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.
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.
