[Achievement: Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandsons]
Da Jing, Yan Region, Prince Yan's Mansion.
The nearly eighty-year-old King Yan, Chen Sheng, lay on his sickbed, barely breathing.
Although he was an Innate Grandmaster, years of toil had drained him, leaving him with only a breath of life.
At this moment, the room was filled with kneeling sons and grandsons, heads crowded together, and in the courtyard outside, even more sons and grandsons — too many to count!
Watching the crowd's sobbing, Chen Sheng felt somewhat displeased; he wasn't dead yet. However, when he glanced at the achievement panel - 'Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandsons'
A trace of comfort flashed through Chen Sheng's eyes.
"This life hasn't been lived in vain!"
...
Past memories flashed rapidly in his mind.
Sixty years ago.
The Crown Prince of Yan, Chen Sheng, fell into the water. The Chen Sheng from Earth crossed over, inheriting everything from his predecessor.
From the predecessor's memories, Chen Sheng quickly understood that this was a cultivation world, where one could cultivate immortality, fly with swords, move mountains, and fill seas…
All these were fascinating!
The Chen Clan was merely a noble family from the worldly 'Land of Poor Spirits'.
Of course, in such a cultivation world, the rulers were always at risk from a cultivator's sword light or a spell.
Yet, their Chen Clan could establish a kingdom, govern people, and enjoy wealth and prosperity, all thanks to their background. The Chen Clan's ancestor was a Fake Pill Realm Great Power from a cultivation sect.
However, among the many descendants of the ancestor, not everyone possessed a spiritual root, and for several generations, no spiritual root seedlings were born.
Thus, under the ancestor's arrangement, the Chen Clan gradually split into two branches, with the main branch occupying a Spirit Vein Dojo in the cultivation realm, focusing on cultivation.
The branch consisted mostly of descendants without spiritual roots. These individuals were sent to the mortal world to enjoy a life of wealth and also perpetuate the family line, contributing spiritual root offspring to the clan.
Descendants like Chen Sheng, born in the mortal world, would be periodically tested for spiritual roots by members of the main branch from the cultivation realm.
If they had the aptitude for spiritual roots, they would be sent to the main branch for cultivation.
At seven, Chen Sheng underwent spirit testing and found no spiritual root, so he could only dutifully serve as the Crown Prince of Yan, inherit the fief, and live his carefree life.
The crossed-over Chen Sheng, knowing everything, was quite helpless. Wealth was good, but he also desired cultivation. Why couldn't he have both?
Unfortunately, he had no spiritual root.
What could be done about it!
Just when Chen Sheng thought he'd spend this life as an idle noble, enjoying a century of wealth in vain, he realized he wasn't alone—along with him crossed one invaluable treasure: the "Hundred Generations Book."
As the name suggests, this treasure allowed him to reincarnate for a hundred generations within his bloodline, perpetuating his bloodline and preserving his true spirit.
Chen Sheng rejoiced, seizing the essence of the treasure, realizing that to reincarnate for a hundred generations in his bloodline, he must continue the bloodline!
So, he actively responded to the imperial family's call.
To have as many children as possible!
To have quality offspring!
In just a few years, he married dozens of wives and concubines, including famous widows, older women, and married women from the Yan Region, all with substantial reproductive experience.
With the help of his wives and concubines, Chen Sheng soon fathered numerous children.
The imperial elders, upon hearing this, were quite pleased and bestowed upon him various precious tonics and secret techniques.
The old emperor even decreed a three-year tax exemption for the Yan Region!
This action further fueled Chen Sheng's motivation; for the people of Yan, he dedicated himself to tirelessly practicing the Bedroom Secret Skill, delving into its depths.
With practical experience,
Enhancing his skills!
Chen Sheng became increasingly adept, and two years later, he welcomed another wave of babies!
Even when all his wives and concubines were pregnant, Chen Sheng didn't stop.
The restrictions on a vassal prince were lenient, allowing him to leave the fief at will.
Thus, Chen Sheng began his seven journeys to Jiangnan. Noble and generous, with a sharp look and graceful demeanor,
He left behind countless romantic tales with the daughters of scholarly families and the heroines of martial sects.
Chen Sheng was promiscuous but also deeply passionate, unforgettable to many.
In the decades that followed, every year saw children he left behind coming to the mansion to recognize their kin.
As long as they passed the imperial family's bloodline test, Chen Sheng accepted them all without exception!
In this way, Chen Sheng became the person with the most relatives in Jing Country. The families of his children's spouses, the families of his wives and concubines…
The entire Yan Region, with millions of people, was connected to him by blood.
...
As the saying goes, "you reap what you sow," Chen Sheng's fruitful efforts yielded rich rewards.
In fifty years, Chen Sheng's line produced over eighty spiritual root seedlings, who were sent to the main branch for cultivation and would leave more descendants in the cultivation realm.
This achievement not only earned him relentless yearly rewards from the imperial family but also touched the main branch in the cultivation realm. They specially sent him Innate Pills, Dragon Essence Pills…
Enabling him to become an Innate Grandmaster, advising him to maintain good health.
A healthy body leads to better cultivation!
At forty-nine, the Hundred Generations Book quietly illuminated an achievement—'Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandsons.'
However, according to Chen Sheng's estimate, he had a hundred sons by around twenty-seven, but it was the thousand grandsons that took time to arrive, with his rebellious sons being so disappointing!
...
At this moment, Chen Sheng quickly reviewed the past, familiar faces flashing through his mind, his many romantic companions.
Now, their youngest and most beautiful appearances emerged in his heart.
Chen Sheng calmly closed his eyes, falling into a peaceful slumber, with no regrets in this life.
Soon after, the crying in the mansion grew louder, the whole mansion draped in mourning fabrics.
As news of King Yan's death spread, the citizens of the Yan Region, who enjoyed fifty-plus years of tax exemption, wept in every household.
The funeral procession, comprising tens of thousands, mostly shared some blood relation with Chen Sheng.
...
In a state of chaos, Chen Sheng's consciousness awoke, finding an ancient book before him—the Hundred Generations Book.
The first page revealed images of a handsome, wealthy prince, surrounded by beautiful companions, seeking joy together, bearing a hundred sons and a thousand grandsons.
The image eventually froze on Chen Sheng's sickbed.
The pages quietly turned, revealing a brand-new blank page.
Then, several lines of text lit up.
[First Generation Ends]
[The host possesses the achievement 'Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandsons' in this life and can acquire a talent!]
The text faded, transforming into countless brilliant streams of light, each representing a new talent.
Chen Sheng watched eagerly as a pale blue light eventually merged into the book.
[Talent Acquired—Lower Grade Spiritual Root]
Chen Sheng's heart filled with joy:
"I have a spiritual root now; I can cultivate immortality too."
