Chapter 255
While the disdain may not have been overt, it was palpable. Disciples from the holy academies were indeed quite different. A re Nascent Soul-stage cultivator had degraded a first-grade immortal sect to worthlessness. “Is this all the sincerity the Holy Heaven Academy has to offer?” Li Su had lost interest in hearing more and interrupted the cultivator’s speech. The cultivator Xu was montarily shocked. “Does I only deserve a Nascent Soul-stage cultivator from the Holy Heaven Academy to extend the invitation? Or perhaps you think your Nascent Soul-stage status is more valuable than mine?” Li Su gazed at the cultivator Xu and spoke with a calm tone. His flat voice carried an inexplicable pressure that weighed on the Xu cultivator. “Senior, please do not misunderstand. I ca here to make initial contact with you. After all, the Returning Origin Sect has the final say in the Canglan Realm. If you are interested, once I report back, the academy’s elders will personally co to establish contact with you,” the Xu cultivator hurriedly explained.
“Is that so? If the Holy Heaven Academy is as powerful as you claim, why would it be concerned about the Returning Origin Sect, a first-grade immortal sect?” Li Su questioned. Cultivator Xu repeated, “Senior, it’s not that way. It’s mainly due to the regulations of the Immortal Alliance…” He quickly explained, breaking into a nervous sweat. Li Su waved his hand dismissively, “No need to say more. If you truly have sincerity, you should know my preferences. You can skip the elders and send one or two saintly maidens, and then I might consider it.” The cultivator Xu was montarily stunned. Li Su’s words left him a bit bewildered.
One or two saintly maidens… Indeed, holy academies often appointed saintly sons and daughters, and the Holy Heaven Academy was no exception. However, the saintly maidens of the Holy Heaven Academy were not sothing Xu Kejin could easily access. Saintly maidens were naturally geniuses, often possessing imnse pride and formidable strength. Even if the head of the academy asked them, it was uncertain whether the saintly maidens would be willing to co and try to win over Li Su. After all, the act of winning soone over-involved by saying flattering words and adopting a humble attitude. Of course, the person being wooed needed a sufficiently high value to make such efforts worthwhile. Otherwise, individuals from the holy academies tended to look down on ordinary cultivators as if everyone owed them a considerable debt.
“Senior, I will report back. If you have any further requests, please let know,” the cultivator Xu maintained a courteous deanor. However, he was quite arrogant in the presence of others. Now, to win over Li Su, regardless of how the higher-ups of the Holy Heaven Academy decided after his report, Xu Kejin needed to leave a positive impression on Li Su. Thousands of years ago, they had successfully lured away a first-grade spiritual root genius from the Returning Origin Sect. This ti, they had their sights set on Li Su. They had also attempted to recruit Tiantian, but she had no intention of leaving the Returning Origin Sect. It seed they were intent on reaping the benefits from the Returning Origin Sect. “That’s all for now. Send the guest off,” Li Su said and had soone escort the Xu cultivator out of his residence. Li Su didn’t dwell on this little episode and wasn’t worried about offending a holy academy.
With the increase in his strength and growing reputation, such incidents were inevitable. Currently, the Holy Heaven Academy only knew about Li Su and was unaware of the existence of the sect’s leader. They also remained unaware of the details of Li Su’s battles with the two major Nascent Soul cultivators. Although Sect Leader Dieyun and a few Nascent Soul stage sect leaders had so knowledge of the true situation, they were not spreading it around. I need to get to the Refinent Realm as soon as possible, Li Su thought. Now that the sect leader was a substantial part of his life, even though they had not officially married and had children, she was already his woman. Her affairs were now also his concerns. Li Su himself had entered the radar of the holy academies, even though it was just one so far. Li Su realized the need for even greater strength. Therefore, he intensified his efforts in taking concubines, focusing on female cultivators from the Central Plains. Most of them were at the Golden Core stage. Occasionally, there would also be Nascent Soul-stage concubines among them.
Li Su’s descendants continued to be born, with spiritual root descendants steadily increasing. After a few more years, the woman leading the sect still hadn’t shown any significant movents. Li Su’s guess was correct. She wouldn’t be taking any major actions for the ti being, and her ability was limited. The Holy Heaven Academy also remained silent, which suited Li Su just fine. At this point, he wasn’t eager for extensive contact with the holy academies. Sect Leader Dieyun hadn’t bothered Li Su, and there was still so ti before their hundred-year agreent. As for the other second-grade immortal sects, Li Su occasionally visited the Xuantian Academy. From ti to ti, Li Su would also “abduct” one or two female disciples from the Xuantian Academy. Master Lu had no way to stop Li Su, and he was quite pleased when Li Su visited because he could exchange knowledge about formations and arrays with him. So, after a few more years, at the age of 360, Li Su reached the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul stage.
“Perfection!” Li Su whispered. Having achieved the Nascent Soul perfection, the next step would be to enter the Refinent Realm.
