Twins

At this point, the cultivation core reaches a higher level of refinement and power, taking on a golden hue that symbolizes its strength and purity. Cultivators become capable of releasing more powerful Qi attacks to travel hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye and easily shatter mountains hundreds of feet high. Beings in this realm can summon the elements and become one with those -this.

Yun Tian opened his eyes, a glimmer of triumph and serenity in his eyes. The incredible power of his new golden core, or rather his primordial core, surged within him, ready to be deployed. He stood up, feeling a new strength flowing through his veins, every fiber of his being vibrating with this renewed energy. About ten days had passed since he had locked himself in that meditation chamber, and he knew that the time had come for him to reunite with his family.

What kind of power did I get? I really feel invincible, like no one can do anything to me. But I must not be complacent with this kind of power, I must go even further.

He left the meditation chamber, feeling the soft light of day filtering through the windows. The house was calm, almost serene. Yun Tian knew that Ji Xue and Yun Lian were waiting for him, and he hurried to join them.

When he entered the living room, Ji Xue was standing by the window with one hand resting on her round belly. She turned around, a bright smile lighting up her face when she saw Yun Tian.

"Yuntian!" she exclaimed, rushing towards him. "You came back!"

Yun Tian took her into his arms, hugging her gently. "Xue'er, I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. How are you feeling?"

Yun Tian smiled as he placed a hand on Ji Xue's stomach. "I'm sorry I wasn't here sooner. But I'm here now, and I'm going to stay by your side."

Yun Lian, who had grown up and now reached the fourth level of the Body Strengthening Realm, ran into the room. "Dad! You're back!"

Yun Tian knelt down to hug his daughter. "Yes, Lian. How are you?"

"I'm fine, Dad. I've worked a lot on my cultivation," she said proudly.

"I see that. You're improving day by day. Keep it up!" Yun Tian replied proudly.

A few weeks later, feeling contractions, Yun Tian and Ji Xue went to the city clinic for the birth of the children. Yan City had recently strengthened its medical infrastructure with the help of Marquis Yang. They were welcomed by experienced midwives and competent doctors.

The day passed in a blur of anticipation and preparation. Yun Tian stayed by Ji Xue's side, holding her hand and reassuring her. Finally, the long-awaited moment arrived.

Ji Xue's cries of pain echoed through the room, but she held on, her determination matching Yun Tian's. After hours of intense effort, the first cry of a newborn baby fills the room. A midwife approached Yun Tian with a little boy in her arms, her eyes shining with a golden glow.

"Congratulations, Master Yun Tian. It's a boy," she said, handing him the child.

Yun Tian gently took his son into his arms, his eyes filled with joy. But it wasn't over yet. Soon after, a second cry sounded, and another boy was brought to Ji Xue.

"Twins," Ji Xue murmured, exhausted but beaming with happiness.

Both boys were surprisingly calm, observing the world with curious eyes. Yun Tian could feel powerful energy emanating from them.

I sense part of the dragon bloodline in the bodies of these two children. They probably inherited part of my bloodline.

"Xue'er, they are beautiful," Yun Tian murmured as he looked at his two sons, a smile of pride lighting up his face.

Ji Xue, tired but happy, nodded. "Yes, Yun Tian. What names shall we give them?"

Yun Tian thought for a moment, feeling the strength and potential in his sons' small bodies. "The first one will be called Yun Hao," he said as he looked at the firstborn, his golden eyes shining with a mysterious glow. "Hao, like the vast sky."

He then turned to the second boy, who was watching his father with equally sharp eyes. "And the second one will be called Yun Lei," he continued, gently stroking the newborn's head. "Lei, like mighty thunder."

Ji Xue smiled faintly, her eyes shining with tears of joy. "Hao and Lei. Powerful names for powerful children."

The two boys, with their golden hair reminiscent of the sun's rays and their sparkling eyes of the same shade, seemed almost unreal. Their hair, fine and silky, looked like pure gold, further emphasizing the nobility of their lineage.

The midwives and doctors, having finished their work, left the family to rest. Yun Tian stayed close to Ji Xue, holding their twins in his arms, his thoughts swirling with visions of the future. He knew that these children, with their exceptional bloodline, would become powerful cultivators.

A few days later, after Ji Xue had a good rest, the Yun family returned home. Yun Tian took care of her carefully, ensuring that she recovered well from childbirth. Yun Lian, on the other hand, was delighted to have younger brothers and observed them curiously.

"Daddy, they're so little," she said one day, looking at Hao and Lei asleep in their crib.

"Yes, but they will grow up quickly," Yun Tian replied with a smile. "And in time, they will become as strong as you, maybe even stronger."

The weeks passed and the Yun household returned to a peaceful routine. Yun Tian continued to train and hone his skills, knowing that his responsibility as protector of Yunzhu County required constant vigilance. He also spent time with his family, teaching Yun Lian and watching over Ji Xue and the twins.

One day, as the sun rose over Yan City, Yun Tian felt a strange energy in the air. He went out of the house to investigate and saw a messenger from Marquis Yang approaching quickly.

"Master Yun Tian," the messenger said, panting after his run. "Marquis Yang asks you to come to the mansion immediately. There is an emergency."

Yun Tian nodded, feeling his heart tighten slightly. "I understand. I'll be there in a moment."

He quickly went back inside to warn Ji Xue. "Xue'er, I have to go see Marquis Yang. There seems to be an emergency."

Ji Xue nodded, her face showing slight worry. "Be careful, Yun Tian."

Yun Tian smiled at him, kissed him quickly, then turned to Yun Lian. "Watch over your mother and brothers while I'm gone, okay?"

"Yes, Dad," Yun Lian replied with determination, his gaze filled with the same strength that inhabited his brothers.

Yun Tian quickly arrived at Marquis Yang's mansion, crossing the vast gardens with quiet confidence. Marquis Yang, a man in his fifties with piercing eyes and an imposing posture, was waiting for him in the main hall. Next to him was his main advisor, it was Lei Wei.

"Master Yun Tian," Marquis Yang greeted as he stood up to greet him. "Thank you for coming so quickly."

"Marquis Yang," Yun Tian replied, bowing his head slightly. "What is this emergency you wanted to talk to me about?"

"This is not an emergency as such. First of all, congratulations on your breakthrough into the golden core realm and the birth of your twins."

"I thank you, my lord the marquis."

"It's nothing and there is no need for formalities between us, after all you are the protector of this county. But in short, if I summoned you it is to announce that within ten years there will be a tournament for the younger generation. This tournament will decide which young cultivators can enter the magic spiritual river zone."

"The magical spiritual river area?" Yun Tian repeated, intrigued.

"Indeed, this area is a huge space established by an ancient, powerful sect. The goal is to train the younger generation there. It opens every 30 years and contains countless treasures. The deeper you venture there and the more valuable the treasures will be. Obviously, to access these treasures, you have to face several dangers but also other disciples of sects or families."

"I see. It's quite interesting, I think Lian'er will be able to participate. I don't know yet if the twins will be able to, but it all depends on their ability."

"Ahaha! Good! The child of a dragon is also a dragon. I really look forward to seeing their performance."

Yun Tian nodded, his thoughts already turning to preparing his children for this rare opportunity. "Marquis Yang, I would also like to ask you a favor. I would like to recruit some people for my family. Can you help me ensure that a good number of cultivators can be there on the recruitment day?"

Marquis Yang thought for a moment, then nodded. "Of course, Yun Tian. I have contacts in many sects and families. I will ensure that the best talents are informed and present. You can count on my support."

"Thank you, Marquis Yang."

Marquis Yang smiled, satisfied. "It is crucial that we join forces in the times to come. This tournament will not only be an opportunity for our young people, but also a way to strengthen our alliances and secure our position in the kingdom."

"I agree," Yun Tian replied. "We must prepare for all eventualities. The competition will be fierce, and we must ensure that our young people are not only strong, but also wise and strategic."

Marquis Yang rose from his chair, signaling the end of the meeting. "So, we have a plan. I will begin mobilizing my contacts immediately. Yun Tian, ​​I will keep you informed of developments. In the meantime, begin preparations on your side."

Yun Tian bowed his head in respect. "Thank you, Marquis Yang. I will return to my family and begin preparations. We will see each other again soon."

As he left Marquis Yang's mansion, Yun Tian felt a new determination burning within him. Returning home, Yun Tian found Ji Xue resting in their room, the twins sleeping beside her. Yun Lian was training in the garden, performing graceful yet powerful movements.

"Dad !" she exclaimed when she saw him. "How did the meeting go?"

Yun Tian smiled, proud of his daughter. "Very well, Lian. We need to prepare for a tournament that will take place in ten years. It will be an opportunity for you and perhaps your brothers to show off your talents and advance in your cultivation."

Yun Lian nodded, his eyes shining with determination. "I'll be ready, Dad. I'll train hard."

"I don't doubt it," Yun Tian replied, hugging her. "With your potential, you have every chance of succeeding."

During the days and weeks that followed, Yun Tian implemented a rigorous training program for Yun Lian. He brought in renowned cultivation masters, alchemists, and strategists to teach his daughter. Yun Tian himself spent a lot of time teaching him his most advanced techniques. He also learned a lot about these methods.

Two years later, more than two hundred cultivators gathered in front of the Yun family mansion, all wishing to serve the county protector's family.

Yun Tian who was in his cultivation isolation room. He had just broken through.
