During the last 2 months I had spent some time cultivating, spending time with my harem and naturally cultivating my spells. Sadly, 2 months wasn't that long and since I now could focus on my children I needed to figure out a way to step into the Immortal Cultivation world.
It has been nearly 1 year and 7 months since I opened my eyes in this world. Although my cultivation couldn't be compared to other reincarnators or transmigrators. I did feel like I had made considerable progress. Sadly, because I had low comprehension I remained stuck at the [Proficent 99/100] on various of my spells.
I never expected for a bottleneck to appear within my spells. Thankfully, I wasn't so headstrong as to continue to focus on one of them and thus I was able to speed run my other spells to the Peak of the Proficient stage. Then I focused on the jade slips that I gained.
Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Spirirual Plant Master and Talisman Master inheritances. Amongst them the highest was the Alchemy and Talisman inheritances. Sadly, I didn't have a Alchemy cauldron and couldn't practice it. Nor did I have a talisman brush.
The only thing I could check out was the low grade spirirual plant inheritance.
In the end I realized that I had no talent for the Hundred Cultivation Arts and decided to not try them. Except for Artifact Refining since I did have some foundation being a [Refining Assistant] profession.
What I did love amongst the magical artifacts and what I chose to belong to me was the Flying Boat, High grade magical artifact!
Glancing at it once again I couldn't help but sigh at the fact that without killing one couldn't obtain treasures.
"Hmm, still staring at the flying boat? If I didn't know better I would have gotten jealous" Artoria stated easily as she glanced up from her diligent studies. Ever since she found the Alchemy inheritance, being a Metal/Wood/Earth cultivator and having a High grade Fire spirirual body.
She naturally realized that she had some natural talent for Alchemy. Because of this she studied the Alchemy jade slip whenever possible since sooner or later she knew that I would lead them into the cultivation world.
"Hahaha, you have to understand for this magical artifact even some Late Stage Qi Refinement cultivators or even some loose cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm wouldn't be able to afford it." Naturally I had taken a visit to the nearest cultivation marketplace to scout out the situation. From some intelligence I was able to find out that there existed 3 Foundation Establishment families.
None had ties to any large sect since this cultivation city was build near the mortal world. Because of this I felt more confident in finding a home for the Ma family. After all, I needed to cultivate a foundation and spread my seed before expanding the family territory.
"Of course, with this magical artifact we can take everyone and leave the mortal world. The Immortal City I visited only has 3 Foundation Establishment realm cultivators. With us immortal Dao companions joining forces even a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator shouldn't be much of a problem" I stated confidently, with my new traits and Twilight Healing sacred gear.
Unless the other pereon could instantly destroy or kill me. I should have the strength to block and heal myself again while quickly attacking. With Artoria being the main attacker and me being the tank...
Even a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator would fall. Once I achieved [Balance Breaker] I should have an easier time battling across realms.
Artoria hummed in agreement and then threw the jade slip onto the bed.
"Hug me"
And with that a few hours of my time vanished as I allowed Artoria to snuggle up against my body while she slept. Honestly, everything about this felt like a dream but I knew it was real. Closing my eyes I decided that today wasn't a day for progress.
With my army of martial artists nearby guarding my home, even a cultivator would have to be careful otherwise by the time he killed a few I would have already awakened.
And comparing a Cultivator to a Martial artist was laughable. But, this was the mortal world. And cultivators within this world were incredibly weak. Having no legacy, spells or techniques powerful enough to utilize their Spiritual Qi that was a higher level then Martial arts Qi and Blood.
A group of trained and prepared martial artists could kill a weak Early stage Loose cultivator. Much less with my divine weapons helping them out.
Inferior Half-step magical artifacts could be considered divine weapons for martial artists.

"Fatty, make sure to talk to the royal family and tell them that were leaving within a few months. If they want me to take some of their bloodline when I leave then they have to prepare. Either find spiritual items, become servants to my Ma family or add to my harem." I stated causally as I tapped my storage bag and brought out a palm sized flying boat.
Throwing it into the air I jumped upwards and landed on the rapidly expanding flying boat. The high grade magical artifact then flew away from the town.
Fatty watched the flying boat leave and he couldn't help but feel envy.
Times have changed and he was grateful that he obtained the chance to make contact with the great immortal. Even in the Immortal Masters harem his daughter's had the chance to cultivate and gave birth to 3 beautiful children.
Unlike many other families who hesitated, he already sold off his wealth and firmly decided to follow this Immortal Master. Becoming a servant and having the chance for his family to become a Cultivation Family in the future...
It was something he greatly desired. After all, even Innate martial artists turn to bones. Only by following this newly rising Immortal Master could his family rise up. Maybe in the future his descendants would praise his thinking.
Immortals...
"Hahaha!" Just thinking about it caused him to burst out into laughter. He also decided to take a few maids with him. Although he did have some children, the family that would follow would purely be from his Liang bloodline.
And for that he needed more women.

Sitting down in the flying boat I couldn't help but sigh. Even though this was the mortal world with thin spirirual energy. The inscriptions and formations drawn on the magical artifact allowed it to gather the energy of heaven and earth. And with some of my own Spiritual Qi, the flying boat could fly at a relatively fast pace.
But because I didn't have much spirirual qi the speed was relatively slow to what it could achieve at top speed. And this was because my own recovery was enhanced via my trait [Gentle Ancestor Breath].
Cultivating silently as I felt the flying boat slowly reach my mountain home. I couldn't help but think about what my next plans would be. Given how there were only 3 Foundation Establishment families. One of them had to be weak right?
Ambushing and killing them would be easy but this was also a 'righteous' cultivation world. Unless my cultivation reached a higher stage and I could fight above my realm without Artoria's help...
Then we needed to keep a low profile for now and then as the children grew up, then my Ma family would be suitable to be out in the light. Until then, with limited cultivators and strength. I needed a quiet place to develop for now and then with thunder-like means I would establish Artoria's reputation.
With someone capable of battling and killing a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Not many would covet the sectet of the Ma family. With enough strength I could do quite a lot of things. And with enough strength I wouldn't need to show my face too much. The secrets I had would cause any cultivator to get mad with envy.
Even some powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul realm old monsters would probably search through my soul. Destroy my spirit and torture the information out of me.
Righteous and Demonic cultivators would sacrifice alot just to get more power. Because with more power cane more lifespan.
Cultivation was an act for Immortality. Why else would those old monsters desperately want to stay alive.
====
Everything was ready. The first step was to go the Immortal City and find a chicken to kill.
Like the saying went. Slaughter the chicken to warn the monkey's. And from the intelligence gathered, there was an old Foundation Establishment realm cultivator in one of the 3 Foundation Establishment families. His strength was average it was just that he held 2 low grade spiritual artifacts. Otherwise with the other families having 1 or 2 young or older cultivators at the same realm.
That family would have long since been destroyed. And it was also one of the one's with the most internal issues.
"So...I will be bait" Artoria said with a sigh even though just a few hours ago she had sucked the life out of me. I laid on the bed tired and with my muscles being a bit sore.
"Yeah, I mean. I heard that the Yu young master is a pervert who has done quite a few horrible acts throughout the years. Plus, his strength is relatively strong. He's just an idiot who can be used to warn the other's once his Old Ancestor decides to confront us" I rubbed her thigh and smiled, "With the two of us even that old Ancestor can't do much" And with that Artoria nodded.
Plus, I did have a waifu storage option so if things did get out of control I could self-destruct my gauntlets and flee. Recalling Artoria and leaving this city...
The world was a vast place. And I can't believe that a Family Foundation Establishment realm cultivator could defeat us. Which was pretty arrogant since I was relying on my powerful spirirual qi recovery, my gauntlets and other gains from the gacha.
Hopefully my sacred gear could awaken some type of battle effects once it transforms into a [Balance Breaker].
