"If we have a few children, can they be nurtured into an Astronomer Prophet?"

Wang Wu suddenly asked.

"Theoretically, it is possible, but they may not surpass you, so just having a few children is not enough. The best way is to have a dozen, continually marry those who meet the conditions from outside, form a family, pass it down through generations, and ensure that each generation has outstanding descendants, but none too remarkable, locking their upper limit with restrictions similar to Blood Curse Celestial Punishment."

"With good luck, after over a thousand years and several generations, one almost becomes an Astronomer Prophet; with bad luck, it might take dozens of generations, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years. The variables in between are substantial and can easily be disturbed by outside interferences, including intermarital disturbances."

"Furthermore, as the patriarchs of the family, you and I occasionally need to show our spirit; Fake Primordial Spirits, these basic methods, must be arranged. We also need to regularly check the various experiences of family descendants, intervene in family affairs, and occasionally arrange for marriage. In short, saying that the patriarchs are very busy is no exaggeration at all."

"But the greatest crisis is that once the secret is leaked, the entire family will accompany it to the grave!"

"Are you sure you want to do this? Think carefully, in doing so, all your and my descendants will become tools for you and me. Moreover, they will destinedly have little growth limit, and all bloodlines will be forced to erupt in one generation."

"It sounds cruel, but that’s the reality."

"Additionally, you must know, reaching this level, if we want to have children, both you and I need to sacrifice core power, core bloodline, each losing between three thousand to ten thousand years of life span. Such children must have methods like Blood Curse Celestial Punishment deployed upon birth, or else they will grow very quickly."

"Then, due to insufficient experience, they might create various troubles, big or small, for you and me to clean up. With bad luck, we’d even get dragged into it."

The Frost Monarch finished speaking the pros and cons in one breath, then looked at Wang Wu with great interest.

After a moment of daze, Wang Wu decisively shook his head, "Forget it, let’s not do that."

"Actually, that’s the correct choice. Procreation is instinctual because individual life forms are too weak. No one wants to see themselves gradually wither away, so they hope their life can exist in another form. However, as Taiyi True Immortals, we simply do not need this."

"But from this perspective, being a parent is quite noble."

At this point, the Frost Monarch smiled slightly, "This matter is not urgent. Let’s first cultivate to Taiyi Ninth Tier. Sometimes Astronomer Prophets are not nurtured, especially those who are perfect and outstanding, tend to appear unexpectedly. People like this are almost considered children favored by heaven and earth. Believe me, the more mortals there are, the more prosperous the Cultivation Realm is, the greater the chance of such heaven’s favored children appearing. We don’t need to do anything; just follow them. Whatever they do, we do as well."

"Heaven’s favored children?"

Wang Wu found it a bit odd in his heart. Isn’t that the protagonist?

It’s not easy; in his lifetime, he can actually see a living protagonist. Blessed, indeed!

Subsequently, Wang Wu and the Frost Monarch exchanged views on their cultivation and devised a plan of small retreats every three months and major retreats every three years.

Whether it’s major or minor retreats, both require their mutual assistance, harmonious yin and yang. Without Yin and Yang Qi, without the Great Witch Priest, without the Astronomer Prophet, it is the most cost-effective, mood-pleasing cultivation method.

For the remaining time, they each practice individually. Wang Wu splits his Spiritual Qi with the Frost Monarch. Originally, he was also to share with her the Three Calamities Long Sails, but she refused.

Without a Tier Four Foundation Establishment Array, she can’t evolve the Three Calamities, and she’s even less interested in further honing Yin Fire and Evil Wind.

Wang Wu didn’t mind. After making everything proper, he resumed raising his Yang Thunder Resistance with the Three Calamities Long Sails. He planned to raise the resistances for Yang Thunder, Yin Fire, and Evil Wind to 9999 points in one go.

At whatever cost!

Alright, it wasn’t that severe after all, because even with Yang Thunder Resistance, he had already passed the toughest stage, and now it was merely a matter of life span consumption and accumulation to achieve a qualitative change.

Nothing to say, the Three Calamities Long Sails went full force, if a hundred isn’t enough, then two hundred, if two hundred isn’t enough, then three hundred, until the resistance barrier is breached.

Wang Wu is already as skilled at this process as one can be.

Just like that, over ten years, Wang Wu consumed an additional eighteen thousand years of life span to successfully raise all Three Calamities resistances to 9999 points.

After meeting Frost Monarch a few times, both entered closed-door meditation.

He didn’t care how the Frost Monarch cultivated; he only did one thing—Three Calamities Evolution. Evolving the Three Calamities is the most time-consuming cultivation; evolving one cycle takes several hundred years, two or three cycles, and a thousand years pass.

Crucially, this evolution cannot run simultaneously; it must be one after the other. In other words, if Wang Wu wants to complete two evolutions for each of the Three Calamities, it would require three thousand years.

Cultivation, truly a timeless existence.

But the benefits are indeed genuine.

In the first millennium, Wang Wu evolved Yin Fire, integrating it with the Creation Fire Spirit Pill for evolution. Given that he had already completed two cycles before, this time the process was faster, roughly achieving three cycles of evolution within a thousand years.

Smoothly, he reclaimed twelve thousand years of life span and effortlessly elevated the Creation Fire Spirit Pill to the Second Grade, which essentially meant he possessed the power of the Taiyi Eighth Tier.

Undoubtedly so.

In the second millennium, Wang Wu evolved Evil Wind, connecting it with the Creation Wind Spirit Pill for evolution. Also smoothly, within a thousand years, he achieved three cycles of evolution and elevated the Creation Wind Spirit Pill to the Second Grade. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

At this point, his life span limit had successfully surpassed 150,000 years.

Not only did he recover the life span previously exhausted, but he also gained significantly more.

In the third millennium, Wang Wu evolved Yang Thunder, connecting it with the Creation Wood Spirit Pill for evolution.

This was difficult, but of course, he was prepared.

However, the fact was, just as Yang Thunder began its evolution, it obliterated his Creation Wood Spirit Pill, reduced to ashes, evolution? Forget it!

Wang Wu himself was almost overwhelmed by the backlash, to the point where his Immortal Body nearly lost control; it took him three full years of resting in seclusion to recover.

He related this matter to the Frost Monarch and asked for reasons.

The Frost Monarch looked at him with a complex expression, after a long time, said with a wry smile, "You’re really asking the blind for directions here, I don’t know, I do not have the qualifications to evolve the Three Calamities, nor have the Tier Four Foundation Establishment Array, I can’t provide you with even a single piece of advice, moreover, you should be satisfied, you’ve already completed the evolutions of Yin Fire and Evil Wind, you actually already possess power comparable to the Taiyi Ninth Tier."

"Additionally, I think for this matter, you might have to go to Outer Heaven to resolve it, using the Creation Wood Spirit Pill to evolve Yang Thunder, it’s a good approach, but the Creation Wood Spirit Pill can’t withstand Yang Thunder, you might need to repeatedly refine the Creation Wood Spirit Pill, which would require a trillion-level of Spiritual Qi to sustain such depletion."

"A trillion-level?" Wang Wu was startled by the words.

"What else did you expect, it’s not easy to advance to half-step Daluo. Let me put it this way, do you know how much Spiritual Qi I have prepared for Qingxue? A full two hundred trillion! Accumulated bit by bit over tens of thousands of years, of course, before this, I didn’t even know the exact amount I’d saved because I used a little trick, randomly deducting it, it wasn’t until later that I found out I had saved two hundred trillion!"

"And this isn’t even the preparation for hitting Daluo, I think that number, neither of us dares to hear it, or do you want to hear it?"

"Absolutely not!"

Wang Wu shook his head decisively, he hadn’t even thought about advancing to half-step Daluo, let alone hitting Daluo.

"Let’s drop this matter, I won’t evolve the Three Calamities anymore, nor will I cultivate in meditation, next, you go into seclusion, I’ll guard your cultivation!"

The Frost Monarch gazed at Wang Wu helplessly, "You already resemble an Astronomer Prophet now, so it’s right not to cultivate, with your two Tier Four Foundation Establishment Arrays plus the evolutions of Yin Fire and Evil Wind, any cultivation would certainly cause something unusual."

"However, you don’t need to guard my cultivation, the depression in this area should provide cover for tens of thousands of years, enough for me to gradually advance to the Taiyi Ninth Tier, you should enter the world, first seek out an Astronomer Prophet, or the Demon Race Great Witch Priest, though I reckon the latter might be difficult, nearly all of the Ancient Blood Nine Demons have relocated their core away from the Cultivation Realm, now this Cultivation Realm is mostly dominated by the Human Race alone."

"Additionally, please exercise extreme caution, do not cultivate, do not deploy the third Tier Four Foundation Establishment Array, certainly do not recklessly activate a Miniature Sin Prison Tower, nor transgress the Celestial Law, encountering Celestial Soldiers and Generals, it should be a priority to avoid them."

"Also, do not think that just because the current Cultivation Realm lacks Earth Immortals, you can act recklessly, this absolutely doesn’t mean those Daluo have abandoned this Cultivation Realm, they’ve surely reached some agreement, fostering Astronomer Prophets through such means, you and I, we’re essentially hiding in these Daluo’s private gardens, even the slightest disturbance would get us discovered and eliminated."

"In summary, observe more, listen more, think more, do not act. Just be a good bystander."

"Furthermore, the more mortals there are, the more cultivators there are, the variables that could be triggered increase, there will be all sorts of bizarre changes, do not get bewildered or misled."

"Remember, if you truly encounter one of those top-tier Astronomer Prophets, just take a distant glance, maintaining adequate distance, observing once every century is sufficient, absolutely, absolutely do not let him discover you, these children of fortune blessed by heaven and earth often possess powers you don’t understand, one carelessness and they’ll shear your wool, leaving you speechless with grief."

The Frost Monarch carefully imparted a lot of cautious advice, almost excessively so.

Wang Wu thought, if she didn’t cultivate the Path of Sincerity, she’d definitely be a terrifying old fox!

Of course, Wang Wu also deeply agreed with her advice.
