Chapter 4141 — The Struggle Over the Deputy Island Lordship
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 3
Besides, being able to observe someone condensing a Nascent Soul at such close range—especially a legendary expert like Di Xingdao—was an exceedingly rare experience and source of insight for anyone. When Wei Zhao's own turn came in the future, he would be far more composed.
Condensing a Nascent Soul was countless times more difficult than forming a Golden Core. Throughout the ages, untold numbers of experts had become stuck at this threshold. No matter how thorough their preparations, the success rate remained appallingly low.
Di Xingdao, however, had successfully condensed a Nascent Soul once before. Strictly speaking, this time he was merely restoring his Nascent Soul, which made the process considerably less difficult. With Wei Zhao protecting him and bearing witness, he ultimately reunited his Nascent Soul without incident and succeeded in the end!
After that, Di Xingdao did not choose to leave seclusion immediately. Instead, he decided to take advantage of the momentum and restore himself to the peak of his strength in one stroke.
Having crossed the perilous threshold of restoring his Nascent Soul, Di Xingdao's profound foundation left no remaining bottleneck capable of blocking his path. Merely a few days later, he successfully emerged from seclusion—and his strength had astonishingly returned to the Nascent Soul Grand Perfection realm, the state he had once attained at his peak!
Now that he once again possessed the formidable strength to stand among the very strongest on Yunjie Island, Di Xingdao naturally felt entirely confident. Given his forthright nature, there was no reason for him to continue swallowing the humiliation he had suffered last time. Without another word, he immediately headed once more for the Island Lord Pavilion.
The Island Lord Pavilion stood atop Zhongding Mountain. As its name suggested, it was a place accessible only to the island lords. On Central Island, the Island Lord Pavilion had always consisted of five people: one island lord and four deputy island lords.
Yet when Di Xingdao reappeared at the Island Lord Pavilion this time, the scene was exactly the same as before. The Central Island Lord still cited his lengthy absence as a reason to remain noncommittal about restoring his status as a deputy island lord, while the other three deputy island lords likewise produced various excuses and artfully evaded the matter.
"Gentlemen, in all these years, I dare say I have never treated any of you unfairly. Nor have I ever offended you. So why insist on making trouble for me over something that is only right and proper? What benefit could it possibly bring you?" Di Xingdao sneered coldly at the four island lords.
Then, without waiting for the four men to speak, Di Xingdao released the full force of his Nascent Soul Grand Perfection aura without the slightest restraint.
Everyone's expression changed at once. When they had first learned that Di Xingdao's injuries had suddenly recovered, they had already been astonished enough. They had assumed that no matter how formidable he was, it would take him at least several months to regain his full strength. No one had expected him to accomplish it in a mere few days!
Everyone present except Di Xingdao was an expert of the Profound Ascension stage. If they had been facing any other Nascent Soul Grand Perfection expert, they would not have taken him seriously. Di Xingdao, however, was different. He absolutely could not be judged by ordinary standards.
The number of Profound Ascension experts who had died by his hand in the past was far from one or two. To others, instantly killing an opponent above one's level was a daunting challenge; for Di Xingdao, it was an everyday occurrence. No one could afford to dismiss him simply because his cultivation level appeared lower on paper.
