A day and a night later.
The sun rose in the east, with rays of light illuminating all living beings, and the turquoise sea shimmering.
Li Feiyu withdrew the grand Formation and sent a message to Han Li, telling him to deactivate the Inverted Five Elements Formation. After the Formation disappeared, Li Feiyu stepped through the air, looking refreshed as he walked to the lake shore. Behind him followed Yaoer, wearing a mask, with a cool yet slightly charming demeanor.
"That fast?" Han Li thought Li Feiyu had withdrawn and then reactivated the Formation because of an issue with consolidating his Realm, so he asked this way.
But to Li Feiyu, it sounded entirely different; it was extremely sharp and piercing, full of mockery.
He said with an incredulous look, "It's been a day and a night, and that's still short?"
"A day and a night, that's not fast!"
Even a Core Formation stage Breakthrough and consolidation takes more time than that, let alone a Nascent Soul!
At this moment, Yaoer let out a bell-like giggle from the side, drawing their attention. She found their conversation very interesting, completely out of sync yet flowing so smoothly, and it didn't feel wrong at all.
Han Li glanced at Yaoer, then continued, "Is consolidating the Realm after a Nascent Soul Breakthrough really that quick?"
"If you're not fully recovered, don't push yourself. I can continue to be your Protector for a while longer."
Li Feiyu immediately felt a great embarrassment, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. So that's what he meant, how awkward!
"No need, my Realm is already stable."
"Is that so? Then why did the grand Formation disappear and then reappear earlier?"
"Is there anything special about a Nascent Soul Breakthrough? Tell me about it in detail."
Li Feiyu's face darkened. Tell him what? Tell him how he and Yaoer had been intimate inside?
Yaoer recalled the recent absurdity, and a blush inexplicably flashed across her face.
"This..." Li Feiyu paused, then said, "Let's talk about the details of the Nascent Soul Breakthrough later. First, I'll take you two to a place to get revenge!"
"Revenge?"
Li Feiyu smiled nonchalantly, saying, "Crimson Crow."
Crimson Crow let out a "ya ya" cry that echoed through the sky, then its body immediately grew larger.
After Li Feiyu jumped on, he said, "Your flying speed is too slow; come up together."
After they got on, Crimson Crow flapped its wings, transforming into a rainbow light that streaked across the clear blue sky, disappearing into the distant horizon in a blink of an eye.
...
It only took them half a month to reach the sky above the island where the Split Wind Beast was located.
Han Li couldn't help but praise, "This speed is something even ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators can't keep up with. Among Spirit Beasts of the same rank in the world, it should rank among the top twenty."
Looking down at the island below, Han Li changed the subject, "Is this it? You just said revenge, don't tell me you mean an eighth-grade Demon Beast? It seems you got the thousand dew grass from here last time."
"As expected of you, your guess is correct."
"But don't look at me with that gaze; I didn't suffer any loss last time."
Li Feiyu said, "Although I couldn't beat him, he couldn't easily deal with me either!"
"Since you didn't suffer a loss, what revenge are you seeking?"
"That eighth-grade demon Cultivator wanted to capture me and use me as a tool, to refine a special Magic Treasure for him using my pure wood-elemental spiritual power. To humiliate me like this, do you think I should seek revenge?"
Han Li was speechless. A wise man doesn't stand under a crumbling wall; if it were him, he wouldn't specifically come to their door.
Moreover, if he had just broken through, he would definitely go into seclusion for a few years to consolidate his Realm, and only after establishing himself in the Nascent Soul Stage would he go out and fight others.
However, Li Feiyu was different; his talent was special. As soon as he broke through, he was almost stable, and with Dual Cultivation, his Cultivation had progressed even further.
"Anyway, we can't help, so do as you please."
Li Feiyu smiled slightly, "I'll be right back!"
He rushed down, and with a flick of his sleeve, the huge rock at the entrance of the cave ahead was sent flying. A moment later, he flew out of the cave, followed closely by an extremely fast green-clad figure.
That green-clad figure was precisely the eighth-grade peak Split Wind Beast in a green robe. He was originally preparing to go into seclusion to break through to the second stage of shapeshifting, but he didn't expect someone to come and cause trouble before he even started, which filled him with anger.
He had been cultivating quietly, not wanting to get involved in the conflict between humans and sea creatures, but since humans had come to his door, he was naturally not to be trifled with!
Seeing the three people in mid-air, the Split Wind Beast's eyes immediately fixed on Li Feiyu.
"It's you, you dare to come again?"
"Do you think you can deal with me just by finding helpers?"
"One Early Stage Core Formation, one Middle Stage Core Formation." The Split Wind Beast's tone was extremely disdainful.
Li Feiyu said coldly, "They are just spectators; your opponent is naturally still me."
"In just a few months, how much progress could you have made? You're truly seeking death!"
At such close range, the Split Wind Beast's speed was almost instantaneous. He appeared in front of Li Feiyu, his fist, covered in green scales, carrying a Protective Aura strong enough to tear apart ordinary Magic Treasures, attacking Li Feiyu's head.
At this time, Han Li and Yaoer had already retreated dozens of feet away, watching the battle ahead with grave expressions.
Facing the Split Wind Beast's terrifying blow, Li Feiyu activated his Blazing Sun Dharma Body, his Physical Body strength surged, and then he condensed thick Profound Yellow Qi onto his palm, blocking and retreating simultaneously.
After deflecting part of the force, Li Feiyu truly withstood the Split Wind Beast's attack.
The Split Wind Beast retreated, its pupils suddenly constricting, "How is this possible? You blocked my attack with just your Physical Body and the Protective Aura from your earth-elemental Cultivation Technique?"
Li Feiyu, at this moment, activating his Blazing Sun Dharma Body, had a Physical Body as powerful as a sixth or seventh-grade Demon Beast, and the Profound Yellow Qi, as Li Feiyu entered the Nascent Soul Stage, had also transformed significantly, making its defensive power even stronger.
Of course, this was still in the air. If it were on the ground, it's estimated that the Split Wind Beast might not even be able to break through this defense with just Physical Body attacks.
After all, he himself was not skilled in strength. Perhaps a strength-type Spirit Beast like the Dragon clan or the Giant Ape clan could do it.
"No, you shouldn't be able to block my attack, unless you..."
The Split Wind Beast now began to take Li Feiyu seriously. Its vast Divine Sense extended, but it couldn't see through Li Feiyu, appearing somewhat blurry.
However, that was enough.
Last time he could see through, but this time he couldn't, which clearly indicated that the other party was already at the same level as him.
The Split Wind Beast's voice was incredibly solemn as he uttered, "Nascent Soul Stage!"
Li Feiyu laughed heartily, "I told you, I've noted this debt. You didn't expect me to advance to Nascent Soul so quickly and come to seek revenge, did you?"
The Split Wind Beast knew that Li Feiyu was no ordinary Cultivator; the fact that he could injure him at the late stage Core Formation and easily escape from his grasp showed that his Divine Ability was not to be underestimated. Now that he had entered the Nascent Soul Stage, he was definitely much stronger than an ordinary newly advanced Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.
It would be best not to fight this battle if possible!
The Split Wind Beast felt his situation was somewhat dangerous for the first time, and a desire to retreat arose in his heart.
"Fellow Daoist, what is your name? There was a misunderstanding last time. Since Fellow Daoist has already advanced to Nascent Soul, you are one of us. I am willing to offer compensation. I wonder if Fellow Daoist would be willing?"
"Offer compensation? Tell me about it?"
"If it satisfies me, it's not impossible to let it go!"
