Chapter 784: Born with blood clots in hand, leave!

Star Constellation Sea, Penglai Island, Goddess Palace.

At this moment, within the Goddess Hall, shrouded in mist and situated atop the mountains, the three Palace Masters of the Goddess Palace were gathered.

However, they were not conversing or discussing important matters as usual, but rather giving birth.

Inside the bedchamber, filled with Spiritual Qi and Immortal Qi, twelve mermaid-gauze palace lanterns illuminated the millennia-old cold jade bed with shimmering light.

First Palace Master Shen Jianjia sat by the bed with a look of deep concern, gazing at Shen Yiren, who was dressed in a sky-blue gauze dress, her face pale and weak, her lower abdomen heavily distended.

Her graceful and elegant beautiful face, completely devoid of its usual peerless majesty, was filled with tenderness and heartache.

Even though her sister, at her level of Cultivation, could not possibly experience a difficult birth like a Mortal.

Yet, seeing her sister in such pain, her heart was still deeply troubled.

Her little sister, from childhood to adulthood, had never suffered such hardship.

The Five-Colored Spirit Deer beside them also felt great distress for its master, occasionally letting out soft ‘yo-yo’ cries, forming a radiant glow filled with immense vitality that nourished Shen Yiren’s jade-like body.

“I told you there was no need to consume so many Heaven And Earth Treasures for pregnancy.”

Not far away, Second Palace Master Shen Baishuang, dressed in a beautiful red gown, like a blooming scarlet peony, walked back and forth in the palace, her figure mature, graceful, and captivating.

At their level, when their little sister became pregnant and gave birth, they naturally wouldn’t be stingy.

For example, Shen Jianjia not only gave Shen Yiren several rare Spirit Medicines for stabilizing and nurturing the fetus from the Goddess Palace treasury, but also went to the Dan Alliance and exchanged for a [Heavenly Wood Spirit Nurturing Pill].

However, everything has its pros and cons.

While this could ensure the child’s safe birth and give them an advantage in the womb, it would inevitably put some pressure on the mother’s body.

After all, these Heaven And Earth Treasures all needed to be digested and refined by the mother, and then their spiritual essence transferred into the fetus.

“Ah—”

Another wave of intense pain struck, and Shen Yiren on the bed bit her lips with her pearly teeth, tightly clutching her older sister’s fair, jade-like hand.

Shen Jianjia’s peerless, enchanting face suddenly tensed, and she reprimanded her second sister, “You’re not mute just because you don’t speak! Why aren’t you activating the Xuanji seven luminaries Formation?!”

Shen Baishuang dared not talk back to her older sister, Shen Jianjia.

Moreover, her little sister’s pregnancy was also related to her, so she felt very much in the wrong.

Her fingertips condensed starlight, pointing towards the twelve mermaid-gauze palace lanterns in the bedchamber.

The seven layers of curtains around them moved without wind, and the outermost midnight curtain reflected phantom stars onto the palace, casting a faint glow onto Shen Yiren on the bed, causing brilliant starlight to flow across her abdomen.

Immediately after, the second layer, the Yimu curtain, fluttered, and under its emerald green light, a towering Jianmu tree phantom shimmered faintly, with threads of spiritual dew dripping from its branches and sprinkling onto Shen Yiren.

It could be said that to ensure her sister’s safe delivery and the future successor of their Goddess Palace, Shen Jianjia, as an older sister, had put in immense effort.

She had previously expended great magical power to help her two younger sisters suppress the Fairy Tear, and these days she had been constantly busy for her little sister Shen Yiren, having no time to Cultivate Divine Abilities or restore her depleted Cultivation.

Time passed bit by bit, and in the latter half of the day, Shen Yiren suddenly experienced an intense surge of pain, and a blue-gold luster appeared on her bulging lower abdomen.

Shen Jianjia immediately lit the incomparably rare Star Sinking Sea Incense beside her, comforting her sister.

“Wow!”

As the swirling Spiritual Qi surged back into Shen Yiren’s body, a clear cry escaped from her pale, bitten lips, and the loud wailing of a baby resounded throughout the entire bedchamber.

“Born, born!”

Shen Baishuang looked at the exquisitely carved, jade-like baby whose skin was translucent like琉璃, and whose breathing emitted a faint Magnetic Force. She frowned and said, “This Qi, could it be… a Yuan Magnetic Body?”

Although the Yuan Magnetic Body was a top-grade Spirit Body, and among the very best.

But for Nascent Soul True Lords like them, a top-grade Spirit Body only offered assistance during Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Core Formation.

Once one Broke Through to Nascent Soul, its effect became limited.

Moreover, while the Yuan Magnetic Body was powerful, it did not align with the Legacy of their Goddess Palace.

Their Goddess Palace also lacked top-tier Legacies in Yuan Magnetic Cultivation Technique.

For instance, when her sister Shen Jianjia had previously set up the Xuanji seven luminaries Formation, she had hoped this child would possess a Star Body.

Even if not, at least a Spirit Body of water or wood attribute.

“It should be a Yuan Magnetic Body.”

Although the Magnetic Force on the infant’s body disappeared instantly after birth, Shen Jianjia, as a Nascent Soul True Lord, clearly perceived it.

She didn’t mind, and said softly, “The Magnetic Force is unparalleled in combat among those of the same rank. It is a good thing for this child to possess a Yuan Magnetic Body. In the future, I will find a Yuan Magnetic Legacy for him.”

As she spoke, she looked at her sister Shen Yiren with concern, handing the infant to her.

However, just then, she suddenly noticed traces of blood between the fingers of the infant’s small, fisted right hand.

“What is this?”

Not only her, but Shen Baishuang nearby also noticed the faint bloodstains and quickly grasped the infant’s fist to open it.

“Don’t move!”

Shen Jianjia immediately stopped her, a plum blossom mark swirling between her eyebrows, and her eyes shimmered with blue-crystal starlight.

“Sister?”

Shen Yiren also looked at her son’s tender little fist, not knowing what was happening.

“It’s nothing. This child has an Innate Immortal Bone that hasn’t fully integrated yet, so he was born with clotted blood in his hand.”

Shen Jianjia’s graceful and majestic beautiful face now wore a charming smile as she spoke.

Possessing a Yuan Magnetic Body, this child’s talent could only be considered excellent.

But in addition to the Yuan Magnetic Body, to also be born with clotted blood in his hand, then his talent was not a simple one plus one equals two.

Especially when such a Spirit Body coexists with an Immortal Bone, if he Cultivates to a certain Realm in the future, he can attempt to refine them into one, further enhancing his Foundation and Origin.

“Immortal Bone, not fully integrated yet?”

Shen Baishuang and Shen Yiren’s expressions instantly turned joyful upon hearing this.

Because it wasn’t fully integrated, either the child had Innate damage, or the child’s Immortal Bone was too powerful and needed to slowly integrate as he grew.

And the child before them, having received numerous Heaven And Earth Treasures in the womb, how could he possibly have Innate damage?

Moreover, if he had Innate damage, how could he hold such clotted blood in his hand!

“Baby…”

Shen Yiren, with a weak face, looked at her son in her arms, feeling somewhat dazed, never expecting to become a mother just like that.

After watching for a moment, she suddenly looked at her older sister Shen Jianjia and softly said, “Sister, please give the child a name.”

It is said that an elder sister is like a mother, and she had always deeply respected her sister Shen Jianjia, so she directly gave the naming right of the child to her sister.

Shen Jianjia pondered for a moment and said, “Since that is the case, let him be called — Yuanming.”

“Yuan, the essence of goodness, the Origin of all things, also refers to the Yuan Magnetic Body, the eldest Young Master of our Goddess Palace.”

“Ming, the vast, unfathomable ocean, subtly aligns with the mystical destiny of being born with clotted blood, and also signifies that he can control the boundless ocean in the future.”

Shen Jianjia looked at the child in Shen Yiren’s arms and slowly said.

“Yuanming, Shen Yuanming…”

Shen Baishuang and Shen Yiren uttered the name, subconsciously adding their three sisters’ surname, Shen.

As for Lu Changsheng…

Not to mention they didn’t know Lu Changsheng’s true name.

Besides Shen Yiren vaguely remembering the latter’s words when he left, that he would come to propose marriage and marry her after reaching Nascent Soul.

Shen Jianjia and Shen Baishuang subconsciously regarded this child as their Shen Family Bloodline, completely disregarding the Xuanmu Daoist who might return in the future.

The Five-Colored Spirit Deer beside them also let out ‘yo-yo’ deer calls, celebrating and congratulating its little master’s birth.

At this moment, in the Eternal Night Land.

Forbidden Mountain, deep within the Demon Abyss.

Lu Changsheng, Tihun Beast, and Qian Zhuyan were fighting a Four-Rank Puppet幽 Demon.

After more than half a year of Sealing Demon, the Devilish Qi in the entire Demon Abyss had visibly receded significantly.

Previously, streaks of pitch-black light pillars, like raging Nine Nether pythons, that impacted the sky, were now covered by auspicious colorful clouds like smoke and mist.

“Boom boom boom!!!”

Although the demons in the entire Demon Abyss were firmly suppressed by the Formation, with only a few Four-Rank Puppet幽 Demons released by the Formation Spirit, it still caused great pressure for Lu Changsheng, the Puppet, and the beast.

“Clang!”

Just as Lu Changsheng was suppressing with the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror above his head and slashing out with the Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand, a System notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations to the Host for giving birth to thirteen Spirit Body descendants, gaining one lottery chance!]

[Detecting conflicting Spirit Body effects in the Host, do you wish to choose Fusion?]

“Hmm!?”

The sudden System notification and the faint Spiritual Root pulsation made Lu Changsheng instantly realize that the child from over four years ago had been born.

For all these years, he had been waiting for this child’s birth, wanting to see who the child’s mother was.

However, the higher the Cultivation, the more unpredictable a mother’s pregnancy becomes, often taking two or three years, or even longer.

“I hope the child’s mother is Yiren.”

Lu Changsheng’s heart tightened, and he secretly prayed.

Even Shen Baishuang would be acceptable, he just feared the child’s mother was the Six Paths Demonic Consort.

“Master!”

Combat situations change constantly. Just as Lu Changsheng was slightly distracted, the幽 Demon he was suppressing immediately flew over. Qian Zhuyan quickly called out and blocked in front of him.

Four-Rank Puppet power erupted with a roar, forming a terrifying strong wind that intercepted the幽 Demon in front of them.

After refining most of the Four-Rank Soul Crystal, Qian Zhuyan successfully advanced to a true Four-Rank Puppet!

However, the Eternal Night Land still had some impact on her, preventing her from easily deploying Puppet battle Formations as she would in the outside world.

Moreover, her Puppet power was limited, and she had always been in a supporting role.

Lu Changsheng regained his focus. The Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror above his head shot out a Sun Profound Light, and his Great Luo Sword Embryo also cut out with a clang, its brilliant sword light shining like heavenly light illuminating the nine continents.

Even though Yun Wanchang, not far away, had seen Lu Changsheng draw his sword countless times, each time she saw the Great Luo Sword Light, she was still amazed and wanted to ask him for guidance on the Dao of the Sword.

However, her remaining shred of dignity made her somewhat unwilling to humble herself and ask Lu Changsheng for guidance.

And she vaguely saw that Lu Changsheng’s Sword Intent was related to the Sword Embryo in his hand, so to avoid suspicion, she didn’t ask too much.

A moment later, under the dual suppression of Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan, the Tihun Beast, in its combat form, roared, and a vast soul-devouring divine light surged, drawing the幽魔 into its nose and mouth.

“Senior.”

Lu Changsheng immediately called out to the Formation Spirit in the abyss, indicating that they needed to rest.

Then, he returned to the Formation pattern, smiled gently at Yun Wanchang, sat cross-legged, and silently chanted “System” in his heart.

Yun Wanchang was a little surprised that Lu Changsheng didn’t hold her hand and talk as he usually did, but she didn’t mind and focused on the situation at hand.

Although this kind of Demon Sealing was incredibly monotonous and boring, she had gradually adapted to it after so many years in the Eternal Night Land.

“It really is Yiren!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Family interface, and the mother of the child column showed Shen Yiren, making him breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, if the child’s mother were Shen Baishuang or the Six Paths Demonic Consort, he really wouldn’t know how to handle it.

“Name: Shen Yuanming”

“Lifespan: 1 / 101”

“Talent: Earthly Spiritual Root, Yuan Magnetic Body (High-Grade Spirit Body)”

“Cultivation: None”

“Talent: Medical Skill Compatibility (50%)”

Lu Changsheng looked at the panel in front of him and immediately knew that Shen Yiren had given birth to a son.

Although the son’s surname was Shen, as the father of hundreds of children, Lu Changsheng didn’t care much.

After all, Shen Yiren’s three sisters were all women, so it didn’t matter if this son’s surname was Shen.

“It’s actually the Yuan Magnetic Body.”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed when he saw his son’s Spirit Body.

He had spent a lot of time researching Spirit Bodies in his early years, so he naturally knew about the Yuan Magnetic Body.

This belonged to a very top-tier High-Grade Spirit Body, capable of naturally mastering Magnetic Force.

Magnetic Force, a power not within the Five Elements, yet capable of restraining the Five Elements.

Especially against Flying Sword and other metal-element Magical Artifacts, it had a great suppressive effect.

However, this Spirit Body also had a drawback: top-tier Legacy were extremely rare.

It was even rarer than Space Spirit Bodies.

For example, in his early years, he had a grandson named Lu XuanChong who possessed the 【Empty Spirit Body】, but even after searching for a long time through Great Dream Immortal City, he only obtained a minor Cultivation Technique, and it was still an incomplete scroll.

As for top-tier Magnetic Cultivation Technique, he had hardly heard of any.

“The child’s aunt is the Master of Goddess Palace on Penglai Island; she should know about the Magnetic Legacy.”

Lu Changsheng wasn’t worried about this son’s Cultivation Technique Legacy problem.

Not to mention that the child had just been born, so there was no rush to Cultivate.

Given his background, he wouldn’t lack Cultivation Technique.

“What’s wrong?”

Yun Wanchang noticed Lu Changsheng’s subtle change in expression, thinking he had been affected by the 幽魔 just now.

“Nothing, just a sudden realization.”

Lu Changsheng smiled at Yun Wanchang, not rushing to integrate the Yuan Magnetic Body into his Chaos Body, and began to converse with her.

As the saying goes, familiarity breeds affection.

In this Eternal Night Demon Abyss, only the two of them could converse.

Moreover, their Yin-Yang Two Qi and Spiritual Energy complemented each other, producing excellent results, so there was no reason to give up.

So after all this time, apart from Yun Wanchang occasionally maintaining some poise, their relationship was somewhat like that of an ordinary old couple.

Afterward.

“System, draw.”

Although Lu Changsheng no longer valued ordinary draws, being in the Eternal Night Land, he still hoped to draw something that would be helpful to him.

Besides, having a draw afterward made him feel much happier.

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Immortal Bone: Baidu Biling Bone!”

“Reward has been issued to the System Space; Host can view it at any time.”

A colorful arm bone pattern emerged from the draw盘, accompanied by a System prompt sound.

“Immortal Bone!?”

Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat.

He naturally knew about Immortal Bone, which was a beautiful name for a talented Bloodline and mutated organ.

For example, after he consumed the 【Divine Treasure Pill】 and opened the Kidney Divine Treasure, his current kidney could be understood as a type of Immortal Bone.

The Nine Treasures Wishful Bone, his son Lu Ping’an’s Great Wilderness Dragon Spine, and even his son Lu Lingxiao’s hand bone could all be called Immortal Bone.

Even his son Lu Lingxiao’s eyes were a mutation, but they hadn’t reached the point of being called Immortal Bone.

He didn’t expect to obtain an Immortal Bone from an ordinary draw.

“Baidu Biling Bone”

“Grade: Third Rank”

“Description: An Immortal Bone forged by Biling True Lord by refining nine hundred and ninety-nine kinds of highly potent poisons. It can immunize, neutralize, and absorb various poisons, and when casting poison techniques, the power of the poison can be increased by thirty percent. Due to the Immortal Bone circulating multiple times after Biling True Lord’s death, its grade dropped to Third Rank. It can be slowly nurtured with potent poisons to increase its grade.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Immortal Bone’s description and thought it was pretty good.

Although he couldn’t use it himself, it was still very practical for most Cultivator.

It could immunize, neutralize, and absorb poisons.

For Cultivator who practiced poison arts, having this bone would further enhance the power and effect of their poison techniques.

“It was cultivated by a Nascent Soul True Lord before, causing its grade to drop. It can be improved by nurturing it with potent poisons. In that case, can Xiao’er’s Immortal Bone also be further improved?”

Lu Changsheng saw the last sentence of the System’s description and thought of the 【Myriad Dharma Universal Bone】 his son had obtained in a Secret Realm in his early years. He secretly pondered, planning to study it thoroughly after returning.

As for this Baidu Biling Bone, he could consider giving it to his wife Meng Xiaochun, or his daughter Lu Jiangtang, whom he hadn’t met yet.

As for his daughter Lu Mengchan, she was not in his consideration.

Not to mention that she possessed the Eradication Poison Body and was immune to all poisons, this daughter’s personality would simply be a waste.

Time flew by, and another year passed without him noticing.

During these days, Lu Changsheng either sealed demons or conversed and Cultivated with Yun Wanchang.

And after their cumulative Demon Sealing over time, the surface of the Demon Abyss now only had a faint Devilish Qi pervading it, unlike the deep, dead silence and thick, watery consistency it had before.

“Young friend, you have worked hard these days. The remaining demonic beasts are not something you can solve and clear.”

That day, from the depths of the Demon Abyss, an old voice spoke to Lu Changsheng.

After Lu Changsheng’s long period of Demon Sealing, its condition seemed to have improved somewhat, no longer as weak as it was at the beginning.

“So, Senior, what do you mean?”

Lu Changsheng’s eyebrows immediately raised upon hearing this.

Although this Demon Sealing yielded many Soul Crystals, he still wanted to leave as soon as possible.

“If the young friend wishes to leave, this old man can send you away, but this old man has an impertinent request…”

The old voice slowly said.

“You know it’s an impertinent request, yet you still say it?”

Lu Changsheng felt speechless, but he still respectfully cupped his hands and said, “Senior, please speak.”

“There are still many Four-Rank 幽魔 in the depths of the Demon Abyss, but with the young friend’s current strength, even with the power of the Formation, it is difficult to resolve them.”

“So I want to ask the young friend to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul and then come here again to help seal the demons. If possible, it would be best to invite a Formation Grandmaster to help repair this Demon Sealing Formation.”

The old voice said to Lu Changsheng, its voice filled with regret.

If both Lu Changsheng and this Punishment Beast were in the Nascent Soul Stage, then its pressure could be greatly alleviated.

“Alright.”

Although there wasn’t much benefit to sealing demons, the Soul Crystals from these 幽魔 were quite good for Lu Changsheng, being rare Spirit Medicine that could help the Tihun Beast grow.

After Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, if he had nothing else to do, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t mind bringing the Tihun Beast to help seal the demons.

Moreover, through these years of Demon Sealing, he also roughly understood that once the Demon Sealing Formation was broken, this Eternal Night Land would turn into a Demonic Land.

At that time, the 幽魔 or other demonic creatures coming through the spatial passage would begin to leave this place and wreak havoc elsewhere.

Although Lu Changsheng was not a Saint, if he had the ability, he was still willing to do good deeds within his capacity.

After speaking, Lu Changsheng asked, “Senior, we came to the Eternal Night Land because we encountered a ghost ship. If we want to come here again in the future, how should we do it?”

In the depths of the Demon Abyss, a majestic and stout Qilin, nearly ten feet tall, appeared, treading on auspicious clouds.

It spat out a Five-Colored Jade Slip and said, “My memory is incomplete, and I don’t know about the ghost ship you mentioned.”

“However, as a Formation Spirit, I do understand a bit of the Dao of Formations. This Jade Slip records some Formation insights and a Formation.”

“In the future, you can use this Jade Slip as a medium to set up a Formation and come to the Sealed Demon Ground.”

After speaking, it spat out another egg-sized, crystal-clear, flowing blood jade, like a red agate divine marrow, and continued, “This is the old man’s Blood Marrow. Its effect is dozens of times better than the previous essence blood. It is the best reward the old man can give you now.”

“Young friend, you have contributed to Demon Sealing. After leaving this place, you will also receive the blessing of the unseen Heaven And Earth Luck. If you wish to Breakthrough your Realm, you can seize this opportunity.”

“This Blood Marrow can also be used as a Spirit Object.”

The old voice said to Lu Changsheng.

“Thank you, Senior! When this Junior Breakthrough to Nascent Soul and possesses sufficient strength, I will definitely come to assist Senior in sealing the demons!”

Although the reward was only a drop of Blood Marrow, Lu Changsheng could clearly feel the vast essence contained within this Blood Marrow, and there was even an indescribable sacred and auspicious Qi.

He knew that such Blood Marrow required the expenditure of Origin to condense; it was incomparable to essence blood.

However, he had always had a question: wasn’t the old man in front of him a Formation Spirit?

Why would it have essence blood, and even such Blood Marrow?

Could it be that the core of this Great Formation, the Formation Spirit, was a Fourth-Rank or even Fifth-Rank Qilin?

His gaze fell upon the core depths of the Demon Abyss, shrouded in black mist, vaguely visible, connecting to many Formation patterns in the Demon Abyss, resembling a Qilin-shaped mountain.

“Thank you for your trouble, young friend.”

The old voice slowly sounded, seemingly a bit tired.

Then the Qilin transformed into a ball of Five-Colored glow, enveloping Lu Changsheng, Yun Wanchang, and Qian Zhuyan, like a Five-Colored heavenly light, piercing through the dark night sky and disappearing.
