Chapter 89
Would you like to guess how long it will take me to reach the Yuan Ying(Nascent Soul) stage? Li Su inquired of the Saintess of the Silent Moon, who blinked in response. Li Su wasnt concerned about her discovering his slower cultivation progress since his unique system was a secret. Her thoughts were her own.
The Saintess of the Silent Moon wisely refrained from guessing. After years alongside Li Su, she learned how to navigate his unpredictable nature. Her silence was often preferable to risking his punishments.
While she didnt venture a guess, the Saintess couldnt ignore her astonishment at Li Sus rapid growth despite his recent lack of practice. It didnt add up. She pondered if he secretly cultivated at night, but he was still fathering many children each year, which was perplexing.
The Saintess believed Li Sus spiritual roots were exceptional, possibly surpassing Heavenly Spiritual Roots. Yet, she couldnt understand why he remained in the Flying Immortal Sect, considering his talents. She believed he should have joined more prestigious immortal sects, perhaps even sacred grounds, where his potential could flourish.
She toyed with the idea that Li Su might be a reincarnation of a great being or possessed by a powerful entity but couldnt reconcile his behavior with such a notion.
Unconcerned by her thoughts, Li Su handed her a book as a gesture of appreciation. The second half of Journey to the West piqued her interest. With more free time due to her halted cultivation, she developed an affinity for the stories in Li Sus study.
Before reaching the age of 200, one cant attain the Nascent Soul stage. As Li Su observed the lively scene, he contemplated his current situation inside the Li residence.
The Heavenly Mountain Villa had expanded many times over, and the Li familys cities had grown astonishingly, housing tens of thousands of people, including the Li clan members and many servants and maids. Li Su knew that reaching the Nascent Soul stage before the age of 200 was nearly impossible. It simply wouldnt add up. However, he didnt consider it a regrettable matter.
The idea of reaching a specific stage before a certain age held little significance for him. Li Su wasnt one of those so-called prodigies who blindly chased speed without considering the fundamentals. True genius cultivators, when they had confidence in their abilities, might not necessarily prioritize speed. Instead, they focus on building a robust foundation and solidifying each cultivation stage. After all, many powerful individuals seek to re-cultivate the Foundation Establishment stage.
Therefore, the fact that he wouldnt reach the Foundation Establishment stage before his 200th birthday didnt bother Li Su. Approaching this milestone, he was still remarkably young and possessed boundless power.
Li Su couldnt help but reflect on the past two centuries, which had witnessed a significant leap in his cultivation journey. From reaching Foundation Establishment at one hundred, he had made rapid progress and now stood at the pinnacle of the Golden Core stage. With his current strength, combined with high-grade and top-grade spiritual artifacts, it was no exaggeration to say that those in the eighth and ninth ranks of the Golden Core stage, provided they could break through to the Nascent Soul stage, would probably avoid confronting him at the early Nascent Soul stage.
Even cultivators who had reached the early Nascent Soul stage after achieving the sixth or seventh rank of the Golden Core stage wouldnt be his match. He had also acquired secret techniques from the Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon, significantly boosting his combat capabilities.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñòv€l-B1n.
