My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 562: The System Upgrades to the Strongest Cultivation System

Ye Shuhua, standing to the side, was filled with excitement. She tugged at Zhang Lei's arm and asked sweetly, "Honey, can we cultivate in the future? What should I cultivate?"

Seeing her excited expression, Zhang Lei chuckled and teased her, "What do you want to cultivate?"

"Of course it's drawing!" Ye Shuhua answered without hesitation.

"Then you should pursue your spiritual path through painting and dedicate yourself to its cultivation."

Ye Shuhua's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Really? Is that possible?"

Zhang Lei smiled and shook his head: "I don't know if it will work."

Ye Shuhua then realized she'd been teased and angrily pounced on Zhang Lei. Zhang Lei pulled her into his arms and kissed her, making her blush deeply. She buried her face in his chest, refusing to look up. Ye Shuqin and Ye Shuqi exchanged a knowing smile, watching the two with a mixture of helplessness and indulgence. Ye Shuhua was innocent and carefree, like a child who never grew up, while Zhang Lei had always doted on her; this was the norm among the three of them.

The waiting time was exceptionally long. During those twelve hours, Zhang Lei sat with the three women, changing teacups one after another, and drank a total of twelve cups of tea.

Finally, as the twelve-hour deadline arrived, a crisp system notification sounded in Zhang Lei's mind. His heart tightened, and he quickly communicated in his mind, "System, is the upgrade complete?"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, system upgrade complete!]

[Ding! The current system has been officially upgraded to—the strongest cultivation system!]

Hearing that familiar notification sound, Zhang Lei was overjoyed and couldn't help but shout in his mind, "Great! I finally leveled up successfully!"

Once the system upgrade was complete, Zhang Lei immediately led Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua into his personal space.

The moment you step into the space, the scene before you is completely transformed. Lush and vibrant rare spiritual plants can be seen everywhere. The ordinary spring water in the space has turned into gurgling spiritual water, and the air is filled with rich and pure spiritual energy, which makes you feel refreshed when you breathe it in.

As soon as Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua took a few breaths of spiritual energy, they all exclaimed softly in unison. They felt their muscles and bones being nourished by the spiritual energy, and their limbs and bones felt incredibly light. They felt as light as swallows and their whole bodies were filled with a refreshing and comfortable feeling.

Only Zhang Lei frowned slightly. He was also breathing in the rich spiritual energy, and his body and mind were indeed extremely comfortable, but the feeling in his body was not much different from before, and there was no strange feeling of being reborn.

He immediately communicated with the system in his mind: "System, come out quickly and introduce yourself to me properly."

[Ding! This system is the strongest cultivation system. Its core purpose is to help the host become the strongest cultivator in all the heavens and myriad realms.]

Zhang Lei quickly asked, "System, what should I do now? How can I become stronger quickly?"

[Ding! The host's primary task is to establish a sect. All cultivation gains from the disciples within the sect can be doubled and fed back to the host.]

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei froze on the spot, taking a few seconds to process what he was saying. His tone was full of disbelief: "You mean, after I establish a sect, the faster the sect disciples cultivate and the higher their cultivation levels, the more my cultivation level will increase?"

[Ding! The host's understanding is completely correct.]

Upon receiving the answer, Zhang Lei was overjoyed, his anticipation instantly reaching its peak. He eagerly asked, "System, what are the different realms in the complete cultivation system? Tell me quickly!"

[Ding! The currently unlocked complete cultivation realm system is as follows: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Mahayana, Tribulation Crossing.]

Upon learning the complete cultivation realm division, Zhang Lei was overjoyed and impatiently urged, "System, hurry! Quickly give me a few invincible top-tier cultivation techniques, along with a batch of high-grade pills and rare spiritual herbs. I want to start cultivating right now!"

[Ding! Host, please refrain from daydreaming.]

The sudden reply was like a bucket of cold water poured on Zhang Lei. He was stunned and asked in bewilderment, "System, aren't you the strongest cultivation system? You can't even give me this basic stuff?"

[Ding! The host can obtain corresponding rewards by creating a sect and completing tasks assigned by the system. This system does not support unearned gains.]

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei was inevitably somewhat disappointed, but upon further reflection, he found the setup exceptionally appealing. He could be a sect leader who did nothing, while a group of exceptionally talented disciples diligently cultivated, allowing him to effortlessly increase his cultivation level—it was practically a windfall.

After calming himself down, he asked again, "System, do I have nothing right now?"

[Ding! System upgrade complete. Host will receive an exclusive upgrade gift pack. Open now?]

"Open it! Open it right now!" Zhang Lei replied without hesitation.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the cultivation technique: Devouring Heaven Demon Art.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the cultivation technique: Taiyin True Scripture.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the sword technique: Lesser Yin Sword Technique.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the cultivation technique: The Yin-Severing Longevity Technique.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the supreme treasure: Taiyin Cold Moon Pearl.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the magical artifact: Frost Soul Sword.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the magical artifact: Nightmare Bell.]

After a series of reward announcements, Zhang Lei looked at the pile of items in the list, somewhat surprised, and then frowned: "System, these things you gave me don't look like they were specially prepared for me, do they?"

[Ding! The system has detected a person with a Yin constitution near the host.]

Zhang Lei instantly looked at the three women beside him—Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua—and suddenly realized, quickly confirming, "System, these three are the ones you mentioned with the Three Yin Physique?"

[Ding! Absolutely correct. The three sisters are of the Taiyin, Shaoyin, and Jueyin constitutions, respectively.]

Zhang Lei instantly realized that this damn system had clearly prepared most of the treasures from the gift pack for the three sisters, and he immediately complained irritably, "So all I got was the Devouring Heaven Demon Art?"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you answered correctly.]

Zhang Lei mentally glared at the system and said irritably, "System, explain yourself right now! Why do I only have one copy of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art?"

[Ding! The host's spiritual root has been detected as a mixed root of the five elements, without any special bloodline or physique. Only the Devouring Heaven Demon Art can be compatible with the host and help them cultivate to its peak.]

Upon learning that he possessed the lowest-ranking mixed spiritual root of the five elements in the cultivation world, Zhang Lei's mentality collapsed on the spot. Undeterred, he pressed on, "System, I'm a transmigrator, after all. Don't I have any hidden special bloodline? Even demon bloodline would be fine!"

[Ding! The demon bloodline is a noble bloodline, while the host only has the bloodline of an ordinary mortal, without any special bonuses.]

Looking at his three beautiful and exceptionally talented wives beside him, and then at his own ordinary bloodline and mixed spiritual roots, Zhang Lei felt a huge sense of disappointment and couldn't help but sigh. Good heavens, all three of his wives possessed top-tier physiques, while he was utterly ordinary—a veritable reverse selection by fate.

He looked at the three sisters again, clinging to his last glimmer of hope, and asked, "System, their spiritual roots aren't like mine—mixed five-elemental spiritual roots, are they?"

[Ding! Ye Shuqin: Mutated Ice Spiritual Root, Taiyin Body; Ye Shuqi: Mutated Metal Spiritual Root, Shaoyin Body; Ye Shuhua: Mutated Wood Spiritual Root, Jueyin Body. All three possess top-tier spiritual roots and bloodlines in the cultivation world.]

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei could no longer contain himself and roared at the system, "System! Can't you even look at me properly? I'm a transmigrator! Check me again carefully!"

[Ding! Please remain rational, host. Although the mixed five-element spiritual root is the lowest grade of spiritual root, with the slowest cultivation speed and the highest consumption of spiritual materials, if the host can cultivate all five elements to perfection, the five elements can be unified, transforming into a chaotic body.]

"Really?!" Upon hearing the words "Chaotic Body," Zhang Lei's hope was instantly rekindled, and his eyes lit up.

[Ding! Information confirmed.]

Zhang Lei quickly pressed on, "Was there any powerful individual before who cultivated a mixed five-elemental spiritual root into a chaotic body?"

[Ding! There are currently no known successful cases recorded across all realms.]

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei instantly lost interest and no longer wanted to say another word to the system.
