BXBX NOVEL Chapter 227
These four words momentarily left the three Nascent Soul cultivators in awe.
“Chu Sect Master, has the tortoise finally spoken?” inquired the Headmaster of Xuantian Academy.
The Headmaster of Myriad Beasts Sect nodded and affirmed, “Certainly.”
“Excellent!” The Headmaster of Xuantian Academy couldn’t help but exclaim, and his gaze towards Li Su became even more eager.
“Li Su, you’ve already accepted the daughter of the Emerald Sea, so I assume you are acquainted with our Returning Origin Sect. I’ve been in the Northern Territory for over a month now. Suppose you’re unwilling to leave the Northern Territory. In that case, we can offer you the position of an inner sect elder stationed in the Northern Territory,” suggested the Returning Origin Sect’s Sect Master.
“When the Sect Master emerges from seclusion, I will personally report to him. If you’re willing, the Sect Master can also accept you as a direct disciple. In the Returning Origin Sect, we can provide you with the same privileges as the Sacred Sons, offering you top-notch treatment,” the Dieyun Master added.
She didn’t make empty claims but instead presented the benefits that the Returning Origin Sect could provide. The positions of inner sect elder, a direct disciple of the Sect Master, and the same treatment as the Sacred Sons in the Returning Origin Sect were all enticing offers.
Furthermore, if Li Su preferred to stay in the Northern Territory, he wouldn’t have to leave. When these terms were presented, the Tianluo Sect Master’s expression turned somber. This time, the Returning Origin Sect had certainly displayed its sincerity, a concern he had feared the most. A first-rate immortal sect didn’t need to resort to unconventional methods. Simply by offering the utmost sincerity, they could wield considerable influence.
After presenting their offers, the Dieyun Master turned her attention to Li Su. The ultimate decision rested with him.
“Li Su, there’s no need for you to provide an immediate answer. Even if you decline, we won’t hold it against you. The four of us represent some of the most influential sects in the Canglan Realm, and we are the face of righteousness in this realm. We would never resort to underhanded tactics,” the Dieyun Master assured, glancing at the other three sect masters before continuing.
“Indeed, we follow the path of righteousness and do not engage in dark practices,” added the Headmaster of Xuantian Academy.
“Haha, Li Su, even if you join the Returning Origin Sect, my niece is still willing to marry you,” the Tianluo Sect Master said with a cheerful smile.
After a moment of consideration, Li Su finally spoke, “I am deeply thankful for the kindness of the esteemed seniors.” The first sentence expressed gratitude, but these three Nascent Soul cultivators, along with Chu Xi, the Sect Master of the Myriad Beasts Sect, were not as well-versed in novels and television shows as Li Su had been before his crossing. Otherwise, they would know that such a statement often carried a twist.
“However, I currently have no plans to join any other sect,” he continued, confirming the twist. This response didn’t come as too much of a surprise to the three sect masters and the Dieyun Master. They had already prepared themselves for such a possibility.
“I’m sure you’ve also noticed that my master and I are facing some issues. For the next century, I have no plans to leave the Northern Territory or join any other sect,” Li Su explained.
“Alright, let’s make it a hundred years. We’ll revisit this after a century. What do you say?” Li Su proposed.
A century!
This was also part of Li Su’s plan. He had no intention of joining any other sect, whether a first-grade immortal sect like the Returning Origin Sect or even a sacred sect. Joining such sects would mean much less freedom. The reason for suggesting a hundred years was to first establish some stability with these sects, not to shatter their hopes or make any irreversible decisions. It was a measure to prevent complications.
Li Su still didn’t know these sects very well, and he didn’t have a significant advantage when facing them with his current strength. Hence, he proposed a hundred-year agreement. A hundred years was not a long time, and Li Su’s strength would likely undergo significant changes by then.
“A hundred years isn’t too long. Very well, Li Su, we’ll await you for a century. If you ever need assistance during this time, just activate the Tianluo Token,” said the Tianluo Sect Master, being the first to agree. A century might not seem like much time to Nascent Soul cultivators with theoretically endless lifespans. The other sect masters also expressed their agreement.
With that, the efforts of these major sects in the Canglan Realm to recruit Li Su came to a close. The Tianluo Sect Master insisted on having Li Su marry Luo Yuxin. Seeing that Luo Yuxin appeared to be willing, Li Su didn’t refuse.
As a result, another wedding took place, lasting three months. This time, Li Su married Luo Yuxin, who had a third-grade spiritual root. The wedding was particularly grand since it involved the union of a disciple from a second-grade immortal sect. The Tianluo Sect made sure to display its strength and expanded the scale of the event. Representatives from the other realms and sects also attended the wedding.
Luo Yuxin did indeed have strong feelings for Li Su. At her current cultivation level, she was in the later stages of the Nascent Soul realm and had not yet broken through to the Divine Transformation stage. Her original plan was to marry Li Su and spend time with him before returning to the Tianluo Sect to continue her cultivation. This way, when Li Su visited the Tianluo Sect, he could gain a better understanding of it, making him more inclined to accept the sect.
However, Luo Yuxin quickly discovered that her plans had gone awry. After marrying Li Su, she followed in the footsteps of his previous consorts and began a cycle of continuous childbirth. The children she bore had good spiritual roots, with her first child possessing a fourth-grade spiritual root. But after the first, it wasn’t long before she had a second child, a third, and a fourth, all under Li Su’s diligent efforts.
Luo Yuxin, the pride of her second-grade immortal sect, felt somewhat overwhelmed. Paradoxically, as she bore child after child for Li Su, she became attached to him. She even started revealing a lot of the Tianluo Sect’s secrets. It seemed that love could make even the strongest woman vulnerable.
During these years, the sect masters remained in seclusion while Li Su continued his orderly practice of taking consorts. In the Water Moon Sect, there were still many foundational-stage female cultivators. Over a few years, Li Su’s name had become well-known in the other four realms. This time, no one regarded it as a rumor or legend.
“Incredible, Li Su’s achievements are real!”
“Yeah, the Northern Realm has produced such an extraordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. Is this the rise of a new power?”
In the Immortal City of the Central Realm, many cultivators discussed Li Su. His name had started to spread in the other realms as well.
