Chapter 162
Li Su couldn’t help but think, “The sect leader must be concealing her true cultivation level.” The last time they had met when the sect leader was repairing her foundation, she had already reached the fourth layer of Nascent Soul. Nearly twenty years had passed since then, and she had certainly had the time to advance further, possibly to the fifth, sixth, or even seventh layer. And then there was the matter of the Immortal Spirit Root.
According to legends, those with an Immortal Spirit Root in ancient times could achieve Nascent Soul before the age of one hundred. A Nascent Soul at a hundred years old! That was terrifying because Immortal Spirit Roots were incredibly rare, with only one appearing every few millennia. The sect leader also had the advantage of the abundant elixirs that Li Su had crafted for her, greatly accelerating her cultivation speed.
At present, the Nascent Souls in the Northern Territory, according to Li Su’s perception, seemed to have relatively ordinary spirit roots. There were no third-grade spirit roots among them. After learning about the history of the Northern Territory from the Mermaid Princess Bai Ling, Li Su speculated that those with exceptional spirit roots might leave the Northern Territory once they reached a certain cultivation level.
After all, the Northern Territory had suffered a significant loss of spiritual energy due to the devastating battle, and it currently had only one third-grade sect. There were no second-grade sects, let alone sacred grounds. This could explain why the Nascent Souls in the Northern Territory had relatively ordinary spirit roots.
“Now that everyone is here, at the moment, Fellow Taoist Li has the strongest power. Fellow Taoist Li, you will lead this support mission,” one of the sect leaders said. “Yes, Fellow Taoist Li, how should we proceed?” “The Bi Luo Sect’s grand formation is completely sealed off. We currently have no means of communication with them, but once we attack, they will follow suit.” The sect leaders began discussing their strategy. Surprisingly, they were preparing to make Li Su the leader this time.
Over a decade ago, Li Su had demonstrated a cultivation level of the eighth layer of Nascent Soul, making him the strongest among those present. In addition to Li Su, the sect leader of the Purple Gold Sect was at the seventh layer of Nascent Soul, and there were several Nascent Souls at the mid-stage, while the rest were in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
Li Su looked in the direction of the Bi Luo Sect, and currently, there was still a distance of several thousand miles between their location and the Bi Luo Sect. The reason for maintaining such a distance was the powerful divine sense of the Sea Clan’s Nascent Divinity, and they wanted to avoid being detected.
The profound sense of the Sea Clan’s Nascent Divinity might not necessarily surpass that of human Nascent Divinities, but it was a factor we should consider.
Li Su stated, “We’ll enter directly. You all handle the Sea Clan Nascent Souls, and I’ll deal with the Sea Clan Nascent Divinity.”
Li Su’s words drew the attention of all the Nascent Souls present. Li Su remained composed and continued, “They have fewer Nascent Souls than we do. We can simply push them back.”
This declaration left the Nascent Souls exchanging glances, seemingly questioning if they heard correctly.
“Li, do you intend to confront the Sea Clan’s Nascent Divinity?” The leader of the Purple Gold Sect couldn’t help but inquire.
Li Su responded, “Indeed.”
“Li, while the Sea Clan’s power differs from ours, their Nascent Divinity’s combat strength is exceedingly formidable…”
Li Su said, “I understand their strength, but I believe we can handle it.”
The leader of the Purple Gold Sect was about to speak when her eyes widened in amazement. She stammered, “Li, when did your cultivation level… when did it rise again?”
At this moment, Li Su radiated an aura much stronger than over a decade ago, evident even to the Purple Gold Sect’s leader. His presence surpassed even the cultivator Jin.
The other Nascent Souls couldn’t help but reveal their astonishment as well.
“Don’t worry, I’m capable of holding my own. Once you drive away the other Sea Clan Nascent Souls and Elder Jin leads the rest out, they will have no choice but to retreat!” Li Su affirmed solemnly.
At this point, Li Su was on the cusp of achieving Nascent Divinity, only needing two more spirit root descendants. Obtaining these two descendants would bring his total to 500, enabling him to ascend to Nascent Divinity directly. His descendants had multiplied despite not taking any concubines in the past year and spending time with Bai Ling.
With two spirit root descendants, attaining Nascent Divinity might take just a few days. Even if it took a bit longer, it would still be a matter of months.
Although Li Su hadn’t reached Nascent Divinity, he was at the peak of Nascent Soul, making him more than capable of contending with a Nascent Divinity. Despite a substantial gap between Nascent Soul and Nascent Divinity, he had enough confidence to remain undefeated as long as the opposing Nascent Divinity was in the early stage.
The likelihood that the Sea Clan’s Nascent Divinity was in the early stage was quite high. If it were in the mid-stage, the Bi Luo Sect’s grand formation wouldn’t hold out for so long, even with over twenty Nascent Souls joining forces.
“In that case, let’s trust Li and give it our all!” The leader of the Falling Cloud Sect spoke first.
“Agreed!” Immediately, the other Nascent Souls concurred.
“Haha, a clash between Nascent Soul and Nascent Divinity! If Li wins, he’ll gain worldwide renown!” The leader of the Danxin Sect laughed heartily.
