WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again! - Chapter 182
Chapter 182
Several sect leaders from the various sects breathed a sigh of relief, impressed by Li Su’s outlook and determination.
In the blink of an eye, another year had passed. During this time, Li Su maintained occasional contact with Bai Ling through the conch, hoping to learn about the developments in the Sea Tribe’s grand assembly.
Bai Ling didn’t withhold information but could only share limited details due to the constraints of the communication method. She explained that the Sea Tribes were exploring an ancient underwater ruin far from the North Sea. The exploration’s duration was uncertain.
Even the last Immortal Sect ruins took over half a year to explore with Li Su’s involvement. Without him, it would have taken far longer. From Bai Ling’s words, it became clear that since unifying the six clans of the merfolk, her tribe had been officially recognized by the other Sea Tribes and was actively participating in larger joint ventures. Meanwhile, the Northern Region remained peaceful.
The sect leader, still in seclusion, had not emerged after several years. In the meantime, Bi Yao bore another child for Li Su.
You Yue had yet to return from her travels. Li Su suspected that when she did, she might already be close to breaking into the Divine Transformation stage. This prolonged absence made Li Su miss the mischievous demoness.
Between his research, Li Su continued to expand his household. For example, with the milestone of 500 descendants possessing spiritual roots, Li Su had been rewarded with 5,000 years of cultivation experience. He allocated this to advancing his expertise in puppetry to 3,000 years and further enhancing his pill-making and artifact-forging skills.
As for his divine soul, there was no longer an option to improve it independently, as his system rewards directly strengthened his primordial spirit, which inherently enhanced his divine soul. However, Li Su could still strengthen his divine sense.
At the Divine Transformation stage, the strength of divine sense was tied to the power of one’s primordial spirit. Still, direct reinforcement could yield exceptional results.
Over the next year, Li Su’s reputation as a suitor grew infamous in the Watermoon Sect. Several Golden Core female cultivators from the sect joined his household, adding to his growing lineage.
By this point, Li Su had married more than half of the Watermoon Sect’s Golden Core female cultivators.
Given that these women were highly talented, the children they bore inherited excellent spiritual roots, pushing Li Su’s lineage closer to the coveted fourth-grade roots.
At the Divine Transformation stage, spiritual roots required further refinement. Without this, the amount of cultivation needed to advance would grow exponentially.
Li Su’s Purple Gold Primordial Spirit demanded an extraordinary amount of cultivation. Such a spirit was unattainable with mere fifth-grade spiritual roots, even first-grade roots without significant opportunities wouldn’t suffice.
While first-grade spiritual roots were sufficient for forming a supreme Golden Core or a top-tier Nascent Soul, the Purple Gold Primordial Spirit required far more. Thus, Li Su’s advancement required immense effort and resources.
Even so, two years later, the Li family’s descendants reached a milestone of 600,000. This triggered a wave of rewards, pushing Li Su into the second layer of the Divine Transformation stage.
Among these rewards was a unique enhancement: some of Li Su’s descendants with spiritual roots now had a small chance (0.01%) to gain special attributes such as luck or destiny, improving their chances of encountering fortuitous opportunities.
Although the probability was low, it marked a significant improvement from before.
“Second layer of Divine Transformation,” Li Su muttered to himself as he absorbed the influx of cultivation. Stretching, he felt his power grow further.
While Li Su often thought his advancement was slow due to the massive cultivation required, the reality was different. Barely six years had passed since he first reached the Divine Transformation stage, and he had already advanced a layer.
Such speed was unparalleled, save for those who relied on forbidden techniques or demonic cultivation methods like You Yue, who siphoned power from celestial demons.
But demonic cultivators paid a steep price. The faster they advanced, the more perilous their tribulations became. Li Su’s progress, by contrast, was methodical and steady, making him exceptionally strong for his level.
Feeling pleased with his progress, Li Su celebrated the only way he knew how—by taking another concubine. The Northern Region buzzed with gossip once more.
Li Su’s growing household became a hot topic among the region’s cultivators, especially as his suitors now included over half of the Watermoon Sect’s Golden Core female cultivators.
The remaining women were still in seclusion, unaware of what was happening outside.
“Senior Li is incredible—he’s taken so many Golden Core female cultivators as concubines!”
“Yeah, and all of them are from Watermoon Sect!”
“If this continues, he’ll marry every eligible woman in Watermoon Sect!”
“…”
Many male cultivators in the Northern Region were green with envy. Watermoon Sect was renowned for its all-female membership, and countless male cultivators dreamed of joining the sect or becoming the favored companion of one of its women. But that was a pipe dream for most.
Now, Li Su was marrying one Watermoon Sect beauty after another, leaving those men with nothing but admiration—and a tinge of jealousy. Despite their envious chatter, none dared speak ill of him. Li Su’s strength and status left no room for disrespect.
Li Su, now a Divine Transformation powerhouse, naturally commanded immense respect. With the Watermoon Sect’s leader remaining silent on his actions and all the women joining him willingly, no one else had any grounds to interfere.
That said, the concerns of the Northern Region’s cultivators weren’t entirely unfounded. After marrying most of the Golden Core female cultivators in Watermoon Sect, Li Su began taking promising Foundation Establishment cultivators as concubines.
Watermoon Sect had no shortage of such cultivators—there were several hundred of them.
“The immortals of Watermoon Sect will all be his at this rate!”
“I’m so envious of Senior Li’s stamina~”
“…”
Once again, the cultivators of the Northern Region buzzed with gossip. On another front, after Li Su had taken several more cultivators from Watermoon Sect into his household, his conch finally sounded. It was Bai Ling.
She relayed that the Sea Tribes had emerged from the ancient ruins. The exploration had been fruitful, with each tribe claiming a fair share of treasures. The merfolk, having gained recognition among the Sea Tribes, had also received a considerable portion.
However, the stronger tribes within the Sea Tribes now sought to use the merfolk as the vanguard in an ambitious plan: to attack Bi Xia Sect and seize the fragments of a sacred artifact housed within.
Bai Ling, wary of the implications, shared the matter with Li Su, hoping he could offer some guidance or a solution.
Li Su pondered for a moment after hearing Bai Ling’s message.
The Sea Tribes targeting Bi Xia Sect could destabilize the Northern Region, especially if the sect were to suffer losses. Bi Xia Sect was one of the most powerful forces in the region, and any attack on them would ripple through the surrounding territories.
Moreover, the sacred artifact fragments were not only invaluable but likely tied to Bi Xia Sect’s ability to maintain its status as a top-tier sect. Losing them could weaken their foundation significantly.
He responded to Bai Ling through the conch.
“This situation is delicate. Don’t rush into any decisions. For now, delay as much as possible—make it clear to the other tribes that the merfolk require more time to prepare for such an operation.
Meanwhile, I’ll reach out to Bi Xia Sect discreetly and see if there’s a way to preemptively address this. It’s better if the Sea Tribes’ plan can be foiled before it begins.”
Li Su’s mind raced with possibilities. While he wasn’t directly affiliated with Bi Xia Sect, his growing ties with their members, particularly Bi Luo, could provide an avenue for discreetly alerting them to the threat.
This could also be an opportunity to solidify his influence in both the Northern Region and the Sea Tribes. After finishing his communication with Bai Ling, Li Su prepared to strategize his next move.
