Chapter 961: Chapter 958 Breakthrough Success Chapter 961: Chapter 958 Breakthrough Success Within the Array, as torrents of black Qi and blood light continuously poured into Li Jianxue's body, the breath emanating from her began to swell at an unimaginable rate, surging toward the bottleneck of the True Immortal Stage.

Moreover, considering Li Jianxue's bodily response showed little resistance, she easily accepted the Array's assistance.

Granny Sun's face revealed surprise, and her heart held the Refining Body Altar in even higher esteem.

Time slowly ticked by, and Li Jianxue's skin gradually turned a dark red, making her appear somewhat eerie, yet she herself showed no sign of rejection; in fact, her face even displayed a hint of excitement.

At that moment, her body suddenly shook violently. The tightly closed Mud Palace acupoints were burst open by her own mana, assisted by the force of the Array, voraciously absorbing the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi around her.

Boom!

Every acupoint in Li Jianxue's body suddenly opened up as if they were a hungry Wild Beast, greedily devouring the massive quantities of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi.

Having absorbed massive amounts of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi, her body rapidly expanded, resembling a giant meatball.

The Divine Soul in her mind also began to transform, quickly becoming transparent, and started to fuse with her body.

However, at this moment, a pained expression suddenly appeared on Li Jianxue's face, and her body shuddered uncontrollably. The skin over her chest showed patches of multi-colored poison spots that rapidly spread outwards.

The surging mana caused the accumulated lethal poisons from her cultivation of the poison arts to fall into chaos, backlashing against her body.

Li Jianxue desperately circulated her poison arts, trying to suppress the rampaging poisons, but her swollen body and the incoming onslaught of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi made it difficult to control her mana, completely incapable of containing the poisons inside her.

This was one of the most difficult hurdles for Daughter Village Cultivators when attempting to break through to the True Immortal Stage, especially since the loss of the Ten Thousand Poison Mixed Element Bead made it nearly impossible to resolve.

Over the years, more than ten Mahayana Cultivators from Daughter Village had perished for this reason.

Granny Sun, watching Li Jianxue's plight from the side, instantly felt her heart lift, her gaze firmly fixed on the Reincarnation Array.

If the Reincarnation Array could truly suppress the poison backlash, then collaborating with the Refining Body Altar could be a viable option.

Inside the Golden Pond, the Ten Thousand Poisons Pearl within Shen Luo's Treasure Ring quivered slightly as if affected by the poisons within Li Jianxue's body.

“Could this bead indeed belong to the Daughter Village?” he wondered.

Surrounding the Reincarnation Array, the eighteen Daughter Village disciples watching this scene immediately changed their magic spells. The black and red light within the Array transformed accordingly, and hundreds of black and red threads shot out, piercing into Li Jianxue's body at various points.

With a “hum” sound, layers upon layers of black and red halos emerged around Li Jianxue, resembling a bizarre blood bloom in full display; the poison spots on her were instantly dyed black and red, slowing their spread.

Granny Sun's face showed delight; the Reincarnation Array indeed was able to suppress the backlashing poisons. It seemed her choice had not been wrong.

Within the Array, the painful expression on Li Jianxue's face also diminished considerably, and she hurriedly circulated her skills to continue the fusion between her Divine Soul and body.

Next to the Golden Tower, the Tall Figure's eyes flashed with a strange light, and the hand behind his back moved imperceptibly. On his finger, there was a blood-red ring that emitted a flash of Blood Light before hiding away instantly.

Beside the Array, the eighteen Blood-red Gourds suddenly emitted a “bang” noise, bursting open all at once. They transformed into eighteen clumps of sticky Blood Light that merged into the Reincarnation Array.

The operation speed of the Reincarnation Array suddenly increased tenfold, with an almost tangible aura of shadowy spirits erupting from it, pushing Granny Sun's Divine Sense out.

“What's going on?” Granny Sun abruptly turned toward the Tall Figure, a flash of green light in her hand revealing a green vine staff.

The vine staff was covered with barbs all over, and the tips of the barbs flickered with a faint dark green light, clearly containing potent toxins. Moreover, at the top of the vine staff, there was a green snake relief that looked incredibly lifelike and eerily strange.

Elder Park's hand flashed with black light, and he too produced an ancient black mirror, aiming it at the people of the Refining Body Altar.

“The two elders must not misinterpret, the shells of those gourds are also crystals of Qi and blood. When the Qi, blood, and Yin Souls inside are about to be exhausted, the gourds will self-destruct, which has nothing to do with me,” the tall figure explained with a spread of his hands.

Elder Park raised her hand, and a fragment of a gourd from the ground beside the array flew over, landing in her hand.

She pinched her fingers, and the fragment immediately burst, turning into a cloud of blood light.

Granny Sun furrowed her brows at this scene, about to say something.

The spiritual energy vortex surrounding the Reincarnation Array suddenly expanded several times, spinning wildly like a tornado.

All eighteen Daughter Village disciples were swept away, some thrown outside, others sucked into the center of the vortex.

Seeing this, Granny Sun couldn't bother to question the tall figure; she waved her vine staff, and green vines shot out, wrapping around the disciples' bodies, pulling them to safety.

The massive Spiritual Energy Vortex suddenly dissipated quickly, revealing the figure of Li Jianxue.

Her eyes shone with brilliance, and her skin emitted a crystalline glow. Every movement carried immense authority, as if she had undergone a profound transformation.

“Jianxue, have you successfully made a breakthrough?” Granny Sun and Elder Park, seeing Li Jianxue in this state, were overjoyed, no longer caring to blame the people from the Refining Body Altar.

“Fortuitously, yes, I've succeeded. I thank everyone present for their assistance,” Li Jianxue nodded to the two elders, then gave a respectful bow to the people of the Refining Body Altar.

“Our families have an agreement, a mutually beneficial relationship, there's no need for thanks,” the tall figure approached, waved his hand, chuckled, and said.

At this moment, Granny Sun looked at the people of the Refining Body Altar with much warmer eyes and gave Elder Park a meaningful glance.

“Here are the three volumes of the poison scriptures, as for the other items, they are all kept in the village; we'll hand them over after we leave this place,” Elder Park's attitude had also lightened considerably, as she flicked a jade slip.

The jade slip turned into a white light and landed in front of the tall figure.

The tall figure caught the jade slip, pressed it to his forehead, and after briefly probing the content within, a smile appeared on his face.

“If that's the case, then we will return to Daughter Village,” he said, then turned and walked toward the Golden Tower.

Inside the pool, Shen Luo, seeing what was happening outside, was slightly surprised.

Could it be that the Refining Body Altar hadn't played any tricks? Could it really be that he was being overly suspicious?

He looked intently at Li Jianxue for a moment, and found nothing suspicious about her.

“It seems I was just being paranoid. It's good that these people are leaving, so I can take the opportunity to escape as well,” Shen Luo thought to himself.

Granny Sun watched the tall figure's retreating back, her gaze flickering slightly.

The Reincarnation Array was still intact on the ground behind them, and the people from the Refining Body Altar were just leaving like that, not taking the array away?

Considering that the people from Daughter Village had already mastered the techniques to operate the array and that the required Qi and blood substances and the power of the Yin Souls were not hard to gather, they could use the Reincarnation Array themselves to help some of the Great Mahayana practitioners in Daughter Village advance to the True Immortal stage, henceforth eliminating the need to seek help from the Refining Body Altar.
