Chapter 132
The two sisters stood side by side, and their combined charm was greatly amplified. Li Su couldn’t help but ponder if their potential offspring would share a similar appearance.
“Whenever you have the time, Fellow Taoist Li, please visit the Water Moon Sect as our guest. We will host a banquet to express our gratitude,” Liu Xinyue extended the invitation.
“Of course, I’ll visit when I bring Mengmeng over next year. She’ll be turning 12,” Li Su agreed.
“Fellow Taoist Li, when you come next year, I have one more request,” Liu Xinyue added.
“Oh, what is it?” Li Su inquired.
“I’d like your assistance fortifying the Water Moon Sect’s protective formation. We’ll compensate you for your efforts,” she explained.
“Sure, we can discuss it further when the time comes,” Li Su accepted the request.
…
“Haha, I’ve been chosen!” Laughter filled the square as cultivators were selected by the Inheritance Stele, which enveloped them in a faint light.
Ten days later, all Inheritance Steles had found their masters. Some cultivators even experienced an improvement in their cultivation, indicating the presence of inheritance related to cultivation techniques.
Li Su’s explanation appeared more credible after this, and he continued his development steadily, to advance four levels in just over a year. One of Li Su’s daughters also acquired an Inheritance Stele, which would aid her growth.
Following this, Li Su entered the main peak buildings alongside many Nascent Soul cultivators. These structures held limited items, as most cultivators typically carried their belongings. The sect had lost many powerful cultivators in battles against the sea clan.
The Nascent Soul cultivator who escaped to their sect wasn’t the most powerful in this ancient sect. This sect appeared to be much stronger than the Azure Mist Sect.
With the main peak secured, the attention shifted to the seawater above. Cultivators spotted the Level Four Late-Stage sea beast, and a group of more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators, including some at the Nascent Soul Peak and Late-Stage, eventually killed it.
This sea beast had caused significant damage by consuming spiritual stones and almost depleting the spiritual veins beneath the sect’s high mountains. The ruins had been fully explored and cleared.
The distribution of benefits was the next step. The Golden Core cultivators from the eight major sects collaborated to extract the remaining spiritual stones from the mine. Nascent Soul cultivators negotiated for the spoils, resulting in a distribution plan.
Li Su was awarded 15% of the total spoils as an extra share due to his remarkable contribution. The remaining 85% was to be divided among the North Domain sects based on their respective contributions. The Nascent Soul cultivators widely accepted this arrangement because of Li Su’s significant role. However, there were concerns about the Flying Immortal Sect’s proportion.
Li Su had already received a substantial share, and it was crucial to balance rewarding the Flying Immortal Sect for his contributions and ensuring fairness to the other sects. The final distribution was determined, with the Azure Mist Sect receiving the most at 20%, while the Flying Immortal Sect received 14%, considering Li Su’s role. Otherwise, they would have received around 7%. The remaining 60% was divided among the other six sects, with the Water Moon Sect receiving 12% and the Wind and Thunder Sect the least at 6%.
Li Su didn’t object to this distribution plan, as his gains were nearly comparable with the Azure Mist Sect. After distributing everything, Li Su filled several storage bags with refining materials, martial arts techniques, and a secret method for enhancing the soul.
Li Su also offered the unused pills to the leader of the Danxin Sect, which were excluded from the distribution of resources. Li Su planned to examine them further to reverse-engineer the recipe potentially. A month passed as everything was distributed. The North Domain sects had spent several months at this location but made significant gains.
With the consensus of the Nascent Soul cultivators, a proposal was made to seal the area, preserving the spiritual veins for forming a medicinal herb garden. However, Li Su was missing, and his whereabouts were unknown. Some speculated that he might be studying the special restrictions on the back mountains.
Li Su’s voice echoed in a hidden place on the back mountain. While the mysteries of this area became clearer, the sea clan’s formidable members were still unaccounted for. The possibility of them being devoured by sea beasts was considered, but Li Su suspected there was more to the situation, given the powerful restrictions within the main peak.
Even though the Nascent Soul cultivator had been severely injured earlier, they had successfully blocked him and the other sect cultivators on the main peak, preventing their escape.
Why wasn’t a strong sea clan member present in that situation? The circumstances at that time were quite awkward for both sides. When the Nascent Soul cultivator realized the sea clan’s attack, he worried that more sea clan members might arrive, forcing him to seal off the area completely. He might have survived if he had managed to escape and release the seal once the sea clan retreated. However, the sea clan army that entered was formidable, making it impossible for him to break free. Over a thousand years, he tried many times to break through but failed, leading to his entrapment.
Li Su contemplated the situation, thinking that if he were in the same position, he would have at least attempted negotiations with the sea clan to secure his freedom. However, for some reason, they hadn’t pursued negotiations at the time. It was also possible that both sides were unaware of the situation outside or too angry to consider negotiation.
