WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again! - Chapter 207

Chapter 207

When Li Su arrived, the place was buzzing with activity. Many disciples from the Flying Immortal Sect, including those in seclusion for many years, had already emerged. The sect’s grand formation was in full swing, allowing entry and exit only for tokens held by elders and higher-ranking members, while ordinary disciples had restricted access.

The Flying Immortal Sect’s territory had expanded significantly since the merger of the three sects, and their Taoist land had grown accordingly. Li Su had personally reinforced the grand formation, fortifying it to withstand assaults from Nascent Divinity-stage cultivators. Over the years, they had discovered spiritual stone mines in the Northern Realm, and the Flying Immortal Sect received a substantial share of the distribution. Thanks to Li Su’s influential status, other immortal sects in the Northern Realm set aside a generous portion for him during the allocation.

Theoretically, the protective sect formation was impenetrable as long as there was sufficient energy, rendering it impossible for Nascent Divinity-stage cultivators to breach it.

“Elder Li has arrived!”

“It’s Elder Li!”

As Li Su entered the Flying Immortal Sect, a group of disciples gathered around, eagerly eyeing him. Thanks to Li Su’s influence, the sect recruited numerous disciples, attracting cultivators from the Northern Realm.

Li Su wasted no time and headed for the back mountain.

“Elder Li!”

Outside the back mountain, Golden Core cultivators of the Flying Immortal Sect were stationed. Although no new Nascent Souls had emerged in the sect yet, Li Su had provided the former leaders of the Blazing Sun Sect and Seven Star Valley with high-quality Nascent Soul Pills. Currently, they were in seclusion with a chance to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Li Su nodded in acknowledgment and proceeded to enter the back mountain. Here, only Li Su, the Sect Leader, and her aunt were allowed.

Soon, he found himself in the great hall of the back mountain.

“Xiao Xue, establishing a foundation isn’t a simple task. Without immortal energy, the success rate of foundation establishment is minimal. The process is time-consuming and emits a unique energy fluctuation. If it’s detected by powerful demons, malevolent cultivators, or that woman, it could jeopardize you,” the voice of the Sect Leader’s aunt reached Li Su as soon as he entered.

Both the Sect Leader and her aunt sensed Li Su’s presence and turned towards him simultaneously.

“Mentor.”

Li Su addressed the Sect Leader, noting that her aura had reached the Nascent Divinity stage, although she had yet to face the Divine Tribulation.

“Li Su, you’ve arrived,” the Sect Leader’s eyes brightened upon seeing him.

“Mentor, congratulations on achieving the Nascent Divinity stage,” Li Su praised her.

The Sect Leader’s progress to the Nascent Divinity stage had been rapid, with less than thirty years in seclusion. Her Immortal Spirit Root was indeed formidable.

“Thank you,” the Sect Leader responded, showing a degree of satisfaction while maintaining her composure. This indicated that the mysterious family she belonged to was exceedingly powerful, potentially housing Nascent Divinity cultivators and even more potent individuals. Her calm demeanor following her Nascent Divinity breakthrough suggested this.

“Mentor, what exactly does it mean to establish a foundation?” Li Su inquired with curiosity.

The Sect Leader maintained silence before she spoke, “This is a feat only achievable by those blessed with Immortal Spirit Roots.”

She turned her gaze to Li Su and continued, “Li Su, you must understand that Foundation Establishment is merely the first step on your cultivation journey.”

Li Su nodded in agreement, recognizing that the Foundation Establishment marked the formal initiation into the cultivation world. The Qi Refining stage, in comparison, was more of a preparatory phase.

The Sect Leader elaborated, “If we divide the entire cultivation process into two parts, then reaching Nascent Divinity, to some extent, signifies the beginning of the path towards immortality.”

The concept of Nascent Divinity being the starting point for immortality intrigued Li Su. Although Nascent Divinity was undoubtedly potent, it was still a far cry from the legendary “immortals.”

She continued, “The Immortal Spirit Root is an exceedingly rare occurrence, a once-in-a-millennium blessing. Individuals with an Immortal Spirit Root are considered heaven’s favorites. During the Divine Tribulation of the Nascent Divinity stage, there’s a unique energy within the heavenly thunder.”

“If I can harness that energy and infuse it into my Nascent Soul, I can transform it into a golden-purple state, effectively establishing an immortal foundation. When confronting the Immortal Tribulation in the future, it will be much easier to transcend and become an immortal.”

The Sect Leader explained the process in one breath. So, establishing an immortal foundation meant creating a golden-purple Nascent Soul.

Li Su couldn’t help but think about his own Nascent Soul, which was also golden-purple and exceptionally potent, surpassing the Nascent Souls of his peers. Did that mean he had essentially established an immortal foundation?

The investment of over 5,000 points of Nascent Spirit energy had been worthwhile.

“Mentor, may I have a look at your Nascent Soul?” Li Su inquired. He was curious about how his Nascent Soul, built with over 5,000 points of Nascent Spirit energy, compared to the Sect Leader’s Nascent Soul, especially given her Immortal Spirit Root.

“Of course,” the Sect Leader agreed and conjured a nearly identical, semi-translucent Nascent Soul above her head.

Upon examination, Li Su noted that the Sect Leader’s current Nascent Soul wasn’t golden-purple but had a light golden hue. In terms of strength, it was notably weaker than when Li Su was at the Nascent Divinity stage, roughly equivalent to the strength of his Nascent Soul during the initial stage of Nascent Divinity.

This reaffirmed that his golden-purple Nascent Soul was exceptionally robust. The investment of over 5,000 points of Nascent Spirit energy represented centuries of cultivation and years of experience. Even a genius with an Immortal Spirit Root like the Sect Leader couldn’t match him, let alone others.

Li Su had provided the Sect Leader with numerous elixirs to aid her in gaining strength when she broke through to the Nascent Divinity stage. She had spent hundreds of years building a robust foundation before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, allowing her spiritual soul to grow remarkably strong. In essence, her Nascent Soul might be even stronger than the Nascent Souls of other Immortal Spirit Root cultivators.

“That’s enough, Mentor,” Li Su said, and the Sect Leader’s Nascent Soul returned to her body.

“Mentor, after successfully establishing an immortal foundation, will the Nascent Soul not only turn golden-purple but also become stronger?” Li Su inquired.

The Sect Leader nodded, “It should become approximately 80% more potent.”

An 80% increase was a significant enhancement.

Li Su said, “Although there is some risk involved, I’ve already made up my mind to establish an immortal foundation. First, let me set up the formation. When you embark on the immortal foundation establishment, the Divine Tribulation will become more formidable, providing you with a substantial amount of thunder essence.”

The Sect Leader agreed and noted that Li Su needed to collect thunder essence. Li Su had harnessed her Divine Tribulation while she broke through to the Nascent Soul stage to forge a Purple Heavenly Divine Thunder, which had dealt a fatal blow to the former Mystic Moon.

“Mentor, if we had immortal energy, would the success rate be higher?” Li Su inquired.

The Sect Leader pondered this for a moment and replied, “There is only a chance of obtaining immortal energy within the sacred grounds. However, not having immortal energy doesn’t necessarily guarantee failure.”

Li Su produced a small vial and offered it to the Sect Leader, saying, “Mentor, in that case, you can use this strand of immortal energy.” It was the strand of immortal energy that the Returning Origin Sect had acquired, intended for her breakthrough, but was now passed on to Li Su.

The Sect Leader was intrigued by the unique aura within the vial and asked, “Li Su, where did you get this?”

Li Su explained, “Mentor, remember the Sacred Decree? It’s related to immortal energy.”
