Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying-Chapter 553 - 379 【Corpse Retriever】Increase Life Span Limit, Pig Demon’s Belly Full of Treasures...
Chapter 553 -379 【Corpse Retriever】Increase Life Span Limit, Pig Demon’s Belly Full of Treasures…
Speaking of children, the siblings’ topic suddenly opened up.
Yang Fuqing, watching Yang Qiangzheng’s body reading a book and his eyes wandering everywhere, sighed.
“Little Jian, someone told me that a child’s personality is innate, but others say… it’s the parents’ guidance and experiences that are key to personality development, what do you think?”
“Human determination overcomes destiny; there are no children born bad,”
Yang Fujian said with certainty.
“Your personality is really like dad’s… I used to think so, but I’ve been personally guiding him, leading him on the right path for these years. Yet, he still overeats and likes to kill small animals, what should I do?”
Yang Fuqing looked at Yang Qiangzheng helplessly.
“You’re still too soft-hearted towards the child. If he can’t change, then beat him until he does. Uncle Hu, when he was alive, once said; no one can withstand ten continuous lashes, and if they do… just do another ten continuous lashes.”
Yang Fujian clearly had a tougher method of disciplining children, and Yang Fuqing just shook her head as she listened.
“Forget it, why make him suffer so much… It’s a natural curse. I don’t want Qiangzheng to continue Cultivation anymore; otherwise, disaster will eventually strike. It would be good for him to live as an ordinary person like Uncle Hu’s youngest son, Yang Changzai.”
Yang Fujian frowned deeply.
“Sister, you shouldn’t make decisions for Qiangzheng. He has to walk his own path and besides… Changzai is already training with me in martial arts. It’s not too late even at the age of twenty. I believe in him, and I believe in Qiangzheng, that life is made by walking it.”
After Yang Fujian finished speaking, Yang Fuqing fell into a long silence.
At this moment, Yang Genshuo, who was outside watching, could not stand it any longer.
“Yang Fuqing, what are you thinking!?”
“My Yang Qiangzheng, the only one in the family with Immortal Talent, and you won’t let him cultivate?”
“Do you even consider our ancestor’s intentions?”
Of course, it was just Yang Genshuo saying this; he did not manifest himself there.
But standing from a modern perspective and looking at Yang Qiangzheng’s character card, he actually understood the child better.
Manifestation.
“Qiangzheng likes to kill small animals, not because of poor character, but because his body is saving itself!”
“This is an instinct of a person with a frail body; he uses everything around him to help himself.”
“Don’t forget, how poor Qiangzheng’s physical quality was before; he couldn’t even walk at one year old, and colds and fevers were common occurrences. But since he absorbed his first ant… he changed; his body started improving, and his strength gradually grew.”
“These years, the reason Qiangzheng could act normally like Qiangjing is because he secretly killed small animals to absorb them. Do you know what his original Life Span was?”
When the ancestor asked, Yang Fuqing quickly knelt down and said:
“Ancestor, it is… 60 years.”
“Good to remember! Now, Qiangzheng’s Life Span has reached 62 years… You think he’s killing small animals stealthily, but actually, he’s saving himself.”
“This!”
Yang Fuqing looked incredulously at five-year-old Yang Qiangzheng, not expecting that he had already increased his Life Span by two years!
“Qiangzheng’s talent… can actually extend Life Span? This is… utterly astonishing.”
Whether they are Cultivators or Martial Cultivators, all are powerless in the face of their ultimate Life Span limit.
Birth, ageing, sickness, death; these are the laws of natural order, each Realm enjoys its corresponding Life Span.
If inherently deficient, then it’s a life of early decline.
Yang Qiangzheng is a standard case of early decline, having only 60 years, while ordinary children with a Spirit Root are born with a Life Span of 120 years.
He only has half that of others.
But Yang Qiangzheng’s talent is an extremely rare Immortal Talent named “Body Snatcher.”
[Body Snatcher (Immortal Level): Naturally dislikes living beings. Wherever they go, they bring bad luck to those around… Can absorb corpses from myriad species to strengthen themselves, a born killing god.]
Initially, Yang Genshuo didn’t quite understand the specific manifestations of this talent, just feeling it was akin to his [Blessing: Absorption].
But he never imagined, after not watching for a few years, that Yang Qiangzheng, this kid, covertly absorbing some kitchen-used spirit chickens and ducks, had managed to extend his Life Span by two years!
Don’t underestimate these two years!
It’s an increase in the upper limit!
Given his predisposition for early decline, even if he reached Foundation Establishment Stage, while his fellow Realm Cultivators enjoyed a 300-year Life Span, he would only have 240 years, 60 less than others.
But now, he had already reduced it to 58 years.
“If you can increase it by two years, you can increase it by 20 years, 200 years!”
“This talent is incredible! If used well, couldn’t it lead to immortality?”
Immortal Talent, terrifying as such!
Thus, hearing that Yang Fuqing was not planning to have Yang Qiangzheng cultivate, Yang Genshuo was furious.
“Foolish! All of your future achievements combined won’t compare to Qiangzheng!”
Although not as safe as “Nine Lives,” but this talent that increases the Life Span limit could be said to be extremely conservative. Who is the mightiest in the Immortal Cultivation World?
Those who live the longest are the mightiest!
I can cultivate slowly, survive for thousands of years, outlive all my peers, and I will have the highest Cultivation level.
The potential is limitless!
“It’s just unknown if there’s an upper limit…”
Moreover, this talent, aside from increasing Life Span, also enhanced some of Yang Qiangzheng’s other abilities. Although not shown on the panel, it was evident that Yang Qiangzheng’s Physique had improved and his Cultivation speed had increased.
He is the most common type with Five Spirit Roots, each balanced at 20, a five-sided figure of mediocrity.
He’s still young and can’t consume pills yet, but occasionally killing a spirit chicken or duck actually got him cultivating… now at Fetal Breathing second layer.
Just like his highly talented sister, Yang Qiangjing.
It’s clear how useful the “Body Snatcher” talent is.
