WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again! - Chapter 102

Chapter 102

Li Su was breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, and it appeared that he was on the verge of success, all happening surprisingly quickly. Carrying her fifth child, sired by Li Su, the Holy Maiden proceeded to the door. All members of the Li family had been alerted, focusing their attention on the rear mountain.

“Is the ancestral elder about to attain the mighty Nascent Soul cultivation?” Some of the Li family’s descendants were elated and had unwavering faith in Li Su. Witnessing such a stir, they were convinced that the ancestral elder was about to reach the Nascent Soul stage, without any doubts. Failure was inconceivable to them when it came to the ancestral elder.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in the Flying Immortal Sect, the sect leader ascended into the sky. The protective formation of the Flying Immortal Sect was not fully active, allowing the sect leader to sense the commotion outside. This time was unlike her past Nascent Soul breakthrough. Back then, the Holy Maiden of the Mystic Moon could have attacked at any moment, prompting the sect leader to use the tribulation thunder as a defense.

The protective formation of the Flying Immortal Sect was already activated during that previous event, resulting in minimal commotion outside. However, this time, the sect leader soared into the sky, and from her perception, the direction of the Li family was like a turbulent sea.

“Nascent Soul!”

“Is he breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage?” The sect leader quickly comprehends the situation and transforms into a streak of light, heading swiftly towards the Li family’s location. In no time, she arrived near the Li family. This time, she confirmed it: Li Su attempted to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, causing a massive disturbance.

Naturally, even during her previous breakthrough when she didn’t use the protective formation, the commotion wouldn’t have been insignificant. After confirming this, a hint of surprise flickered in the sect leader’s eyes.

However, she seemed accustomed to Li Su’s frequent and unexpected breakthroughs, having witnessed his impressive advancements numerous times. During the wave of demonic beasts, the sect leader had only surpassed Li Su once. Now, it appeared that Li Su had once again surpassed her.

The sect leader lurked not far from the Li family, concealing her presence and remaining hidden. She stood there silently, guarding Li Su. As time passed, the area around the Li family became crowded with people. Many had gathered on the outskirts of Luo City.

“The ancestral elder of the Li family is on the verge of becoming a ten-thousand-year immortal!” This news spread among the common people in Luo City. People shared that Li Su was reaching the status of a ten-thousand-year immortal. Some folks found terms like “Foundation Establishment” and “Cultivation” too complex and hard to remember, as many couldn’t recognize the characters. So, they preferred using terms like “hundred-year immortal,” “thousand-year immortal,” and “ten-thousand-year immortal” for differentiation. The greater the number of years, the stronger the immortal would be.

These people were unaware that achieving ten thousand years of cultivation in the Nascent Soul stage was nearly impossible. If one didn’t advance beyond the early Nascent Soul stage, they would have only a little over a thousand years. In the later stages of the Nascent Soul, the average lifespan was around three thousand years, with exceptions living up to five thousand years. Some cultivators extended their lifespans through well-formed Nascent Souls, longevity-enhancing techniques, or special elixirs.

Amidst all the excitement, several more days passed. Finally, Li Su’s infant formation energy was depleted on this day. The Gold Core vanished inside his body, and an identical Nascent Soul emerged. This Nascent Soul was entirely golden, shining brilliantly and almost blinding. Upon closer examination, a faint purple glow could be noticed within it.

As the Nascent Soul formed, the rosy radiance in the sky intensified, with wind and clouds stirring, and significant celestial changes occurring. An enormous figure, identical to Li Su, appeared trance-like on the Li family’s rear mountain. This sight awed everyone.

“The ancestral elder of the Li family has achieved ten-thousand-year immortality!” Some common folks prostrated themselves in reverence, almost worshipping Li Su as a deity.

“He did it!” The colossal figure vanished, and Li Su smiled on the Li family’s rear mountain. His Nascent Soul had successfully formed. Just moments ago, he had used his Nascent Soul to connect with the heavens and the earth, creating something similar to a “Dharma Body.” In the Nascent Soul stage, cultivators could interact with the rules of the heavens and earth, wielding the power of the cosmos.

Li Su believed that initially forming his Nascent Soul had already triggered celestial phenomena. He was confident that his Nascent Soul was of the highest quality. Unlike Gold Cores, Nascent Souls didn’t have clearly defined grades, as they couldn’t be distinguished by size. Quality was determined by the scope of celestial phenomena triggered during their formation. Li Su’s celestial phenomena extended thousands of miles, making it the highest-grade Nascent Soul.

Another way to gauge a Nascent Soul’s quality was its colour. The worst Nascent Souls were yellow, while the top-tier ones were the most dazzling gold. When Li Su’s Nascent Soul formed, he condensed his strength and ascended into the sky. The rosy radiance had dissipated, replaced by dense black clouds. These clouds shrouded the Li family’s rear mountain, with thunder rumbling within. The thunder tribulation had arrived.

“Boom!”

The first bolt of tribulation lightning struck swiftly. “Haha, it’s here,” Li Su exclaimed. He laughed and countered the lightning, seeing it as a means to stabilize his cultivation further.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The tribulation lightning continued to descend, and Li Su kept countering it, shattering each bolt. The defeated thunder was collected by the formations Li Su had set up, flowing into the twelve large cauldrons. In the distance, onlookers were in awe. They had only heard about immortal tribulations before and now witnessed one for the first time. Seeing Li Su confidently dispel the terrifying tribulation of lightning made these ordinary mortals truly grasp the immense power of immortals – or rather, the immense power of Li Su.

Some cultivators had instinctively retreated when they saw the tribulation of lightning. “So, this is how his divine thunder is formed,” some murmured in realization. The Holy Maiden of the Mystic Moon finally understood how Li Su had created the Purple Twilight Divine Thunder that had once gravely injured her – by using the tribulation lightning during his Nascent Soul formation to collect thunder energy. Only Li Su could accomplish such a feat.

Why does it feel more potent than my master’s tribulation? she wondered as she sensed the difference. Thunder kept coming wave after wave of tribulation, but Li Su was undaunted. The stronger the tribulation, the better, as his Nascent Soul was growing stronger and collecting more thunder energy. The Purple Twilight Divine Thunder he was forging this time would undoubtedly be more powerful.

“Boom!”

Li Su shattered the final bolt of tribulation lightning. Emerging from the ordeal, he appeared god-like, descending to the mortal realm. Everyone around Luo City was captivated. “I never thought I would witness him reach the Nascent Soul stage in my lifetime,” they marveled.

An old wandering cultivator, well into his twilight years and with little time left, muttered to himself. Over a hundred years ago, when Li Su first went to the Extinct Immortal Peak, he was only in the Foundation Establishment stage. He had been fortunate to obtain a unique spirit herb that extended his lifespan slightly.

However, over a hundred years had passed, and he remained in the Foundation Establishment stage. Li Su had reached the Nascent Soul stage. Witnessing Li Su’s journey from Foundation Establishment to Nascent Soul made the old cultivator feel that his life hadn’t been in vain. Even if he couldn’t reach the Nascent Soul stage himself, witnessing an old friend’s achievement wasn’t bad.

“He did it!” The Holy Maiden of the Mystic Moon took a deep breath and declared with profound emotion.
