Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!-Chapter 291
Chapter 291
“Aunt, when the Sect Leader was taken away by that woman back then, why didn’t those Refinement Realm experts make a move?” Li Su asked.
“She’s very cunning. Back then, she found a pretext to take away some of the righteous clan members,” the Sect Leader’s aunt explained.
Li Su understood and asked, “What about the Sect Leader’s parents?”
“They are with Xiao Xue’s younger brother in the Purple Gold Sacred Grounds. It seems they won’t be returning to the family either,” the Sect Leader’s aunt replied.
“Who is this woman, and why would the family’s ancestor allow her to have so much power?” Li Su inquired.
The Sect Leader’s aunt hesitated for a moment before saying, “She is the ancestor’s partner.”

Now, Li Su fully comprehended the situation. It explained why this woman was so arrogant, even when she gave birth to a son who was considered useless in the past. With a child possessing a Pre-Natal Dao Body and being acknowledged as the Holy Son by the Purple-Gold Holy Ground, she had become even more arrogant.
“I speculate that she won’t take action for the time being. She needs to stabilize her family first. Additionally, she probably intends to wait until her son reaches the ‘Refining Void’ stage before seeking assistance from the Purple Gold Holy Land to deal with Xiao Xue,” the sect leader’s aunt shared her conjecture.
With her innate Dao body and a top-grade spiritual root, her cultivation speed was no less than that of a spiritual root immortal. The woman’s son should be over a hundred years older than Li Su, meaning he was now over five hundred years old. According to the cultivation path of a spiritual root immortal, he could reach the ‘Refining Void’ stage within a range of one hundred to two hundred years. For those with faster progress due to a spiritual root, achieving ‘Refining Void’ in six to seven hundred years was certainly feasible.
Li Su also found the sect leader’s aunt’s speculation plausible. This meant that a hundred years from now, the woman might indeed seek help from the Purple Gold Holy Land. The prospect of recruiting a saintly figure at the ‘Refining Void’ stage was quite intriguing. Given that the Purple Gold Holy Land was quite distant from the Canglan Realm, it was likely that they hadn’t even heard of Li Su’s name yet. The sect leader initially used a spirit talisman to escape for her life, flying for a long time before reaching the Canglan Realm.
“Let your aunt and the others come over, and as for that woman, there’s no need to worry. Leave her to me,” Li Su said. With over a hundred years at hand, there shouldn’t be much of a problem. Given his current rate of advancement, Li Su was confident that he would have enough time to reach the ‘Harmonizing’ stage. Let the other party come. After all, what was one more holy land? In his family, there was currently a holy land, Saintess as well.
Considering these factors, Li Su continued to prioritize his personal growth. From time to time, he took a few concubines, given the abundance of female cultivators in the Canglan Realm. Mystic Moon, on the other hand, periodically sent messages showcasing impressive progress in her cultivation. When she reached the ‘Refining Void’ stage, it was sure to bring immense joy to the Celestial Demon, and they were likely celebrating exuberantly.
Mystic Moon’s Celestial Demon Mark had now reached the seventh layer, and Yu Yue planned to add another layer to accumulate a significant amount of power, even if it took some time, to directly reach the pinnacle of the ‘Refining Void’ stage. Her power absorption was not as rapid as Li Su’s since the system rewards for cultivation, even spanning tens of thousands of years, typically took only a few days to absorb. The resources Mystic Moon obtained from the Celestial Demon require several decades to over a hundred years to absorb fully. Nevertheless, the previous wave of rewards from the system had greatly benefited her, cutting the time needed in half.
Mystic Moon was perplexed by this development, but when Li Su explained that it was the result of his efforts, her doubts vanished. She found her husband even more extraordinary and now considered him a mythical figure similar to a reincarnated immortal. Another decade passed without major events – the woman remained inactive, and the demon cultivators had not made any moves. In the meantime, Li Su and Bai Ling’s daughter, Li Linger, break through to the Nascent Divinity stage. Notably, Li Linger achieved this in just two hundred years, a testament to her exceptional talent, which was attributed to her potent bloodline and enhancements.
Unbeknownst to Li Su, his children were also making significant progress, especially the exceptionally talented ones among them. Li Linger’s breakthrough significantly contributed to Li Su’s cultivation. Li Su and Mo Lin’s daughter, Li Zhen’er, had already reached the Fourth Rank of the Elemental Infant stage and was swiftly advancing towards the Nascent Divinity stage, possibly progressing faster than Li Linger.
However, Li Su’s own cultivation had not yet reached the late ‘Refining Void’ stage after these ten years, and there had been no significant rewards. He remained between the sixth and seventh layers, but the next level was not too far away.
One day, Tiantian informed Li Su about an issue with Peak Master Dieyun’s cave abode. Rushing to the scene, Li Su found that the cave’s restrictions, intricately connected with the sect’s defensive formation, were trembling – a highly unusual occurrence. Upon entering, he sensed volatile energy, and in the hall, black energy emanated from Peak Master Dieyun’s body, her eyes showing signs of inner turmoil. Li Su realized that she was facing a heart demon, a challenging situation.
Peak Master Dieyun had been stuck in a bottleneck for thousands of years, and Li Su helped her overcome it, but now she struggled with a heart demon. Li Su rushed to her side, administering a black spiritual pill to help her maintain clarity. The Calm Heart Pill took effect, but her aura remained crucial. After a few days, Peak Master Dieyun’s aura returned to normal, and she narrowly avoided a dangerous situation, saved by Li Su’s intervention.
Grateful for his help, Peak Master Dieyun thanked Li Su and acknowledged his kindness, having been aided by him twice. She admitted that while the ‘Harmonizing’ stage felt close, in reality, it was still quite distant due to her hastiness. Li Su offered her some elixirs, which she accepted. However, as she took them, her eyes changed color again, and the heart demon struck once more, this time in an unusual phenomenon known as the “Color Tribulation.”
Despite the side effects, she managed to suppress the heart demon, but it left her body experiencing a peculiar sensation. She was about to speak but embraced Li Su, her eyes now bewildered.
