Chapter 393

The Sect Master embarked on the journey to achieve Unity. Although reaching perfection in the Refinement Stage and breaking through to Unity required time, it shouldn’t be an issue for the Sect Master. Immortal Spirit Roots posed no bottlenecks during the Unity Stage.

This time, upon reaching Unity, the Sect Master intended to keep it concealed, not planning to reveal it publicly. On Li Su’s side, the strategy remained unchanged. Once the Sect Master reached the critical point, he would take her to the North Sea. The Demon Cloud Realm wasn’t the best choice now, considering the attention of the Demon Saint Sect was fixed on Li Su.

Observing the Sect Master entering seclusion again for the Unity breakthrough, Li Su focused more on her. In his household, the True Martial Holy Maiden seemed normal on the surface, but Li Su knew she wasn’t as calm as she appeared.

Li Su was aware each time she attempted to contact the real True Martial Holy Maiden in the dream world. If they couldn’t connect, it was also Li Su’s doing. However, after a year, the True Martial Holy Maiden didn’t bring the body of the Palace Master to the Northern Territory. Looking at it this way, the True Martial Holy Maiden endured, showing some sense of the bigger picture.

“Let’s see how long you can endure,” Li Su didn’t mind. As long as he kept the True Martial Holy Maiden in the Li Residence, they wouldn’t have a chance to reclaim their bodies. Li Su was curious to see how long the True Martial Holy Maiden could endure.

To prevent the Vice Palace Master of the Demon Saint Sect from leaving the Li Residence, Li Su assigned her tasks and entrusted her with teaching his daughters suitable for body cultivation. He deliberately revealed a special technique to pique her interest. This technique, shared with Li Su by Tao Yao, approached the level of immortal arts in terms of power.

Simultaneously, Li Su communicated with the people from the True Martial Holy Land to prevent her from using the True Martial Holy Maiden as an excuse to leave the Li Residence. Occasionally, Li Su would come and spend some time doting on her. To avoid arousing suspicion from Li Su, the witch had no choice but to stay in the Li Residence obediently.

As expected, several years passed, and she hadn’t found an opportunity. The restrictions in the Li Residence were powerful, and the effectiveness of these restrictions was closely related to the cultivator’s cultivation level who set them up. With Li Su’s current strength, it was nearly impossible for this witch to sneak out of the Li Residence.

In the fifth year, the Sect Master finally reached a critical point. On that day, Li Su brought the Sect Master to the North Sea. After setting up numerous restrictions, the Sect Master officially began the breakthrough. Overall, the breakthrough went smoothly, but there was a minor unexpected incident at a critical moment.

The Sect Master almost faced the Heart Demon again. “Recently, my progress has been a bit too fast. Li Su, I plan to go on a journey for some time. It will also be a good opportunity to consolidate my cultivation after crossing the Thunder Tribulation,” said the Sect Master. Indeed, the progress of her cultivation had been remarkably rapid.

With the system’s current three-fold acceleration in cultivation speed, the Sect Master managed to break through from the foundation-building stage to the Unity stage in just over three hundred years. In normal circumstances, it would take over a thousand years to progress from Foundation Building to the Unity stage, even with Immortal Spirit Roots. As of now, the Sect Master was just a little over a thousand years old.

Sometimes, advancing too quickly was indeed not a good thing. Unless she was like Li Su, when she absorbed cultivation, she could also absorb the experience inside. Or like Tao Yao, who, as a reincarnated immortal, didn’t need to worry about temperament issues.

Tao Yao only needed to continuously integrate memories from her past life, and her temperament and state of mind would continually improve without any worries. Therefore, even though the system’s rewards were abundant, it had only granted the acceleration of cultivation speed twice so far. Seeing the sect leader preparing to go on a journey, Li Su grasped her small hand and said, “Master, let me accompany you.”

Li Su has also traveled several times, which has been very pleasant for him. This time, accompanying the sect leader on the journey, Li Su was naturally very willing. The sect leader’s pretty face blushed, but she agreed. “Alice, do you want to hold your wedding first?” the sect leader’s aunt asked upon learning about it.

Mentioning her own wedding, the sect leader, although a bit shy, still said, “Aunt, a wedding is just a ceremony. There’s no need to hold one. When we return from our journey, Aunt can oversee a simple one for us.” However, Li Su seized the sect leader’s hand and said, “Master, of course, we should have a wedding, and it should be grand and special.”

He could sense the thoughts of the sect leader. Although the sect leader’s heart had long belonged to Li Su, and her body had been given to him, the feud with the Dongfang Family had not yet concluded. The Dongfang Patriarch was exceptionally powerful, and the threat from that woman still lingered. Her son was in the Purple Gold Holy Land and still held the status of a saint.

As for the other powerful admirer in the Purple Gold Holy Land, there was no news yet. The other party was probably still in retreat. The leader didn’t know how powerful Li Su was now. She didn’t want to hold a grand wedding and wanted to marry Li Su quietly. I’m afraid she also didn’t want Li Su to completely become enemies with the Dongfang Family and the Purple Gold Holy Land because of her.

But Li Su had been anticipating this for hundreds of years, and now that his strength had greatly increased, how could he simply marry the sect leader? He wanted to hold a wedding and a grand and special one, a ceremony of unparalleled magnificence. “Li Su…” “Master, I know. Just trust me on this!” Li Su looked into the sect leader’s eyes and spoke softly.

Li Su’s gaze was warm and filled with infectious emotion. In the end, the sect leader succumbed to Li Su’s gaze. She softly uttered an “okay” and yielded to Li Su’s wishes. Thus, Li Su began making arrangements. The entire Li family was set in motion. This time, Li Su intended to send out invitations, inviting all the forces on good terms with him to attend the wedding. This would also be the largest-scale wedding.
