I, the Villain, Become Invincible the More Descendants I Have

Chapter 31 Late Nascent Soul StageOutside the delivery room in the backyard of the Cao family residence, Emperor Cao Xukun had already paced such a deep groove into the floor tiles that he had worn through eight of them.

With his hands in his pockets, he spun around in circles like a wound-up top, muttering to himself, ”Ancestors preserve us, Su Wanqing and the baby must be safe! If you dare let Su Wanqing suffer even the slightest bit, I’ll tear down this dilapidated ancestral home and turn it into a latrine!”

”Young Clan Leader, please, take a rest!” Li Tieniu leaned against the wall with a look of existential despair. ”You’ve been spinning for six hours now. If you keep going, I’m going to get dizzy and throw up! This is even more exhausting than the last battle against the Heavenly Dao Alliance!”

”What the hell do you know!” Emperor Cao Xukun rolled his eyes at him. ”This is my second son, and he has Golden Luck! I’m more nervous right now than when checking college entrance exam scores, and more panicked than Young Master Xiao Chen was when his mother was kidnapped! What if the baby grows up to look like me?”

”Isn’t it a good thing if he looks like you? You’re so handsome!”

”Handsome, yes, but I’m afraid he’ll have too much peach blossom luck just like me. Being chased by young girls every single day is just annoying!” Emperor Cao Xukun sighed, looking utterly humble-bragging.

Beside him, Imperial Concubine Xiao Ya rolled her eyes dramatically. ”Stop fishing for compliments while you’ve already gotten the best of it. Is that any way for a father to act?”

Empress Liu Ruyan smiled and handed him a cup of tea. ”Don’t worry. Su Wanqing has a good constitution; she’ll definitely be fine. Look at Crown Prince Cao Hao; even he is calmer than you.”

Crown Prince Cao Hao, who was over a year old, was sitting cross-legged on a stone table, resting his cheek on his small hand. He stared intently at the delivery room with a serious expression, faint spiritual energy fluctuations swirling around his body—the little guy was already at the ninth level of Qi Refining, stronger than half of the outer sect disciples in the Cao family.

”Waa—!” Suddenly, a loud cry from a newborn infant pierced the sky!

Immediately after, a dazzling pillar of golden light shot up from the delivery room, piercing straight into the clouds. The entire Central Province City was coated in a layer of golden light. Phantom images of dragons and phoenixes circled in the sky, a hundred birds chirped in unison, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth flooded frantically toward the Cao family residence.

”It’s born! It’s born!” The midwife ran out carrying a small baby wrapped in golden cloth, her face full of joy. ”Congratulations, Young Clan Leader! It’s a big, healthy baby boy! Both mother and child are safe!”

Emperor Cao Xukun froze in place instantly, his ears pricked up like a rabbit’s, forgetting even to breathe. The next second, he let out a shout and rushed over, carefully taking the baby into his arms.

The little guy had his eyes closed, his small mouth opening and closing. His skin was as white as snow, and his features were identical to Su Wanqing’s, yet he carried an innate air of nobility. He was surrounded by rich Golden Luck, even purer than Empress Liu Ruyan’s.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have birthed an heir with Golden Luck!]

[Heir Name: Awaiting Naming]

[Heir Luck: Golden!]

[Innate Talent: Top-tier! Born with a Golden Core Dao Foundation!]

[Reward Obtained: 10,000 System Points, Heir’s Feedback Cultivation +1 Major Realm!]

[Host’s Current Cultivation: Late Nascent Soul Stage!]

A power capable of destroying heaven and earth erupted instantly from his dantian. Emperor Cao Xukun’s cultivation soared directly from the mid-Nascent Soul Stage to the peak of the Late Nascent Soul Stage! Even the surrounding spiritual energy trembled three times in response.

”Holy crap! Another breakthrough?!” Emperor Cao Xukun was so excited he almost dropped the baby. ”Golden Luck is just awesome! The feedback is a whole major realm! I leveled up without even taking any pills; this is the pinnacle of winning by doing nothing!”

”Let’s call him Cao Xuan.” He looked at the little guy in his arms and said earnestly, ”’Xuan’ signifies the beginning of heaven and earth. In the future, my son will control the heaven and earth, and rule over thousands of worlds!”

[Ding! Heir naming successful: Cao Xuan]

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Xuan suddenly opened his eyes. His dark, round pupils rolled around, and then he reached out his little hand and grabbed Emperor Cao Xukun’s finger. A stream of pure golden spiritual energy flowed through the finger into Emperor Cao Xukun’s body, further stabilizing his cultivation.

”What the f*ck! He can already channel spiritual energy right after birth?” Li Tieniu’s jaw dropped in shock. ”It took me twenty years of cultivation to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, and your second young master is born with a Golden Core Dao Foundation? How is anyone else supposed to live!”

”That’s a given.” Emperor Cao Xukun lifted his chin triumphantly and poked Cao Xuan’s little cheek. ”Don’t look at who his father is. My son, Emperor Cao Xukun’s son, must be the king of overachievers! While others are still drinking milk after birth, my son is already preparing to charge toward the Golden Core!”

Crown Prince Cao Hao also leaned over, tiptoed, and patted Cao Xuan’s head. Then, with a wave of his small hand, a ball of spiritual energy gently tapped against Cao Xuan’s swaddling clothes. Cao Xuan giggled and also waved a small golden spiritual energy ball, which collided with his brother’s, bursting into a beautiful little spark.

”See that? The brothers are already sparring!” Emperor Cao Xukun couldn’t stop grinning. ”In the future, Crown Prince Cao Hao will be the big brother, leading Cao Xuan to dominate the world!”

Half a month later, the Cao family held a grand full-month celebration.

The entire Central Province City was in an uproar.

An heir with Golden Luck! This was a legendary existence; he was destined to become a Great Emperor in the future! Who wouldn’t want to suck up to them?

Before dawn, a long line had already formed at the Cao family’s main gate. Seventy percent of the sects and clans in the Central Province had arrived, each carrying generous gifts, squeezing and shoving to get inside.

”Move, move, move! I’m from the Qingyun Sect! Our Sect Master arrived three days in advance!”

”Get lost! Our Heavenly Blade Sect has been guarding this spot since last night!”

”Stop arguing! My daughter was born on the same day as the second young master of the Cao family; I’m here to arrange a betrothal!”

Emperor Cao Xukun sat in the main seat, looking at the mountain of gifts piled up in the courtyard, his smile stretching from ear to ear.

”Oh, Sect Master Wang, just coming is enough; why bring a thousand-year ginseng? You’re too polite.”

”Clan Leader Li, your daughter is truly adorable. Alright, I’ll note down the betrothal; when Cao Xuan grows up, he can choose for himself.”

”Elder Zhang, this high-grade magic artifact of yours is quite good; I’ll accept it on Cao Xuan’s behalf.”

The factions that used to look down on Emperor Cao Xukun were now all bowing and scraping, behaving more obediently than grandsons.

”Young Clan Leader, from now on, our Qingyun Sect will follow your lead! Wherever you point, we will strike!”

”Our Heavenly Blade Sect as well! From now on, the Cao family’s affairs are our affairs!”

”Anyone who dares to oppose the Young Clan Leader is opposing the entire Central Province!”

Li Tieniu was keeping the accounts nearby, his hand aching from writing. ”Young Clan Leader, just in this one morning, we’ve received five hundred thousand taels of silver, three hundred bottles of Foundation Establishment Pills, and over twenty high-grade magic artifacts! Our treasury is almost full!”

”Small scene,” Emperor Cao Xukun waved his hand and took a sip of wine. ”This is just the beginning. When I become the Master of Heaven and Earth, all the treasures in the world will be mine.”

He looked down at Cao Xuan, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and then at Crown Prince Cao Hao, who was playing with Lin Yueer nearby, feeling wonderful inside.

Two sons, one with Blue Luck and one with Golden Luck; their cultivation feedback was like riding a rocket. In a few more months, Consort Su Qingyue and the others’ children would also be born.

By then, not to mention the Nascent Soul Stage, even the Spirit Severing Stage or Void Refinement Stage would be just around the corner.
