Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

“The Patriarch has attained the Nascent Soul stage.”

“That’s fantastic.”

“Even the thunder from the heavens can’t harm Patriarch Li from the Li family. Patriarch Li is truly remarkable.”

“Nascent Soul! I never thought I would witness the Nascent Soul stage in my lifetime. I hope to revel in the joy and advance to the Foundation Establishment stage!”

“…”

At this moment, there was an animated atmosphere around the Li family, with conversations and excitement filling the air.

In the high skies of the rear mountain, Li Su was experiencing the power he gained after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

The Nascent Soul stage represented strength, no matter where one was. It was a significant milestone. The most evident change was that his true essence had become even purer, and his life force was boundless. This allowed Li Su to sense his extended lifespan.

The current Li Su had a lifespan that had exceeded ten thousand years. His top-tier Nascent Soul, achieved through the One-Rank Golden Core, already had a longer lifespan than a regular Nascent Soul.

Li Su gained even more lifespan from the rewards he had received. Li Su was genuinely a “ten thousand years, ten million years” existence.

A lifespan of ten thousand years. Li Su was only two hundred and nine years old!

For regular humans, this was already considered quite old. But when compared to a ten-thousand-year lifespan, Li Su’s life had just begun. He had infinite possibilities ahead of him.

Of course, if it were someone with a different sixth-grade spiritual root, even if they were to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and potentially gain a ten-thousand-year lifespan, they might still feel frustrated.

This was because reaching the Nascent Soul stage was already extremely difficult for those with sixth-grade spiritual roots, and progressing further from there was even more challenging.

Even if he piled up time, it might not be enough to progress beyond the middle Nascent Soul stage over thousands of years. The foundation of a sixth-grade spiritual root was not conducive to breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. The bottleneck was too daunting.

Of course, this was just a hypothetical scenario. There were indeed cases of Nascent Souls formed by those with sixth-grade spiritual roots, but they were rare.

There were Nascent Souls formed by eighth-grade and even ninth-grade spiritual roots, such as some demonic cultivators known by Mystic Moon, the Holy Maiden.

How many people had good spiritual roots among demonic cultivators?

Mystic Moon, the Holy Maiden, was indeed an exception. She not only possessed a unique physique but also had decent spiritual roots. In their pursuit of power through any means necessary, many demonic cultivators could indeed defy fate to some extent.

For instance, with his aptitude, a cultivator with a surname like Bai would have had difficulty reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. However, if he hadn’t encountered Li Su and continued his cultivation without interruption, he might have advanced to the later stages of the Golden Core realm by now.

After sensing the changes in his body, Li Su gathered all his strength and took a step forward.

“Mentor.”

He approached the Sect Master.

The Sect Master concealed her presence and restrained her aura to avoid disturbing Li Su.

When she saw him, her eyes revealed admiration. She hadn’t expected it. Li Su had truly achieved the Nascent Soul stage so quickly!

Now, at only two hundred and nine years old, he had reached the Nascent Soul stage. This completely confirmed her suspicions.

Li Su had a rare spiritual root, even rarer than a One-Rank Heaven Spirit Root. The reason he took a hundred years to reach the Foundation Establishment was that he had spent too much time on refining and alchemy. Naturally, alongside her amazement at Li Su’s rapid progress, the Sect Master also felt happiness for him.

“I didn’t expect you to reach the Nascent Soul stage so quickly. Congratulations, Li Su,” the Sect Master sincerely said.

While it seemed Li Su might surpass her in no time, she was genuinely pleased for him.

“Mentor, after a while, I plan to go to the opposite side of the Mangkang Mountain to buy some herbs and return the two seniors’ remains. Do you happen to know where I can find better herbs?” Li Su asked.

After achieving the Nascent Soul stage, Li Su didn’t need to consolidate his cultivation. So, he intended to spend some time, first, unlocking the Heavenly Demon Seal from Mystic Moon, which required very specific elixirs that she had only heard of by name. Second, he fulfills his promise when obtaining the Great Yan Sword Formation by returning the two sets of remains from the underground killing formation.

To unlock the Heavenly Demon Seal, he required extremely rare elixirs. Mystic Moon knew the names of these elixirs and had a general idea of the required herbs but lacked the complete recipe. These herbs couldn’t be found in the three major sect regions. Mystic Moon had long been planning to unlock the seal and had secretly planted several of these herbs in a hidden location.

For the other tasks, Li Su planned to cross Mangkang Mountain to search for what he needed. He intended to purchase materials for refining the Great Yan Sword and also hoped to visit the Falling Cloud Sect to inquire if he could find the second half of the Great Yan Sword Formation. There was still much to do.

“I’m planning to go as well. How about this: once your celebration is over, take some time to consolidate your cultivation. When you feel ready, we can go together,” the Sect Master suggested.

“Sure, Mentor,” Li Su readily agreed. He was more than willing to go with the Sect Master.

“Speaking of which, now that I’ve reached the Nascent Soul stage, what about the restrictions placed on Mystic Moon, the Holy Maiden?” Li Su brought up the matter again.
