Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

Chapter 240

Dieyun Peak Master, also a first-grade spirit-root cultivator, struggled when she encountered bottlenecks. The appearance of bottlenecks was entirely unpredictable. High comprehension could often help avoid many bottlenecks, but individuals with high comprehension might suffer even more if they encounter one.

So, even though Li Su’s identity had not been confirmed yet, in Tiantian’s eyes, he was already shining brilliantly, making this first-grade spirit-root prodigy envious. Li Su had already been brought to the dedicated guest area by Dieyun Peak Master, which was the area where the heads of several second-rank immortal sects resided.

“Li Su, I didn’t expect to see you here!”

“Young friend, come and join us. Let’s discuss the Returning Origin Sect’s Nine Veins Unification Grand Formation.”

As soon as Li Su arrived, the masters of the Tianluo Sect and Xuantian Academy warmly greeted him. The head of the Spirit Beast Sect was also present.

The head of the Xuantian Academy had recently developed a great interest in formations, even though many of his female disciples had been lured away by Li Su one after another. He didn’t seem to mind, as the discussions with Li Su had greatly rewarded him.

For someone of his formation skill, it was quite a feat that he had managed to discern some of the mysteries of the Returning Origin Sect’s Nine Veins Unification Grand Formation. After bringing Li Su to this area, Dieyun Peak Master returned to her main seat, and the birthday celebration began shortly thereafter.

As the birthday celebration proceeded, the relationships between Li Su and the heads of several second-rank immortal sects were quickly revealed. With this, Li Su’s identity was completely confirmed.

“He really is Li Su!”

“Wow, it’s true!”

Within the Returning Origin Sect, after receiving this confirmed news, many of the guests and disciples were excited.

“Peak Master Dieyun’s special treatment of Li Su is undeniable evidence that Li Su is a prodigy. If he truly possesses an Immortal spiritual root and successfully transcends the Five Calamities of Heaven and Man, becoming immortal is practically guaranteed. I wonder if I’ll live to see that day.”

“Yes, who knows? The Returning Origin Sect might become a new sacred place thanks to him. I wonder if he will join the sect.”

“Building a sacred place isn’t that easy. Even if he’s a genius until he matures, he’s still just a genius.”

Inside the Returning Origin Sect, many guests were quietly discussing these matters.

The birthday celebration was still underway, and a hundred foundational cultivators from the Xuantian Academy were performing a sword dance. The sword dance, while a form of dance, was also a fully functional sword formation that could be used for performance and combat.

“That was amazing, Brother Lu. Your expertise in formation arrays is truly unmatched. This Xuantian Sword Dance is a delight to watch and incredibly potent in battle.”

After the performance concluded, the Sect Master of Tianluo praised.

The head of the Xuantian Academy, Master Lu, couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride upon hearing the praise from the Tianluo Sect Master.

“Senior Lu’s Xuantian Sword Formation is indeed formidable. With dozens of foundational cultivators, it can withstand Nascent Soul stage opponents. With hundreds of foundational cultivators, it can even resist Nascent Soul stage cultivators. However, if over a thousand cultivators form the array, wouldn’t this sword formation encounter some issues?”

Li Su inquired as he looked at the head of the Xuantian Academy.

The smug expression on the head of the Xuantian Academy’s face slowly faded away. He had intended to showcase his expertise in formation arrays, but to his surprise, Li Su had pointed out a flaw in his Xuantian Sword Formation.

“Young friend, do you understand formation arrays as well?” he asked with a hint of astonishment.

Li Su had effortlessly identified the flaw in his Xuantian Sword Formation.

“Indeed, his Xuantian Sword Formation was formidable. While ‘blocking’ and ‘defeating’ were different matters, the ability to have several hundred foundational cultivators form an array capable of withstanding a Nascent Soul cultivator was still impressive. However, the significant issue was that he could only manage up to one thousand people in the formation.”

“With more than a thousand people, even just one additional person, the operation of the sword formation would face issues, and if there were more people, the formation would collapse entirely. At that point, the cultivators within it would have to fend for themselves.”

Li Su modestly replied, “I have a bit of knowledge about it.”

The head of the Xuantian Academy didn’t believe Li Su’s claim and said, “Young friend, you always say ‘I have a bit of knowledge.’ These are all the key techniques of my Xuantian Sword Formation. Take a look and see if you can help me refine it.”

He handed Li Su a jade slip as he spoke, looking particularly eager. Not far away, although Peak Master Dieyun was watching the performance of the Tianluo Sect, most of her attention was focused on Li Su.

Not only her but also some elders and others from the Xuantian Sect in the vicinity had their eyes fixed on Li Su. His presence had certainly drawn a lot of attention.

Further away, many talented individuals from the Returning Origin Sect also observed Li Su. Even though they were considered geniuses, it was natural for them to have a touch of pride. However, some geniuses displayed their pride openly, while others kept it hidden.

When geniuses encountered each other, it was only natural that they would want to compare themselves. Li Su’s identity had been confirmed. These geniuses were undoubtedly curious about his exceptional qualities, having grown up in the barren Northlands.

Some geniuses who were a bit farther away hadn’t heard the conversation between Li Su and the head of the Xuantian Academy. However, seeing the respectful and inquisitive attitude of the academy’s head, a Refining Void expert, towards Li Su, the geniuses from the Returning Origin Sect couldn’t help but be curious about what Li Su and the head of the academy were discussing.

Because they were at a distance, some geniuses hadn’t heard Li Su’s conversation with the head of the Xuantian Academy. Nevertheless, observing the academy head’s respectful and inquisitive demeanor towards Li Su, a Refining Void expert, piqued the curiosity of the Returning Origin Sect’s geniuses about the nature of their conversation.

Li Su had just finished reading the jade slip provided by the head of the Xuantian Academy. “The formation, in terms of the connection to True Essence, doesn’t have significant issues, but there is much room for improvement in the placement of cultivators and their True Essence output,” Li Su said in a hushed tone. The head of the Xuantian Academy listened attentively and occasionally pondered Li Su’s words.

Peak Master Dieyun, quietly observing from the front, looked at Li Su with increasingly bright eyes, leaving her evaluation of him higher. The head of the Xuantian Academy had invested considerable time in his research on formations, making Li Su’s insights all the more impressive.
