554: The eve of the start!

Lu Hao looked at the people from Wuji Pavilion beside him and smiled slightly, "The most crucial thing about a Breakthrough is sufficient Spiritual Qi. With this Ten Thousand Spirits Imprisoning Heaven Array, there's no need to worry about Spiritual Qi."

"Pass down the order: those who come to Break Through only need to register their identity, then pay a certain amount of Spirit Stones or Medicinal Herbs. Afterward, they can enter the Formation to prepare for their Breakthrough. Additionally, all Cultivators who come to Break Through can receive a Medicinal Pill for free to help them assault their Bottleneck."

Lu Hao lacked nothing except Spirit Stones and Medicinal Herbs.

The Spirit Stones were naturally for his Disciples to Cultivate, to maintain the time acceleration of the Hunyuan Pagoda. As for the Medicinal Herbs, he planned to help Xiaotong collect them.

Compared to buying them himself, it was much more straightforward to have them hand them over directly!

As Lu Hao finished speaking, the Disciples roared in affirmation, their eyes filled with fervor.

At this moment, they finally understood that Senior Lu was not just making empty promises, but truly had the ability to help Cultivators Break Through!

Such a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering Divine Ability was simply unheard of!

The phenomenon of the Formation taking shape quickly spread throughout the nearby areas.

Those Cultivators who were originally observing began to waver in their hearts upon seeing this astonishing sight.

"What... what kind of Formation is that? Such a massive scale, it must be at least Immortal Rank, right?"

"Looking at the changes in the celestial phenomena, something major must have happened at Wuji Pavilion! Perhaps... the news they released earlier was true?"

"But I think, is Wuji Pavilion really that kind-hearted? To be able to help so many people Break Through, I'm afraid they have other motives!"

"Other motives... actually, it's not impossible to try...? I've been stuck at Yuan Xu Fifth Level for three hundred years. If I can truly Break Through, even if I have to pay some price, it would be worth it!"

Under this atmosphere, more and more Cultivators began to gather towards Wuji Pavilion.

At this time, within the Ten Thousand Spirits Imprisoning Heaven Array, Lu Hao was quietly waiting for the arrival of the first batch of Cultivators who wished to Break Through.

Lu Hao looked up at the Nine Heavens, a faint, inexplicable smile on his face, and whispered, "Heavenly Dao, you wait. I'm going to exploit you!"

...As his voice fell, a plan targeting the Heavenly Dao, one never before heard of in the Lower Realm, began!

Outside the Ten Thousand Spirits Imprisoning Heaven Array, crowds gathered, with over two thousand Cultivators arriving at Wuji Pavilion at the first opportunity.

The first batch of Cultivators who came to attempt a Breakthrough had already gathered before the Formation. This included the large group of Yang Solid Cultivators previously rescued by Lu Hao, the original Nascent Void Cultivators of Wuji Pavilion, and some Cultivators from areas relatively close to Wuji Pavilion.

Of course, the largest proportion of people were Cultivators from Luo Yu Province, Yangqi Prefecture, and Red Cloud State.

In these three states, almost everyone who received the news had rushed over.

After all, Lu Hao's reputation was very prominent in these three states.

Among them were elderly individuals who had been stuck at Void Realm for many years, as well as young Cultivators, hundreds or even thousands of years old, with good talent but stuck at the lower levels of Nascent Void.

In the crowd, most people were filled with anticipation. They were Cultivators who had witnessed Lu Hao's immense Divine Ability, so they naturally believed in such matters implicitly.

There were also some Cultivators who stood in the crowd with deep suspicion.

Although they had heard of Lu Hao's deeds, people often found it hard to believe things they hadn't witnessed themselves, and thus remained skeptical.

"Fellow Daoists, please be quiet."

Elder Zhu Zhixun walked in front of everyone and said loudly, "Before entering the Formation arranged by my Wuji Pavilion, I must first explain the rules to everyone!"

"First! Those who enter the Formation to Break Through must abide by Wuji Pavilion's arrangements and must not act on their own accord, nor can they damage the Formation."

"Second! All Cultivators who come to Break Through must hand over a certain amount of resources. For these resources, my Wuji Pavilion only requires Spirit Stones or Medicinal Herbs! Other items such as Magic Treasures and Cultivation Techniques will not be accepted!"

"Third! After handing over a certain amount of resources, you may receive an ancient Medicinal Pill upon entering the Formation. This Medicinal Pill has been carefully prepared by our Wuji Pavilion's Old Ancestor and can help you Break Through more effectively!"

"Does anyone have any objections?"

Everyone shook their heads.

As the first batch to arrive, everyone, no matter what, still believed in the credibility of Wuji Pavilion, so they had no doubts about what the Elder said.

Under this premise, only needing to pay a not-so-large amount of Spirit Stones and Medicinal Herbs to freely use a Formation rich in Spiritual Qi, and even receive an ancient Medicinal Pill to aid in Breakthrough—this was an immense benefit. Who would have any objections?

Especially those Cultivators stuck at Void Realm, some of whom had been stuck for nearly ten thousand years, searching countless methods, yet finding it difficult to successfully Break Through!

They also knew that their talent might have already reached its limit at Void Realm.

At this moment, they would firmly grasp any glimmer of hope!

"Good!"

Zhu Zhixun nodded, "Please receive your identity tokens in order and follow me into the Formation. Cultivators from Nascent Void First to Seventh Level will be in the eastern area, and Cultivators from Nascent Void Eighth to Ninth Level and Yang Solid will be in the western area. Do not trespass!"

Everyone filed in, and the moment they stepped into the Formation's range, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

The Spiritual Qi within the Formation was so dense it almost liquefied. Taking a single breath made them feel completely refreshed, and their Cultivation became significantly more active, not to mention other things.

The Cultivators could clearly feel that the speed of their internal Spiritual Power circulation was dozens of times faster than outside, and even their thoughts became much clearer! Their previously obscure comprehension of Origin also began to flow smoothly.

Everyone felt that just by Cultivating here, their hope of Breakthrough increased by 10%! It was completely worth the price they paid earlier!

Cultivators continuously exclaimed in wonder:

"My heavens... the Spiritual Qi concentration here is ten times higher than in my Sect's Forbidden Ground!"

A Cultivator from a remote state said excitedly. He had been stuck at Yuan Xu Third Level for five hundred years, and in the major states before, he had never felt such pure Spiritual Qi!

"No wonder Senior Lu dared to say he could help people Break Through. With an environment like this, the possibility of Breakthrough increases by at least 10%!"

"Hahahahaha, it seems we bet correctly, we bet correctly!! This time, I, Ning Feiwen, must seize the opportunity and Break Through to Yuan Xu Fifth Level!!"

Everyone was overjoyed, and many were already impatiently sitting down, preparing to enter a meditative Cultivation state.

Just then, a young figure appeared in the sky above the Formation, looking down at everyone entering the Formation.

Lu Hao had appeared!

Upon seeing this, Zhu Zhixun quickly cupped his fists and bowed, "Greetings, Senior Lu!"

Among the crowd, the Yang Solid powerhouses from the three states, as well as some who knew Lu Hao or were aware of his Divine Ability, also cupped their fists and bowed to Lu Hao.
