Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

Chapter 130

After a fierce battle, both the remaining members of the sect and the Sea Clan army were severely wounded, but the Sea Clan forces remained dominant. Fortunately, they could hold their ground thanks to the restrictions in place. After sporadic fighting for over a thousand years, they still couldn’t overcome the Sea Clan army.

Seeing that they couldn’t win and leave, some cultivators who couldn’t hold on any longer left behind their legacies and created some legacy stone tablets. These legacy stone tablets were also meant for those destined to inherit them. Li Su had good luck as he was recognized by one of the largest legacy stone tablets as soon as he entered. Furthermore, this sect had been proficient in formations, and the largest legacy stone tablet originated from a formidable formation master.

The restrictions in this place had all been set up by the opposing side, and the cultivator responsible for them had reached the Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, the records within this largest legacy stone tablet primarily focused on formations and restrictions. These were not basic knowledge but rather specific layouts and implementations of formations and restrictions.

For Li Su, this was a remarkable find. The actual cultivation level of the original cultivator wasn’t the key factor. For a formation master, their cultivation level and expertise in formations were different. Indeed, formation masters with insufficient cultivation wouldn’t have had the opportunity to attain high levels of formation expertise, given their limited lifespan.

Li Su now had a solid foundation in formation knowledge, and his experience with formations served as the groundwork. What he lacked were specific formations and restrictions. If he were to try to figure them out on his own, it would consume a considerable amount of time and effort.

It seemed like a blessing from the heavens that he had nearly 3,000 years of formation experience. Learning the formations and restrictions contained within this legacy stone tablet would be a breeze. Someone like the Lord of the Falling Cloud Sect might not qualify to learn the formations and restrictions from within.

For Li Su, this was truly a stroke of luck. On this trip, he hadn’t expected to gain much. His primary goal was to find a reasonable explanation for his rapid cultivation progress. Li Su hadn’t expected such a stroke of good fortune, but now that he had this legacy stone tablet, he had a convenient explanation. He could simply say that he had obtained the largest legacy stone tablet, and the original cultivator had used a secret method to seal their cultivation inside before their death. In reality, this would be extremely difficult to achieve.

For cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, passing on their cultivation after reaching the end of their lifespan was not simple. It wasn’t like the martial arts novels where one could easily transmit inner skills. Even if possible, the recipient would likely suffer a significant loss, potentially even exploding due to excessive energy. There was also the risk of causing adverse effects, such as a substantial increase in cultivation in the short term, which could severely impact subsequent training, potentially even ruining the recipient.

However, in these ancient sect’s ruins, the cultivation techniques differed significantly from those in the present day. Li Su stored the legacy stone tablet and simply mentioned that his cultivation had once again increased. With this statement, others naturally had room for speculation. So, Li Su didn’t concern himself with anything else here and decided it was time to depart.

Outside, the sea beasts’ assault was ongoing.

“It can’t escape now!”

Under the combined efforts of a group of Nascent Soul cultivators, that highly cunning fourth-level sea beast had finally run out of options for escape. Even the sect leader had joined the siege against this fourth-level sea beast.

On the other side, Liu Xinshui’s younger sister, Liu Xinyue, was leading the Golden Core cultivators of the Water Moon Sect to deal with another group of sea beasts. This group didn’t include any fourth-level sea beasts, making handling somewhat simpler. Liu Xinyue looked almost identical to her sister, but her personality seemed more vivacious than the younger sibling.

Her vivacity was relative, considering her status as a Nascent Soul cultivator with over a thousand years of age. Outside, she seldom spoke. She had just slain a sea beast when suddenly, an extremely ferocious sea beast charged at her, opening its mouth wide.

“It’s fourth-level!”

Liu Xinyue’s expression changed, and she swiftly formed hand seals. A small, compact magic shield instantly expanded.

“Boom!”

The magic shield quivered under the impact, and Liu Xinyue felt like she had been struck heavily. Even her spiritual energy was shaken. The attack was too powerful, far exceeding her strength. Despite using a magic shield to block the attack, her entire body still trembled from the impact, much like when Li Su had used the Green Cloud Mirror to defend against an attack from the Saintess Mystic Moon.

With such potent attacks, a few more strikes like that, and she couldn’t hold on.

“Boom, boom, boom.”

As expected, the fourth-level demonic beast launched consecutive attacks.

“Xinyue!”

Liu Xinshui, who was engaged in a siege against another fourth-level sea beast, noticed this and was greatly alarmed. But it was too late. Liu Xinyue’s magic shield couldn’t withstand the relentless assault and was sent flying. The Golden Core cultivators around her attempted to intervene but couldn’t do anything against the sea beast.

As the attack came again, Liu Xinyue’s spiritual energy hadn’t even settled, and there was no time to evade. She was preparing to use her last resort to defend herself when suddenly, a figure appeared.

A burst of radiance erupted, forcefully intercepting the sea beast’s attack.

“Li Su!” Liu Xinyue exclaimed with joy.

“What? Has Fellow Taoist Li emerged?” The Nascent Soul cultivators around also looked in that direction, and when they saw Li Su’s figure, their joy was evident.

Li Su blocked the attack, and his aura emanated the presence of someone at Nascent Soul Stage Four. In the next moment, the Flying Immortal Sword rapidly struck out.
