Chapter 415: Chapter 231: Nascent Soul Breakthrough!_2

His entire body began to radiate a luminous treasure light, as if it were translucent like jade.

Waves of exotic fragrance wafted from his body, and a great amount of golden blood flowed throughout, emitting a whistling sound.

At this moment, he had truly stood at the peak of all Golden Core Cultivators in the entire Spiritual World.

Today was the moment for his breakthrough.

Just as Lu Li was preparing to assault the Nascent Soul, the outside world had already grown tumultuous.

Inside the Emperor Palace’s great hall.

Cheng Xuanying and Wang Yan, the two women, sat facing Liu Luoxin, their faces also filled with excitement.

The two women had also noticed some signs.

Since their husband had entered seclusion, it had been almost ten years without the slightest hint of emerging.

Furthermore, it had been Lu Yuxuan managing the immortal dynasty throughout this period, which was quite unusual.

“Sister, is our husband about to break through to the Nascent Soul?” Wang Yan asked excitedly, her eyes sparkling.

“This matter must not be publicized widely,” Liu Luoxin replied, sipping on Spiritual Tea, not denying it.

Hearing this, Cheng Xuanying and the other woman rose excitedly, clenching their fists.

Once Lu Li broke through to the Nascent Soul, their status and position would soar once again.

With Lu Li’s backing in the future, even breaking through to the Nascent Soul would not be hopeless.

This made it impossible for the two women to hide their inner turbulence.

Inside the secret chamber.

Lu Li paid no attention to the changes in the outside world and began to make a full-fledged breakthrough.

His consciousness slowly sank into the universe within his body.

On the Central Spiritual Field, he saw piles of high-level Five Elements Spiritual Items.

There were also many Crystal Core Fragments lying quietly on the ground.

Waves of glowing light flickered, and even the surrounding Spiritual Energy became somewhat disorderly.

These Spiritual Objects were obtained from his dealings with Mo Qingyan, along with what he had collected himself, including several Crystal Cores, enough for him to launch an assault on the Nascent Soul.

“Swoosh…”

With a thought, multicolored radiances appeared in the void.

They washed over the massive quantities of Spiritual Objects on the ground.

As a pile of Spiritual Objects began dissolving deep in the ground, his inner world started to expand violently.

The mist at the world’s edge rolled swiftly, gradually pouring into the world.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

As the inner world trembled slightly, the ground plates also began to expand.

“Two billion zhang, two billion five hundred million zhang, three billion zhang…”

The expansion of the inner world slowed only when it reached four billion zhang.

By then, the Spiritual Objects on the ground had been exhausted.

Lu Li knew that these high-level Spiritual Objects could only bring him to this realm, still somewhat short of the Nascent Soul.

Next, the main show was about to start.

The Power of the World he controlled surged towards the Crystal Core Fragments on the ground.

“Sizz…”

As the Crystal Core Fragments slowly dissolved, the entire inner world expanded rapidly once again.

This time it was even more violent.

Through the space, endless colors shot through like a celebration.

On the ground, numerous spirit beasts ran and leaped about, looking up at the sky in terror.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

It seemed like there was no limit to the ascent of the inner world.

Five billion zhang, seven billion zhang, nine billion zhang…

Until reaching nine billion nine hundred ninety-nine million nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine zhang, Lu Li felt as though he had reached a limit.

He could not advance any further.

He knew he had reached the bottleneck.

Only by breaking through the barrier could he reach another realm.

Looking at the two remaining small Crystal Cores on the ground, he roared.

“Break for me!”

With the rush of the Power of the World, the Crystal Cores began to dissolve rapidly.

“Humming…”

The entire world began to expand once more.

Moments later, as the inner world shook violently, the area finally reached ten billion zhang.

At this moment, Lu Li felt as if the sound of evening drums and morning bells were striking beside his ear, causing a great shock to his spirit.

A beam of light as white and pure as jade shot up from his body into the sky, breaking through the surrounding Arrays in an instant, shattering them.

Outside.

Countless Cultivators looked up at the sudden appearance of a pure white Jade Pillar in the sky, their faces filled with astonishment.

“What’s happened?”

“Is this…where the Emperor has secluded himself?”

Many people reacted instantly.

“Has the Emperor broken through to the Nascent Soul?”

The many Cultivators of the immortal dynasty were shocked.

This breath, which made people feel suffocated, pressed on their chests like a giant mountain, making it difficult for them to breathe.

It was no longer something that an ordinary Golden Core peak Cultivator could cause.

Near the Emperor’s Palace, the palaces of the concubines burst into celebrations one after another.

A group of Lu Family members around were even more excited, their faces flushed with emotion.

After Lu Li’s breakthrough success, their Immortal Dynasty would become the dominant power throughout the entire Falling Dragon Sea, unshakable evermore.

At this moment, inside a side palace.

Mo Qingyan slowly opened her eyes, her face filled with disbelief.

“Has the Nascent Soul truly been achieved?”

She had always thought that Lu Li would need at least two hundred more years to break through, yet he had done so astonishingly quickly.

This took her some time to adjust to.

In just over a decade, this disciple and grand-disciple of hers had risen to the same heights as her.

She had planned on relying on Lu Li to collect a vast number of Crystal Core Fragments to enhance the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, but now that was no longer possible.

This left her with no choice but to start training new disciples all over again.

Inside the secret chamber.

Lu Li opened his eyes, with a ray of golden light shooting straight into the void.

Feeling the ocean-like Divine Power within his body filled him with delight.

The Divine Power was now more than ten times stronger than before the breakthrough, and much purer as well.

Even his physical body had broken through two barriers, reaching the level of a high-grade Magic Treasure.

His overall strength had become incomparably greater.

He was hundreds of times stronger than before.

He clenched his fist, feeling the surging power as if he could shake the void itself.

“The Nascent Soul truly is worlds apart from the Golden Core.”

Lu Li couldn’t help but sigh in amazement.

No wonder even his top-tier Divine Body had a hard time challenging Nascent Soul Great Powers before.

Only after his own breakthrough did he truly understand.

Even at the peak of Golden Core, one was still but a slightly larger ant in the face of a Nascent Soul Great Power.

In the following days, Lu Li stayed in the secret chamber to consolidate his cultivation.

Until several months passed.

On this day, at dawn.

Lu Li rose and walked out of the secret chamber towards the Emperor Palace’s grand hall.

He no sooner set foot in the grand hall

than he saw a group of concubines, led by Liu Luoxin, kneeling on the ground.

Liu Luoxin was dressed in a red phoenix robe, her figure incredibly voluptuous.

“Your humble concubine congratulates the Emperor on achieving the Nascent Soul Path.”

Everyone shouted in unison, their voices crisp and pleasant, like the song of orioles.

Lu Li smiled faintly, quickly stepped forward, and helped Liu Luoxin to her feet.

“Xin Er, there’s no need for such formalities.”

Then he led Liu Luoxin towards a jade table.

The ladies nearby, including Cheng Xuanying, all looked on with envy.

As the Daoist couple that came from humble beginnings, Liu Luoxin was highly valued by Lu Li; they harbored no thoughts of competition.

Liu Luoxin proceeded to softly report everything that had occurred over the years to Lu Li.

Lu Li listened with a smile, not interrupting.

It wasn’t until over half an hour later that Liu Luoxin finished her report.

To summarize, the Immortal Dynasty had started to expand fully, its strength and foundation constantly growing every moment.

“Yu Xuan has done very well.”

Lu Li nodded in affirmation.

“From now on, let her serve as the Empress, managing the Immortal Dynasty. You may preside over the court and impart guidance as well; I have already broken through to the Nascent Soul, so I will not interfere much with worldly affairs.”

After the breakthrough to Nascent Soul, his mindset had already changed.

Even if the Immortal Dynasty expanded tenfold, it wouldn’t be of much help to him anymore.

He would now formally embark on the path of immortal cultivation.

Hearing this, Liu Luoxin’s face registered shock, not expecting this day to come so swiftly.

It hadn’t been many years since Lu Li became the Emperor, and now he was about to pass the throne to their daughter.

Zhuang Guxue and Yin Qian, standing behind, were also taken aback.

With the future Empress in control of the Immortal Dynasty, it would likely be quite a spectacle.

However, both women had already given birth to heirs and had no worries about their future.

After further exchanges, Lu Li rose and made his way out of the hall.

He walked along Jade Avenue.

Under the awe-filled gazes of the maids on either side, he reached a side palace.

He stepped inside.

There he saw Mo Qingyan, sitting on a cushion, looking at him with complexity.

The woman was clad in white, pure and ethereal.

“You have come.”

Lu Li smiled and nodded, sitting down opposite her.

This elder’s incarnation was only in the initial stage of Nascent Soul, and she did not exert much pressure on him.

With his strength, defeating this manifestation of hers was not a difficult task.

“Elder, could you enlighten me on some of the hidden matters of the Spirit Realm?”

Lu Li asked respectfully, bowing his hands with humility.

“There’s no need for such formality; from now on, just call me Sister, and we’ll discuss the Dao as equals,” said Mo Qingyan with a charming smile.
