Chapter 186 One day later, Li Su left the ocean at the request of Bai Ling, who expressed deep gratitude, making Li Su exceptionally compliant. After enjoying a pleasant day with Bai Ling, Li Su departed. Bai Ling returned with the fragments of the sacred artifact, which should bring closure. To prevent the Sea Clan from continually desiring the sacred artifact fragments and causing further issues, it was important to note that it was not entirely unjust to want to reclaim what they considered theirs. From Li Su’s perspective, the ancient battle that occurred tens of thousands of years ago was suspicious, and an unknown force might have manipulated both sides. The North Sea Spring was not particularly significant to humans and had been valued only in an aquatic environment. It was unclear why cultivators in the Northern Region would want it. They might intend to develop something in the sea. At the time, the Sea Clan from the North Sea also desired friendly relations with the Northern Region and considered trade, which would involve the world of cultivation in the Northern Region. Due to the Sea Clan’s limited expertise in alchemy and crafting, some sea ingredients, when refined into elixirs by skilled alchemists, could be more potent and easier to store. Additionally, the Sea Clan occasionally required items from the land, prompting them to seek friendly relations and trade. Representatives from the Northern Region’s cultivation world suggested an intention to foster friendly relations with the Sea Clan, as some sea treasures could benefit cultivators. While Li Su obtained some spiritual items from the Mermaid tribe during his previous visit, it was just a small fraction of what the sea had to offer. The sea contained many valuable items that could benefit various types of cultivators. So, the likelihood of the Northern Region cultivators causing trouble back then seemed low. It was highly likely that a third party secretly benefited from that ancient battle, but identifying this third party was challenging due to time. Li Su, as a time traveler, had a detached mindset and saw no reason to perpetuate ancient grievances from tens of thousands of years ago. Engaging in a conflict with the current Sea Clan over such a long-past event seemed pointless. Moreover, his daughter was destined to rule the North Sea, and destroying the Sea Clan would leave her with an empty kingdom. Therefore, he handed the holy artifact fragments to Bai Ling without imposing conditions. This time, the Sea Clan obtained quite a few items in the underwater ruins, and some Sea Clan members were eager to attempt reconstructing the sacred artifact. “What a shame,” Li Su said. Several months later, Li Su’s voice reverberated within the remains of a celestial sect. This sect was not as advanced as the previous one, possibly just a Nascent Soul-level celestial sect from the past. It was situated near the Mangkang Mountains, and all the inhabitants had long departed, leaving little behind. “Husband, why?” Qin Xiaoyue inquired curiously. Li Su reiterated, “I believe this wordless stone tablet might have the potential to unlock some opportunities in the surrounding areas or reveal ancient techniques and similar things that may have existed in the past. Give it a try at the Water Moon Sect.” This was Li Su’s conjecture based on the changes in the wordless stone tablet. “Excellent!” Qin Xiaoyue had complete faith in Li Su’s words. Relocating the wordless stone tablet wasn’t a simple task. From time to time, Qin Xiaoyue had to let it touch the ground. It took her several months to transport the wordless stone tablet to the Water Moon Sect. The Water Moon Sect was close to the center of the Northern Region, and she hoped that the wordless stone tablet could unveil more opportunities within the Northern Region. Tens of thousands of years ago, the Northern Region was undeniably very powerful, as evident from the ancient celestial sect’s remains. There were numerous undiscovered opportunities in the Northern Region. The Water Moon Sect had become Li Su’s second home, and most of his concubines resided there. After spending three months enjoying the pleasures of the Water Moon Sect, Li Su embarked on another journey and returned to the Li residence. Upon his return, he laid eyes on a graceful figure. Mystic Moon had finally returned. “Husband!” It had been over two decades since they last saw each other, and You Yue looked even more exquisite. She suppressed a smile, but her eyes revealed her longing for Li Su. So, Li Su embraced her, and his actions were intense as he expressed his longing. (ED Note: Mystic Moon is also named You Yue.) It was several hours before You Yue had a chance to speak to Li Su. “Husband, I heard you’ve reached the Nascent Soul stage,” You Yue inquired. Li Su pinched her nose, “You Yue, have you reached the late Nascent Soul stage?” You Yue’s progress this time was indeed exceptionally substantial. In just over thirty years, she had managed to advance from the mid-Nascent Soul stage to the late Nascent Soul stage. How much power had she harvested from the Celestial Demon? However, her greatest tribulation was still ahead of her. She wanted to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but it was an extremely dangerous endeavor. The Nascent Soul tribulation she would face was ten times, if not potentially dozens of times, more challenging than the one Li Su had encountered.
