Chapter 140
“However, such actions cannot be too frequent, or the Dark entity will become suspicious,” Dark Moon added.
Li Su nodded. It was clear that this had to be done carefully. This time, the Dark entity had been exceptionally generous, allowing Dark Moon to advance several levels. Their generosity likely stemmed from their strong desire to control her further.
Additionally, Dark Moon had only had one Dark Seal until now, so her willingness to deepen a second one must have pleased the Dark entity.
Li Su then asked, “Is it possible for someone to be so reckless as to deepen the Dark Seals crazily in exchange for the power of the Dark entity, even at the risk of their life?”
Li Su asked, and Dark Moon shook her head, saying, “They would be overwhelmed because the deeper the Dark Seals, the more powerful and purer the Dark power given by the Dark entity. In your words, the Thunder Tribulation would teach them a lesson, and such a foundation wouldn’t be stable. When confronting the Thunder Tribulation, they would face an even more gruesome death.”
Li Su understood now. There were various types of dark cultivators. Not all dark cultivators were involved in killing and pill concoctions. Some genuinely practiced cultivation.
However, this type of cultivation was still a shortcut. The Dark Citadel, for instance, represented one type, while the underground dark cultivator he had encountered before was another.
Each type of dark cultivator had a different way of growing. The Dark Citadel was quite special due to its association with “Dark.”
After a while, Li Su’s voice rang out, “Dark Moon, do you want to spar with me?”
Dark Moon had made significant progress this time, and it seemed she wanted to settle the “score” from when Li Su had captured her earlier. Li Su indulged her.
“Let’s not fight, you’re bullying me,” she teased.
Then, Dark Moon’s sulky voice echoed as she agreed to spar.
However, as soon as they started, Li Su displayed the cultivation of the later stages of the Nascent Soul stage and easily overwhelmed Dark Moon again.
This time, her maneuvers were exceptionally well executed. She took control of the Demonic Seals, turned the situation around, and managed to deceive the Demons to acquire their power. After dedicating over a decade to absorbing these abilities thoroughly, Dark Moon’s strength had significantly increased. Her exceptional performance garnered praise from Li Su, putting Dark Moon in high spirits. She wanted to impress Li Su, but things didn’t go as planned. Instead of showcasing her abilities to Li Su, she found herself once again being overshadowed by him.
Li Su’s progress was even swifter than hers, even though she was already taking a shortcut among shortcuts. How did Li Su manage to achieve this? Dark Moon was both shocked and somewhat frustrated by the situation. Despite her astonishment, she was still unwilling to accept her defeat and insisted on sparring with Li Su. The outcome was predictable, though. Even when Li Su was less potent than her initially, he could still hold his own. Now, Dark Moon was no longer a match for him. Seeing Dark Moon exhaling with frustration, Li Su laughed heartily and flew over to embrace her. “Dark Moon, how about giving birth to another child for me?” Exhaling with irritation, Dark Moon’s beautiful eyes widened as she asked, “Another one?” “Yes,” Li Su replied with a grin. Dark Moon’s expression instantly turned incredibly cute in response to his request. Her helpless look was so endearing that Li Su couldn’t resist pinching her cheek. Sure enough, not long after Dark Moon’s recent advancement in cultivation, her belly started to expand again.
The following year, she gave birth to another child for Li Su, and this child also had a good spiritual root, reaching the fourth grade. Achieving a spiritual root in the first three grades was quite challenging, and it often depended on luck. Li Su had already been fortunate to have a daughter with a third-grade spiritual root.
“Mengmeng has reached the Foundation Establishment stage?” One day, Li Su received news from Mengmeng and Liu Xinshui, each reporting their respective updates. “Mengmeng reached the Foundation Establishment stage so quickly?” A radiant smile appeared on Dark Moon’s face. She had experienced a challenging childhood and naturally hoped for a stable cultivation environment for her daughter. “Come on, Dark Moon, let’s go to the Water Moon Sect,” Li Su said as he prepared to depart. Since Mengmeng had successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage, the Water Moon Sect had prepared a celebration for her.
In large immortal sects like the Water Moon Sect, where hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators resided, celebrations for Foundation Establishment were typically understated. However, due to Mengmeng’s unique status, Liu Xinshui had even invited cultivators from other sects. This time, Li Su brought many gifts to present to Mengmeng. Within the Water Moon Sect, Mengmeng rushed into Li Su’s arms. On the other hand, Dark Moon couldn’t help feeling somewhat helpless. Their daughter seemed quite attached to Li Su, even though her mother was right there.
Moreover, Mengmeng grew into a young lady but still showed affectionate dependence on Li Su.
“Mother” Mengmeng called out affectionately. After showering Li Su affectionately, Mengmeng finally leaped into Dark Moon’s arms, bringing a smile to her face.
“Thanks to you, Master Xinshui,” Li Su expressed his gratitude to Liu Xinshui at the banquet. Liu Xinshui had put a lot of effort into nurturing Mengmeng, treating her as her own daughter. Li Su replied, “You’re too kind, Master Liu. With Mengmeng’s exceptional spiritual roots, I would be failing in my responsibility as a friend if I didn’t trust you to raise her properly.” The atmosphere at the banquet was exceptionally harmonious. After the celebration, Li Su and Dark Moon stayed with Mengmeng at the Water Moon Sect for a few days. They also took the opportunity to refine the Water Moon Sect’s grand formation.
“Father, you’ve given me so much. My storage pouch is overflowing,” Mengmeng remarked. Li Su patted Mengmeng’s little head affectionately and said, “Then use a few more storage pouches.” After spending a few days, Li Su prepared to depart, leaving Mengmeng feeling somewhat reluctant.
“Fellow Taoist Li, I plan to visit the Northern Sea in a year, and I’ll need a reliable assistant to watch the sea for me. It may take up to two months, and if my sister can’t come with me, I’d like to invite you. Would you be interested?” Liu Xinyue extended an invitation when it was time for Li Su to leave.
