WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again! - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Good Guys

My spiritual consciousness should be much stronger than other monks at the foundation-building stage, Li Su thought.

The two rewards were also quite good. Li Su’s descendants received a reward of 50,000, in addition to 100 years of cultivation, and also had a 0.1% increase in the probability of his descendants being born with spiritual roots. If he could continue to improve like this, it would be great.

The reward for having 50 descendants with spiritual roots included 100 years of cultivation and additional optional rewards. However, this time, there was an extra option among the optional rewards, which was the enhancement of spiritual consciousness.

Normally, during the Qi refining stage, one developed spiritual consciousness, but the consciousness of a Qi refining cultivator was very weak. In the early stage of Qi refining, the consciousness could not even leave the body, and in the later stage, it could only explore the surrounding area within a few meters. During the foundation-building stage, the spiritual consciousness doubled, but it was still not very strong. Generally, it could only sense the surrounding area within a few yards to several dozen yards, and those at the peak of the foundation-building stage could sense up to several hundred meters.

The improvement of spiritual consciousness was not a focus during the Qi refining and foundation-building stages, as the main goal was to enhance the cultivation base. Unless one had exceptional spiritual roots, people didn’t spend time cultivating techniques to improve spiritual consciousness. With limited lifespan, there was not enough time to focus on advancing cultivation level. So, it was time wasting to enhance spiritual consciousness.

If one’s cultivation base could not be improved, no matter how strong their spiritual consciousness was, it would not make much difference for a foundation-building cultivator. This time, with the reward for having 50 descendants with spiritual roots, an option was given to enhance spiritual consciousness for 100 years. Seeing that it was the first time this option appeared and coincided with the node reaching 50 descendants, Li Su was worried that there might not be another opportunity like this, so he chose it. After making the choice, his consciousness became much stronger.

Spiritual roots did not heavily influence the cultivation of spiritual consciousness. Other factors, such as physique, cultivation techniques, comprehension, and more, had a greater impact.

Nonetheless, Li Su’s spiritual consciousness had become considerably stronger. Although his cultivation base had not yet reached the Golden Core stage, his consciousness was already comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

“Senior brother!” Su Yun, a familiar face, arrived at my residence. It had been over ten years since we last saw each other. She had just finished her seclusion, and her strength had advanced once again. Previously, she was at the fourth level of foundation building, but now she had reached the sixth level, advancing by two levels at once. Her youthfulness and beauty were still as remarkable as when she was in her twenties. She likely used some kind of beauty-enhancing elixir, combined with her rapid cultivation progress and slow aging, contributing to her excellent physical condition.

Su Yun was delighted to see Li Su and her eyes sparkled with joy. They hadn’t seen each other for such a long time, and it was a joyous reunion.

“Brother, I heard that you have completed the foundation stage,” Su Yun exclaimed happily.

“Yes,” Li Su replied.

“Wow, congratulations!” she exclaimed, genuinely happy for him.

They chatted for a while, catching up on their lives. Then Su Yun brought up the reason for her visit.

“Brother, do you still have the slate of the cultivator Bai?” she asked.

Li Su retrieved the slate and handed it to her. Su Yun informed him that Cultivator Bai had finally spoken up, and things had become troublesome. She explained that the trapped demonic cultivator was likely still alive, and Cultivator Bai had accepted a demonic cultivation inheritance. The plan was for Cultivator Bai to reach the Golden Core stage and then seek help from the demonic cultivator who had passed on the inheritance, thereby assisting the trapped cultivator in escaping.

Li Su was surprised to learn that the demonic cultivator was still alive. He had thought that the Sect Leader had dealt with him. The Sect Leader seemed to have kept him confined, possibly to gather more information.

“What about the token?” the Sect Leader inquired.

Li Su decided to show her all the items he had. The Sect Leader took the slate and examined it, murmuring something under her breath.

“Holy…Holy Alliance,” she whispered.

“What is the Holy Alliance, Master?” Li Su asked.

“The Holy Alliance is a coalition of many demonic sects. It’s unexpected to see their token here. The trapped demonic cultivator seems to be a disciple of the Holy Alliance. He plans to have Cultivator Bai reach the Golden Core stage and then seek assistance from the Holy Alliance to free him from his predicament,” the Sect Leader explained.

Li Su was taken aback. The Holy Alliance, a coalition of demonic sects, had named themselves “Holy.” He had no idea where these demonic sects were located. Moreover, it seemed that even after Cultivator Bai reached the Golden Core stage, he couldn’t free the trapped cultivator. He wondered how powerful the trapped cultivator was.

“I’m planning to go there and assess the situation. Li Su, accompany me along with Su Yun,” the Sect Leader declared.

Once again, Li Su found himself in the presence of the Sect Leader, discussing important matters.
