Chapter 70: Finally Discovered
Upon hearing Li Ziyao’s words, Li Xiaojun fell into thought.
After a moment, he said to his group of daughters, “Lower-grade acquired divine demon roots require one trillion spirit stones, medium acquired divine demon roots need one hundred trillion spirit stones, and upper-grade requires one quadrillion.”
After a pause, Li Xiaojun added, “The main point is, I can only enhance your spirit roots to upper-grade acquired divine demon roots at most.”
Upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, everyone fell silent.
One quadrillion spirit stones is an enormous number.
A large spirit stone mine can yield only several millions or tens of millions of spirit stones.
To have a mine reaching over a hundred million spirit stones, it needs to be a super large vein.
On a single planet, having several hundred or even a thousand spirit stone mines is the maximum.
This means that at most a single planet can yield a few hundred billion to a thousand billion spirit stones.
To extract one quadrillion spirit stones, it would take at least more than ten thousand planets.
Moreover, Li Xiaojun absorbs low-grade spirit stones very slowly; he prefers superior grade and superior grade spirit stones.
Among these, superior grade spirit stones are exceedingly rare.
So, according to Li Xiaojun’s quoted price, enhancing one person’s spirit roots to upper-grade acquired divine demon roots could essentially deplete all the spirit stone mines of the entire Cultivation Alliance.
That’s why Li Xiaojun’s daughters fell silent after hearing his quote.
Of course, the price Li Xiaojun quoted was exaggerated.
In reality, it would only take one hundred billion to enhance the spirit roots to medium acquired divine demon roots, and one thousand billion spirit stones to elevate them to upper-grade acquired divine demon roots, rather than the exaggerated one quadrillion (one trillion). He inflated the price by a thousand times.
To upgrade from upper-grade acquired divine demon roots to lower innate divine demon roots, it would only require one hundred billion (one hundred trillion). This is roughly equivalent to the energy value needed for the next system upgrade.
Medium innate divine demons require one hundred trillion energy values.
Upper innate divine demons likely require a thousand trillion energy values.
As for breaking through from innate divine demons to chaotic divine demons, even the lower chaotic divine demons would increase the price by one hundred times.
Thus, the lower chaotic divine demon roots would require around ten million trillion energy values.
Medium chaotic divine demons demand one hundred million trillion energy values.
Upper chaotic divine demons would require one billion trillion energy values.
This price is something Li Ziwei and the others could potentially afford if they were only enhancing to innate divine demons.
However, the system is only level three, allowing enhancements to upper-grade acquired divine demons at most.
To elevate to chaotic divine demons would probably require two more upgrades.
Based on the system’s price inflation of one thousand times with each upgrade, two upgrades would likely necessitate about one hundred million trillion energy values.
The most troublesome part is that absorbing spirit stones to accumulate energy values takes time.
At Li Xiaojun’s current rate of absorbing spirit stones, he would need over a million years to upgrade the system.
Then, if Li Xiaojun wants to elevate one daughter to upper chaotic divine demons, he would need to spend another million years to accumulate energy values.
The cost of consuming time like this is indeed too great.
If he wants to enhance the spirit roots of all his daughters to upper chaotic divine demon roots, it would likely take tens of millions of years.
Of course, his daughters must also cultivate to the true immortal realm to live for millions of years.
It is precisely because of this complexity that Li Xiaojun decisively stated he can only enhance his daughters to upper-grade acquired divine demon roots at most.
“How do you all feel about this?”
That day, in the Empress’s palace, Li Xiaojun was absent, and only his nine daughters were inside, discussing matters.
“Eldest sister Ziwei, I have nearly exhausted all the superior grade and top-grade spirit stones in our family. To gather one trillion spirit stones, I still need at least a hundred years,” Dantai Feixian said to Li Ziwei.
“I am in the same situation. It may take me over a hundred years to gather that much.”
“I’m about the same!”
The others agreed, expressing similar sentiments.
“It seems we can only enhance our spirit roots once. While upper-grade acquired divine demon roots are good, they consume too many spirit stones.”
“I plan to gather over a hundred billion spirit stones and then ascend to the Immortal Realm. At that time, I hope my family will look out for my sisters!”
“That’s only natural.”
“Sisters, listen to me.”
At that moment, Li Ziwei spoke to everyone. When all eyes turned to her, she spoke lightly.
“Sisters, have you noticed something? The probability of our family’s descendants giving birth to children with spirit root talent has greatly increased.”
Upon hearing Li Ziwei’s words, Qin Xue nodded.
“I noticed this too. In my Qin family, especially among my direct descendants, almost all the children have spirit roots, at least low-level spirit roots; if we are lucky, we might even see middle-grade spirit roots.”
“Yes, I’ve noticed the same in my Gongyang family,” Gongyang Mu Ci added.
“Everyone, why do you think this is happening? Has anyone thought about it?” Li Ziwei asked everyone.
“Sister, do you think this could be related to Dad?” Li Ziyao quickly suggested.
Hearing this, everyone showed thoughtful expressions.
“It really could be.”
“This phenomenon never occurred before, but ever since Father appeared, the probability of our descendants giving birth to children with spirit root talent has increased significantly.”
“Plus, considering Father’s special physique, I have reason to suspect this is likely connected to him.”
“Moreover, have you noticed that families giving birth to spirit root offspring are mostly our direct descendants, rather than the broader family branches, similar to ordinary people?”
“If it were just our Gongyang family experiencing this, it could be brushed off, but now, as long as anyone has our father’s bloodline, their direct descendants are experiencing this, which confirms that this is definitely related to Father.”
“We can ask him about it later.”
Li Ziwei said to everyone, “Don’t you realize how important this is for us?”
“What do you mean?”
“Sisters, what do we need to enhance our spirit roots? We need a large amount of spirit stones.”
“And now that our direct descendants can give birth to children with spirit roots, what does this represent? It means the number of cultivators in our Cultivation Alliance could double, enabling us to accelerate the expansion of the Human Race.”
“My plan is for our direct descendants to have more children. As long as we nurture them well, the Human Race can expand to control five hundred thousand star systems within ten thousand years; this is entirely possible.
Once this happens, I can obtain more spirit stone resources, and then becoming upper-grade acquired divine demon roots will no longer be a dream.”
“With upper-grade acquired divine demon roots, we can cultivate without bottlenecks to the true immortal realm, where we can live for millions of years. So, what do you all think?”
Upon hearing Li Ziwei’s words, everyone’s eyes lit up.
Cultivating without bottlenecks to become a True Immortal and living for millions of years—who wouldn’t want that?
All they needed to do was encourage their direct descendants to have more children.
