Chapter 464: Soul Searching

Upon hearing her husband’s words, Li Zixuan decided to wait a few more years until her cultivation level reached the Tribulation stage before she sought a life planet.

However, just as Li Zixuan made up her mind to wait for her breakthrough to the Tribulation stage,

on this day, a Tribulation stage cultivator returned to Cuori Planet.

“Ancestor, you are back!”

At Tianxuan Immortal Tower, a staying Integration stage cultivator greeted the returning Tribulation stage ancestor.

Aside from this Integration stage cultivator who stayed behind to teach the disciples, all other cultivators above the Transformation stage had gone to assist Xiyao Immortal Palace in transforming life planets.

The reason was simple: Xiyao Immortal Palace offered too much.

For instance, the longevity pills, which were extremely hard to come by in the cultivation world, were available in bulk at Xiyao Immortal Palace.

As long as certain contributions were made, one could exchange for longevity elixirs there.

This was undoubtedly a massive temptation for those whose lifespans were nearing the end.

In addition, there were many elixirs that helped cultivators break through their realms, also available in bulk at Xiyao Immortal Palace.

Even the elixirs that increased the probability of a Great Ascension stage cultivator breaking through to the Tribulation stage could be exchanged for, provided the contributions were sufficient.

Thus, of all the cultivators above Transformation stage, except for one or two left behind to teach, the majority were arranged by their respective sects to transform life planets in the starry sky.

Especially those sects with only Great Ascension stage cultivators and no Tribulation stage cultivators in charge were the most eager.

If not for Xiyao Immortal Palace’s ban on having cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage involved in transforming life planets, it was likely that even Golden Core stage disciples would have been sent to work.

This was because, as long as they could earn enough contributions, they could exchange them for elixirs that helped Great Ascension stage cultivators break through to Tribulation stage.

Once a sect had a Tribulation stage great emperor, the entire sect would elevate to a whole new level.

Meanwhile, those cultivators whose lifespans were about to run out were eagerly chasing after longevity pills.

With sufficient lifespan and the help of breakthrough elixirs, they could very likely ascend to a higher level and gain more lifespan.

For example, a Great Ascension stage cultivator nearing the end of their lifespan could potentially break through to the Tribulation stage using longevity pills and breakthrough elixirs.

Once they broke through to the Tribulation stage, they could easily extend their lifespan by at least twenty thousand years.

Thus, in pursuit of various elixirs, all sects in the cultivation world had to work hard to transform life planets to earn contributions.

…

“I came here to receive an immigration mission; the Immortal Palace has decided to immigrate ten million people from Cuori Planet within a decade, and I am in charge of relocating them to star 34.”

After stating this, the Tribulation stage ancestor from Tianxuan Immortal Tower asked the staying Integration stage cultivator, “What big events have happened here since we left?”

Hearing the ancestor’s question, the Integration stage cultivator hurriedly replied, “Nothing major has happened on Cuori Planet, but a strange event has occurred recently.”

“What kind of event?”

“It is like this: in a small country in the southern region, a Great Ascension stage cultivator named Li Zixuan suddenly appeared.

I checked and found out that this Great Ascension stage saint cultivated from an ordinary person to Great Ascension stage in less than one hundred years.

So, I suspect that this Great Ascension stage cultivator must have some significant opportunity.” The Integration stage cultivator said to the ancestor.

Upon hearing this, the Tribulation stage cultivator widened his eyes, “Are you sure this person progressed from an ordinary person to Great Ascension stage in just one hundred years?”

This is too outrageous, one hundred years!

Many people take at least a few thousand years to cultivate to the Great Ascension stage, and those with poorer talent need over ten thousand years.

Now, there’s someone who has reached the Great Ascension stage in less than a hundred years—this is unbelievable!

“Ancestor, I’ve already investigated this matter, and I can confirm…” The Integration stage cultivator quickly nodded and began to share the detailed information he had gathered.

After hearing about Li Zixuan’s situation, he immediately set out to gather information.

He learned that Li Zixuan, the Great Ascension stage cultivator, is under one hundred years old and began cultivating over eighty years ago.

In Sanhe City, many elders know about Li Zixuan’s circumstances.

This includes the fact that she married Liu Sanlang decades ago and details about her parents.

“By the way, ancestor, I also discovered that almost all of Li Zixuan’s descendants possess spirit root talent…”

“All of them possess spirit root talent?”

“Yes, Liu Sanlang and Li Zixuan have two sons and one daughter, and all three of them have spirit roots.”

“Furthermore, the descendants born to these three also almost all have spirit root talent, and the talent of these descendants is at least top-grade spirit roots…”

“According to my findings, the descendants of Li Zixuan and Liu Sanlang now exceed three hundred, and every one of them possesses top-grade spirit roots…”

Upon hearing this, the Tribulation stage ancestor was immediately intrigued.

“It seems that Li Zixuan might have a great secret.”

The next moment, he spread his divine sense with full force and quickly located the Great Ascension stage Li Zixuan on the planet.

“Are you Li Zixuan?”

Soon, the Tribulation stage ancestor from Tianxuan Immortal Tower appeared directly in front of Li Zixuan.

Feeling the powerful pressure of the Tribulation stage, Li Zixuan quickly bowed respectfully.

“Junior Li Zixuan pays respects to the elder.”

“I heard that you cultivated to the Great Ascension stage in less than one hundred years—is this true?” The Tribulation stage cultivator lightly inquired.

Upon hearing this, Li Zixuan felt a chill in her heart, but she mustered the courage to nod her head.

“Yes, I did indeed reach the Great Ascension stage in less than one hundred years, but my rapid cultivation is entirely due to my talent.”

“Your talent?” The late Tribulation stage cultivator expressed some doubt. “You’re not trying to deceive me, are you?”

“Elder, my husband Liu Sanlang is the same age as me, yet he is only in late Foundation Establishment now. If I had anything that could help others accelerate their cultivation, I would never withhold it from my husband,” Li Zixuan explained stiffly.

Hearing Li Zixuan’s words, the ancestor of Tianxuan Immortal Tower remained noncommittal.

After a moment of thought, he lightly said to Li Zixuan, “Calm your mind and allow me to conduct a soul search; I promise not to harm you, otherwise…”

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Zixuan’s descendants.

His words remained unfinished, yet they sent a chill down Li Zixuan’s spine from start to finish.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Zixuan nodded, “Elder, I can allow you to conduct a soul search, but you must guarantee that my descendants will not be harmed.”

Facing a Tribulation stage cultivator, Li Zixuan had no means to resist.

With her cultivation level, resistance would mean death and would also endanger her descendants.

“I promise.”

The ancestor of Tianxuan Immortal Tower nodded.

Hearing the promise from the ancestor, Li Zixuan could only grit her teeth and step forward, presenting her head to him.

She didn’t even dare to harbor a trace of hatred for fear that he might hunt down all her descendants.

People who could not defeat others yet held onto resentment were often afraid that the enemy would eliminate all roots of trouble.

In the situation where Li Zixuan dared not resist, the ancestor of Tianxuan Immortal Tower directly began the soul search on her.

What he said about the soul search not harming Li Zixuan was naturally impossible.

However, just as the ancestor began the soul search,

the next moment, a highly secretive soul mark within Li Zixuan’s sea of souls was instantly activated.
