186: Taking a concubine?

Because of Ye Qingling's arrival, the Su Family even held a banquet. However, it was an internal affair, only open to core members of the clan; many branch members of lower status were not eligible to attend.

The Su Family's power was currently expanding very rapidly, so the gap in status had to be made distinct.

If the Su Family wanted to firmly control the Eastern Region, and even larger territories in the future, they needed to operate similarly to the twenty-one high-level members of the Ye Family at that time.

Having each person control a portion of the resources, which would eventually converge within the Family, was the best way to manage things.

Of course, all of this was centered around the several Grand Elders of the Direct Line; they were the ones who made the final decisions.

Each Elder had others under their command, and this network continued to expand outward. Other core personnel of the Su Family also worked around the several Grand Elders of the Direct Line.

When everyone in the Su Family learned what Su Chen had done in the Southern Region, they were all so shocked they were left speechless.

Su Chen could actually slay Pseudo-Emperor experts. Just hearing such news felt somewhat surreal, and it was five Pseudo-Emperor experts at that.

Especially Su Yuanba and the others; after hearing Ye Wushang recount Su Chen's exploits in the Southern Region, they were filled with immense admiration.

He is terrifyingly powerful!

Su Yunqian said with a grave expression, "Just how many things about this kid do we still not know?"

Su Yuanba looked toward Ye Wushang with curiosity and asked:

"You said Chen'er is an Immortal Reincarnation. Could you explain that in more detail?"

Upon hearing those words, everyone else immediately turned their attention toward him. They were all very curious about what exactly was going on with Su Chen.

Ye Wushang shook his head with a wry smile. "I don't know much about Immortal Reincarnations either. In short, they are just extremely powerful. According to the Ye Family's records, there was once an Immortal Reincarnation in the Profound Sky Realm."

"The records state that the Immortal Reincarnation was born as a Saint, reached the Saint Venerable Realm by age three, broke through to become a Great Emperor at age nine, reached the Great Emperor Peak Realm at age thirteen, and then stepped into the Heavenly Gate to undergo Ascension."

"Before ascending, he even slew two Great Emperors of the Demon Race and one Great Emperor of the Yao Race, all of whom were at the Late Stage of the Great Emperor Realm, just a step away from the Peak Realm."

"What!?"

The group of people were all dumbstruck. That terrifying?

"Born as a Saint, Saint Venerable at three, and Great Emperor Peak Realm at thirteen?"

"Is he even human?"

"Are Immortal Reincarnations powerful to this extent?"

Ye Wushang continued to shake his head, saying, "Of course, these are all just legends. I'm not sure how true they are. After all, it was far too long ago—it was back in the era of the Ye Family's first Great Emperor."

"But the fact that it was recorded means there's a high probability it's true."

"Hiss!"

The sound of sharp intakes of breath rang out. Su Yuanba and the others looked at each other, feeling that this seemed to match Su Chen's situation perfectly.

He was mediocre at first, but then he suddenly possessed means that could change the very world, and he could even create terrifying Physiques like Saint Physiques out of thin air. His strength had also become unfathomable.

Although he was different from that legendary Immortal Reincarnation, both were incredibly powerful and mysterious.

If one were to say Su Chen had undergone Possession, even if a Great Emperor expert had possessed him, they wouldn't have been able to achieve what he had.

So, that possibility was basically ruled out.

Thus, being an Immortal Reincarnation was the best explanation for everything about Su Chen.

Hearing this from the side, Ye Qingling also felt a secret wave of anxiety. If Su Chen was an Immortal Reincarnation, was he still her child?

But the moment that thought appeared, she crushed it.

No matter what, Su Chen had come from her own womb. Even if Su Chen didn't acknowledge her, she would still treat him as her own child.

Ye Qingling was, after all, a member of the Ye Family's Direct Line and had heard of many things. Immortal Reincarnations were supposed to carry memories of their past lives.

But so what?

She didn't really care.

In the time that followed, the Profound Sky Realm fell into a state of tranquility, and everyone seemed to become much more low-key.

Ye Qingling would occasionally go to chat with Su Chen. The bond between mother and son grew warmer day by day. Within half a year, it was almost like a normal relationship, no longer as distant as when they first met.

After all, their blood relation was right there. When Ye Qingling treated Su Chen, she was extremely caring.

That overflowing maternal love was something Su Chen found a bit difficult to handle.

Therefore, it was naturally impossible for him to be cold toward Ye Qingling. Su Chen would even occasionally take the initiative to make their relationship more lively.

To him, the path of longevity was long. If he could always have Family and friends by his side, it would be a very beautiful thing.

Many people were single-mindedly focused on pursuing the Dao, their mortal hearts extinguished as they abandoned friendship and Family, with only the Dao in their hearts.

But Su Chen had no such thoughts.

However, single-mindedly pursuing the Dao was also the way to achieve the highest growth, because one could remain completely focused.

Ascending the Heavenly Gate and entering the Immortal Realm actually felt a bit like that.

If one stayed in the Profound Sky Realm, their strength at the Great Emperor Peak Realm could not continue to break through. If they left, their Family and friends could not accompany them.

After going to the Immortal Realm, one would be all alone.

However, many Great Emperor experts were already without parents or Family by the time they reached that level in the Profound Sky Realm.

This day.

Ye Qingling and Su Chen were sitting on chairs at the top of Mount Wangyun, chatting idly.

Suddenly, she asked with some curiosity:

"Chen'er, you're already this old, why haven't you thought about finding a woman? You're so outstanding, it shouldn't be difficult."

"Huh?"

Su Chen was instantly stunned. Even after Transmigration, I still can't avoid being pressured to marry?

The expectation in Ye Qingling's tone was unmistakable; she clearly wanted him to find a woman quickly.

Su Chen coughed twice: "I'm not considering it for the time being."

"Eh, what's the big deal?"

Ye Qingling said with a smile, "It's very normal for powerful Cultivators to have many wives. If you really don't have anyone you like, you can take a Concubine first. We can look for one for you when the time comes."

"The Su Family's influence is great enough. If we put out a call, never mind the Eastern Region, even the outstanding women of the entire Profound Sky Realm will take the initiative to come to your door for you to choose from."

"It's just a Concubine anyway; you can just favor her occasionally. When you meet someone you like later, you can take her as your Primary Wife."

"Huh?"

Su Chen looked at Ye Qingling in a daze. He could hardly imagine that these words were actually coming out of her mouth.

But it seemed normal. In this world, having multiple wives was common sense. Ye Qingling wouldn't even mind much if Su Qingtian took a Concubine.

It was just that Su Qingtian didn't have those kinds of thoughts.

Looking at the expectant look on Ye Qingling's face, Su Chen didn't know how to refuse for a moment.

"This... isn't very good, is it?"

Ye Qingling stood up straight away and said decisively, "Alright, then it's settled. I'll go and make arrangements for you, okay?"

After saying that, she turned and left.

Looking at her back, Su Chen couldn't help but let out a wry smile. He knew Ye Qingling probably wanted to have a grandson.

But this was a bit too rushed.

His current strength was so great that it would be extremely difficult to produce offspring. How could it be that easy?

As his little Maidservant, Ruoxi would occasionally serve him in bed, and even after all this time, she hadn't gotten pregnant.

But Su Chen didn't directly refuse Ye Qingling. This was a wish of hers, and it wouldn't cause Su Chen any loss; it was nothing more than having another woman around.

Not long after, a piece of news spread from Mount Wangyun, instantly driving countless prodigious women in the Profound Sky Realm into a frenzy..."}],
