CHAPTER 482: CHAPTER 475: NASCENT SOUL SIXTH LAYER (FIRST UPDATE, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)

The Yulong King spoke, discussing the virtues of a king.

Battles of wit and bravery should not devolve into battles of anger.

It’s easy to understand, yet difficult to achieve.

Why do many people’s intelligence decline? Because anger affects their intellect, rendering them foolish.

The Yulong King said, "We cultivators must always remember our purpose, without being swayed by emotions into making choices. For example, if someone makes you itch with hatred, but that person is beneficial to your clan, to yourself, you should consider turning enemies into friends rather than opposing them without reason."

"For instance, holding onto petty grievances with some people constantly without distinguishing the severity is greatly wrong."

"For example, when there is no infringement on one’s interests, people are often amicable; only when one’s interests are infringed do they become bad. Such bad psychology is easy to fathom. As long as you don’t provoke these people or infringe upon their interests, they can be quite friendly."

"Yet some cultivators, upon disliking someone, want to kill, or seeing someone displeases them, want to fight, believing their strength allows them to attack or kill as they wish. Such cultivators are not bad, but mentally ill! This world permits bad people but does not allow mental illness. Have you understood what I have said?"

Long Yuege said, "Father, do you want me to let go of my hatred?"

"Wrong, it’s not about letting go of hatred, but rather not losing the greater for the pettiness!" the Yulong King said, "Many Divinity Transformations have agreed that Chu Country is difficult to attack; hence, we’ll strike Wu Country and Yue Country instead. Chu Country is merely postponed for now!"

"I understand!"

Long Yuege responded with reluctance in her eyes, but she had to endure.

The decisions of many predecessors cannot be questioned, only accepted.

...

Not long after, a secret order arrives from the sea.

The news spreads, shaking the Sea Race and leaving many cultivators dissatisfied.

Being slapped in the face, ultimately leaving in ignominy, how unwilling!

Many cultivators shouted for blood debts to be repaid, yet only uttered a few cries.

Then chose silence.

Simultaneously, many cultivators sighed with relief, their moods brightened.

Because there’s no need to fiercely battle Chu Country anymore; Chu Country is difficult to attack, challenging to conquer.

The Sea Race invaded the land for territory, resources, and benefits, not to sacrifice lives. After significant losses, it’s time to retreat and stop losses, rather than entangle endlessly here.

In the end, even if Chu Country is defeated, the damage sustained would be too costly.

Strong foes are not limited to Chu Country alone.

As they say, the nail that sticks out gets hammered because it’s too prominent and incurs heavy losses without withstanding subsequent waves of attacks, forcing an early exit.

To be the last one standing, the Sea Race must cherish its forces.

The Sea Race is gradually retreating; in less than ten years, most forces have withdrawn, turning to attack Yue Country, Wu Country, and others.

...

Hoo hoo hoo!

The Heaven Mending Cauldron echoes with a whizzing sound.

Accompanying the cauldron’s sound, the medicine inside violently crashes, causing the cauldron to tremble intensely.

After a moment, accompanied by loud noises, the cauldron opens.

When the great cauldron opens, nine elixirs fly out, emitting a rich fragrance.

The elixirs, the size of quail eggs, resemble infants, these are Nascent Soul Pills.

Swish swish!

At this moment, Lu Xuanji takes out the Fifth Grade Medicine Nourishing Gourd. Instantly, one elixir after another enters the gourd, beginning to be nurtured.

Under the nurturing of the gourd, the potency of the medicine slowly increases.

"Finally, the alchemy ends, ten years have passed, yet the Sea Race hasn’t attacked!"

Just then, Lu Xuanji let out a sigh of relief.

Ten years of alchemy have finally concluded.

After ending that fierce battle, Lu Xuanji began refining Nascent Soul Pills.

Due to the ongoing war, some auxiliary herbs were missing, forcing Lu Xuanji to temporarily change the elixir formulation and optimize the potency of the Nascent Soul Pills.

One Nascent Soul Pill after another gradually formed.

In just ten years, one hundred and thirty Nascent Soul Pills were born.

A portion of these elixirs is kept for himself, and some for Jin Xi, Ye Wanyi, and others.

During the alchemy process, Lu Xuanji remained vigilant, ready to end the alchemy to engage with the Sea Race bloodshed.

The war has reached a point where retreat is no longer possible.

The entire Chu Country is mobilized for all-out war.

Yet the opposing Sea Race was exceptionally quiet.

Quiet to an unusual degree.

While maintaining vigilance, Lu Xuanji also began consuming Nascent Soul Pills to enhance his cultivation, one after another, continuously refining the medicine potency.

Originally, consuming one Nascent Soul Pill required thirty years to properly absorb its potency. This allows for perfect absorption of the medicine and timely elimination of the Elixir Poison, minimizing harm to the body;

Yet to expedite his cultivation, in a mere three years, one Nascent Soul Pill was consumed, although the cost was a direct consumption of five layers of the medicine’s potency. But the cultivation speed accelerated.

In the tenth year, Lu Xuanji already reached the peak of Nascent Soul Fifth Layer, only needing a tiny opportunity to progress to the Nascent Soul Sixth Layer.

But the cost, was not only the immense consumption of Nascent Soul Pills, but also his cultivation became unstable, with Elixir Poison seeping into his marrow, bringing potential dangers.

Nonetheless, he could not worry about that now.

Tomorrow and accidents, one never knows which comes first.

Now, having more strength today increases the survival chance tomorrow.

As for potential... unfulfilled potential is simply useless.

"Forget it, since the Sea Race didn’t attack, I’ll continue improving my cultivation!"

With these thoughts, Lu Xuanji consumed another Nascent Soul Pill, beginning to refine its potency.

The potency starts absorbing into his body, cultivation slowly elevates.

By the twentieth year, Lu Xuanji had consumed eight Nascent Soul Pills, majority of the potency wasted due to rapid consumption; yet continuous consumption led to rapid cultivation escalation.

Ka-ba!

Just at this time, accompanied by a loud sound, his energy surged, and the bottleneck broke open, allowing Lu Xuanji to advance to Nascent Soul Sixth Layer.

The Nascent Soul metamorphoses, its appearance becoming clearer, resembling a six-year-old child’s appearance.

Magical Power is steadily rising, reaching twelve thousand Jiazi, the thickness of Magical Power comparable to the early stage of Divinity Transformation.

Of course, a cultivator’s battles are not solely based on Magical Power, but also involve the quality of Magical Power, Divine Intent, Magical Treasure, Divine Techniques, Secret Techniques, and combat mindset, all these elements shape the perfect combat system.

In terms of Magical Power quantity, he merely matches the early stage of Divinity Transformation.

Yet in terms of Magical Power quality, he falls short compared to Divinity Transformation; Magical Treasure is inferior; only in Divine Techniques and Secret Techniques does he hold a slight advantage.

If faced with Divinity Transformation Cultivators, he’s still no match, yet won’t be instantly defeated.

At least, he can withstand two or three moves before being defeated.
