Time passed, and ten days had passed inside Yunlong Zhuzhai, which was equivalent to a day outside.
Yun Jingqiu had been working hard to break through, but her cultivation still hadnât. She wanted to give up and postpone her breakthrough, but Ling Yun convinced her not to delay it because it would cause problems in the future, so she decided to continue the process despite the difficulty.
Even though he wanted to enter seclusion again, Ling Yun did not leave Yun Jingqiu and accompanied her. His cultivation was indeed important because time was ticking, and many enemies awaited him in the future. However, his children were far more important to him, and he didnât want their futures to be disrupted because of their breakthrough.
âHer mutated spiritual veins are indeed troublesome, but I donât have a solution to help her, and she has to work on herself to break through to the next stage.â Ling Yun channeled his light element into Yun Jingqiuâs body to calm her down.
Feeling the flow of Ling Yunâs light element within her body, Yun Jingqiu regained her composure, and she focused her mind completely on breaking through. âFather, I donât want to be a burden to you, and I want to be useful in helping you. I will prove to you that I can make it through my breakthrough, and I will become strong in the future to help you face our enemies. I may not be able to fight the Chaos, but I can definitely fight the others.â

One month had finally passed, which was equivalent to three days in the outside world.
Ling Yun raised his eyebrows for a moment, but then he calmed down and smiled in relief, especially after he sensed the fluctuation of qi within Yun Jingqiuâs body.
As the qi within her body surged even stronger, Yun Jingqiuâs body rose into the air, and she was enveloped in a black dome made of her dark element.
At the same time, Hua Ning walked into her daughterâs room, and she was surprised by Yun Jingqiuâs condition.
Ling Yun immediately got out of bed, hugged, and kissed Hua Ning. "You donât have to worry about our daughter anymore because her breakthrough has already begun, and her cultivation will break through to the next stage once the black dome disappears."
"Iâm relieved that our daughter will break through soon because her breakthroughs are never easy, and they become increasingly difficult as her cultivation improves." Hua Ning leaned into Ling Yunâs chest. "Since our daughterâs condition has stabilized, you can continue your seclusion with your other wives, or youâll waste more time here."
"My cultivation is important, but our daughter is more important than anything else." Ling Yun hugged her. "I will wait here for her to break through, and I will continue my seclusion after she breaks through."
Hua Ning smiled upon hearing this because Ling Yun cared so much about their daughter. "Iâm happy that you care so much about our daughter, and sheâll be happy too if she knows that youâre waiting for her to complete her breakthrough."
"Qiuâer is my daughter, and I will always care for her. Moreover, sheâs different from her sisters and brothers because she was born with mutated spiritual veins, so I have to focus more of my attention on her every time she breaks through." Ling Yun turned to Ye Jing and Hua Yue, who had just arrived. He pulled them to his side and pressed a soft kiss to their lips. "You two have finally broken through again, Jingâer and Yueâer."
"Hehe." Hua Yue giggled and leaned against Ling Yunâs other chest. "Even though I also experienced difficulties during my breakthrough, it was much easier than my little sisterâs."
"Thatâs true." Ling Yun then asked Ye Jing, who was observing the black dome enveloping Yun Jingqiu. "What about you, Jingâer?"
Ye Jing turned to him with a smile. "Unlike Yue, my breakthroughs are much easier, and they get easier every time my cultivation level improves. Moreover, I donât have to go through lightning tribulations like you, so I donât experience any problems with my breakthroughs."
"Thatâs good." Ling Yun nodded in satisfaction.
Ye Jing looked at the black dome again. "How long will it take for my little sister to complete her breakthrough, husband? If Iâm not mistaken, she started her breakthrough about two months ago, right?"
"Yes." Ling Yun nodded at her. "Qiuâerâs mutated spiritual veins have always made it difficult for her to break through, but she wonât just be breaking through this time. Her demon beast form will also undergo a transformation, making her breakthrough even more difficult."
"Is her demon beast form really going to undergo a transformation, husband?" Hu Yue asked, looking at the black dome.
Ling Yun responded to her with a nod. "Even though Qiuâer is thirty-two years old, her beast form still hasnât transformed. Her demon beast form is still the same as a child, but it will change along with her breakthrough."
"I see." Hua Yue nodded in understanding because her demon beast form had already transformed once a few years ago, and she had grown even bigger when she used her demon beast form. "Iâm going back to my room now to stabilize my cultivation, Husband. Jingâer and I deliberately went out because we wanted to check on our little sister, so we havenât stabilized our cultivation after our breakthrough."
"Alright."
Ye Jing and Hu Yue immediately left Yun Jingqiuâs room, but Ling Yun and Hua Ning remained there, waiting for her to complete her breakthrough.
.

After waiting for a day, the black dome that had enveloped Yun Jingqiuâs body finally disappeared. However, what appeared before them was a dark phoenix of considerable size, filling the room with darkness.
"Your demon beast form has become bigger, Qiuâer." Ling Yun said as he stroked her phoenix head.
Yun Jingqiu thoroughly enjoyed Ling Yunâs caressing her head, and she closed her eyes and rubbed her head against his hand.
Hua Ning smiled at her daughterâs reaction and stroked her head as well. "Congratulations, Qiuâer. Your cultivation has increased by a minor level, and your demon beast form has also become larger now."
After some time, Yun Jingqiu transformed into her human form, and she hugged Ling Yun and Hua Ning. "Thank you, father and mother."
"Haha." Ling Yun laughed and hugged his second daughter. "Why are you thanking us? Youâre our daughter, so itâs our duty to accompany you in any situation."
Hua Ning also hugged their daughter and stroked her head. "Your father is right, you know? Youâre our daughter, and itâs our duty to accompany you."
"Hehehe." Yun Jingqiu giggled and kissed their cheeks. "Father, Iâm fine now, so you can continue your seclusion. Youâve already wasted a lot of time accompanying me, and I donât want you to waste any more time."
Ling Yun nodded at her. "Iâll continue my seclusion, and you should stabilize your cultivation first."
After Ling Yun left, Yun Jingqiu pulled Hua Ning to sit with her on the bed, and she spoke to her. "Can I join one of the sects out there, like my three brothers, Mother?"
"I donât know." Hua Ning let out a soft sigh and hugged her daughter. "Youâll have to discuss it with your father later, but you should not disturb him for now and let him continue his seclusion. After he finishes his seclusion, you can go see him and talk to him, and I will give you permission if he allows you to leave."
Yun Jingqiu pursed her lips, but she nodded to her mother. "Alright, Iâll wait for my father to finish his seclusion first, and Iâll talk to him after that. By the way, Iâm going to see Sister Shengxia now, and Iâll discuss this matter with her."
Hua Ning could only sigh after Yun Jingqiu ran away, leaving her alone. She actually didnât want her daughter to go anywhere and join any sect out there, but she knew she couldnât stop her if she wanted to. Moreover, she was already a grown woman, and she should be able to take responsibility for her life.
Hua Ning immediately left her room, and she went to Yi Mingxiaâs room to discuss the future of their two daughters.
.

Meanwhile, Ling Yun had returned to his room, accompanied by four of his many wives. He asked Mu Shu, Tian Yueling, Xuanyuan Xiangâer, and Xuanyuan Changâer to accompany him.
"Husband, did you ask Jingjing to talk to Tian Qinglian?" Tian Yueling asked.
Ling Yun raised an eyebrow. "Iâve been interested in Tian Qinglian for a long time, but Iâve told Jingjing not to talk to her."
Tian Yueling nodded in understanding. "Actually, Tian Qinglian has never liked any man, and sheâs completely focused on her cultivation. She joined the Eternal Spring Sect in the past for several reasons, but her main reason was her big brother."
"What does Tian Qinglianâs decision have to do with her brother?"
"Sigh." Tian Yueling sighed softly and then asked him. "If you pay attention to Tian Qinglian, her black pupils donât glow, right?"
"Thatâs right." Ling Yun nodded to her. "Ever since I first met Tian Qinglian at the Eternal Spring Sect, I felt like she was like a soulless doll." (Chapter 862-Tian Qinglian)
"Yes." Tian Yueling sighed once again. "Tian Qinglianâs big brother is too possessive, and he likes her as a woman. He killed her past lover out of jealousy, and she chose to leave our clan after that day."
