Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

After settling his attendants, Li Su checked on Mystic Moon's situation in the previous celestial realm. Mystic Moon was still in seclusion and needed a few more years before reaching a critical point. Then, he visited Murong Xue, who had been disciplined and flawlessly composed over the years.

Murong Xue's approach to educating her descendants, especially her daughter with Li Su and the Heaven Spiritual Root, was normal. The girl, now several years old, was well-taught and destined to be a prodigy.

"Husband~" After not seeing each other for a few years, Murong Xue didn't inquire about Li Su's whereabouts.

Li Su thoroughly enjoyed his time with Murong Xue, as there were no constraints, and she was exceptionally accommodating. Despite Murong Xue's previous pure demeanor, she had evidently been exposed to certain literature, making her a captivating presence in the inner chambers.

"Dear husband, do you think my painting is beautiful?" Tao Yao, in a picturesque estate, asked while painting Li Su standing at the bow of a flying boat overlooking Wolong Mountain. Li Su praised her, and Tao Yao, delighted, mentioned that the peach blossoms were about to bloom in the estate.

This day, Tao Yao didn't daydream. However, in the evening, she suddenly fell into a trance. Realizing this, Li Su activated a celestial technique from the Great Dream Record, causing his true energy to surge.

This consumption was greater than when confronting celestial artifact fragments, but the effects were pronounced. Li Su entered a dream state, surrounded by a hazy atmosphere. "Enter the dream," he whispered. This was Tao Yao's dream, a process not overly complex.

Golden Core cultivators or even Foundation Establishment cultivators could peer into mortal dreams with secret techniques. However, Tao Yao's situation was different—she wasn't dreaming. Li Su's attempt to forcefully enter her spiritual consciousness yielded no results.

Regrettably, Li Su had learned the Great Dream Record too late, Tao Yao's daydreaming moments were no longer vivid dreams. This was only the first step for Li Su, and as his hand seal changed, he sensed something different.

It felt similar to hitting an elusive barrier when facing a bottleneck – unseen, intangible, like a membrane blocking progress. Yet, this obstacle surpassed mere invisibility and intangibility. Without the aid of the Great Dream Record, Li Su couldn't even sense it. Even if he did perceive it, breaking through seemed impossible.

To be precise, it wasn't a membrane, and breaking through it wasn't as straightforward as overcoming a bottleneck. Li Su couldn't quite articulate the sensation, but he knew what steps to take. "Enter the dream," Li Su murmured, shutting his eyes. Now, he, too, was asleep.

His divine sense then began to drift ethereally, similar to the unpredictable state during dreaming. Thoughts started to scatter, the once coherent train of thought now fragmented. Gradually, it felt as though he had slipped into another realm. Truly, this was a dream.

As Li Su peacefully slumbered, the Great Dream Record's influence allowed for extensive dreaming – even dreaming for a thousand years, traversing the cosmos. If he honed these skills further, he might even dream-walk into the world of immortals. This time, however, Li Su aimed for a more challenging dream.

He sought to dream about Tao Yao's past life, the era before her reincarnation. Tao Yao, though currently over a hundred years old, didn't necessarily reincarnate a century ago. Immortal reincarnation entailed a complex timing, taking decades, centuries, or more before rebirth.

The intricacies within were difficult to grasp. The dream spanned a considerable length, presenting numerous fragmented scenes, like a piece of cloth intricately cut. It appeared even more surreal and scattered than any other dream. "Husband, husband~." Only the next day did Tao Yao's voice startle Li Su awake.

Li Su opened his eyes and saw Tao Yao's incredibly beautiful eyes, as captivating as peach blossoms, looking at him.

"Husband, you slept until the afternoon~." Tao Yao whispered. Did he sleep for so long? Li Su rested his head on her soft thighs. "Tao Yao, don't talk for now." "Mmm!"

Tao Yao indeed sat there quietly. Li Su began to piece together the various images and fragments he obtained from this dream. If it were a mortal's dream, they would have mostly forgotten it by now. Even ordinary cultivators might forget a lot in their dreams. This was a characteristic of dreams themselves.

However, Li Su, through the Great Dream Record, managed to preserve every detail and fragment of the dream. There was too much useless information and too many things to dream about. Even for Li Su, it took an entire afternoon to organize it all. Then, he sat up and looked at Tao Yao.

Tao Yao felt a bit puzzled under Li Su's gaze. "Husband, what's wrong with me?" she curiously asked. Li Su took Tao Yao's hand and, with her in tow, entered a peach blossom garden bathed in the lingering glow of the setting sun. The peach blossoms in the garden were on the verge of blooming.

Li Su still remembered that from the beginning, Tao Yao had a fondness for peach blossoms. Therefore, in her previous residence, Li Su had planted numerous peach blossoms for her. This time, he went even further, covering the entire mountain with peach blossoms. Li Su approached a drooping peach branch, and with a gentle motion of his hand, the peach blossoms on that branch slowly began to bloom.

Tao Yao was captivated by the scene. "Husband, it's so beautiful," she whispered. Li Su, gently inhaling the floral fragrance, now understood why there was always a hint of peach blossom fragrance on Tao Yao. As Tao Yao lost herself in the beauty of the blossoms, Li Su, in a dreamlike state, found himself wandering into Tao Yao's past life through those drifting thoughts.

She was indeed a reincarnated immortal being, but she was different from other immortals. Because Li Su dreamt of Tao Yao, it seemed that before her reincarnation, her original form was a peach tree that never withered all year round. In some fragmented images, her level of power appeared to exceed her imagination. Every day, the peaches of the peach tree were radiant and in full bloom.

No wonder, even after her reincarnation without awakening memories, she retained the name Tao Yao. As for why she chose to reincarnate and become an adult, Li Su did not dream about that.
