“What? Senior Li plans to wed a cultivator from the Sea Clan’s Nascent Divinity?”
“Yes, Sect Master, that’s what the invitations indicate.”
“Let me take a look.”
Even in the Purple Extreme Sect, the Sect Master was surprised. Li Su’s decision to take a new concubine this time was genuinely unexpected. Moreover, the one he was marrying was not just any Sea Clan member but a Nascent Divinity cultivator from the Northern Sea Clan. This added an extra layer of amazement. Very few people in the Northern Territory had a detailed understanding of the great battle that occurred tens of thousands of years ago.
Many cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, even those within the Immortal Sects, had never heard of it. The Northern Sea Clan had remained inactive in the vicinity of the Northern Territory but had secretly dispatched skilled members adept at disguises to infiltrate the region.
Locations like Linhai City were a significant move in their strategy. They had been planning this for a while as part of their strategy to recover the fragments of the sacred artifact. The immortal sects in the Northern Territory had no significant history of conflict or grudges with the Sea Clan. The only conflict between them was the Sea Clan’s attack on the Azure Dawn Sect over a decade ago.
While that battle was intense, it resulted in no significant casualties on either side, and it didn’t lead to deep-seated animosity. Therefore, the cultivators in the Northern Territory were more curious than hostile towards the Northern Sea Clan. Most cultivators had never seen a Sea Clan member in their lifetime. Now, Li Su would suddenly marry a Sea Clan Nascent Divinity cultivator, not just any, but a Sea Clan queen.
Even Nascent Soul cultivators were naturally surprised by this news. “Prepare gifts,” the Sect Master of the Purple Extreme Sect pondered for a moment and ordered the preparation of gifts. It wasn’t just him. The leaders of other immortal sects also began to prepare gifts.
For this wedding, the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Northern Territory naturally planned to attend in person, as it was also an opportunity to see what the Northern Sea Clan was like.
“Have you seen the invitations? Senior Li is going to marry a Nascent Divinity Sea Clan queen!”
“I just saw them too. I thought I was seeing things. Is this for real?”
“It’s being talked about everywhere, so it’s probably true.”
“My goodness, Senior Li’s concubines keep getting more impressive. He’s nearly taken all the female cultivators in the Northern Territory who are at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages. Now, he’s even taken someone at the Nascent Divinity stage.” “More than just Nascent Divinity, she’s a Sea Clan queen!”
In Linxian City, this news had already spread far and wide. Many Northern Territory cultivators were astounded by this news. Li Su’s decision to take a new concubine this time had caused an enormous sensation. This time, he was marrying a Nascent Divinity cultivator!
The notion of Nascent Divinity was astonishing in itself, and to top it off, this Nascent Divinity cultivator was a Sea Clan queen. This was even more astonishing, leaving the cultivators in the Northern Territory utterly stunned. It wasn’t just Linxian City. This news had spread throughout the other immortal cities as well. “A Nascent Divinity Sea Clan queen, whoa, Senior Li is truly something else. He even got a Sea Clan queen?” “We’ve been in Linhai City for so long and haven’t even seen a genuine Sea Clan member, yet Senior Li quietly took the Sea Clan queen as his concubine.”
In Linhai City, many cultivators were discussing this matter as well. There was no doubt that this event had caused a tremendous sensation throughout the entire Northern Territory.
As the wedding date drew near, many Northern Territory cultivators arrived in Linhai City. This wedding was set to take place in Linhai City, and Li Su would also be relocating some of his descendants to the city to oversee its management and operations. It was also an opportune time for Li Su to announce the commencement of trade with the Northern Sea Clan.
Linhai City was situated at the northernmost tip of the Northern Territory, and it took a long time for Qi Refining stage cultivators to travel there. Even with flying boats, the journey could take months because Qi Refining stage cultivators typically didn’t possess high-quality flying vessels. However, the major immortal sects in the Northern Territory, as well as many smaller ones and members of various cultivation clans, had arrived early for the occasion.
Linhai City had become extremely lively. Li Su had already met the former lord of Linhai City, a Sea Demon Clan member highly skilled in transformation. In most cases, unless they battled him, witnessed his abilities up close, or were significantly more powerful, it was nearly impossible to discern whether he was human or part of the Sea Clan.
“I wonder what the Sea Clan queen looks like.”
“I heard she’s a mermaid. The rumors say mermaids are all exceptionally beautiful, and if she’s at the Nascent Divinity stage, she must be extraordinary.”
“Yeah, you have to trust Senior Li’s judgment. Anyone he takes as a concubine is exceptional.”
In Linhai City, on the wedding day, many cultivators gathered on the city’s outskirts, gazing towards the Northern Sea. At that moment, the sea in the Northern Sea was still calm, but it soon began to change. The waters of the Northern Sea suddenly surged, and from this tumultuous sea, groups of Sea Clan members dressed in bright red clothing shot into the sky. These Sea Clan members possessed formidable strength, with their aura all at the third tier, beyond the Golden Core stage.
These Sea Clan members were specially selected for this event, and in the eyes of many Sea Clan individuals, this wedding was a matter of pride for their clan. This was also the first time the current Northern Sea Clan had openly appeared before Northern Territory cultivators.
