Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 448: Li Yan abdicates and ascends to Nascent Soul to go to his fiefdom.

Chapter 448: 448: Li Yan abdicates and ascends to Nascent Soul to go to his fiefdom.

Pangu Base.

All mid-level and above officers were basically present at this promotion ceremony.

Li Yan, the Hall Master and head of the Pangu department, was to step down today.

His term of duty had come to an end, and though he could have continued on account of his age,

he had decided to comply with the agreement he had made with Gu Feng.

He chose to hand over his duties to Long Chao.

Amid the applause of all the soldiers in the department and from the 48 Peak Masters, Long Chao embraced Li Yan and said with envy, "You can’t wait to leave, can you?"

Li Yan flashed a grin, "I’m eager to select the territory that belongs to me. A whole family with over a hundred mouths is relying on me for food, so I’ll leave this place in your hands."

Long Chao gave a wry smile.

Once upon a time, the position of Hall Master of the Dragon Nation on Earth paled in comparison to the allure of the vast starry oceans.

Li Yan also shook hands with Cheng Gong beside him, "Thanks for your efforts, both of you. I’ll be going ahead. If you have the opportunity in the future, come visit my territory."

Cheng Gong was immensely envious as well.

After Long Chao finishes his four years, and he himself another four, it might be eight years before it was his turn to venture into the vast starry oceans.

Zhan Yufen, Li Yan’s wife, represented the family members in attendance at the ceremony, clapping enthusiastically in the family section, not at all feeling a sense of loss due to Li Yan’s departure from the Pangu stage.

On the contrary, the Li and Zhan families and their entire circle of friends and relatives were eagerly waiting for Li Yan to become the next Nascent Soul expert to own his own star system territory.

Simply having a territory, and earning from the mineral resources of a single planet, would be enough to provide for descendants on Earth generation after generation, solving their most fundamental worries for the future.

More importantly, the cultivation resources existing within the star system would allow the major families following him to squeeze into the mainstream of the cultivation world.

The 48 Peak Masters and those mid-level soldier disciples wouldn’t disdain Li Yan for stepping down, for everyone had received the internal news that Li Yan would become a Star System Lord of a certain system.

In the future, once they retired from the military, choosing to develop in one of the Lord Star Systems was the optimal choice.

So making a good impression now could mean a development opportunity later.

At this promotion ceremony, the 48 Peak Masters also successfully broke through the school level and advanced to the rank of general.

At the end of the ceremony, to the surprise of the soldiers, the newly promoted department head Long Chao informed everyone not to leave just yet.

Then he told them that Li Yan would ascend to Nascent Soul!

The news instantly set the atmosphere ablaze.

Every soldier was excited beyond belief.

After all, that was a Nascent Soul breakthrough, which would be accompanied by heaven’s testament of radiant light, a spectacle.

It has always been said that to witness someone’s Nascent Soul breakthrough is to receive enlightenment from the domain’s magnetic field generated by their birth, thereby enhancing one’s own strength!

Nobody expected they would have the fortune to witness this moment today.

This could also be considered a boon given back to the soldiers of the department by Li Yan.

As for who could gain enlightenment and improvement from this spectacle, it would depend on one’s own perception and talent.

"Now, everyone is to, clear the chairs, and prepare to sit cross-legged," Long Chao instructed everyone, including the 48 Peak Masters, who meticulously moved the temporary chairs behind them and, without much ado, simply sat down on the ground cross-legged.

They then prepared to look forward.

On a distant stage, Li Yan also sat cross-legged, taking out a Nascent Soul Pill given to him by Gu Feng from his bag.

The Elixir, upon emergence, emitted a faint colorful glow.

This was the first time the 48 Peak Masters had seen what a Nascent Soul Pill looked like.

Compared to pills used in the Core Formation breakthrough, this radiance was even more splendid and eye-catching, leaving them dazzled and captivated.

Core Formation might be strong, but the Nascent Soul Stage was truly a dividing line in a cultivator’s journey!

A super-powerful being capable of ascending to the fourth dimension, possessing a domain of higher ascension, truly transcending the range of physical attacks on Earth!

After swallowing a Nascent Soul Pill, Li Yan closed his eyes and began to meditate.

All the soldiers witnessing from a distance were watching intently.

As time ticked away, they noticed a breeze blowing through.

Clouds in the sky began to roll and gather above Li Yan’s head.

Then, a beam of light descended from the heavens, enveloping Li Yan.

In the pavilion where Gu Feng was located, he could also see this spectacle through the Compass.

Every subtle expression of Li Yan and the dream world he was experiencing were visible to Gu Feng.

Just as when his grandfather and the others ascended to the Nascent Soul stage, Gu Feng didn’t actually need to be there in person. By covering the area with his Divine Sense, he was able to open up a god-like perspective, remotely guiding Li Yan if he became lost or confused during the enlightenment.

Li Yan’s talent for cultivation was actually not high, and the process of absorbing the Nascent Soul Pill to ascend was not easy.

The light that covered him from the heavens was actually provided by Gu Feng to stabilize his mind and protect him.

All the soldiers on the scene waited patiently.

After more than two hours, Li Yan successfully completed the Infant Binding transformation.

The Golden Core within him shattered, and a Daoist Infant formed.

A beam of light shot from his forehead, piercing through the heavens.

Immediately after, a domain magnetic field suddenly spread out from around Li Yan.

This was the spatial ascension Law.

It was also the range of his Divine Sense.

As the range expanded, covering all the soldiers, they began to comprehend the profundity of this high-dimensional spatial Law.

Seeing this, Gu Feng basically confirmed Li Yan had successfully formed his Nascent Soul, and his gaze and vision withdrew from the Compass.

Li Yan, having successfully performed Infant Binding, triggered a Prohibition Law set by Gu Feng. He was drawn by the light and sent beyond Earth.

From now on, he could return to Earth, but due to the prohibition targeted against him, his strength would automatically be weakened to the Middle-stage of Core Formation upon arrival.

"Congratulations, Commander, on the successful Infant Binding. We bid farewell to Lord Li."

Those soldiers who had finished their comprehensions or had not reached an epiphany, all stood up and saluted, sending off Li Yan.

Li Yan was sent to the moonbase Teleportation Array.

There, staff from the Cosmic Transmission company should have been responsible for sending him to the Star System of his choice, but today, Jack Ma was waiting there in person.

He personally pressed the button to transmit Li Yan to the designated star territory.

This was the first time Li Yan was going to see his own territory, and in his joy, he tossed Jack Ma a bag of Spirit Stones.

Jack Ma immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Li."

Spirit Stones were very scarce now.

As more and more Cultivators joined the major families to break through Foundation Establishment and aimed for Core Formation, everyone hoarded Spirit Stones like mad.

After all, to break through Foundation Establishment, one first needed to raise their strength to the Qi Refining Late Stage.

It was the same with Core Formation, where one must first reach the Late-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Wouldn’t that require a vast number of Spirit Stones to breach these smaller realms?

This demand caused the price of low-grade Spirit Stones to spike from 20 million RMB per stone to 30 million, and many families were utilizing connections to send their Foundation Establishment Experts to various Nascent Soul Lord Star Systems to mine as labor.

They hoped to earn more Spirit Stones to bring back, as the families simply couldn’t keep up with the demand otherwise.

Li Yan, having ascended to the status of Lord the next day, had his family’s doorstep crowded by the major families of the world.

They brought their families’ PPT portfolios to recommend themselves, hoping they could recruit their family members to mine for Li Yan’s territory!
