Chapter 1: Immortal Sect’s Test, Multiple Children Blessing System!

Jiang Kingdom, Azure Cloud Sect.

On a misty jade square, hundreds of young men and women sat motionless.

Their eyes were shut tight, faces showing various expressions.

Some looked furious, others terrified. Some were overjoyed, while others seemed heartbroken.

“Hiss…”

Among the crowd, Lu Changsheng grunted, opening his eyes and instinctively covering his forehead.

Deep in his brain, waves of memories flooded out like a tidal wave, crashing into his mind.

With this rush of information, Lu Changsheng understood what had happened.

He had transmigrated.

He’d arrived in a world of immortal cultivation.

But for eighteen years, his memories hadn’t awakened.

Until today, during the fourth stage of Azure Cloud Sect’s entrance test, the ‘Heart Inquiry Platform’, his past life’s memories awakened.

“Someone’s awake so soon? What excellent willpower!”

Nearby, several Azure Cloud Sect examiners were surprised to see Lu Changsheng wake up.

The Heart Inquiry Platform was the fourth stage of Azure Cloud Sect’s test, examining one’s willpower.

In other words, it tested one’s mental state and determination.

Lu Changsheng woke up first because his past life’s memories had awakened.

“Lu Changsheng, Ninth-Tier Spirit Root, age eighteen. What a pity.”

“In the second stage, his endurance was only average. How strange he has such strong willpower.”

“With such willpower, if he had a Seventh-Tier Spirit Root, even at eighteen, he’d be a promising immortal seedling.”

“But with a Ninth-Tier Spirit Root at his age, his potential is limited. No matter how strong his willpower, it’s useless.”

After checking Lu Changsheng’s information, many showed looks of regret.

Lu Changsheng couldn’t hear the ‘immortal teachers’ comments.

He was now immersed in his mind and spirit.

With his past life’s memories awakened, the system that came with being a transmigrator also activated.

The Multiple Children Blessing System!

As the name suggests, the more children, the more blessings.

These blessings weren’t vague or intangible, but real, visible benefits.

According to the system’s introduction, there were currently two benefits.

First, there were many achievement rewards related to offspring. Once an achievement was triggered, the system would give a reward.

Second, his children’s talents and strengths would all be added to him as the father.

Moreover, his children’s children, his descendants, their talents and strengths would also benefit him.

However, the bonus from grandchildren wasn’t as much as from children, decreasing by half each generation.

“Multiple Children Blessing System, unlock offspring achievements to get system rewards?”

“And my children’s and descendants’ talents and strengths will be added to me?”

“This feels like playing a child-rearing game, having kids, raising them, unlocking achievements for rewards.”

“But with this system, doesn’t it mean my Spirit Root talent can be improved? If my future children and descendants are powerful, I’ll soar with them, becoming immortal while lying down!”

After understanding his system, Lu Changsheng felt excited and thrilled.

In this world, to cultivate immortality, the first step was needing a Spirit Root.

Spirit roots were divided into nine grades.

Ninth to seventh grade were low quality.

Sixth to fourth grade were middle quality.

Third to first grade were high quality.

Above first grade were earth Spirit Roots, heaven Spirit Roots, and some rare variant Spirit Roots.

In the first stage of the test, the aptitude check, Lu Changsheng learned he only had a Ninth-Tier Spirit Root.

The worst Spirit Root.

Cultivating immortality would be extremely difficult, with limited future achievements.

But now with the system, the Multiple Children Blessing System, Lu Changsheng felt his future immortal path wouldn’t be so hard.

As long as he had many children, raised them well, and worked hard to build a big family, he as the ancestor could soar while lying down.

“Father! Mother! No!”

“It’s fake, so what just happened was only an illusion!”

“Hahaha! I did it, I’ve become immortal!!!”

“No, this is the fake one, don’t try to fool me!”

At this moment, the young men and women on the Heart Inquiry Platform woke up one after another, calling out as if they’d experienced nightmares, interrupting Lu Changsheng’s thoughts.

“Lu Changsheng, when did you wake up?”

Several people nearby noticed Lu Changsheng was already awake and seemed surprised.

“I just woke up a moment ago.”

Lu Changsheng replied, looking over the three men and two women before him.

Hong Yi, sixteen years old, Eighth-Tier Spirit Root, son of a noble.

Han Lin, fifteen years old, Seventh-Tier Spirit Root, from a blacksmith family.

Li Feiyu, eighteen years old, Seventh-Tier Spirit Root, young leader of the Red Whale Gang.

Xiao Xiyue, fifteen years old, Fourth-Tier Spirit Root, young lady from a scholarly family.

Zhao Qingqing, sixteen years old, Sixth-Tier Spirit Root, from a family of doctors.

These five, like him, were immortal seedlings recruited by Azure Cloud Sect’s mortal branch.

They had become somewhat familiar along the way.

However, this familiarity was just huddling together in an unfamiliar environment.

The five came from vastly different backgrounds, making it hard to truly connect.

Only Han Lin and Lu Changsheng were a bit closer.

Because Lu Changsheng came from a farming family, he got along better with Han Lin.

“I seem to have woken up first, I wonder if that means I can enter the immortal sect.”

Lu Changsheng thought as he watched the others gradually wake up around him.

Even with the system backing him, he still hoped to join Azure Cloud Sect.

Because he was just from an ordinary farming family, it was by chance that he got this immortal opportunity and was brought to take Azure Cloud Sect’s test.

If he couldn’t join Azure Cloud Sect, cultivating immortality would be very difficult.

Immortal cultivation required ‘wealth, companions, methods, and place’, none could be missing.

Wealth needed no explanation.

Whether in the mortal world or the immortal world, money came first.

Companions meant fellow cultivators, partners.

Methods meant cultivation techniques, dao methods, and others’ teachings.

Lastly, place referred to cultivation grounds.

Most mortal areas, lacking spirit veins, had thin and poor Qi, making cultivation very slow.

If he could join Azure Cloud Sect, at the beginning stage, he’d have wealth, companions, methods, and place all complete.

This was why countless people wanted to join immortal sects.

“Those whose names are called, step forward.”

Soon, seeing everyone on the Heart Inquiry Platform awake, a Azure Cloud Sect steward floated in mid-air, took out a jade book, and began announcing the list of those who passed.

“Zhu San, Xiao Yuan, Han Lin…… Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing……”

Names were called one by one.

Those whose names were called were all excited, full of joy, looking forward to their future immortal paths.

Those whose names weren’t called became increasingly heavy-hearted, full of disappointment.

“Is that all?”

Li Feiyu saw the Azure Cloud Sect steward put away the list and looked unsatisfied.

“Why isn’t my name on the list!?”

Hong Yi also bit his lip, his face turning slightly pale, in disbelief.

Though he had an Eighth-Tier Spirit Root, he came from a noble family and had used connections and money to arrange things in advance.

“Sigh!”

Seeing his name wasn’t called, Lu Changsheng also sighed, feeling a bit down.

But with the system, he wasn’t too upset.

Beside him, some people burst into tears at this moment.

“The rest of you, leave the mountain gate immediately!”

The Azure Cloud Sect steward said coldly.

Then he waved his sleeve, and an auspicious cloud appeared under the feet of those chosen, carrying them away.

The remaining hundreds of people all had bitter looks on their faces, leaving reluctantly.

“Stepping out this gate, from now on our fates diverge, immortals and mortals on different paths!”

Walking out of Azure Cloud Sect’s mountain gate, many lamented and cried out.

Not being able to join an immortal sect, even if they stepped on the immortal path, they’d only be loose cultivators.

Their fate would be completely different from sect disciples.

Hong Yi also looked at the misty, glowing Azure Cloud Sect with great reluctance, sighing repeatedly.

During the journey before, he had been pursuing Xiao Xiyue.

But now, Xiao Xiyue tested as having a Fourth-Tier Spirit Root and successfully joined Azure Cloud Sect, while he was eliminated.

She immediately became someone out of his reach.

His status as a noble’s son meant nothing in front of a sect disciple.

Even Han Lin, whom he had looked down on before, and Zhao Qingqing, whom he had no interest in, now that they had joined Azure Cloud Sect, would be existences he’d look up to in the future.

“What should I do next?”

Lu Changsheng looked at Azure Cloud Sect’s mountain gate, took a deep breath, and pondered his next steps.

Although he had the system to rely on.

Using it wouldn’t be simple.

There was an initial accumulation stage, needing to constantly marry and have children, then raise and cultivate them.

The time, money, and energy spent on this would be no small amount.

For his current self, it would be very difficult.

Although he had a Spirit Root, he was just from an ordinary farming family, poor and without resources.

If he couldn’t join an immortal sect, this Spirit Root wouldn’t be worth much.

Just as everyone was coming down the mountain, a refined man in his thirties or forties, wearing a long cyan robe, approached. Looking at the descending crowd, he said:

“Young friends, my Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family is now recruiting twenty son-in-laws, offering spirit vein blessed lands and immortal cultivation manuals. Is anyone interested?”
