Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

All three of Han Li’s wives at the Li Manor could bear offspring with Fourth Grade aptitude, among whom Xue Qingyi was less than half a year away from giving birth, while Chu Xianlin and Song Zhixuan had just recently become pregnant, needing approximately eight and nine months, respectively.

However, Han Li also had many other concubines at the Li Manor, whose offspring would be born in four or five months.

They all had Fifth or Sixth Grade aptitudes, and Han Li himself possessed Fourth Grade aptitude. The greatest possibility for their first child was to have Fifth Grade aptitude, although it was also possible to have Fourth or Sixth Grade aptitude.

Han Li believed that the birth of these descendants would be enough to elevate his aptitude to Third Grade.

But Han Li didn’t want to wait any longer.

There were just over two months left until the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm’s emergence, and it was highly unlikely he would reach Third Grade aptitude by then. Han Li also planned to capture a female Demon King and bring her back.

Rather than breaking through to the True Martial Realm when the time came, he’d prefer to break through now. Being stronger was always a good thing.

His combat ability was at the later stages of the True Martial Realm, so theoretically, it should be easy to capture the female Demon King, who was only at the early stages of the True Martial Realm. However, since the female Demon King came from the Demon Clan and was tasked with fighting for the Dragon Ball, who knew whether those Demon Emperors or even greater beings had given her powerful treasures?

He had to capture the female Demon King quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly, and then relocate her swiftly, lest the Demon Clan trace her whereabouts, which would be truly troublesome.

If a Demon Emperor were to take action because of this, Han Li felt that he wouldn’t be in for anything good.

Therefore, Han Li thought it would be safer to break through to the True Martial Realm. After advancing, his strength would see a significant increase, and he could at least reach the peak combat ability of the True Martial Realm.

By then, even if the female Demon King had any powerful treasures, Han Li would be able to easily suppress her. Should the Demon Emperor come to kill, he would also have the capability to resist for a while.

After making the decision, Han Li planned to check the rest of the System updates and then begin his breakthrough.

Hence, Han Li continued examining the System notifications. These were several upgrade prompts for the System. The Longevity Family System had evolved to version 2.0, seemingly with some added functions. Han Li immediately began to understand them.

The more Han Li browsed through the System update content, the more astonished he became, and his face soon revealed joy and excitement.

After some understanding, Han Li found that the System upgrade had added the following contents:

First, the System Space was unlocked. The System Space’s length, width, and height each measured ten thousand li. It could be used for storage, to harbor life, and also to block prying eyes.

If a life form wished to enter the System Space, it had to be voluntary; one could not force another into the System Space;

Life forms could only stay in the System Space for one day, after which, if they did not leave, they would automatically die, unless the being had become immortal. Otherwise, they could not resist the related rules.

Second, mutual cultivation benefits. Wives and concubines who dual cultivate with the master will enjoy the effects of dual cultivation, but only the cultivation of the wives and concubines will improve. This effect is ineffective for the master.

The prerequisite for enjoying the benefits of dual cultivation is to become the master’s wife or concubine through an official wedding ceremony; otherwise, it is invalid.

The effect of dual cultivation depends on the master’s realm. For example, if Han Li is in the True Martial Realm, then his wives and concubines are considered to be dual cultivating with someone at the True Martial Realm, and they will receive a corresponding increase in their dual cultivation cultivation level.

Third, the System has unlocked the Treasure Box function. It automatically refreshes once a year, and the treasure box will contain one treasure, the grade of which will depend on the master’s realm, plus or minus four grades.

There are three chances for active refresh every month: the first one requiring five years of cultivation, the second fifty years, and the third five hundred years.

Seeing the new functions added to the System, Han Li was so delighted he almost cheered. The System was indeed powerful.

With the System Space, he could retire his Spatial Bracelet. With its length, width, and height each measuring ten thousand li, its size was immense, capable of containing countless items.

From now on, storing his items in the System Space meant he no longer had to worry about his Spatial Bracelet being destroyed in battle and the treasures inside being shattered by the chaotic spatial flows.

He also didn’t need to worry about others stealing his Spatial Bracelet, and another feature of the System Space was its ability to block prying eyes.

This meant that if he could get his hands on someone else’s refined treasures and place them in the System Space, the original owners would not be able to track them down, having no idea where the treasures had gone.

What made Han Li most delighted was that the System Space could carry life; this was extremely domineering.

Although there was only one day’s time, Han Li felt it was completely sufficient.

With his current speed, he could travel at least two hundred million li in a quarter of an hour; in one day, he could cover the entire Qianyuan Divine Province.

The System Space was so vast that, in times of crisis, he could directly take all his beloved wives and beautiful concubines from the Han Mansion and the Li Manor, as well as their offspring and family members, all in one go.

As long as he released them within a day, there would be no problem at all.

This greatly increased Han Li’s ability to mitigate risks; he wouldn’t have to worry about his years of hard work being destroyed in an instant during an encounter with a major enemy, requiring him to start all over again, which would be truly lamentable.

The System Space might not compare to the small worlds that Han Li so desperately yearned for, but for the current Han Li, it was already enough.

Used properly, he could go anywhere beneath the heavens and earth, and his restrictions would be even fewer.

With the System Space, Han Li made a silent decision: once he cultivated to the Divine Yuan Realm, he would combine the Han Mansion and the Li Manor. This way, in times of emergency, he could directly take everyone with him; otherwise, mistakes might occur, potentially leading to the destruction of one of the families by the enemy.

The second function after the System upgrade also made Han Li very happy; he had been looking forward to this function, and now it was finally available.

The 1.0 version of the Longevity Family System could only allow him to rapidly increase his own cultivation, while the offspring were only being nurtured incidentally, relying on the medicinal pills rewarded by the System.
