  As the m arrived, the sudden realization of what I had do night crushed me down like the weight of ten thousand mountains.

  “Ahh…”

  Not only did we do it a lot st night, but... Well, I used a special teique to groecial "something”.

  It was just an experiment; my body is mostly posed of pressed energy, light, and essence, and I shape it as I please.

  However, this experiment ended up esg into a full-on night session where I couldn’t stop.

  And I think I ended up doing it more than I should have.

  I remember that I didn’t really care in the heat of the moment, but now... What if they get pregnant?!

  Hekita is my adoptive daughter, yeah, but she’s ly a baby; I think in terms of their tribe, she’s already a teenager.

  So I don’t know if she would ever t as “raising a daughter," as she has already been raised and the hard part of raising a kid has already been done.

  Raising a baby... That is a challe even this venerable of eleven thousand years has experienced before.

  Well, what’s done is done.

  I am not someone whrets their decisions, so I will happily embrace whatever oute es from st night’s events.

  Deep down, I also kind of wanted a child of my own—a baby, or maybe two, I guess.

  Though, are they really pregnant? Maybe the seed I produce is iile, and they’re fine.

  “Let’s see…”

  As my two mates cuddled with me in bed, I checked their physiques using my aura, which I gently ed around their bodies.

  They seemed healthy and really fine, and their Cultivation Rank was already about to hit Rank 3 too. They’ve been training almost every day, either hunting monsters or sparring and practig their abilities.

  Refining their energies was a given, as I had personally created a “formation” of sorts within their very bodies the moment I gave them the ability to cultivate.

  This formation resembles a bunch of invisible runes over their skin, and they help them develop their cultivation very quickly through fighting, hunting, leveling, skill acquisition, and magic usage.

  If I had givehe normal way to cultivate, they would have spent three years to reach Rank 2. It would be too inve, and as someone as powerful as myself, doing such a thing seemed foolish and unnecessary.

  After years of iigatiohe creation of Formations, which are the unification of Materials imbued with Dao Particles and the many types of Elemental Ki Essences, ba Murim, Formations were said to be “an imitation of the glory of heaven ah," a culmination of nature and the human mind, but they are also a bit simir to Feng Shui.

  By grabbiain iing elements, putting them together into a certain arra, and then feeding that arra with energy, several effects be created. Formations ba Murim were used for everything we use teology oh.

  Bathroom Formations, Warm Water Formations, Toilet Formations, House Formations, Flying Airship Formations, and Carriage Formations. They could be pacted, aodated, and transformed into a myriad of shapes and forms.

  I spent several years prehending how to make them and mastering them; they became one of my trump cards against the Venerables, as I always kept many formations for almost any situation. I was very paranoid.

  And amongst the many I created, this formation, which I call “Heaven ah Body and Soul,” is one of them. I’ve improved it once I nded ba Earth by adding mana and the slow assimition of the system.

  This formation allowed people to absorb the Essence of Heaven ah as they fought, trained, and cultivated, making their cultivation thousands of times faster. It also allowed them to develop unique abilities and refiheir primary elemental affio even higher degrees of quality.

  However, that was only the base effect; with the Mana and the System, I decided to modify the Formation and create something eveer.

  Now, it also takes into sideration the i of Stats through Leveling, Mana Pools inside people’s Souls, and their Skills and development; therefore, it enhaheir cultivation speed even more the more they traiheir already existing, system-bound abilities.

  But that wasn’t all; this Formation, as it developed, would slowly root into the Soul of the user and ent it, cultivating it alongside the rest of the body.

  At the same time, the System itself, rooted in the soul, would begin to be assimited back by the Formation, slowly being part of it and, therefore, part of the person’s power fully.

  This is the solution I came up with after notig that forcefully extrag the system from people’s souls would essentially destroy their souls in the process, so I needed a differehod.

  Directly making them cultivate their soul wouldn’t work either; it is too slow or painful of a process, so this erfect.

  Merkite and Urbosa’s souls were already growing very strong, overflowing with their primary elements of lightning and wind. The system they had was already slowly being assimited.

  My girls are s~

  Ah, right, I was actually cheg if they were-

  “Oh.”

  Right below their fluffy bellies, perhaps heir womb, I could sense something; in both of them, there was a life being formed, a little speck of life that was overflowing with more power than I imagined.

  It would be stupid of me not to accept it as a faow, as I could clearly sewo little lives developing inside of them; they weren’t there yesterday.

  They’re really pregnant.

  …

  Oh well, I just have to accept it and move on.

  This only leaves ohing in my head, though.

  Why are they so powerful?!

  I don’t remember that in Murim, children from powerful cultivators ever ied any power from them, aside from bloodlihings.

  Everyone in that world was always born as a weak mortal, no matter what talents ifts they were given at birth.

  The thing is, powerful parents would just quickly help their children cultivate to the top, but nobody was ever born at higher ranks or something.

  It was some sort of “bance” so the world wouldn’t go into plete chaos.

  Imagining the children of the Venerable being born as Venerable themselves, the entire world would quickly be destroyed.

  Yet something pletely different was happening right now. How was I able to let my children i such a rge part of my powers like this?

  It was holy baffling.

  Was it the system’s abilities? Maybe Mana has this property? I couldn’t tell.

  If they were bht now, they would have the power of Rank 3 cultivators.

  But I am sure they will tio get stronger as they develop.

  Could they be born instantly as immortals?

  Or even higher?

  Wait, their mothers even handle such a strong child?

  I’m getting a bit worried.

  For now, I’ll reinforce their bodies by fusing the formatio over their bodies with a few more materials and other formations.

  FLASH!

  Using the items I had inside my Inner Realm, and bining them directly into their Formation, their bodies gave off a light glow as the girls slept.

  As I did that, I tinued cheg their health and the health of the developing children.

  “Hmm, that should do it.”

  I’ve done a few things.

  First, I decided to “seal” the power of the children.

  It was the best method, rather than trying to rapidly hasten the girl’s cultivation.

  The children’s powers will tinue developing and growing as they’re sealed, but they will only be unsealed ohey’re born.

  Like that, both the children develop just fine, and their mothers will be healthy and alright.

  Well, I also decided to reinforce the twins’ power a bit more, making their bodies tougher by evolving their physiques a bit more.

  This is as much as I dht now without deteriorating their bodies or causing them pain. I ’t directly raise someoo an Immortal without ending up killing them in the process.

  Even with my Formations, the process must still be gradual.

  heless, they should be as physically tough as Rank 5 Cultivators.

  “Okay, phew, well, that’s that.”

  The seal I put on my terrifyingly strong babies, which were nothing but tiny cells right now, should even withstand the power of a Venerable, so it's alright, they grow as strong as they want.

  I had panicked a bit, but I am gd things resolved fine.

  “Hmm…? Honey? What’s wrong?” Urbosa slowly woke up, notig I was rubbing my fa her fluffy and warm belly and kissing it.

  “A-Ah! You caught me...” I giggled. “I was just cheg a bit... "I think you gnant.”

  “Oh? You see such things?” Urbosa wondered. “Really? Am I having your child, dear?!”

  She got very excited, waggiail happily.

  “Y-Yeah, I believe so- Uwah!” she jumped over me and hugged me tightly, kissing my cheeks.

  “I’m so happy! Let’s make a big family!” she smiled. “I feel so fulfilled!”

  She was really happy, and...

  Am I happy?

  I…

  I think I am. I was worried at first, and I still am.

  Raising a child is a lot of trouble, but it’s also rather cute and a new experience I wao have.

  I am quite happy, yeah.

  I want to see the baby already, cuddle with it, and give it all the love a mother could give.

  “I-I see… I’m also happy as well.” I nodded, caressing her face. “I’ll make sure to be a good mom. I am quite unexperienced, so I hope you help me in that endeavor, dear.”

  “Of course, don’t worry. Leave it to me!” she nodded. “After my husband passed away, I always thought Hekita would be all I had. And I holy didn’t mind, but the females of my tribe usually have more than one child; three, four, or five are quite normal. Even my mother had twins. Having bigger families means that we are all healthy and strong and have enough resources to afford raising another. It is a show of status and well-being that we’re a strong family.”

  “I see… How iing!” I nodded. “I was a bit worried myself, but I am getting quite excited now... I wonder if it will be a birl now. What name could we give it to them?”

  “It is a whole world of possibilities now!” she said. “Let’s decide something together, alright?”

  “Of course…” I hugged her, feeling her warmth.

  I think I really loved her.

  I really love her a lot.

  My cute Urbosa; she’s so precious.

  “I love you.” I ended up muttering.

  “I-I love you too,” she said.

  As we hugged each other, we ended up kissing lovingly.

  I couldn’t really have enough of these cute kisses.

  This whole new life I’m having is so different from back then.

  I’m so happy.

  I ’t believe she would make me this happy.

  I ended up cuddling with my cute Urbosa, hugging her, and feeling her warm fur.

  Resting my face over her chest was the best; she was so soft and warm.

  “You’re so fluffy and warm~ I ’t have enough of this.”

  “Heheh, you really love rubbing your face over me, hm? Such a spoiled mate~”

  “I ’t help it~ So fluffy…” I rubbed my fa her belly and then gave her a pyful bite. “Nom~”

  “Aahahaha! T-That tickles, honey!” she giggled.

  As I ying with my cute girl, suddenly...

  “Meat. Zzzz… Give me the meat!”

  It was Merkite’s voice. Was she dreaming of eati?

  “Ahh, Merkite! Is she still sleeping even at this hour? What am I going to do with this girl?” Urbosa quickly noticed Merkite sn behind me.

  “Yeah, dreaming about eati while sn is definitely what she would do.” I ughed.

  “I-I guess so! But let’s wake up already; the sun has risen. Shall we have a meal? ht, Hekita! I o go wake her up as well.” Urbosa was busier than I thought, quickly walking out of bed.

  Ah, I wao cuddle more with her.

  “Hmm…”

  Oh well, Merkite was here; she’s also just as fluffy.
