Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!-Chapter 304

Chapter 304

According to Sect Master Lu, the chances of success in the reincarnation of celestial beings were quite low. Out of ten recorded attempts in Eastern families, only two were successful. In the remaining eight instances, those celestial beings never awakened their memories and lived their lives as regular individuals. In this sense, those celestial beings were essentially considered to have died. So, it was plausible that Tao Yao might be a reincarnated celestial being who didn’t regain her memories.

The fact that Tao Yao’s age was locked at 18 had indeed been a puzzling aspect for Li Su. In other instances where celestial beings’ reincarnations failed, there were no further consequences or unusual circumstances. The question of why Tao Yao’s age was locked, especially at 18, remained unanswered. If her age were locked at, say, 12, it might have been more comprehensible to Li Su.

That made sense. Reincarnated celestial beings had a maximum age of 12 to awaken their memories, and if that age limit was passed, they could never regain their memories. Locking their age at 12 would provide these reincarnated celestial beings with endless time to awaken their memories. Such an approach is an exceedingly rare ability among celestial beings. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many instances of failed celestial reincarnations.

Now, the enigma of Tao Yao’s age being locked at 18 continued to perplex Li Su’s thought processes. It’s possible that Tao Yao was extraordinarily powerful before her reincarnation, allowing her to set up this age lock in advance, he speculated. And maybe her immense power before reincarnation explains why the maximum age for her to regain her memories is 18.

Li Su considered this possibility. It was plausible that there could be variations in the strength of celestial beings and gods. Some might be more powerful than others. While most celestial beings who reincarnated had a maximum memory awakening age of 12, if Tao Yao had been incredibly powerful before her reincarnation, perhaps she possessed the means to awaken her memories earlier, at the age of 18.

Furthermore, by locking her age, she would have given herself more time to regain her memories. This is a plausible possibility, Li Su mused. If Tao Yao was truly a reincarnated celestial being, then this possibility seemed the most likely. With these thoughts in mind, as he gazed upon Tao Yao sleeping peacefully in his arms, Li Su tenderly embraced her.

Regardless of the possible explanations, as long as Tao Yao’s feelings for him were genuine, her enigma would be Li Su’s concern. However, it couldn’t be verified at the moment. He decided to wait and see if there were any further developments. The years continued to pass peacefully.

During this time, the Northern Region gradually prospered. As Li Su meticulously analyzed the topography, geomantic features, and spiritual veins of the Northern Region and the other regions, the concentration of spiritual energy in the Northern Region continued to rise steadily. It was gradually catching up with the other regions. However, reaching the level of the Central Region, which was the most spiritually rich area in the Canglan Realm, still posed a significant challenge.

“500 years,” on this particular day, Li Su reached the age of 500. A grand birthday banquet was once again in full swing. On the day Li Su turned 500, Li Tian brought him some good news—she had reached the Nascent Soul stage. In reality, Li Tian had achieved this milestone much earlier but intentionally restrained her progress, breaking through on Li Su’s 500th birthday to give her father a special gift.

At this point, Li Tian was just a little over 110 years old. She had only one-grade spiritual roots, not like the Hundred-Year Nascent Soul of those with Immortal spiritual roots. However, being Li Su’s daughter, she progressed significantly faster than Immortal spiritual roots practitioners. Achieving Nascent Soul at just over 110 years of age was a remarkable feat that left the cultivators of the Canglan Realm in awe. Li Tian had truly grown into a remarkable young woman.

Nevertheless, this grown-up daughter remained incredibly attached to Li Su. When there were no outsiders around, she liked to snuggle up close to her father. “Sister, you’re so amazing!” Li Die and Li Tian, the two sisters, had a great relationship. Li Die had also grown into a graceful young woman and, like her sister, was very fond of Li Su.

Li Die, practicing as a Sacred Spirit Root cultivator, progressed notably faster than Li Tian. With the additional boosts from Li Su’s rewards, Li Die’s journey to the Nascent Soul stage promised to be swift. Yet, caution was crucial to avoid instability. Li Su advised a steady approach, emphasizing the need for a solid foundation.

Focusing solely on speed could lead to issues, especially for prodigies. Rushed progress might result in bottlenecks or inner challenges. Even rapid growth might bring regret later. This could limit overall potential, a cautionary tale seen in some sacred places or major sects.

Aware of this principle, Li Su emphasized the importance of a steady cultivation foundation. Some sects organize competitions to spur exchange among members, but Li Su, like prodigies such as Tiantian, rarely participated. Comparisons among prodigies could breed restlessness and an unhealthy obsession with quick advancement.

Competitions in Qi Refining, Foundation Building, and beyond were often viewed as trivial by true powerhouses. Short-term victories held little significance. Only a few prodigies grasped the bigger picture, focusing on long-term goals. Calmness and steady progress could prevent talented individuals from falling short.

Cultivation wasn’t about winning or losing but achieving immortality. While occasional competitions were necessary, maintaining the right mindset was crucial. Short-term victories didn’t make one invincible.

Li Tian made significant strides in cultivation, and Li Su’s descendants, regardless of initial aptitude, benefited from resources. For those excelling in alchemy or artifact crafting, dedicated chambers were established within Mangkang Mountain.

Li Su personally crafted treasures for exceptional descendants, occasionally rewarding those who displayed outstanding performance. Such treasures became a source of envy within the family. At the age of 500, Li Su’s cultivation reached the pinnacle of the Refinement stage, causing ripples in the heavens.

Li Su anticipated overcoming the bottleneck at the pinnacle of the Refinement stage. Three manageable bottlenecks hindered his progress, and with the upcoming rewards, he was confident of reaching the Fusion stage soon. Though not as daunting as Dieyun Peak’s Master’s challenge, this bottleneck, if faced by anyone else, would still be a significant hurdle. Li Su looked forward to the nearing  Fusion stage, with his goal almost within reach.
