BXBX NOVEL Chapter 202
On this day, Mystic Moon emerged from her seclusion. After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, she spent several years consolidating her cultivation to ensure a solid foundation, taking one step at a time. “Husband, I’m planning to return to the Demonic Heaven Palace to strive for a higher position.” After spending over a month with Li Su, Mystic Moon prepared to leave. She intended to return to the Demonic Heaven Palace to continue extracting resources from the Demonic Heaven to make a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul peak. However, even if she could obtain power from the Demonic Heaven, she would still require a significant amount of time to assimilate that power.
“Go pursue your goals, Mystic Moon,” Li Su encouraged her. Her growth had been remarkably rapid, and few women could keep up with her pace. The sect leader, Shangguan Xue, was one, and Mystic Moon had the potential to be another with her high capabilities. So, Li Su was delighted to witness Mystic Moon’s growth.
Mystic Moon left with reluctance.
Before her departure, Li Su provided her with many elixirs to aid in absorbing the power of the Demonic Heaven. His gesture deeply touched her heart. Even though she was about to leave, she returned to spend several hours with Li Su before departure.
Mid-stage!
On this day, Li Su reached the mid-stage of Nascent Soul cultivation. He had reached the fourth layer of Nascent Soul. Advancing from the third to the fourth layer of Nascent Soul was challenging. The Purple-Gold Nascent Soul was undeniably potent, but the cultivation required for this advancement was substantial. Nevertheless, considering the gains, the time spent was relatively short. Compared to other Nascent Soul cultivators, Li Su’s progress was leaps and bounds ahead.
Enrolling a spiritual root in a sacred place with top-notch techniques, instructors, and resources might not necessarily surpass Li Su’s achievements. Therefore, Li Su wasn’t in a rush. His spiritual root was not far from the fourth rank, and once it reached that level, coupled with his current cultivation, his progress would be even more remarkable.
The entire family grew like a snowball, with the number of spiritual root descendants steadily increasing, and rewards kept pouring in. The sect leader, Shangguan Xue, was still in seclusion, and this time, she had been secluded for over two decades. Li Su had already reached the mid-stage of Nascent Soul. He estimated that the sect leader’s emergence from seclusion should be approaching, but it was hard to predict exactly when.
A two-hundred-year-old Nascent Soul with a spiritual root was impressive even within the sacred place. Of course, Li Su supplied the sect leader with many elixirs so that she could make a rapid breakthrough to Nascent Soul.
On this day, while the sect leader hadn’t emerged from seclusion yet, Li Su received another good news. After reaching another accumulation of a hundred spiritual descendants, Li Su’s spiritual root finally reached the fourth rank!
A fourth-rank spiritual root!
Li Su was overjoyed. Achieving a fourth-rank spiritual root was no small feat. After reaching the fourth rank for his spiritual root, Li Su distributed the cultivation rewards. It took him a full half-month to absorb and raise his realm by one more level. He advanced from the fourth layer of Nascent Soul to the fifth layer!
In just one year, Li Su had managed to advance two levels within the Nascent Soul stage. If others were to learn about this remarkable progress, they would likely be astounded.
Nascent Soul Fifth Layer!
Inside the Li Residence, feeling the surging and incredibly potent power within him, Li Su smiled. Reaching the fourth layer of his spiritual root had been truly advantageous. Otherwise, advancing from the fourth to the fifth layer of Nascent Soul would have been impossible, even with the accumulation of a hundred spiritual root descendants and the various smaller rewards he regularly received.
With a fifth layer of spiritual root, it was exceedingly challenging to reach the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul, even over a lifetime. Li Su sensed that the Azure Sea Mermaid he knew had only reached the third layer of Nascent Soul. In other words, they had used up half of their lifespan without reaching the mid-stage of Nascent Soul. But it was understandable. Achieving Nascent Soul with a fifth-layer spiritual root was extremely difficult.
Even if Azure Sea had attained Nascent Soul and gained a respectable position in the Central Plains, he was still just a disciple of the first-class immortal sect, Returning Origin Sect. However, despite his decent strength and status, he wasn’t given much attention within the Returning Origin Sect because his future could be predicted at a glance. Even if the Returning Origin Sect were willing to offer him good treatment, they wouldn’t invest all their resources in nurturing him.
Within a first-class immortal sect, there was no shortage of geniuses. Allocating resources to him, consuming 100 times the resources compared to nurturing a genius, might not even guarantee that Azure Sea reached a level beyond Nascent Soul in his lifetime. This raised a question—wouldn’t it be better for the Returning Origin Sect to directly invest those 100 times the resources in nurturing 100 geniuses?
So, Azure Sea found himself in a rather awkward situation. While he was respected in the Returning Origin Sect due to his strength, he understood the dilemma. But Azure Sea found it very challenging to obtain the resources he needed for Nascent Soul cultivation from the Returning Origin Sect. His lower spiritual root meant he required more resources than others.
It was this dilemma that led Azure Sea to consider exchanging resources with the Returning Origin Sect by recommending geniuses. It was a difficult situation, but with a fourth-layer spiritual root, things became considerably easier. Indeed, a fourth-layer spiritual root still couldn’t match Li Su’s Purple-Gold Nascent Soul, which required much more cultivation to advance than others. However, it was significantly better than having a fifth-layer spiritual root.
