The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 544 Cultivation is Impossible
"If we have several children, could we raise them to be prophets of the Imperial Observatory?"

Wang Wu suddenly asked.

“Theoretically, it is possible, but it is also possible that they will not be as good as you. So just having a few children is not enough. The best way is to have more than a dozen children and continuously marry into families with people who meet the requirements. Then, the family can be passed down from generation to generation. And it is necessary to ensure that although each generation has outstanding descendants, they cannot be too outstanding. In other words, the upper limit is locked, and a restriction similar to a blood curse or heavenly punishment is imposed.”

"If you're lucky, it might take a thousand years or so, or a dozen generations, to produce a prophet from the Imperial Observatory. If you're unlucky, it could take dozens of generations, tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years. There are a lot of variables involved, and it's very easy to be affected by external interference, such as marriage alliances."

"In addition, as the ancestors of the family, you and I occasionally need to show our power. Basic methods such as using fake primordial spirits must be arranged. We also need to regularly check on the various experiences of the family's descendants, and even intervene in family affairs and occasionally arrange marriages. In short, it is no exaggeration to say that the ancestors are very busy."

"But the biggest crisis is that once the secret is exposed, the entire family will be wiped out!"

"Are you sure you want to do this? Think it through. If you do, all our descendants will become our tools. And they will be destined to have no upper limit to their growth. All bloodlines will be forced to erupt in a certain generation."

"It sounds cruel, but that's the truth."

"In addition, you must also understand that if you and I reach this level and want to have children, we will each have to give up our core power and core bloodline, and each of us will have to reduce our lifespan by three thousand to ten thousand years. And for such children, we must deploy a method similar to the Blood Curse Heavenly Punishment as soon as they are born, otherwise their growth will be very fast."

"Then, due to a lack of sufficient experience, you and I will cause all sorts of troubles, big and small, which will make you and me constantly clean up their messes. If we're unlucky, we'll even get dragged into it."

After Shuangjun finished explaining the pros and cons in one breath, she looked at Wang Wu with great interest.

The latter paused for a moment, then decisively shook his head, "Never mind, then I'd rather not."

"Actually, this is the correct answer. The reason why reproduction is an instinct is because individual life is too weak. No one wants to see themselves gradually grow old, so they hope that their life can exist in another form. But as Taiyi True Immortals, we don't need to at all."

"However, from this perspective, being a parent is still a great thing."

At this point, Shuangjun smiled slightly, "There's no rush. Let's cultivate to the ninth level of Taiyi first. The prophets of the Imperial Observatory are not always cultivated. In particular, the more perfect and outstanding the prophets are, the more likely they are to appear unexpectedly. Usually, such people can almost be called the chosen ones favored by heaven and earth. Believe me, as long as there are enough mortals and the cultivation world is prosperous enough, the chances of such chosen ones appearing will be greater. We don't need to do anything. Just follow behind them and do what they do."

"A chosen one, blessed by heaven and earth?"

Wang Wu felt a little strange. Wasn't that just pig's feet?
It's not easy! He actually got to see a live pig's feet in his lifetime. How lucky he is!
Next, Wang Wu and Shuang Jun exchanged ideas about their respective cultivation practices and formulated a plan for minor repairs every three months and major repairs every three years.

Whether it's a major repair or a minor repair, it requires the two of them to assist each other and coordinate yin and yang. In the absence of yin and yang energies, a grand shaman, or a divine astrologer, this is the most cost-effective and pleasant method of cultivation.

The rest of the time was spent cultivating on their own. Wang Wu shared half of his spiritual energy with Shuang Jun, and he also wanted to share half of the Three Calamities Long Sail with him, but Shuang Jun refused.

Without a fourth-order foundation-building formation, she could not evolve the Three Calamities, and she had no desire to further hone the Yin Fire and Evil Wind.

Wang Wu didn't care. After settling in, he continued to open the Three Calamities Sail and continue to increase his resistance to Yang Lightning. This time, he wanted to increase his resistance to Yang Lightning, Yin Fire, and Evil Wind to 9999 points in one go.

No matter the cost!

Well, it's not that serious, because even with Yang Lightning Resistance, he has already passed the most difficult stage. What follows is simply the consumption of lifespan and the accumulation of quantity in order to achieve a qualitative change.

There's not much to say. The Three Calamities Long Sail is going to be unleashed. If one hundred isn't enough, then two hundred, and if two hundred isn't enough, then three hundred, until the resistance line is broken through.

Wang Wu had become extremely skilled at this process.

In this way, over ten years, Wang Wu consumed an extra 18,000 years of his lifespan to successfully raise his resistance to the Three Calamities to 9999 points.

After several short gatherings with Shuangjun, the two of them went into seclusion and entered meditation.

He didn't care how Frost Lord cultivated; he only did one thing: evolve the Three Calamities. Evolving the Three Calamities was the most time-consuming cultivation. It took several hundred years to evolve one cycle, and a thousand years would pass in two or three cycles.

The key is that this evolution cannot be carried out simultaneously; it must be one after another. In other words, if Wang Wu wants to complete the evolution of each of the three calamities twice, it will take three thousand years.

Spiritual practice truly transcends time.

But the benefits are also truly great. In the first millennium, Wang Wu evolved Yin Fire and connected it with the Creation Fire Spirit Pill for further evolution. Because it had already evolved through two cycles before, the speed this time was relatively fast, and it could complete the evolution of three cycles in about one thousand years.

He recovered a total of 12,000 years of lifespan and easily upgraded the Creation Fire Spirit Pill to the second grade, which basically means that he has already reached the eighth level of Taiyi.

The kind that leaves no room for doubt.

In the second millennium, Wang Wu evolved the evil wind and connected it with the Creation Wind Spirit Pill. The evolution went smoothly, and within a thousand years, he was able to complete three cycles of evolution and upgrade the Creation Wind Spirit Pill to the second grade.

At this point, his lifespan limit has successfully exceeded 150,000 years.

Not only did they recoup most of the money they had invested in lifespan, but they also made a considerable profit.

In the third millennium, Wang Wu evolved Yang Lei and combined it with the Creation Wood Spirit Pill to evolve.

This is very difficult, but of course he is well prepared.

The truth is, Yang Lei had barely begun to evolve when he destroyed Yang Lei's Creation Wood Spirit Pill in one fell swoop, leaving no trace of his body. Evolution? Evolution my ass!
Wang Wu himself was so badly affected by the backlash that his immortal body almost went out of control. He lay in his secluded meditation room for three whole years before he fully recovered.

He told Shuangjun about it and asked him for the reason.

As a result, Shuangjun looked at him with a very complicated gaze, and after a long while, she said with a wry smile, "You really are asking the blind for advice. I don't know. I am not qualified to evolve the Three Calamities, nor do I have a fourth-order Foundation Establishment Formation. I cannot give you even a little advice. Moreover, you should be content. You have already completed the evolution of Yin Fire and Evil Wind. You actually already possess strength comparable to the ninth level of Taiyi."

"Furthermore, I think you can only solve this problem by going to the Outer Heavens. Using the Creation Wood Spirit Pill to evolve Yang Lightning is a good idea, but the Creation Wood Spirit Pill can't withstand Yang Lightning. You might need to rebuild the Creation Wood Spirit Pill again and again, which would require trillions of spiritual energy to support such consumption."

"A trillion-level?" Wang Wu was startled when he heard this.

"Otherwise, how easy is it to advance to the half-step Great Luo realm? Let me put it this way, do you know how much spiritual energy I prepared for Qingxue? A full two hundred trillion! It's what I accumulated little by little over the past tens of thousands of years. Of course, I didn't know exactly how much I had accumulated before, because I played a little trick, which was to deduct it randomly. It wasn't until later that I found out that I had actually accumulated two hundred trillion!"

"And this doesn't even include the preparations for challenging the Great Luo. I think that number is something neither of us dares to hear, or perhaps you want to hear it?"

"In no mood!"

Wang Wu shook his head decisively. He hadn't even considered advancing to the half-step Great Luo realm, let alone attempting to break through to the Great Luo realm.

"This matter is over. I will no longer manifest the Three Calamities, nor will I cultivate into meditation. You will now go into seclusion, and I will protect you!"

Upon hearing this, Shuangjun looked at Wang Wu helplessly, "You already resemble a prophet of the Imperial Observatory by six-tenths, so it's right that you don't cultivate. With your two fourth-order foundation-building formations, plus the evolution of Yin Fire and Evil Wind, there will definitely be unusual activity if you cultivate."

"However, you don't need to protect this low-lying area for me. It should be able to shelter me for tens of thousands of years, enough for me to slowly advance to the ninth level of Taiyi. You should enter the mortal world and first find the astronomical observatory prophet or the demon race's great shaman priest. But I think the latter is probably very difficult. The Nine Ancient Blood Demons have almost all moved their cores out of the cultivation world. Now, the cultivation world is mostly dominated by the human race."

"Furthermore, please be extremely careful. Do not cultivate, do not deploy a third fourth-order foundation-building array, do not recklessly activate the miniature prison tower, and do not violate the heavenly rules. If you encounter heavenly soldiers and generals, you should avoid them."

"Don't think that just because there aren't even any Earth Immortals in the cultivation world now, you can act recklessly. This is definitely not because those Great Luo Immortals have given up on this cultivation world. They must have reached some kind of consensus and are cultivating the Imperial Observatory Prophets in this way. You and I are like hiding in the back garden of these Great Luo Immortals. If there is the slightest disturbance, we will easily be found and killed."

"In short, observe more, listen more, think more, and don't take action. Just be a good bystander."

"Furthermore, the more mortals there are, the more cultivators there will be, and the more variables that may be triggered, leading to all sorts of strange and unusual changes. Don't be misled or tricked."

"Remember, if you really encounter the most outstanding astronomical prophets, just take a look from afar, then keep a sufficient distance and observe them once every hundred years. Whatever you do, never let them discover you. These chosen ones, blessed by heaven and earth, often possess power that you don't even understand. They can easily fleece you and leave you with nothing but regret."

Shuangjun gave many detailed instructions, being unusually cautious.

Wang Wu felt that if she didn't cultivate the Way of Sincerity, she would definitely be a terrifying sixth person!

Of course, Wang Wu deeply agreed with her instructions.
