Chen Xuan looked at the small piece of black stone in his hand.
Just a moment of contact, and he felt its peculiarity, containing an extremely pure energy.
Very similar to the Spiritual Raindrops given to him by the Golden Dragon before.
But countless times purer than the Spiritual Raindrops.
"Your Majesty, this is....?"
Chen Xuan looked up at Xia Yi.
"World Spirit Stone!"
Xia Yiâs tone was very weak, barely able to breathe smoothly after just a short moment.
"Let me be brief; this World Spirit Stone contains the essence of the World Spirit of the Human Realm. After wearing it, the Purity Body will actively absorb its energy!"
"Butâ"
"Huff huff huff...."
Xia Yiâs face was pale, taking several deep breaths before speaking slowly,
"What I need to tell you is that when you head to the Supreme Domain, youâll need the World Spirit Stone to pass through the passage. Thereâs only this one piece in the entire Human Realm, so it cannot be lost!"
"Moreover, once the Purity Body absorbs part of the energy, your danger will increase exponentially!"
"Thatâs all I have to say. You decide how to handle it..."
He hadnât even finished the last word âhandleâ before closing his eyes, lying down again, and falling into sleep.
"Your Majesty....."
Chen Xuanâs face changed drastically, exclaiming in shock.
Spiritual Power surged out instantly, and only when he sensed that Xia Yi had merely fallen into a slumber did he finally relax.
Outside the hall.
At this moment, Xia Lingyu was anxious, her hands clenched tightly, her eyes fixed on the door of Taiji Hall.
"Why havenât they come out yet? Itâs been so long!"
She was no stranger to Xia Yiâs condition.
Regret filled her heart for letting Chen Xuan meet her father.
"Creak....."
The moment she saw the door open, Xia Lingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They were finally out.
"How is father?"
She rushed to Chen Xuan, asking urgently.
"Heâs alright, already asleep!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Lingyuâs anxious heart was finally at ease.
"Thank you, I need to head back now. When the time comes, Iâm going!"
"Hmm!"
Xia Lingyu nodded, although he had never expressed it, she was actually convinced that Chen Xuan would go to the Supreme Domain, and he was the only one in the Nine Provinces who could go!
"Also, if thereâs anything, come to Youlan Mansion immediately to inform me!"
She said as she glanced towards Taiji Hall.
Xia Yiâs condition was indeed very bad and he could leave at any moment.
After Chen Xuan left, Xia Lingyu stood before the entrance of Taiji Hall for a long time, reluctant to leave.
"Father.... you really...."
Her eyes were red, but she didnât let the tears flow. As the Princess of Great Xia, the heir of Great Xia, she mustnât cry under any circumstances.
This was her fatherâs requirement of her.
"Hooâ"
She took a long breath.
The sadness on her face faded, and she became resolute.
"Father, YuâEr will definitely make Great Xia thrive, ensuring a century of peace!"
....
"Iâm back!"
Chen Xuanâs figure appeared directly in the rear hall.
"How was it?"
Su Wanqiu immediately asked, more anxious than Su Yun.
Though she usually seemed strict with this sister, she actually cared for her more than Chen Xuan did.
These days, not only was Su Yun unable to sleep through the night, but she was also the same.
"Itâs alright now!"
"Phew, thatâs good, thatâs good..... Ancestors of the Chen Family bless us....."
Su Wanqiu patted her chest, mumbling incessantly.
"Ancestors bless us, perhaps...."
Chen Xuan murmured to himself.
Then he had Su Wanqiu bring a brocade pouch, carefully placed the World Spirit Stone inside, tied it up, checked thoroughly to ensure there was no problem.
Only then did he hand it to Su Yun, instructing, "This must be kept close, do not lose it, remember! Absolutely do not lose it!"
Chen Xuan sternly admonished her.
This World Spirit Stone not only can solve her issue, but more importantly, it will be crucial when heading to the Supreme Domain.
To say itâs critical, it concerns the entire Nine Provinces!
As for the matter of absorbing its energy, making it even more dangerous once in the Supreme Domain....
Dangerous it shall be!
Though whether he reaches the Supreme Domain also matters for the Human Realm.
But he canât just ignore Su Yun and his own child, can he?
People are always selfish!
Deal with the immediate hurdle first, then speak.
"Got it, husband, YunâEr will treat this more important than my life, I wonât lose it!"
Su Yun tightly clutched the pouch in her hand.
Even though she was usually carefree, this concerned her unborn child, thereâs no way she would lose it.
"Hmm!"
Chen Xuan nodded, but still imprinted a wisp of Spiritual Power onto the pouch.
To prevent any accidents!
...
Ever since she carried the World Spirit Stone, Su Yunâs complexion improved day by day.
She could eat too.
In just a few days, she regained the weight she had lost previously, looking plumper.
This was confirmed after Chen Xuan personally checked.
Time passed quickly, and two months flew by.
The weather gradually turned cold.
And for the last half a month, it rained intermittently, causing the whole place to become damp.
Making everyone feel uncomfortable.
Because of this, Chen Xuan used his Spiritual Power to cleanse the Chen Mansion daily, ensuring not even the corners of the rooms were overlooked.
In the backyard of the Chen Mansion.
Isnât it supposed to be a sunny day today?
A few women were lying on chairs, basking in the sun, looking very relaxed.
"Sister, your belly looks like youâre about to give birth!"
Su Yun placed her hand on her sisterâs belly, gently stroking it.
Ever since she became pregnant, her personality has changed a lot, now appearing more and more like a nurturing mother.
"Yeah! Itâs soon, counting the days, itâs probably a little over a month left."
As she spoke, her eyes revealed anticipation.
Not just her, the entire Chen Mansion looked forward to the birth of this child.
Itâs simple; this child is the firstborn of the Chen Family!
If itâs a boy, then itâs the eldest son!
In this world, the status of the eldest son is different, without surprises, the future heir of the Chen Family!
As for this, Chen Xuan didnât mind.
Regardless of whether they are the eldest or not, he treats them all equally.
But even though he said this, it couldnât change their thoughts.
"Wonder if itâs going to be a boy or a girl."
Su Wanqiu said softly.
In her heart, she always hoped to give birth to a boy for Chen Xuan, someone with exceptional talent like him, who could support the Chen Family in the future, protecting his siblings.
So, often she thought about having him check whether itâs a boy or a girl.
But it had always been rejected by Chen Xuan.
In his words, the child is a gift from heaven to them; regardless of gender, he loves them.
Moreover, knowing only at the very last moment would be a kind of surprise.
Although Su Wanqiu doesnât understand much, she eventually agreed.
And not just her; the other sisters also didnât allow checking the babyâs gender.
"It must be a boy, the future pillar of the Chen Family!"
Su Yun said with great determination.
"Yes, Sister Wanqiu, it must be a boy!"
Pei Yuenan echoed.
The other women also nodded repeatedly, all believing it was a boy she carried.
"Thank you, sisters, I really hope so."
Su Wanqiu felt very happy.
She knew they were genuine, unlike other families who might be malicious or two-faced.
Being able to serve Chen Xuan together with them was her lifeâs greatest happiness.
Of course....
If it was a boy, it would be even more perfect.
In the side room.
Chen Xuan, listening to their casual chat, couldnât help but curl his lips.
But....
If itâs a girl, that would be troublesome!
"Such a hassle!"
With a gentle sigh.
"Never mind, just focus on cultivation!"
After all, it wonât be long before he heads to the Supreme Domain, and having more strength would mean more safety.
He didnât want to die on the way there.
"System!"
In his heart, he called out, and the golden panel then appeared before his eyes.
...
[Realm: Martial Cultivator: First-grade (Purity Body (level nine)), Spirit Cultivator: Tier one (Divine Soul (tier six))]
[Cultivation Technique: Nine Elements Dao Skill (Immortal Grade) (level six (197,000/3,200,000)), Myriad Manifestation Skill (level nine (126,000/2,040,000))]
[Skill Points: 3,261,000]
....
During this time, Chen Xuan had been comprehending the Myriad Manifestation Skill.
But even with the boost of luck.
Each day, the progress of the Myriad Manifestation Skill barely increased by 2,000 points.
Cannot deny that Spirit Cultivationâs difficulty is much higher than Martial Cultivationâs.
If he hadnât had the system, the progress from Divine Soul tier six to tier seven would probably take about three years.
"Upgrade Myriad Manifestation Skill!"
He shouted softly in his heart.
Suddenly, a vast sense of coolness appeared in his mind, quickly enhancing his consciousness sea.
For a Spirit Cultivator, a strong consciousness sea is crucial.
Not only can it store more Spiritual Power, but it can also better resist Spiritual Power attacks.
At the same time, the insights for the ninth level of Myriad Manifestation Skill filled his mind instantly.
Chen Xuanâs eyebrows slightly furrowed, this ninth level of Myriad Manifestation Skill truly stood out from the system simulation, much more complex than the previous levels.
It took a full seven days.
Chen Xuan finally finished digesting the insights from the ninth level of Myriad Manifestation Skill.
"Phewâ"
Slowly exhaling a breath, his gaze locked on the panel before him.
[Realm: Spirit Cultivator: Tier one (Divine Soul (tier seven))]
[Cultivation Technique: Myriad Manifestation Skill (level ten (0/4,080,000))]
[Skill Points: 1,347,000]
"Looks like Iâll only be able to reach Divine Soul tier eight when heading to the Supreme Domain!"
Chen Xuan muttered to himself.
Not only that, he had to save the skill points for the Nine Elements Dao Skill.
Even if he canât break through to Immortal Grade in the Human Realm, what if he manages during the passage to the Supreme Domain?
That would provide a better grasp on things.
Of course, itâs merely an initial plan; specifics will depend on the situation.
"Alright then, itâs time to go out!"
Shaking his head slightly, producing a cracking sound, feeling more comfortable, then left the side room.
...
In the evening, after âhaving a mealâ in the rooms of the other women, Chen Xuan finally came to Su Wanqiuâs place.
On the bed.
Chen Xuan leaned back, while Su Wanqiu lay diagonally in his embrace, and Chen Xuanâs hand rested on her round belly.
"Being obedient?"
