Although he could still attempt a breakthrough at the Tenth-Layer Qi Cultivation, with daily Cultivation rewards, Shen Wang could easily reach the Twelfth Layer, pushing the foundation to the limit of Qi Cultivation.
In this way, it was certain to choose a more solid Twelfth-Layer for the breakthrough.
"Begin to refine Spiritual Power, no need to overly rely on Spirit Crystals before Foundation Establishment."
Shen Wang tossed a Spirit Crystal to Lan Kui, the latter’s level had already reached the Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation, much faster than his usual progression.
He was increasingly curious about the potential of this goldfish; could it be that as long as there were enough Spirit Crystals, becoming a Foundation Establishment Stage Great Demon would be easy?
Shen Wang dared not give too much, although he controlled a wisp of its Spirit, for safety’s sake, he couldn’t let its Cultivation surpass his own.
Who knows if, once its Cultivation was higher, it would find a way to reclaim its Spirit.
He routinely went to the wall to observe outside.
There hadn’t been any sightings of outsiders for a week now, it seemed the crisis was over.
In truth, Shen Wang knew Profound Thunder Zhenren hadn’t left, he was just waiting for him outside.
It wasn’t that he could detect the other’s presence, but rather a situation.
Normally, the zombies and malevolent beings that tried to enter the ancestral home daily were behaving properly and hadn’t reappeared.
This peculiar phenomenon definitely wasn’t because of him, after all, he couldn’t threaten those creatures, but Profound Thunder Zhenren could, deterring them.
Profound Thunder Zhenren surely didn’t know about this, thinking he was well hidden, waiting for him to come out on his own.
Regarding this mindset, he considered Profound Thunder Zhenren as selflessly dedicating, helping him to intimidate the malevolent.
After a round of inspection, Shen Wang’s gaze suddenly shifted, landing on a tree branch.
A sprout emerged on the bare branch, carrying a hint of green.
He paused for a moment and sighed, "Time flies, spring is coming, around this time, the family must be preparing for ancestor worship, I wonder if they will come to the ancestral home."
Shen Wang wasn’t worried that Xuan Ting would act against the Shen Family, after all, they were a family affiliated with the Celestial Travel Sect. Even though the Shen Family was now weakened and just a small family, the Yun Family had the strength but not the guts to act recklessly.
The Celestial Travel Sect does not allow its subordinate families to engage in random slaughter. If it happens, they will inevitably intervene.
"I just don’t know if they’ll use other means to compel the family to influence me."
Shen Wang pondered this; Profound Thunder Zhenren couldn’t coerce him but could threaten and entice the Shen Family to pressure him.
As he thought about these things, he routinely checked the array, ultimately not too worried.
This was already his home turf, as long as he didn’t go out without opening the array, the family couldn’t touch him, at most they could only say useless things in front of him, which couldn’t affect his decisions.
He just needed to be wary of the Yun Family mixing into the ancestor worship group or making the family act against him; the former required vigilance, while the latter needed enough strength so the family couldn’t do anything even if they acted.
Continuing his affairs, he discovered more surprises in his cultivation.
After entering the Tenth-Layer Qi Cultivation, the transformation of Spiritual Power became the primary focus, with the increase in quantity being secondary.
During the daily rewards, he discovered that the system could directly enhance the transformation progress of his Cultivation.
It seemed that whether it was the quantity or quality of the Cultivation, the system’s rewards could enhance both.
If quantity was lacking, it would increase quantity; if quality was lacking, it would improve quality, which was perfect.
This led Shen Wang to think of a possibility.
If he reached the Perfection of Twelfth-Layer Qi Cultivation, could he not rely on the system to forcibly enter the Foundation Establishment Stage?
That would be better than taking a Foundation Establishment Pill, or even having a strong expert assist in Foundation Establishment, as this method had a success rate of a hundred percent without side effects.
After realizing this possibility, Shen Wang felt that he didn’t even need to put in much effort anymore.
He could simply farm system rewards.
As long as he accumulated enough, both Foundation Establishment and even Golden Core would be no problem.
This made him somewhat conflicted, if breakthroughs in major realms were reliant on the system, would that make him seem useless?
To avoid this, Shen Wang paid more attention to understanding the realm, placing less emphasis on merely increasing Cultivation.
In his view, as long as he understood, even achieving Perfection, there wasn’t much need to pay attention to accumulating Cultivation.
Next, as Shen Wang’s Dantian expanded, his Spiritual Power advanced toward the Eleventh-Layer Qi Cultivation.
From Tenth Layer to Eleventh Layer, the main process was still the transformation of Spiritual Power.
Throughout Qi Cultivation from Tenth to Twelfth Layer, with a ten percent transformation of Spiritual Power, you could reach the Tenth Layer, thirty percent would be the Eleventh Layer, and seventy percent would be Twelfth-Layer Qi Cultivation.
Basically, after seventy percent transformation, the breakthrough would become easy, and by then, the Spiritual Power would be very close to Spiritual Essence of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
And the system’s rewards were completely based on a percentage; after a few rewards, Shen Wang’s realm progressed without any difficulty.
The system’s reward directly became a ratio of Spiritual Power transformation.
A single reward transformed one percent, and within two days, Shen Wang unexpectedly broke through another layer to reach the Eleventh-Layer Qi Cultivation.
After the breakthrough, Shen Wang was somewhat bewildered, quite incredulous.
When he released his Spiritual Power, seeing the green and red Spiritual Power significantly denser, he had no choice but to accept with a wry smile the result of reaching the Eleventh-Layer Qi Cultivation.
At this speed, Shen Wang could farm nine points of reward a day, and in another five days, he could break through to Twelfth-Layer Qi Cultivation.
Clearly, these three layers were all slow work, typically taking others years or even over a decade to gather Spiritual Power, yet he only needed about ten days.
Shen Wang increasingly felt that after having more children, the system’s power was gradually being revealed.
Now with three offspring, without overexerting, nurturing the meridians morning, noon, and night daily, his Cultivation could cumulatively increase by over nine points.
He could break through a minor layer in just ten days or so even without cultivating, a speed comparable to tenfold or hundredfold of others.
If he cultivated, the time could be shortened further.
And if he had another descendant, the rate of increase would further rise, accelerating the speed of enhancement.
For him, it was a typical case of "more children, more fortune," the more descendants, the stronger the benefits from the system.
After further experiencing the benefits, Shen Wang was more motivated to protect Paper Kite and the others.
His women giving birth to his children and enabling him to receive system rewards, if he couldn’t protect them well, how would he be different from being useless?
As Shen Wang adjusted his mindset and quietly aspired toward Twelfth-Layer Qi Cultivation, people arrived outside the ancestral home.
This time, it was not the enemy, but members of the Shen Family.
He estimated the time, and it was time for the ancestor worship.
