Nascent Divinity!
For thousands of years, there has been only one Divine Transformation cultivator in the Northern Realm. What about before those thousands of years? The Northern Realm was relatively lonely at that time. Despite the passage of tens of thousands of years since that great battle, the recovery of the Northern Realm had been uneven.
After the receding of the seawater, the initial restoration of the Northern Realm was exceedingly slow. Even though the vast waters had retreated, the entire Northern Realm remained a marsh. It was only later that the land gradually rejuvenated, but it turned into a realm dominated by savage beasts, rendering it uninhabitable for humans. The revival of spiritual veins and spiritual energy also consumed a considerable amount of time.
In reality, the prosperity of the Northern Realm primarily occurred over the next few thousand years, following a similar development pattern to the rise of Earth’s civilizations. There was a prolonged period of primitiveness followed by explosive growth over thousands of years, and the role of cultivators was incredibly significant.
Now, the Northern Realm had its second Divine Transformation cultivator, and the impact was even more astonishing because it was Li Su. Cultivators with common surnames had spent thousands of years in the Nascent Soul stage, so this news was truly remarkable.
“Senior Li is just in his early 200s, and he’s already a Divine Transformation cultivator. This is incredible!”
“It’s unbelievable. Even the disciples from the Sacred Grounds can’t compare to Senior Li!”
The news of Li Su’s attainment of the Divine Transformation stage left everyone in awe.
Li Su now comprehended the distinction.
In the region of the Northern Border, the most powerful sect was indeed the first-rank Immortal sect, without any sacred places.
“Fellow Taoist Li, I want something to discuss,” Bihai said.
Li Su turned his attention to him and said, “Elder, please go ahead.”
Bihai fixed his gaze on Li Su and said, “A talent like yours is somewhat underutilized in the Northern Border. If you are willing, I would be prepared to recommend you to join the Returning Origin Sect. With your exceptional talent, once you enter the Returning Origin Sect, I’m afraid the Sect Master would be willing to accept you as a personal disciple. If you aspire to become an elder, that’s entirely possible.”
The Returning Origin Sect, a first-rank Immortal sect! Although it might not be considered a sacred place, it was evident that the entrance requirements were exceptionally high. They only accepted those with spiritual roots at or above the fourth-grade level, and even those with fifth-grade spiritual roots could enter through affiliated sects only after rigorous assessments. Meeting such requirements was no easy task.
Li Su had taken numerous concubines, and descendants with high-grade spiritual roots had exceeded 500. However, out of those, just over a dozen possessed fourth-grade or higher spiritual roots. It was worth noting that Li Su had the system’s probability bonus, albeit very low, making his chances significantly better than those without it. Given that Li Su’s cultivation level remained on the Northern Border, the difficulty of giving birth to descendants with high-grade spiritual roots was quite substantial.
For the rest of the people in the Northern Border, the situation was even more challenging. With a population of billions, there weren’t many individuals with fourth-grade spiritual roots. As the Northern Border’s population returned to its levels from thousands of years ago and spiritual veins further recovered, there would be an increase in the number of individuals with such spiritual roots. To have more geniuses, a larger population base was indeed necessary.
