Chapter 48: Encounter with a Demon Cultivator Again

Chapter 48: Encounter with a Demon Cultivator Again The sect leader became a little concerned again after learning that Li Su kept taking concubines. Although she was worried about Li Sus actions, the sect leader had lost a bet with Li Su in the past, and she couldnt go back on his word. It had only been more than ten years, and she couldnt break her promise. Anyway, hes still young, the sect leader thought. From an ordinary persons perspective, Li Su might not be considered young anymore, as he was already over one hundred and seventy years old. However, Li Su was still considered young for a Golden Core stage cultivator. Golden Core stage cultivators had a lifespan of at least 500 years. As a first-grade golden elixir, Li Sus lifespan was even longer. Furthermore, he advanced to the second level of the Golden Core stage four years ago, which would further extend his lifespan. Late Golden Core stage cultivators could live close to a thousand years, and with a higher grade of Golden Core, their lifespan could even surpass a thousand years, not to mention the potential of life-extending pills. The sect leader realized that Li Su was still relatively young for a cultivator, and considering his rapid progress over the years, she decided to let him do as he pleased. The sect leader wanted to observe if Li Sus progress would continue at such a fast pace or if it would slow down as he aged. If Li Sus cultivation continues progressing rapidly, I need not worry, the sect leader concluded. However, if Li Sus progress slowed down significantly after he turned 300, the sect leader was determined to intervene. He knew that prolonging the lifespan of a Golden Core stage cultivator was more challenging than that of a mortal, but it was also easier for them to obtain life-extending pills. Li Su returned to the Flying Immortal Sect to obtain materials for refining array flags. He planned to strengthen the formations at his Li Mansion. Although some formations could be set up without array flags, Li Su found the flexibility and control provided by useful array flags. As for mortals without spiritual roots, he hadnt taken in many in recent years, only occasionally accepting exceptionally outstanding ones as exceptions. Consequently, the growth rate of descendants with spiritual roots had slowed down. One day, Li Su received urgent news and swiftly went to the Flying Immortal Sect. In the main hall of the sect, the elders were gathered, and on the ground lay a bound man with his true essence restrained. Li Su, the sect leader asked, is this the sacred order they are looking for? I didnt expect the sacred order to be in your hands. You are finished! Once the saint arrives, all of you will be done for. Hahaha! The man on the ground laughed. The sect leader quickly isolated the man so that he couldnt hear their conversation. The Heavenly Demon Palace is one of the three palaces of the Holy Alliance. We dont need to worry too much. The Holy Alliance is in constant turmoil, and their Yuanying stage cultivators wont be dispatched so easily. The Heavenly Demon Palace is likely casting a wide net and has not yet pinpointed our location, the sect leader explained. The sect leader then assigned an elder to send people to Blazing Sun Sect and Seven Star Valley, instructing them to pay attention to demon cultivators and alert the cultivation families in the Wu Kingdom. If anything unusual happened, they were to report it immediately. Li Su accompanied the sect leader on a flying boat on another journey to the Blackwood Forest. This time, the sect leaders intention was simple. It had been many years since she brought a cultivator surnamed Bai underground. She planned to use the slate to extract information from the trapped demon cultivator and increase her understanding of the Heavenly Demon Palace. She also wanted to learn about the significance of the holy decree and why the Heavenly Demon Palace dispatched magicians to search extensively for it. The captured demon cultivator did not hold a high position in the Heavenly Demon Palace and was not aware of the full extent of the holy decrees power, but he knew it was of great importance.
