WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again!
Chapter 340

Chapter 340

These demonic cultivators might not possess robust individual power, but by staying deeply hidden, they make it more challenging to be discovered. They didn’t even have the qualifications to trigger the defensive formations that Li Su set up south of the Transcendence Corner. Li Su hadn’t intentionally sought them out. These individuals were like hidden pests that were challenging to find if one wanted to keep things clean. This might, however, give the impression that Li Su was wary of them.

Moreover, it would be a waste of time. From the perspective of the Demon Saint Sect, they believed they had plenty of time. After all, even for an immortal reincarnated as a mortal, progressing from fusion to perfect fusion, then enduring the Five Declines of Heaven and Man took a considerable amount of time. They assumed they had ample time. However, the members of the Demon Saint Sect were unaware of just how extraordinary the Li Su they would face truly was.

On the day Li Su crafted the twelfth Six Harmonies Sword, only eleven years had passed since he broke through fusion. Due to the Li family’s descendants reaching another million, Li Su received a substantial reward, propelling him to the second level of fusion. He leveled up again! Surprisingly, the rate of advancement after fusion was also quite rapid.

Certainly, the main benefit came from a wave of significant rewards and the accumulation of the past decade. Considering the current trend of the Li family’s descendants, a major reward for reaching over a million descendants could come every few decades. However, after reaching the second level of fusion, Li Su encountered another bottleneck.

The bottleneck issue wasn’t too troublesome. After the spiritual root descendants reached over a thousand again and accumulated some more cultivation, breaking through should be possible. I would like to upgrade to a Second-Grade Spiritual Root, Li Su thought. If he could attain a Second-Grade Spiritual Root, the chances of encountering bottlenecks would be reduced, although bottlenecks could appear unpredictably even with a First-Grade Spiritual Root.

In terms of the number of bottlenecks, a better spiritual root generally meant a lower probability of encountering them. The Saintess Zixue gave birth to four descendants with Heaven Spirit Roots, which significantly benefited Li Su. It brought him closer to the Second-Grade Spiritual Root, but there was still a considerable distance to cover. However, Li Su wasn’t overly anxious about it.

He still had plenty of time, and with the Primordial Sect and the Xuantian Academy providing support, he could continue to develop. Although breaking through a layer required more cultivation now, the pace in terms of time was astonishing. This way, he could take it step by step. Going too fast might cause issues.

Certainly, given the current situation, rapid progress wasn’t feasible.

“The supplies are running low again.”

After forging the twelfth Six Harmonies Sword, Li Su discovered a shortage of materials for crafting Dao artifacts. It was inevitable, considering his unique approach of assembling numerous artifacts into a single weapon.

While Li Su had obtained a substantial amount of materials from Xuantian Academy, after crafting the Six Harmonies Mirror and producing 36 Six Harmonies Swords, it became insufficient. Li Su intended to craft over a hundred Six Harmonies Swords. Each Six Harmonies Sword was intriguing, as a single one was equivalent to a small set of Dao artifacts.

A single Six Harmonies Sword could split into six, explaining why Li Su depleted the materials acquired from Xuantian Academy. His current Dao artifacts were of low-grade quality, specifically around the eighth grade. The power of Dao artifacts varied significantly, and the grading system had become more refined.

No longer classified as upper, middle, lower, and extreme grades, the system now ranged from ninth grade to first grade, then extreme grade. Ninth, eighth, and seventh grades represented lower-grade Dao artifacts, with every three grades constituting a sub-level. First-grade and above were considered extreme-grade Dao artifacts.

Although Li Su’s Six Harmonies Mirror and Six Harmonies Sword were individually eighth-grade, their combined power reached the seventh grade, roughly equivalent to a middle-grade Dao artifact. This was the advantage of Li Su’s method of combining Dao artifacts. The synergy also made wielding them more effortless, with a significant increase in power.

Transforming them into his life treasures and continuously nourishing them with true essence enhanced their versatility and unpredictability in terms of power.

“Let’s leave it at this for now,” Li Su decided. Crafting this set of Dao artifacts took over a decade, and now, they were complete.

Reaching the second level of fusion, Li Su was ready to acquire immortal artifact fragments. However, news from the Western Sea changed his plans. The Queen of the Western Sea, Long Kui, was about to break through fusion. Li Su immediately headed to the Western Sea.

“Su~.”

Long Han saw Li Su and revealed a joyful smile.

“Father~.”

Li Ruoshui also arrived, having grown into a charming young girl. She rushed into Li Su’s arms. Li Ruoshui, nearing twenty, had already reached the mid-foundation Establishment stage.

However, Li Ruoshui, due to her prolonged seclusion, became even more attached to Li Su. Even though she was nearly twenty, she still wanted Li Su to carry her. In the western part of the Western Sea, Long Kui began her breakthrough. The White Dragon Clan acted swiftly to prevent any disturbances from being sensed by those in the Eastern Sea.

Although the Western Sea was small, the White Dragon Clan managed it effectively. The boundary between the Western Sea and the Southern Sea was even smaller, preventing Eastern Sea clans from infiltrating. Li Su had also set up a restriction at the boundary between the Western Sea and the Southern Sea, ensuring their privacy.

However, Li Su wanted to keep Long Kui’s breakthrough a secret, temporarily preventing the Eastern Sea from finding out. He intended to wait for the Eastern Sea to make a move to understand their intentions and strength.

A few months later, Long Kui successfully broke through fusion, overcoming the tribulation. She now stood as a fusion expert.

Li Su now had two fusion experts among his women.

“Su!”

After breaking through the fusion, Long Kui immediately threw herself into Li Su’s arms. She almost failed, just a small margin away from death. The crucial factor was a pill crafted by Li Su, intensifying Long Kui’s feelings for him.

This significantly intensified the Queen of the Western Sea’s feelings for Li Su. After narrowly escaping a life-and-death situation, Long Kui’s love for Li Su was now evident on her face, much to the chagrin of her younger sister, Long Han, and the Queen of the Southern Sea, Ruo Wei, who were metaphorically drowning in the sweetness of their relationship.
