Chapter 332
The sect leader expressed concern for Li Su, who reached fusion in just over five hundred years. She anticipated a significant reaction, with many sacred lands attempting to recruit him and the Demon Sect taking notice.
Li Su reassured her, “When I was weaker, I never worried. Let those insignificant ones come now.” Despite his rapid rise, Li Su remained composed, facing challenges with unwavering confidence.
The sect leader pointed out the potential danger of a woman who might target both of them. Li Su, unfazed, assured her, “Sect leader, there’s no need to worry,” gently holding her hand.
Li Su’s rapid ascension and his ability to effortlessly handle adversaries became his charm. Even in the face of formidable enemies, Li Su remained calm and capable, a trait the sect leader had witnessed for centuries.
Liu Xiaowan, Li Su’s wife, arrived, expressing admiration for his fusion achievement. The sect leader, content that Li Su was unharmed, ended her conversation with him.
As time passed, news of Li Su’s fusion breakthrough spread throughout the Central States, known by numerous cultivators. However, reaching the entire Canglan Realm would take more time, as many cultivators were still in seclusion.
In the northern border, a substantial number of Nascent Soul and Core Formation cultivators from various realms had already arrived. As Peak Master Dieyun approached fusion, these cultivators were not only amazed by Li Su’s progress but also pleased with the growing strength of the Canglan Realm.
The more formidable a realm became, the greater benefits ordinary cultivators could naturally enjoy. Another half month passed, and finally, one day, the aura of Peak Master Dieyun abruptly changed. Countless butterflies seemed to appear within a range of tens of thousands of miles.
Li Su understood the reason behind the celestial phenomenon caused by Peak Master Dieyun—it was the fusion of the Heavenly Heart into her body. The phenomenon she caused was quite fitting with her name. It didn’t last long before subsiding. Immediately after, Peak Master Dieyun stood up. She had succeeded, breaking through to fusion.
Shortly after, the tribulation arrived. At the moment of Peak Master Dieyun’s breakthrough, Gongsun Zhi, aboard a flying boat, finally returned to the Tianlan Realm. The Purple-Golden Holy Land, at the core of the Tianlan Realm, was a gathering place for countless spiritual veins, with its core area floating in the sky.
“After we return, if you want the sacred land to compensate for our losses, just follow my instructions,” Gongsun Zhi’s voice echoed from the flying boat. For the past month, he had been recuperating, and despite not fully healing, he conveyed his plan to have the sacred land cover their losses.
Lu Huai’an’s complexion was equally pale. The virtuoso in refining, despite being injured by Li Su, couldn’t sit still. These three individuals had been thoroughly taken advantage of by Li Su, losing all their spirit stones and precious treasures.
As they discussed their situation, a streak of light approached, carrying a transmission symbol. Faster than the sacred land’s flying boat, it was directed at Gongsun Zhi. After absorbing the contents, his expression changed drastically.
“Elder, what happened?” Lu Huai’an inquired. Gongsun Zhi, in turn, shared the information with him and the other refining expert. Their expressions changed as they absorbed the shocking news.
“This… how is this possible?” The refining expert stammered in disbelief. Lu Huai’an, a virtuoso in refining, couldn’t believe it either, despite being a powerhouse himself.
“Elder, could this information be mistaken?” Lu Huai’an finally spoke up after a considerable pause.
“Anping is very reliable in his work. The accuracy of this information should be quite high,” Gongsun Zhi expressed his trust.
“But how is that possible? Before the age of six hundred, reaching the fusion stage, even with immortal roots, it shouldn’t be this fast!” Lu Huai’an voiced his doubts.
“It’s also possible. What if Li Su is a reincarnated immortal?” The other refining expert suggested. Those four words caught Lu Huai’an’s attention.
He knew the origin of the Purple-Golden Holy Land and recalled a confidential file about a reincarnated immortal within. Though he lacked access, he had heard that the growth of that immortal was astonishingly rapid.
“We might have caused a huge disaster this time!” Gongsun Zhi slapped his head, expressing deep regret. A huge disaster indeed!
Lu Huai’an and another refining expert shared a similar sentiment. If Li Su truly were a reincarnated immortal, the Purple-Golden Holy Land would spare no effort to win him over as their protector. Even the power behind the Purple-Golden Prince might not be able to prevent it, considering that this power, though formidable, wasn’t the ultimate authority of the sacred land.
In this predicament, they almost irrevocably offended Li Su. It was a colossal blunder. Gongsun Zhi regretted not staying in seclusion during this time, especially as he now faced the consequences of encountering the Purple-Golden Prince seeking a small favor.
Realizing the potential consequences of his actions, Gongsun Zhi decided to report to Lord Thunder Sword while instructing his companions to disseminate the information to other lords and high-ranking members of the sacred land. He also wanted news about Dongfang Xue conveyed to Lord Yunyan.
Gongsun Zhi reflected on the misinformation he received about Dongfang Xue, realizing that he might have been manipulated. He regretted becoming an unwitting accomplice in obstructing Dongfang Xue’s return to the Returning Origin Sect. Now, he is not only Li Su but possibly Lord Yunyan as well.
Despite his regret, Gongsun Zhi formulated a plan. Meanwhile, in the Li residence, Dieyun’s successful breakthrough added another formidable fusion stage expert to the Returning Origin Sect. The green-clad girl contemplated the sect’s strength and its positive relationship with Li Su, thinking that being his protector as a first-class immortal sect was sufficient.
As the thunder tribulation ended, Dieyun Peak’s master appeared before Li Su, inquiring about the whereabouts of the Purple Gold Holy Land’s representatives and their sect master. To her surprise, Liu Xiaowan informed her that Li Su’s husband had already driven away the people from the Purple Gold Holy Land.
