Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

The doors of the Quiet Room opened, and Li Xianjiao, dressed in a white palace costume, who became even more beautiful and charming, with an aura ethereal and unearthly, walked out. Then she caught sight of Zhao Yu standing not far from the door and immediately revealed a sweet smile, "Uncle!"

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Congratulations on your successful advancement to Nascent Soul, Xianjiao!"

The White Ghost Emperor on the side cracked a smile, waved his hand, and along with the Red Emperor and the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor, retreated.

Li Xianjiao's advancement to Nascent Soul was the most important event for the Dan Ling Sect. Zhao Yu personally served as her protector, watching over her for a full half-year.

Li Xianjiao chuckled lightly, her jade hand hooked Zhao Yu's chin, imitating his frivolous manner perfectly, "Hmph, I have advanced to Nascent Soul, my cultivation has succeeded, when shall we celebrate!"

"Oh! You've become so bold, daring to tease me, I definitely won't let you off!"

Zhao Yu feigned anger, his large hand scooped up Li Xianjiao, and then he walked towards the main bedroom.

An indescribably delightful spring breeze ensued.

The news of Li Xianjiao's advancement to Nascent Soul quickly spread throughout the entire Blue Sky Sea's human cultivator circles, all over the Blue Sky Sea domain; everyone knew that the Dan Ling Sect had given rise to another Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Zhao Yu also planned to hold a grand Nascent Soul ceremony, sending out countless invitations, inviting fellow cultivators from all over to come and celebrate.

Three months later, streaks of Escape Light flew in from all directions, landing in a small Dan City outside the Dan Ling Sect, and then proceeded on foot towards Dan Ling Sect's main peak.

Only Nascent Soul Cultivators had the privilege to fly directly to Dan Ling Sect's main peak, while the rest of the cultivators had to ascend the mountain on foot.

A green-robed elder and a youngster in grey clothes with an ordinary appearance also made their way up the mountain on foot.

The youngster in grey couldn't help but exclaim as his gaze fell upon several imposing Golden Core cultivators, "So many cultivators! Those are actually Golden Core cultivators!"

"Today is the Nascent Soul ceremony for the spouse of Dan Ling Sect's Sect Master, and these are all leaders from the major islands of the Blue Sky Sea region, coming to offer their congratulations. I've heard that Sect Master Zhao is very protective; he once directly slew a Nascent Soul True Monarch of Haiyuan Palace for one of his spouses."

"Those island masters dare not fail to come! Sect Master Zhao may not remember who attended the Nascent Soul ceremony, but his subordinates surely will note which island master did not," said the green-robed elder slowly.

A tall, thin cultivator at the Golden Core Early Stage approached from the side and glanced at the green-robed elder with a cold voice, "You talk too much!"

The green-robed elder, with a mid-Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level, immediately bent over to salute, slapped himself a few times, and humbly said, "Senior is right! I was out of line to discuss such esteemed cultivators, I deserve to be slapped!"

"I must become a top-tier cultivator one day!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the youngster in grey felt a surge of humiliation, lowered his head, and clenched his fists. It was a scene he had seen many times before.

"Hmph!"

The Golden Core Early Stage cultivator snorted coldly and strode towards the mountain top.

The green-robed elder led the grey-clothed youngster forward, arriving at a vast square at the summit, the ground paved with a layer of white jade.

Sitting on that vast square were leaders from various major powers of the Blue Sky Sea territory.

On a white jade platform at the other end of the square, sat Zhao Yu, Li Xianjiao, Shangguan Lingxiu, Nangong Shiyao, Tuoba Xue, Wei Xinlan, Wu Zixin, Ling Qianxue, and other Nascent Soul Cultivators like Jin Ling True Monarch.

Below the white jade platform were seated the leaders of various powers who had come to offer their congratulations.

The gray-clad youth thought to himself, "So that is Zhao Yu from the Dan Ling Sect, and he has seven partners. Indeed, he is such a lecher as the rumors claim, but he truly is handsome!"

The elderly man in blue and the gray-clad youth took their seats in the farthest corner of the square.

"Little Turtle Island presents a Thousand-Year Seven-Spirit Rose as a tribute, wishing Fairy Li successful cultivation and an ascension to immortality!"

"Light Glow Island presents a Thousand-Year Seven-Color Pearl as a tribute, wishing Fairy Li successful cultivation and longevity equal to the heavens!"

". . . ."

Leaders of the various major powers stepped forward one after another to present their gifts and blessings, making the ceremony highly festive.

"Saint Blue Palace's Fire Spirit True Monarch, Stone Saint True Monarch, Wuhuang True Monarch, and Cloud Crown True Monarch have arrived!"

A voice came from the sky, and four auspicious clouds flew from afar. Standing on them were four middle-aged cultivators: a burly figure with long hair and a fiery demeanor, an average-looking figure who seemed as ordinary as a rock, a handsome figure with a smile on his face, and a tall, handsome figure who looked very shrewd.

Next to the shrewd-looking middle-aged cultivator stood a breathtaking beauty; tall, curvaceous, with snow-white skin like jade, shoulder-length blue wavy hair, starry eyes, and an aquiline nose, radiating an ethereal charm.

Dozens of cultivators from Saint Blue Palace followed behind these four Nascent Soul Cultivators.

"Saint Blue Palace? They've come too?"

"One of the two dominant overlords among the Lan Kong Sea's human races, Saint Blue Palace has also sent delegates! And they've dispatched four True Monarchs! All four are powerful Mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivators!"

". . . ."

Many leaders of the forces were visibly moved.

In the Lan Kong Sea, Saint Blue Palace and Seven Seas Sect are the topmost hegemonic human powers with Late Nascent Soul Stage grand cultivators in their ranks, and both powers boast more than ten Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Even though the Sea God Meeting has many Nascent Soul elders, the number of Nascent Soul Cultivators that Sea God Meeting's leader, True Monarch Hao Hai, can mobilize is limited, and their combat power pales in comparison to the two overlords.

"So it is friends from Saint Blue Palace. I, Zhao Yu, am honored by your presence! Please, take your seats!"

Zhao Yu stood up and waved his hand. A beam of Spiritual Light shimmered and four jade tables suddenly appeared. Beautiful attendants approached and served all kinds of exquisite delicacies.

The four Nascent Soul Cultivators from Saint Blue Palace promptly took their seats.

"Fairy Li, this is a Ten-Thousand-Year Jade Fragrance Fruit, a congratulatory gift from our Saint Blue Palace! Congratulations on advancing to Nascent Soul Stage, and may you have high hopes for ascension!"

The shrewd-looking Cloud Crown True Monarch smiled slightly and flicked his finger. A jade box smoothly flew towards Li Xianjiao. Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire

Li Xianjiao smiled and casually accepted the jade box, saying, "Many thanks, fellow Daoist!"

Cloud Crown True Monarch kept his smile and looked directly at Zhao Yu, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, I've heard that even the Black Jiao Emperor from Jiao Divine Palace fell by your hand. We've come here partly to attend the esteemed lady's Nascent Soul Ceremony and partly to witness your abilities. Why not take this fine opportunity to have a friendly exchange of skills?"

The venue suddenly fell silent, and a myriad of odd glances landed on Zhao Yu.

All the leaders of the major powers knew well that Zhao Yu had slain the Black Jiao Emperor and eradicated many Fourth-Order Great Demons of Transformation from Jiao Divine Palace using a grand formation. It was true that Dan Ling Sect had a powerful Mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivator like Golden Spirit True Monarch, but Dan Ling Sect's foundation couldn't compare to Saint Blue Palace.
