NOVEL NEXT Chapter 219: Advancing to Nascent Soul
"Nangong Fellow Daoist, do you look down on our Tianli Palace? If so, then follow me to the Tianli Palace and apologize to Tianli Zhenjun!"
Yuankun's expression darkened as he burst out with a terrifying aura of Golden Core Great Perfection and directly brought out the superior magical treasure, Mysterious Water Ghost Rope.
The Mysterious Water Ghost Rope transformed into a pitch-black beam of light flying towards Nangong Shiyao.
Whale Mist Island was Zhao Yu's territory, where many cultivators knew that the island was protected by a Golden Core Great Perfection Cultivator, and thus dared not act rashly.
In these decades, Whale Mist Island had always been very peaceful, and Nangong Shiyao had not maintained any defenses; she had just activated her Protective Body Aura when she was entangled by the Mysterious Water Ghost Rope.
The Mysterious Water Ghost Rope emitted a pitch-black spiritual light, and the bone-chilling cold instantly invaded Nangong Shiyao's body, freezing her mana.
Nangong Shiyao, both shocked and furious, said, "Yuankun, what is the meaning of this? Could it be that you want to make enemies with Whale Mist Island? My husband will never let you off!"
Yuankun pulled Shiyao toward himself with one tug, sneering coldly, "If you have the guts, let Zhao Yu come to Tianli Palace to demand her return."
"Let go of my master!"
Su Minglan yelled fiercely, directly summoning a pitch-black magic sword and stabbing toward Yuankun.
"This girl is not bad looking either—my furnace has already been worn out. Protector Yuan, give this girl to me,"
Ghosthound sneered and reached out, his right hand transforming into a golden claw, grabbing the pitch-black magic sword and crushing it with force.
Ghosthound pointed, and multiple strands of dark ghoul threads shot out, instantly landing on Su Minglan's body.
As soon as the ghoul threads touched Su Minglan, they burrowed into her body, locked her mana, and left her powerless and collapsed on the ground.
Just then, the spiritual energy above Whale Mist Island began to churn tumultuously, as countless spiritual energies converged to form clusters of spiritual energy clouds. Those clouds of spiritual energy turned into vortices swirling towards a cave mansion in the center of the island.
Yuankun's face suddenly changed dramatically, "Zhao Yu is advancing to Nascent Soul; he's going to succeed."
Ghosthound's face also changed dramatically, a trace of fear crossing his eyes, "Protector Yuan, what should we do now? Zhao Yu is a Nascent Soul Cultivator now."
Nascent Soul Experts are terrifying beings that far surpass Golden Cores, and even a newly advanced Nascent Soul Cultivator's power is much stronger than that of a Golden Core Great Perfection Cultivator. Even powerhouses like Tianli Zhenjun do not wish to offend a Nascent Soul Cultivator lightly.
Yuankun gritted his teeth, "Let's go! Take both of them! As long as we can get back to Tianli Palace, the Palace Master will surely protect us! At worst, I'll offer her to the Palace Master!"
Yuankun and another swiftly used their Escape Technique, seizing Nangong Shiyao and Su Minglan, and flew outwards.
"Hurry, go inform the Island Master!"
A Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Miao-Xiang Tower who was hiding nearby immediately took out a Communication Talisman, ignited it, and a beam of light flew towards the governor's residence of Whale Mist Island.
Inside the governor's mansion of Whale Mist Island.
"What? Sister Nangong Shiyao was abducted by Yuankun from Tianli Palace? Damn it! To choose this time!"
Li Xianjiao's face changed slightly upon receiving the news, struggle flashed across her eyes as she looked up at the spiritual energy clouds in the sky.
This was the crucial moment of Zhao Yu's breakthrough to Nascent Soul, and Li Xianjiao did not want him to know about this now, as it would decrease his chances of forming the Nascent Soul.
Wu Zixin said anxiously, "Sister Xianjiao, we can't delay in this matter! If we delay, Sister Shiyao will be in danger! She could be destroyed by someone from Tianli Palace at any moment. Tianli Palace is a Nascent Soul-level force, only my Lord Husband can contend with them."
Li Xianjiao clenched her teeth, "I know we shouldn't delay in this matter! But, no! Uncle is at the most critical moment of forming his Nascent Soul, absolutely nothing must disturb him!! Even if Sister Shiyao ends up hating me, I accept it!"
Wu Zixin, after weighing her options, said, "Why not ask the Chi Emperors for help? They could surely handle that man!"
Li Xianjiao pondered for a while, then shook her head slightly, "No, all three of them are Uncle's protectors. Right now, nothing is more important than Uncle forming his Nascent Soul!"
Wu Zixin clenched her teeth and paced back and forth in the hall.
"It's a success! Uncle has successfully ascended to the Nascent Soul level!"
Li Xianjiao's eyes suddenly brightened as she sensed a terrifying pressure of Nascent Soul level spreading from afar. She immediately transformed into a beam of light and flew toward the Quiet Room where Zhao Yu was in seclusion.
Inside the Quiet Room.
Zhao Yu slowly opened his eyes, feeling the enormous mana surging in his body, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly in a smile, "I have finally advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. From now on, I can be considered a big shot who dominates a territory."
"Zhao Yu."
"Possessor of the Dao Fruit."
"Lifespan 240/3463."
"Cultivation Level: Thirty-first layer of the Mountain Sutra (0/100). Nascent Soul Stage One!"
"Divine Sense: Nascent Soul Fourth Order."
A Nascent Soul Cultivator, even during the ancient times in this realm, was considered among the top cultivators, only second to those of the Divinity Transformation. Ordinary Golden Core cultivators who advanced to Nascent Soul could only add a thousand years to their lifespan, but Zhao Yu had doubled that, adding two thousand years, such was the terror of the Mountain Sutra.
"Master, the main mother, Lady Xianjiao, has urgent matters to see you!"
Chi Emperor's voice came from outside the Quiet Room.
As Zhao Yu was advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, he had summoned Chi Emperor, White Ghost Emperor, and Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor, these three powerful beings, to guard him. Only these three were able to notify Zhao Yu inside the Quiet Room.
"Lady Xianjiao always has a sense of the big picture, it must be an urgent matter!"
A trace of seriousness flashed through Zhao Yu's eyes as he left the Quiet Room and saw Li Xianjiao standing guard outside.
Li Xianjiao said with a guilty face, "Uncle, Shiyao has been kidnapped by Real Yuankun and Real Yin Dog from Tianli Palace. She has been taken for half an hour. I was worried about your advancement to Nascent Soul and didn't dare to disturb you."
"You're not to blame, you did the right thing! Leave the rest to me!"
After comforting her, Zhao Yu's gaze fell on the White Ghost Emperor standing beside, and he said coldly, "White Ghost Emperor, find those two fellows. I want them to pay the price!"
"Yes, master!"
The White Ghost Emperor's mouth split open, strange Curse Seals appearing in his pupils. He took out a pitch-black Soul Talisman, glanced at it, and using the Ghost Pupil, he saw faint threads of soul.
All the important people around Zhao Yu had given him a trace of their soul energy, which he used to create the Soul Talisman.
With that Soul Talisman, the White Ghost Emperor could locate the position of the owner of the talisman.
"In this direction!"
The White Ghost Emperor's figure flickered, transforming into an Escape Light and flying toward the northwest.
Zhao Yu left Chi Emperor behind and followed with Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor behind the White Ghost Emperor.
Zhao Yu's Air Evasion Technique had advanced to the master level, and although his escape technique was still far inferior to that of White Ghost Emperor and Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor, it was far superior to that of ordinary Golden Core Great Perfection cultivators.
Three hours later, Zhao Yu appeared above the Spirit Gull Island.
Around the Spirit Gull Island, a third order superior Thousand Waves and Myriad Tribulations Water-Light Array was set up. At the moment, the array was open, and a layer of blue water-light barrier protected the Spirit Gull Island within.
The White Ghost Emperor grinned and said, "Master! Lady Nangong Shiyao is inside!"
Zhao Yu nodded slightly and directly performed the Mountain Great Handprint Divine Skill, a giant hand a hundred zhang long, seeming to be constructed from layers of mountains, struck down on the Thousand Waves and Myriad Tribulations Water-Light Array.
