In Tao Yao’s gaze, there was an involuntary expression of amazement. Her husband, she found, was becoming increasingly incomprehensible. Even after assimilating many memories from her past life, her understanding of the world expanded. However, she still felt that her husband was becoming more mysterious and formidable. “Husband, if you were truly a reincarnated immortal, then you could absorb celestial essence from those sacred places, greatly reducing the difficulty of transcending the Five Declines of Heaven and Man,” Tao Yao said. She was somewhat worried about Li Su. Li Su gently patted her head and replied, “Tao Yao, can the transcendent experts in the sacred places use celestial essence to transcend their tribulations?” Tao Yao shook her head, “They can’t. Only reincarnated immortals can use it and know how to use it. The spiritual roots of immortals can also harness some, but not as effectively as us.” Li Su understood. No wonder many sacred places were waiting for Li Su to transcend his tribulation. They were trying to provide celestial essence for him. A transcendent being could cultivate smoothly before the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. During the Five Decays, they could swiftly pass through by utilizing the celestial energy of sacred places. The more celestial energy there was, the faster a transcendent being could pass through the Five Decays and the safer the process became. Li Su felt confident that his understanding was accurate. “Indeed, my husband,” Tao Yao affirmed Li Su’s understanding. “Tao Yao, when the time comes, I will provide celestial energy for you.” Li Su whispered softly. “Mm.” Tao Yao nodded gently. After entwining with Li Su for almost half a month, her feelings towards Li Su again returned. “My husband, she should be the one.” Two days later, a figure appeared on the surface of a mirror-like object. Tao Yao confirmed the identity of this figure. This person should be someone sent by the Demon Saint Palace. Li Su had observed for decades without being able to locate her. However, Tao Yao managed to recognize her this time. Li Su was somewhat surprised. The surprising aspect of the person’s identity was that she was a Saintess from a holy land. Moreover, she was the True Martial Saintess, someone Li Su quite liked, from the True Martial Holy Realms. Her name, Su Ying, sounded pleasant, and her voice was equally melodious. She was also a practitioner of the same cultivation method. How could she be affiliated with the Demon Saint Palace? “Tao Yao, are you sure?” Li Su asked again. “My husband, I shouldn’t be mistaken. The laws of heaven are rarely strange unless she’s three realms higher than me,” Tao Yao replied. That was an extremely powerful celestial technique possessed by Tao Yao. When she reincarnated, she used celestial techniques to obscure the workings of fate. Now, employing the same celestial methods, she had uncovered the individual lurking around Li Su. Li Su chose to trust Tao Yao. She was indeed formidable. Notably, the True Martial Saintess has shown no signs or flaws. Li Su couldn’t understand how someone from the Demon Saint Palace managed to infiltrate a holy land and even become a saint there. Then, when the True Martial Holy Realms sought to establish a connection with Li Su, she arrived by his side. Over these years, she bore eight children for Li Su. She hadn’t shown any typical behaviors of a witch, not even the usual emotional or manipulative tendencies that others might exhibit. This perplexed Li Su. Could the True Martial Saintess be solely focused on bearing children? Or perhaps she was waiting for a particular opportunity? In any case, upon realizing her identity, Li Su was surprised. Watching how capable his own Tao Yao was, Li Su pampered her for several days. Li Su felt at ease after Tao Yao screened the people around him. Now, he could confidently take in concubines. It wouldn’t have mattered if the Demon Saint Palace had sent more people. With Tao Yao around, no matter how well-hidden they were, Li Su could uncover them. After being pampered by Li Su for several days, Tao Yao shyly withdrew to seclude herself. She aimed to make a breakthrough and ascend in her cultivation. Meanwhile, Li Su observed the True Martial Saintess, discreetly watching her for a year. Yet, he didn’t detect anything unusual. The True Martial Saintess practiced the True Martial Holy Realm’s techniques, and everything seemed flawless, from her elemental cultivation to her spiritual essence. “Moreover, she is a first-grade spiritual talent. The question arises: why is she working for the Demon Saint Palace? Isn’t the True Martial Holy Land a better option? Or could it be that she’s been marked or controlled by the Demon Saint Palace? Is she a high-ranking member’s child or something similar from the Demon Saint Palace? This possibility suddenly opened up Li Su’s train of thought. Li Su felt that this possibility was quite plausible. The True Martial Saintess was highly likely to be a descendant of the higher-ups in the Demon Saint Palace. Based on Li Su’s understanding from several witches and even from information gathered from Mystic Moon (Yue Yue), aside from the various palace lords, the upper echelon of the Demon Saint Palace comprised the supreme masters.
