BXBX NOVEL Chapter 76
Chapter 76
As the terrifying tribulation concluded, the dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate. The sect leader breathed a sigh of relief. “Where did you get this top-grade spiritual weapon?” she asked curiously. “I crafted it myself, but unfortunately, I didn’t have enough materials. Otherwise, I would have made one for you as well,” Li Su replied as he continued to refine the thunderbolts.
He had found that converting top-grade spiritual weapons into defensive tools was often more effective, especially when one already had a variety of offensive techniques at their disposal. In such cases, having a means of protecting oneself became paramount.
The sect leader returned the Green Cloud Mirror to Li Su and gazed at him with increasing curiosity. Li Su gradually became the center of her attention whenever he was in her presence. “It’s done!” Li Su exclaimed after several hours of collecting thunderbolts. With a wave of his hand, a purple lightning-colored sphere, about the size of a volleyball, floated up from the large cauldron.
“I believe this should be at the fourth level,” Li Su speculated. It was a fourth-level Purple Twilight Divine Thunder, far from an ordinary fourth-level one. Its power was likely to be quite astonishing.
It was important to note that not all the thunderbolts from the sect leader’s Thunder Tribulation were consumed during the process. Since the tribulation arrived in successive waves, Li Su had collected at least half of them.
Li Su had meticulously collected and combined the thunderbolts to create this single Purple Twilight Divine Thunder. It posed a significant threat even to mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. While it was just one thunderbolt, and recreating it without the aid of the sect leader’s Thunder Tribulation would be challenging, it was a potent tool in Li Su’s arsenal.
With these formidable techniques at his disposal, Li Su’s confidence grew. He was now ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, particularly the impending arrival of the Moonlit Maiden.
Meanwhile, a jet-black flying ship rapidly moved in one direction, followed closely by several other ships. Suddenly, a massive, winged, armored fish leaped from below, heading straight for the flying ship. On board the ships, several streaks of light were cast in response, but they were all shattered by the charging fish. “It’s a Peak Third-Rank Winged Fish,” someone on the ship exclaimed.
As the fish was about to reach the ship, a streak of light shot out from the ship, cutting the fish into two pieces before it could react. Soon after, the numerous flying ships descended onto the land below.
In the Flying Immortal Sect, Li Su considered, “The Great Extinction Sword Formation, combined with our Sect Master’s power and the formidable Purple Twilight Divine Thunder, should suffice.” Li Su was calculating within the sect.
The Great Extinction Sword Formation had grown significantly stronger than its previous state underground. Our Sect Master had ascended to the Nascent Soul stage and wielded a top-tier spiritual weapon. The Purple Twilight Divine Thunder was another potent asset, although Li Su had refined it using the Sect Master’s tribulation lightning. Its usage was limited, and he needed to wait until he reached the Nascent Soul stage to create another one. Gathering heavenly thunder took a long time, so Li Su preferred to reserve it for dire situations since it was a one-time consumable.
While the Sect Master continued consolidating on the back mountain and Su Yun diligently cultivated to reach the Golden Core stage, Li Su had some leisure time, which he used to have secret rendezvous with Xu Waner. Although Xu Waner had reached the Foundation Establishment stage peak, Li Su had no intention of bearing his child. Her primary goal was reaching the Golden Core stage, guaranteeing excellent spiritual roots for any future child. Despite Li Su not taking any measures himself, Xu Waner implemented some contraceptive measures with her spiritual powers.
Another month passed, and the Wu Kingdom remained tranquil. However, Li Su’s heart skipped a beat on a particular day when one of the warning formations he would set up was triggered. The disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect couldn’t leave, and this specific formation was beyond an ordinary cultivator’s capabilities to trigger.
“They’ve arrived,” Li Su whispered to himself. “The marker ends here, and judging by its direction, the Flying Immortal Sect should be just ahead.”
In proximity to the sect, a large group of demonic cultivators suddenly appeared within the dense forest. Li Su had successfully lured them near the Flying Immortal Sect using the mark left by a Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivator.
“They’ve captured Elder Bai, who’s at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Does the Flying Immortal Sect have a Nascent Soul cultivator?” one of the demonic cultivators inquired.
“It’s unlikely in this low-spiritual-energy area. Even if they did, with the presence of the Saintess, they would hesitate to come out,” another replied.
“Right. Let’s consult with the Saintess and proceed with a direct approach. We’ll force the Flying Immortal Sect to reveal itself.”
After a brief discussion, the demonic cultivators devised a plan. Soon, numerous flying boats ascended into the sky from within the dense forest. The cultivators unleashed their full power on these boats, saturating the area around the Flying Immortal Sect with a menacing demonic aura. The flying boats spread out in various directions.
Then, black beams of light shot into the sky from the flying boats. “Attack together!” a powerful demonic cultivator ordered.
On numerous flying boats, the cultivators initiated their assault, directing formidable attacks towards the Flying Immortal Sect’s location. Simultaneously, the black beams in the sky formed a blood-red light curtain that enshrouded the entire area. It was a formation set up with the flying boats as its foundation, making it flexible and hard to counter. While not suitable against extremely powerful cultivators, it could effectively block the majority.
The attacks relentlessly surged towards the Flying Immortal Sect’s concealed location, gradually leveling the surrounding mountains. Realizing that their attacks couldn’t reach the sect, a towering demonic cultivator, marked with blood-red patterns on his face, ascended into the sky. He wielded a disk-shaped magical tool, from which blood-red energy collected and targeted the formation composed of the flying boats.
“Reveal yourselves!” he roared and unleashed his power. A blood-red beam descended from the sky, dispelling the sect’s concealment and revealing its protective formation.
“Break this formation!” the demonic cultivator commanded, launching another attack. On the surrounding flying boats, ferocious assaults battered the Flying Immortal Sect’s protective barrier. The sect’s formation quivered under the relentless onslaught, constructed from the surrounding mountains’ terrain and not easily breached. Such formations could be overcome by depleting their energy or quickly delivering attacks exceeding their defensive limits. Another approach involved deciphering the formation to open a direct entrance, requiring advanced knowledge of formations.
