WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again! - Chapter 232

Chapter 232

The Sect Master Lu, despite being in the Void Refinement stage, deeply respected Li Su’s abilities. Although Li Su was not yet three hundred years old, his proficiency in formations was astonishing. The Sect Master Lu aimed to build a closer relationship with Li Su.

Realizing that Li Su was extraordinary, Sect Master Lu abandoned recruiting him into the Xuantian Academy, focusing instead on nurturing a strong bond. He casually mentioned, “Young friend, I see you have a harmonious relationship with Xia He and the others. If they are willing, I will not oppose their marriages to you.” However, he soon regretted his words.

Not long after, Xia He eloped with Li Su and approached the Sect Master Lu to express her desire to marry him. Unaware of the gravity of the situation, the Sect Master Lu, still joyful, said, “This is a joyous occasion for our Xuantian Academy. Xia, He is a core disciple, and as her family, we should contribute to this wedding.” He organized a grand wedding to celebrate the union.

Shortly after this wedding, another female cultivator from Xuantian Academy, having witnessed Xia He’s marriage to Li Su, approached the Sect Master Lu with her intentions. She was also a core disciple with a fourth-grade spiritual root and a cultivation level in the Nascent Soul late stage. In the Western Region, a fourth-grade spiritual root still held the potential for reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

Advancing to the Nascent Soul peak stage wouldn’t be too challenging, and with sufficient resources, there was even a reasonable chance of breaking through to the Void Refinement stage. However, this remained a possibility, as reaching the Void Refinement stage depended not only on spiritual roots but also on opportunities, comprehension, resources, and other factors. Even cultivators with second or third-grade spiritual roots in the Nascent Soul stage could unexpectedly encounter bottlenecks.

The Sect Master Lu commented, “That’s a fortunate turn of events,” still not realizing the gravity of the situation. He had made his words public, and thus, he arranged another significant wedding for this female cultivator.

Following this, Li Su took in another female cultivator from the Tianluo Sect, who possessed a decent spiritual root. The Tianluo Sect’s leader had been keen on attracting Li Su’s attention by sending promising disciples. His goal was to elevate the Tianluo Sect to a first-grade immortal sect, a task that required having at least one cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage or higher.

The Tianluo Sect’s leader acknowledged his limitations and knew he could never reach the Void Refinement stage himself, no matter how dedicated he was to cultivation. While the Void Refinement stage theoretically offered an extended lifespan, it was not true immortality. Immortality was a separate, elusive realm. If powerful Void Refinement cultivators could truly attain immortality, the world would be filled with them over the years.

Within the Tianluo Sect, there were cultivators with third-grade spiritual roots, but nurturing a third-grade spiritual root to the Void Refinement stage was exceedingly challenging and time-consuming. The Tianluo Sect’s leader doubted whether he would live long enough to witness such a feat in his lifetime.

Li Su’s presence kindled hope in the Tianluo Sect’s leader, who became proactive. Disciples approached him, expressing their desire to marry Li Su, starting with Xia He and Senior Sister Liang Tong, followed by more.

As the Sect Master Lu encountered the growing number of disciples interested in Li Su, he began to comprehend the gravity of the situation, but by then, it was too late. His casual words had already spread throughout the Xuantian Academy. Moreover, each time Li Su visited the academy, he intentionally selected exceptional female cultivators to assist him, fostering a strong bond.

The Sect Master Lu, who initially had no intention of recruiting Li Su into the Tianluo Sect, was left bewildered by the unexpected events. He genuinely wished to maintain a good relationship with Li Su and had never planned to offer his academy’s outstanding disciples for marriage to Li Su. His casual remark had unforeseen consequences, and he deeply regretted it. In a short span of time, Li Su had won the hearts of several female disciples from the Xuantian Academy, who had remarkable spiritual roots and comprehension. The Sect Master Lu was now remorseful, wishing he could take back his words, but they were already spoken.

As a Void Refinement Master and the leader of a second-grade immortal sect, going back on his words would not only tarnish his reputation but also jeopardize his relationship with Li Su. Therefore, the Sect Master Lu had no choice but to bear the consequences despite the unbearable regret he felt. The Xuantian Academy already had a relatively small number of female disciples, and the exceptional ones were even scarcer. However, Li Su had managed to take most of them away in just a few years.

Over the next few years, the Xuantian Academy celebrated a series of weddings, as almost every year, Li Su spirited away another outstanding female disciple. This situation gradually became known throughout the Western Region, and it was a topic of discussion among many cultivators.

In the words of the cultivators in the region,

“Is it true that Li Su has taken all the exceptional female disciples of the Xuantian Academy?”

“Yes, it’s true. Li Su has been taking in concubines for years, and the Xuantian Academy has had to hold weddings at least once a year, sometimes even three or four times.”

“The leader of the Xuantian Academy has gone to great lengths to court Li Su.”

These discussions circulated among the cultivators in the Western Region. The Land Sect’s disciples, upon hearing the rumors from outsiders, wore pained expressions, unable to voice their frustrations. If this trend continued, it seemed like Li Su would claim all the female disciples of the Xuantian Academy.

On his 300th birthday, Li Su celebrated, thinking, And I’m 300 years old.

As if in response to this milestone, Li Su’s cultivation made a significant breakthrough, reaching the late Divine Transformation stage, the seventh layer of the Divine Transformation stage. Li Su smiled, feeling the immense power of his golden-purple Immortal Spirit.
