Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

Li Su’s speed had significantly improved. Last time, it took over a month to reach the secret island in Mystic Moon, but this time, it took less than two days. With increased strength, even distant journeys now seem closer. However, this was not the endpoint of his journey. This area is the territory of the aquatic clans of the East Sea. The commotion caused by Mystic Moon’s breakthrough was too significant, and the disturbances behind it were even greater, so it was not suitable to stay here.

Li Su continued to head southeast, flying for a few more days, and finally, there was a change up ahead. There was an unexpected fault line in the sea up ahead. It seemed like he had reached the end of the sea. As Li Su flew above this fault line, he saw that the seawater was rushing crazily downwards, flowing into an unknown destination.

Beyond this point, there was nothing but a hazy, gray expanse. “Boundary,” Li Su murmured. This was the boundary of the Canglan Realm, which was exceptionally vast, even for cultivators below the Refinement Void stage. However, the Canglan Realm did have its boundaries, and Li Su soon identified the location using a magical tool.

Unlike territories with sacred lands, the Canglan Realm’s boundaries were not tightly maintained. There were numerous passages in and out. Mystic Moon provided Li Su with a method to locate these passages. Once he found a passage, Li Su entered it, and it led him to a hazy expanse as if there was an area covered in mist stretching for miles.

Soon, Li Su emerged from this area. As he exited the passage, another sea came into view, but this sea was not very large, and Li Su flew out of it in just a few hours. Beyond that was an endless expanse of land. The spiritual energy here wasn’t very dense, similar to the peripheral areas like the Hopeful Immortal Peak. However, as one moved closer to the central region, the spiritual energy became richer.

This was the place from which Mystic Moon originated and where the Heavenly Demon Sect, among many other demonic sects, was located. It was quite far from the Canglan Realm, and when Mystic Moon arrived at the Hopeful Immortal Peak during her Refinement Void stage, it took over a year. Now that Li Su had reached the Refinement Void stage, he could get here even faster.

This was an incredibly chaotic domain. It used to be called the Black Cloud Realm because it had extensive black landmasses, and the sky was always filled with dense black clouds, giving it a gloomy atmosphere. Its name had now been changed to the Demon Cloud Realm because it was home to a significant number of demonic sects.

In the eyes of the former Li Su, the strength of these demonic sects was undoubtedly formidable. However, now they seemed rather ordinary to him. According to Mystic Moon, this realm was also located adjacent to the domain occupied by the demonic sects’ sacred land, extending beyond that particular realm.

Because of the abundant black land, the presence of poisonous creatures in the wild, and the perpetually overcast skies with rare sightings of the sun, there weren’t many immortal sects willing to establish a presence in this area. As a result, it had become a paradise for cultivators of the demonic path, and numerous demonic sects had thrived here.

As for ordinary humans, there were some in this region, and many of the demonic sects had a grasp of sustainable development. They had established control over several ordinary kingdoms. While there had been attempts by powerful immortal sects to clear the area, the demonic sects here were quite scattered and extremely cunning.

Immortal sects below the Third Rank find it perilous to come here. It was almost like sending themselves to their deaths. When powerful individuals arrived, these demonic sects would quickly go into hiding. If it were a widespread attack launched by a coalition of immortal sects and cultivators, these demonic sects would retreat into the domain where their sacred land was located. Immortals could not be here all the time.

The spiritual energy here was not particularly abundant, and most of the herbs were not suitable for cultivators. Additionally, given the proximity to the demonic sect’s sacred land, immortal sects were reluctant to come here. Cultivators had limited options and could only maintain strict defenses to prevent these demonic practitioners from infiltrating their respective sect’s territories.

Furthermore, these sinister cults rarely venture into other territories for activities, which, to some extent, demonstrates their discretion and allows them to endure.

Every few years, some of these malevolent groups were eliminated by formidable individuals. However, these forces were elusive and challenging to eradicate completely. They tend to resurface like uncontrollable wildfires that were hard to extinguish, reemerging each year.

The turnover among these dark practitioners was indeed rapid. They frequently engage in conflicts with each other, and if they didn’t eliminate one of them, there was a chance that the sect might dissolve on its own within a few years. Soon, Li Su reached the border of the land and quickly established a formation.

There weren’t many seas in the Demon Cloud Realm, but there were numerous lakes within the land. The demonic sects mainly operated in the central region, and there were fewer dark practitioners in the outer areas. Their overall strength was not exceptionally potent, mostly comparable with the Heavenly Demon Sect.

According to Mystic Moon, only when a demonic sect reached the level of a Second-Rank Immortal Sect could they qualify to enter the domain where the demonic sect’s sacred land was located. Otherwise, they had to develop in other areas. As of now, the Heavenly Demon Sect has not yet reached the level of a Second-Rank Immortal Sect, meaning they have not reached the Refinement Void stage.

It must have taken a considerable amount of time for the Heavenly Demon Sect, which was essentially a level below the “immortal” tier in the cultivation world, to advance into a Third-Rank Immortal Sect. Now, with the exceptionally talented Mystic Moon, they had likely come to value her truly. However, Mystic Moon had been continuously exploited, which was quite unfortunate.
