Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 216: Year 100, Grand Ceremony

”These three children have finally grown up.”

Li Wei felt deeply moved. He had practically watched these three children grow up over the past two years.

He quickly switched the screen.

Now, time has reached the 100th year of the Li family!

In the ancestral hall of the Li family estate, Li Dalong had already prepared the offerings and was kneeling in worship to Li Wei!

Throughout the Azure Cloud region, in the Thunderfire Cave, the Skyveil Sect, the Swamp Forest, the Black Tortoise Sect... everywhere, the Li family descendants were setting up altars. No matter how busy they were, they would all worship Li Weiʼs ancestral tablet.

As long as the ancestral tablet was present, any place could become Li Weiʼs ancestral hall!

[Year 100, the once-a-ten years Grand Ceremony begins!]

”Ancestor,” Li Tianshuang said, kowtowing, ”your child wishes you a prosperous year ahead and hopes to capture those two Demon Kings to guard our Li family!”

”Your child, Tianniu, performs ancestral worship today, praying that in the future, I will be surrounded by beautiful women, each showering me with treasures.”

”Your child, Tianming, offers eighty-one human heads to enliven the Grand Sacrifice. Ancestor, please accept them!”

”....”

Seeing the continuous stream of offerings on the screen, Li Wei was speechless. The first few generations were still alright.

But the fourth generation was truly something else. He did receive the natural treasures and pills he needed, but the wishes they made were truly headache-inducing.

”Do you think Iʼm Santa Claus?” he grumbled. ”And that brat who offered human heads, do you want me to drink tea from their skulls?”

After complaining for a while, Li Wei collected all the natural treasures.

[Acquired Beast Blood Fruit x250]

[Acquired Great Yang Enhancement Elixir x200]

[Acquired Eighth-Grade pill ʼSoul Blending Pillʼ x3, Seventh-Grade pill ʼSpirit Accumulation Pillʼ...]

[...]

[Do you wish to retrieve the offerings from your descendants?]

Gazing at the screen, Li Weiʼs heart was filled with relief and excitement. A hundred years had passed, and the offerings he received were increasing. His descendants all held him in high regard.

He also believed that with these pills, he could elevate himself to the peak of the Golden Core stage.

However, Li Wei understood that he had to make good use of these pills because he had also seen the future predicted by the Primordial Blood Tree using its lifeblood that day!

[Yes!]

As he retrieved the offerings from his descendants, the room was instantly filled with natural treasures. Then, just like last time, he absorbed them one by one.

And also...

[You are bestowing your gift upon your descendant, Li Dalong.]

[Dual Cultivation Techniques for the Bedchamber x1]

He had purchased this dual cultivation technique from some peculiar websites recently.

Over the years, it had become increasingly difficult for the Li family to have children.

The stronger a cultivator became, the lower their fertility. This seemed to be a general rule of nature.

Take Feng Qingyang, for example. He was hundreds of years old, and to have another child, he had put in a tremendous amount of effort. It was said that he spent most of his family fortune just to have Feng Mi.

The same was true on Earth. For a long time, the birth rate had been far lower than the death rate.

To change this, Earth strictly controlled conflict and gathered various dual cultivation techniques, eventually developing the ”Dual Cultivation Techniques for the Bedchamber.”

It was said that when these techniques were introduced, the nights on Earth were filled with tremors everywhere. Walking down the street, you would think there was a battle raging.

Gradually, the birth rate improved.

”The ancestor has bestowed his grace once again,” Li Dalong exclaimed. ”On behalf of my descendants, I thank you, Ancestor! I will ensure that the Li family returns to our homeland and lives up to your expectations!”

Seeing the two items beside the incense burner, Li Dalong kowtowed without hesitation.

He picked up the spirit stone and looked at it, then stood there, at a loss for what to do. After a long while, he looked at the ancestral tablet in disbelief, then back at the spirit stone in his hand.

The wind blowing in from outside the ancestral hall made him feel a bit disoriented.

The technique contained within this spirit stone not only had written instructions but also moving images demonstrating the movements, with meticulous detail.

As he forced himself to look at the ancestorʼs gift, Li Dalongʼs expression became increasingly complex.

It wasnʼt that the Li family didnʼt have any dual cultivation techniques, but they were all largely ineffective. However, this technique bestowed by the ancestor was incredibly detailed and comprehensive, truly astonishing!

It could even help with human-demon pairings.

”Thank you, Ancestor!” Li Dalong exclaimed gratefully. ”This child understands. You wish for me to continue expanding the family. We still have too few children!”

Li Dalong expressed his profuse gratitude. ”Please rest assured, Ancestor,” he said, ”when my Li family descendants return home, with your dual cultivation techniques, the Li family will flourish throughout the Azure Cloud region!”

He casually bestowed upon Li Dalong a wave of ”Ancestorʼs Warm Embrace.”

What Li Wei cared about more now was the notification window on the screen!

[Congratulations! You have absorbed a large amount of natural treasures and reached the peak of the Golden Core stage!]

[The conditions for the familyʼs hundred-year development have been met. Please select the skill you wish to upgrade!]

[Detected remaining incense merit points: over 230,000]

...

The Grand Ceremony concluded.

[Year 101]

Li Wei quietly observed the Li family members diligently cultivating. Indeed, as Li Kuangren had said, they werenʼt the only ones striving tirelessly. His elders were also silently accumulating strength!

Li Yaowen would send him updates every now and then. The forces of Dawn were investigating the enemyʼs movements.

Everything was unfolding as the Primordial Blood Tree had foreseen.

One day, the descendants of the Li family would arrive at the Li family estate.

The wind swept through, heralding the coming storm.
