Chapter 90: New Offspring Born in Clusters

With the emergence of the Time Fortress, the Ye Clan’s cultivation surged.

Ye Wushang spent nearly all his time inside, training relentlessly whenever he wasn’t with his wives and children.

The women, too, entered the fortress and began their own intense cultivation.

Ten months passed.

Thanks to the Time Fortress and the Dragon Blood Pool, Ye Wushang’s realm advanced two layers reaching the Fifth Layer Cave Heaven Realm.

Without these aids, even one layer would’ve been a monumental challenge.

His wives felt the growing gap and began chasing after him.

* * * * Yue Rushuang reached Third Layer Manifestation Realm

* * * * Sikong Mingyue followed at Second Layer

* * * * Zhao Qingge and Mo Sijun, limited by talent, reached Peak Purple Palace Realm

Still, their progress was impressive especially given their youth.

Outside the birthing chamber, Ye Wushang waited quietly.

Having missed Mu Xiyao’s delivery, he now cherished every birth.

But the more he cared, the deeper his guilt toward Mu Xiyao grew.

When Yue Rushuang gave birth, he entered the room, held the child and fell silent.

She didn’t mind.

She knew Ye Wushang was deeply emotional and that his recent cultivation frenzy stemmed from a desire to protect his loved ones.

She grasped his hand.

“Husband, don’t worry. The sister and the child are blessed. They’ll be fine.”

Her words brought him back.

He looked at the chubby baby, pouting as if scolding him for being distracted.

He smiled.

He kissed the child gently, then turned to Yue Rushuang, exhausted but radiant.

“I’m sorry, Rushuang.”

She stopped him.

“We’re one. I understand. But when Sijun and Qingge give birth no more distractions.”

He hugged her.

“Thank you.”

“I want to name him.”

“Of course.”

“Let’s call him Ye Tianmu.”

Their twentieth child is the last of the “Ye Tian” generation.

Ye Wushang agreed.

As mother and child slept, he quietly left.

Outside, he checked the system.

[Congratulations! Your twentieth child has been born. Assessing aptitude…]

[Fate: Purple | Aptitude: Top-tier | Talent: Nine-Vein Celestial Physique | Rating: Grand Prodigy]

Not the strongest of his children but still exceptional.

[Rewards: 9 Spirit Body Fragments, 9 Dao Eye Fragments, 1 Mid-grade Spirit Stone Mine, 99 types of spirit herb seeds, 3 King-grade techniques, 5 million Fate Points]

He stored the rewards, informed Ye Weiwu about the mine, and buried the spirit vein beneath the clan.

Only Ye Zhen noticed the surge in spiritual energy but didn’t react. He’d grown used to Ye Wushang’s miracles.

Days later, Sikong Mingyue’s child was born.

[Congratulations! Your twenty-first child has been born. Assessing aptitude…]

[Fate: Gold | Aptitude: Peerless | Talent: Spear Dao Sovereign, Humanoid Beast Physique | Rating: Top-tier Prodigy]

Ye Wushang’s eyes flickered.

This child inherited both our peak talents.

He himself was a humanoid beast capable of killing peak Cave Heaven experts with a single punch.

[Rewards: +1 realm layer, 9 Spirit Body Fragments, 9 Dao Eye Fragments, Qiongqi Blood, 5 resource mines, 99 spirit herbs, 5 King-grade techniques, 10 million Fate Points]

His realm jumped to Sixth Layer Cave Heaven Realm saving years of cultivation.

He named the boy Ye Fengxing the first of the “Ye Feng” generation.

Ten days later, Zhao Qingge’s child arrived.

[Congratulations! Your twenty-second child has been born. Assessing aptitude…]

[Fate: Red | Aptitude: Top-tier | Talent: Xuanhuang Physique | Rating: Grand Prodigy]

Another Grand Prodigy.

[Rewards: 9 Dao Eye Fragments, 9 Spirit Body Fragments, 3 Ancient Beast Blood Fragments, 1 Partner Advancement Card, 1 King-grade technique, 5 million Fate Points]

Ye Wushang’s eyes widened.

[Partner Advancement Card: Choose 3 companions. Each will gain one full realm over 3 years. Cannot be used on non-partners or those stronger than the host.]

He chose:

* * * * Mu Xiyao alone and vulnerable

* * * * Yue Rushuang the clan’s matriarch

* * * * Summer Zixuan ruler of Daxia

Each choice was strategic for safety, authority, and deterrence.

Soon after, Yue Rushuang approached him.

“Husband, Master left a treasure for Sister and me. It’s time to retrieve it. She’s missing, so I’ll go alone.”

Ye Wushang smiled.

“Go. I’ll handle the children.”

She packed and left her first journey outside the clan in years.

Meanwhile, in Daxia Palace, Summer Zixuan’s eyes gleamed.

“This secret technique, I’ll reach the Cave Heaven Realm within a year.”

She began cultivating.

In the Xuanzhong Mountains, Mu Xiyao finished nursing her child.

She prepared to find a place to settle.
