Chapter 174
“I never expected a talent like Li Dao would emerge in our Northern Realm. It’s truly a blessing for our land,” Bihai finally suppressed his astonishment and spoke to Li Su. Compared to him, Li Su was indeed a genius among geniuses. Beside him, another Nascent Divinity elder gazed at Li Su with continued amazement in his eyes. At the same time, there was also confusion in his perspective.
He couldn’t understand why someone as exceptionally talented as Li Su would choose to stay in the Northern Realm. Although the Northern Realm was prosperous, it was far inferior to other places due to the impact of the colossal battle that occurred tens of thousands of years ago. The devastation from that battle had been too extensive for the Northern Realm to recover from fully.
Not only did that battle wipe out all the mortals in the Northern Realm, but it also claimed the lives of many of its strong cultivators. Countless ancient sects’ legacies were severed, and the spiritual veins of the Northern Realm were equally damaged. Even after tens of thousands of years, the recovery was far from reaching the peak it had once enjoyed.
Therefore, some of the Northern Realm’s talents, once they reached a certain level of cultivation, chose to leave. In the Northern Realm, they might not be able to break through certain realms, but by moving to other places, they might have a chance to do so. At this moment, neither Bihai nor the Nascent Divinity elder knew Li Su’s practice of taking on multiple disciples as his concubines. Such matters were not easy to bring up.
In the eyes of Bihai and the Nascent Divinity elder, Li Su was undoubtedly an extraordinary genius with exceptionally gifted spiritual roots, remarkable talent, and an astonishing level of comprehension. This prodigy only appeared once in a thousand years. Therefore, he had such a terrifying rate of growth. If they were to find out that in recent years, Li Su had been taking on disciples as concubines, they would likely be even more astonished.
“Senior Bihai, let’s work together to deal with this water,” Li Su said. Once the water was resolved, he could then retract the formation flag.
“Good, that works perfectly. My Blushing Dawn Sect needs a great lake, so let’s seal this water within the Xiaze Lake to the west. Yuanhua, help me carve the mountains and create the lake!” Bihai declared.
“Alright!” the other Nascent Divinity elder exclaimed.
Boom!
After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, cultivators could harness a small amount of the power of heaven and earth. In the Nascent Divinity stage, they could access more of the laws of heaven and earth, allowing them to wield greater power and enhance the potency of their attacks. The methods of a Nascent Divinity cultivator were similar to divine techniques, even in the eyes of Nascent Soul cultivators. Numerous Nascent Soul cultivators watched in awe as the transformation took place.
“Rumble~”
On the other side, a significant commotion also echoed through the area. Li Su caused it. Several mountain peaks simultaneously descended from the sky, sealing the gap between the two mountains, each towering thousands of feet high.
“Haha, Fellow Taoist Li, you single-handedly matched our combined efforts,” Bihai’s hearty laughter rang out. Li Su, with the assistance of formations, moved even faster than them. Many Nascent Soul cultivators also moved to seal off some of the smaller gaps. In this way, with the combined efforts of three Divine Transformation stage cultivators and over twenty Nascent Soul cultivators, the transformation of the terrain was completed in just seven days. This was different from excavating the Mangkang Mountain. The swampy terrain here was naturally low, and it only required filling in some gaps between the hills, with no significant danger involved.
Following that, under Li Su’s guidance, the waters from several Boundless Arrays were poured into this area, and within a few days, it transformed into a vast and misty lake. In the lake, from time to time, small islands could be seen, which were some mountain peaks. “Friend Li, thank you very much.” “Everyone, you have all worked hard!”
Above the great lake, Bihai expressed gratitude to Li Su and the numerous Nascent Soul cultivators from the Northern Realm. “Today, the Bixia Sect has prepared a grand feast to entertain all of you and show our gratitude for your assistance!” Bihai extended an invitation to Li Su and the many Nascent Soul cultivators.
A grand feast began, with the Bixia Sect showcasing their extensive collection to entertain the numerous Nascent Soul cultivators.
Li Su became the center of attention at this banquet, being invited by Bihai to sit at the head of the table.
“Friend Li, please, try this Monkey Wine. What do you think?” Bihai poured a glass of wine for Li Su.
When they heard “Monkey Wine,” several older Nascent Soul cultivators displayed eager expressions.
“Elder Bihai, is this the Monkey Wine from Monkey Island?” asked the Purple Extremes Sect Master.
“Yes, Monkey Wine is indeed quite rare. I managed to obtain a hundred Jin of it, and today, I’m sharing some of it with all of you,” Bihai explained.
The attendants had already started pouring the wine for the Nascent Soul cultivators.
“Elder Li, Monkey Island is located deep in the East Sea, and a unique species of monkeys inhabit it. They brew this renowned wine. However, to obtain this wine, you must meet a requirement set by the Monkey King, which is often quite challenging. Even if we were to go, there’s no guarantee we could fulfill it,” explained Bihai.
Seeing Li Su’s curiosity, the Purple Extremes Sect Master explained. Li Su took a sip of the wine. The wine was indeed exceptional.
After tasting it, he experienced a soothing sensation in every pore of his body. Furthermore, the wine has significant benefits for his spiritual awareness.
It was no wonder it had such a renowned reputation. What made it even more fascinating was that monkeys brewed it. The world truly was full of marvels.
