451: Chapter 451 Call Me Father

*Crack~*

A crack appeared at the top of the golden bird egg, and a chubby pink hand reached out, followed by another.

With a forceful pry from the two small hands, a large hole broke in the eggshell, and a small head popped out, its dark, beady eyes looking around.

"Wah~"

"Wah wah wah~"

The crying was earth-shattering, spreading through the room and across the entire courtyard, shattering the eggshell that covered his lower body.

The shattered eggshell transformed into strands of golden light that merged into the infant's body, converging at his brow to form a mark of a Roc with spreading wings.

"Wah~"

The little fellow cried even louder, standing there and wailing toward the sky with immense piercing power.

"Stop crying! Come here." Liu Xuan beckoned to the little fellow.

Just as he said it, Liu Xuan slapped his forehead, thinking he was being foolish—who asks a newborn baby to come over?

As he stepped toward the bed, the little fellow was attracted by Liu Xuan's voice, stopped crying, and looked over curiously. Then, completely naked, he jumped off the bed and ran over...

"Aba aba~"

A soft pink hand grabbed Liu Xuan's trouser leg, and he looked up, babbling away.

"Did I really fucking give birth to a Nezha? He can run right after being born!"

Liu Xuan reached out and picked up his son, examining him carefully with his Divine Sense. The little fellow's blood and Qi were surging, and there was a dense Demonic Qi; at birth, his body was already comparable to a Qi Refining Yao Beast.

The Yao Race is different from the Human Race. Humans are born weak; even the offspring of a Nascent Soul True Lord must grow slowly from a normal infant. The Yao Race is naturally strong, and high-tier Bloodline Yao Beasts possess impressive strength from birth.

This child has a sixth-tier top-level Bloodline, likely the highest Yao Race Bloodline in this world currently. The fact that he only has the body of a Qi Refining Yao Beast is probably because he possesses half a Human Race Bloodline; otherwise, he would be even stronger.

The fifth tier is the Soul Transformation Yao Saint, and the sixth tier is the Ascension Immortal Realm, which means this kid is destined for Ascension!

'A sixth-tier Bloodline is probably the ceiling for Yao Race Bloodlines in this cultivation world!'

If this little guy were thrown into the Yao Race, Liu Xuan reckoned he would be treated like a Saint.

Of course! It's also possible he would be treated as a top-tier Heaven And Earth Treasure for enhancing Bloodlines and swallowed in one gulp.

"You possess a trace of the Yinglong Bloodline. The Yinglong soars through the nine heavens and looks down upon all living beings, so I shall call you... Liu Tongxiao!"

"How about it? Are you satisfied with this name?" Liu Xuan patted the little fellow's bottom while holding him with one arm.

"Aba aba~"

The little fellow was in high spirits. Although he couldn't understand what Liu Xuan was saying, he listened intently and babbled back just as seriously.

"Stop with the 'aba aba' and call me Dad!"

"Yao die~"

"Not 'yao die,' call me Dad!"

"Yao die~"

"Yao die~"

The little fellow clapped his hands happily!

Yun Yao recovered from her Bloodline comprehension at this moment. She performed a Cleansing Technique, tidied her dress, and got off the bed.

"Is this our child?" She took the child from Liu Xuan's arms, looked him up and down, and said, "Baby, call me Mom!"

...

Leaving the child for Yun Yao to play with, Liu Xuan went alone to the Cultivation Chamber on the top floor of the Pill Refining Tower.

'Back then, even a trace of the True Dragon Bloodline was extremely effective. I wonder how significant this "substantial increase" really is?'

Liu Xuan's consciousness sank into his Sea of Consciousness, where a ball of dazzling golden Dragon blood floated quietly, with an illusory Dragon shadow swimming within it.

With a thought, the golden light and shadow turned from illusory to real, merging into Liu Xuan's body through the Sea of Consciousness.

"Roar~"

The Golden Core shook, and a low, ancient, and vast Dragon roar rolled out from Liu Xuan's chest. A surge of pressure exploded from the Golden Core, washing through his entire body.

His bones emitted crisp thunderous sounds, and golden Dragon patterns spread beneath his skin.

[True Dragon Bloodline: Physical Body strength greatly increased; pressure and deterrent force against all Yao Race increased; mastery of Law of Spaces increased; probability of conceiving offspring greatly increased; probability of offspring possessing talents greatly increased; Awakening Innate Physique: Longevity Species, Lifespan increased to ten times that of the same Realm.]

The abilities of the True Dragon Bloodline were substantially increased on their original basis, and the Innate Physique, Longevity Species, was awakened.

'Lifespan increased to ten times that of the same Realm. A Golden Core True Person has a thousand-year Lifespan, so ten times is ten thousand years. Doesn't that mean I now have the same Lifespan as a Spirit Transformation Dao Lord!'

The temptation of longevity! Who would complain about having a long life?

A ten-thousand-year Lifespan, a full ten thousand years. "Long live Your Majesty"—this is the dream of countless emperors.

In his past life, ten thousand years ago, humans were still living in caves and making fire with wood. With a ten-thousand-year Lifespan, one could witness the entire development process of human civilization!

Ephemera are born in the morning and die in the evening, unaware of the sun and moon; insects live only a few days, unaware of spring and autumn. The gap between short-lived species and Longevity Species is like a chasm.

Knowing he could live for ten thousand years, there was no change in his strength, but the change in his state of mind was indescribable.

Imagine if a Mortal were suddenly told they could live for ten thousand years; what kind of psychological change would occur?

Love, troubles, money, power... everything they once cared about would likely seem not so important anymore.

Liu Xuan was fine because he hadn't jumped directly from a Mortal to a ten-thousand-year Lifespan; by Cultivating to a Golden Core True Person, he had already increased his Lifespan to a thousand years.

Moreover, because of the System, he had the psychological expectation of Immortal Ascension and eternal life. A ten-thousand-year Lifespan was actually just okay to him; it was merely obtaining something ahead of time that he was supposed to get in the future anyway.

His state of mind remained steady. Liu Xuan settled the Bloodline into his Golden Core and then looked at another reward: the True Dragon Fate Reversal Scripture.

[True Dragon Fate Reversal Scripture: Sixth-tier top-level Cultivation Technique, created specifically for Mixed-blood Dragon Bloodline Yao Race. It can transform the mundane into the divine and forge a True Dragon Body.]

True Dragon Fate-Reversing, reversing one's own destiny, can break through Bloodline limitations. When Cultivated to a certain Realm, the Yao body becomes incredibly powerful, capable of resisting curses and misfortune until it is immune to all techniques.

The requirement to Cultivate this technique is a trace of Dragon Clan Bloodline; the purer the Bloodline, the easier the Cultivation.

However, this thing wasn't very useful to Liu Xuan; he already had the True Dragon Bloodline and didn't need to reverse his destiny at all.

It was even a bit redundant for his son, Liu Tongxiao. Tongxiao himself had a sixth-tier top-level Bloodline and could smoothly grow to the Void Refining Immortal Realm without Cultivating this.

He possessed a trace of the Yinglong Bloodline, and the Yinglong is one of the highest Bloodlines of the Dragon Clan, so he didn't need any fate-reversing.

'Mixed-blood Dragon Clan Bloodline—I have nothing but True Dragon Bloodlines here, no Mixed-blood Dragon Bloodlines at all!'

Being redundant now doesn't mean it will be redundant later. Liu Xuan had quite a few little vixens in his harem now.

Liu Tongxiao's Bloodline was probably so high because he was the first Yao Race offspring; there would surely be offspring with less impressive Bloodlines later.

For them, the True Dragon Fate Reversal Scripture, this sixth-tier top-level Cultivation Technique, would be an extremely precious Legacy!

Furthermore, no matter how redundant it seemed, it was still a sixth-tier top-level Cultivation Technique that could lead to Immortal Ascension!

Although the fate-reversing effect might not be needed, it could still enhance combat power to a certain extent. Especially for his son, Liu Tongxiao—if he Cultivated it, his combat power would surely double!
