A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 5

Five years swiftly passed, and during this time, under the continuous efforts of Wu Rulong and Xu Qingxue, their first child was finally about to be born.

Outside the delivery room, Wu Rulong paced back and forth anxiously. Although he had already broken through to the Golden Core stage, he still appeared extremely tense and worried at such a moment.

“Look at you, don’t be so nervous. Qingxue is a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment, she’ll be fine.”

Wu Hao, having advanced to the Nascent Soul stage due to Wu Rulong’s breakthrough to the mid-Golden Core stage, also reassured him. Yet, he was not entirely satisfied with his own progress. If one day the bloodline of the family reached ten thousand members, perhaps in just a century, he could break through to the level of a Great Emperor.

Soon enough, a loud, crisp cry of a baby came from the delivery room, and a midwife quickly emerged holding an incredibly cute newborn.

“Congratulations, Master and Young Master, it’s a boy!”

“Is this my child?”

Carefully, Wu Rulong took the baby from the midwife. Looking at the little one who hadn’t yet opened his eyes, he truly felt the weight of his responsibilities growing from that day forward.

Before long, Xu Qingxue, having completed her delivery, came out of the room dressed, although her face was still a bit pale.

Why doesn’t she need postpartum confinement? Are you kidding? How could cultivators need confinement?

“Father, please give my child a name,” Wu Rulong said seriously, looking at Wu Hao, as did Xu Qingxue.

After a moment of contemplation, Wu Hao slowly spoke.

“Since he’s my grandson, let’s name him Wu Qiankun.”

“Qiankun, Qiankun—’Unleashing Heaven and Earth.’ Dad, does this mean you want this child to achieve a mighty state of ‘Unleashing Heaven and Earth’ in the future? It’s a great name,” Wu Rulong murmured, his eyes shining bright.

However, Wu Hao swore that he didn’t put much thought into it; he just wanted to indulge in his quirky sense of humor by giving his grandson a name that sounded like a protagonist’s. Obviously, having a protagonist-like name doesn’t mean one is a protagonist.

When he looked at his grandson earlier, Wu Hao noticed the child’s gift was just a middle-grade Spiritual Root, but it was better than nothing.

“You two need to work harder. I really hope to see our Wu Family grow and flourish soon.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingxue’s face flushed with embarrassment, while Wu Rulong solemnly and earnestly replied, “We’ll make sure to complete the task!”

“Alright, alright, while expanding our Wu Family is important, don’t neglect your cultivation either,” Wu Hao added, as both were his son and daughter-in-law, and he couldn’t bear to see them slack off in their cultivation efforts.

Time passed quickly, and another two years went by. During this period, Wu Rulong and Xu Qingxue continued to work on expanding the Wu Family while not neglecting their cultivation. Consequently, Wu Rulong successfully broke through to the peak of the Golden Core stage, and Xu Qingxue advanced to the Spiritual Sea stage. In addition, she became pregnant again. Her aptitude wasn’t extraordinary—just a Superior Spiritual Root.

After consulting with Wu Hao, the couple decided to name their second child Wu Xuanyuan.

Time flew by, and six years passed in the blink of an eye. During these six years, Wu Rulong and Xu Qingxue had two more children, named Wu Wangu and Wu Qinlong, respectively.

Regarding their cultivation levels, Wu Rulong broke through to the early Nascent Soul stage, and Xu Qingxue successfully reached the initial Golden Core stage. As for the talents of the two grandsons, one had a Superior Spiritual Root, and the other had a lower-grade Spiritual Root.

Wu Hao wasn’t surprised. Even though the fourth grandson Wu Qinlong only had a lower-grade Spiritual Root, Wu Hao wasn’t short on resources. He was confident that, with enough investment, Wu Qinlong could even achieve immortality—an indication of his lavish confidence.

During those six years, Wu Hao’s own cultivation progress wasn’t as fast. After all, only Wu Rulong was cultivating within the Wu Family, so the progress was naturally slow. Therefore, Wu Hao was currently only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

The good news was that from today, his eldest grandson, Wu Qiankun, could begin cultivation. This was a positive development for Wu Hao, as it meant that in ten years’ time, his grandson could marry and have children, which would further increase the number of descendants in the Wu Family, thereby accelerating his own cultivation progress.

To make it easier for his descendants to find suitable Dao companions, Wu Hao moved the entire Wu Family to Sunset City, which also allowed Xu Qingxue to visit her family whenever she missed them.

Despite giving a dowry of one hundred Supreme Spirit Stones, Xu An’s own cultivation progress remained less than optimistic, as he only advanced from the early Nascent Soul stage to the late Nascent Soul stage.

Under Wu Hao’s guidance, his eldest grandson successfully began cultivating the family’s Cultivation Technique, the Five Elements Yin-Yang Sutra (left behind by Su Qiaoran), smoothly advancing to the Qi Refining Stage. Of course, as Wu Qiankun reached the initial stage of Qi Refining, Wu Hao did not display a significant reaction. After all, Wu Qiankun only had a middle-grade Spiritual Root, providing Wu Hao with only a hundredfold feedback. The current breakthrough didn’t enhance his strength much, but it was a steady, long-term investment in the future.

Soon, ten years passed. Within this decade, with resources being poured in, Wu Rulong successfully advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage, and Wu Qiankun became a peak Spiritual Sea-stage cultivator. In such a scenario, Wu Hao also smoothly progressed to the middle Divine Transformation stage, extending his lifespan to ten thousand years.

As for offspring, with the relentless efforts of Wu Rulong and Xu Qingxue, they successfully had three sons and a daughter: the fifth grandson Wu Wandao, sixth grandson Wu Tiankun, seventh grandson Wu Qitian, and eighth granddaughter Wu Xueying. Their talents varied, with Wu Wandao having a Superior Spiritual Root, Wu Tiankun a middle-grade Spiritual Root, Wu Qitian an Exceptional Spiritual Root, and Wu Xueying a middle-grade Spiritual Root.

It was the first time Wu Hao had encountered the existence of an Exceptional Spiritual Root. Such was its rarity that even Quasi-Emperor level beings might find it irresistible to take the person as a disciple. After all, spiritual cultivators are exceedingly rare; among ten thousand, there might not be a single low-grade Spiritual Root, and among ten thousand low-grade ones, there might not be a single middle-grade one. This implies that one in a hundred billion people might have an Exceptional Spiritual Root, and if one appears, barring any accidents, they are likely to advance to Supreme, even Quasi-Emperor status. With a stroke of luck and favorable circumstances, they might even become a Great Emperor!

However, what currently excites Wu Hao the most is that his eldest grandson, Wu Qiankun, has finally reached adulthood. It’s time for him to marry and start a family!
