Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

“Congratulations, Sect Leader, on achieving the Nascent Soul stage. May you now enjoy endless skies and a ten thousand-year life.”

Within the Flying Immortal Sect, the elders offered their congratulations. The sect leader’s attainment of the Nascent Soul stage was a cause for great jubilation for the entire sect.

With the looming threat of the Demon Sect, despite Li Su’s success in eliminating their formidable members this time, it was certain that the next wave of demonic cultivators from the Demon Sect would be even more formidable.

Especially the troublesome Saintess of the Hidden Moon. Her arrival would undoubtedly lead to a fierce battle. In this context, the sect leader’s breakthrough became exceptionally crucial.

Having a Nascent Soul cultivator on their side and Li Su’s formidable strength significantly alleviated the pressure from the Demon Sect. Li Su’s gaze remained fixed on the sect leader among the crowd. The sect leader’s gaze scanned the elders and numerous disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect, finally settling on Li Su.

At this moment, she sensed something unusual about him. There was something off about Li Su’s aura. Even though he didn’t actively release his aura, he didn’t conceal it either, making it impossible to escape the notice of someone in the Nascent Soul stage.

This aura was nothing like that of a mid-Golden Core cultivator. It carried the genuine presence of a late-Golden Core stage cultivator. No, it was even more potent than a cultivator who had just entered the late-Golden Core stage by seven layers.

The sect leader found it hard to believe, filled with doubt. However, she didn’t show any reaction for the time being. After some time, the disciples dispersed, leaving only the elders behind. The sect leader then inquired, “Have there been any recent developments from the Demon Sect?”

Suppressing her curiosity, the sect leader asked again, “Have there been any sightings of demonic cultivators from the Demon Sect?”

Elder Huang explained the situation, and as the sect leader listened, her expression gradually changed. Her gaze once again fell upon Li Su. So, Li Su handled the initial wave of demonic cultivators from the Demon Sect! The sect leader recalled Li Su’s use of the killing formation and wasn’t overly surprised.

“It’s thanks to Elder Li breaking through to the eighth layer of the Golden Core and employing a secret technique to capture all those demonic cultivators,” Elder Huang clarified.

One sentence from Elder Huang made the sect leader restless. “Eighth layer of the Golden Core!”

The sect leader had sensed that something was amiss all along. Therefore, she hadn’t inquired earlier, especially with many people around. Now, hearing Elder Huang’s words, she couldn’t restrain herself any longer.

“Li Su, have you reached the eighth layer of the Golden Core?”

The sect leader questioned, and Li Su nodded, saying, “Yes, Sect Leader, I recently achieved this breakthrough.”

The sect leader took a deep breath. During her years in seclusion, Li Su had advanced to the eighth layer of the Golden Core!

“Sect Leader, I’ve also gathered some information about the Saintess of the Hidden Moon,” Li Su continued and proceeded to share his information about the Saintess.

This information would have caused significant apprehension in the past, considering that the Saintess was in the early Nascent Soul stage with formidable abilities, numerous techniques, and potent secret arts.

However, the people present didn’t seem too anxious at this moment. The sect leader also appeared composed. Strength was the key; now she was also a Nascent Soul powerhouse. Of course, the Saintess had reached the Nascent Soul stage earlier and possessed more techniques and treasures. However, Li Su had a formidable killing formation.

The sect leader suddenly realized that, unknowingly, Li Su had grown to the point where he could be her pillar of support. Thinking about the young man who had been nothing more than a mortal, impulsive and audacious, over a hundred years ago, the sect leader couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia.

For some reason, she was reminded of the first time she had met Li Su over a hundred years ago. In her eyes, an inexplicable shyness seemed to emerge. All the disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect knew that Li Su owed a great debt of gratitude to the sect leader.

However, aside from Li Su and the sect leader, no one knew the nature of this debt. After all, when Li Su first encountered the sect leader over a hundred years ago, she was already at the Golden Core stage, while he was just a mortal who had recently entered this world.

For over a hundred years, Li Su had never divulged how he had helped the sect leader during their initial encounter.  At that time, he had been nothing more than a recent arrival from another realm, while the sect leader was already an accomplished Golden Core cultivator.

The question remained: How could a mortal have aided a Golden Core cultivator?

This matter was known only to Li Su and the sect leader.  The truth was that over a hundred years ago, while the sect leader was cultivating in the rear mountain, she encountered an unusual occurrence.

She had developed a rare inner turmoil, similar to a martial cultivator experiencing a deviation in their cultivation. At that time, while the sect leader was in seclusion and under the influence of this inner turmoil, she had come close to losing all her cultivation.  During this critical moment, Li Su, who had recently crossed over into their world, happened to encounter her.

Even though the sect leader struggled fiercely against her inner turmoil, her condition was dire.  Furthermore, at that time, her body temperature had risen excessively due to the turmoil in her true essence, and the fluctuating energy had torn apart her clothing.

Li Su, who had never expected such a situation, likened it to the experience of being hit by a car while peacefully crossing the street, only to suddenly find a stunning beauty standing before him, completely nude.

Li Su instinctively thought this was just a hallucination before his death.  At that time, he felt like he was on the brink of death.

If it was indeed a hallucination, then encountering such a beautiful woman he had never seen in his entire life and getting a kiss before dying wouldn’t be too bad. So, during that moment, driven by madness, Li Su rushed forward, embraced the sect leader, and kissed her.

Under normal circumstances, he would never have gotten so close to a Golden Core cultivator. But during that moment, it happened without him even realizing it.

Little did he know that his actions helped the sect leader. Her proximity allowed her to regain control and eliminate her inner turmoil in one fell swoop.  Naturally, there were no further developments.

When she regained her senses, she found Li Su sitting in a daze, completely bewildered.  Li Su was truly at a loss during that time.  Fortunately, the sect leader hadn’t used much of her spiritual energy then. Otherwise, Li Su would have died again right after crossing over. When Li Su finally regained his senses, the sect leader had returned to her normal state.

“Your spiritual roots are quite poor, but you helped me. I can make an exception and allow you to enter the Flying Immortal Sect. You can stay here for as long as you like,” she had told him. “Don’t mention what just happened to anyone.”

Li Su still remembered those words from the sect leader after he had snapped out of his daze.  At that time, the sect leader had emanated an icy aura, appearing as the quintessential cold and aloof beauty.

As Li Su gradually adapted to having crossed over and acquired his “golden finger,” he also accepted the situation. The matter between him and the sect leader had become a shared secret.

Li Su never revealed it to anyone. However, that incident where he had embraced and kissed the sect leader had left an indelible mark on both of them.

Li Su couldn’t help but think about the sect leader whenever he saw her, and he often fantasized about having children with her.

In the past, he knew such thoughts were nothing more than dreams.

Now, though…

In the short term, it was likely still just a dream.  However, Li Su could see a glimmer of hope.
