“He’s advancing so rapidly. I wonder if he’ll encounter a bottleneck when attempting to reach Nascent Divinity. Even the most gifted individuals can become stuck at a bottleneck for hundreds of years,” the sect leader’s aunt quietly observed Li Su.

Despite Li Su’s foundation building, the sect leader had witnessed his multiple triumphs over the past hundred-plus years and seemed to have grown accustomed to it. Yet, their eyes still had a sense of astonishment, as Li Su’s progress had been swift.

With Li Su’s boat leading, several flying boats soared into the sky and raced at full speed towards the Bi Luo Sect.

“There’s an extensive amount of water!”

As they neared the Bi Luo Sect, one of the Nascent Souls noticed that the area within a radius of thousands of miles around the Bi Luo Sect had been submerged. The water reached heights of ten thousand feet and had been contained, not spilling beyond.

“This is the Sea Clan’s grand formation. They’ve created a favorable battleground for themselves. If we can’t break the formation and charge in, our combat effectiveness inside will be somewhat hindered.”

“Leader of the Falling Cloud Sect, can you dismantle this formation?”

Many Nascent Souls turned to the leader of the Falling Cloud Sect.

The Falling Cloud Sect leader replied, “With Li here, breaking this formation shouldn’t be an issue. The real problem is that it will be problematic even after breaking it. There’s so much water. Once it spreads, several nearby nations will be affected.”

“A thousand miles of water, ten thousand feet deep. How did they gather such a vast amount?”

“It’s surely some kind of treasure, like a Water Spirit Pearl, capable of storing an enormous volume of water.”

“Handling this much water is indeed troublesome.”

The Nascent Souls grew increasingly uneasy as they faced the formidable Sea Clan’s formation. Even if they managed to break through, a significant problem loomed. The entire region within a thousand miles was submerged in water, with a depth equal to three Mariana Trenches, giving it an immense volume. This formed a circle with a 1000-kilometer diameter, covering an area of 785,000 square kilometers.

The water’s depth reached 33 kilometers, similar to submerging provinces like Li Su’s hometown beneath 33 kilometers. The water’s volume was staggering at 25.905 billion cubic kilometers, equivalent to over two hundred quintillion cubic meters. To put it in perspective, the Yangtze River discharged about 960 billion cubic meters of water into the sea each year. The water here equated to the Yangtze River flowing continuously for over twenty trillion years.

Once the formation was breached, this massive body of water would rush in all directions, devastating the surrounding secular nations. The most pressing concern was that the Nascent Souls would have no time to manage this overwhelming influx of water. This could lead to catastrophic casualties, potentially affecting hundreds of millions or even billions of people in the neighboring secular nations. Despite the clear distinction between cultivators and ordinary mortals, with the latter being significantly weaker in the face of Nascent Souls, it was an unthinkable scenario for the Nascent Souls to cause such massive casualties.

“Fellow Taoist Li, do you have a solution?” inquired the Purple Gold Sect’s leader, as the Sea Clan’s formation proved an immense challenge. All eyes turned to Li Su, who gazed at the ten-thousand-foot-high formation for several moments before responding, “Leave it to me.”

Li Su then turned to Liu Xinshui and asked, “Xinshui, how much water can a Sunflower Water Pearl absorb at most?” Liu Xinshui replied, “My husband, a Sunflower Water Pearl can absorb the water from up to ten Water Moon Lakes.”

Li Su now had a rough idea. He distributed array flags and instructions to set up an array to the Lord of the Falling Cloud Sect, who was tasked with the opposite side. Li Su urgently conveyed, “Everyone, please wait for me. Lord of the Falling Cloud Sect, I would trouble you to go to the other side. Here are the methods and positions for setting up the array. Make sure to finish it within five hours.” The Lord of the Falling Cloud Sect eagerly accepted the task. 𝓯𝑟𝓮ℯ𝘸ℯ𝘣𝑛ℴ𝘷ℯ𝓵.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Li Su swiftly placed numerous array flags, establishing an array that resembled the Sumeru Array but focused on spatial manipulation. It allowed the exterior of an object to appear normal while the interior space was much larger, similar to a storage bag. Li Su implemented it as an array using specialized and general-purpose array flags. His speed was impressive, and he only needed a few Sumeru Arrays, specialized water-diverting arrays, and restrictive seals.

After more than four hours, everything was ready. Li Su recognized the urgency and declared, “Heartwater, Heartmoon, you two will manage the water outside. These Sunflower Water Pearls are for you, mainly to handle the overflowing water.” Li Su provided over a dozen Sunflower Water Pearls to the two sisters, explaining that these pearls could also be used to absorb water.

“Understood!” the two sisters nodded firmly. Li Su initiated the operation by activating the surrounding Sumeru Arrays. Then, he cast spells to break the Sea Clan’s grand formation. Seawater gushed out as the formation gave way, guided by Li Su’s water-diverting arrays into the Sumeru Arrays. He urged, “Charge in together!” and led the way inside.

The commotion attracted the attention of the Sea Clan forces attacking the Bi Luo Sect’s grand formation. One Sea Clan member, with a human upper body covered in scales and a tail, moved towards Li Su swiftly but quickly retreated after a fierce collision.

“Boom!”

The Sea Clan member was sent flying and crashed heavily into the Bi Luo Sect’s grand formation, spitting out blood upon impact.
