I've announced that I'm destined to have many children, and my father has bestowed upon me

That destructive force rampaged through Zhao Chen'an's meridians, yet strangely, it did not cause any substantial damage.

It was merely asserting its existence, domineering and violent.

Zhao Chen'an's body stiffened for a moment, but his mind sank into his body in an instant.

This is... the Heavenly Thunder!

I could feel the purest and most primordial energy of heaven and earth contained within it.

Zhao Chen'an was taken aback, then realized that this should be the Heaven and Earth Spirit Lightning he had obtained in the Demon Subduing Tower.

When Zhao Xiao was born, it was drawn by the divine lightning of the Nine Heavens and automatically recognized Zhao Xiao as its master, entering his body.

Why are you here again?

[Ding! Detected a Yellow-grade Heavenly Spiritual Item—Body Tempering Spiritual Lightning!]

[This spirit creature's body-tempering abilities are unsuitable for infants, therefore it has been actively transferred!]

[The host's constitution is that of the Great Dao of Returning to the Origin, encompassing all things and perfectly able to accommodate this spiritual object without any risk of rejection!]

System notifications rang in my mind one after another.

Zhao Chen'an's heart skipped a beat, and he was instantly overwhelmed with joy.

It really was that Heavenly Spirit Lightning!

This kind of violent thunder spirit creature, without a special physique or a cultivation level above the Dragon Transformation Realm, will only result in its body exploding and death if forcibly absorbed!

And now, this body-tempering spiritual lightning is staying peacefully in his body.

He could clearly feel that his physical body was being nourished and tempered by this thunderous power in an extremely slow but firm way.

Every inch of bone and every drop of blood is undergoing a subtle transformation.

This is like a windfall!

Zhao Chen'an looked down at Xiao Jiu, who was sleeping soundly with her little mouth smacking in her arms, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

The father possesses the body of an immortal, while the son possesses the body of a Daoist.

This little guy not only freed me from being a useless person at birth, but now he's given me such a great gift.

She's such a lucky star!

He couldn't resist leaning down and giving Zhao Xiao's rosy cheeks a big kiss.

"My dear son!"

However, the next moment.

A warm liquid suddenly soaked through his clothes.

Zhao Chen'an froze.

He looked down and saw a water stain rapidly expanding on his royal robe, carrying a unique, foul odor.

Little Zhao Xiao seemed to have been woken up. He kicked his little legs, grinned with his toothless little mouth, yawned contentedly, and then fell asleep again.

Zhao Chen'an was both amused and exasperated.

Well, kid, your greeting gift is a puddle of boy's urine, huh?

He carefully carried the child back to Wulanxue on the bed and tucked her in.

"Xue'er, you get some rest. I'm going out for a bit."

Ulanxue had just given birth and was very weak. She simply nodded gently and focused all her attention on the baby beside her.

"Husband, why are you out here?"

Xiao Chuchu asked with concern.

"Look here."

Zhao Chen'an smiled, then pointed to the wet patch on his chest and said helplessly, "I just got a piss on by my son."

The three women were taken aback at first, then couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.

"It seems that Xiao Jiu really likes her husband."

Even Liu Ruoshuang's usually aloof face was tinged with a rare smile.

"Alright, you all go and keep an eye on things. I need to go to the palace."

Zhao Chen'an waved his hand.

"Going to the palace so late?"

Li Qingluan was somewhat surprised.

"This is such a joyous occasion, of course I must tell Father Emperor immediately."

An irrepressible surge of excitement welled up on Zhao Chen'an's face.

It wasn't just the birth of Zhao Xiao.

More importantly, it was his own turn to finally be able to cultivate!

He had to tell this to his father, who had worried so much about him, in person!

Moreover, there has to be an explanation for my sudden ability to cultivate.

The immortals in dreams are also known as the so-called ancient great beings.

Currently, only Zhao Daoting knows about this, but his sudden ability to cultivate will definitely arouse suspicion from the outside world.

Therefore, he also needed to discuss the official reasons with Zhao Daoting as soon as possible.

This body-tempering spiritual lightning is the best explanation!

To the outside world, it was said that Zhao Xiao absorbed the spiritual lightning of heaven and earth at birth, which unintentionally entered his body.

By sheer chance, his previously hidden special physique was activated!

The Great Dao Body of Returning to the Origin!

That's why I was able to begin cultivating!

It's perfectly reasonable and flawless!

Thinking of this, Zhao Chen'an was even more eager to return home.

He changed into clean clothes and quickly headed to the palace.

……

The Imperial City, the Imperial Study.

Zhao Daoting was still in a state of extreme excitement, pacing back and forth in the hall, muttering to himself.

"Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Body... Excellent, wonderful..."

"My grandson is destined to be an emperor!"

He had already decided that once the child was a month old, he would announce to the world a three-day amnesty!

He wanted everyone to know that his grandson, Zhao Daoting's grandson, was a prodigy destined by heaven!

Just then, a high-pitched voice of a young eunuch came from outside the hall to report.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Prince of Wei requests an audience!"

Zhao Daoting was taken aback.

Guessing that Zhao Chen'an had come to tell him the good news, he quickly said:

"Quick! Let him in!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhao Chen'an rushed in like a gust of wind, his face beaming with barely suppressed elation.

"Father! Great news! This is an incredibly joyous occasion!"

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Daoting immediately laughed and scolded:

"You brat, you're already so immature after just becoming a father! What kind of behavior is this!"

"I already know. So what if you had a boy? Look how happy you are."

Although he said that, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Father, that's not all!"

Zhao Chen'an rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"Oh?" Zhao Daoting's interest was piqued. "What other joyous occasion could be greater than the addition of a son to the Zhao family?"

Zhao Chen'an took a deep breath. Instead of speaking directly, he stretched out a hand and slowly opened it.

hum!

A faint but incredibly pure wisp of divine power gathered in his palm, transforming into a tiny, slowly rotating vortex.

The air in the Imperial Study seemed to freeze at that moment.

The smile on Zhao Daoting's face froze instantly.

He stared intently at the vortex in Zhao Chen'an's palm, completely motionless as if struck by lightning.

What is that?

That's... spiritual power!

How is that possible!

His son, the son who was destined to never escape the sea of ​​suffering...

Looking at Zhao Daoting's shocked expression, Zhao Chen'an felt a surge of warmth and bittersweetness in his heart.

He stepped forward, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"Father."

"Your subject may now begin cultivating!"

boom!

Even Emperor Zhao Daoting felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing these words!

He suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhao Chen'an's wrist with such force that he almost crushed Zhao Chen'an's bones.

A surge of powerful dragon energy rushed from his palm into Zhao Chen'an's body, violently probing his limbs and bones.

The next moment, Zhao Daoting trembled violently, his body shaking uncontrollably.

it is true!

Spiritual energy has indeed begun to enter Zhao Chen'an's body!

"Great, that's wonderful, that's fantastic!"

Zhao Daoting's voice was extremely hoarse. He let go of his hand, staggered back two steps, and looked at his son with an expression as if he were looking at a monster.

"How did they do that? Was it...that person's doing?"

Zhao Chen'an grinned and shook his head, denying the speculation that his special physique came from an ancient powerful being.

He presented the prepared remarks.

"Father, it's Xiao Jiu!"

"Your subject will name him Zhao Xiao, with the nickname Xiao Jiu."

"The divine lightning descended from the heavens, not only forging Xiao Jiu's Divine Lightning Body, but one of its primordial spiritual lightning bolts unexpectedly entered my body!"

"It was this body-tempering spiritual lightning that activated the previously dormant immortal body within my body!"

As Zhao Chen'an spoke, he activated the wisp of body-tempering spiritual lightning within his body.

"Sizzle!"

A barely perceptible arc of purple electricity flashed and disappeared from his fingertips.

The pure and domineering aura of thunder made Zhao Daoting, a powerful cultivator at the Dragon Transformation Realm, feel a chill run down his spine.

It turned out to be the Heavenly Thunder!

Zhao Daoting was taken aback at first, then squinted and looked at it for a few seconds.

It seemed they had guessed something, but didn't say it outright.

Immediately, a surge of joy a hundred times stronger than when he learned of the birth of the emperor's grandson overwhelmed all his reason!

His imperial dignity and composure vanished at that moment!

"Haha...hahahaha!"

Zhao Daoting laughed wildly, his laughter even carrying a hint of sobbing, which made the entire imperial study buzz.

"Okay! Okay!"

He grabbed Zhao Chen'an and hugged him tightly, patting his back forcefully.

"My son, my good son!"

"You are not a piece of trash! You have never been a piece of trash! You are the chosen one! You are the greatest pride of the Zhao family!"
