Chapter 161
“Bi Luo’s father is already hurrying back at the maximum speed possible, but the journey is extremely distant. It will still take him two weeks even at his swiftest,” Bi Luo’s voice resounded.
“We plan to spare no effort and endure until the Northern Territory’s Nascent Soul experts arrive. Then, we will use the Azure Mist Treasure Mirror to block the Sea Clan’s Nascent Transformation experts and allow them to enter. Hopefully, we can hang on until they all arrive,” said the cultivator Jin, his brow furrowing as he stared at the continuously trembling grand array.
The gap between Nascent Soul and Nascent Transformation was immense. Although he was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, even with powerful magical artifacts, he had no way to contend with Nascent Transformation experts. He could briefly thwart the Sea Clan’s Nascent Transformation experts using the Azure Mist Treasure Mirror.
Many robust defensive artifacts took the form of mirrors because they were versatile and lightweight, making them easy to wield. There were also shield-shaped ones, but these required high-quality materials. Otherwise, they were prone to shattering.
Shields were advantageous as they consumed less energy than mirrors and were especially effective against concentrated attacks aimed at a specific point. While they could be operated, they weren’t as swift as the Treasure Mirror, and their defense wasn’t as comprehensive or versatile. Sometimes, being slightly slower could mean the difference between life and death. Cultivator Jin could only hope for the arrival of the Northern Territory’s Nascent Soul experts to rescue them. With a dozen Nascent Souls, they could still hold on as long as they could enter and maintain the grand formation.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
The grand formation continued to shake. Outside, the Sea Clan’s Nascent Divinity personally attacked the grand formation. Bi Luo’s father had been elusive, but he had stayed in the Northern Territory for most of his life. It was only a few years before Li Su entered the Northern Territory that he traveled far. Who could have anticipated that the Sea Clan would discover his whereabouts and launch such a daring attack?
“Fellow Taoist Li, Head of the Water Moon Sect, Friend Xin from the Heart Moon Sect…”
On the high mountain, several flying boats gathered, and two sects closer to the Bi Luo Sect had arrived early. Li Su saw that these were people from the Spirit Beast Sect and the Wind Thunder Sect, a total of three individuals. However, the Spirit Beast Sect had not brought spirit beasts this time.
During the sect’s ruins visit, Li Su had seen them with a fourth-rank spirit beast comparable to a Nascent Soul. This time, they had likely placed the spirit beast inside the sect for defense. After all, even though the Sea Clan’s attack was directed at the Bi Luo Sect, there was a risk they might suddenly attack other sects. At this point, all the sects had likely activated their grand formations and gone into complete hiding.
“Haha, you all are very prompt in your actions.” At this moment, more flying boats arrived, led by the head of the Falling Cloud Sect, who also brought a Nascent Soul cultivator. Following closely were Nascent Souls from the Danxin and Purple Gold Sect, who had arrived swiftly.
Only the people from the Flying Immortal Sect had not yet arrived, as the sect was located farther away. Of course, Li Su was also a member of the Flying Immortal Sect. He had already sent a message to the sect leader, asking him to focus on cultivation and entrusted matters here to him. However, he had not received a response from the sect leader.
“I didn’t expect that the Head of the Water Moon Sect has already reached the late stage,” the Nascent Souls also noticed the changes in Liu Xinshui’s cultivation and felt somewhat envious. The transition from the mid-stage to the late-stage of Nascent Soul cultivation brought about a significant increase in strength.
“Friend Li, will the Head of the Flying Immortal Sect still come?” One of the Nascent Souls from the Purple Gold Sect inquired. Just as Li Su was about to respond, he noticed a sleek-looking flying boat approaching rapidly from a distance. Li Su had never seen this flying boat before, and its speed was incredibly fast, even faster than the one Li Su had crafted. This was mainly because Li Su hadn’t spent much time working on flying boats. Upon closer inspection, Li Su realized the flying boat was carrying their sect leader and her aunt. They had also arrived. This meant that the sect leader’s aunt most likely brought the flying boat, as it wouldn’t have such incredible speed otherwise.
“Master” Li Su greeted her as she approached. The sect leader nodded slightly upon seeing Li Su. Li Su also exchanged greetings with her aunt, who was an elder and had a good relationship with the sect leader. “Flying Immortal Sect truly has outstanding talents. Fellow Taoist Li has grown so quickly, and I didn’t expect our Sect Leader Shangguan to reach the mid-stage so soon,” one of the Nascent Souls from the Purple Gold Sect commented.
One of the Nascent Souls noticed the change in the sect leader’s aura and remarked, “The sect leader is currently emitting the aura of a fourth-layer Nascent Soul. Just over fifty years ago, she was only at the first layer of Nascent Soul. Her growth rate is astonishing compared to other Nascent Souls.”
