Marrying Wives and Attaining Immortality in a Chaotic World

Chapter 272: Gathering the Materials

The Goddess of Nine Heavens left to find a way to obtain the Unity Realm cultivation resource, Roots of Passage, for Xu Lian.

As for how she would get the Roots of Passage, that was none of Xu Lian’s concern.

Whether she stole, robbed, or traded for them, Xu Lian wouldn’t reveal the laws of the Divine Kingdom for her to comprehend until he received the Roots of Passage.

Trapped in the mini-world with nothing to do, Xu Lian continued to play with mud. He had already tried every method to leave this mini-world, but to no avail. Even the purple jade token and the two divine bones couldn’t help him escape. The rules of this miniature world were truly mysterious.

According to the Goddess of Nine Heavens, this mini-world was a secret realm of her family, most likely used as a refuge during special times. It was indeed extraordinary.

However, even if the exit was right in front of him, Xu Lian would still hesitate to leave.

He was actually quite satisfied here. Not only could he obtain the Roots of Passage, but he could also take liberties with the Goddess of Nine Heavens without any consequences. Where else could he find such a perfect place?

Several months later.

Xu Lian suddenly received a system message.

[Pei Zhaoxi has given birth to a child for you. You have received 1 progression point].

He was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that the women’s due dates had arrived and they were starting to give birth.

Over the next few days, he received notifications almost daily.

[Jing Se has given birth to a child for you. You have received 1 progression point].

[Liu Yixuan has given birth to two children for you. You have received 2 progression points]…

And so, after a little over a month, all the children were born.

As Xu Lian had estimated, there were 26 children in total.

[Name: Xu Lian]

[Rank: Unity Realm, 7th Stage]

[Skills: Nine Elements Escape Techniques, Four Symbols Battle Tactics, Great Desolate Dragon Grasping Technique, Sacred Spirit Record (Immortal Law Supplement), Breaking Wind Sword Technique (Volumes 1-3)…]

[Items: Skull (Immortal Bone), Left Hand Bone (Divine Bone), Sword of Destruction (Not Equipped)]

[Note: You currently have 43 progression points available for use].

Looking at the 43 progression points in his account, Xu Lian felt a mix of helplessness and satisfaction. He had more than enough points to spend, but now the bottleneck was the cultivation materials.

Currently, he was at the Unity Realm, 7th Stage. Above that were the Origin Tracing Realm, the Sage Realm, and the Supreme Realm. Assuming that each realm had nine smaller levels, that would be 3 x 9 = 27, plus the three major realms, for a total of 30 levels.

In other words, he only needed 30 progression points to reach the peak of the Supreme Realm. He truly had more than enough points to spare.

“Now that I have an excess of progression points, it’s time to allocate some to skills and items,” Xu Lian thought to himself.

He immediately decided to act on his thoughts.

“Skill: Sacred Spirit Record, allocate points!”

He silently commanded.

[Skill point allocation successful. Add a complete Immortal Law as material to advance Sacred Spirit Record to level 2 Immortal Law].

“Ugh!”

Xu Lian almost spat out blood.

This was unexpected, yet it made sense.

It was unexpected because he had never imagined that advancing the Sacred Spirit Record would require a complete Immortal Law. It was questionable whether immortals even existed in this world, so where could he possibly find such a thing?

It made sense because the Sacred Spirit Record was already a supplement to an Immortal Law. Naturally, advancing it would require extraordinary materials.

“Fortunately, I had the foresight not to waste progression points on skills earlier. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to reach my current cultivation level.”

Xu Lian quickly regained his composure, feeling proud of his wise decision.

What did this mean?

It meant that he had chosen the right path from the very beginning, mastering the allocation of points without any detours.

“Item: Sword of Destruction, allocate points!”

He decided to try again. With 42 progression points, spending two points wouldn’t hurt. He wanted to see what materials were needed to level up the 9-star Heavenly Sword of Destruction. If he ever got lucky and found the materials, he would strike it rich.

[Item point allocation successful. Add a piece of Immortal Gold to upgrade the Sword of Destruction to an Immortal Sword].

Immortal Gold?

Xu Lian’s mouth twitched. Anything with the word “Immortal” in it couldn’t be simple.

At the same time, he gained a clearer understanding of the hierarchy of skills and items.

The lowest tier was Mortal Grade, followed by Mystic Grade, Earth Grade, Heaven Grade, and finally Immortal Grade.

Each major tier was further subdivided into nine smaller tiers, also known as the Nine Stars.

Take the Sword of Destruction, for example. It was a Heaven-grade, 9-star weapon, just one step away from becoming an Immortal Sword.

“The Sword of Destruction was the lifeblood weapon of the ancestor of the Jiang family, one of the Thirteen Clans. It seems that the ancestor of the Jiang family was truly formidable, a legendary figure who once stood at the pinnacle of the cultivation world.”

Xu Lian felt both awe and longing.

When would he reach such a level, where plucking stars and moons would be as easy as picking fruit?

At that level, even Supreme Realm cultivators would seem like children in comparison.

Clueless children.

However, the ancestor of the Jiang family belonged to the mythical era of the Primordial Era. In the current era of strangeness, once one reached the Supreme Realm, one’s body would undergo indescribable and bizarre transformations. It would be difficult to reach the level of the ancestor of the Jiang family.

Several more months passed.

Finally, the Goddess of Nine Heavens returned. Her stunning face showed signs of fatigue, and she looked travel-worn with injuries on her body.

Xu Lian was shocked, “What happened to you?”

The Goddess of Nine Heavens rolled her eyes at him and threw a package at him, “It’s all for you! Do you think high-level controlled cultivation resources like Roots of Passage are easy to obtain? I tried every method-stealing, robbing, trading with friends-just to collect enough.”

“I’m really sorry for all the trouble. How can I ever repay you?”

Xu Lian’s words were apologetic, but his hands moved quickly to open the package.

Inside were indeed the Roots of Passage.

He counted them carefully – exactly 311.

“You spoil me so. I feel like I’m living off you.”

Xu Lian’s grin stretched from ear to ear.

With these 311 Roots of Passage, what did it mean?

It meant that he could advance to the Unity Realm, the 9th Stage. Then he could go to the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands and claim a portion of the Origin Tracing Realm cultivation resources. One portion would give him 100 resources, allowing him to reach the Origin Tracing Realm, 6th Stage!

The 6th Stage of Origin Tracing Realm!

What did that mean? He would be a top tier powerhouse!

Moreover, with the Sword of Destruction, a weapon close to an Immortal Sword, and the Sacred Spirit Record, a supplement to an Immortal Law, his combat power would skyrocket.

He could even hold his own against a 9th Stage Origin Tracing Realm cultivator!

In other words, unless a sage appeared, who would challenge him?

“Who’s pampering you? This is a fair trade.”

The Goddess of Nine Heavens glared at him, “Now, reveal the laws of the Divine Kingdom.”

Xu Lian stored the Roots of Passage and pulled her into his arms, heading towards the cottage, “Yuan, don’t rush. Let me check your injuries. You’re my woman now, and I can’t help but worry about you.”

Was he really concerned about her injuries? The Goddess of Nine Heavens was half convinced, half skeptical. She suspected that checking her injuries was just an excuse to take advantage of her.

After a while.

Xu Lian and the Goddess of Nine Heavens came out of the hut. He had checked her injuries, and they weren’t serious. She just needed some time to recover.

“Now, reveal the laws of the Divine Kingdom.”

The Goddess of Nine Heavens was impatient. She had sacrificed too much – providing cultivation resources and letting him take liberties. She had to get the laws of the Divine Kingdom.

Xu Lian focused his mind and removed the shielding effect of the Divine Clan’s strongest Divine Bone, revealing the laws of the Divine Kingdom. He gently held the Goddess of Nine Heavens and sat down on the ground, inhaling the fragrant scent of her long, waterfall-like hair. A goddess was indeed a goddess, carrying a pleasant fragrance. “Look, take a look slowly, this is something from our family.”

Goddess of Nine Heavens had no choice but to follow him, and concentrated on observing the laws of the Divine Kingdom.

On the contrary, Xu Lian hoped that she could comprehend the laws of the Divine Kingdom as soon as possible so that he could get out sooner.

As for playing tricks, Xu Lian had thought about this idea, but it would definitely not work out. If he completely angered the Goddess of Nine Heavens, she really might trap him here forever, and that would be very bad.
