Chapter 1657: Mahayana
Chapter 1657: Chapter 1657: Mahayana
Li Shaobai followed the disciples at the Nascent Soul Stage to offer congratulations, feeling a mix of emotions.
When he first met them, they were at the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment stages; now they’ve become Mahayana Cultivators, an existence he could only aspire to.
He served his sentence for twenty years, and after being released, reached the late-stage Nascent Soul, feeling somewhat pleased. But the woman he admired has achieved Mahayana. Now her partner is also Mahayana.
Only they are truly the most suitable pair, right?
Tan Shaoting exchanged pleasantries for a while and gifted everyone with a reward from the Heavenly Dao. This was the most precious gift, and everyone sincerely thanked the ancestor. As it was getting late, the family returned to Huai Sheng Mountain.
"Sister, today was truly overwhelming," Wei Lingyun said, her face full of excitement, her eyes filled with longing.
"Yes, today was truly an eye-opener, witnessing Mahayana Thunder Tribulation. If there’s a chance, we must come to see the Ascension Thunder Tribulation in the future."
"Hmm, I hope we get that chance. I wonder if it’s possible for me in the future."
"Of course, we must strive for it," they encouraged each other.
The family gathered, truly joyful, feeling one step closer to ascension.
Qi Yan and his siblings felt a sense of urgency, even though they were already at Divinity Transformation stage, still at a distance from Mahayana.
The path from Mahayana to ascension would still take much time; afterward, it’s merely a matter of exchanging time for space.
Su Yuanyuan smiled at them, "No need to rush; haste makes waste. Maintain a calm mindset, as hurried cultivation won’t be effective. Once your father is stable for a while, we should take a trip to the Outer Sea.
Wu Yanhui mentioned the last material he heard of in the Outer Sea, so we’re going to check it out.
Besides, we might have unexpected gains, and Gu Ersheng feels that we might find the reason for the Starry Realm’s anomaly there."
Qi Wen was delighted. "Mother, it’s great to venture to the Outer Sea again; perfect for a trip outside. Father, when will you retreat into seclusion?"
"Tomorrow, very soon."
Tan Shaoting’s last seclusion lasted too long, and he had been longing for his wife.
The couple entered the space; Tan Shaoting seemed insatiable.
They typically engaged in dual cultivation, becoming even more enthralling.
Initially planning to enter seclusion the next day, it turned out the couple only emerged from space ten days later.
Liu Xiaozhu had already decided that the Mahayana Grand Ceremony would be a year later, giving the family ample time to visit the Outer Sea.
Tan Shaoting emerged from seclusion a month later, and the family merely conveyed a message to Liu Xiaozhu before summoning Wu Yanhui and six others.
They had long been preparing for the return. Wu Yanhui was the most excited.
Spending so many years here, he had collected many items unknown at home, most importantly the entire collection of Spirit Plants needed for the Divinity Transformation Pill.
He knew it wouldn’t be an issue to request help from the Tan Family in alchemy.
They were especially grateful to the Xuantian Sect for helping repair the Ascension Channel, finding Feng Yan immediately.
This was a gesture to repay the Xuantian Sect and the Tan Family.
He felt as if he instantaneously returned to Wuyong City.
Setting foot on his homeland once again, the seven people felt an intense sense of familiarity.
The Wu Family Master instantly sensed the arrival of high-level cultivators, instantly teleporting to see his son and the Tan Family members he hadn’t seen in years, feeling deeply moved.
"Greetings to the mighty ones."
"Wu Family Master, no need for formalities."
"Father, now the two have become Mahayana cultivators, three are Divinity Transformation cultivators, and the remaining two are late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators."
The Wu Family Master was incredibly shocked; twenty-plus years felt long, yet for cultivators, especially high-level ones, it was not too long.
Previously a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and now they’ve become Mahayana?
"Greetings, Master Tan, Master Su, and the three Daojuns, and two fellow cultivators."
Tan Shaoting said helplessly, "There’s no need for formalities, we’ve come over for some matters."
"Please, rest at the City Lord Mansion."
Wu Yanhui talked with the Wu Family Master about needing Geng Earth along the way.
"The family warehouse has some. I collected them whenever encountered."
The Tan Family members were relieved, as they could exchange if they have the materials needed.
After all, opening the Ascension Channel would also mean the Spiritual Energy of the Starry Realm would become denser, benefiting them greatly in the future.
The Wu Family Master respectfully invited them to the main seat. It had been years; even a Divinity Transformation cultivator was rare, yet now they encountered Mahayana cultivators.
He was a sensible person, "Master Tan, I will personally head over to retrieve the Geng Earth."
The Wu Family Master swiftly fetched the Geng Earth, appearing in Tan Shaoting’s hand.
"Wu Family Master, could you lead us to the discovery site of the Geng Earth?"
The soul body mentioned Ba Tian collected all the Geng Earth from the Starry Realm; why is there some here? It’s impossible for it to exist without reason; better to see in person for assurance.
"This way, distinguished guests," the Wu Family Master understood; it’s wise to act upon instructions rather than persuading them to rest.
Since only they knew, the journey could only be made by Flying Boat.
Five days later, they reached a valley. "Master Tan, this is where we discovered it; we intuitively knew it was Geng Earth but didn’t know its use." The Wu Family Master didn’t hide anything.
Su Yuanyuan extended her Divine Sense underground but found nothing, fearing she missed something. After several rounds of scanning, she still discovered nothing.
"Wu Family Master, do you recall the specific location?"
"Master Tan, it was at the foot of this mountain that I unexpectedly discovered it."
The family’s Divine Sense combed around the mountain but still found no traces.
"Mother, could someone have intentionally placed it here?"
Su Yuanyuan felt the same; the location seemed unrelated to Geng Earth.
"But what’s the reason for placing Geng Earth here?"
Tan Shaoting embraced his wife’s shoulder, "What’s the use of thinking so much? We’ve found the Geng Earth, and all materials are gathered."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Indeed, why be troubled?"
Their primary objective in visiting the Outer Sea was achieved; afterwards, they would investigate the reason Ba Tian destroyed the Ascension Channel.
They invited the Wu family father and son to return; the family remained on the Flying Boat.
Gu Ersheng floated out, "I believe it’s in the deep pit there."
They obtained the Yin Yang Pearl there last time, without noticing issues.
It was reasonable, given their lower cultivation back then, possibly missing it.
The family reached the deep pit; Su Yuanyuan’s Divine Sense probed inside, still without findings.
Gu Ersheng remained outside, "Qi Wen, accompany me down."
"Did you discover something? Perhaps I should join you," Tan Shaoting suggested.
Su Yuanyuan pondered, "Let’s all go down together to investigate."
Gu Ersheng had no objections.
With their current cultivation, the distinction between underground and aboveground was negligible.
Under Gu Ersheng’s guidance, they continued descending deeply for quite a distance.
