“Dong~”
A long and resonant bell tolls. On Mangkang Mountain, Li Su’s concubine ceremony was beginning once more. This time, the person being taken as a concubine was the most powerful member of the Sea Tribe in the North Sea, a Nascent Divinity cultivator. The entire event was exceptionally grand. This wedding in the Northern Realm has also attracted the attention of numerous spectators.
In addition, the Li family had recently moved to Mangkang Mountain, and they were celebrating their housewarming simultaneously. Although the people of the Northern Realm were unaware of the battle on Mangkang Mountain, this wedding still managed to gather most of the Northern Realm’s cultivators.
The leaders of the Immortal Sects also attended. It was only natural for them to be present at a wedding where two Nascent Divinity cultivators were getting married. Even those who were in seclusion made the effort to attend. Of course, Li Su’s master, Shangguan Xue, did not come. She rarely participated in such ceremonies as Li Su’s master, and he understood and didn’t hold it against her.
On Mangkang Mountain, within a towering peak that reached into the clouds, the guests filled the seats. Those who attended were primarily cultivators. Certainly, in the vicinity of Luo City, the Li family’s old residence also hosted a grand banquet to entertain the nearby mortals. Many people from the Northern Realm’s Immortal Sects attended this event. In addition to the sect leaders, there were also quite a few Golden Core cultivators present for the ceremony, making Mangkang Mountain exceptionally lively.
“Senior Li is becoming more and more powerful. I heard that this time, the concubine he’s taking has a high status within the Sea Tribe,” remarked one guest. “Yes, indeed,” several sect leaders were discussing.
At that moment, in the distance, an exceptionally massive fleet of flying ships was approaching. The flying ships in this fleet were all of considerable size and had a distinct design compared to the Northern Realm’s flying ships. They were more exquisite and grand in appearance. If the flying ships commonly found in the Northern Realm were considered old vehicles worth a few thousand dollars, these flying ships could be likened to luxury cars.
“The arrival of this massive fleet of flying ships captured everyone’s attention. Several sect leaders stood up one after another. Soon, dozens of flying ships flew over. A Nascent Divinity expert flew out from the group of flying ships, loudly proclaiming, “The Second-Rank Immortal Sect from the Eastern Realm, the Tianluo Sect, has come to offer our congratulations to our friend Li!”
The words of this Nascent Divinity expert caused a commotion among all the cultivators on Mangkang Mountain. “Where is the Eastern Realm?”
“We are in the Northern Realm in the north, so the Eastern Realm must be in the east. This is a Second-Rank Immortal Sect!”
“Did Immortal Sects from the Eastern Realm all come this far to congratulate Senior Li?” Numerous cultivators engaged in discussions, expressing their surprise. Some of the less powerful cultivators were even unaware of the location of the Eastern Realm. But upon hearing that this enormous fleet of flying ships belonged to a Second-Rank Immortal Sect from the East, they all felt a sense of admiration.
The fact that Li Su’s concubine-taking ceremony could draw a Second-Rank Immortal Sect from the Eastern Realm, who traveled from countless miles away to congratulate him, was truly remarkable. This was no ordinary achievement. A Second-Rank Immortal Sect in the Northern Realm, the most powerful ones were only Third-Rank Immortal Sects.
The reputation of a Third-Rank Immortal Sect, such as the Bixia Sect, was already incredibly formidable. Some low-ranking cultivators, who had occasional interactions with disciples of the Bixia Sect, already held them in high regard. Now, there was an Immortal Sect even more powerful than the Bixia Sect arriving!
“Ha-ha, young Li Su, I hope you won’t mind that I came uninvited,” said the Tianluo Sect’s leader as he stepped forward with his disciples from the Tianluo Sect. Even though the leader of the Tianluo Sect had suppressed his aura, many of the Golden Core cultivators from the Northern Realm still sensed the difference. As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he had reached a new level in understanding the rules of the heavens and earth and the utilization of the elemental energies. Even without actively displaying his power, he blended with the surrounding heavens and earth.
This was one of the most significant distinctions that set Nascent Soul cultivators apart from Golden Core cultivators. Furthermore, another significant advantage of Nascent Soul cultivators was their ability to project their consciousness for extended periods.
The speed at which their consciousness could travel was much faster, covering vast distances in the blink of an eye. This greatly expanded the battlefields they could effectively control. Golden Core cultivators, in contrast, could generally control battlefields within a radius of only about one or two hundred miles.
Nascent Divinity cultivators could extend their influence from a few hundred miles to a thousand miles. In contrast, Nascent Soul cultivators could effectively control battlefields with a span of thousands of miles. Effective control in this context meant that on this battlefield, he possessed absolute authority, making it nearly impossible for others to breach his defenses, and his power could be fully exerted in this area.
The power of Nascent Soul cultivators was indeed quite impressive. However, projecting the soul was not without its vulnerabilities. One must protect the physical body, or if it were destroyed, the soul would have no place to return, resulting in certain death.
In addition, the soul could not stay projected for an indefinite period.
“This is probably beyond even a Nascent Divinity!” The Golden Core cultivators of the Northern Realm were now realizing this fact.
