Chapter 414: Chapter 231: Breakthrough Nascent Soul!

After Mo Qingyan left, Lu Li plunged headfirst into the sea and dove towards the deep sea.

He then operated his Divine tunneling technique, his body enwreathed in blue light, moving swiftly through the water towards the outer sea.

He tunneled through the seabed rock formations, and several days later, he finally arrived outside the Spirit Turtle Cave Mansion.

He entered by opening the Array.

Inside, he saw a white Hornless Dragon coiling in the center of the spirit field.

Its scales were as white as jade, emitting bursts of light.

The body, over thirty feet long, appeared quite slender.

Sensing its master’s presence, Iron Pillar opened its eyes with delight and quickly darted over.

The dragon head gently rubbed against Lu Li’s chest.

“Master, you have finally returned.”

Lu Li smiled faintly, “Nothing unexpected happened in these days, right?”

“I have already instructed my subordinates to be cautious and stay as far away from the Demon Clan sea area as possible.”

Iron Pillar transformed into a green-robed woman, her face full of smiles as she looked at Lu Li.

Lu Li nodded and walked swiftly to the edge of the spirit field, collecting all the Spiritual Objects from the ground.

He then headed outside the Array.

“I will enter into seclusion for a very long time, try to be careful.”

After saying this, he opened the Array and walked out of the underwater cave mansion.

……

Inside Sea, Southern Emperor Palace.

A blue tunneling light swiftly approached the central palace.

Under the worshipful gazes of many cultivators, he arrived in front of a large palace,

It was Lu Li, returning once again.

With his hands behind his back, Lu Li strode into the palace.

Clusters of beautiful maids knelt to the ground, not daring to look directly.

In a moment, Lu Li passed through the crowd and came to the center of the great hall.

There, Liu Luoxin was surrounded by many maids, all welcoming Lu Li’s return.

“Your wife welcomes the return of her husband.”

Liu Luoxin bowed deeply, her face full of joy.

A red phoenix robe outlined her perfect figure.

She was aware that her husband had gone to complete a task for the Nascent Soul Ancestor, and she had been quite worried.

Lu Li offered a light smile, quickly walked up to Liu Luoxin, and gently held her soft hand, helping her up.

Then, under the envious looks of many maids, Lu Li led Liu Luoxin towards the inner hall.

Liu Luoxin’s face flushed, but she did not refuse.

The couple’s relationship had always been good, as Lu Li always engaged in Dual Cultivation with her as soon as he returned, which had almost become a routine.

Soon, from atop the jade bed in the inner chamber, rustling sounds emerged, growing more intense with time.

Until late into the night, they gradually subsided.

……

The next day, early morning.

The rising sun scattered golden light around the Emperor Palace.

On the jade bed of the inner chamber,

Lu Li lay on an arm as white as jade, inhaling the fragrant scent beside him, which slightly perturbed his spirit.

Looking at the slightly closed eyes and the faint blush on Liu Luoxin’s face beside him, he smiled gently, “Wife, I need to enter into seclusion for cultivation, and this time it may take a long time.”

Liu Luoxin opened her eyes, stunned.

Then, as if realizing something, her face lit up with joy, “Husband, are you about to break through to Nascent Soul?”

Her tone was somewhat incredulous.

Since they had met, she had never seen her husband enter into long-term seclusion.

Now that he mentioned it, it must mean a significant advancement in cultivation.

This thrilled her greatly.

Lu Li nodded with a smile, “Last time when I ran errands for the Nascent Soul Ancestor, my cultivation greatly improved…”

“Let’s not spread the word about this yet…”

He didn’t hide it, telling her directly.

With their relationship as Daoist couple, it wasn’t an issue.

Hearing Lu Li’s confident answer, immense joy surged in Liu Luoxin’s heart.

Her cheeks flushed, and her eyes sparkled with admiration as she gazed at Lu Li.

A Nascent Soul cultivator, already standing at the pinnacle of the spiritual realm–it was something she had never dared imagine.

Who would have thought her husband would start breaking through to Nascent Soul in just under two hundred years?

The barrier between immortals and mortals, so easily crossed.

The more she cultivated, the more she realized the difficulty of achieving Nascent Soul.

With her own peak Golden Core cultivation, it still seemed far off.

“My lady congratulates her husband on the great increase in his cultivation and for stepping onto the Nascent Soul Path.”

Liu Luoxin propped herself up, her face excited.

Her white, enticing body emerged in mid-air, very appealing.

Lu Li smiled slightly, embraced her, and drew closer again.

“Ah…”

The two began to play and frolic.

The days were quite mundane thereafter.

Taking advantage of the time before officially entering seclusion, Lu Li polished his cultivation daily and engaged in Dual Cultivation with Liu Luoxin in the Emperor Palace.

Such days flickered by, and five years passed in an instant.

The couple remained as close as lacquer and glue, making the other concubines quite envious.

They even began to feel something unusual.

Following this, Lu Li issued a Dharma Decree, directing Lu Yuxuan to assist the Empress with the celestial court affairs.

This greatly shocked everyone throughout the court and nation.

Many speculated that something significant was about to happen.

On this day, early morning.

Lu Li, assisted by Liu Luoxin in dressing, headed towards a concealed chamber in the back.

He arrived at the center of the chamber, sat cross-legged, and began meditating.

He started to thoroughly sort through what he had learned, from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, each breakthrough firmly etched in his mind.

He corrected even the smallest mistakes.

As the Taiyin Refining Diagram continued to operate uninterrupted, his entire body became increasingly agile.

A vague aura of transcendence emerged from within.

His Divine Power also became smoother.

Lu Li was not in a hurry to break through, continuously running his Cultivation Technique…

This refinement lasted for ten years.

……

Ten years later,

In the center of the secret chamber,

Lu Li slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging, tumultuous Divine Power inside him, yet he remained very calm.
