WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again! - Chapter 208

Chapter 208

The Sect Leader was unfamiliar with the purpose of the Sacred Decree since she had left her mysterious family at a young age. “This immortal energy is invaluable when transcending the Five Declines of Heaven and Man. Keep it,” Li Su suggested.

After some consideration, the Sect Leader insisted, “You should keep it.”

Li Su, however, handed the vial to her forcefully and said, “Mentor, please take it. You can proceed with confidence to establish your immortal foundation. I will protect you. Whatever challenges arise, I’ll handle them.”

As Li Su’s aura, characteristic of someone at the fifth stage of Nascent Divinity began to emanate, the Sect Leader’s gaze gradually transformed. She hadn’t expected Li Su’s strength to increase so rapidly, likely reaching at least the middle stage of Nascent Divinity within her perception.

In the Sect Leader’s eyes, Li Su had become even more enigmatic. She found it increasingly difficult to understand him, and Li Su had shown remarkable kindness towards her. She felt indebted but wasn’t sure how to repay him.

“Li Su…”

“Mentor, make your preparations with confidence. I also need to prepare. If your enemies come, leave them to me. Even if they are above the Nascent Divinity stage and dare to disturb you, I will ensure they have no way back!” Li Su stated calmly.

His proclamation of dealing with foes above the Nascent Divinity stage left the Sect Leader astonished, considering the vast gap in strength between realms. Top-tier talents typically couldn’t compete with or pose a threat to those at the beginning of the next realm, even if they reached the pinnacle of their current one. Li Su was still far from the Nascent Divinity pinnacle, yet his words were audacious.

The Sect Leader was left puzzled by Li Su’s statement. For some reason, she felt that Li Su exuded both the strength and confidence to support his words.

“Li Su…”

Li Su’s words deeply touched the Sect Leader.

“Mentor, no need to say more. Let’s meet in Mangkang Mountain in one month. We can discuss the rest once you’ve succeeded,” Li Su whispered. He had preparations to make.

In recent years, Li Su’s expertise in formations had continuously improved, and he hadn’t been idle. While he couldn’t currently acquire the fragments of the immortal weapon in Mangkang Mountain, he had delved deep into researching natural geomantic formations.

Li Su’s belief that he could handle even someone above the Nascent Divinity stage wasn’t just empty talk. The present Dayan Sword Formation was sufficient to deal with Nascent Soul cultivators, even those at the pinnacle of Nascent Soul. Once trapped within it, they would face dire consequences, if not death.

However, it wasn’t effective against cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage. Nevertheless, Li Su had long had an alternative method–using the natural Wind and Water array for his formations.

He could employ the natural geomantic formation not to create a lethal setup but to establish a trapping and illusionary formation. If he could trap the enemy within the formation temporarily and prevent their escape, he could gradually guide them towards the Elemental Magnetic Barrier with the formation’s assistance.

Then, by utilizing the illusion formation to lead the opponent into attacking the Elemental Magnetic Barrier, their attack would trigger the full force of the natural Wind and Water array and the fragments of the Immortal Artifact. This counterattack could be overwhelming, and even those above the Nascent Soul stage might struggle to withstand it.

Li Su had made some preparations in advance and arrived at Mangkang Mountain to set things up. Time passed swiftly, and a month later, the sect leader and her aunt appeared at Mangkang Mountain.

Their speed was impressive, and upon spotting Li Su, they swiftly flew over. In the sky, a blanket of dark clouds had already formed. The thunder tribulation was imminent. The sect leader didn’t have much time for conversation with Li Su.

“Master, come over here,” Li Su used his techniques to guide the sect leader to the designated location. The sect leader flew over.

“Boom!” The first thunder tribulation had arrived.

“Li Su.” The sect leader’s aunt also arrived.

“This time, thanks to you, the commotion caused by Xiao Xue’s Foundation Establishment is probably significant. Powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above in a large area nearby might be alerted. If enemies come, we’ll rely on you for everything,” the sect leader’s aunt said sincerely.

Then, she took a talisman and handed it to Li Su, saying, “This talisman is approaching the threshold of a Dao talisman. It contains True Qi inside. When activated, it will provide you with protection for an hour. Unless someone uses a Dao tool, no one can harm you. I only have one of these, so I’m giving it to you for self-defense.”

Dao talisman? Talisman grades could be likened to the quality of magical treasures, and a Dao talisman was comparable to a Dao tool. This talisman was close to reaching the standards of a Dao talisman, and its power was likely substantial. Li Su accepted the talisman.

From Li Su’s perspective, this talisman had significant research value. If he could study it thoroughly, he could replicate one.

“I’ll conceal it, for now, to avoid its discovery by any approaching powerful individuals and to prevent Xiao Xue’s identity from being compromised, which could bring trouble,” said the sect leader’s aunt. After saying that, she quickly flew off into the distance and soon disappeared. She had indeed hidden herself.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The thunder tribulation continued to rage. The entire thunder tribulation generally lasts for a little over an hour. At the halfway point, Li Su saw the sect leader use that strand of celestial qi. As she used it, a unique energy within the tribulation seemed to be activated and absorbed by her. Li Su kept a close watch on the situation.

Currently, there wasn’t much commotion here. The thunder tribulation during the Nascent Soul transformation couldn’t be sensed from too far away, even by the Immortal Sects in the Northern Territories. After a little over an hour, the thunder tribulation was completely defeated by the sect leader.

Li Su checked and saw that the sect leader was sitting there calmly, without any movement.

Did she succeed or fail? Li Su pondered as he refined the Purple Heavenly Divine Thunder amidst the thunderstorm. Simultaneously, he observed the situation closely. After several days, a new change finally occurred. An unusual fluctuation radiated from the sect leader in all directions. This fluctuation was extremely peculiar, and if it weren’t for Li Su’s possession of the Purple Gold Primordial Spirit, he might not have been able to perceive it.

This fluctuation was undetectable for ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, but those in the later stages of Nascent Soul or higher might sense it. Certain immortal sects with specialized sacred artifacts could monitor it as well.

The disturbance was indeed significant, large enough to alarm powerful beings potentially. It was more than just an ordinary commotion. Many common cultivators remained oblivious to it, but it had the potential to attract the attention of formidable individuals. It was likely that even the elite members of the First-Class Immortal Sects in the Central Region would be alerted by this development.
