Late Refinement Void stage!

In the Li Mansion, sensing the surging power within him, Li Su grinned. He had now reached the seventh level of Refinement Void. After his spiritual root reached the third class, he found himself advancing from the first layer of the Refinement Void to the late Refinement Void stage even faster than he had progressed from the first layer of Core Formation to the late Core Formation stage.

If shared with others, this would truly be a stunning revelation. The reasons behind this were twofold—his spiritual root had become more formidable, and the Li family had expanded significantly. While the Li family might not yet be comparable with the Eastern family, who were the sect leaders, at this stage, it had grown into a formidable force in the Canglan Realm. Despite only a few hundred years of development, Li Su believed it was only a matter of time before his family surpassed the Eastern family in terms of power and influence.

Li Su was in no hurry. At around four hundred and fifty years old, he was considered extremely young compared to many other cultivators, even those in the Nascent Soul stage. Some cultivators with spiritual roots lower than the fifth class were still struggling in the Core Formation stage at his age, desperately trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

“Elder Li, all the records about Dao artifacts are right here,” a voice echoed in the Returning Origin Sect’s library. Located on a small mountain peak, the library had a Refinement Void expert overseeing it. At the moment, the Returning Origin boasted at least nine Refinement Void experts. While the peak masters of the three major peaks had reached the Refinement Void late stage or higher, the rest were primarily in the Refinement Void early or middle stages. The Returning Origin’s strength, as a first-tier immortal sect, was indeed formidable.

Li Su had a rough estimate of the Returning Origin Sect’s strength. The sect leader was likely at the Unity stage. Still, it was unclear if they had reached the stage of the Five Declines of Heaven and Man, signifying a significant transformation in power with each tribulation.

This time, Li Su came to find knowledge about Dao artifacts, intending to start collecting information on this subject and begin crafting Dao artifacts. After obtaining some information at Xuantian Academy, he came to the Returning Origin Sect. His unique status there facilitated cooperation, and after diligently transcribing all the manuals and records, he left the sect.

Upon his return to the Northern Region, he received excellent news—the sect leader was about to break through to the Refinement Void stage. Li Su hurried to the Flying Immortal Sect immediately. The sect leader hadn’t yet broken through, but they were on the verge, much like Mystic Moon.

“Li Su, with the Northern Region now completely under the control of that woman, and with Xiao Xue about to break through to Refinement Void, if this news reaches her, that woman might resort to any means necessary. So, I don’t know if you can find a remote but safe place for Little Xue to break through to Refinement Void,” the sect leader’s aunt said, pulling Li Su aside. “Leave it to me.”

This time, the sect leader’s breakthrough to the Refinement Void stage was indeed quite fast. Now, it’s less than two hundred years until the sect leader reaches the Core Formation stage.

Even with a Spiritual Root, the sect leader’s speed was remarkable. Typically, it took a hundred years to reach Nascent Soul and about six to seven hundred years to attain Refinement Void. In essence, for someone with a Spiritual Root, reaching the Refinement Void stage from Core Formation would take at least four hundred years.

Li Su’s support, resources, and the rare pills and elixirs he provided contribute significantly to the sect leader’s rapid progress. The double speed enhancement from substantial rewards might even surpass the doubling of speed in practice, raising concerns for the threatening woman. Precautions were crucial to ensure the sect leader’s safety during this critical cultivation period.

The woman’s intense desire to kill the sect leader could stem from fear of retaliation as the sect leader grew stronger. Hence, news of the breakthrough to Refinement Void might trigger drastic measures. The sect leader’s aunt’s discretion in keeping this information private was reasonable, mirroring Li Su’s approach with Mystic Moon as he quietly departed for the Demonic Cloud Realm.

The demonic sects in the Demonic Cloud Realm were too weak for Li Su, mainly third-grade demonic sects surviving due to their cunning nature. While this realm wasn’t conducive to immortal sect development, it served the purpose of containing demonic practitioners. Behind the Demonic sects, an existence similar to the “immortal” level existed.

Allowing the Demonic Cloud Realm to persist prevented these practitioners from causing widespread trouble. Nevertheless, periodic wars organized by the Immortal Alliance against the Demonic Cloud Realm and the Demonic Holy Realm were essential to control their power. If unchecked, the Demonic Sect’s growing strength could extend beyond its current confines.

Ambition tended to grow with strength.  Soon, Li Su once again arrived in the Demonic Cloud Realm, choosing the same spot where he had previously advanced through the Refinement Void stage. Allowing the sect leader to break through into the magic sects’ territory might seem risky, but it was a shrewd move. Li Su, well-informed about the magic practitioners’ situation through Mystic Moon, knew that the Demonic Sect’s Holy Ground and many second-grade magic sects were busy exploring hidden places.
