Chapter 157: System’s Fourth Upgrade
On the life planet occupied by the Bull Tribe, Li Xiaojun did not find any members of the Human Race.
It seemed that the Human Race had been exterminated by the bull beasts.
However, there were some other beast tribes on this planet, such as the Pig Tribe, Rabbit Tribe, Snake Tribe, and so on.
These beast tribes were just ordinary groups; whenever any of these races broke through to become beasts, they would be hunted by the Bull Tribe.
In other words, the Bull Tribe allowed these races to exist on this planet but did not permit other races to become beasts and develop.
Li Xiaojun also discovered that bull beasts were actually carnivorous, while only the ordinary Bull Tribe consumed grass.
On this planet, Li Xiaojun found two beast emperor-level bull beasts, dozens of bull beasts at the Great Ascension stage, and over a thousand bull beasts at the Integration stage.
“Perfect, this is premium beef.”
Quickly, Li Xiaojun silently hunted down all the bull beasts at the Integration stage and above.
After finishing off all the bull beasts at the Integration stage and above, Li Xiaojun did not linger in the Bull Tribe’s territory but continued flying along the Hercules Arm towards the location of the Solar System.
Just shortly after Li Xiaojun left, the entire Bull Tribe on Harulu erupted in chaos, and countless bull beasts trembled in fear.
Almost overnight, all the strong ones at the Integration stage and above simply vanished without a trace.
How could this not frighten the entire Bull Tribe?
Even the powerful Bull Tribe members on other planets, upon hearing what happened on Harulu, did not rush over; instead, they fled, running to places where no one could find them.
Li Xiaojun was unaware of the chaos that erupted in the Bull Tribe after his departure.
He was flying forward at forty times the speed of light!
In the blink of an eye, seventy years had passed.
On this day, Li Xiaojun’s cultivation level broke through to the mid Earth Immortal realm.
His eldest daughter, Li Yuting, had just reached the early Earth Immortal realm.
Li Xiaojun could finally say he surpassed his daughter’s cultivation level for the first time.
At the moment Li Xiaojun broke through to the Earth Immortal realm, he learned from Li Ziyao that the Human Race and the beast tribe had formed a real boundary.
This boundary was defined by a nebula lying between the two races.
The Human Race began to explore the direction closer to the center of the Milky Way Arm.
On the other hand, the beast tribe explored in the opposite direction of the arm.
Currently, the Human Race had gained control of three hundred thousand stellar systems and five life planets.
These five life planets were Taihuang Star, Autumn Rain Star, Xiaojun Star, magic planet, and Ziwei Star.
Xiaojun Star was the life planet that had been jointly controlled by the Human Race and the beast tribe for a time.
The magic planet was the planet Li Xiaojun discovered himself.
Ziwei Star was named after Li Ziwei, as a payment for land ceded by the beast tribe.
The Human Race, after a development of one hundred seventy years, now has a total population exceeding thirty trillion!
Among this population, the number of Li Xiaojun’s bloodline descendants has grown the fastest.
In just one hundred seventy years, the number of his bloodline descendants reached an astonishing six hundred billion.
At this rate, it is believed that in less than fifty years, Li Xiaojun will be able to earn cultivation points exceeding ten million every day.
If he earns ten million daily, that totals to three billion in one year.
Li Xiaojun still needs six hundred billion cultivation points to break through from the mid Earth Immortal realm to the Heavenly Immortal realm.
At this speed, he would only need a little over one hundred sixty years to make that breakthrough.
Therefore, Li Xiaojun slightly underestimated the speed at which his descendants developed.
However, this is understandable, as humanity suddenly gained three complete life planets controlled entirely by the Human Race.
Considering the reproductive ability of humans, a total population that has only doubled in one hundred seventy years is quite slow.
If the Human Race could gain a few more life planets, not only would the population double, but it could easily multiply tenfold.
Unfortunately, the five life planets can only sustain so many humans; otherwise, Li Xiaojun would have even more bloodline descendants.
Currently, Li Xiaojun’s bloodline descendants give birth to tens of millions of babies every day, which makes him spend nearly two hundred million to strengthen their spirit roots each day.
Fortunately, Li Xiaojun can acquire immortal essence stones from the Immortal Realm, so the two hundred million energy value he spends daily is merely a small expense for him.
However, as he spends two hundred million energy values every day, the time needed to accumulate for his next system upgrade has also increased.
Previously, Li Xiaojun calculated that he would need nine hundred years for a system upgrade.
Now, with the daily expenditure of two hundred million energy values, he will need nearly one thousand years to accumulate enough energy for the next upgrade.
But it is worthwhile.
The more bloodline descendants he strengthens, the faster his cultivation level increases.
Seventy years later, Li Xiaojun’s cultivation level broke through to the Late Earth Immortal realm.
After another fifty years, he gained another breakthrough, reaching the early Heavenly Immortal realm.
Upon reaching the Heavenly Immortal realm, his flying speed directly exceeded eighty times the speed of light.
Currently, Li Xiaojun has been away from the Cultivation Alliance for 290 years.
He has flown over fifteen thousand light-years.
So next, he is about forty-seven thousand, nearly fifty thousand light-years away from the Solar System.
At Li Xiaojun’s current flying speed of eighty times the speed of light, he will reach the vicinity of the Solar System in just over six hundred years.
Time flew by.
More than four hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
[System Notification: Detected that energy value has surpassed one hundred trillion, upgrade available…]
“One hundred trillion energy values finally gathered; that was not easy.”
“Upgrade!”
Without hesitation, Li Xiaojun chose to upgrade.
A month later, the system upgrade was successful.
Li Xiaojun immediately checked the new features after the system upgrade.
First of all, after the upgrade, the energy value required for the next upgrade increased by ten thousand times, reaching one hundred trillion trillion, which is one hundred quadrillion energy values.
Although the system now absorbs immortal essence stones at a speed one hundred times faster, at this rate, Li Xiaojun will still need one hundred thousand years for another upgrade.
Moreover, with the energy value needing to be multiplied by ten thousand, the required immortal essence stones will also increase by ten thousand times.
This means approximately one hundred trillion immortal essence stones.
Considering that Li Yuting can provide him with one hundred thousand each month, and the other two daughters combined give nearly one hundred thousand immortal essence stones, he will need thirty-three thousand years to accumulate enough stones.
Additionally, the immortal essence stone vein they have mentioned is not endless.
So, for Li Xiaojun to upgrade the system again, he likely won’t be able to think about it for hundreds of thousands of years.
After reviewing the energy values needed for the hundred upgrades, Li Xiaojun formally looked at the system’s newly added functions.
The first feature was an enhanced version of the map function.
Previously, Li Xiaojun had to get close to targets opposing him for them to appear on the system map.
Now, after the upgrade, any hostile target appearing in places Li Xiaojun has been will be marked on the system map.
For example, Li Xiaojun noticed that there were hundreds of red dots marked on Autumn Rain Star.
On Taihuang Star, there were also dozens of spies from the beast tribe disguised.
The upgraded system not only marks the location of red dots but also shows their race, cultivation level, current appearance, and more.
“Ziyao, the spies from the beast tribe on Autumn Rain Star and Taihuang Star, here are their locations; go take care of them.”
Li Xiaojun directly sent the information about the beast tribe spies to Li Ziyao.
