base after another.

Each formation base was carved with streaks of Immortal Runes.

And upon them, Lu Qingyang sensed a dense fluctuation of Immortal Spirit.

He had once had the fortune to come into contact with this fluctuation within Return to True.

That was why he recognized it at a glance!

This formation is actually an Immortal Formation!

Lu Qingyang drew a deep breath, his eyes full of excitement.

Never mind whether he could bring down the Li Family. Just this Immortal Formation alone had already rewarded him greatly.

As long as he could fully comprehend this Immortal Formation, once Return to True ended, this thing would undoubtedly be the most precious reward!

Because of this, Lu Qingyang seized every chance to get close to the Heaven-Reaching Formation with an almost obsessive attitude, forgetting food and sleep.

And so, while observing and comprehending this Immortal Formation, he also thought of a way to break it…

Three years later, within the Li Family city, at an unnamed residence.

"Senior Hua, give me time. A thousand years. At most a thousand years, and I can break the Heaven-Reaching Formation!"

"Is that true?"

Hearing these words, the Pseudo-Immortal surnamed Hua's eyes instantly lit up.

"Of course!"

Lu Qingyang did not hesitate in the slightest.

"At most a thousand years, and I can completely break this formation. However, this formation is called the Heaven-Reaching Formation, which means its formation bases are divided into two."

"One above, one below."

"After I break the formation of the lower realm, the Upper Realm will surely sense it, and it will be discovered within three days at most!"

"In other words, we must wipe out the entire Li Family within three days! Otherwise, if the Li Family reclaims and repairs the lower realm formation, it will be disastrous!"

Hearing this, the Pseudo-Immortal surnamed Hua fell silent again.

Only after a long while did he slowly speak.

"The Sect of All Under Heaven does not have only one Li Family. Even if we destroy the Ling Family and the Li Family, the other families will surely discover us."

"And those great clans also have their own Heaven-Reaching Formations."

"Run… we can't run."

"Who said anything about running?" Lu Qingyang shook his head slightly, then a playful look appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Hm? What do you mean!"

Hearing this, the Pseudo-Immortal surnamed Hua's expression changed.

"Give me time. I will comprehend this Heaven-Reaching Formation. When I refine the Dharma Artifacts, Senior Hua can then distribute them to the Pseudo-Immortal Seniors that each family trusts."

"A thousand years from now, I want to destroy all the Heaven-Reaching Formations of the Sect of All Under Heaven in one fell swoop!"

"The affairs of the lower realm should be decided by the lower realm itself!"

Lu Qingyang's words were filled with endless domination and confidence, making the Pseudo-Immortal surnamed Hua's eyelid twitch.

"Can it really be done?"

Though he had confidence in Lu Qingyang's ability to destroy the Li Family, he had little confidence in destroying all the Heaven-Reaching Formations of the Sect of All Under Heaven in one fell swoop.

Because he did not know just how far Lu Qingyang's attainments in formations truly reached.

"One try will tell."

Lu Qingyang spoke with confidence.

"If that is so, then this old man will wait and see!"

The Pseudo-Immortal surnamed Hua nodded, deciding to trust Lu Qingyang once.

After all, having been enslaved by the Li Family for so many years, he had long accumulated towering resentment.

Making them pay the price was only right.

At this point, Lu Qingyang went to comprehend the Heaven-Reaching Formation, while the Pseudo-Immortal surnamed Hua went to contact powerful cultivators from all sides.

For a time, an undercurrent swept through the entire Sect of All Under Heaven.

And Lu Qingyang devoted himself entirely to comprehending the Heaven-Reaching Formation.

Time hurried by.

In the blink of an eye, another two hundred years passed.

Within these two hundred years, nearly all the foreign-surnamed Pseudo-Immortals of the many families in the Inner Sect of the Sect of All Under Heaven had been linked together.

Many Great Vehicle and Supreme Great Vehicle family servants also joined in one after another.

Their goal was to overthrow the rule of the many great clans of the Sect of All Under Heaven.

For this, they called themselves the Heaven-Overturning Society!

And during this period, Lu Qingyang had been comprehending and breaking the Li Family's Heaven-Reaching Formation.

But alas, how could a true Immortal Formation be so easy to break?

Though Lu Qingyang's talent in formations was outstanding, he did not dare relax in the slightest.

And there were only eight hundred years left until the thousand-year agreement.

Lu Qingyang could only work even harder.

Until the day Lu Qingyang turned one thousand years old, a sudden clarity surged into his mind.

Immediately after, the aura throughout his body began to condense.

The surrounding spiritual power also gradually began to converge into his body.

Half a month later, Lu Qingyang had actually successfully broken through to the Great Vehicle Realm!

"Hoo… one thousand years to step into Great Vehicle. Too slow."

"But… it seems that as a Great Vehicle, my comprehension of this Immortal Formation has risen another layer."

A sharp light flashed in Lu Qingyang's eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Originally, according to plan, I would need at least eight hundred years to break the Heaven-Reaching Formation and refine the countering Dharma Artifacts."

"But now, with my breakthrough in cultivation, I estimate it will take less than five hundred years for me to completely break this formation."

"Moreover, Senior Hua has already rallied ninety percent of the foreign-surnamed Pseudo-Immortals in the Inner Sect. Now, as long as I can persuade that fellow known as the First Pseudo-Immortal…"

Lu Qingyang's gaze flickered, and a trace of hesitation flashed through the depths of his eyes.

According to existing information, that powerhouse known as the First Pseudo-Immortal was very likely from the Li Family.

In other words, the family that hunted him down in the Simulation was this Li Family!

And now, in Return to True, Lu Qingyang could be considered to be taking revenge for himself.

Only…

In the Simulation, I ultimately died at the hands of the Strongest Pseudo-Immortal. Return to True should not see such a situation arise again, right?

Lu Qingyang's brows furrowed slightly as he pondered in his heart.

Forget it. Take it one step at a time. The urgent matter at hand is still to comprehend and break the Heaven-Reaching Formation as quickly as possible!

These years I have been too obsessed with the Heaven-Reaching Formation. The Li Family's own cultivators seem to have noticed something.

I should be more careful in the future.

Once Lu Qingyang finished thinking, he no longer hesitated, once again immersing himself in breaking that Immortal Formation.

And time flowed on once more.

In the blink of an eye, one hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years, until five hundred years later…
