182: Chapter 178 The Sensation Caused by the Child's Birth

What was most special was that their eyes were already completely open the moment they were born, without a trace of confusion or cloudiness.

Their bright, sparkling eyes curiously darted back and forth, examining Ling Yuan and Zi Yan as they leaned in close.

Four pairs of eyes stared at each other in a big-eye-meets-small-eye standoff; the scene was quite amusing.

Zi Yan, who had just claimed they weren't familiar, was now lying on her side, carefully observing the two children with a crescent-moon smile in her eyes.

"Are these the humans I gave birth to? They are just too cute!"

"My daughter will definitely be as beautiful as me when she grows up, and my son will surely take after my husband and grow up to be incredibly handsome."

"Husband, shall we give them names?"

At Zi Yan's words, Ling Yuan suddenly remembered that the two children did not yet have formal names.

Zi Yan took the initiative to offer an idea, saying excitedly, "How about we name our daughter Ling Yan?"

Ling Yuan shook his head and refused immediately; he could tell just by hearing it that it was a combination of his and Zi Yan's names—it was so tacky.

He was terrible at naming things, and Zi Yan was even worse.

Counting on her to come up with a good name was basically impossible, so he had to do it himself.

He looked down at the well-behaved baby girl in the swaddling clothes with her lively eyes: "Since their mother is a Dragon, let's name our daughter Ling Long."

Ling Long—implying beauty, docility, clarity, and intelligence.

Zi Yan nodded immediately, very satisfied: "That works, that works! This name sounds good!"

As she spoke, she reached out and pointed to the baby boy beside her: "Then what about him? What should he be called?"

"Uh... let's call him Ling Yao."

Ling Yao—the bright light of the sun and moon, symbolizing an open and dazzling future.

As long as it was a name Ling Yuan chose, Zi Yan thought it was good.

Just like that, the names of the two little ones were officially determined. The older sister, Ling Long, and the younger brother, Ling Yao.

The status of the two children was already extraordinary. Combined with the heaven and earth anomalies that accompanied their birth, from the very moment they arrived, they completely captivated the attention of everyone in the Spirit Realm and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

Zhu Kun and Ling Mie were overjoyed and immediately waved their hands, ordering rewards for all members of both clans, allowing everyone to share in the good fortune.

The entire Spirit Realm and Dragon Island were decorated with lanterns and festoons, with everyone celebrating the birth of the Dragon-Phoenix twins.

Zi Yan's Physical Body had an extremely strong foundation, and with the nourishment of top-tier Spirit Medicine, her postpartum recovery speed was far beyond that of ordinary people.

She had an inherently restless personality; after resting for only one day, she couldn't help but get out of bed early the next day to move around—not even ten oxen could hold her back.

Meanwhile, Ling Yuan took on the role of a stay-at-home dad. Both Ling Yuan and Zi Yan were first-time parents with absolutely no experience in raising children; they were bona fide novice parents.

In the beginning, when they took care of the children, they were exceptionally flustered. When the children cried, they didn't know the reason, and they didn't know how to feed or hold and soothe them.

One Dou Sheng and one Ban Sheng, yet they couldn't handle two newborn babies.

Fortunately, Mother Ling stayed by their side the whole time to help look after them. Familiar with the rhythm of raising children, she guided them one by one, which saved them from quite a bit of trouble.

The two babies spent most of their time sleeping, only crying softly when they were hungry, and immediately falling asleep quietly after being fed, which was very worry-free.

Fortunately, the two little ones were sensible and calm; it seemed they hadn't inherited Zi Yan's restless and active personality from when she was young...

Although Zi Yan complained that the children were troublesome, she didn't truly mean it. When she was free, she would always quietly creep over to the crib and secretly stare at every move the two little ones made.

And sometimes, after Zi Yan had fed the two babies, she would look at Ling Yuan with a grin: "Husband, do you want to try..."

The addition of two heirs to the Spirit Clan would, under normal circumstances, be an ordinary, trivial matter. But these two children were the offspring of Ling Yuan and Zi Yan, and their status was completely different; from the moment they were born, they captivated the attention of all the major top-tier clans.

Those were children born from the union of a Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline and a Spirit Clan God-tier Bloodline! Plus, the heaven and earth anomalies that triggered seven-colored auspicious clouds across the sky the moment they were born.

For children like these, would you say their talent is poor? Perhaps in a few years, the Spirit Clan will have two more supreme powerhouses.

Regarding this, the various Dou Di Clans were filled with envy. Such a Bloodline combination and such birth anomalies were extremely rare throughout the history of the entire continent.

Among the various clans, the Medicine Clan was the first to take the initiative to send generous gifts to congratulate them.

Yao Dan was already overjoyed, becoming even more convinced that the decision to fully befriend the Spirit Clan back then was absolutely correct.

The current Spirit Clan had completely opened up its scope. The older generation had Zhu Kun, a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, and Ling Mie, an Eight Star Dou Sheng, holding the fort. The next generation had the Heaven-Defying couple, Ling Yuan and Zi Yan, supporting the situation, with no equals among the younger generation. The newborn generation, Ling Long and Ling Yao, were born with natural anomalies and had promising futures.

With three generations of powerhouses connecting layer by layer and each generation being strong, the rise of the Spirit Clan and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan was now completely unstoppable. In the future, the Spirit Clan and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan were destined to far surpass the Gu and Hun Clans.

By then, even if the Medicine Clan could only drink the soup, it would be enough to lead the Medicine Clan to rise and completely shake off their previously weak status.

The Gu Clan and Lei Clan also symbolically sent congratulations. The Yan Clan, which had conflicts with the Spirit Clan and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan this time, was actually fine. Anyway, they didn't need to pay anything; just saying a few nice words was enough to save Face and maintain superficial relations.

The Yan Clan and the Hun Clan did not move. Yan Jin still held a grudge against Zhu Kun for stealing his Grade 9 Profound Pill, which indirectly caused the Yan Clan to lose more than a dozen Dou Sheng. He wished the children had died in the womb; how could he possibly come to congratulate them?

And Ling Mie being able to Breakthrough to an Eight Star Dou Sheng in such a short time was definitely thanks to that stolen Grade 9 Profound Pill. It was the Profound Pill that should have belonged to him, the one that would have helped him Breakthrough to a Nine-Star Dou Sheng!!

As for the Hun Clan, it was because they didn't take this seriously at all. Not to mention that the children were just born and nothing could be seen yet, even if their talent was Heaven-Defying, Hun Tiandi wouldn't take them seriously. A Genius who hasn't grown up is just a Genius, not a powerhouse!

Ling Yuan's children were like this. Ling Yuan, whose Realm improvement was rapid, was the same. High-level Dou Sheng were the core for controlling the continent's war situation; without reaching an Eight Star Dou Sheng, one simply couldn't influence the situation.

And wanting to Breakthrough to a High-level Dou Sheng in a short time was simply unrealistic. Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan were considered brilliant talents who crushed all other geniuses back in their day. But even for them, it still took over a hundred years to reach a High-level Dou Sheng, step by step, polishing their way to that Realm.

Xiao Xuan improved quite quickly, but he was just an anomaly. He belonged to a unique class of anomalies, one that wouldn't appear a second time in ten thousand years.

Rather than worrying about the two little babies, it would be better to think about how to deal with Ling Mie. Ling Mie had been stuck at a Six-Star Dou Sheng Bottleneck for many years with no movement, and no one expected that in just a few short years, he would march forward triumphantly, making continuous Breakthroughs and stepping directly into an Eight Star Dou Sheng.

An Eight Star Dou Sheng was already capable of threatening the Hun Clan's layout and was enough for Hun Tiandi to truly take seriously. Especially now, in the terrible situation where the energy for the Emperor Slaying Array was far from collected and two Seven-Star Dou Sheng had died.

What Hun Tiandi was thinking now was: Ling Mie only broke through to an Eight Star Dou Sheng because of the Profound Pill, so he shouldn't be able to break through further, right?
