Chapter 334
After overcoming the first calamity of Heaven and Man, one’s true strength was recognized. Currently, the head of the Returning Origin Sect was, in fact, slightly weaker than perfect Unity. Her aura wasn’t particularly stable, and Li Su felt she was in a constant struggle against the calamity.
At this moment, the Returning Origin Sect’s head seemed to sense something. Her hands move, and numerous restrictions appear around her. Then, she enters into those restrictions, where a large number of purple thunderbolts suddenly gather around her.
These purple thunderbolts didn’t have a spectacular momentum, but to Li Su, they felt much more formidable than the thunder tribulation faced by cultivators. They even seemed to be of a higher level than the thunder tribulation faced by demonic cultivators. Was this what tribulation looked like? Not only did one have to contend with personal calamities, but occasional thunderbolts also paid a visit.
Dealing with personal tribulations already left one more vulnerable, and then there was the heavenly tribulation! This is a minor heavenly tribulation. There could be more formidable ones at intervals. No wonder the Five Calamities of Heaven and Man were considered more dreadful than the Great Tribulation.
“Su, the head has been in seclusion all along. In fact, the less she moves, the better. We also need to avoid drawing attention to her undergoing tribulation. After dealing with the commotion caused by the demonic cultivator, she took some time to settle her aura before coming here,” Peak Master Dieyun whispered. Returning Origin Sect’s head remained silent throughout, showing no expression on her face.
Peak Master Dieyun was a bit worried that Li Su might misinterpret the Returning Origin Sect’s head’s demeanor. Li Su, however, caught her hand gently and reassured her, saying, “Dieyun, I understand.” The fact that the Returning Origin Sect’s head came here already indicated her stance, signifying a high level of trust in Li Su. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have let Li Su know that she was undergoing tribulation, especially when the first calamity had not yet passed!
This was precisely when she was in a weakened state. Peak Master Dieyun’s face turned red when she saw Li Su holding her hand, as Returning Origin Sect’s head had just returned.
“Sect Master, since you’ve come out of seclusion, it’s perfect timing. How about we proceed with the wedding between me and Dieyun?” Li Su was quite straightforward and even brought up the matter. Peak Master Dieyun’s face turned even redder.
As a result, preparations for a grand wedding began swiftly in the Canglan Realm. This wedding was for Li Su and Peak Master Dieyun, a ceremony between two formidable individuals who had achieved Unity. The wedding was incredibly extravagant. Whether it was a marriage or taking a concubine, Peak Master Dieyun didn’t bring up the matter, and Li Su intentionally overlooked it.
Back when Li Su’s strength was not as formidable, he eagerly hoped that the sect master would bear his child. The sect master was his first choice for a wife in his heart. As more women entered his life, each of them devotedly in love with Li Su, his emotions deepening, he gradually began to overlook this point deliberately.
With his current strength, such societal norms gradually faded into insignificance. Among his women, there were those with varying levels of strength. Many of his women lived quietly without any fame, while others were exceptionally talented. However, every wedding Li Su held was conducted with the ceremonial procedures of taking a wife and was grand in scale. The interpretation of these weddings might vary for others.
For someone like Peak Master Dieyun, others would surely perceive it as Li Su taking a wife this time, especially since she had already achieved Unity. How others interpreted it was beyond Li Su’s concern.
“In charge, he’s marrying Peak Master Dieyun!” Within the Li residence, as Li Su was about to marry Peak Master Dieyun, the green-robed girl seemed a bit anxious.
Although Peak Master Dieyun had already given birth to a child for Li Su, they hadn’t had a formal wedding. Now, with the wedding preparations underway, did this mean that Li Su was preparing to establish a lasting connection with the Returning Origin Sect?
“Lord Feng Tian has arrived. Let’s go meet her in Su City,” Zixue Saintess suggested.
“Lord Feng Tian has arrived?”
Upon hearing this news, the green-robed girl was overjoyed. A Lord had actually come. In the sacred grounds, the status of a Sovereign was higher than that of an elder, and their numbers were also fewer. Many geniuses found it challenging to progress from Unity to perfect Unity. Even after achieving perfect Unity, many hesitated to provoke the Five Calamities of Heaven and Man recklessly.
The Five Calamities of Heaven and Man were truly terrifying. With the passage of time, each calamity became increasingly formidable. The first calamity alone claimed the lives of many. Therefore, even those in perfect Unity within the sacred grounds would choose to isolate themselves from the heavenly secrets, feign death, and enter a deep slumber. They waited for the sacred grounds to accumulate more resources to support them after overcoming the tribulation before reemerging.
The two of them quickly arrived in Su City. Inside an inn, they met Lord Feng Tian. Lord Feng Tian was also a woman, exuding a noble temperament, giving the impression of a phoenix dancing in the sky.
“Lord,” Saintess Zixue greeted with a bow.
Lord Feng Tian nodded slightly. “Zixue, you’ve worked hard.”
Then, she spoke.
“Lord, it’s not hard,” Zixue Saintess replied straightforwardly. Lord Feng Tian’s gaze lingered on her.
“I heard that Li Su is going to marry Dieyun?” she asked.
“Yes, Lord. However, before that, Dieyun had already given birth to a child for Li Su,” Zixue Saintess said. She had already relayed this information back to the Xuantian Sect.
Lord Feng Tian seemed to be aware of this news as well. After a moment of contemplation, she asked, “How certain are you that Li Su is a reincarnated immortal?”
“Lord, Zixue is at least 90% certain. If Li Su is not a reincarnated immortal, there could only be a few other unfavorable possibilities. However, Li Su doesn’t exhibit the signs of those situations,” Zixue Saintess explained.
After a pause, she continued, “However, the troublesome part is that Li Su probably won’t be willing to undergo various tests and examinations from the sacred grounds. He has already grown up, unlike the two small reincarnated immortals from the past.”
Lord Feng Tian nodded.
Protecting a reincarnated immortal was something all sacred grounds were eager to do, but for the sake of prudence, they would undoubtedly confirm the identity first. If the identity were uncertain, there would be an element of gambling involved. In case they bet wrong, the losses could be significant. Although, at present, it seemed highly likely that Li Su was a reincarnated immortal.
The two previous reincarnated immortals were relatively uncomplicated because they were discovered when they were still very young. However, Li Su was different. He had already grown up and reached the Unity stage. Yet, the current situation differed from the past because the strength of the Demon Sect was growing, and now there was an additional Demon Sect Holy Ground.
This was a situation that did not exist in the past. It meant that Li Su was facing more and greater dangers now. Lord Feng Tian seemed to be pondering. After a few moments, she spoke again.

“Zixue, the academy intends to marry you to Li Su. Are you willing?” Lord Feng Tian asked Saintess Zixue.
