Urban Invincible Overlord

Thinking of his son, Li Shuya’s heart tightened.

Back when he obtained the genetic liquid medicine, he let his Dao companion Ye Xiaojun and his son Li Muchen try it.

Li Muchen’s aptitude for cultivation was average, even though Li Shuya and Ye Xiaojun provided him with a wealth of cultivation resources, it only allowed Li Muchen to cultivate to the late-stage Foundation Establishment.

Li Shuya and Ye Xiaojun had three children in total, the eldest had no spirit root talent, so the couple experienced the pain of sending off a child and were unwilling for their remaining two children to depart early.

Originally, cultivation spirit roots were innate, if you didn’t have them, you didn’t have them, and the grade of the spirit root was determined early and couldn’t be changed.

But since the appearance of the genetic liquid medicine, all of this changed.

Li Shuya and Ye Xiaojun saw hope, so upon obtaining the genetic liquid medicine, Li Shuya immediately had his son Li Muchen take it, resulting in an extraordinary improvement in Li Muchen’s spirit root talent.

For this reason, Li Shuya held the genetic liquid medicine in high regard. Even though Yang Fei had destroyed one of his primordial spirit avatars, for the sake of his son and the medicine, he resolutely put aside his resentment, escorted Yang Fei to Shang Qing Sect, and stood up for Yang Fei despite knowing he would offend the couple Wang Yuanxiao and Bai Xumi. His purpose was to foster a good relationship with Yang Fei in hopes of obtaining more genetic liquid medicine.

Ever since bidding farewell to Shang Qing Sect, nearly twenty years had passed.

While twenty years and several months may seem long to the secular world, in the cultivation world, it passes in an instant.

After returning, Li Shuya also took some genetic liquid medicine and chose to retreat into closed cultivation.

He wanted to work hard to repair the destroyed primordial spirit avatar, and return to peak strength as soon as possible.

His decision to retreat for twenty years was because if his son Li Muchen couldn’t break through to the Core Formation Realm, his lifespan would only last until this time.

This was the effect of giving him a top-grade Lifespan Extension Pill; otherwise, even if he reached the peak of late-stage Foundation Establishment, his lifespan wouldn’t exceed three hundred under normal circumstances.

Now living to three hundred and twenty years was already the limit.

After emerging from closed cultivation, Li Shuya was about to ask Ye Xiaojun about their son’s situation. Ye Xiaojun informed him that after Li Muchen last took the genetic liquid medicine, the grade of his spirit root vaguely improved. Coupled with the couple’s preparation of ample, top-grade auxiliary elixirs for his Core Formation breakthrough, Li Muchen had begun his closed cultivation to attempt his Core Formation breakthrough three years ago and hadn’t emerged yet.

Li Shuya was deeply worried upon hearing this but didn’t dare use his divine sense rashly for fear of disturbing his son’s breakthrough process.

Just then, Ye Xiaojun informed him that Yang Fei and his group of three had been at the Flame Moon Sect for over a month.

Li Shuya immediately rushed over.

"Little Brother Yang, your cultivation speed is unprecedented in our Southern Domain Cultivation World." Li Shuya set aside his inner shock and said to Yang Fei with admiration.

Yang Fei smiled humbly, "Senior overpraises me. This junior’s realm is low, and I still need to work hard."

Li Shuya exclaimed, "With such talent against the heavens and still working hard, your future achievements will not fall beneath us, even surpassing figures like Shen Wanjing and Zhantai Chunqiu."

"Senior’s words flatter me." Yang Fei quickly waved his hands.

Deep down, he definitely believed his future would not fall short in the Southern Domain Cultivation World, but receiving praise from a late-stage Divinity Transformation Realm master was still embarrassing.

Li Shuya glanced at Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu, sighing, "When Earth was discovered, you were merely Foundation Establishment cultivation; now, only a few decades later, you’ve reached Core Formation cultivation. Is it truly the nurture of land and water?"

Yang Fei, Qin Yanyang, and Tong Yunshu all felt a slight stir.

Having been in the cultivation world for many years, they understood the spirit root situations of cultivation world cultivators.

The major sects in the cultivation world would search among secular nations for people with spirit root talent to cultivate, yet among the billions in the vast cultivation world, those with spirit root aptitude, able to cultivate, were extremely few.

Even in the major sects, the likelihood of having spirit root talent among the second or third generation is less than one in ten.

Among those with spirit root talent, those with outstanding talent who can smoothly establish a foundation are less than one in twenty. Among those who can establish a foundation, less than one percent can form a core.

The further you go, the lower the probability and the harder the breakthrough.

Therefore, in the vast Southern Domain Cultivation World, there are only a few dozen Divinity Transformation Realm masters, less than a hundred.

Above Divinity Transformation, Unity Realm masters are still unseen in the Southern Domain Cultivation World for millennia.

In contrast, although the number of people from Earth is not large, the probability of those able to step into Foundation Establishment and still have significant potential post-Foundation to form a core seems absurdly high.

Coupled with the genetic liquid medicine’s strong talent-enhancing effect on Southern Domain Cultivation World cultivators, Yang Fei could not help but think of a crazy idea.

Could it be that Earth’s human bloodline genes are fundamentally stronger than those in the cultivation world?

Moreover, could Earth’s human bloodline genes even enhance the genetic quality of humans in the cultivation world?

He forcibly suppressed this notion, which even seemed a bit absurd to himself, and laughed, "Haha, maybe that’s true. Haven’t you cultivation world folks noticed this pattern? When a newly developed plane world is in the stage of spiritual energy revival, it will produce a large number of extraordinarily talented cultivators. Perhaps we Earth cultivators happened to catch the special fortune blessing at the early stage of spiritual energy revival, so our talents might be slightly better."

Li Shuya nodded, "That should be the case. The plane world during spiritual energy revival does indeed produce many geniuses at the early stage."

He then shifted the topic, "After returning from Shang Qing Sect back then, I have been in closed cultivation, never imagined you’d come here, sorry to keep you waiting. Come, you three follow me to my residence, I’ll personally entertain you."

Unable to refuse his hospitality, Yang Fei and the two did not decline and followed him to his residence.

Compared to the mountain peak where Ling Shuanghua practiced quietly, this looked much more subdued. The peak was sealed off by a powerful array, without permission to pass, not even a Nascent Soul Stage master could breach it in a short time.

After the three followed Li Shuya inside the array, their spirits lifted, feeling as though they were isolated from the world, completely in another wonderland.

The bustle of other peaks of Flame Moon Sect was cut off, but from here one could still view the scenes of surrounding peaks.

"What a meticulous formation." Tong Yunshu praised sincerely.

"Haha, it seems this young sister likes to delve into formations as well."

A crisp female voice sounded.

Following the voice, the three saw a middle-aged beauty in white gracefully approach.

"Yang Fei, this is my wife, named Ye Xiaojun," Li Shuya introduced to Yang Fei.

Yang Fei hurriedly cupped his hands, "Junior Yang Fei, greets Senior Ye."

Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu also bowed.

A strong Nascent Soul Stage aura emanated from her.

Though she bore no malice and smiled warmly, the three could feel her aura was stronger than that of Mu Qingchuan and Zhou Wanqing.

This was a late-stage Nascent Soul master, and to the three, encountering a master of such rank ought to be met with respect!

Ye Xiaojun glanced at the three, smiled and nodded, about to speak, when her expression suddenly changed.

At the same moment, Li Shuya’s figure flickered and disappeared.

Yang Fei, Qin Yanyang, and Tong Yunshu were likewise startled, looking towards a location behind the mountain.

"Someone forming a core?" Tong Yunshu slightly surprised.

Yang Fei’s heart stirred, considering a possibility, looking at Ye Xiaojun, only to see her disappearing as well.

Yang Fei smiled slightly, thinking the couple Li Shuya and Ye Xiaojun would perhaps feel even more grateful and respectful towards him now.
