BXBX NOVEL Chapter 257
This marked a significant change in the system’s approach to breaking through the Nascent Soul stage.
In the past, when Li Su advanced to the Golden Core stage, attempting it himself wouldn’t have resulted in a high-quality Golden Core. However, at the Nascent Soul stage, since he already possessed a Purple-Gold Nascent Soul, and there wouldn’t be a fundamental change like his Nascent Soul, he could attempt to break through on his own. Achieving the maximum accumulation of void energy during the Refinement Phase while lying down still left a gap. However, there was a solution. Li Su could address this by exploring the heavens and the earth to understand the rules better. Making progress in this way could also save some void energy. Indeed, Li Su had gathered nearly three hundred points of void energy. This accumulation came from his current understanding and gains in the power of the heavens and the earth, as well as the world’s rules.
Impressive,
Li Su thought, and his mood was quite good.The changes during the Refinement Phase also emphasized the importance of the solid foundation laid before. When the foundation was strong, the path ahead became broader and more accessible. Of course, the Refinement Phase could also be considered a foundation for the next realm. So, Li Su decided to continue striving for improvement during the Refinement Phase. He wouldn’t break through when he reached 1,000 points of Void Energy. Instead, he would accumulate until he reached the limit of Void Energy before advancing. Even if it took a bit longer, it wasn’t a problem. Therefore, in the time to come, Li Su would contemplate his bottleneck while silently continuing his development.
The entire Northern Realm had become livelier than before. Communication and interaction with other realms had increased. Some cultivators who had left the Northern Realm had also returned. The city of Su in the Mangkang Mountains had become the liveliest place in the Northern Realm, with many permanent immortal cultivators. The city of Su had also expanded in size. Luo City remained a favorite destination for cultivators from other realms who wished to visit the Northern Realm. Apart from being more bustling, the Northern Realm generally remained peaceful. Bihai had left, but the cultivator Jin was still present. The Sect Master was still in seclusion, and Mystic Moon had not returned yet. Liu Xinshui and Liu Xinyue were also fully devoted to their cultivation. It had been many years since Li Su last saw them, and he was waiting for them to come out of seclusion.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Li Su continued to take in a few concubines every year. Each time he took a concubine, it became a topic of lively discussion among the cultivators from other realms who came to the Northern Region. In the Central Region, some well-known female cultivators occasionally became the focal point of Li Su’s concubine choices, leaving many cultivators envious.
One day, Li Su arrived in the North Sea once again. “Father!” Upon his arrival in the North Sea, a young mermaid immediately rushed into Li Su’s embrace. This was Li Su’s precious daughter, Li Linger, born to him and Bai Ling. His daughter had grown but was still just as attached to Li Su. The main reason for Li Su’s visit this time was that Li Linger’s strength had already reached the fourth stage, which meant she had attained the Nascent Soul stage. And she was just a little over 120 years old this year. Achieving the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age was quite remarkable, even though it was about twenty years later than those with exceptional spiritual roots who achieved it at a hundred years of age. But those additional 20 or so years were well worth it. Li Linger had spent significant time further enhancing her physique, laying a solid foundation for her future growth. There were distinctions between the Mermaids and the dragon folk, and Li Linger’s path could be seen as a form of dual cultivation, similar to the combination of body and law cultivation. Her body was robust, and she possessed exceptionally powerful water-based offensive abilities.
In the ocean, her combat prowess was especially formidable. When venturing outside the sea, her power naturally faced some limitations – that was only to be expected. “Great job, Linger,” Li Su said as he affectionately tousled his daughter’s head, clearly pleased with her progress. His daughter was growing up, and Li Linger was the first of his descendants to reach the Nascent Soul stage. This accomplishment brought a sense of pride and fulfillment to Li Su. Her filial piety was impeccable, with a 100% rate of return for his care and support. Li Su spent much time in the Mermaid territory with his daughter and Bai Ling. Li Linger was sensible, and though she was still very attached to her father, she reluctantly allowed Li Su to leave when the time came. Li Su needed some time with his wife, Bai Ling, to share their mutual longing.
In the Mermaid community, there were several other daughters of Li Su. While their bloodline might not be as strong as Li Linger’s, the most powerful among them had already reached the third stage, the Golden Core stage. Despite having fewer descendants among the sea races, Li Su’s progeny were indeed growing at a remarkable rate.
Following his visit to the Mermaids, Li Su headed to the dragon folk territory. As expected, Mo Lin was still in seclusion, but Cai Lin was available. Li Su first spent some time with Cai Lin and then checked on the progress of his other daughters. Cai Lin had given birth to daughters for him, and one of them had already reached the mid-stage of the third stage, progressing rapidly. Li Zhen’er, the daughter that Mo Lin had given him, was just in her twenties, yet she was already close to reaching the Golden Core stage. The pure dragon lineage was exceptional, and her progress might even outpace Li Linger’s when she reached the fourth stage of Nascent Soul.
