151: Chapter 151 The Belt and Road Initiative

"It's another son. I really wanted a daughter!"

In the evening, after the crowd had dispersed, Zi Xia lay in Yuan Chen's arms and spoke softly.

Although she said that,

her gaze remained fixed on the son beside her.

Yuan Chen smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry, we have plenty of time. We'll definitely have daughters in the future, and many of them."

Yuan Chen knew she was just overly excited about giving birth to a Top-tier Divine Beast.

A usually very quiet person was chattering away incessantly today.

But Yuan Chen didn't point it out, playing along and comforting her.

"Then I want one right now!"

Zi Xia rolled over.

Her breath was as sweet as orchids.

Yuan Chen felt a tingling sensation on his neck.

But he didn't refuse.

After receiving feedback from the System multiple times,

Zi Xia was now not only completely safe when pregnant,

but she could also recover rapidly after giving birth.

There was absolutely no need to worry about her being unable to handle it.

Zi Xia had also waited for about ten months.

Yuan Chen didn't want to spoil the mood.

However, he didn't tell her that he could only make it happen within a three-day window.

Who knew how much time passed.

After Zi Xia fell asleep,

Yuan Chen finally opened the System to check.

He held a stack of cards in his hand.

These were all his offspring.

At this moment, two small features had appeared on the corners of each card.

One was in the top-left corner, resembling a hook.

The other was in the bottom-right corner, resembling a card slot, but this slot had five sockets.

Yuan Chen had played with toy trains when he was a child.

This was clearly meant to link the two together!

He fell into deep thought.

If that was the case,

each offspring could only receive support from one source,

but they could help five lower-ranked siblings.

Yuan Chen tried to hook a card named Yuan Jia onto Yuan Yun's card.

But it didn't succeed.

Yuan Jia was his Low-grade Divine Beast son, while Yuan Yun was his Top-tier daughter.

Shortly after,

Yuan Chen tried to hook Yuan Luo onto it.

It could be hooked on, but there was no reaction.

He pondered for two seconds.

He then proceeded to hook Yuan Guo's card onto Yuan Yun's.

As soon as they were hooked, ripples of light began to flow across both cards.

Yuan Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected.

Yuan Guo was the second child of Yuan Chen and Luo Xinyi.

Currently, just like Yuan Yun, he was at the Dragon Clan Headquarters.

He had just remembered that the two children also needed to be within a certain distance of each other.

Testing it out, it indeed worked.

After swapping them around a few more times,

he had more or less figured out the rules.

Skipping Ranks to lead others was not allowed.

Yuan Chen thought about it; it was just like going to school.

When explaining the same problem,

if an elementary school student didn't understand, a middle school student could teach them.

But if a university student taught them, the results might actually be worse.

The gap in their ways of thinking was too large.

"I was just trying to count objects, and you went straight to explaining calculus to me!"

Aside from that, those of the same Rank could not be linked together either.

A Low-grade Divine Beast could only be linked to a Mid-tier Divine Beast.

Two Low-grade Divine Beasts had no way of boosting each other.

Even if they were both Low-grade Divine Beasts and one had a slightly stronger talent than the other, it still wouldn't work.

Using the school analogy again,

one is bold enough to teach, but is the other bold enough to learn?

Yuan Chen pondered.

This also came with an even greater benefit.

That was, he didn't need to care about the other party's innate talent at all.

Even if a child's talent was poor,

it could still be slowly upgraded later on.

The feedback they provided to him would also gradually increase.

Moreover,

the card slots couldn't be left empty.

He currently had five Top-tier Divine Beasts.

Each could lead five High Grade ones.

Each High Grade one could lead five Medium Grade ones.

Each Medium Grade one could lead five Low Grade ones.

Calculating it this way, each Top-tier Divine Beast could support one hundred and twenty-five Low Grade ones.

His slots were going to waste!

Furthermore, now that his own talent had been raised,

there would only be more and more Top-tier Divine Beasts in the future.

He couldn't help but laugh.

Previously, he had thought about selecting some highly talented women from the Miaoyin Pavilion.

But now, it seemed that as long as they were good-looking, he could take them all in.

During this period,

he had more or less figured out the personalities of every woman in the Miaoyin Pavilion.

The arrogant and domineering ones were naturally out of the question.

Those who liked to sneak out could also step aside.

Those with incompatible values were excluded.

Those whose looks scored below eighty were put on hold for now.

Even after filtering them like this,

there were still probably several hundred people left!

He was going to have his hands full.

After gloating happily for a while,

he first linked his offspring together.

Luo Xinyi only had two children on her side, so he could just link them directly.

There were three at the Exotic Beast Mansion.

That was enough to boost the other siblings.

Yuan Chen arranged the cards one by one into a tree diagram.

Ripples of water-like light began to flow across every card.

In just an instant, Yuan Chen felt specks of Spiritual Qi being produced within his body.

Although it was somewhat weak,

it was an ongoing, non-stop source of income at every single moment.

By the time he finished, dawn had already broken.

Over the next few days, while Yuan Chen waited for Great Elder Wu Xuan to give birth,

he also engaged in deep, intimate interactions with the other women.

In just seven or eight days, Great Elder Wu Xuan went into labor.

Just like with Zi Xia,

Yuan Chen used the Talent Enhancement Liquid on both of their children.

Without a doubt, they were Top-tier Divine Beasts.

[Name: Yuan Min

Rank: Top-tier Divine Beast

Species: Green-eyed Feathered Dragon

Cultivation: Golden Core Initial Stage

Skill: Kapok Power]

She didn't look much different from a pterosaur.

A triangular head,

a pointed beak,

a pair of soft wings, and a tail trailing behind.

But the difference was that her wings and body were golden-yellow.

[Obtained reward: Summoning Rune. Can summon a Twelve-Tribulation Loose Cultivator Puppet, lasting for three days.]

This was a single-use consumable.

But Yuan Chen's eyes lit up.

A Twelve-Tribulation Loose Cultivator was the peak fighting power in the Cultivation World.

With such a rune, it was as if he had an extra life.

His current strength was still somewhat lacking after all, so he had to rely on external power.

[Obtained reward: Physique increased by 10%.]

[Obtained reward: One hundred years of cultivation.]

[Obtained reward: ...]

This time, the miscellaneous rewards were quite numerous.

But compared to the single reward from Yuan Zhu, they were quite a bit inferior.

Furthermore, Yuan Chen could sense that

this child named Yuan Min was likely a speed-type.

Her combat power might be quite a bit weaker compared to the other Top-tier Divine Beasts.

During the subsequent period, Yuan Chen thoroughly pampered the other seven wives he had brought along,

allowing them to get pregnant as well.

This time, he had obtained another six portions of Talent Enhancement Liquid.

Adding what was left over from last time,

it was completely sufficient.

Furthermore,

once these few women were satisfied,

Yuan Chen was also ready to make his move on the Miaoyin Pavilion.

Not just him,

Wen Rou had already been looking forward to it for a long time,

waiting eagerly for Yuan Chen alongside her niece, Qiu Meng.

But just as he was about to tease Wen Rou,

Yuan Chen suddenly felt a sudden pang of palpitation.

A dark cloud seemed to sweep over his mind.

Yuan Chen was startled.

He had actually forgotten about this matter.

After Great Elder Wu Xuan's child was born, he had already advanced to the Late Stage of Undergoing Tribulation.

And at the Late Stage of Undergoing Tribulation, one had to face the Heavenly Tribulation.

Passing the Heavenly Tribulation would lead to the Great Perfection of Undergoing Tribulation, after which one could reach the final Realm of the Cultivation World: the Mahayana Stage.

If one failed, they would turn into a Loose Cultivator.

Loose Cultivators had twelve tribulations, experiencing a Heavenly Tribulation with each tribulation.

Only after achieving Perfection twelve times could they undergo Ascension to the Immortal Realm.

And if they failed, their body would perish and their Dao would vanish.

Since it was coming now,

he could only push his 'important business' back for now.

He had to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation first.
