Chapter 53: System Upgrade Again
"I can’t."
Li Xiaojun shook his head directly.
"An Immortal spirit root is already the limit."
Li Xiaojun didn’t want to reveal a better talent than Immortal spirit roots, as that would bring him trouble.
"Fine, if you can give birth to an Immortal spirit root child, I will give you one billion spirit stones," Liu Hongxia said lightly to Li Xiaojun.
One billion spirit stones meant nothing to Liu Hongxia, a Tribulation stage great emperor.
Even a hundred thousand years ago, the Biyun Xianzong, a sect of Transformation stage cultivators, could afford one billion spirit stones.
Now, the Human Race had expanded beyond Taihuang Star, controlling one hundred thousand star systems, and the spirit stone mines were practically endless.
So, for Liu Hongxia, one billion spirit stones was just a small amount.
However, Immortal spirit roots were different. They represented a guaranteed path to becoming a great emperor and ascension.
If nurtured well, they could definitely become Liu Hongxia’s greatest support in the future.
"Hongxia, you first give me one billion spirit stones. I need to absorb the spirit stones before I can cultivate the seeds of the Immortal spirit roots," Li Xiaojun told Liu Hongxia.
After hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Liu Hongxia thought for a moment and nodded.
The next moment, a pile of superior grade spirit stones, around a thousand in total, floated before Li Xiaojun.
Seeing so many superior grade spirit stones, Li Xiaojun was overjoyed. With a wave of his hand, he stored the spirit stones in his system space.
"You have a spatial item?" Liu Hongxia asked Li Xiaojun.
"Yes," Li Xiaojun nodded.
"Show it to me."
"I can’t; it’s something I was born with," Li Xiaojun shook his head.
"Bring him!"
Soon, one of her subordinates came to the hall.
"Your Majesty."
"Take him to Guest Palace No. 1," Liu Hongxia instructed her subordinate.
"Yes."
Quickly, that subordinate led Li Xiaojun away and arranged for him to stay in a palace.
Li Xiaojun went with the flow. Once he arrived at the palace, he immediately began to absorb the spirit stones.
Superior grade spirit stones had an absorption effect over ten times that of low-grade spirit stones.
Thus, just after a month, he had completely absorbed the superior grade spirit stones valued at one billion low-grade spirit stones.
Of course, during this process, Liu Hongxia also arranged for a woman for him.
He and Liu Hongxia agreed that the frequency of arranging women should be once a month, as too frequent encounters would be harmful to him.
Liu Hongxia agreed and promised him a woman every month.
System Notification: Energy value has broken through one billion, can upgrade…
"Upgrade!"
When the energy value reached one billion meat, Li Xiaojun decisively chose to upgrade the system.
He hoped that this system upgrade would help him solve his cultivation problems.
Half a month later.
System Notification: System upgrade complete…
Once the system upgrade was complete, Li Xiaojun quickly checked the system features.
The system had reached level 3, maintaining the previous functions, and now it added three more features.
The first feature was Bloodline Information Enhancement.
The system could detect individuals who shared Li Xiaojun’s bloodline, and he could enhance the talents of these descendants by bloodline.
Of course, this feature would also allow Li Xiaojun to know who his descendants were, preventing any incidents where an ancestor unknowingly slept with their own descendants.
In addition, this skill also counted the number of his descendants.
Currently, there were 3,248,764,764 people in the entire cultivation world with Li Xiaojun’s bloodline.
That was over three billion people.
This meant Li Xiaojun had three billion blood relatives.
Incredible.
…
However, this was understandable.
First of all, his descendants were all top figures and elite families within the Cultivation Alliance.
Secondly, a hundred thousand years had passed.
After a hundred thousand years of development and legacy, three billion bloodlines were not too many, considering there were trillions of people in the Human Race.
Aside from the Bloodline Information Enhancement feature,
the second feature was the Fortune Collection feature.
The so-called Fortune Collection meant that Li Xiaojun could collect the remaining fortune from his bloodline descendants after they passed away.
Fortune was something extremely mysterious.
When ordinary people had fortune, their lives would be exceedingly smooth, leading to great wealth and status.
When cultivators had great fortune, even with average spirit root talent, they could rely on that fortune to break through barriers and reach high levels of cultivation.
Fortune was something that even the big shots in the Immortal Realm would greatly value.
This feature was incredibly powerful.
Right after the system upgrade was complete, Li Xiaojun noticed that the fortune value on the system panel was already increasing.
This indicated that some of his descendants were continuously passing away.
This was understandable, as there were over eight billion people on Earth, with around one hundred fifty thousand dying every day.
He had three billion bloodline descendants, and the estimated number of deaths each day would not be too few.
Aside from the Fortune Collection feature,
the third feature was the one Li Xiaojun valued the most, the function that would allow him to cultivate.
This feature was named — Inheritance.
He could inherit the cultivation level of his deceased descendants!
In other words, when his descendants passed away, he could receive their cultivation level at that time.
However, he could only inherit one ten-thousandth of their cultivation level.
For example, if Liu Hongxia died now, he could directly inherit one ten-thousandth of Liu Hongxia’s cultivation level.
Fortunately, there was no limit to the amount of cultivation level he could inherit from his descendants.
The more descendants he had, the more cultivation level he could gain from their deaths.
Incredible, this was equivalent to making him soar high into the sky.
He wouldn’t even need to cultivate; he just had to wait, and he could inherit the cultivation levels once his descendants passed away.
As Li Xiaojun checked the system page, a prompt for allocation points appeared on his screen.
After his descendants died, their cultivation level would turn into cultivation value on the system panel.
As long as Li Xiaojun chose to allocate points, he could gain that cultivation level.
At that moment, Li Xiaojun’s system panel showed 1 point of cultivation level.
Just a minute ago, in the distant starry sky, a fully-realized Qi-refining stage cultivator had just met their end.
Without hesitation, Li Xiaojun chose to allocate points.
In the next moment, he felt a thread of true Qi appear within his body.
However, this thread of true Qi was far too little.
With this effect, Li Xiaojun estimated he would need around 100 points of cultivation level to break through to the first level of Qi Training.
What Li Xiaojun didn’t know was that this thread of true Qi was dozens of times more condensed than that of an ordinary cultivator.
Most importantly, Li Xiaojun only needed to allocate points to enhance his strength; he didn’t even need to practice cultivation techniques, which meant it would come naturally.
The three features introduced after the system update made Li Xiaojun very satisfied.
However, when he saw the energy value required for the next system upgrade, he immediately felt discouraged.
Because the energy value needed for the next system upgrade was one hundred trillion, which was ten billion spirit stones multiplied by ten thousand.
The first system upgrade required only one hundred thousand energy value, then the second increased by ten thousand times, directly reaching one billion energy value.
Now, it increased by another ten thousand times, directly reaching one hundred trillion spirit stones.
Such a large number was astronomical for Li Xiaojun.
Moreover, even if he had that many spirit stones, absorbing them all would likely take a significant amount of time.
