Chapter 210: Chapter 202: Celestial Chosen Protagonist! More Children, More Blessings!
After a brief moment.
The Fifth Peak, within the Scripture Pavilion.
Books of cultivation techniques were stacked like walls, piled into mountains.
Elder Mei looked at Chen Zhixing, who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the ’walls’, and kindly reminded:
"Third Young Master, biting off more than you can chew isn’t wise. With so many books, who knows how long it will take to finish them all? Why not take it slowly?"
"It’s fine, Elder Mei, you can go ahead and attend to your matters, no need to worry about me."
Chen Zhixing casually pulled a book from the side and began reading.
"Well... alright then, if you need anything, just call for me anytime."
Elder Mei nodded and turned to leave.
And Chen Zhixing soon entered a state of meditation, completely immersed in the countless cultivation techniques of the Great Tao!
"The seventh Great Tao, perhaps I should start with the Innate Five Elements, including wind, rain, thunder, and lightning..."
Chen Zhixing murmured to himself.
...
...
Meanwhile.
In Huai State, within the East Profound Thirteen States.
Celestial Gate City.
The Li Mansion, occupying a thousand acres, was filled with joy today.
The lavish main gate, able to accommodate three carriages side by side, was adorned with festive decorations and strings of red lanterns hanging.
Two striking ’Happiness’ characters were posted on the vermilion gate studded with brass rivets.
The entire Li Mansion was bustling up and down, with a wedding procession stretching like a long dragon on the street.
From afar, the sound of gongs, drums, and crackling firecrackers from the procession could be heard.
Moreover, luxurious carriages of guests arrived from all directions, eventually gathering at the Li Mansion’s entrance, bringing their congratulatory gifts.
"Congratulations to the old patriarch for marrying yet another young concubine!"
"Best wishes to the old patriarch for stepping into the Nirvana Realm! May you achieve longevity and eternal prosperity!"
"The old patriarch remains vigorous and accomplished great things late in life! In the future, he will surely be renowned across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, ruling the Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses!"
Each powerhouse of Huai State beamed with laughter as they presented various rare treasures.
"The Sikong family of Huai State presents a pair of Ink Jade Qilin cubs!"
When the master of ceremonies took a deep breath and announced it loudly.
The entire Li Mansion was in an uproar!
The Sikong family of Huai State, one of the Longevity Families of this era!
Moreover, they were a top-tier giant of Huai State!
Today, with the Li family’s old patriarch’s grand wedding, the presence of the Sikong family with gifts signified that the Li family’s old patriarch had thoroughly risen to become the new nobility of Huai State!
For a moment, countless guests traversing the Li Mansion couldn’t help but cast envious glances.
"Oh, this Li family’s old patriarch is truly blessed. Not only did he marry the 109th concubine, but he also broke through to the Nirvana Realm and established connections with the Sikong family."
"From now on, the Li family’s old patriarch might be able to walk with pride throughout Huai State!"
"This Li family patriarch is indeed low-key; if it weren’t for the attack on the Li Mansion a few days ago, who knows how much longer he would have hidden his power!"
"It’s indeed peculiar; ten years ago, this Li family’s old patriarch was only at the Nourishing Spirit cultivation level. How did he inexplicably step into the Nirvana Realm in just ten years?"
"Yeah, it’s said that this Li family’s old patriarch had only the talent of one Ancient Pattern back then, and breaking through to the Nourishing Spirit Realm was already a blessing. How did he leap to become a Nirvana Realm Great Power?"
"Who knows? Now this Li family’s old patriarch is truly flourishing, having a harem of 109 wives, none over eighteen!"
"I’m not envious of this Li family patriarch breaking through to the Nirvana Realm, but him having 109 wives, that I truly envy!"
The guests, with heads lowered, exchanged whispers of amazement.
At the same time.
Staying in the side chamber, Li Changsheng, the Li family’s old patriarch, let three concubines dress and groom him, yet he couldn’t bring himself to be happy.
"Everyone, leave, please."
Li Changsheng waved his hand, as if remembering something, and asked, "Today is my grand wedding; don’t forget to tell the family traditions to the descendants."
The young women, with charming looks, exchanged glances and responded with smiles:
"Don’t worry, husband, your family precepts are repeated daily; how could we forget?"
"Recite them." Li Changsheng said.
"There are three forms of unfiliality, having no descendants being the greatest!"
"Our Li Clan must ensure prosperity and flourish, spreading its branches!"
"Getting married and having children, low-key development, is our Li Clan’s greatest goal!"
Upon hearing these words, Li Changsheng’s face finally softened a bit, and he nodded, signaling the concubines to leave.
Once everyone had left.
Li Changsheng lifted a cup of wine alone, sipped it, smacked his lips, and let out a long breath.
"I hope this Saintess of the Profound Celestial Tao Sect can bear me some talented offspring."
Li Changsheng murmured to himself, listening to the distant sounds of gongs and drums, a hint of anticipation appeared on his face.
His name was Li Changsheng.
Born into an ordinary Cultivation Clan.
Though called a Cultivation Clan, it was practically no different from ordinary mortals.
His mother was only at the Body Cultivation Realm.
His father, slightly better, reached the Nourishing Spirit Realm.
In the Cultivation Realm, they were simply among the lowest of the low.
Named Changsheng, hoping for a longevity disposition, Li Changsheng’s cultivation talent turned out to be even worse than his prematurely deceased parents.
After testing over a dozen times, his cultivation talent was merely a pitiful single Ancient Pattern.
Not long after he was born, his unfortunate parents went to watch excitement and died from the aftermath of a battle between two Divine Travel Realm cultivators, both perishing.
The first thirty years of Li Changsheng’s life were spent diligently cultivating, striving to join various Sects.
However, being turned away dozens of times, not even able to serve as a servant, left Li Changsheng rather disheartened.
Time passed in a blur.
When Li Changsheng reached the age of one hundred, with a cultivation level barely reaching the Nourishing Spirit Realm, he was ready to die with regret, resigning himself to passing away.
Until one night, a mysterious ancient technique named [More Children, More Blessings] appeared in his mind.
This technique was absurd.
Because it required no cultivation; as long as he kept marrying and having children, he would gain their abilities!
Thus.
The dead wood bloomed, the iron tree blossomed.
At the age of one hundred, Li Changsheng squandered his entire fortune in one night, spending thousands of gold, marrying over a dozen women.
Through his nightly hard work.
Finally, heaven rewarded his diligent efforts.
This dozen women consecutively became pregnant and, fortunately, gave birth to a child with six Ancient Patterns!
From this point, joy descended from heaven.
Li Changsheng’s talent suddenly soared from a single Ancient Pattern to six.
With the improvement in talent.
Li Changsheng’s previously stagnant cultivation began advancing by leaps and bounds.
In just six months.
Li Changsheng broke through the nine minor realms of the Nourishing Spirit Realm consecutively, reaching the Void Transformation Realm in a single bound!
This made Li Changsheng more ecstatic, leading him to devote all his thoughts to the lifelong endeavor of marrying and having children!
More Children, More Blessings!
The stronger the offspring he bore, the stronger he became!
Not only could the talent of his offspring fortify him.
But even the cultivation levels of his offspring’s descendants could also rebound onto him!
Thus.
In a mere ten years, as his descendants multiplied exponentially, his cultivation levels skyrocketed at an astonishing rate!
After just ten years.
He transformed from a centenarian on the verge of passing away into one of the top great cultivators, a Nirvana Great Power of this era!
