Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 2: Many Children, Many Blessings

After reaching the peak of the Innate Ninth Layer for ten years, in order to advance as an inner disciple and obtain better cultivation resources, Han Li felt that he was well-prepared and began to attempt a breakthrough into the Sea Opening Realm. However, he ultimately failed.

Not only did he fail, but he also suffered serious injuries and even his aptitude was damaged, leaving him with no hope of breaking through to the Sea Opening Realm.

Han Li did not give up and continued to diligently cultivate, hoping for a miracle.

After another twenty years of cultivation, he was still trapped at the peak of the Innate Ninth Layer, with no hope of any breakthrough. Han Li finally fell into despair.

He gave up on cultivating within the sect and left the mountain, returning to Lingjun City, only to find that his parents had already passed away.

With a sigh, Han Li made the final decision to marry and have children, carrying on the Han family's lineage, which was what his parents had most wanted to see, but they had long lost the chance.

That year, Han Li searched in Lingjun City and finally found a suitable woman.

Her name was Liu Yuexin, eighteen years old, with a beautiful figure and outstanding appearance. She came from a small family in Lingjun City, with mediocre aptitude, only at the eighth layer of Body Tempering at that time.

Even if Han Li imparted all his knowledge to her, she would still be unable to break through to the Innate realm with her mediocre aptitude.

But there was no other choice. A mediocre aptitude was the best he could find. Although there were some women of ninth-grade aptitude in Fengyang Prefecture who were of marriageable age, they did not look favorably upon him.

A ninth-grade aptitude had the potential to reach the Innate realm, so who would marry an Innate realm cultivator who had only a few years of life left? Even if Han Li had an excellent appearance, it wouldn't be enough.

After considering for a while, Han Li decided to take a concubine first and then find an opportunity to marry a woman with a higher aptitude in the future.

This was also for the sake of future generations. By combining with women of higher aptitude, it would be easier to give birth to offspring with higher aptitude.

Since he could no longer break through to the Sea Opening Realm in this lifetime, he would let his descendants fulfill his regrets. It could be considered as hoping for his children to become successful.

After making preparations, Han Li married Liu Yuexin and she became his first concubine.

Although she was a concubine, Han Li did not mistreat her. They had a proper wedding ceremony, with a grand procession and a generous dowry, making the Liu family extremely happy.

Under his diligent cultivation, Liu Yuexin soon became pregnant.

Ten months later, Han Li's first descendant was born, a daughter with a ninth-grade aptitude.

This greatly surprised Han Li. His first descendant actually inherited his aptitude. Yes, after failing to break through to the Sea Opening Realm, Han Li's aptitude was damaged and regressed to a ninth-grade aptitude. It was because of this that he felt so desperate.

Not to mention that even after cultivating for another twenty years, even if he cultivated for decades until his death, he still had no hope.

What surprised Han Li the most was that after having descendants, his "golden finger" finally arrived, albeit late. This made Han Li cry tears of joy.

The Longevity Family System!

It cultivated the host to create a Longevity Family. Specifically, for every additional descendant Han Li had, he would receive corresponding rewards, including lifespan, cultivation, pills, divine weapons, and so on.

Currently, for every additional descendant, he would receive one year of cultivation, one year of lifespan, and a Royal Grade top-tier technique (martial skill). It's important to note that these rewards are not reduced, whether it's the first generation, second generation, or even the hundredth generation, Han Li would receive the same rewards.

At the same time, if any of his descendants possessed cultivation aptitude, Han Li would also receive corresponding rewards, with better aptitude resulting in higher rewards. Even if his descendants started cultivating, they could also feedback some of their cultivation to Han Li to a certain extent.

After understanding this, Han Li was overjoyed. It truly was a case of "many children, many blessings."

The daughter born to Liu Yuexin provided him with one year of cultivation, one year of lifespan, a Royal Grade top-tier martial skill, and a slight enhancement to Han Li's aptitude.

The rewards of cultivation and lifespan were given every time, while pills, weapons, techniques, treasures, and so on appeared randomly.

The first daughter has a ninth-grade aptitude. Han Li received partial feedback, which enhanced his own aptitude. This reward can only be obtained if the descendants have cultivation aptitude.

The damage to his aptitude made him hopeless in reaching the Sea Opening Realm in this lifetime. However, the cultivation rewarded by the system broke this constraint. As long as he has enough descendants, he doesn't need to cultivate and can still break through to the Sea Opening Realm, or even higher realms.

In light of this, Han Li stopped cultivating directly. He was already at the peak of the Innate Ninth Layer, and further cultivation would be of no use. Taking concubines and having more children is the true path to prosperity.

In the blink of an eye, more than forty years have passed, and Han Li is now 195 years old, approaching the limit of the Innate realm's lifespan.

In these forty years, Han Li has taken six concubines in total, all of whom have low aptitude. They have given birth to fourteen descendants for him one after another.

It's not that he doesn't want to take more concubines, or that his body can't handle it. The main reason is that the system has strict requirements for taking concubines.

They must have cultivation aptitude and a beauty score of at least eight.

This greatly narrows down Han Li's range of potential concubines. He can only slowly search for them. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he is an Innate realm nearing its limit. Even beautiful female cultivators with low aptitude are reluctant to become his concubines.

Since he cannot increase his own cultivation, he lets his descendants reproduce more. Although the rewards are fewer, small gains add up.

Han Li encourages reproduction and rewards them generously, allowing them to procreate as much as they can. They have already multiplied to the fourth generation, with a total of ninety-seven descendants.

Among them, only eighteen have cultivation aptitude, four of whom have ninth-grade aptitude. The rest have low aptitude, but this has successfully raised Han Li's aptitude to the eighth grade.

After his aptitude improved, Han Li consumed the accumulated cultivation to break through to a higher realm, successfully entering the Sea Opening Realm.

The Sea Opening Realm has a lifespan of three hundred years. With the additional fifty-plus years, Han Li can now live up to three hundred and fifty-two years.

Recently, Han Li has been radiant. With nearly one hundred and sixty years of lifespan left, it is enough for him to break through to the next realm. Moreover, the accumulation in the early stages is the slowest, and the speed of improvement becomes faster as one progresses.

Looking at his descendants and guests in the hall, Han Li feels somewhat proud.

The Sea Opening Realm is enough to dominate the Lingjun City. In the entire Fengyang Prefecture, he can be considered a powerful force, and his status has greatly increased. This is just the beginning for him.

In the future, his cultivation will continue to strengthen, and his status will constantly rise.

To avoid a sudden death, Han Li decides to take it slow. Everything must be stable, and there is no need to rush and take big risks for opportunities.

With the system, as long as he takes more concubines and has more children, he will live longer and have higher cultivation. There is no risk at all. Why bother with fighting and killing?

In the eyes of other cultivators, he is definitely an outlier with the hope of breaking through to a higher realm. Who wouldn't keep taking concubines and indulge in the pleasures of women? At most, find a like-minded partner to support each other.

Being infatuated with women will only waste time and end up with nothing.

After breaking through to the Sea Opening Realm this time, Han Li's status has risen, and his influence in the entire Fengyang Prefecture has greatly increased. He is now preparing to find a beautiful female cultivator with a ninth-grade aptitude and take her as a concubine. Li Mingmeng from the Li family has come to him.

Han Li is aware of the situation in the Li family. The Li family's ancestor is at the Innate Eighth Layer, a few years younger than Han Li and with not many years left to live.

Once the Li family's ancestor dies, the current head of the family at the Innate First Layer will not be able to hold the fort. The Li family's vast wealth is likely to be lost. Therefore, upon learning that Han Li has broken through to the Sea Opening Realm, the Li family sent Li Mingmeng, the most beautiful woman in Lingjun City, to become Han Li's concubine.

Li Mingmeng is Han Li's seventh concubine and the first with a ninth-grade aptitude. There is a chance to produce descendants with an eighth-grade aptitude.

Although Han Li has several concubines, he treats each one well. Most of the resources rewarded by the system are used on them, such as beauty-preserving pills, longevity pills, and essence-gathering pills, to help them improve their cultivation and extend their lifespan.

Liu Yuexin was the first to follow Han Li. Although she only has low aptitude, with the help of various resources from Han Li, she has already broken through to the seventh level of the True Qi realm, and her lifespan has been extended to 140 years.

If possible, Han Li still hopes that his concubines can accompany him further.

After the wedding, everyone enjoyed themselves, and Han Li also entered the bridal chamber.
