Chapter 515: Chapter 424: Advancement (Part 2)
BOOM!
A world-sundering clap of thunder exploded in Chen Li’s Heart Spirit.
His Primordial Spirit abruptly looked up. The next instant, a boundless, indescribable void appeared before it.
It was not darkness, but a vacuity that transcended color.
Within the void, countless unnamable and incomprehensible streams of light streaked past.
Some streams were as brilliant as a galaxy, others as dim as the abyss. Some teemed with life, while others were eternally silent and dead...
What shook Chen Li’s Heart Spirit to its core was that when his Primordial Spirit gazed into this void, a few of the "streams of light" seemed to pause for a fraction of a second.
An ineffable sensation of being watched was transmitted with absolute clarity into the depths of Chen Li’s Heart Spirit.
The gaze contained no emotion—no curiosity, no scrutiny, no good or evil. There was only the distant indifference of something looking down upon motes of dust.
A mere moment later, the feeling of being watched vanished. The streams of light continued along their original paths, sliding into the endless depths of the void, quickly receding until they disappeared.
"This is..."
’Passing deities in the void?’
His Heart Spirit wavered.
WHOOSH!
A magnificent, incomparably pure, pale golden Order Divine Chain, containing infinite mysteries, clearly materialized before Chen Li’s eyes.
The complexity and vastness of this Divine Chain surpassed the Law Chen Li had just fused by a factor of ten thousand.
It was the fundamental rule of heaven and earth.
The Righteous Wealth Law!
Chen Li’s heart pounded wildly.
He could feel with extreme clarity that the Law Divine Chain manifested by his Primordial Spirit was palpitating and humming frantically.
POP.
Just as Chen Li was at a loss, there was a soft sound, like a bursting bubble.
The void before him, like a phantom bubble, dissipated without a trace.
Chen Li’s eyes snapped open.
Outside the window, the sun was bright, and the sky was a cloudless, pristine blue.
Everything felt like an illusion.
But Chen Li knew it was not.
’To comprehend heaven and earth and verify my own Dao...’
’I’m still too weak...’
As his Heart Spirit returned to him, Chen Li performed Introspection on his Divine Hall Acupoint. His gaze fell upon the newly born strand of Primordial Qi, and he couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
The Primordial Qi, now fused with the "Subordinate Wealth" and "Inheritance Wealth" runes, had been reduced to the size of a small spring.
But Chen Li could clearly sense that the power contained within this small spring was more than twice as strong as the simple sum of the two previous strands of Primordial Qi.
This was a fundamental leap.
The Primordial Qi had once again undergone an astonishing qualitative transformation.
A look of delight flashed in Chen Li’s eyes.
After regulating his breathing for a short while, Chen Li sought out Chen Shouyi again.
Without much explanation, he once again extracted the newly cultivated Inner Qi from Chen Shouyi’s body—the one containing the Inheritance Wealth rune—and then helped him quickly recover his Cultivation.
Currently, Chen Shouyi was the only stable source for the Inheritance Wealth runes.
In contrast, the Wife and Wealth Runes came from a wider range of sources.
His current wives and concubines, and any new ones he might take in the future, could all provide him with a continuous stream of feedback from these runes, strengthening his Law.
Therefore, Chen Li did not hold back on resources during this period of seclusion.
He directly used the Cyan Lotus Seeds for his Cultivation, increasing his strength at an unprecedented rate.
...
[Congratulations, Host. Twins have been born into the family. Reward issued: You may randomly select one past system reward and receive a double portion.]
In the midst of his secluded Cultivation, the system’s notification sound rang out abruptly and clearly in the depths of Chen Li’s mind.
’Shuwei gave birth?’
Chen Li awoke from his deep meditation. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, which then melted into joy.
He did a quick mental calculation and realized it was already September.
Zhou Shuwei had become pregnant last December. She was now full-term, so it was indeed time for her to give birth.
Chen Li had originally thought that after the system rewarded him for his eldest grandson, there would be no extra rewards for the birth of subsequent offspring.
He never expected that the birth of twins would trigger the bonus reward mechanism again, and with a double reward, no less.
This was undoubtedly a huge and pleasant surprise.
’What should I choose?’
After the initial joy, Chen Li calmed down and began to weigh his options carefully.
Rewards like Martial Arts Secret Manuals and Medicinal Cuisine recipes were the first to be eliminated.
One copy of such rewards was enough. Receiving them again had no real meaning, let alone any stacking or upgrading effect.
The only ones truly worth considering were Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Divine Artifacts, and True Martial Dao.
Dragon Blood Bodhi Heart, Arhat Vajra Relic Fruit... these were treasures for the Qi Realm, but for a Spirit Realm Cultivator, their effects were greatly diminished, making their value limited.
There was no need for another Ruins Mirror either.
The mirror’s main function was to generate images to assist in Cultivation. One was sufficient for the family’s use; having two more wasn’t particularly necessary.
The Cyan Lotus (a living being) was the most mysterious and precious. To this day, aside from producing "Cyan Lotus Seeds" for his Cultivation, Chen Li was still unsure of its other uses.
Choosing it might bring enormous unknown benefits, but it couldn’t be converted into combat power in the short term.
Deity, Qiankun Ruyi Staff, True Intent, Soul-Stabilizing Pill, Five Viscera Five Elements Fruit... all of these were extremely useful at his current stage.
’Which one should I actually choose?’
Chen Li fell into deep thought.
The Deity, the Qiankun Ruyi Staff, and the True Intent undoubtedly had the highest individual value.
Choosing them seemed to be the most cost-effective option.
But even with a double portion, the Deity and the Qiankun Ruyi Staff could only be equipped by two people, offering a limited boost to the family’s overall strength.
The same went for the True Intent.
If it were a few months ago, before he had refined the Flying Sword’s True Intent, he would have chosen this without hesitation.
But now, he himself was no longer in need of one, and as his descendants grew, the system would most likely grant more as rewards.
Furthermore, the True Intent rewarded by the system could only be bound to a specific person and could not be passed down as an inheritance, which invisibly discounted its value.
The Five Viscera Five Elements Fruit could accelerate the Cultivation and stabilization of the Inner Mansion Little World within the Spirit Realm, making it exceptionally effective. But in comparison...
