“What is that?”
Mo Yu was puzzled. Were Nascent Souls in this world divided into ranks as well?
Yan Xi explained patiently, “Nascent Souls are divided into three grades: Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, and Human Dao.”
“If one passes fifty-four bolts of lightning, one condenses an Earthly Dao Nascent Soul. If all the lightning merges into one, one achieves a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.”
“The Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul is far stronger than an ordinary Nascent Soul.”
“At the same realm, a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul cultivator can often battle one hundred Earthly Dao Nascent Soul cultivators without falling behind.”
“And judging by the scale of your tribulation, it already touched the upper limit of the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. What you have condensed is the most top-tier Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul!”
The more she spoke, the more excited she became.
“Xiao Yu, even in the Immortal Realm, you would be considered an upper-tier genius. You have the aptitude of an Immortal Emperor!”
Mo Yu coughed lightly.
That kind of statement could not be spoken casually. The karmic implications were immense.
“But don’t be too arrogant,” Yan Xi added. “Although you have the aptitude of an Immortal Emperor, it is only a slim chance.”
“Back then, I also had a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul. Though not the most top-tier, it was still decent. Even so, I never even glimpsed the threshold of the Immortal Emperor.”
Although she said that, Mo Yu had always been in the Lower Realm.
Once he reached the Upper Realm, his potential would certainly exceed what it was now.
He might truly become an Immortal Emperor in the end.
At the thought, Yan Xi could not help but smile proudly.
Mo Yu thought inwardly, You’re clearly the one being more arrogant.
He steadied his mind.
It was not over yet. He could still continue breaking through.
He took out a large quantity of spiritual stones from his storage ring and continued circulating the Great Burning Heaven Art, absorbing them frantically.
…
The golden light gradually faded.
Su Meier, who was closest, saw Mo Yu’s figure and let out a sigh of relief. “That really scared me~”
Her beautiful eyes shifted as she examined him in surprise.
This little fellow was completely unharmed?
Even she, with a system of her own, might not have been able to withstand such a terrifying tribulation at the Golden Core Realm.
Yet Mo Yu had done it.
It seemed that going out and exploring truly had its benefits. One might stumble upon some heaven-defying opportunity.
Senior Sister Luo Suxin loved traveling outside.
And she was also the strongest.
Su Meier was about to step forward when she realized Mo Yu was still breaking through.
Angry. Very angry.
This foolish junior brother truly never gave anyone peace of mind.
She would definitely find an opportunity to teach him a proper lesson.
Sheng Xuzi and the elders prepared to enter the mountain to collect Mo Yu’s corpse.
However, after passing through the Jade Veil Peak formation, they discovered Mo Yu was completely safe.
He was sitting there intact, still cultivating.
“Th-This… he’s still fine?”
The elders looked at each other in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.
Sheng Xuzi was stunned at first, then burst into hearty laughter.
“The Holy Son of our sect has the aptitude of an immortal! He will surely ascend!”
Ye Lingluo stared fixedly at Mo Yu, shock surging within her heart.
Unbelievable.
He did not die?
The Heavenly Profound Holy Land could rule the Heavenly Mystic Continent for another thousand, ten thousand years.
Elder Qingxuan’s face was filled with smug satisfaction. “Since Xiao Yu is fine, everyone, 10,000 top-grade spiritual stones each. Don’t forget. Hand them over quickly.”
The elders handed their spiritual stones to Qingxuan and Sheng Xuzi.
Though they had lost the wager, there was little disappointment on their faces.
Mo Yu being alive was already excellent news.
…
Mo Yu slowly opened his eyes.
He had now broken through to the 3rd stage Nascent Soul Realm. His strength had increased dramatically.
The Great Burning Heaven Art had advanced to mid Heaven-tier.
He was confident that he could now defeat the Sword Son of the Sword Sect.
If his current self faced yesterday’s self, he could eliminate him with a flick of his hand.
At that moment, he noticed more than a dozen elders surrounding him.
The Peak Masters of Artifact Peak, Pill Peak, Sword Peak, Spirit Beast Peak, Five Elements Peak… all had gathered here.
“Senior Brothers, Martial Uncles, this is…”
Sheng Xuzi smiled slightly. “Nothing. We just came to take a look.”
He stepped forward and gently patted Mo Yu’s shoulder, his eyes full of admiration. “Good boy. Consecutive breakthroughs. Excellent! Excellent! You carry some of my former glory!”
“Thank you for the praise, Senior Brother,” Mo Yu replied.
After a moment’s thought, he continued, “Senior Brothers, I recently accepted a disciple…”
Elder Qingxuan’s eyes lit up. “That’s right. Xiao Yu has accepted a disciple. As elders, you must express your congratulations properly.”
Mo Yu cast Qingxuan a grateful glance.
This Martial Uncle was truly considerate.
Sheng Xuzi pondered for a moment. “In that case, I will give you 100,000 top-grade spiritual stones as a congratulatory gift.”
This was both to celebrate Mo Yu accepting a disciple and to congratulate him on breaking into the Nascent Soul Realm.
“Marrow Cleansing Pill, which can improve aptitude and enhance cultivation potential.”
“Ten Xuanling Colorful-Feathered Chickens. Fine ornamental spirit beasts. Yet they are always taken to be eaten.”
“Five Elements Spirit-Absorbing Bracelet, a high-grade spiritual weapon. It can accelerate cultivation speed. A good treasure for your disciple.”
“Thundersteel Hammer, a high-grade spiritual weapon. Suitable for forging or combat. A must-have for robust men.”
…
After sending off the elders, Mo Yu counted the gifts, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.
Although the system provided even better and more abundant rewards, that was essentially cheating.
The sense of accomplishment from obtaining these through his own means was entirely different.
Just as he was immersed in the joy of his harvest, he suddenly felt a chill at his ear.
Soft yet firm fingers grabbed his ear and twisted gently.
“You’ve grown bold, haven’t you? Daring to scare your sister?”
A bone-melting voice whispered by his ear, laced with feigned anger.
“Sister Meier, how would I dare scare you? Even if I tricked our master, I wouldn’t scare you.”
Mo Yu turned around quickly and was greeted by the sight of a mature, alluring beast-eared beauty.
Silver hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall. Her pink eyes, slightly upturned at the corners, were brimming with natural charm.
Her fluffy white fox ears trembled slightly, adding a touch of playfulness.
She wore a flowing white gauze dress that outlined her graceful curves flawlessly.
Her figure was even more ample than Meng Lanyin’s.
This was Su Meier in her human form.
She truly seemed quite angry. Usually, she was too lazy to even transform.
Su Meier leaned in close, her face almost touching Mo Yu’s, her breath fragrant. “You, always so reckless. If one day you truly lose your life, no one will even collect your corpse.”
Despite her words, she released his ear.
In a flash, she transformed back into a snow-white fox and leaped into his arms.
Mo Yu quickly caught her and gently stroked her soft fur, coaxing softly, “Alright, alright. I’ll be careful next time. Sister Meier, don’t be angry.”
Su Meier snorted lightly and did not respond.
She simply nestled her fluffy little head deeper into his embrace, searching for a more comfortable position.
In front of her, the system panel appeared, and the idling multiplier had reached 666 times.
…
Sheng Xuzi returned to Heavenly Profound Peak, dismissed Ye Lingluo, and used a communication talisman to contact Ye Ximei.
Ye Ximei’s figure slowly appeared.
She wore a light purple dress, her long black hair flowing freely over her shoulders.
She reclined lazily on a soft couch, her posture relaxed yet radiating unmatched elegance.
Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, as if all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had gathered upon it. Every feature was flawless.
Upon seeing her, Sheng Xuzi’s previously straight back immediately bent.
His knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground, his voice choked with emotion. “Old Ancestor!”
