Chapter 395: Chapter 291: Qingchan Ancestor’s Recent Situation, Auction Begins (4K)

Su Yu paused for a moment, carefully organizing his words, and asked:

"I remember the lifespan limit of a Celestial Immortal is a full cycle of one yuan. What is the current status of the forefather?"

"You want to ask how many more years the forefather can live, right?"

"Yes."

Qingchan did not say it directly, but transmitted his voice:

"The forefather’s lifespan is less than a thousand years away from the Celestial Immortal’s limit of one yuan. He has been in seclusion for the most part of the past thousand years, trying to advance further, but breakthroughs generally occur during one’s prime, and it’s extremely difficult to progress further when one’s lifespan is nearing its end." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

It’s more than difficult; it’s almost impossible.

If one cannot break through in their youth, then in the declining phase, where all conditions deteriorate, breakthrough becomes even more unlikely.

"Does your branch of the family have any successors now? I see that Father-in-law and Brother have decent cultivation levels; they should have an Immortal’s demeanor, right?"

Qingchan pondered for a moment and nodded:

"In the main branch, there are not less than ten clansmen with the demeanor of an Immortal or who have a chance to cross that step, but whether someone will ultimately take that step is difficult to say; perhaps there will not be even one."

"Hmm..."

Su Yu had something to say but thought about Qingchan’s family situation and remained silent.

Speaking about the demeanor of an Immortal is not difficult; which Super-grade Immortal Foundation doesn’t have the demeanor of an Immortal? For top-tier Immortal families like the Zhongyuan Luo family, holding resources beyond common imagination, they can forcibly pile Super-grade Immortal Foundations.

Every generation can produce a Super-grade Immortal Foundation; even if there is one per hundred years, there are thousands in ten thousand years.

However, the Zhongyuan Luo family has existed for over ten thousand years and thousands of generations, yet only five Immortals have been born.

Except for the patriarch, Qingchan’s branch hasn’t produced a second Immortal in thousands of generations, illustrating how low the probability is.

The step from Earth Immortal to Celestial Immortal is the distinction between Immortals and mortals, and the difficulty is greater than the sum of all previous major realms.

"Do not slack off, do not be careless!"

Su Yu took a deep breath, warning himself internally.

"Since the forefather’s lifespan is nearing its end, why has the family not arranged a marriage alliance?"

Luo Qingchan asked curiously:

"Why should we arrange a marriage alliance?"

"A marriage alliance is unnecessary; the family has been passed down for ten thousand years, and those who needed to be allied did so long ago. All famous Immortal families on this island are related by marriage to my family; it’s just a matter of proximity."

"Additionally, you should know that the patriarchs of the other four branches are descendants of the forefather, albeit split off; even if the forefather truly passes away, no one would dare bully us."

"Oh!"

"Indeed, a marriage alliance is unnecessary."

Su Yu nodded in understanding.

The two chatted while on the road, and time passed quickly; before they knew it, they had arrived at the eastern main city.

The auction at Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was still half a month away, so they rented a cave abode in the eastern main city to stay temporarily.

Raising the cave abode’s barriers, opening the Sea Suppressing Realm Gate, Vast Sea and Qingchan met once again, as intimately as before.

Su Yu summoned the four women and solemnly announced:

"This is my wife, Luo Qingchan!"

"These four are the maids I saved from a magical treasure; they are now companions True Spirits within this realm."

The four women had already come to terms, and they bowed to Qingchan in unison:

"Greetings, Madam!"

Qingchan smiled slightly, gesturing gracefully:

"Sisters, please rise."

Before coming, Su Yu already mentioned them to Qingchan, so she was mentally prepared:

"You have all faced great hardships; it’s fortunate your True Spirit wasn’t extinguished. You can now peacefully cultivate here, assisting my husband and me. If my husband attains the Dao one day, we can all ascend together."

"Madam is gracious!"

With a few words, the women quickly grew familiar with each other.

Afterward, Qingchan stayed in the Sea Suppressing Realm daily for cultivation, discussing and debating the Dao with Vast Sea, while the four women served obediently beside them.

In a separate domain of the Sea Suppressing Realm, a space was allocated solely for his parents and other family members to cultivate.

Su Yu hadn’t planned on letting his parents and brothers know the true nature of the Sea Suppressing Realm; their current strength is insufficient to maintain the secret. It’s best to wait until his cultivation advances further before revealing it.

For example, when he attains Earth Immortal status, his own strength will be greatly enhanced, the power of the Sea-Suppressing Pearl further amplified, and Vast Sea likely elevates to level 300 to become an Immortal, with adequate strength to protect everything.

"Hmm, there’s such a shop?"

Su Yu’s gaze landed on the light screen—it’s a shop specializing in selling various Spirit Beasts, including many tamed Spirit Beasts and even Immortal Beasts.

Immortal Cranes, Spirit Deer, Multicolored Koi, Spirit Tigers, Spirit Monkeys, and more, all available.

He said to the women sharing tea by the hearth:

"Look at this; there’s some emptiness inside the Sea Suppressing Realm, so we can purchase some Spirit Beasts to raise in there."

Qingchan leaned over to look, nodded:

"We can raise more; moreover, you can look at those strong Immortal Beasts, as they’ll grow into powerful allies upon adulthood."

Xia Xiaoyue agreed:

"Sister is right; after all, time within the Sea Suppressing Realm flows a hundred times faster than outside. Ten years outside equals a thousand years inside, allowing even long-lived turtle-like Immortal Beasts to mature swiftly."

"Then I’ll have a look."

Su Yu focused on the display panel, browsing attentively, soon forming some ideas, touching to manipulate:

"I plan to purchase a batch of Immortal Cranes, Spirit Monkeys, Spirit Deer to raise in the mountains, and a batch of Multicolored Koi and Flood Dragons to raise in the water."

The shop offers True Dragons, but they’re too expensive; a peerless True Dragon hatchling template costs 200,000 gold.

Spending that amount is less worthwhile than buying a batch of Flood Dragons and nurturing them, eventually stimulating their bloodline to advance using the Power of Origin.

After buying ordinary Spirit Beasts, Su Yu browsed the advanced Spirit Beast section, spending 300,000 gold to diligently select several high-tier Immortal Beasts.

The hatchling of a Covering Sea Dragon Turtle, with a legendary template, started at level 53, already the size of a small building. The description mentions that if it rises above level 200, it can grow to a diameter of over ten kilometers, equivalent to a floating island.
