Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

Chapter 183

Bai Ling provided more detailed information. The sea clan’s plan was quite straightforward. They intended to have the Mermaid clan lead to divert Li Su and the Nascent Transformation cultivators of the Blue Star Sect’s attention. Then, the other sea clans’ Nascent Transformation cultivators would simultaneously attack, defeating Li Su and the Blue Star Sect’s Nascent Transformation cultivators and recovering the sacred artifact fragments.

During his previous visit to the Northern Sea, Li Su had already told Bai Ling about his encounter with the Black Dragon, so when Bai Ling brought up this matter indirectly, Li Su understood her dilemma. On one side, he was her daughter’s father, and on the other, he was a member of her clan. But the fact that Bai Ling could discuss this matter with Li Su indicated that his position in her heart had become quite special. Bai Ling had developed a great deal of trust in Li Su as well.

This matter was, after all, a significant sea clan secret known only to the Nascent Transformation or higher-level sea clan members. Do these individuals still have an obsession with the sacred artifact fragments? Li Su pondered after receiving Bai Ling’s message. Several years ago, the Black Dragon had led a sudden attack on the Blue Star Sect with a group of over ten Nascent Transformation cultivators but had been repelled by Li Su.

These individuals were still fixated on it. Based on Bai Ling’s message, Li Su’s earlier speculations about the Northern Sea clans weren’t far off the mark. The sea clans of the Northern Sea were indeed more powerful than those in the northern region. Their vitality had already recovered rapidly.

Each clan probably had at least one Nascent Transformation cultivator. As for those above Nascent Transformation, Li Su felt it might not be the case. Beyond Nascent Transformation lay the Void Refinement stage, which was even more challenging. Without sufficient resources and time, reaching this level was virtually impossible.

While the Northern Sea might have superior recovery abilities compared to the land, after being boiled for tens of thousands of years, recovering some vitality was already quite an achievement. Giving birth to a Void Refinement cultivator requires more time than what is available now.

Not only was time insufficient, but the resources might also be inadequate. In the current northern region, the materials required for Nascent Transformation were quite scarce. Li Su, on the other hand, had never had to worry about personal cultivation. For any Nascent Transformation cultivator, it would likely be a cause for concern, and they might make choices similar to what Bihai did – seeking opportunities and resources in other regions.

Bihai needed resources that weren’t typical spiritual stones. Spiritual stones were abundant. What he required were items that could help him break through his cultivation bottlenecks and progress further. In the Nascent Transformation stage, if one’s spiritual roots weren’t sufficient, every level was a significant challenge. Unfortunately, Bihai had very poor spiritual roots, with only a fifth-grade spiritual root, which had already required all of his life’s effort and a stroke of luck to reach the Nascent Transformation stage.

Furthermore, relying solely on spiritual stones was insufficient, far from enough. This was because Bihai was racing against time. If he couldn’t win the race, he would meet his end. No matter how powerful he became, without life, what good would it do? Therefore, it was possible that the Northern Sea clans didn’t have anyone above the Nascent Transformation.

Otherwise, why wouldn’t they deploy Nascent Transformation cultivators or those above to seize the fragments? There could be another possibility. Within the Northern Sea clans, there might already be Nascent Transformation or higher-level cultivators who had been born or had remained from the past.

The reason they didn’t take action might be to avoid attracting attention from the northern region. Once they deploy Nascent Transformation or higher-level cultivators, the immortal sects in the Central Realm might react.

When the sea clans were repelled tens of thousands of years ago, the immortal sects from the Central Realm and other regions on this continent all intervened. Furthermore, the powerful individuals using Dao artifacts to boil the sea might also come from the Central Realm.

After all, the Blue Star Sect only had one Nascent Transformation cultivator and one fragment, so they wouldn’t want to reveal too much. Of course, all of this was Li Su’s speculation. Bai Ling didn’t know if there were Nascent Transformation or higher-level cultivators among the sea clans.

What exactly is this sacred artifact fragment? Li Su wondered. After repelling the sea clans the last time, Li Su refrained from asking Bihai about this possibility, as he suspected it might be a secret of the Blue Star Sect. This sacred artifact had led to a massive war tens of thousands of years ago. Yet, even after all this time, unrest still prevailed due to this item.

After considering the matter, Li Su advised Bai Ling not to rush things and then sought out Bi Luo. Bi Luo was now a mother to three children. Her feelings for Li Su had grown even deeper over time.

“Sacred artifact fragment? Husband, I’ve never heard of it,” Bi Luo replied.

“Does your father know anything about it?” Li Su asked.

Bi Luo shook her head. “My father has never mentioned it before. How about this? Let’s go back and ask Uncle Jin. If Uncle Jin also doesn’t know, I’ll use a messaging stone to ask my father.” “Alright,” Li Su agreed. So, Li Su and Bi Luo boarded a flying vessel and approached the Blue Star Sect. A few days later, they arrived at the sect. The cultivator Jin appeared to be in seclusion. However, upon receiving the notification, he concluded his seclusion and emerged.

“Elder Li,” the cultivator Jin addressed Li Su. After Bi Luo married Li Su, his title changed to “Elder.” That was because Li Su was still an elder of the Flying Immortal Sect. Among cultivators, precedence was given to those with higher achievements. Whoever was more powerful was considered the senior. However, since Bi Luo married Li Su, the cultivator Jin didn’t feel right addressing Li Su as an “Elder.”

This was because he had been with Bi Luo since she was a child and had seen her grow up. Bi Luo had always called him “Uncle,” and Li Su followed suit by addressing him as such. If he were to address Li Su as “Elder,” it would disrupt the seniority order.
