Chapter 99

Many flying immortal swords soared and returned to the Sect Leader’s grasp. The Sect Leader gathered the flying immortal swords that had fallen during the Elemental Magnetic Storm using her divine consciousness. Now, she needed to infuse them with spiritual energy to regain control over these flying immortal swords.

In reality, handling this snake didn’t necessarily require a complex formation. When it triggered the Elemental Magnetic Storm, they could simply retreat in advance. Even if they lost some treasures, they could come back later to retrieve them. The Elemental Magnetic Storm it unleashed couldn’t last indefinitely. The second time they used it, it was noticeably weaker. They probably wouldn’t be able to use it many times in a short period.DiiScover new stories at novelhall.com

However, the Sect Leader and the Holy Maiden of the Hidden Moon were surprised because they were unaware of this snake’s ability. The Sect Leader’s secret technique hadn’t been employed yet. If they didn’t utilize the Grand Extensive Sword Formation, the battle would become riskier and more strenuous, with additional variables to consider.

Besides the Elemental Magnetic Storm, this creature was only slightly physically tougher and more agile. Given its exceptional defense, this was expected as creatures focusing on physical enhancement typically possessed fewer other abilities.

The Holy Maiden of the Hidden Moon’s restrictions had been reinstated. She didn’t need to pay any price to break these restrictions forcefully. Li Su collected all the bells she had dropped.

“These bells of yours, are they high-quality spiritual weapons?” Li Su inquired. “I see you have quite a few materials in your storage pouch. Are you planning to use them to enhance these bells?”

“Yes, but I can’t find a skilled artisan,” the Holy Maiden of the Hidden Moon admitted.

The beast tide finally waned after an unceasing battle lasting about half a day. As expected, after another half day had passed, no more beasts emerged, signaling the end of the beast tide.

This particular wave of the beast tide had endured for over a day, resulting in some losses for the disciples of the three major immortal sects. While there were injuries, deaths were relatively few. Only a handful of low-level cultivators who had inadvertently encountered powerful beasts had perished, and their numbers were limited.

Witnessing the conclusion of the beast tide, everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, this wave of the beast tide had been quite difficult. Two fourth-rank beasts had appeared simultaneously. Had the Sect Leader not broken through to the Nascent Soul stage a few decades earlier, or if Li Su hadn’t been present, the consequences would have been unimaginable. It was likely that the entire region of the three major immortal sects would have been overrun, with only a few cultivators managing to escape.

This area was surrounded by Mangkang Mountain, a difficult natural barrier, and the sea on the other side was equally treacherous. Even using a flying boat wasn’t entirely safe, as some avian demonic beasts roamed the seas. Pondering the situation, they realized that if they hadn’t succeeded in halting this beast tide, there would have been few safe havens for the cultivators and ordinary people in this region.

“No, even if the ordinary people had a place to escape, the cultivators wouldn’t have. Now that the Sect Leader’s strength has grown significantly, we can consider regularly exterminating the demonic beasts in the Mangkang Mountain and treat the area as a training ground,” Li Su suggested.

“First, I need to break through to the Nascent Soul stage,” the Sect Leader emphasized. Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage was her top priority.

“Li Su, we are greatly indebted to you for your assistance during this ordeal,” the Sect Leader expressed her gratitude after the beast tide had subsided.

“Master, it was my pleasure. By the way, Master, have you reached the second layer of the Nascent Soul stage?” Li Su inquired.

The Sect Leader should have felt a sense of accomplishment, yet she didn’t display it. “Yes, my foundation was slightly damaged before, but after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, I can slowly repair it, which will hasten my progress,” she explained.
