BXBX NOVEL Chapter 220
On the day of the relocation’s completion, Li Su met with the sect leader of the Flying Immortal Sect. After establishing her immortal foundation, the sect leader quickly consolidated her position.
“Master, how have things been?” Li Su inquired.
“It’s been going well, no issues,” the sect leader replied.
“Very well, Master, may I look at your Nascent Soul?” Li Su asked. He was curious to see the Nascent Soul of the sect leader, who had successfully established her immortal foundation. While others might have declined this request, the sect leader permitted her Nascent Soul to project above her physical body.
Li Su examined the Nascent Soul of the sect leader. It retained its golden hue, with a noticeable touch of purple, and had become almost ninety percent stronger since her immortal foundation was established. It was approaching double its previous power. Despite this improvement, Li Su’s Nascent Soul still had a distinct advantage in appearance, with its combination of purple and gold being more spectacular.
“In that case, even if you establish your immortal foundation with a celestial, spiritual root, your Nascent Soul is still far behind my purple and gold Nascent Soul at the same level,” Li Su commented.
“Very well, Master,” Li Su continued, “Even without establishing an immortal foundation, your exceptional qualities would ensure your growth rate matches or even surpasses mine.”
The sect leader noted Li Su’s repeated interest in examining her Nascent Soul, leading her to wonder about his spiritual roots and unique characteristics.
“Master, how is that individual faring? Did you obtain any information from them?” Li Su inquired once more, referring to the Nascent Soul peak cultivator.
When Li Su brought up this topic, the sect leader remained silent for a moment before revealing, “Li Su, I am contemplating passing the leadership of the Flying Immortal Sect to you.”
This proposal immediately caught Li Su’s attention.
“Master, are you planning to depart from this place?” Li Su quickly deduced her intentions.
“Yes, Li Su, I came to the Peak of Hopeful Immortality because of a family matter,” the sect leader began to share her past. This was the first time she had opened up to Li Su about her past, even though he had gathered information from various clues.
Li Su listened in silence.
“Although you captured the person she sent, my presence here might not remain hidden for long. Given her current influence in the family, the next envoy she sends could be a Nascent Soul cultivator,” the sect leader said, looking at Li Su.
After listening for a while, Li Su naturally comprehended what the sect leader was implying. The sect leader’s family was influential and comparable to a significant sect. In terms of power and influence, they rivaled formidable first-tier immortal sects like the Returning Cloud Sect.
The sect leader’s family had been fine until their family ancestor brought back a mysterious woman from an undisclosed location. After the sect leader was born with her celestial, spiritual root, she became the target of that woman, who nearly forced her into marriage with her unworthy son. It was only later that the sect leader’s aunt discovered this and saved her, resulting in the woman and her son being imprisoned for a hundred years.
Though the resolution was not entirely fair to the sect leader, there was at least a conclusion. However, after the woman’s release, she had a child with an Innate Dao Body and surprisingly good spiritual roots. Her influence within the family skyrocketed, and she established a network of powerful individuals. Despite the physical distance, the Nascent Soul peak cultivator was captured by Li Su, representing a looming threat.
At the time of the capture, Li Su didn’t give this Nascent Soul peak cultivator any chance to send a message. However, before this individual arrived, it was hard to ensure they hadn’t informed that woman through some means.
Furthermore, the sect leader’s family location was more prosperous than this region, with denser spiritual energy, and they even had a sacred place, so they were likely more powerful individuals. This time, that woman sent a Nascent Soul peak cultivator, but next time, she might dispatch a Refinement Void expert, which was highly possible.
There were very few Refinement Void experts, and there were none in the current Northern Territory. In the region where the Northern Territory was situated, including the Eastern, Southern, Western, and Central Territories, along with Refinement Void experts in the surrounding seas, the total number should still be in the double digits.
The Northern Territory was a unique case. Tens of thousands of years ago, it had more than one Refinement Void expert as well. However, in the area where the sect leader’s family was located, there were likely to be more Refinement Void experts.
As long as the other party was willing to pay the price, recruiting a Refinement Void expert shouldn’t be a significant issue. The sect leader was likely concerned about bringing trouble to Li Su. Therefore, she was thinking about leaving this place. She didn’t explicitly state this concern.
