Li Su decided not to rush away from the Flying Immortal Sect. Instead, he checked on the situation. With less than four months until the trip to the Immortal Sect Ruins, the integration of the three sects in Hopeful Immortality Corner had nearly concluded, progressing smoothly.
Li Su’s curiosity deepened when he learned that the sect leader’s aunt was a Nascent Soul-stage cultivator, in the late Nascent Soul stage. He couldn’t help but wonder about the sect leader’s background and why she chose to stay here despite her powerful aunt.
Could it be that she is staying here for my sake? Li Su contemplated, stroking his chin and allowing his thoughts to wander.
As he pondered, he couldn’t help but imagine the remarkable figure of the sect leader’s aunt and her extraordinary beauty. Thoughts of the potential of her bearing his child crossed his mind.
I need to put in more effort, Li Su resolved. The cultivation level of the sect leader’s aunt made him realize that he might only have a chance if he reached the Nascent Soul stage, which motivated him even further.
Returning to the Li family, Silent Moon prepared to use the Dust Demon Pills to break the Demon’s Seal. It wouldn’t be a gradual process. She needed to remove it all at once. However, she had to make thorough preparations and be completely sure before attempting it, making the timeframe uncertain.
“I’ll go to the Northern Territory to send Ping and the others to the sect there. I’ll leave the household in your care,” Li Su entrusted Silent Moon with the responsibility.
Silent Moon’s response of “mm-hmm” conveyed her determination to protect the Li family, and Li Su set off with several of his descendants, including three of his sons and four of his descendants’ descendants. Although their spiritual roots weren’t exceptional, they showed genuine interest and some natural talent in formations and alchemy.
With limited time to teach them himself, Li Su decided to send them to the Falling Cloud Sect and the Danxin Sect. The Falling Cloud Sect owed him a favor for returning Yan Yi’s remains, ensuring that arrangement. As for the Danxin Sect, joining shouldn’t be an issue, but their progress would depend on their efforts in a different environment.
This arrangement suited Li Su’s plans well.
“He hoped that among his descendants, some remarkable individuals would emerge rather than sheltered individuals relying solely on his protection.
The multiple descendants who accompanied Li Su on their initial long journey were thrilled to be with him. However, they didn’t create a disturbance, as Li Su held significant prestige, and they respected and admired him. After a few days, Li Su arrived at the Falling Cloud Sect.
“Haha, Li Dao Friend’s arrival has truly brightened up the Falling Cloud Sect,” the sect leader of the Falling Cloud Sect personally came out to greet him. “Li Dao Friend’s accomplishments have spread throughout the Northern Territory in the past two months. You’ve become quite a legend here in our Northern Territory.”
Accomplishments spreading throughout the Northern Territory? Li Su was unaware of this, so he inquired and learned the truth. Some Nascent Soul cultivators were curious about the Flying Immortal Sect and Li Su, so they crossed the Mangkang Mountains and visited the Hopeful Immortality Corner to learn about Li Su’s achievements. As a result, a wealth of information about Li Su’s deeds had been collected.
This information had caused quite a sensation within the Immortal City, which was home to many cultivators. Once the word got out, it was like spreading the news throughout half of the Northern Territory. Even the sect leader of the Falling Cloud Sect was aware of these events now.
Li Su’s achievement of reaching the Nascent Soul stage at the age of 209 became widely known throughout the Northern Territory. In the Immortal City, Li Su’s accomplishments caused a massive sensation. A Nascent Soul stage cultivator at the age of 209! This was truly astonishing and unprecedented. It was incredibly young for such an attainment. At this age, even in the Northern Territory with its denser spiritual energy, better resources, and more opportunities, many cultivators had only recently entered the Golden Core stage. Those who hadn’t were either already deceased or on their way to death’s door with little lifespan remaining.
In the Northern Territory, many took five or six hundred years or even longer to reach the Nascent Soul stage. Li Su’s achievement at the age of 209 was nothing short of astounding. Moreover, Li Su’s other achievements have also become widely known. These included his Foundation Establishment at the age of one hundred, his tendency to take concubines (resulting in many maidservants), and his fondness for having children. He had enough descendants to form a small army. These contrasting aspects of his life sparked significant discussions among Northern Territory cultivators. Some even suspected Li Su had used unconventional methods, such as cultivating forbidden techniques like soul absorption, to achieve such rapid growth. However, this suspicion was later clarified in subsequent news.
About two weeks ago, in response to the doubts raised by many cultivators, the Water Moon Sect’s sect leader, Liu Xinshui, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator and a renowned figure in the Northern Territory, personally came to the Immortal City to clarify and provide evidence. Her presence effectively dispelled the doubts of Northern Territory cultivators.
“I didn’t expect you to persuade Liu Xinshui to step in. Your influence is truly impressive,” remarked the Falling Cloud Sect’s sect leader, expressing admiration and suggesting a connection between Li Su and Liu Xinshui. Li Su believed that Liu Xinshui’s intervention was mainly due to his precious daughter, as he was about to entrust his daughter, who possessed a third-grade spiritual root, to her. However, this involvement could also lead to misunderstandings, as evidenced by the Falling Cloud Sect’s sect leader.
Li Su refrained from explaining, recognizing that clarifying might complicate matters further.
“So, does this mean that the Falling Cloud Sect is unaware of the Grand Yan Sword Formation?” Li Su inquired.
