Chapter 377
“Hmm?”
In the outer palace, Lord Feng Tian made a soft sound of surprise. The reason for this quiet exclamation was that she sensed a disturbance.
The commotion caused by constructing the immortal foundation was quite distinct. Typically, cultivators at the Refinement stage and above could perceive this disruption.
When the Sect Master was building her immortal foundation, the Sect Master of the Dieyun Peak and the leaders of two second-grade immortal sects in the Canglan Realm had noticed.
“Is this someone constructing their immortal foundation?”
Lord Feng Tian couldn’t help but ponder after feeling the disturbance.
Having lived for so many years, she had encountered other immortal roots. The other party had also built their immortal foundation during the Nascent Divinity stage.
For those at the Refinement stage and above, as long as they were knowledgeable, it wasn’t difficult to discern this kind of disturbance. Lord Feng Tian quickly sensed the source of this disturbance. The disturbance originated from the Wolong Mountain!
She soared into the sky, heading towards the direction of the disturbance. Soon, she found the source of the disturbance. There, in the core area of Wolong Mountain, protected by a grand formation that prevented casual visitors from entering, she saw Li Su.
“Is it really someone from the Li family?”
Lord Feng Tian couldn’t help but wonder.
Judging by the current situation, the one causing this disturbance had to be someone from the Li family.
Lord Feng Tian wasn’t sure who it could be.
She didn’t know if it was one of Li Su’s consorts or his offspring, but witnessing someone from the Li family building their foundation was surprising.
It was important to note that only those with Immortal Spirit Roots could build their foundation, which could only be undertaken during the Transformation to Divinity.
The Xuantian Academy also possessed sacred instruments to detect the birth of spiritual roots. In numerous realms, it could be detected immediately wherever a spiritual root emerged.
Yet, a fish slipped through the net in Li Su’s household. This made Lord Feng Tian feel that Li Su must have used some means to block monitoring these sacred artifacts.
She became even more certain of Li Su’s identity as a reincarnated immortal and felt that Li Su must have been immensely powerful before his reincarnation.
“I didn’t expect that among his descendants, there would also be someone with a spiritual root, and he managed to conceal it from fate,” another representative from a sacred site said.
This was a Refinement Void disciple from the Three Sacred Sect. Not only did they arrive, but soon, representatives from other sacred sites also started arriving one after another.
These Refinement Void cultivators often barely managed to reach that level. With limited growth potential, they frequently undertake more tasks to obtain better resources.
The Li family members, observing these Refinement Void cultivators who were on the verge of building their Core, all wore expressions of surprise on their faces.
Over the years, within Su City, one could frequently witness beams of light spanning thousands or even tens of thousands of miles.
Almost every one or two years, someone would undergo the tribulation of thunder, continuously breaking through their cultivation realms. This added a layer of curiosity about the Li family and Li Su.
The rapid growth of the Li family members had, at times, taken them by surprise. Now, another Immortal Spirit Root had unexpectedly emerged!
The Li family had become even more mysterious in their eyes. Li Tao Yao successfully built her Core without any disturbances. Li Su personally guarded her, and Lord Feng Tian and other Refinement Void cultivators from different sacred places also appeared.
In the current Northern Territory, even if there were still individuals lurking from the demonic sects, they didn’t dare to show themselves. “Husband, I did it!” Li Tao Yao, filled with joy after successfully establishing her Core, exclaimed. “Tao Yao, you go inside first,” Li Su said. Tao Yao quietly returned to the Li family residence. Li Su then approached Lord Feng Tian and the others.
“Li Su, I didn’t expect another Immortal Spirit Root in your family. Congratulations,” said Lord Feng Tian. People from other sacred places also chimed in. Having an Immortal Spirit Root in the family was indeed a joyful occasion. They didn’t inquire too much, as Li Su obviously didn’t want to reveal too many details. Judging by the looks of it, they assumed it was Li Su’s descendant.
Soon, the various sacred places dispatched Nascent Soul experts to visit. They had one common goal—they wanted Li Su to send the Immortal Spirit Root’s descendants to their respective sacred places for cultivation. The conditions they offered were exceptionally favorable. Seeing that the sacred places had been misunderstood, Li Su thought briefly but didn’t explain too much.
He simply stated that he was personally planning to cultivate the descendants and used this as a way to refuse the various sacred places. The sacred places had no choice but to give up. Meanwhile, the Demon Saint Palace had also received the news. Mystic Moon (You Yue) passed the message to Li Su, indicating that the Demon Saint Palace might send even more powerful witches to deal with him. Those building their Core were now considered Li Su’s descendants.
The Demon Saint Palace’s information didn’t come from those few witches. The seven witches who had given birth had already experienced a breakdown. Only two Refinement Void-level witches, Murong Xue and Liu Feng’er, could perceive the disturbances related to building the Core.
These two witches had already borne ten children each for Li Su. They were beginning to experience the backlash of the emotional ties, and Li Su had left a deep impression in their hearts. They probably wouldn’t leak information if they sensed any disturbances and were uncertain about the situation. Moreover, if there were any anomalies with them, Li Su would have known about it long ago.
In the current Northern Territory, many demonic cultivators were probably lurking in the shadows. However, Li Su deliberately paid a visit to Murong Xue to confirm this. “Husband, I, I have something to tell you…” as soon as Li Su arrived, Murong Xue started to stammer. Li Su looked at her. “What’s wrong, Xue’er?”
After making up her mind, Murong Xue was prepared to speak everything in one breath. However, before she could finish, she sensed a warning sign. If she continued speaking, she would be in trouble. As the Saintess of the Demon Saint Palace was sent to deal with Li Su, it was inconceivable that the Demon Saint Palace wouldn’t have set up some safeguards to prevent the witches from being controlled by the emotional ties and revealing their mission to Li Su.
Therefore, she couldn’t speak. Seeing Li Su’s gaze seemingly disappointed, Murong Xue hurriedly said, “Husband, I can’t bring myself to say it. If I do, my soul will be completely lost.”
“I know,” Li Su finally spoke.
“I knew the moment you arrived,” he said.
But Li Su had already figured out the answer. “I understand. Don’t worry, leave everything to me,” he whispered. The fact that Murong Xue could confess to him allowed Li Su to approach her differently. Of course, it was also possible that this witch was extremely cunning, and this confession was just another of her tricks.
As night fell, Li Su spent this night with Li Tao Yao. After Tao Yao broke through to the Nascent Divinity stage this time, her indifference seemed to grow stronger. However, after being entangled with Li Su for nearly half a month, that indifference gradually faded away in Li Su’s presence. The calamity Tao Yao faced wasn’t much of a threat.
