Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

After briefly experimenting to understand and adapt to the changes from his increased Power, Xu Lei left the Cultivation Room.

One had to balance work and rest, after all.

So, Xu Lei headed down the mountain.

Besides wanting to treat himself to a feast, he also wanted to see if the Zhao Family had found any trace of the Enchantresses.

However, he saw no signal light hanging above the Zhao Family’s restaurant.

Xu Lei gently shook his head.

’It’s not like they’d be found right after my Power increased.

No matter. I’ve already waited so many years. I can keep waiting.

These Demons are naturally longer-lived than humans.

Ten years is a fairly long time for a human.

But for a Demon, it’s not that long at all.

It’s possible they’ve been in the Eastern Wilderness Marsh all these years.

They shouldn’t have been killed off by other Demons, right?

A dozen or so Enchantresses working together, and living there long-term, must mean the place is well-suited for their survival.

Their combat strength might even be amplified there.’

With these thoughts in mind,

Xu Lei went to a restaurant and ordered a large spread of dishes.

Then he devoured it all.

After all, with his Phoenix True Flame, his digestive abilities were quite strong.

Once he finished eating, Xu Lei headed back up the mountain.

As he was leaving, he glanced at the Zhao Family’s restaurant again.

Still no signal light.

’Looks like I can only rely on the slow passage of time and continue my Cultivation,’ Xu Lei murmured to himself.

He then returned directly to the temple to resume his Cultivation.

「Another year passed in the blink of an eye.」

After another year of Cultivation,

the Magical Power within Xu Lei’s body was finally brimming.

Although he had previously reached this Realm,

the space inside the Bodhisattva Fruit on his Bodhisattva Tree was still empty.

He had yet to store any Magical Power within it.

But now, it was full.

This was because after forming the Bodhisattva Fruit,

his efficiency at refining Spiritual Qi into Magical Power had also increased somewhat.

Just as Xu Lei was preparing to condense his Magical Power to form a second Bodhisattva Fruit,

the unexpected happened.

While taking a break, Xu Lei looked through his Telescope and suddenly saw a signal light hanging outside the Zhao Family’s restaurant down below!

Xu Lei froze.

He immediately rushed down the mountain, using Hui Tan’s face to meet with Young Master Zhao.

After all, if they had found the Enchantresses,

Xu Lei would have to take action.

If he used most of the Magical Power in his Dantian to form a second Bodhisattva Fruit, he wouldn’t have enough left to capture the Enchantresses even if he ran into them.

Furthermore, if he relied solely on his own Magical Power for the constant refinement,

forming a second Bodhisattva Fruit

would likely require multiple attempts.

With his aptitude in this life,

it would probably take him quite a few years to reach Tier Two of the Bodhisattva Fruit Realm.

Along his journey,

Xu Lei had practiced the Bodhisattva Dao.

He had already passed through the following Realms:

Dao Seed Realm,

Dao Origin Realm, Lotus Embryo Realm, Lotus Platform Realm,

Bodhisattva Realm, Lotus Leaf Realm, Bodhisattva Tree Realm.

And now, he had reached the Bodhisattva Fruit Realm.

Among these eight Realms,

the First Realm was considered complete as long as a Cultivator passed on a Dao Seed to you.

Therefore, this Realm was merely a collective term for those who had just received a Dao Seed.

It couldn’t be considered a true Realm at all.

From the second Realm onward,

did the true Cultivation Realms begin.

But the three Realms from two to four were just for laying the foundation.

It was merely crossing the threshold of Cultivation,

transforming from a mortal into a Cultivator.

This was because it wasn’t until the Lotus Embryo Realm, when one formed a Lotus Embryo, that the effect of slowing aging began.

In other words, reaching the Lotus Embryo Realm was when you truly started to reap the longevity benefits of being a Cultivator!

At this point, one had achieved preliminary results.

Your lifespan increased, though not by much,

only about ten years.

Next, one would cultivate the Lotus Embryo into a Lotus Platform.

Only then was the foundation truly laid.

These three Realms were known as the Preliminary Three Realms in the Bodhisattva Dao.

Because they were just for laying the foundation,

they weren’t even considered part of the Lower Three Realms!

The Bodhisattva, Lotus Leaf, and Bodhisattva Tree Realms—these three were what were truly called the Lower Three Realms!

Most Cultivators had to reach the final realm of the Lower Three Realms, the Bodhisattva Tree Realm, before they could have children.

Ambitious ones would even delay it further.

The later one had children, thus delaying the toll on one’s own body, the more likely one was to advance in Cultivation.

Of course, by the time an average Cultivator reached this Realm, they were already quite old.

Most Female Cultivators would begin preparing to have children upon reaching this Realm,

fearing they would become too old to bear children later on.

Some male Cultivators, however, would delay for a few more years.

After all, men could still father children at an older age.

Back when Xu Lei had his child,

he hadn’t even reached the Bodhisattva Tree Realm.

However, that was because Xu Lei had obtained the Phoenix True Flame.

Otherwise, he also would have had to reach this Realm before he could procreate.

Looking back, Xu Lei was already fifty-one years old when he reached this Realm.

And that was with the help of several Demon Essence Cores he had obtained for his Cultivation.

Without them, it might have taken Xu Lei until he was around sixty to reach this Realm.

This was also because Xu Lei’s aptitude was somewhat poor.

For those with better aptitude,

they could probably reach this Realm around the age of fifty through diligence, even without resources like Inner Cores.

As for geniuses, they would certainly cultivate even faster.

This was also the reason why Zhi Jian had to give up his Cultivation for love back then.

Because if he continued to cultivate at a normal pace,

he would have had to wait until he was around fifty to have children.

Even if he could manage it a few years earlier,

he’d still be in his forties.

By that time, the woman from the Shen Family would have already grown old.

After all, the setting was a feudal, ancient society with underdeveloped medical care.

Many mortals even died in their thirties.

In the history of ancient Earth, the average lifespan of people wasn’t as high as it is for modern people.

And the Bodhisattva Fruit Realm that Xu Lei had now reached was merely the First Realm of the Middle Three Realms.

After passing through the Middle Three Realms, he would still have to cross the Upper Three Realms.
