Family Cultivation: I Farm and Raise Fish under the Sea-Chapter 440 - 244 Unparalleled Dominance!

The days that followed were incredibly leisurely.

Lu Li spent each day either frolicking with the ladies or going out to amuse himself, such joy in cockfighting and dog racing.

Life had not a single ripple, as if he were in a dream.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed.

That day, early morning.

In the back garden of the Prince Mansion.

Lu Li sat squarely in a chair, with a grand Eight Immortals table before him filled with various delicacies.

Surrounding him was a large group of chirping women and many young girls by his side.

Lu Li surveyed his surroundings, suddenly feeling a strange sensation in his heart.

The Princess Liu and his favored concubine Mo, sat beside him.

Time seemed to have left no trace on the faces of the two women; instead, they became even more beautiful.

Children surrounded the two women, filling the whole place with laughter and joy.

Lu Li felt increasingly uneasy, as if his heart were resisting something.

"Is the king troubled by something?"

Concubine Mo smiled tenderly, a myriad of charms blooming.

"No, this king has just been a bit bored lately."

Lu Li gave a slight smile, offering no explanation.

"Isn’t the king happy with us? In the future, I will strive even harder to serve you."

Mo stood up to pour a cup of tea, her movements a pleasure to watch.

Adjacent, the Princess and various other concubines also wore smiles, without a hint of jealousy.

Lu Li sipped the tea with an expressionless face.

Yet, a sense of unreality surged in his heart.

Over the years, Mo and the Princess each bore him eight children, and with other women, even more—dozens in total—making him quite renowned throughout the Empire and the subject of many a delightful tale.

Moreover, the harmony among the group of women in his inner court spared them from any deceit or manipulation, which even made other emperors envious.

This gave rise to a trace of doubt in Lu Li.

And as time passed, that feeling intensified.

Harboring these thoughts, a family dinner passed just like that.

Night, as silent as still water.

A magnificent bedroom.

Two figures leaned against the bed’s edge, Lu Li and his concubine Mo.

Mo’s face still flushed after intimacy, her eyes shimmering like rippling water.

"Is the king worried about something, unhappy with growing old together with us?"

Mo’s face was like a peach blossom, her soft hand gently stroking Lu Li’s chest.

Lu Li smiled faintly, remaining silent.

He continued to search for an indistinct sensation deep within him.

External world.

Mo Qingyan looked at the scene within the Illusion Realm, her face alternating between green and red.

She hadn’t expected Lu Li to be so "bold," having a flock of children in the Illusion Realm.

Decades inside, yet only a moment had passed in the real world.

Just as she was about to activate the Spirit Talisman to try and wake Lu Li, a sudden change occurred.

"fizz..."

Lu Li felt a cool breeze surge from the depths of his soul.

A flood of vast memories rapidly rushed toward his mind.

The scene began to disintegrate, transforming into wisps of Spiritual Energy, sweeping in all directions.

"Well done, truly a Heart-Seeking Array left by a great power from the higher realm."

In that moment, Lu Li instantly woke up.

In the fleeting moment his spirit was entranced, decades had passed in the Illusion Realm.

Had he awoken even a moment later, he might have died of old age within the Illusion Realm.

No wonder numerous Cultivators had perished here before.

Lu Li scanned his surroundings, still standing on the altar.

The figure of his concubine Mo had long vanished.

The Runes at the edge of the altar were still flickering with gleaming light.

The decades of experience were like a fleeting dream.

It even left him somewhat nostalgic.

Lu Li leaped off the altar, soaring down.

Quickly, he approached Mo Qingyan, looking somewhat embarrassed.

The scene just now was most likely fully witnessed by her.

The rumors claimed that what appeared in the Illusion Realm represented a Cultivator’s deepest desires.

Lu Li was also very puzzled, as he had always respected Mo Qingyan without any other intentions.

"tssk..."

Mo Qingyan’s cheeks flushed, she lightly tsked.

"We Cultivators should prioritize the great Dao and should not linger too much on the love of children."

She gently adjusted her hair, her tone very gentle.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Mo, for your guidance."

Lu Li bowed courteously.

When he had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, he had enlightened his own path.

Pure hard cultivation was not suitable for him; even if he reached the peak of the immortal path, it was too lonely.

Regarding Mo Qingyan’s admonition, he did not argue but felt warmth in his heart.

The two shared mutual interests and had a very stable relationship; naturally, she would not harm him.

"Now it’s my turn."

Mo Qingyan then smiled faintly, flying toward the altar.

Moments later, she stood in the center of the altar, the breeze gently swaying her white dress, making her appear even more graceful.

As the Runes around the altar flickered, dream-like radiance enveloped the whole area.

Mo Qingyan was firmly surrounded by it.

The test officially began.

Next, Lu Li witnessed from a spectator’s perspective the rise of a female swordsman.

At three, she apprenticed to practice swordsmanship; at ten, she mastered basic sword techniques and then invented her own.

At twenty, her skills were exceptional, far surpassing her master, displaying a brilliant talent that awed both past and present generations.

At twenty-eight, she became a top warrior, defeating the leaders of the Eighteen Dark Cloud Villages...

...

At thirty, she was unrivaled in the world, then with one sword, she broke through the void and left this realm, leaving behind a remarkable story.

In just a moment, Mo Qingyan opened her eyes, very clear-sighted.

She had faced the Heart-Seeking Platform several times before, each time gaining new insights, indeed quite miraculous.

Then Mo Qingyan flew down from the altar, coming to Lu Li’s side.

"Let’s go, to tackle the second challenge."

She smiled faintly and led the way forward.
