BXBX NOVEL Chapter 189
“It appears that this world isn’t very accommodating 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 delay the arrival of the tribulation, it was a temporary measure, allowing them time to strengthen themselves. However, for dark cultivators like You Yue, the tribulation arrived instantly upon breaking through to a new realm, leaving no time for preparation.
A thunderous boom signaled the first tribulation bolt, which was over ten times more potent than Li Su’s first tribulation. 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 Su commanded. 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 tribulation.
This method wouldn’t be suitable for most cultivators, as their tribulations, apart from the tribulation period itself, weren’t typically as challenging. Taking shortcuts could diminish the benefits gained from the tribulation.
The power of the tribulations 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 tribulations continued to fall, but Li Su’s preparations, along with the protection of defensive treasures, allowed You Yue to withstand the onslaught successfully. After several hours, the tribulation 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 tribulation.
At this moment, she had successfully 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 become a Nascent Soul cultivator. You Yue, overwhelmed with joy and love, embraced Li Su after becoming 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 particularly 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 months later, 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’t completely trust her. Of course, You Yue had already mastered the Heavenly Demon Seal, and she could add more layers, 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 accelerate her future growth.
As her cultivation level increased, each added layer to the Heavenly Demon Seal would grant her even more power from the Heavenly Demon. You Yue speculated that the current Heavenly Demon Palace 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 become 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 Palace. 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 become pregnant again. Her unique constitution and not particularly 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 cultivation later 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, compared 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. The last 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 strongest combat 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 black dragon, who had been with them previously.
