Just moments ago, he had been wondering when this task would be completed,
And now it was already done?
His divine sense spread out to investigate,
Yet he found no one in the Chu family had broken through to Martial Emperor!
"Not in the Chu family? Could it be that kid Chu Yan?"
Long Yuan was slightly shocked.
Could that kid's breakthrough really be so fast?
The rapid breakthroughs of the Chu family members were due to experiencing hundreds of years in the Chrono Pagoda,
But what method had Chu Yan used?
"Truly worthy of being a template character!"The speed of this breakthrough genuinely surprised even him.
"But this breakthrough came at the perfect time!"
Looking at the generous rewards, Long Yuan smiled.
Thirty thousand years of cultivation,
The supreme divine technique "World Within Palm",
The supreme physique "Eyes of Providence",
Plus all those rewards for the Chu family - simply fantastic!
With these things,
Another batch of monstrous geniuses would be born!
The Chu family's rise to prominence was truly imminent!
However, Long Yuan couldn't wait to check the new task,
And sure enough,
The latest task wasn't about nurturing a Martial God,
But cultivating an Emperor-tier alchemist!
He decisively summoned Chu Jingyue who was in seclusion.
"Does the family have sufficient Heaven-Earth Essence Stones? If so, open the first floor of the Chrono Pagoda and let children aged 10 to 20 enter for cultivation, along with promising alchemists and artifact forgers. Too much time is being wasted outside!"
Each floor of the Chrono Pagoda had limited space,
And couldn't accommodate too many people!
Previously, opening it was to nurture family elites,
But this time it was to rapidly develop the younger generation,
Once these youngsters grew stronger,
They could take wives and concubines to greatly increase the Chu family's population.
At the same time, professions like alchemists and artifact forgers needed to be developed,
Now that the task to cultivate an Emperor-tier alchemist had appeared,
Tasks for Emperor-tier artifact forgers and formation masters probably weren't far behind,
It was time for advance preparation!
"Reporting to Beast God, not just the first floor - we could even open the second and third floors for a year without issue!"
Chu Jingyue replied.
Counting the Qian Region and Dragon Region,
The Chu family now controlled seven regions,
With no shortage of Heaven-Earth Essence Veins,
Including those Essence Stones tributed annually by vassal forces,
The annual Essence Stone income could be described as massive.
Apart from family members' cultivation and various rewards,
There was still plenty left!
"In that case, open the third floor for one year!"
One year on the third floor,
Would equal forty years inside the Chrono Pagoda,
More than enough time for those youths to develop,
The only concern Long Yuan had was for the alchemists and artifact forgers,
Progress in these professions was extremely difficult!
In forty years,
Not just Emperor-tier,
Even breaking through to Saint-grade would be challenging!
"Go summon the highest-level alchemist, artifact forger, and formation master in the family!"
Long Yuan instructed Chu Jingyue,
Who felt a shock in his heart,
Was Beast God going to bestow opportunities upon them again?
His guess was absolutely correct,
Long Yuan was about to give them cheats!
Without cheats, quickly breaking through to Emperor-tier would be pure fantasy!
Before long,
Chu Jingyue brought three people,
The current highest-level practitioners of those three professions in the Chu family.
"Chu Liuli!"
"Chu Kuixing!"
"Chu Sanqi"
"Pay respects to Beast God!"
The three were both shocked and delighted,
Never expecting Beast God would personally receive them.
Especially the elder Chu Sanqi - when seeing Beast God up close, he couldn't stop his tears, suddenly prostrating on the ground and wailing loudly, leaving Chu Jingyue utterly stunned,
Was such extreme emotion really necessary from the old man?
Merely spirit-grade,
In today's Chu family,
They didn't even rank,
So he planned to replace their physiques.
"This... physiques can be extracted and replaced?"
Chu Jingyue was astonished.
"When your strength reaches my level, you'll be able to do it too!"
"Ah, may I ask Beast God, how long would it take me to cultivate to your level?"
"Not too long - just about a million years!"
"A million years?"
Chu Jingyue's eyes widened,
Nearly biting his tongue.
That timeframe was simply too distant for him!
"What? Starting to waver?"
Long Yuan smiled,
This was why he hadn't wanted to elaborate when Chu Tianyang asked about realms beyond Emperor-tier.
Saying too much,
Could sometimes genuinely shake one's resolve.
After all, a million years was truly an unimaginable span for them!
"Well... just a little!"
Chu Jingyue sighed.
The key was that a million years was downright terrifying!
Even a Martial Emperor's lifespan was less than a hundred thousand years!
But he was curious - how had Beast God broken through so quickly?
He remembered when Beast God first appeared to the Chu family, he was only a fourth-tier demon sect member!
"Actually, there's nothing to fear!"
"No matter how long the road, taking it step by step will eventually reach the end!"
"You needn't consider how long it will take, nor worry about where the destination lies. Just plant your feet firmly and remain resolute - perhaps before you know it, you'll have already arrived!"
Long Yuan said with a smile.
Chu Jingyue nodded,
With Beast God leading the Chu family, there was indeed no need to focus on the destination - just diligently cultivate and develop the family.
Before long,
Long Yuan extracted the three's physique origins,
Though the process was painful,
It wasn't life-threatening.
Then came the fusion,
With a wave of his hand,
He took out three physique origins from the Heart Refining Pagoda.
