The first descendant with an Eighth-Grade aptitude also granted Han Li ten years of cultivation and a Profound Rank Lower Grade martial arts technique.

The cultivation awarded by the system was linked to Han Li’s real-time aptitude; with the same number of years of cultivation, the better the aptitude, the faster the increase in realm.

An Eighth-Grade aptitude had almost no hope of breaking through to the Gangyuan Realm, but reaching the ninth layer of the Pihai Realm was possible, albeit it would take a considerably long time. According to Han Li’s estimation, with his current aptitude, it would take over a hundred years to cultivate to the ninth layer of the Pihai Realm.

These ten years of cultivation allowed him to break through to the second layer of the Pihai Realm, and the sea of True Qi above his dantian expanded by half, significantly enhancing his strength.

Moreover, although the cultivation was a reward from the system, it also included the corresponding cultivation insights, as if he had diligently cultivated for ten years to achieve a breakthrough.

After feeling the expanded Qi sea within his body, Han Li directed his attention to the last reward.

Profound Rank Lower Grade Martial Technique: Dragon’s Chant Golden Bell Shield!

Every time a descendant of each aptitude rank was born for the first time, he would receive a corresponding reward; the better the aptitude, the better the reward.

The first descendant with mediocre aptitude obtained a Yellow Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique, while the first descendant with Ninth-Grade aptitude acquired the supreme Yellow Rank martial technique, “Tiger’s Roar Iron Shirt”.

In this world, the levels of cultivation techniques and elixirs are divided into: Ordinary Rank, Yellow Rank, Profound Rank, Earth Rank, and Heaven Rank, each rank further categorized into Low Grade, Middle Grade, Top Grade, and Supreme Grade.

The Ordinary Rank cultivation techniques are studied by those below the Innate Realm; those in the Innate Realm and Pihai Realm usually learn Yellow Rank cultivation techniques and martial arts; those in the Gangyuan Realm can generally learn Profound Rank Low and Middle Grade techniques and martial arts…

Apart from the Han Family, the other two major clans in Lingjun City had no better martial arts techniques than the Yellow Rank High Grade, and they only had one or two such techniques.

As far as Han Li knew, the best cultivation technique or martial skill on Tianxuan Mountain appeared to be an Earth Rank Supreme Grade, and it was said that the entire Daqian Empire only possessed a few Heaven Rank techniques and martial arts.

The best cultivation technique Han Li previously owned was the supreme Yellow Rank Xuanyuan Scripture, which he could cultivate all the way to the peak of the Pihai Realm. He had exchanged for it on Tianxuan Mountain when he was preparing to break through the Pihai Realm.

The supreme Yellow Rank martial arts technique was the “Tiger’s Roar Iron Shirt,” which now was replaced by the Profound Rank Lower Grade Dragon’s Chant Golden Bell Shield.

The techniques and martial arts of a Sect are strictly forbidden to be passed on to outsiders, even to one’s own descendants. If anyone is discovered privately teaching them, at the least, their cultivation will be abolished, and at worst, they will be executed on the spot.

If one acquires cultivation techniques or martial arts on their own, even if they offer them to the Sect, they still retain the right to pass them on, but they cannot be carelessly shared with strangers. For instance, Han Li’s obtained Yellow Rank High Grade practice method was given to the Han Family descendants to cultivate, giving them a significant advantage when they enter the Sect over ordinary disciples.

After reading through the Dragon’s Chant Golden Bell Shield technique, a smile appeared on Han Li’s face; he was now on solid ground.

Profound Rank martial arts are generally delved into by cultivators in the Gangyuan Realm, yet he already possessed one in the second layer of the Pihai Realm, and what’s more, the techniques awarded by the system were all directly mastered to perfection, bypassing the initial, minor, and major achievement stages, needing only a little practice to be fully mastered.

Having both the Dragon’s Chant Golden Bell Shield and Tiger’s Roar Iron Shirt perfected, although it wouldn’t make him invincible or instantly enlightened, almost no cultivator in the Pihai Realm could breach his defense. His life was now secure, allowing him to continue to grow stronger.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another year went by.

Liu Yuexin and the other five concubines had yet to show any signs, but Li Mingmeng was pregnant again, with a slight bulge already apparent. In a few more months, another child would be born.

Her right hand gently caressed her protruding belly, and a smile spread across Li Mingmeng’s face.

Through two years of being together, her love for Han Li, her husband, had deepened, and she was willing to bear more children for him.

Moreover, Han Li had also said to prioritize cultivation, allowing her to bear at most three children before focusing entirely on advancing to the Innate Realm. Only then could she accompany him for a longer period of time.

“`

Under Han Li’s resources provision and guidance, Li Mingmeng had already broken through to the Rebirth Realm, significantly enhancing her strength.

One day, as Han Li was conversing with Li Mingmeng and incidentally checking on the child in her belly, it was clear that she was six or seven months pregnant, her stomach now unmistakably showing.

As Han Li eagerly anticipated the child to possess Eighth Grade aptitude, the system prompt suddenly rang out.

“Your progeny count has broken through one hundred. You have gained fifty years of cultivation, one Pihai Pill, and the Profound Rank Lower Grade martial arts technique [Falling Star Arrow Manual].”

Han Li was briefly stunned before he realized that another of his progeny had been born.

Before marrying Li Mingmeng, he had ninety-seven progeny. In the past two years, Li Mingmeng had given birth to one, and the other descendants had reproduced one more, making a total of ninety-nine.

Now, another descendant had reproduced, bringing Han Li’s progeny count finally to over a hundred, and he received the rewards for surpassing one hundred.

He had long anticipated this reward, having received something similar when his progeny count broke ten, but this time the reward was more than tenfold better.

Fifty years of cultivation had directly elevated Han Li’s realm from the second level of the Pihai Realm to the late stage of the Sixth Heaven of the Pihai Realm, nearing the later stage of the Pihai Realm.

It had been just over two years since he had broken through to the Pihai Realm, and such a rate of cultivation could be considered astonishingly fast, comparable to those with Third Grade aptitude.

“What a great item!”

Looking at the pill in his hand that emitted a rich fragrance, Han Li exclaimed appreciatively. This pill was the Pihai Pill awarded by the system.

The Pihai Pill was a Profound Rank Top Grade pill that could increase the probability of a cultivator at the peak of the Innate Ninth Heaven breaking through to the Pihai Realm by fifty percent, an effect truly defying the heavens.

Tianxuan Mountain also possessed this type of pill, but the amount supplied each year was very limited, and the contribution required to exchange for it was extremely high. At least, the former Han Li would not have been able to afford it, mainly because it was very difficult to refine and had high costs.

The Pihai Pill created by the system even had a better effect, increasing the breakthrough probability by seventy percent.

Han Li stored away the Pihai Pill; the Han Family, for the time being, had no use for it since not one of the Han Family members had reached the Innate Realm, the highest realm being True Qi Realm Eighth Heaven possessed by Liu Yuexin.

Thinking about Liu Yuexin gave Han Li somewhat of a headache; she was the first concubine he had taken and could also be considered his lucky star, as she was responsible for the appearance of his system.

Liu Yuexin was knowledgeable, gentle, and virtuous. Usually managing the affairs of the Han Family with fair and just leadership, she won the hearts of many, ensuring harmony within the Han Family and Han Li’s inner courtyard.

Therefore, Han Li treated her exceptionally well over the years. She had the best cultivation resources the Han Family could offer, and Han Li also provided her with meticulous guidance, hoping she would soon reach the peak of True Qi Realm Ninth Heaven.

However, he had not obtained any treasures that could enhance aptitude or forcibly break through to the Innate Realm, so Han Li could only wait patiently. Fortunately, Liu Yuexin still had a long life ahead of her and could afford to wait.

Casting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Han Li turned his attention to the last reward, the Profound Rank Lower Grade martial arts technique [Falling Star Arrow Manual].

The Falling Star Arrow Manual contained three moves: Comet Piercing the Sun, Meteor Shower, and Star Shooting from Beyond the Heavens, each with extremely powerful might.

The first move required at least a mid-stage cultivator of the Pihai Realm to learn; the second move, a late-stage of the Pihai Realm, and the third move could only be learned by someone in the Gangyuan Realm.

Naturally, Han Li faced no such thresholds; he directly cultivated the Falling Star Arrow Manual to perfection, fully mastering all three arrow techniques.
