“Roar!”
The White Tiger Savage Spirit was still attacking Li Su, and the Nascent Soul peak cultivator didn’t have the time to deal with it. He intended to use it as a distraction to hold Li Su back and increase his chances of escape.
“Break it for me.” The Nascent Soul peak cultivator was going all out, utilizing the bead in his hand and several other treasures simultaneously. He also activated a defensive talisman instantly. Defensive talismans could provide a burst of defense in a short period, often more powerful than the continuous defense provided by defensive magical treasures. This man had given up on defense and was determined to break through and escape. Although he didn’t know what this large formation was, he knew that once he got trapped, he would be in a very precarious situation.
The Nascent Soul peak cultivator proved incredibly swift, breaking free from the formation’s grasp within just a few breaths. The sounds of various treasures and spells were deafening as the Nascent Soul peak cultivator persevered with determination.
“Humph, just a mere formation,” the Nascent Soul peak cultivator sneered. Regardless of a formation’s power, it ultimately had significant flaws. Formations were static, while people were dynamic, and with enough alertness, one could avoid getting trapped by a formation.
However, he swiftly sensed something amiss, and his expression changed. The surroundings had transformed into an endless expanse.
Illusion formation!
His face changed as he realized his earlier haste had led him to fall for the illusion formation. Charging in the wrong direction had now trapped him when he initially had a chance to escape. Li Su’s figure reappeared. The Nascent Soul peak cultivator had no hope of escape now.
“This is a confinement formation. This time, the Nascent Soul peak cultivator is trapped and can’t escape. These talents from the sacred grounds are indeed formidable.”
A thousand miles away, watching the Nascent Soul peak cultivator vanish within the large formation, the head of the Xuantian Academy fanned his folding fan and remarked, “He’s probably that Li Su!”However, Peak Master Butterfly Cloud had a different perspective. While initially, she considered that Li Su might not be the same as the rumored one, upon further reflection, she recognized that the chances of having another sacred ground genius named Li Su here were quite low.
Moreover, in Peak Master Dieyun’s eyes, this Nascent Soul peak cultivator couldn’t be considered a genius by any means. Attacking a sacred ground genius at the first encounter – was this guy genuinely bold enough not to fear retaliation from the sacred grounds?
Furthermore, according to rumors in the Central Plains, Li Su was not only powerful but also adept in formations, alchemy, and artifact refining. The treasures he displayed in the recent battle were of high quality. All of this provided a basis for Peak Master Dieyun’s speculation.
Although she still found it somewhat astounding if this Li Su was the same as the rumored one, the potential value of this Li Su would be immeasurable if it were true. Moreover, there was also another genius with a divine spiritual root to consider.
“Is Dongfang Xue related to the Dongfang family? Within the Immortal Alliance, there have been rumors that the Dongfang family possessed an Immortal Spirit Root hundreds of years ago, but that Immortal Spirit Root disappeared for several centuries. It doesn’t quite fit the style of these top families…”
Peak Master Dieyun’s gaze turned to the head of the sect, filled with various speculations.
“Boom!”
“Ah! Ah!”
At this moment, within the confinement formation, the Nascent Soul peak cultivator was in a state of collapse. His strength was formidable, and he had numerous techniques. If they were outside, Li Su would have difficulty preventing him from escaping while protecting the sect leader. But here, there was no escape for this guy. The Nascent Soul peak cultivator, seeing that he had no hope of breaking the formation in the short term, used all of his abilities but was completely powerless against Li Su. This left him feeling extremely frustrated. He couldn’t accept it.
Why did these geniuses have such powerful spiritual roots and incredible combat abilities at the same level as him? It felt unfair!
“Pfft!”
But now, his complaints were of no use. After spitting out another mouthful of blood, Li Su’s Flying Immortal Sword broke through the Nascent Soul peak cultivator’s last defense, piercing through him. Then, Li Su struck with a palm, causing the cultivator’s Nascent Soul to become unsteady. The golden threads closed in. Li Su captured this Nascent Soul peak cultivator in this manner. After capturing him, Li Su waved his hand, dispersing the confinement formation and reappearing outside.
“A Nascent Soul peak cultivator has been captured!”
A thousand miles away, the gazes of the three Nascent Soul cultivators sharpened. Peak Master Dieyun’s gaze shifted towards the other directions where other powerful individuals had arrived, all of them being Nascent Soul powerhouses. The commotion caused by the Foundation Establishment stage could spread quite a distance, but it was still limited. It was not like when an Immortal Spirit Root was just born and could be detected by sacred artifacts of the sacred grounds.
At great distances, the sensitivity of detection was quite weak, and unless one had a certain level of strength, they couldn’t pinpoint the location. These individuals should all be from the region where the Northern Territory was situated. They were slower in their arrival, and upon seeing a Nascent Soul peak cultivator captured by Li Su, they hesitated to advance further.
Meanwhile, elsewhere…
On Mangkang Mountain, the sect leader dispelled the last bolt of lightning. All the power within her body retracted. Her Nascent Soul had now turned into one with golden and purple hues. Her Immortal Foundation Establishment stage was complete!
