123: Chapter 123 Three Years of Development, Mid-Nascent Soul Stage

While Li Luochen was in closed-door cultivation, the Demon Race's headquarters had already learned of what happened in Leize.

Upon learning that they had lost a Soul Transformation powerhouse and multiple Nascent Soul powerhouses, they investigated the details and quickly replenished their forces.

Originally, the Human Race had the upper hand, but now that the Demon Race had sent two more Soul Transformation and many Nascent Soul demons, the Human Race was once again at a disadvantage.

None of this had anything to do with Li Luochen; at this moment, he was in the demon suppression tower breaking through to the Mid Nascent Soul Stage.

Moreover, the outside was merely the Demon Race replenishing their forces, not a true large-scale offensive; the actual great war was still far off.

On the enlightenment platform of Hidden Dragon Island, Li Changsheng sat cross-legged. The Cultivation Technique circulated rapidly within his body, surprisingly starting to slowly alter its circulation pathway.

As the circulation pathway of the Cultivation Technique continuously changed, the surrounding Spiritual Qi flooded into his body in an endless stream.

On the Sword Testing Platform, the Sword Qi overflowing from Li Yanshu's body kept the other clansmen from daring to approach.

Although her cultivation still had not broken through to the Golden Core Peak, with her overflowing Sword Qi, it was likely that no one at the Golden Core Peak could match her.

If her cultivation could reach the Golden Core Peak, one wondered if she could contend with a Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

In the fields, Li Yanxuan was honestly farming. As he cast the Minor Cloud Rain Spell, spiritual rain gathered and quickly fell into the spiritual fields.

Then, golden needles appeared in his hands one by one. As soon as they appeared, they shot rapidly into the spiritual fields.

In the spiritual fields, the spiritual pests that had just crawled onto the stalks were shot down by the golden needles, with not a single one escaping.

With a wave of his hand, the golden needles that had killed the spiritual pests flew back, all floating in front of him.

Li Yanxuan quickly patted the Storage Pouch at his waist and took out a large amount of metal-attribute Materials. He threw them directly into the golden needles. Wisps of flame emerged beneath the needles, continuously refining them along with the Materials.

Before long, the golden needles quickly took shape, transforming from a mere Spell into Rank One Magical Artifacts.

“Sigh, it's all because these Materials are of too low a grade. It seems that when I go to the immortal city this time, I must get more high-Rank Materials.”

Looking at the dozens of golden needles in front of him, he quickly took out a box, and the golden needles flew directly into it.

“Just wait, I will definitely upgrade your quality next time. For my Lifebound Treasure, I want to gather three hundred and sixty Rank Three golden needles, and then refine them into my Lifebound Treasure.”

“Having only the metal attribute feels a bit off. It would be great if I could replace the metal attribute with something else.”

Li Yanxuan stood there quietly, utterly baffled.

When night fell and the starlight shone, he looked up at the sky, where the stars were constantly shifting.

Gradually, he actually became completely absorbed in it.

In the time-dilated cultivation chamber, Zhou Xin was Cultivating hard, planning to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage as soon as possible so she could help Li Luochen.

As for the other members of the Li Family, they were also working hard to raise their cultivation.

Although the number of people in the Li Family was still small, with only about a hundred and fifty or sixty cultivators, there were indeed quite a few powerhouses.

This was mainly because the Li Family's rise had been too brief; if given enough time, the number of cultivators would surely increase significantly.

And now, the Li Family was completely self-sufficient. The Spirit Stones they earned from selling spiritual rice every year were enough for their cultivation.

By saving up for three to five years, it would be entirely enough for them to purchase foundation establishment pills.

Because Li Luochen was a Disciple of Five Elements Mountain and because the Li Family had Golden Core powerhouses, it was not difficult for the Li Family to purchase foundation establishment pills.

Although purchasing foundation establishment pills was easy, it was somewhat difficult for them to buy golden core formation pills.

This item was very precious even to a great School like Five Elements Mountain. Unless one had a background within the Sect or had made contributions to it, they could not obtain a golden core formation pill at all.

However, not many in the Li Family currently sought to break through to the Golden Core Stage. If their cultivation reached the Foundation Establishment Peak, they could entirely enter the Trial Tower, where the Medicinal Pills inside were sufficient for the time being.

Time passed slowly. Three years had already gone by since Li Luochen left, meaning nine years had passed in the triple-time-dilated cultivation chamber. By this time, Zhou Xin's cultivation had reached the Late Golden Core Stage.

Aside from the remaining two diyuan pills which she hadn't refined yet, she had refined all the other Medicinal Pills, making her cultivation speed very fast.

However, after her cultivation reached the Late Golden Core Stage, she felt her Foundation was somewhat unstable. Consequently, she shifted her focus to practicing Divine Abilities and Spells, as well as mastering her Lifebound Treasure Flying Sword.

In particular, the two Divine Abilities left behind by Li Luochen, the Five Elements Sword Escape and the Five Elements Sword Shield, could be practiced by any member of the Li Family as long as they reached the Golden Core Stage.

After all, these two Divine Abilities could also be split apart. For example, those with a wood-attribute Spiritual Root could specialize in practicing the Wood Sword Shield, which offered very fast combat power, defense, and travel speed.

If they encountered danger, their escape speed would also be much faster.

As arranged by Li Luochen, they were not allowed to go to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield unless they reached the Golden Core Stage.

With Li Luochen already doing so well in the Immortal-Demon Battlefield and having established such great merit, the other members of the Li Family did not need to enter the battlefield at all.

Moreover, no one knew the Li Family's true strength, as they had never revealed it.

Three years had passed, and Li Luochen had successfully broken through to the Mid Nascent Soul Stage with the help of two tianyuan pills. However, it would take at least another two years to stabilize his cultivation.

Currently, the Demon Race was sending even more reinforcements. After all, the Human Race's islands in the overseas cultivation world were too scattered, and the overseas Yao Race was not so easy to deal with.

Especially when the overseas Yao Race united, they directly tied down most of the Demon Race's forces.

Seeing that the Demon Race could not gain much of an advantage overseas, they turned their gaze back to Leize and other places.

Leize was not the only path leading to the Northern Land Cultivation World; other places led there as well. Besides reinforcing Leize, the Demon Race army also had many Demon Race powerhouses in several other directions.

However, to enter the Northern Land Cultivation World, one had to pass through the Baiman Mountains. Without going through the Baiman Mountains, there was simply no way to enter the Northern Land Cultivation World.

And most of the Baiman Mountains were occupied by the Yao Race. If the Demon Race wanted to enter the Northern Land Cultivation World, they had to fight their way through the Yao Race's territory.

In the past, the Human Race invited the Yao Beasts to fight the Demon Race together, but now it was basically reversed: those powerful Yao Beasts invited the Human Race to take action and deal with the Demon Race together.

Besides, it was also difficult for the overseas Yao Race to hold out. After all, the sea territory was too vast, and the Yao Race in the sea all had their own territories, which other Yao Race members would not cross.

But now was different. They had to have enough powerhouses to protect their territories and keep the Demon Race army out.

Many powerful Yao Beast clans had already been wiped out. Only after being thoroughly terrified did those Yao Beast powerhouses quickly join forces and invite Yao Beast powerhouses from other regions to resist the Demon Race army together.

It couldn't be helped; wherever the Demon Race went, almost nothing survived, and even the Spiritual Veins would be dug up by them. This was an attempt to sever the very roots of the Cultivation World.

Consequently, whether it was the Human Race, the Yao Beast race, or other minor races, as long as they were cultivation races of the Northern Sea and the Northern Land, they all joined hands to resist the Demon Race.
