Chapter 189


    Dark clouds swiftly gathered in the sky, heralding the most critical moment for You Yue. Her sessful passage through this tribtion would ensure a smooth journey in the Nascent Soul stage. Failure, on the other hand, meant certain death and aplete reset.


    “It appears that this world isn’t very amodating for practitioners of dark arts,” Li Su noted as he observed. While other cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage could temporarily suppress their aura to dy the arrival of the tribtion, it was a temporary measure, allowing them time to strengthen themselves. However, for dark cultivators like You Yue, the tribtion arrived instantly upon breaking through to a new realm, leaving no time for preparation.


    A thunderous boom signaled the first tribtion bolt, which was over ten times more potent than Li Su’s first tribtion. It was a formidable challenge, and You Yue’s face paled as if the heavens were pushing her to her limits.


    “You Yue, activate the grand array!” Li Sumanded. You Yue had already used her defensive treasures to shield herself from the attack. She then activated the grand array, a clever way to navigate the tribtion.


    This method wouldn’t be suitable for most cultivators, as their tribtions, apart from the tribtion period itself, weren’t typically as challenging. Taking shortcuts could diminish the benefits gained from the tribtion.


    The power of the tribtions continued to increase, and Li Su felt an increasing sense of urgency. Without all the preparations he had made, You Yue’s chances of reaching Nascent Soul would have been low.


    The tribtions continued to fall, but Li Su’s preparations, along with the protection of defensive treasures, allowed You Yue to withstand the onught sessfully. After several hours, the tribtion clouds finally dissipated, and You Yue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She had sustained injuries, but she had crossed the terrifying dark cultivator’s Nascent Soul tribtion.


    At this moment, she had sessfully attained the Nascent Soul stage. Among Li Su’s women, two had reached this level – Bai Ling and now You Yue.


    In a few more years, the sect leader would also be a Nascent Soul cultivator. You Yue, overwhelmed with joy and love, embraced Li Su after bing a Nascent Soul. Gu Yue, witnessing her happiness, felt a touch of envy.Following You Yue’s achievement, Li Su organized a wedding ceremony for her. However, You Yue kept her dark cultivation level concealed.


    Following this, Li Su held another wedding ceremony, this time for Gu Yue. On their wedding day, Gu Yue felt particrly anxious in their bridal chamber. Li Su gently raised her bridal veil. Gu Yue, with her delicate, girl-like personality, sparked a special desire in Li Su.


    As a result, several monthster, Gu Yue became pregnant with Li Su’s first child. As for You Yue, she focused on solidifying her cultivation in the Li family estate. She had already reached the third level of the Heavenly Demon Seal. Until she reached this stage, the Heavenly Demon wouldn’tpletely trust her. Of course, You Yue had already mastered the Heavenly Demon Seal, and she could add moreyers, even up to 18 if necessary. However, she didn’t want to do it recklessly. She intended to use the Heavenly Demon Seal efficiently to extract more benefits from the Heavenly Demon, which would elerate her future growth.


    As her cultivation level increased, each addedyer to the Heavenly Demon Seal would grant her even more power from the Heavenly Demon. You Yue spected that the current Heavenly Demon Pce likely had Nascent Soul cultivators as their strongest members, with no one above the Nascent Soul stage.


    Each Nascent Soul cultivator was considered a valuable asset in the eyes of the Heavenly Demon. As she continued to extract benefits from the Heavenly Demon, her efforts would be even more rewarding. Once You Yue managed to break through to a stage beyond Nascent Soul, she would have significant influence and authority within the Heavenly Demon Pce. The Heavenly Demon would likely treat her with great respect, even as a little ancestor.


    It would be intriguing to see the expression on the Heavenly Demon’s face when they realized that You Yue had gained control over the Heavenly Demon Seal.


    After Gu Yue gave birth to Li Su’s first child, it didn’t take long for her to be pregnant again. Her unique constitution and not particrly outstanding spiritual roots resulted in her children having special qualities. The first child had a Pure Body constitution, which had the advantage of being less susceptible to demonic influences. Their spiritual roots were also of the fifth rank, which was considered quite good. With the resources Li Su had at his disposal, there should be no problem in helping this child reach the Nascent Soul stage in due time, although it would require patience.


    “Well, dear husband, how did this happen again?” Gu Yue asked with surprise. Gu Yue quickly followed in You Yue’s footsteps, and one child after another was born. It was Li Su’s habit that once he took someone as a concubine, he would focus on bearing children during the first few years, trying to have as many as possible. This way, his concubines could concentrate on their cultivationter on. After all, cultivation was the primary focus for cultivators, and Li Su had enough time to take care of all his concubines.


    “Su, our daughter wants to see her daddy.” One day, the conch shell sounded again, and it was a message from Bai Ling. Their daughter wanted to see her father. It made sense because,pared to the other descendants, Li Ling’er had spent a long time in the Northern Sea and hadn’t had many chances to see her father. Their daughter was now over ten years old. Thest time they met, Li Ling’er was just a few years old, and they were discussing the matter of the Holy Artifact Fragments in the Northern Sea.


    Time had indeed passed quickly. After making arrangements at home, Li Su set off and soon arrived at the Northern Sea. He made his way to a settlement that the Mermaid had reconstructed. It was the same underwater mountain range as their previous meeting, but the Mermaid had fortified it even more.


    “Father~” As soon as he arrived, a teenage girl leaped into Li Su’s arms. This was his precious daughter, Li Ling’er. She was currently in her two-legged form, but possessing a Royal Mermaid bloodline, she had the ability to transform into a fish-tailed form, which was her strongestbat state.


    For several consecutive days, Li Ling’er clung to Li Su and followed him wherever he went, not giving him much opportunity to catch up with her ethereal-like mother. After a few more days, an unexpected guest arrived. Li Su quickly recognized the visitor, the Mermaid girl who could transform into a ck dragon, who had been with them previously.
