Chapter 444: It's Just for Formality
Now that the immortal-like young man notices that his foundation, rather than his cultivation level is increasing, he thought that other than having abundant time with his lovers, there is nothing more that he would want than to stay here and cultivate to consistently improve his own cultivation.
Of course, he knew that this is just nigh impossible, and aside from that, there's definitely also going to be a limit to this effect of the Sky Compression Valley, because if there is not, then the Dao Seeking Mountains would've taken over the Eastern Continent already by building an army or genius cultivators with supreme foundation unrivaled by anyone else.
And obviously, such thing didn't happen in the past given the current state of the continent, hence why the immortal-like young man thought even more that there is a limit to this place's effectivity.
'Now I only need to figure out if I am still far away from that limit…' he thought to himself as he starts focusing on cultivating even more, making sure that he is still conscious enough to identify and mitigate all kinds of threat that might befall his lovers, his friends and his martial sisters.
[Detected the existence of a significant amount of suppressive property that is directly affecting the internal qi of the user]
[No problem detected, the suppressive property is being used to improve the quality of the user's internal qi]
After seeing the semi-transparent floating golden screen in front of him, Su Xiaotian then dismisses the notification as he already knows about this, returning his focus on the improvement happening with his nascent sources as they continue being influenced by the Sky Compression Valley's suppressive property, the thing happening to them directly affecting him as each of his ten cores starts having the Primordial Nihility Transcendent Qi improving in quality as well, turning even denser than it already is before.
While he continues cultivating, he also notices that the ladies are starting to break through their current cultivation realm one by one, starting with who is seemingly the most talented among the four of them despite all of them taking in the Trinity Cleansing Fruit, his half-sister.
The three other than her, the maidenly Hong Lian, the empress-like Hua Xian'er and the valiant-looking Astaria doesn't really fall behind too much though as they started breaking through just a few minutes behind Wu Xiaoyao, the four of them creating a phenomenon that makes the other participants wonder just who are these people monstrous enough to go ahead and breakthrough despite the intense suppression the Sky Compression Valley is doing to their bodies.
'Looks like their harvest in this place is better than mine…' watching the four of them break through the shackles of their current realm's the immortal-like young man couldn't help but smile in pride, as if a parent watching his children growing up impressively fast.
After just a few more hours, once the four ends their breakthrough and starts consolidating their current cultivation, multiple other auras start surging as they begin breaking through as well, these auras coming from three peerless ladies, the scholarly Dao Xuanyuan, the phoenix-like Feng Qing and the alluring Zi Yu'er, this breakthrough showing off their talents as well, which is still more than enough to suppress everyone else in their generation even if they fail to compare with the four ladies who broke through before them.
Of course, there will be difference as the four ladies who accompanies the immortal-like young man even before he arrives at the Dao Seeking Mountains are already extremely talented individuals who even consumed the Trinity Cleansing Fruit and used it the right way, not only rebuilding their foundations but also awakening their latent potential and drawing out even more talent within them, hence the difference when compared with the three ladies who are currently breaking through the next level.
'Maybe I should also give them the Trinity Cleansing Fruit as well…' thinking about this will looking at his two martial sisters and the other beauty the same age as them, a lady who decided to cast away the past to follow him, the immortal-like young man thought to himself, becoming more and more certain that he should do this as increasing their strength will only bring benefit to him and the people around him in the long run.
'I should also include both Auntie Jianxue and Auntie Xi in this, maybe after I grow strong enough to defend the forces they rule over…' thinking of also extending this plan of improving the foundations of these three ladies to their elders, specifically Dao Xuanyuan's master, Tang Jianxue and Feng Qing's mother, Feng Xi, the immortal-like young man decided to withhold this plan for now.
The reason being the fact that both these ladies are still the ruling existence of their respective forces, top-tier ones that can be said to be standing at the apex if forces such as the Heavenly Secret Tower and the Imperial Court is excluded, and should these two leaders were to suddenly lose their cultivation level, even if it is in exchange for their talent and foundation improving, making them far stronger when they return to the realm they are on before recultivation, they will definitely face a lot of problem both from outside, and inside the force the govern.
----------
As the immortal-like young man is thinking about improving the talents of his martial sisters and martial aunts, the two Half-step Celestial Realm experts discussing about him are now in the void with no one of the same cultivation as theirs capable of seeing through the deep space they are in, the reason for their secrecy being the fact that the young man they are observing is an unprecedented genius that will cause just either of the two things.
First, an immense age of prosperity for anyone who is related to him in a good light, as well as a large possibility of endless fame and glory.
The second and the worse scenario of the two is the total destruction of everything close to him, a possibility more likely than the rest as anyone else who hail from a different force than him will do anything in their power to completely control, or dispatch of him, the ones planning to do so more likely than not will stoop so low that they will get their hands on anything that will give them the leverage to totally suppress this monstrous young man, these leverages more likely than not, the people close to him.
"So, have you decided, Lady Xiang?" still looking on the Sky Compression Valley as they speak, his gaze directed towards the immortal-like young man, the ancient man, Tang Jianxue's grandmaster, asked with an unhurried look on his face, something in his tone indicating that he is already sure of what this regal mature beauty's answer will be, and he is just asking for the sake of formality, and also confirming it.
"Yes, I suppose I can do that, allow me to contact my sister to alter everyone else's memories about the Dao Enlightenment Competition" Dongfang Xiang replies as she already starts establishing contact with her sister, the Queen of the kingdom they live in, only for the ancient old man to stop her as he reminded her of something.
"No need to bother such an important figure of your great kingdom for a matter like this, we have someone, in fact, we have two people who are capable of performing memory alteration as well, this old man is just asking for formality"
