Chapter 126
Within the Flying Immortal Sect, all the cultivators are brimming with joy. Each of them greatly admired Li Su. Even the descendants of Li Su who had reached the late Foundation Establishment stage and beyond on this journey felt a sense of pride, standing even taller.
“Elder Li’s actions have blessed the entire Immortal Peak of Hope. Please accept a bow from Chiyang.”
“Please accept a bow from Lengfeng.”
“Please accept a bow from Huang Jing.”
“...and so on.”
Under the leadership of the two sect leaders from the Blazing Sun Sect and the Seven Star Valley, many cultivators deeply bowed to Li Su. Unlike the sect leaders, they were natives of Immortal Peak of Hope, born and raised there. Immortal Peak of Hope was isolated from Mangkang Mountain, resulting in sparse spiritual energy. They had been concerned about this situation for a long time but had no means to change it.
Even when the two sect leaders reached the Golden Core stage, they chose to stay and develop their sect rather than leave. Yet, they still couldn’t see any hope. Although they had all reached the pinnacle of the Golden Core stage, advancing to the Nascent Soul stage was incredibly challenging. With Li Su opening the elemental magnetic barrier and allowing spiritual energy to flow in, it was indeed a blessing for the people of Immortal Peak of Hope. Li Su deserved this gesture of respect.
In Li Su’s view, their alchemical skills might not be comparable. With fifteen hundred years of alchemy cultivation, he believed he was more skilled than the best alchemists in the Alchemy Heart Sect. Another sect had three Nascent Soul cultivators, while the remaining three sent two. The Storm Thunder Sect, however, had only one representative. The Violet Polar Gate was initially supposed to have three Nascent Soul cultivators. Still, over three hundred years ago, one ended at the hands of an underground rogue cultivator, which was unfortunate. However, sometimes quantity wasn’t the key factor. For instance, while the Water Moon Sect had only two Nascent Soul cultivators, their strength surpassed that of the Alchemy Heart Sect.
This was because Liu Xinshui was at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, just a small step away from the seventh level. Quality often outshined quantity. After exchanging greetings, Li Su noticed that the Azure Mist Sect had sent a Nascent Soul pinnacle cultivator this time. The cultivator appeared somewhat aged and exuded an aura of decay. His lifespan is running out, Li Su observed. He couldn’t help but think that this cultivator had likely consumed numerous longevity elixirs.
Longevity elixirs had a characteristic where their effects diminished with continuous use of the same type. For instance, a life-extending elixir that added 10 years to one’s lifespan might only add 9 years with the second dose. Furthermore, these elixirs, effective for ordinary people and low-level cultivators, had minimal impact on Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
Nascent Soul cultivators required more potent and complex longevity elixirs. In other words, if this Nascent Soul peak-stage cultivator didn’t break through to the Divine Transformation stage soon, they would have only one or two hundred years before departing from this world. At that point, even taking over another body would not help.
Has Bi Luo’s father not arrived yet? Li Su noticed Bi Luo but didn’t see her father. Bi Luo saw Li Su, and although there was still joy in her eyes, everyone here had reached the Nascent Soul stage, so after exchanging greetings, she remained silent.
“Now that everyone is here, let the Sect Master of the Falling Cloud Sect activate the grand formation. Tomorrow morning, when the sky brightens, I will open the entrance with my power, and together, we will unlock what’s inside,” the Nascent Soul peak-stage cultivator said solemnly. “Good,” many Nascent Soul cultivators nodded in agreement. The Sect Master of the Falling Cloud Sect moved to the front. “Begin!”
Below, under the operation of many disciples from the Falling Cloud Sect, one formation after another was activated. The entire space ahead began to tremble. These formations were being used to unearth the hidden immortal sect ruins. Throughout the night, these formations continued to vibrate in the front space. The second morning arrived. The sun began to rise.
The time has come! The Nascent Soul peak-stage cultivator thought and took out a magical treasure. As the first rays of sunlight shone through, they abruptly absorbed that sunlight into the treasure and then unleashed it towards a particular direction in front.
