Chapter 239
“Elder Dieyun, if I’m not mistaken, this Nine Veins Unification formation, it’s most likely artificial, isn’t it?” Li Su’s voice resonated outside the Returning Origin Sect.
Seeing Dieyun Peak Master come out to greet him, Li Su exchanged pleasantries before casually posing the question.
The Nine Veins Unification formation of the Returning Origin Sect was exceptionally intricate, with nine spiritual veins converging, exuding a profound sense of unity. However, Li Su could discern that it wasn’t a natural occurrence. In a natural formation, there would typically be only six or seven veins, which wouldn’t possess the clarity and grandeur it displayed.
This formation was likely crafted by an exceptionally skilled formation master, gradually altering the terrain over countless years through the power of the natural world. Many formations were designed utilizing the landscape to harness the forces of nature and maximize their potential.
However, the Returning Origin Sect’s Heaven and Earth Array took a different approach, gradually changing the landscape using the array. This method was remarkably clever yet not overly complex to explain.
Nevertheless, only a highly skilled formation master with the vision and resources to shape an area thousands of miles in diameter, even larger than the one Li Su had crossed, could accomplish such a feat. The critical factor was time – it required thousands of years of continuous maintenance ensuring stable spiritual energy flow within the area. Intense warfare within the formation’s boundaries was to be avoided. Most ordinary sects lacked the necessary longevity to undertake such an endeavor.
Li Su’s comment highlighted the Returning Origin Sect’s rich heritage. His words earned him an appreciative look from Dieyun.
“Yes, this is the work of a formation master from tens of thousands of years ago, and the Nine Veins Unification formation was established within the past few thousand years,” Dieyun Peak Master confirmed.
Li Su responded with a simple “Oh,” noting that the formation master who had crafted this remarkable array was likely no longer alive.
“Elder, this is a gift I’ve brought for you. Please accept it,” Li Su said, presenting a delicate storage pouch to Dieyun Peak Master.
“Thank you, Li Su. Let’s go inside,” Dieyun Peak Master replied, accepting and storing the pouch.
The identity of the person standing next to Dieyun Peak Master hadn’t been confirmed yet. However, as this news quickly spreads, the eyes of many guests in attendance have already turned towards Li Su.
“Sister Tiantian, they’re saying that the person Peak Master welcomes is Li Su from the Northern Region!”
The news about Li Su had also spread within the Returning Origin Sect’s disciples’ area. Many Returning Origin Sect disciples were now focused on Li Su, standing beside Dieyun Peak Master.
A Nascent Soul cultivator at the age of two hundred and fifty-one!
The prodigious talent with a first-grade spirit root felt the pressure. Having a first-grade spirit root was excellent, marking the individual as a prodigious talent anywhere they went. Even if he were to join a holy land, there would be no issue, and he might even obtain the status of a core disciple. However, the time taken to reach Nascent Divinity was more than twice that of Li Su.
After receiving this news, he heard about it but didn’t take it seriously. Even though Peak Master Dieyun had received congratulatory gifts from several second-tier immortal sects, he still thought that the description of Li Su as a genius with a second-tier spiritual root was likely exaggerated. However, when Peak Master Dieyun personally welcomed Li Su, he had no choice but to acknowledge the reality.
“If he is Li Su, that’s impressive. I’ve heard he has a Spirit-root, and Spirit-root cultivators have no obstacles before transcending tribulation. It’s incredibly extraordinary!”
“Yeah, he grew so rapidly in the Northern Region. Judging from Dieyun Peak Master’s intentions, she might be looking to invite him into the sect, which would likely accelerate his growth even further.”
“But this news might not be accurate. He might not be Li Su,” a few female cultivators beside Tiantian continued to discuss.
Spirit-root!
Tiantian looked at Li Su. As a first-grade spirit-root cultivator, she was one of the most dazzling talents in the Returning Origin Sect. However, even in the face of a Spirit-root cultivator, she felt overshadowed.
Spirit-root was technically a first-grade spirit root but allowed for faster cultivation than a regular first-grade spirit root. However, this increased speed had its limits. The most significant advantage of a Spirit-root lay in its ability to transcend tribulation without any bottlenecks, significantly increasing the chances of success when facing the Five Declines of Heaven and Man. This aspect alone was incredibly remarkable.
