“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 wasn’t 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 didn’t venture a guess, the Saintess couldn’t ignore her astonishment at Li Su’s rapid growth despite his recent lack of practice. It didn’t add up. She pondered if he secretly cultivated at night, but he was still fathering many children each year, which was perplexing.NEew stories at novelhall.com

The Saintess believed Li Su’s spiritual roots were exceptional, possibly surpassing Heavenly Spiritual Roots. Yet, she couldn’t 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 couldn’t reconcile his behavior with such a notion.

Li Su’s 200th birthday celebration was much grander than it had been a hundred years ago when he had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage. At that time, although many guests came to celebrate, the number was limited, and there were few cultivators. This time, it had become a significant event in the cultivation world within the regions of the three major immortal sects. The entire Li family was bustling with activity. An exceptionally large number of “immortals” would be attending the celebration this time. Even common people would flock to participate.

Before reaching the age of 200, one can’t 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 family’s 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 wouldn’t add up. However, he didn’t consider it a regrettable matter.

The idea of reaching a specific stage before a certain age held little significance for him. Li Su wasn’t 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 wouldn’t reach the Foundation Establishment stage before his 200th birthday didn’t bother Li Su. Approaching this milestone, he was still remarkably young and possessed boundless power.

Li Su couldn’t 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 wouldn’t be his match. He had also acquired secret techniques from the Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon, significantly boosting his combat capabilities.
