Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

Chapter 210

The Dieyun Peak Master paused mid-sentence, sensing an anomaly. She came to a halt, extending her spiritual awareness in all directions. Her spiritual awareness covered a vast area spanning countless miles, yet she couldn’t discern the source of the strange disturbance.

“This fluctuation…”

A puzzled expression crossed the Dieyun Peak Master’s eyes.

“Could it be someone constructing their immortal foundation?”

Suddenly, her expression shifted as she realized something. Her form flickered, and she rapidly departed from the location, appearing at the main peak of the Returning Origin Sect.

“Elder Xiu, activate the Celestial Observatory,” she instructed.

“Yes, Dieyun Peak Master,” Elder Xiu acknowledged.

With a resounding boom, an immense, spiral-shaped artifact was activated, its interior resembling floating and rotating stars.

“From which direction is it emanating?”

“The north!”

The Dieyun Peak Master’s gaze turned northward, and in her mind, she recollected the rumors she had just heard.

“Elder Xiu, I need to go out for a while. If anything occurs, employ the Returning Origin Token, and the Peak Masters of the other two peaks will emerge from their seclusion,” Dieyun instructed as she handed a small token to Elder Xiu. She then transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky, vanishing on the horizon.

“This disturbance… Could it be that there’s an extraordinary genius on the northern border? No, I must go and witness it firsthand. I cannot allow the Returning Origin Sect to take the lead.”

While Dieyun Peak Master was in motion, on the other side, another individual had quietly set forth.

The stir caused by the sect leader’s foundation construction had awakened quite a few individuals.

“Xian Yun… She’s the sole possessor of celestial spiritual roots in the past five centuries. It must be her. After an extensive search, I never anticipated finding her in this region. This is ideal. I can fulfill my mission this time!”

Out on the expansive sea, a person’s face lit up with excitement, and they produced a mystical artifact. With remarkable swiftness, they headed towards the northern border.

“Boom!”

In the sky, a colossal thunderbolt descended.

The sect leader’s countenance remained unchanged as they summoned an artifact to disperse it. This thunderbolt proved significantly mightier than before, underscoring the perils of constructing an immortal foundation. The construction of an immortal foundation was exclusive to those with celestial spiritual roots.

Other spiritual foundations, even those at the first tier, could not construct an eternal base. The danger in this process lay in the fact that while the sect leader’s Nascent Divinity trial had concluded, during the creation of their immortal foundation, thunderbolts continued to strike.

The potency of these thunderbolts exceeded that of the Nascent Divinity trial and grew stronger with each successive bolt. This was the third thunderbolt, and its strength had already surpassed the most formidable Nascent Divinity trial. Its power equaled the calamities faced during the Nascent Divinity transformation.

If a few more thunderbolts followed, their collective power would surpass even the Nascent Divinity calamity. The current predicament the sect leader faced was even more dangerous than that of a Nascent Divinity transformation.

Mystic Moon could effectively handle the thunderstorm because, during her Nascent Divinity trial, she could manage the shockwaves. The sect leader, however, couldn’t afford significant disruptions in their divine essence while constructing an immortal foundation. The longer the sect leader delayed, the more precarious the situation became. It had been ten days, and the sect leader hadn’t succeeded.

During these ten days, the northern border remained calm. The disturbance caused by constructing the immortal foundation didn’t even register in the perception of the northern border cultivators.

Observing the sect leader undergoing such a turbulent and dangerous process, Li Su couldn’t help but gain more confidence in his “golden finger.” Even if the sect leader constructed an immortal foundation, her divine essence wouldn’t compare to Li Su’s when they were at the same level.

Li Su’s unique golden-purple Nascent Divinity was truly exceptional. Celestial spiritual roots were incredibly rare and took thousands of years to appear within an entire region. Only with a celestial, spiritual root could one ascend to the Immortal Ascension stage and barely attain the status of a golden-purple Nascent Divinity.

Based on the sect leader’s description, Li Su could roughly deduce the condition of the sect leader’s Nascent Divinity after constructing the immortal foundation. Firstly, the sect leader’s Nascent Divinity was far less substantial than Li Su’s at the same stage. Second, the sect leader’s golden-purple Nascent Divinity had a noticeable gap compared to Li Su’s.

Furthermore, when Li Su’s Nascent Divinity transformed into a golden purple, there wasn’t much commotion. This was a valuable point, as excessive disturbances weren’t always a good thing, especially when you lacked a powerful background. The sect leader was currently facing many unpredictable risks.

Li Su had already taken precautions. He had even instructed the Li family and the Water Moon Sect to activate their grand formations and conceal themselves. As time passed, another day swiftly went by. No news is good news, thought Li Su. His gaze scanned the surroundings, and his spiritual awareness covered the entire area within a radius of a thousand miles. If he focused on one direction, his spiritual awareness could naturally reach farther. Still, at the moment, he needed to create a vigilant perimeter, covering a wide area within a thousand miles.

After a peaceful day, Li Su sensed someone entering within a thousand miles on the second day. He detected me! Li Su thought.

On the other side, concealed in the shadows, the Dieyun Peak Master was somewhat surprised. She was the first to arrive at this location and had planned to hide in the shadows to observe the situation. However, she didn’t anticipate that as she approached within a thousand miles, Li Su would sense her presence remarkably quickly.
