“However, I’ve heard that the Northern Territories have produced a genius named Li Su. After observing this spectacle, I intend to go and see if Li Su is as remarkable as the rumors suggest,” the Tianluo Sect Leader continued, displaying no concern about Peak Master Dieyun’s presence.
His words, however, gave Peak Master Dieyun a sense of urgency. Because news about Li Su had not only spread throughout Central China but also reached the Eastern Region.
In the Eastern Region, there were even fewer believers in this story. After all, the news was quite unbelievable. However, the idea of the Tianluo Sect Leader was in line with Peak Master Dieyun’s approach. They were here already, so they could take a look.
From his attitude, it wasn’t hard to see that the Tianluo Sect Leader might not have held high hopes either. This also put Peak Master Dieyun’s mind somewhat at ease.
If Li Su’s news was false, there was no need to worry. If it was true, the Returning Origin Sect still had an advantage.
However, Second-Rank Immortal Sects often employed unconventional methods to recruit talents.
If this Li Su is truly that talented and fond of taking concubines, there’s no harm in marrying several of our sect’s core disciples to him, and I can even give birth to more beautiful daughters to marry him! she mused.
The Tianluo Sect Leader chuckled and said, “As expected, here comes another one.”
Peak Master Dieyun was no longer interested in responding to him.
“Peak Master Dieyun, Sect Leader of the Tianluo Sect, your arrival was quite swift,” another voice rang out.
Another Sect Leader from a Second-Rank Immortal Sect arrived. This one came from the Western Region, specifically the Xuantian Academy.
In a short period, three Nascent Soul cultivators had gathered here. Among them, Peak Master Dieyun remained the most powerful.
People had come from both the Eastern and Western Regions. So far, no one has arrived from the Southern Region. The Southern Region was the farthest from the Northern Territories, with the vast Central China region in between. If someone were to come from the Southern Region, it would take at least ten more days.
“It’s a pity we’re making this trip for nothing. I have no idea which Sacred Ground these two individuals are from and how they ended up traveling to the Northern Territories,” the Sect Leader of the Xuantian Academy said with a hint of regret, fanning himself with a folding fan.
The words of the Xuantian Academy’s Sect Leader made the Tianluo Sect Leader realize that news about Li Su might not have reached the Western Region yet. Showing remarkable understanding, neither the Tianluo Sect Leader nor Peak Master Dieyun brought up the matter of Li Su again.
“Three of them,” Li Su whispered.
He had detected the presence of the first two individuals ahead of time. The third individual behind might have spotted the first two, so they didn’t try to hide. Li Su naturally detected them as well.
At this moment, the three of them had gathered within his perception range. It appeared that they were acquaintances.
“Are they at the Nascent Soul Advanced Stage or higher?” Li Su asked.
“The probability of them being at the Nascent Soul Advanced Stage is higher.”
“Are all three of them Refined Void cultivators?”
Li Su speculated about their strength.
Cultivators in the seventh or eighth layer of the Nascent Soul stage could detect the fluctuations caused by a Sect Leader establishing their Immortal Foundation. However, they might not necessarily discern the exact nature of those fluctuations or their source.
These three individuals arrived swiftly and precisely. In Li Su’s estimation, the higher likelihood was that they were in the Nascent Soul Advanced Stage. Beyond the Nascent Soul stage was the Refined Void stage, signifying a significant gap in cultivation. It wasn’t a transformation like the shift from Golden Core to Nascent Soul or from Nascent Soul to the Nascent Soul Advanced Stage, which required a significant change in one’s spiritual essence.
Upon reaching the Refined Void stage, the fundamental nature of the Nascent Soul remained the same, although it would undergo significant augmentation and possess additional unique qualities.
“Refined Void.”
Despite the possibility of the three individuals being in the Refined Void stage, Li Su did not feel tense or oppressed. This time, he had sufficient confidence.
The location where the sect leader was situated was carefully chosen. As long as the other party dared to intrude into this area, Li Su was confident that he could inflict severe damage or even kill them. Even if the opponent attacked from a distance without entering the formation area, Li Su wasn’t afraid. Even those above the Nascent Soul stage would have their attack power significantly reduced when attacking from a great distance, especially in martial arts techniques.
However, if the opponent used a magical artifact, like Li Su’s Yuan Magnetic Pill, it could render the opponent powerless and unable to retaliate, even at a distance.
This Yuan Magnetic Pill was derived from a mid-stage Nascent Soul-level serpent demon that emitted a magnetic storm. For those at or below the Nascent Soul level, if they were relatively close, it could withstand and even suppress the effects. However, at a distance, the opponent’s magical artifact could be a formidable threat.
As they observed the three individuals on the other side, there was still no movement, and Li Su remained completely unresponsive. So, another three days passed, and the sect leader’s efforts had still not succeeded.
