Chapter 54: Secret

Chapter 54: Secret After understanding the current situation, Li Su started thinking about a solution. The materials required for the Diffraction Killing Formation were extremely rare, and many Li Su had never even heard of them. It was highly unlikely that they could be found in the warehouses of the three major immortal sects. Repairing this killing array would not be easy for him. Although the Diffraction Killing Formation could be enhanced with advantageous terrain, the current location was not particularly suitable. The previous formation master and the early Nascent Soul cultivator had to hurriedly take refuge underground without the luxury of selecting a proper battlefield. The killing array relied heavily on the use of formation weapons to maintain its flexibility. Fortunately, some of the array flags had not been completely destroyed, and Li Su believed they could be repaired. After collecting these damaged array flags with the help of an array disk, Li Su realized that a few of them could be restored. After repairing these array flags and obtaining some spiritual stones, I can deal with this guy, Li Su murmured. The demon cultivator was on the verge of recovering to the Nascent Soul stage. Allowing him to escape could lead to swift recovery, possibly surpassing his previous strength. However, within the Diffraction Killing Formation, no spiritual energy was left, and the demon cultivators supplies were already depleted. So, even with the limited number of spiritual stones in the formation, it would be difficult for him to break free. After observing the demon cultivator for a few more days, Li Su quietly exits the killing array. Leaving the array, Li Su went to the Flying Immortal Sect. He found a skilled foundation-building stage refiner there and was impressed by their exquisite craftsmanship. Im not skilled enough to create such powerful formation flags, but repairing them shouldnt be a problem. Let me give it a try, Li Su thought. He was cautious not to attempt repairing the flags himself, as his 100 years of experience in refining might not be sufficient. Instead, he planned to seek the help of the foundation-building stage refiner, who seemed more adept at this aspect. If the refiner could not repair the flags, Li Su would consider allocating more experience points to his refining skills. However, he intended to focus on alchemy, as even the most experienced refiner without good materials would not achieve much. They could not create a dish like a world-class gourmet chef without ingredients. After prioritizing his alchemy pursuits, Li Su would tackle the refining matter later. As the craftsman seemed capable of repairing it, Li Su handed over five formation flags to him. The five array flags had suffered minor damage and could be fixed without Li Sus presence. However, given the flags advanced nature, the repairs would take a considerable amount of time. It will likely take one to two years, but Ill notify you once its done, the refiner said. Thank you, Master Mu, Li Su replied gratefully. The refiner was pleased to hear the recently acclaimed Golden Core elder of the Flying Immortal Sect address him as master. Qin Xiaoyue realized that she couldnt break through the Golden Core stage during these eight months, so she sought help from Li Su. She didnt approach the sect leader. It was because that secret location had restrictions, and even Golden Core cultivators couldnt enter it in the later stages. She also didnt consider asking other elders from the Flying Immortal Sect. Instead, she chose to ask Li Su for assistance. Brother, if you are willing to help me, Ill share the contents inside with you equally, Qin Xiaoyue said. Li Su pondered for a moment and agreed, Okay, the array flag will take one to two years to repair. Once its fixed, Ill deal with the demon cultivator, and in the meantime, I can visit the secret realm. Thank you, brother! Qin Xiaoyue expressed her gratitude and left Lis residence. In the following months, Li Su focused on the important task of increasing his descendants. After just six months, the number of Li family descendants successfully surpassed 100,000. 100,000, Li Su smiled, pleased with the achievement. This time, he received a reward of a thousand years of cultivation and a 1% chance of his offspring being born with spiritual roots. A 1% increase was significant. Li Su didnt rush to claim the thousand years of cultivation because he worried that if he did, he might miss the chance to enter the secret place if he reached the seventh level of the Golden Core. With only two months left, Li Su could afford to wait and decide whether to claim the thousand years of cultivation after he entered the secret place. As the eighth month approached, Qin Xiaoyue returned. Li Su had already made all the necessary arrangements. He had improved and strengthened the array at home during these months. As for the threat from the Heavenly Demon Palace, the Flying Immortal Sect had dispatched a large number of disciples to guard the perimeter, and there was no news yet, so they were unlikely to arrive so soon. Thus, Li Su and Qin Xiaoyue left the Li Mansion, flying north in Qin Xiaoyues flying boat towards the location of the secret place, which seemed to be in the northern part of Wu country.
