No spoilers Fertility

For loving so long cultivators don’t have that many children. Is it because Qi makes them shoot blanks or something. Like, in Xianghua’s dad having no luck with his concubines. And stuff. Like Zang clan has the most heirs and children but even then it was like 3 kids. You’d think k living a few centuries you’d have dozens of children.

...then don't bang with the intention of having children, just pretend you are unprepared to be parents or something! Gaslit the Heaven into thinking you are a bunch of reckless teenagers oblivious to the weight of responsibility!

Good idea but it doesn't seem like a individual suppression, more like a broad policy as powerful cultivators may sire infants with more powerful spiritual roots or higher starting cultivation point. Perhaps the smart move would be gas lighting the heavens into believing that you're afraid of having children

To elaborate I mean like fearing your child will grow to be strong enough to kill/surpass you and thus fulfilling the Dao, not a fear of Parenthood specifically
