Chapter 65 – Purple Sun Pavilion
Lu Kangnian nodded. “The kid’s breakthrough to the Foundation Building Realm was so powerful that it triggered a natural phenomenon. I believe this year’s spirit void opening results will depend on Guanqi.”
Then, he turned to look at Qin Xian and asked, “How many disciples have broken through to the Foundation Building Realm within the past year?”
Qin Xian replied, “A total of seventy-six people. But... nearly ninety percent of them have reached the Cliff Age.”
Li Guanqi asked, “Master, what is the Cliff Age?”
Li Nanting replied via voice transmission, “People can maintain their spiritual light at full capacity until the age of sixteen. Past that age, no one can open the spirit void, even after reaching the Foundation Building Realm.”
Lu Kangnian fell silent for a moment before letting out a sigh. “Our sect’s resources are too scarce. If we had more, our disciples could cultivate much faster...”
He continued, “As usual, the spirit void opening will take place at Purple Sun Pavilion this year. Since Li Guanqi will be participating, Li Nanting will lead the group. Confirm the number of attendees tomorrow—we depart the day after.”
Li Nanting nodded, then he left with Li Guanqi.
The two flew on their swords side by side. Li Nanting said, “I can’t believe you reached the Foundation Building Realm so quickly. Most people spend two or three years at the Qi Refinement Realm. You’ve done well, achieving the Foundation Building Realm in just five months.”
Li Guanqi smiled but said nothing. The monotony of cultivation kept his mind at peace. Due to his blindness, he had spent many years in lonely darkness, and he had long grown accustomed to solitude. To him, cultivation was a way to relax.
After a moment of thought, Li Guanqi asked, “Master, why does Sect Master Lu Kangnian take the spirit void opening so seriously?”
Li Nanting pondered momentarily and replied, “The spirit void is even more unpredictable than spirit root quality, but it’s undeniable that every person with a weapon soul in their spirit void is destined to become a powerful cultivator.
