Chapter 26 Offspring's Foster Reciprocation, Cultivation Soars

Ever since Crown Prince Cao Hao was born, Emperor Cao Xukun had turned into a full-time stay-at-home dad, holding the baby even while handling family affairs.

Other people parenting: feeding, changing diapers, lulling to sleep.

Emperor Cao Xukun parenting: holding the baby in his left hand while signing documents with his right. During meetings, Crown Prince Cao Hao would sit on his lap chewing on a rattle. If anyone dared to talk nonsense, Crown Prince Cao Hao would directly hurl a ball of spiritual power at them, with better accuracy than Li Tieniu's throwing knives.

"I have to say, Young Clan Leader, isn't this parenting method a bit too outrageous?" Li Tieniu watched as Crown Prince Cao Hao knocked over an elder who had misspoken with another ball of spiritual power, his mouth twitching. "Other kids this age are still wetting the bed, but your kid is already acting like a law enforcement squad."

"That's a given." Emperor Cao Xukun lifted his chin proudly and poked Crown Prince Cao Hao's soft little cheek. "My son is a child of destiny; he was born at his peak. Look at him, yesterday he could only throw spiritual power balls, but today he can already condense a spiritual power shield. He's a hundred times stronger than you were at his age."

As he was speaking, Crown Prince Cao Hao suddenly waved his little hand, shooting out a streak of white spiritual power that precisely shot down a sparrow flying in the courtyard. Then he giggled, rubbed his little head against Emperor Cao Xukun's chest, and continued to meditate.

That's right, meditate.

Since the third day after he was born, this little guy had learned to meditate without a teacher. Every day, besides drinking milk and sleeping, he spent the rest of his time sitting cross-legged in his crib, circulating the spiritual power in his body, practicing even more diligently than the most hardworking disciples of the Cao family.

Emperor Cao Xukun was about to praise his son when he suddenly felt a warm current flowing through his dantian, and his cultivation had actually increased by a chunk out of nowhere!

"Hmm?" Emperor Cao Xukun was stunned for a moment. He circulated his spiritual power to check and discovered that his cultivation had actually risen from the early stage of the Late Golden Core Stage to the mid-stage of the Late Golden Core Stage!

"What's going on? I haven't been cultivating?" Emperor Cao Xukun was bewildered. "Could it be that I've been so dedicated to parenting lately that I've moved the heavens?"

Just then, the system notification sound suddenly rang out:

[Ding! Detected that the Blue Luck offspring, Crown Prince Cao Hao, has started independent cultivation. The Offspring Feedback function is officially activated!]

[Function Description: The offspring's cultivation will be automatically fed back to the host at a ratio of 10:1. The faster the offspring cultivates, the faster the host's cultivation grows!]

[Current Crown Prince Cao Hao cultivation: Qi Refining Stage 3 peak, host cultivation feedback + 0.3 stages!]

"Holy crap! There's such a good thing?" Emperor Cao Xukun almost threw Crown Prince Cao Hao out, jumping up in excitement. "So having kids is the fastest way to cultivate! All those pills I ate and secret realms I stormed in the past weren't as effective as having a son! This is basically winning while lying down, right?"

He quickly looked down at Crown Prince Cao Hao in his arms, only to see the little guy closing his eyes and practicing diligently, with the spiritual energy around him rushing toward him frantically. And as Crown Prince Cao Hao's cultivation grew bit by bit, Emperor Cao Xukun's dantian also continuously surged with pure spiritual power.

"Awesome! This is too awesome!" Emperor Cao Xukun grinned from ear to ear. "Son, keep practicing hard! Daddy's cultivation depends on you! From now on, you cultivate, and Daddy lies back. Together, we father and son will be invincible across the world!"

For the next three days, Emperor Cao Xukun completely slacked off.

In the past, he would get up to cultivate before dawn every day, but now he slept until he woke up naturally every day, and once awake, he would hold Crown Prince Cao Hao to soak up the sun. When Crown Prince Cao Hao cultivated, he would lie down and eat melon seeds; when Crown Prince Cao Hao drank milk, he would eat snacks; when Crown Prince Cao Hao slept, he would sleep too.

Yet even so, his cultivation was still skyrocketing like a rocket.

On the first day, Crown Prince Cao Hao broke through to Qi Refining Stage 4, and Emperor Cao Xukun rose to the peak of the Late Golden Core Stage.

On the second day, Crown Prince Cao Hao broke through to Qi Refining Stage 5, and Emperor Cao Xukun was just one step away from the peak of the Golden Core.

On the evening of the third day, Crown Prince Cao Hao successfully broke through to Qi Refining Stage 6!

[Ding! Offspring Crown Prince Cao Hao's cultivation has increased to Qi Refining Stage 6, host cultivation feedback + 0.7 stages!]

[Host current cultivation: Golden Core peak!]

A terrifying force instantly erupted from Emperor Cao Xukun's body, and black Chaos Spiritual Power shot into the sky, enveloping the entire Cao family in this powerful aura.

Imperial Concubine Xiao Ya, who was practicing with her sword, had her hand shake, and the long sword almost fell to the ground: "Holy crap! Another breakthrough? Wasn't he at the Late Golden Core Stage three days ago? Is this cultivation speed too outrageous?"

Su Wanqing, who was boiling prenatal medicine, also looked up and said with a smile: "It must be the credit of Crown Prince Cao Hao's feedback. I just saw Crown Prince Cao Hao break through to Qi Refining Stage 6."

"No way?" Imperial Concubine Xiao Ya widened her eyes. "From Qi Refining Stage 3 to 6 in three days? This is faster than taking a rocket! So our cultivation is like passing a tribulation, and his cultivation is like drinking water? And that jerk Emperor Cao Xukun, doing nothing and just lying there gaining cultivation, this is too unfair!"

"Who told him he knows how to have sons." Empress Liu Ruyan walked over, touching her own belly, and said with a smile, "When our children are born, the feedback cultivation will surely be even more. By then, he will be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage just by lying down."

"No way, no way, I have to give birth quickly." Imperial Concubine Xiao Ya touched her eight-month-old belly, looking anxious. "I also want to give birth to a powerful baby so I can experience the feeling of winning while lying down!"

At this moment, in the Council Hall, the elders were collectively petrified.

"Three days... he went from the Late Golden Core Stage to the Golden Core peak in three days?"

"I cultivated for fifty years just to reach the early Golden Core stage, and he rises an entire major realm in three days. Is this even letting people live?"

"I used to think the Young Clan Leader was cheating, but now I know he's cheating by using his son!"

"I announce that from now on, the Cao family's core development strategy is: have more children and plant more trees!"

Li Tieniu was even more doubtful about life, squatting in the corner drawing circles: "I practiced hard for twenty years just to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the Young Clan Leader reached the Golden Core peak in three days just by lying down. Why is the gap between people so big?"

Emperor Cao Xukun felt the surging power in his body and couldn't stop grinning.

"Golden Core peak! Finally reached the Golden Core peak!" He hugged Crown Prince Cao Hao and kissed him hard. "Son, you are too awesome! Daddy loves you to death!"

"At this rate, when Su Wanqing's Golden Luck baby is born, I can directly break through to the Nascent Soul Stage! When Imperial Concubine Xiao Ya and Empress Liu Ruyan's babies are born, wouldn't I directly rush to the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage?"

"So 'many children, many blessings' isn't just talk, this is literally 'many children, much cultivation'! If I had known, I would have had children earlier, and I could already crush the Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sect by now!"

He looked up toward the direction of the Qingyun Sect, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Young Master Xiao Chen, oh Young Master Xiao Chen, you're still worrying about breaking through to the Golden Core Mid-stage, right? I'm already at the Golden Core peak, and in a few days, I'll be at the Nascent Soul Stage."

"What do you have to fight me with?"

"When I break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, I will personally go to the Qingyun Sect and snatch away the rest of your remaining luck."

"By then, I will let you watch with your own eyes how I, with my sons, step by step, climb to the peak of the myriad worlds!"
