Yes, indeed.
Thunder Vein Seat, Model for Bearing Sons! This title.
It's a long story.
Ji Yan rose to prominence earlier than Luo Binglan, Jiang Yourong, and even the current Three Pure Immortal Sect Sect Master Zhuo Canglang.
A thousand years ago.
He was already the famous Three Pure Immortal Sect Thunder Vein Senior Brother, stably ranked in the top twenty among the Three Pure Immortal Sect's 360 veins' heavenly prides.
Hmm.
Making it into the top ten, however, was still a stretch.
After all, the Three Pure Immortal Sect at that time could be said to have heavenly prides emerging everywhere. Even the weakest branch vein chief was at the level of being a pillar in ordinary immortal sects.
Growing up in such an environment, Ji Yan actually didn't possess the arrogance of 'I am invincible.'
After all, there were quite a few people among the true transmission disciples more outstanding than him. The strongest few could even beat him easily.
Later.
The Demon Realm seal was destroyed, and a hundred thousand demons ambushed the Three Pure Immortal Sect. Ji Yan could only watch helplessly as countless main peaks collapsed and countless powerful seniors he could only look up to died in battle.
And those so-called 'peerless geniuses'.
Appeared so pale and powerless before demons outnumbering them tens or hundreds of times.
You're invincible at your level?
Then I'll send a dozen demons at your level to encircle and kill you. If a dozen isn't enough, then dozens. If dozens aren't enough, then hundreds!
At that time.
The 360 branch veins' countless heavenly prides fell one by one, exhausted, dying before Ji Yan's eyes—including many whose talents exceeded his.
This dealt a massive blow to this Thunder Vein heavenly pride's daoist heart, nearly crushing him completely.
Later.
324 main peaks collapsed under the demons' trampling. The remaining 36 branch veins were also devastated.
The Thunder Vein, being a thorn in the demons' eyes, was naturally a key target. Half of its mountain gate was blasted apart, and its disciples were nearly slaughtered—only a dozen or so survivors remained.
Ji Yan.
Was the most talented among these dozen survivors, bearing great hopes.
Everyone thought Ji Yan would work hard to cultivate and strive to break through to Soul Seperation. Stage or even Manifestation Stage as quickly as possible to shoulder the Thunder Vein's glory once more.
But Ji Yan didn't think so. He believed that no matter how strong an individual was, they couldn't support the Thunder Vein alone.
In Ji Yan's view.
A single chopstick is easily broken; many hands make light work!
If the Thunder Vein wanted to rise again, they couldn't rely on individual heroism—greater numbers meant greater power!
How to add people?
Simple—three plans.
First, ask the Sect Master for money and massively recruit people. Increase the Thunder Vein disciples' benefits so more quality talents would join. Even if it meant waiving tuition and offering scholarships, they had to poach people!
Second, hand over Thunder Vein's transmission to the Scripture Pavilion, but the Thunder Vein would take fifty percent of the borrowing fees—and they'd give out versions without annotations.
Just kidding!
The mysteries of thunder techniques are boundless and infinitely powerful. Seeing unannotated versions of thunder technique manuals, would you not be tempted? Would you not want to learn the annotated versions? Would you not want Thunder Vein masters to guide you?
Would you not want to join the Thunder Vein and use its various secret grounds to cultivate thunder techniques more efficiently?
Third, have children yourself!
As the saying goes: dragons breed dragons, phoenixes breed phoenixes, and a rat's son knows how to dig holes.
The essence of cultivation is actually the elevation of one's life level. Therefore, the higher a cultivator's cultivation, the relatively higher probability of birthing geniuses.
Ji Yan, as the Thunder Vein's true transmission Senior Brother, was outstanding in both talent and cultivation.
Barring accidents.
The offspring he produced would surely not have weak talent—most likely they would be genius prodigies.
However.
Unlike the Dual Cultivation Vein, for cultivators to produce offspring, both parties must deplete their origin power.
After each birth.
It takes a long time to recover vital energy, and it may even affect one's own cultivation.
This is also a restriction added by the Heavenly Dao for balance. Otherwise, if powerful races kept having children endlessly, how would other races survive?
Generally speaking.
The more extraordinarily talented someone is, the less they would consider having children early, as it affects their own cultivation.
Unless they feel their potential is exhausted and can no longer advance on the cultivation path, and then see their fellow daoists all having children to enjoy family happiness.
Only then.
Would they consider depleting their own origin power to produce offspring and enjoy the pleasures of family.
But Ji Yan was different!
He had an extremely deep obsession with reproduction. From somewhere, he obtained a 'Many Sons Many Blessings Great Method,' claiming it could 'strengthen origin power, spear-challenge groups of immortals' and 'produce many excellent offspring, prevent stillbirths.'
For these eight hundred-plus years, besides daily cultivation and managing Thunder Vein affairs, Ji Yan spent nearly all his extra time taking concubines and having children.
Depleting origin power, conceiving one, recovering for a few years.
Depleting origin power again, conceiving another, recovering for a few more years.
Infinite looping~
Now.
Over eight hundred years later, Ji Yan had forcefully taken more than thirty concubines and produced over a hundred offspring.
Single-handedly, he built a large family within the Thunder Vein.
Truly breathtaking!
What's even more incredible is that these hundred-plus offspring were almost all sons—only at the ninety-ninth pregnancy was a daughter born.
That was Ji Zidian.
This also made Ji Zidian's status in the Thunder Vein extraordinary.
After all.
Setting aside her father being the Thunder Vein Seat, just her ninety-eight older brothers who wielded lightning and were sister-complex—ordinary people wouldn't dare provoke her.
"Father~"
Ji Zidian ran to Ji Yan's side and tugged his sleeve: "Why are you here?"
Hmph!
Ji Yan carefully examined Ji Zidian. Seeing that although her aura was disordered and she had suffered some light injuries, there was nothing serious, his expression only then improved slightly.
Then.
He turned his gaze to Wang Xiu and said indifferently: "You are that Wang Xiu from the Divination Vein?"
Good heavens.
The pressure from this mighty one was far stronger than Jiang Yourong's half-baked residual soul.
Wang Xiu quickly bowed and said: "Junior Wang Xiu greets Uncle Ji."
Ji Yan snorted: "For this team trial, did Little Nine contact you first, or did you pursue her first?"
Sure enough.
From top to bottom in the Thunder Vein, no one had a good face for the Divination Vein.
But that's normal.
After all, the Thunder Vein was nearly annihilated eight hundred years ago. It would be abnormal not to have resentment toward the Divination Vein. They didn't march up to Spirit Turtle Peak and dismantle the mountain gate only out of respect for the righteous sects' dignity.
Wang Xiu sighed and said: "It was this junior who actively invited Senior Sister."
Boom~
Massive pressure poured down like raging waves. Ji Yan, with a dark expression, said: "I remember I said the Thunder Vein doesn't welcome anyone from your Divination Vein."
"Yet you actively pursued my daughter. Do you really think that with Luo Binglan protecting you, I wouldn't dare touch you?"
At this moment.
Ji Yan's face was terribly dark.
Not to mention that upon hearing news of his daughter's danger, he had even interrupted a baby-making ritual and directly tore through the void to rush over—his heart was already full of pent-up anger from being woken up.
After receiving his daughter and seeing the way she looked at this kid, the rage in Ji Yan's heart multiplied.
Just looking at those tender, affectionate eyes—who would believe nothing was going on!
No!!!
I, Ji Yan, would rather die, would rather jump from Thunder Roaring Peak, than let a Divination Vein scoundrel defile my family's precious cabbage!
No wait.
Not just the Divination Vein—no vein at all!
Just as Ji Yan, full of rage, was about to teach this cabbage-stealing little thief a lesson.
Suddenly.
He let out a cry of pain—it was Ji Zidian seeing her father using his status to pressure someone, angrily stomping her foot and viciously pinching Ji Yan's waist.
"Father!"
"How are you speaking to Senior Brother Wang Xiu!"
