Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

Not only did the Returning Origin Sect Master blush but even the Dieyun Peak Master herself turned red. She and the Returning Origin sect leader share a bond like a mother and daughter, and their relationship is excellent. However, now she wished to let her husband…

"Sect Master, I'm stepping out first. Husband, please hurry. Sect Master, time is short."

After Peak Master Dieyun dropped those words, she departed. Could she really stay here?

With Peak Master Dieyun gone, only Li Su and the Returning Origin Sect Master remained.

At this moment, even Li Su felt the air freeze.

Why did Dieyun leave just like that?

In fact, the powerful Sect Master of Returning Origin, currently undergoing tribulation, felt a bit at a loss after Dieyun suddenly left. No matter how strong her abilities or how high her cultivation, facing such a situation suddenly… she had never experienced anything like this in her entire life. How could she not feel flustered, especially considering she was currently weakest?

The constant onslaught of the tribulation had a significant impact on her. Every cultivator experiencing the Five Calamities of Heaven and Man needed to combat these calamities without a moment's pause. Any relaxation would allow the calamity to inch closer. Additionally, some negative effects left behind lingering repercussions.

For instance, the first calamity, "Form Calamity," if not attended to carefully, could rapidly age a person or cause physical damage, drastically altering their appearance and demeanor. This was something female cultivators could not accept. After all, which woman didn't love beauty? Even female cultivators, despite being cultivators, deeply cherish beauty.

According to the Sect Master's aunt, the ancestor of the Eastern Family, before enduring the Five Calamities of Heaven and Man, appeared exceptionally young, seemingly in his thirties, exuding a charming and dashing aura. While not comparable with Li Su, he was considered quite handsome.

However, the last time Li Su saw him, the person appeared extremely aged, which was the aftermath of the first calamity. Moreover, this was irreversible. Once through the first calamity, even if they nourished themselves daily with true elements or used rare heavenly treasures, it was impossible to reverse the effects.

Once they had gone through the first calamity, in terms of "form," they were considered to have reached adulthood, and there would not be further changes. It set their appearance. Therefore, the last time they met, the Sect Master of Returning Origin didn't speak or even show any expression—to avoid breaking that set form.

This time, it was likely that the Sect Master of Returning Origin felt despair, realizing there was no escape, which led her to speak about her final arrangements. She intended to entrust the Returning Origin Sect to Peak Master Dieyun and Li Su. She would take a desperate gamble, facing a situation with little hope of survival. However, having lived through countless long years, the Sect Master of Returning Origin quickly steadied her heart.

Though Dieyun's suggestion might seem a bit embarrassing, if it truly proved effective, it might be worth a try. Especially considering Li Su had left a very favorable impression on her, subconsciously lessening her resistance. Otherwise, even if facing death, she would rather perish than gamble on a probability with someone she held animosity towards.

However, it was just too awkward. Consequently, in the room, both the Sect Master of Returning Origin and Li Su remained silent for a long time.

"Li Su, will it really work?" After some time, the voice of the Sect Master of Returning Origin finally broke the silence. "It should have some effect, but the Sect Master's heart must accept me," Li Su replied. This was certain.

Inner acceptance was necessary. Like a few witches, even though they helped Li Su by having more children and enabling Li Su to receive rewards for the children, those witches hadn't enjoyed the system's bonuses yet. It was because they had ulterior motives towards Li Su, wanting to pull her into witchcraft. The rewards from childbirth and the system's bonuses were still different.

Giving birth only required that they didn't resist Li Su. To enjoy the system's bonuses, they needed to completely abandon their plans to pull Li Su into witchcraft and fully accept her. The Primordial Sect Master, with a soft voice, said, "Come." Then, the light in the room quietly vanished. The entire room turned into darkness.

Even though this darkness meant nothing to Li Su, everything around him became incredibly clear as his divine sense swept through. However, it was natural for divine sense not to recklessly probe in such a situation. Without applying magical techniques to the eyes, even cultivators' eyes would perceive nothing but darkness in such circumstances.

The principle behind the ability of eyes to see things remained the same through visible light. They could see only when the light shone on an object and reflected into their eyes. However, practitioners of cultivation, nurtured by their true essence, greatly expanded the amount of light their eyes could perceive.

If they deliberately focused on light, such as infrared or certain rays that required specialized instruments to be seen, they could be perceived by adept cultivators. However, apart from occasional instances during their cultivation, cultivators typically chose not to see these phenomena. The myriad objects in their sightline tended to be too distracting, which wasn't beneficial for their focus.

Li Su didn't see it either, so his vision remained dark. Sometimes, darkness was the best cloak and a catalyst. For example, as the surroundings darkened, the atmosphere in this room slowly changed. After uttering three words, the Grandmaster of the Returning Origin sect fell silent and spoke no more.

Her entire life was spent mostly in cultivation. Would she even want to engage in emotional communication?
