In the vast Azure Cloud Continent, where celestial peaks pierced the heavens and rivers thrummed with spiritual essence, cultivation was the defiance of mortality. Mortals forged their bodies and souls to seize immortality, sects clashed over divine relics, and clans rose through their prodigies.
In the quiet Lin Clan of Verdant Valley, nestled among mist-shrouded hills, eighteen-year-old Lin Feng stood on the edge of a destiny that would blend power, love, and eternity. He was no prodigy, stuck at the third layer of Qi Condensation for years, enduring his peers taunts who called him the "Eternal Turtle" for his extremely slow progress.
His father, Lin Hao, a stern elder, had pinned his hopes on Lin Feng's more talented siblings, leaving the boy with barely enough spirit stones to cultivate, and even those were more for show than substance.
Yet, Lin Feng harbored a quiet resolve, a burning belief that he could rise above his limits and even surpass the people who mocked him.
Three days ago, on the day of his birthday night that belief was finally answered. While meditating in the Spirit Grove, where spiritual herbs grew by absorbing the valley's Qi, a clear voice echoed in his mind.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host your are finally an adult now! The Child of Destiny System has been awakened !
Objective: Forge an immortal lineage to dominate the Azure Cloud Continent and ascend to eternal life. Rewards would come from producing offspring with high potential, but only through deep bonds with your partners the relationships that are built on love, trust, and shared cultivation are the true path of dao. If you follow the sacred path of dao of culture only then would the greatest rewards manifest for you, your family, and the path to immortality shall be your to claim."
Lin Feng nearly suffered a qi deviation from the shock, his eyes wide as a golden screen materialized in front of him, its characters glowing with a divine light. The system's objective was staggering, forge an immortal lineage to dominate the Azure Cloud Continent and ascend to eternal life.
And to do that he'll just have to ..... get laid? Lin Feng's heart raced. Immortality? A lineage? He was just a normal youth scraping by, yet the system offered eternal life for him and those he loved. The screen continued,
Initial Task: Find a compatible partner and form a genuine bond to embark on your immortal path.
Reward: Dual Cultivation Technique (Foundation) + 100 Destiny Points + 1 Immortal Essence Shard.
Destiny Points: Exchangeable for cultivation resources, techniques, or enhancements to strengthen you and your partners.
Immortal Essence Shard: A fragment of divine energy that extends lifespan and paves the way to immortality.
Lin Feng's breath hitched, The Dual Cultivation Technique hinted at intimate moments, a sacred dance of passion and cultivation that would deepen his bonds with his future wives,
This wasn't about conquest—it was about loyalty, love, and a family that would defy the heavens together. "The partner selection ceremony is said to take place today evening, i was about to spend my whole time cultivating but i guess i should go and take a look" Lin feng said while looking out of the window, immersed in his thoughts.
As the sun dipped low, casting golden light over the Lin Clan's ancestral hall, the Partner Selection Ceremony finally started, the surrounding was buzzing with young cultivators pitching alliances through marriages, cultivation partnerships, or friendships.
Disciples in silken robes flaunted their prowess, their auras shimmering with Qi, while Lin Feng stood at the edge, his plain robe marking him as lesser than the exceptional ones. His third-layer cultivation drew smirks from passersbies, but the system's promise of immortality and loyal bonds gave him courage.
"Ding! New Sub-Task: Engage a potential partner in meaningful conversation without making a fool of yourself.
Reward: Charm Enhancing Pill (Temporary) + 50 Destiny Points."
Lin Feng chuckled softly at the system's jab, accepting the task. A jade pill appeared in his palm, its glow warm and inviting. Swallowing it, he felt a newfound confidence which eased his usual awkwardness, though his heart still thumped like a war drum.
His gaze landed on Mei Ling, a branch family girl at the fourth layer of Qi Condensation. She wasn't a prodigy, but her herb cultivation skills were renowned. She could coax rare herbs to bloom where others saw only weeds. Her quiet strength and thoughtful eyes stirred something in Lin Feng's heart, a pull that went beyond the system's task.
He approached her during the mingling phase, nearly knocking over a decorative lantern but catching himself with a sheepish grin. "Mei Ling," he said, his voice steadier than he felt, "I've seen you in the Spirit Garden, nurturing herbs others overlook. It's like you see their potential to become something great. I admire that."
Mei Ling turned, her dark hair catching the lantern light, her eyes studying him with a hint of amusement. "Lin Feng? The Eternal Turtle?" she teased, her lips twitching. "Are you here to talk herbs or just lost?" He grinned, unfazed by the nickname. "Herbs, mostly. But also… I think cultivation's about growth-not just power, but building something lasting. Maybe we could learn from each other?"
She raised an eyebrow, her expression softening. "You're bolder than I expected. Most guys here are all swagger and no substance. Why me?" Lin Feng scratched his neck, the pill's confidence blending with his sincerity. "Because you've got heart and skill. I want a partner to walk the path to immortality with, someone I can trust completely. I think that could be you."
Mei Ling's cheeks flushed, but her gaze held steady. "Pretty words, Turtle. Let's see if you mean them. Meet me at the Spirit Grove tomorrow. Oh, and bring a shovel, not your ego."
"Ding! Sub-Task Complete: You didn't trip over your words!
Reward: Charm Enhancing Pill (Temporary) retained for 24 hours + 50 Destiny Points."
Lin Feng stifled a laugh at the system's quip. Mei Ling's agreement felt like a victory, not just for the system but for the spark he felt. She wasn't a prize—she was a partner he wanted to stand beside, loyal and true.
In his modest courtyard, under a moonlit sky, Lin Feng sat cross-legged, the system screen glowing softly. His 50 Destiny Points were a humble start, but the promise of Immortal Essence Shards and a Dual Cultivation Technique fueled his dreams. He called up the reward details.
"Ding! Here is the list of rewards you'll get based on your children's potential,
Mortal Talent Child: Minor Cultivation Boost (1 Realm Advancement for Host and Partner) + Basic Spirit Herb Seed + 200 Destiny Points + 1 Immortal Essence Shard.
Earth Talent Child: Moderate Cultivation Boost (2 Realm Advancements for Host and Partner) + Earth-Grade Spirit Artifact + Shared Bloodline Enhancement + 500 Destiny Points + 3 Immortal Essence Shards.
Heaven Talent Child: Major Cultivation Boost (3 Realm Advancements for Host and Partner) + Heavenly Spirit Artifact + Dual Cultivation Technique (Advanced) + 1000 Destiny Points + 10 Immortal Essence Shards.
Divine Talent Child: Supreme Cultivation Boost (Foundation Establishment Breakthrough for Host and Partner) + Divine Secret Technique + Bloodline Ascension for Entire Family + 5000 Destiny Points + 50 Immortal Essence Shards.
Note: Rewards are shared with your partner based on love, trust, and loyalty. Child talent depends on your partner's potential, your combined cultivation, and the strength of your bond. Immortal Essence Shards extend lifespan and unlock immortality. Cultivate your heart as fiercely as your dantian!
Lin Feng's pulse quickened. A Heaven Talent child could push him and Mei Ling to the sixth layer, with shards to edge them toward immortality. A Divine Talent child could catapult them to Foundation Establishment, where true longevity began. The system's focus on loyalty ensured his wives would be his unwavering partners, their bonds free of betrayal. Soon the system rang again,
"Ding! Partner Growth Tracker Unlocked: Monitor your partners cultivations, talents, and bond strength to forge an immortal lineage."
Name: Mei Ling's
Cultivation: 4th layer Qi condensation
Talent:Herb mastery
Bond strength: low (growing).
Lin Feng nodded, picturing her skills yielding elixirs to prolong life, a cornerstone for their clan. He imagined their future, moments of closeness guided by the Dual Cultivation Technique, blending passion and cultivation in a loyal, heartfelt union.
Lin Feng rose, gripping his rusty sword, its faint hum reflecting his resolve. The Child of Destiny System was his guide, but immortality was a shared dream—for him, Mei Ling, and the wives who would join them. Each would bring unique strengths to the family and help him in building a clan which will rival the heavens. Their love would be unshakable, a fortress against any storm.
He pictured Mei Ling, her hands nurturing herbs, her teasing smile warm. Their future moments together would be sacred, deepening their bond without crossing into disloyalty. With a grin, he recalled her shovel comment—maybe he'd bring one just to see her laugh.
Under the stars, Lin Feng swung his sword, vowing to rise. Tomorrow, he'd meet Mei Ling, ready to nurture their bond and their path to immortality—one heartfelt step at a time.
