Having devised a plan, Saintess Zixue resumed her cultivation. Observing this, the young woman in green fell silent. Within the mansion, Li Su had arranged a cozy cave for Peak Master Dieyun.
“Li Su, you can attend to your duties. I won’t be cultivating for the next few days, and the chance of the inner demon surfacing is not very high,” Peak Master Dieyun stated. Despite her assurance, Li Su continued his daily visits, bringing her numerous spiritual items and elixirs to nourish both her body and the unborn child.
A year elapsed, and Peak Master Dieyun’s inner demon remained dormant. Her belly expanded, and her demeanor grew increasingly serene. Another six months passed, and the child had yet to be born. However, various signs of unusual occurrences persisted, resembling genuine omens in an ordinary mortal household.
After an additional month, Peak Master Dieyun gave birth to a baby girl. In Li Su’s household, it seemed that exceptional spiritual talents favored girls, whether due to a system’s probability bias or another cause.
“Li Su, as the father, you choose the name,” Peak Master Dieyun said, cradling their newborn girl. “Let’s call her Li Die,” Li Su decided, marking their daughter with a name.
Peak Master Dieyun, absorbed in the peculiar feeling of motherhood, paid little attention to her daughter’s spiritual roots. Li Su, not in a hurry, suspected from the system’s rewards that their daughter possessed a first-class spiritual root, the second one in their family.
A few days later, Peak Master Dieyun recalled the matter. Using a magical tool, Li Su measured Li Die’s spiritual roots and discovered a first-class Sacred Spiritual Root known for its exceptionally rapid cultivation speed.
In terms of cultivation speed, Sacred Spiritual Roots rivaled even Immortal Spiritual Roots, although the latter had an advantage in avoiding bottlenecks. Immortal Spiritual Roots held a unique position in the cultivation world due to their absence of bottlenecks.
Peak Master Dieyun, learning that her daughter had a Sacred Spiritual Root, expressed joy. It was a truly excellent spiritual root, surpassing even Li Tian’s.
At this moment, she felt even more extraordinary. She had indeed given birth to a remarkable child with Li Su. Observing her daughter, who bore some resemblance to Li Su, and then glancing at Li Su, she seemed to be contemplating something. Her pretty face blushed involuntarily.
This child’s spiritual root would undoubtedly benefit Li Su. However, to elevate Li Su’s spiritual roots from third-class to second-class, more nurturing was needed. After reaching the Celestial Spiritual Root, the nurturing requirements for each advancement became increasingly substantial.
Numerically speaking, moving from the fourth class to the third class could be likened to requiring ten thousand points of nurturing. Offspring with spiritual roots of the fifth class or lower could only provide 1 point of nurturing value. In the fourth class, they could offer 10 points of nurturing value, being only one rank lower than Li Su’s spiritual root.
The nurturing value provided by offspring increased linearly with the first three ranks, with a first-class spiritual root child potentially offering several hundred points of nurturing value. Li Su’s emphasis on the quality of his children was, therefore, justified.
After their child’s birth, Peak Master Dieyun dedicated a year to taking care of their daughter, with Li Su frequently joining her. Despite the unexpected twists and turns in Peak Master Dieyun’s path to motherhood, her state of mind remained exceptionally positive.
Notably, Li Su hadn’t found an opportunity for another intimate encounter. Daily, he admired Peak Master Dieyun, who had become even more enchanting after giving birth. He anticipated the day when the sect leader emerged from seclusion, allowing him to marry Peak Master Dieyun and explore every possibility.
“Daddy~” Li Die began speaking, expressing her fondness for Li Su. Every time she saw him, she would abandon even her mother to run happily towards him.
“Mom, let Daddy sleep with us tonight,” Li Die requested, showcasing her attachment to Li Su. This pleased Li Su, and that night, Li Die peacefully slept, holding onto both Li Su and Peak Master Dieyun.
However, Li Su couldn’t sleep. When he turned and noticed Peak Master Dieyun was also awake, the atmosphere took a subtle turn. Peak Master Dieyun, after realizing Li Su had noticed her, straightforwardly expressed her decision to go back into seclusion.
“Li Die is in your care. I’m going back into seclusion,” she stated, and Li Su responded with a simple “Yes.” The term “inner demon” wasn’t brought up anymore, as it seemed Peak Master Dieyun’s inner demon had dissipated over the past few years.
“Li Die really likes you. If you don’t have time, you can send her to the Returning Origin Sect first and let Xiaoyu teach her,” Peak Master Dieyun suggested. Li Su shook his head, insisting on teaching Li Die himself.
This sparked a change in the atmosphere, and eventually, something romantic unfolded in the darkness. The next morning, Peak Master Dieyun dressed Li Die neatly, maintaining her regular schedule.
A few days later, Xiaoyu arrived as Peak Master Dieyun went into seclusion again. Li Die obediently listened to her father, and everything went smoothly. Li Su could check on Peak Master Dieyun’s condition through magical restrictions within the mansion, ensuring her well-being.
The birth of their child seemed to have worked wonders, as it caused Peak Master Dieyun’s inner demon to disappear. Now, with this change, she could break through to the Unity stage more quickly, benefiting from the system’s enhancements.
Li Su couldn’t predict how long it would take for Peak Master Dieyun to reach the Unity stage, but he hoped it would be sooner rather than later. If she took too long, Li Su might reach the Unity stage before her when she emerged from seclusion, creating a splendid and charming scene.
Thinking about her allure, Li Su began to feel nostalgic. With Tao Yao by his side, he pulled this enchanting woman into his room once again. Tao Yao had been with Li Su for many years but had not become pregnant. One month later, Li Su’s cultivation suddenly broke through to the late Refinement Void stage.
