Chapter 229
Chapter 229
After a year, Li Su left the Xuantian Academy. He had made some substantial gains during that time.
Li Su continued to take more concubines after returning to his family, nearly depleting the supply of talented foundational stage female cultivators in the Water Moon Sect. Over the years, many cultivators from other regions also began to appear in the Northern Region. Most of them were at least in the later stages of the foundational realm, and some even reached the golden core stage. Additionally, some had left the Northern Region in the past and had now returned to assess the situation.
Indeed, many of these cultivators came to the Northern Region out of curiosity, driven by Li Su’s growing reputation. They wanted to see what the Northern Region was like and gain new experiences. Cultivators who had reached bottlenecks in their cultivation often sought change and different environments to overcome those obstacles. Sometimes, changing scenery and circumstances could help them break through their limitations.
“The recovery of spiritual energy in the Northern Realm is impressively fast. I visited here five hundred years ago while chasing a monster, and at that time, the spiritual energy wasn’t as dense as it is now.”
“Yeah, that’s probably why the Northern Realm has produced a talent like Li Su.”
“Do you all believe that Li Su is genuine? I can’t shake the feeling that his reputation might be exaggerated.”
“Exactly. We’re planning to tour the entire Canglan Realm and see it for ourselves. Then we’ll know, right?”
The conversation took place on a sleek, well-designed airship. All three women wore elegant dresses, and if ordinary people saw them, they would be in awe.
They were Nascent Soul stage cultivators from Central State. Central State was the most prosperous region among the Five Realms and Four Seas, with many cultivators and abundant cultivation resources. The number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators in Central State was also quite substantial, even more than all the other four realms combined. While the numbers were higher, it was still relative, and the Nascent Soul stage remained a prestigious rank due to the larger population.
Most of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators in Central State belonged to the Returning Origin Sect, which was a first-grade sect. However, there were Nascent Soul stage cultivators in some smaller sects and even among rogue cultivators. Those who didn’t like to be bound by sects or organizations were common. In places with limited cultivation resources, these individuals often struggled to advance in their cultivation.
These three women, known as the “Three Golden Flowers” of the rogue cultivator community in Central State, had reached the Nascent Soul stage but faced bottlenecks in their cultivation. They agreed to travel through the Canglan Realm together. Such travels often happened quietly and without causing much commotion. Just like when Li Su and Bai Ling traveled through the Northern Territory that year, they passed through many places, but the people in those places had no idea they had brushed shoulders with a powerful individual like Li Su. Now, these three women were discussing Li Su.
After spending several years traveling in the Western Region, their next stop was the Northern Region. Just as they heard rumors about Li Su in the Western Region, they became intrigued by him.
“There’s someone up ahead,” one of the women remarked.
While conversing, one of the women noticed a flying boat parked on top of a nearby mountain. A man, with his hands behind his back, was observing something.
At that moment, the man suddenly extended his hand and plucked the air like a musical instrument. The surrounding environment responded to his actions, producing a musical and enchanting sound.
What followed was even more astonishing. The mountain, in response to the man’s gesture, seemed to come to life, allowing spiritual energy to flow along it instead of being obstructed, thus enabling it to flow into the Northern Realm.
“Amazing!”
“Yes, he must be a master of formations,” the three women couldn’t help but be impressed by Li Su’s skills. With this gentle gesture, he altered the spiritual energy patterns for miles.
While this might not be noticeable to those below the Nascent Soul stage, individuals at that stage could naturally perceive the remarkable aspects of this gesture. The more accomplished they were, the more they could discern its incredible power. With a single motion, he set the mountains and rivers in motion!
The three women’s eyes lit up.
“There aren’t many Grandmasters of formations. Let’s go over and say hello,” one of the women suggested.
“Good idea,” the other two nodded in agreement. The fact that he was not only a formation Grandmaster but also had an elegant and ethereal presence made them curious to take a closer look.
Soon, their flying vessel approached the other one. As they drew nearer, the man finally turned around. The three women saw a man with a handsome and dignified appearance and naturally harmonious features. At a glance, he captivated the attention of these three accomplished women from the scattered cultivation world of the Central Realm.
After several seconds of gazing, the leading woman finally reacted.
“Your Excellency, my sisters and I saw your remarkable skills from a distance and wished to pay our respects. We hope you can pardon our intrusion,” the leading woman said. Her words made the other two women realize the situation as well, and they quickly averted their gaze, although their hearts inexplicably raced.
“No harm done,” the man replied with his charismatic voice.
“Is Your Excellency clearing the spiritual energy network?” the leading woman asked curiously.
“Exactly, the magnetic field in this area is chaotic, and the mountainous terrain obstructs the flow of spiritual energy. So, I need to straighten it out,” the man replied.
