877 The Secret of Inheritance
Ancestor Yu's expression immediately lit up with joy, and he couldn't help but secretly scold himself, "Yes, in this way it only takes three or four years, and the younger the child, the easier it is!"
Honestly, it's amazing that I only thought of such a good method now. It's driving me crazy!
If they had thought of this earlier, they would probably have quite a few offspring by now.
Moreover, I myself am also capable of this; my own offspring are probably more compatible with me, and the chances are greater.
If I hadn't been so obsessed with cultivation back then and had had more direct descendants, I wouldn't be in such a hurry now. No wonder many aristocratic families encourage their talented offspring to proliferate after the Martial King.
Even more remarkably, some have branched out and produced hundreds of offspring!
Thinking of this, his expression gradually calmed down, turning cold and sinister, seemingly both eerie and terrifying, yet also showing a hint of reluctance. Over the years, he had been so lonely that he had not pursued women, but now, in order to prolong his lifespan, he could consider it.
But it will be difficult for Empress Wu to have an heir!
Old Ancestor Yu was very clear about this, so it was not unreasonable that his parents still indulged the arrogant and domineering children of the Martial Emperor. There was no other way.
Needless to say, Emperor Wu was even more so. Very few of his descendants were born, and each one was a precious gem in his eyes!
[Indeed, these aristocratic families are truly secretive. These matters are probably only known to those above the Martial Emperor level or the head of a family. Otherwise, my Yu family should have known about them long ago!]
My family ruined my future, they deserve to die!
Old Ancestor Yu was burning with rage, as if he were enraged by thunder. His body temperature suddenly dropped sharply, and something inexplicably occurred to him, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body.
Elder Tong has not been seen for some time, and now both of them are hiding their faces with true qi. There is also Elder Bai. Both of them are mysterious and rarely speak, and they have been in seclusion for a long time.
It seems they've changed their appearance, but why hasn't the cult leader exposed them? It seems they've tacitly approved of this in private, but we don't know whose appearance they've changed to.
A member of a powerful family, or perhaps a particularly favored disciple!
In an instant, a chilling, soul-shattering feeling arose from my very soul!
Thinking of the plea for help from the head of the Yu family, the old ancestor was reluctant to get involved, but now he had no choice but to. If his descendants were to multiply and each of them were to marry a hundred wives, then the expenses would probably have to be covered by the Nanhe Prefecture.
With a population of nearly 100 million, including one prefecture, ten states, and a hundred counties in Nanhe Prefecture, it is certainly capable of supporting the descendants of these families!
Thinking of this, the old patriarch pondered for a moment, having some thoughts in mind, but not in a hurry to act. He thought to himself, "This matter has already been reported to the sect leader, and I still need to wait for him. The tribute I received wasn't something I could enjoy alone."
As the old ancestor calmed down, he had a plan and was no longer in a hurry. Apart from the one who had cultivated well, all the other offspring should hurry back together, as it would be a waste of too much spiritual energy to stay here.
The spiritual energy of the Fire Spirit Sect is now somewhat thinner, but it is still much better than that of the outside world, where it is even thinner and wild spiritual herbs are becoming increasingly difficult to find and more expensive.
Deep within the Fire Spirit Cult's sacred temple, the magnificent spirit jade had been completely exhausted, leaving only the gleaming crystal walls of ordinary mortal objects to adorn its extraordinary nature.
On the throne carved from ten-thousand-year-old fire jade, though the spiritual energy seemed to be waning, the Fire Spirit Sect Leader's face was as serene as the morning sun, calm and undisturbed, as if nothing in the world could shake his heart in the slightest.
All around, layers upon layers of extremely complex spiritual arrays were stacked, each containing various strange powers, concealing the secrets of heaven, concealing the location, preserving spiritual energy, and absorbing most of the spiritual energy within a thousand miles to nourish this place, this mountain gate.
In the past, they shone brightly together, like an inverted galaxy, extremely mysterious.
Today, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seems to have been quietly drawn away by an invisible hand, becoming thinner than ever before.
The Fire Spirit Cult Leader, who had been anxious recently, now appeared completely calm, as if he were a different person. A trace of indifference, tranquility, and detachment flashed in his deep eyes, as if he was indifferent to the impending demise of his past glory.
The Fire Spirit Master, devoid of joy or sorrow, suddenly forgot all worldly matters and muttered to himself, 'The scarcity of spiritual energy isn't necessarily a bad thing; this is also an opportunity.'
He Chen, you little brat from the borderlands, you've been too arrogant and exposed yourself far too early.
Back when the Holy Emperor was exposed, he hid for three years. You, on the other hand, have become so arrogant and domineering after only half a year, revealing yourself as the chosen one. It seems my luck has finally arrived.
The world is in turmoil, spiritual energy is scarce, and the destiny of heaven is declining. Yet you are the chosen one of heaven without knowing it. You are truly a superior medicine.
Back when Wang Tiangao was in power, he endured three years of hardship, and when he finally emerged, he had become too powerful to control. And you've arrived just in time.
I wonder if absorbing your good fortune means I deserve to rise to a higher level!
The Fire Spirit Master closed his eyes slightly, pointed in the void, and immediately extracted a portion of his own essence!
With a sudden movement, a ball of gas in front of him rapidly expanded, instantly taking the shape of the Fire Spirit Master, but more than twice the size of the Fire Spirit Master!
A surge of intense heat emanated from him, instantly illuminating the hall like a flame warming the desolate night.
The enormous fiery figure simply hovered there silently, echoing the leader from afar, quietly waiting.
The Fire Spirit Cult Leader said softly, 'Come out!'
Suddenly, a strange feeling arose, and a horrifying scene unfolded: a figure exactly like the Fire Spirit Cult Leader slowly emerged from behind the screen, with the same face, the same clothes and hairstyle, like a clone.
However, upon closer inspection, this person appeared to be younger, with a pale complexion and lifeless eyes, like a living dead!
The Fire Spirit Cult Master nodded slightly, and said softly to the Fire Spirit Cult Master standing in the void, "This journey will take some time. I'll leave the rest of the journey here in your care, fellow Daoist."
The fiery Fire Spirit Master nodded respectfully.
After waiting quietly for a moment, seeing that the main body had no other instructions, he glanced at the young cult leader's vessel with satisfaction, a hint of wickedness, cunning, and satisfaction mixed with a secret joy at the prospect of another wonderful experience.
Immediately afterwards, the Fire Spirit Cult Master's clone moved swiftly and mysteriously, like a flowing flame, instantly turning into nothingness, but in the next instant, in an indescribable way, quickly and perfectly merging into the young cult master's body.
Although the young cult leader maintained a calm expression, a subtle ripple flashed in his eyes, as if he were a different person, or as if someone was feeling a sense of surprise, anticipation, and joy at the prospect of becoming human.
It's rare to be born as a human being; I'm truly fortunate!
After the clone merged with him, about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, an even more powerful and complex energy fluctuation emanated from the young cult leader and vanished in a flash.
