After Transmigrating, I Chose to Become the Villain Backed by an Immortal Clan - Chapter 4:

Chapter 4: Using the Li Family’s Accumulation of Hundreds of Thousands of Years to Pave Li He’s Path

“Ancestors, are we really going to use the Li Family’s accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years for He’er’s baptism? Isn’t this a bit too excessive…”

Li Wandao could not help but ask as he listened to the ten ancestors’ discussion.

“Hmph! Then tell me, why has our Li Family gathered so many Heavenly Treasures over hundreds of thousands of years? To let them sit in the treasury and gather dust?

Our accumulation exists precisely for the moment a peerless genius like He’er appears!

Let me make this clear. For He’er’s birth baptism, not to mention our hundreds of thousands of years of resources… if it were possible to directly transfer cultivation, we old bones would willingly pour all our lifetime cultivation into him!

In these few days, gather every top-tier Heavenly Treasure our Li Family has accumulated over the past hundreds of thousands of years!

Convert all of them into Spiritual Liquid proportionally. Three days later, we will conduct He’er’s baptism in the Li Family’s Ancestral Grounds!

Even if it exhausts every last bit of our foundation, we will pave this invincible path for He’er!

If anyone objects, tell them to come find me. Let them reason with me!”

The first ancestor’s voice carried overwhelming authority, suppressing the entire hall.

“This… this…”

Li Wandao opened his mouth as if to speak, but seeing the other nine ancestors nod in agreement, he ultimately fell silent.

Meanwhile, in Gu Qian’s arms, Li He listened to this passionate declaration.

In perfect timing, he chimed in with his childish voice, “Thank you, ancestors! I will definitely cultivate well and lead our Li Family back to the Upper Realm!”

His tender voice echoed through the hall.

“Oh? It seems our little He’er is not only precocious but also possesses an invincible heart.”

His words deeply resonated with the ancestors. The more they looked at him, the more satisfied they became.

…

“Hey, have you heard? For the baptism of the Holy Son born a few days ago, the ten ancestors unanimously decided to use all the Heavenly Treasures our Li Family has accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years!”

“Hundreds of thousands of years of Heavenly Treasures… just for one baptism? That’s insane…”

“Exactly! If it were anyone else wanting to use our Li Family’s entire accumulation for a single person, I’d be the first to object. That would be ridiculous.

But if it’s the Holy Son, that’s a different story!

You all witnessed the phenomenon on the day he was born, didn’t you? And you all benefited from it too!

With the Holy Son’s talent, not to mention our current accumulation… even if we borrowed resources from the next hundreds of thousands of years in advance, it wouldn’t be too much!

Just think about it. The patriarch reached the Tribulation Crossing Realm in 300 years. With the Holy Son’s talent, who knows… in 300 years, he might lead our Li Family straight into the Upper Realm!

If not for fearing the Holy Son might disdain my insignificant spiritual herbs, I would have donated all my belongings to help him!”

Within the Li Family, every disciple was discussing the upcoming baptism and the massive use of resources.

Yet without exception, everyone held the same view.

For a genius of the Holy Son’s level, using the Li Family’s accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years was only natural.

Three days later…

The selection of Heavenly Treasures from the Li Family’s treasury was finally complete.

All qualifying treasures were transported to the Li Family’s Ancestral Grounds.

At this moment, within the Ancestral Grounds…

The most eye-catching structure was a massive cauldron hundreds of meters wide at the center.

Beside it were several small mountains formed by piled Heavenly Treasures.

These mountains emitted dazzling seven-colored light and an intoxicating spiritual aura.

It was no exaggeration to say that even the most inconspicuous blade of grass taken from these piles would be at least a sixth-grade Spirit Awakening Realm spiritual herb.

If thrown anywhere across the Five Regions or the Three Continents, it would spark a storm of bloodshed.

Yet here, such high-grade herbs were piled like weeds.

At the very top, several golden glows shimmered… the legendary Immortal Herbs.

Even after hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation, the Li Family possessed only three Immortal Herbs, originally reserved to extend the ancestors’ lifespans.

Now, all three were being used for Li He’s baptism.

…

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

With three tolls of the bell, Li He was slowly placed into the cauldron.

He floated at the center, faint Dao Inscriptions flickering around him.

“Using a Legacy Immortal Artifact like the Chaos Cauldron to baptize a newborn… this must be the first time in the history of the Spirit Immortal Realm.”

Several ancestors couldn’t help but smile as they watched.

The third ancestor rose into the air, his aura surging as he lifted the mountains of Heavenly Treasures with both hands.

Suddenly, he exhaled a stream of immortal fire.

“Refine!”

As his aura continued to rise, the mountains gradually transformed from spiritual herbs into Spiritual Liquid.

Seeing the moment was right, the other nine ancestors each released a strand of Origin Immortal Qi into the mixture.

As the ten strands merged, the liquid formed from countless treasures fused together, its energy reaching an astonishing level.

“Little He’er! Take it well. How much you can absorb depends entirely on you!”

With a roar from the third ancestor, the Spiritual Liquid cascaded into the Chaos Cauldron like a waterfall.

Li He, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them as he felt the overwhelming surge of energy.

“I wonder how much he can absorb. Although He’er’s talent is unmatched, he is still just a newborn.

If he can absorb even one-tenth of this Spiritual Liquid… even if the rest dissipates into the world, it would still lay down a foundation that is the Strongest Foundation Across Eternity.

After all, not everyone possesses He’er’s level of talent.”

The ten ancestors stared at him nervously.

“He’er moved!”

Seeing him stretch lazily, their excitement surged.

At the same moment, as Li He prepared to absorb the Spiritual Liquid…

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You are facing a new choice… accumulation or breakthrough?]

[Option One: Refine the Spiritual Liquid without increasing cultivation. Focus on building your foundation and forge the Strongest Foundation Across Eternity. Reward: Physique upgrade from Chaos Physique to Primordial Physique.]

[Option Two: Refine the Spiritual Liquid without strengthening the foundation. Directly increase cultivation. Reward: Instantly reach the peak of the True Immortal Realm, but further cultivation will no longer progress.]
