Chapter 160
“Father.” Several little girls rushed over, all of them Li Su’s daughters. Li Su and Liu Xinyue’s first daughter was named Li Tong, nicknamed Tongtong. Like Mengmeng, she had a third-grade spiritual root and was already 16 years old, about to build her foundation.
Mengmeng, in her thirties this year, still looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl and loved to act cute in front of Li Su. Her strength had made tremendous progress, and she was already at the sixth level of the Foundation Building. At this rate, Mengmeng had no problem reaching the Golden Core stage before the age of a hundred, perhaps even faster, thanks to her abundant resources. She used Sunflower Water Pearls and the pills Li Su concocted from the spirit fruits he obtained in the mermaid tribe’s territory.
“Husband” Liu Xinshui and Liu Xinyue also arrived, dressed the same today. “Husband, guess who I am?” the one on the right blinked her eyes.
Li Su circled her and said, “Xinyue.”
“Hey, how did you know?”
“You should ask your daughter.”
“Little Ying, you always help your father.”
Liu Xinyue couldn’t help but shake her head at her seven-year-old daughter. These daughters of theirs always seemed to be on their father’s side.
“Xinshui, how’s this treasure? Is it good to use?” Li Su asked. He had crafted a lower-grade treasure for Liu Xinshui named the Water Cloud Mirror. This defensive magic tool could manipulate the power of heaven and earth to provide substantial defense.
“Thank you, husband,” Liu Xinshui was extremely grateful. She had come to realize just how formidable Li Su was. He could produce various treasures and craft powerful elixirs, including ones for enhancing cultivation and strengthening the soul. Even when Liu Xinshui attempted to break through to the Divine Transformation stage, Li Su had prepared elixirs to boost her success rate. Now, he had even crafted a lower-grade treasure for her.
Lower-grade treasures were rare even in the Northern Realm and could only be possessed by cultivators at the Divine Transformation stage. They were highly valuable, and using one would greatly enhance Liu Xinshui’s power. As for Liu Xinyue, using a magical weapon would be too wasteful for her, so Li Su hadn’t upgraded her weapon yet.
One night, deeply moved by Li Su’s kindness, Liu Xinshui was particularly affectionate towards him. She was even more affectionate than usual. However, something unexpected happened when Li Su spent a month at the Water Moon Sect and was about to return to the Li family’s residence.
On that day, a streak of light swiftly entered the Water Moon Sect from a distance. Judging by its velocity, it appeared to be a communication stone. Liu Xinshui promptly read the message within, and her expression changed.
“What’s the matter, Xinshui?” Li Su inquired.
“My husband, something dreadful has occurred. A cultivator at the Divine Transformation stage has suddenly emerged and is assaulting the Bixia Sect. The Bixia Sect’s Sect Master, Senior Bixia, is absent, and their protective barrier won’t endure much longer.”
“A Divine Transformation stage attack on the Bixia Sect?”
“Where did this Divine Transformation cultivator come from?”
“It appears to be from the Sea Clan. The Bixia Sect’s protective barrier can endure for a maximum of five days, and Senior Bixia won’t be able to return for at least half a month. Consequently, the Bixia Sect seeks aid from the entire Northern Realm.”
Li Su furrowed his brow in deep contemplation.
“Elder Jin can utilize a magical artifact to withstand the Sea Clan’s Divine Transformation cultivator barely. If we all enter the protective barrier and infuse it with our spiritual energy, we can extend the Bixia Sect’s protective barrier’s endurance.”
Liu Xinshui conveyed all the information from the communication stone.
A Sea Clan Divine Transformation cultivator!
Li Su pondered if it could be her, but he quickly dismissed the possibility. It couldn’t be Bai Ling. It had to be another Sea Clan member. Tens of thousands of years ago, the fragment of the sacred artifact that had prompted the Sea Clan to attack the Northern Realm was still within the Northern Realm. Therefore, once the Sea Clan had assessed the situation and realized that the father of Senior Bi Luo was absent they launched a sudden attack.
The Bixia Sect, as the sole third-grade Immortal Sect in the Northern Realm, possessed a formidable protective barrier that could withstand attacks for several days. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t endure indefinitely. Regardless of the barrier’s potential, the energy required to sustain it was not unlimited.
Facing an assault from a Divine Transformation cultivator and striving to endure for five days would likely deplete many of the Bixia Sect’s spirit stones. So, the Bixia Sect’s solution was to summon all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Northern Realm to their aid. Everyone would enter the protective barrier and contribute their spiritual energy to maintain it. With over twenty Nascent Soul cultivators, including several at the later stages and peak levels, they could naturally extend the barrier’s endurance.
“Has the Bixia Sect informed all the Immortal Sects in the Northern Realm?” Li Su inquired.
“Yes, Elder Jin has directed all the Nascent Soul cultivators to assemble outside the Bixia Sect on Lion Mountain. He promised substantial rewards for our assistance,” Liu Xinshui replied.
“Very well, let’s go,” Li Su stated. He was ready to assess the situation.
Boom!
At that moment, the Bixia Sect’s protective barrier continued to tremble. As a third-grade Immortal Sect, the Bixia Sect’s protective barrier was undoubtedly powerful, and it had been constructed by a formation master brought in by Senior Bi Luo’s father from outside.
This protective barrier was not easy for a Divine Transformation cultivator to breach. However, the Sea Clan’s assaults from the outside were unrelenting. Additionally, from within the protective barrier, the view of the outside world had transformed into an ocean. The entire area of the Bixia Sect had been submerged in water. This wasn’t due to the Sea Clan creating massive waves. Instead, they had set up formations in this area, generating significant water. This allowed them to launch even more devastating attacks within the water while harnessing the power of the elements.
Inside the Bixia Sect was a flurry of activity as tens of thousands of Qi Refining and Foundation Building disciples transported spirit stones and fervently infused them into various parts of the protective barrier. The Sea Clan had deployed a Divine Transformation cultivator and numerous Nascent Soul cultivators who continuously bombarded the entire protective barrier. These infiltrators had stealthily entered the Northern Realm and suddenly initiated their assault. To pinpoint their location so accurately, there might have already been individuals from within the Bixia Sect collaborating with them.
“Bi Luo, can’t you expedite the process? Their attacks are becoming increasingly ferocious, and at this rate, we won’t endure for five days,” a Nascent Soul peak-stage cultivator named Jin within the protective barrier expressed a sense of urgency.
