Chapter 87
Compared to combat-enhancing techniques that required burning life force or vital energy, this drawback was manageable. Additionally, the secret technique was not to be shared. Any attempt to do so would render it ineffective. This restricted the practice of secret art, and Li Su would only be able to bypass it if he could modify the secret art during cultivation, altering its crucial aspects. Unfortunately, with Li Su’s current cultivation level, attempting to modify such a secret art was insufficient.
Of course, there were alternative methods to bypass it, just like the method used by the Silent Moon Saintess. In that case, didn’t the second method of transmitting secrets mentioned by the Mysterious Moon Saintess become the perfect scheme for this witch? This witch indeed seemed determined to turn the tables.
Smack!
A clear sound rang out as Li Su smacked the Silent Moon Saintess hard on the buttocks.
……
“In just over a year and less than two years, Li Su had reached the ninth level of the Golden Core. His cultivation speed had significantly increased thanks to his spiritual roots advancing to the seventh grade and the continuous growth of his family’s descendants. This acceleration was ongoing.
Li Su had already handed the secret art to the sect leader and a special code table. Given the sect leader’s intelligence, she should be capable of deciphering it. However, the Mysterious Moon Saintess had played a little trick. She had only provided the upper half of the secret art.
“The lower half pertains to the Nascent Soul and beyond. I don’t possess it. If you wish to obtain it, you’ll have to wait until I reach the Nascent Soul stage,” she asserted.
Li Su trusted her, recognizing that the upper half was related to the Nascent Soul stage. Beyond that, utilizing only the upper half wouldn’t be ineffective, as its effects would be diminished. The Nascent Soul stage represented a distant and unattainable peak for most cultivators. As for the Nascent Soul itself, it remained a realm they couldn’t even dare to dream of.
These cultivators lacked ambition. Even when Li Su was in the Foundation Establishment stage, he contemplated achieving godhood.
The Silent Moon Saintess had been constantly at Li Su’s side for over a year, serving as his personal maid. Typically, she only had time to rest at night since Li Su would spend his nights with his other concubines.
“His strength has once again improved,” she remarked. Despite her full strength being restricted and covered in enchantments, the Silent Moon Saintess, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, still possessed keen insight. She had now noticed that Li Su had likely made further progress.
At this point, Li Su had already reached the ninth level of the Golden Core, leaving the Silent Moon Saintess puzzled. Over the past year, during the day, Li Su would keep her close to him to prevent her from causing any trouble. She knew that during this time, Li Su hadn’t been cultivating at all. She hadn’t witnessed him practicing or even meditating. As for what Li Su did at night, she couldn’t be sure, but she noticed that there was essentially a wedding or celebration in the Li Family every month, typically within the festive ambiance of a full-moon banquet.
The Mysterious Moon Saintess could easily deduce what Li Su was up to at night. It was perplexing. Li Su, who didn’t engage in cultivation practices at all, had still managed to advance a level in his cultivation. This didn’t seem scientifically plausible, even for a demonic cultivator.
Furthermore, after observing him for over a year, the Silent Moon Saintess was certain that if she had refused to cooperate and surrendered the secret art more than a year ago, Li Su might have coerced her into bearing his child. She had noticed that Li Su had an exceptional enthusiasm for procreation. For the past year or so, Li Su had either taken concubines or had been heading in that direction.”
……
The battle at the Flying Immortal Sect had spread Li Su’s reputation widely, further enhancing his fame. Surviving a direct strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator and severely injuring a peak Golden Core demonic cultivator had firmly established Li Su’s status as an almost divine figure among cultivators in the three major sects’ territories. Many “immortal maidens” aspired to wed Li Su. Not many “immortal maidens” in the three major sects met Li Su’s criteria. However, after Xu Waner married Li Su, some exceptional female cultivators from the other two sects began to express interest. Some female cultivators even fled their respective sects to marry him, which violated sect rules.
Nevertheless, after the battle with the Flying Immortal Sect, the Flying Immortal Sect had risen above the other two in the three major sects’ territories. Li Su’s terrifying combat strength filled everyone with dread. Even when female cultivators from the other two sects fled to marry him, those sects had no option but to accept it. They were astute, refraining from stripping these female cultivators of their disciple status. Instead, they continued to provide them with spiritual stones and occasional elixirs, maintaining a harmonious relationship while allowing their disciples to be with Li Su. All of this was aimed at winning Li Su’s favor.
Over the past year, the caliber of the concubines Li Su took in was quite high, and his offspring continued to be born. Because of this, the Mysterious Moon Saintess, a Nascent Soul stage practitioner from the demonic sect, couldn’t understand it. How did Li Su indulge in romantic affairs and rapidly advance his cultivation? Furthermore, there was a significant likelihood that Li Su’s Golden Core grade was exceptionally high, possibly within the top three grades. This deduction wasn’t challenging for her. When Li Su easily defeated her subordinates at the peak of the Golden Core stage and even withstood her attack, it strongly indicated his high Golden Core grade.
