Chapter 385
Li Su’s condition might not be obvious to ordinary cultivators, but Lord Feng Tian sensed something was off when she saw him. Although the Heavenly Tribulation’s Five Calamities were a personal ordeal, Li Su was in the early stages of the first calamity, and the signs were not very noticeable.
Having transcended the calamity more than once, Lord Feng Tian naturally detected some anomalies. However, she wasn’t certain. After all, if Li Su were currently undergoing tribulation, it would be quite astonishing. Even for a reincarnated immortal, progressing from fusion to perfect fusion so quickly was unlikely.
A hundred thousand years ago, the reincarnated immortal protected by the Purple Gold Holy Land took several hundred years to progress from fusion to perfect fusion. Yet, Lord Feng Tian considered Li Su much more powerful than the two reincarnated immortals before him. With this thought, she felt there might be that possibility after all.
Li Su’s previous growth was even faster than the reincarnated immortal protected by the Purple Gold Holy Land. “Lord, what? Is there something on my face?” Li Su asked when he saw Lord Feng Tian approaching him with suspicion in her eyes. Lord Feng Tian’s eyes were on Li Su, looking at him repeatedly.
“Li Su, are you… are you currently undergoing the tribulation?” Lord Feng Tian hesitated for a moment before asking. The reason for her hesitation was that whether a cultivator was currently undergoing the tribulation was a very confidential matter during the tribulation period. Li Su shook his head, “No.” He denied it.
He was undergoing the tribulation, but Li Su hadn’t completed it yet. Even though he trusted Lord Feng Tian, Li Su didn’t plan to reveal it. Moreover, Li Su had been waiting for his enemies to make a move recently, preparing to surprise them. Seeing Li Su’s denial, Lord Feng Tian thought she might have misjudged the situation.
“Li Su, if you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation, you can tell me. The academy will do everything it can to help you,” Lord Feng Tian said. After speaking, she recalled that reincarnated immortals rarely encountered difficulties before the tribulation of the five calamities.
“If you’re planning to undergo tribulation, you must tell us. We can provide you with a lot of celestial energy to help you undergo the tribulation faster and more smoothly,” Lord Feng Tian said. Did celestial energy help with tribulation? Li Su’s current understanding of celestial energy was that it could weaken the power of the tribulation for demonic cultivators.
However, if celestial energy had only this one purpose, what other use did it have for cultivators? He didn’t ask because he was currently using the identity of a reincarnated immortal. Once, he asked, would he not expose himself?
“We still have quite a bit of celestial energy. I’ll be honest: in the Spirit Realm, our academy has two wandering immortals. The things we have for refining virtual and combining entities and celestial energy were all obtained at the risk of their lives by these two senior immortals in the Spirit Realm.” Lord Feng Tian started talking today.
That needed to be obtained in the Spirit Realm. Even loose immortals have to fight desperately to get it. The “fighting desperately” part might be exaggerated, but obtaining it should be challenging.
“A part of the Holy Realms’s heritage is our number of loose immortals. These are secrets that even Zixue doesn’t have access to.” Lord Feng Tian casually explained again. Li Su understood. Although Saintess Zixue was a Saintess, her position in the holy land was ultimately not comparable to that of the Lord. Lord Feng Tian was once a Saintess of the Xuantian Academy. However, after she grew up, she became the Lord and no longer held that position.
The position of a Saintess merely signified the level of attention and importance the holy land places on a genius. Once the genius had grown up, it naturally lost its significance. Several months later, Saintess Zixue achieved the Unity stage.
“Husband~” Immediately after achieving Unity, Saintess Zixue came to share the joy with Li Su. Li Su had specially prepared a celebration for her.
This also left many cultivators sighing with emotion. Among Li Su’s companions, another formidable expert had reached the Unity stage. At this point, the current Li family, in practical terms, was equivalent to half of the holy land. In terms of strength, it had already surpassed the Dongfang family. Even though the Dongfang family’s patriarch was still powerful, Li Su did not fear him.
Moreover, the Sect Master of the Guiyuan Sect could now be considered part of the Li family. After accompanying Li Su for over a month, Zixue entered seclusion again. After another month, Tao Yao emerged from seclusion. Li Su observed that within just a few decades, Tao Yao had reached the pinnacle of the Nascent Divinity stage. “Husband~”
This time, she deliberately came out of seclusion to accompany Li Su. After assimilating another wave of memories from her past life, Tao Yao was afraid that she might lose control and become distant from Li Su if she went into seclusion again. So, she intentionally came out to spend time with Li Su. “Husband, have you already undergone your tribulation?” She asked.
Li Su responded with a simple “Hmm.” There was no need to hide it from Tao Yao.
