427: Chapter 427 Gu Qingxue is Pregnant

"Qingxue, what has made you so happy? To think you would personally come to this dull Forbidden Ground in the back mountains to find me."

Lu Yuan greeted her with a smile, naturally reaching out to gently wrap his hand around her slender waist and pull her softly into his embrace.

Gu Qingxue leaned against Lu Yuan's chest, her cheeks uncontrollably flushing with a moving crimson hue.

She lowered her head slightly, placing a fair, jade-like palm over her still-flat lower abdomen. Her voice was soft, as if afraid of disturbing something, yet it carried an irrepressible excitement: "Husband, I... I am with child."

"What?"

Even Lu Yuan, who wouldn't blink if Mount Tai collapsed before him, felt like he had been struck by lightning the moment he heard those words; his eyes widened abruptly.

After a brief moment of shock, wild joy erupted in his heart like a volcano, causing even his voice to tremble slightly with excitement.

His current cultivation was that of a Golden Immortal! In this vast Daluo Heaven, a Golden Immortal was already a supreme powerhouse who had jumped out of the Three Realms and was no longer within the Five Elements. His life level had long since transcended the mundane to an incredibly high degree.

The Heavenly Dao is clear: the more powerful a being is, the more difficult it is to reproduce and give birth to offspring, comparable to a Mortal trying to ascend to heaven.

Many Golden Immortal powerhouses have spent hundreds of thousands of years and taken countless concubines without being able to leave behind a single trace of their Bloodline.

To think that under such infinitesimal odds, Qingxue actually became pregnant! This was simply a miracle bestowed by heaven!

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his surging emotions.

Carefully, and even with a hint of reverence, he separated a faint, gentle wave from his vast and boundless Divine Sense and probed it through Gu Qingxue's abdomen.

There, within the mother's warm place of nurturing, Lu Yuan clearly perceived a weak life fluctuation—like a flickering candle in the wind, yet pure to the extreme and full of vibrant vitality—quietly gestating.

What shocked Lu Yuan even more was that as his Divine Sense drew closer, he discovered to his horror that within this weak life fluctuation, two supreme Origin auras were naturally intertwined—the Taiyin Origin, which was the ultimate yin and softness, and the Chaos Origin, which embraced and assimilated all things!

These two Origin powers were not repelling each other; instead, they were perfectly fused in an incredibly mysterious way, forming the prototype of an unblossomed Taiyin Chaos Dao Lotus.

"What talent! Possessing the dual Origins of Taiyin and Chaos, this Aptitude is not even inferior to Lier's Innate Chaos Body. In time, she will surely shock the entire Immortal Realm!" Lu Yuan exclaimed inwardly. Moreover, judging from the faint Divine Soul prototype emanating from the life fluctuation, it possessed a soft and delicate Soul quality.

"It's a girl."

Lu Yuan carefully withdrew that strand of Divine Sense, afraid of disturbing the sleeping little life.

He looked up, gazing fixedly at Gu Qingxue. His deep eyes were now filled with inseparable tenderness and anticipation as he laughed loudly: "Good! Fantastic! Heaven has blessed me; I, Lu Yuan, have a daughter!"

He pondered for a moment, his deep gaze seemingly piercing through endless years to see a future peerless goddess standing proudly at the Peak of the starry sky in snow-white clothes. He laughed heartily: "Since it's a girl, let's call her Lu Qingcheng. I hope my daughter will be peerless in grace, her single sword toppling cities, making the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands fall for her!"

"Lu Qingcheng... A Single Sword Topples Cities... A good name." Gu Qingxue repeated the name over and over, her eyes shimmering with tears—the overflowing light of motherhood and happiness.

"Qingxue, you have achieved such an unprecedented feat for my Qingyun Dao Sect. As your husband, I must naturally reward you handsomely!"

Lu Yuan was in high spirits and couldn't help but let out a loud laugh toward the sky.

He flipped his palm, and a brilliant light immediately burst from it. Accompanied by a refreshing and rich immortal fragrance that made one feel like they were ascending to immortality with just one breath, a top-grade Medicinal Pill the size of a longan, surrounded by purple-gold pill patterns, appeared in his hand.

Around this pill, there were even faint visible Phenomena of dancing cranes and circling true Dragons.

"This is a rare taiyi golden pill." Lu Yuan handed the pill to Gu Qingxue and explained warmly: "After you reach the Peak of Profound Immortal, consume this pill. The supreme power of creation contained within can help you directly break through that layer of world barrier, condense the eternal Immortal Golden Nature, and ascend to the Golden Immortal Dao in one leap!"

Looking at the taiyi golden pill that exuded fatal temptation and an alluring immortal fragrance, Gu Qingxue was moved beyond words.

As the Matriarch of the Qingyun Dao Sect, she naturally knew what a Heaven-Defying divine item this taiyi golden pill was. Its required Materials were so harsh and its refining methods so complex that even if one searched the entire Daluo Heaven, they probably wouldn't find more than a few.

This was definitely a supreme treasure enough to make countless Profound Immortals fight to the death and cause a bloodbath.

"Thank you for your deep love, Husband."

This time, Gu Qingxue did not decline as she usually did.

She reached out her jade hand and solemnly took the pill. In her heart, she knew very well that in this cruel cultivation world, only by truly breaking her shackles and becoming stronger—stepping into the Golden Immortal realm—could she have enough power to face future storms and better protect this precious and gifted child in her womb without fail.

After settling Gu Qingxue, who was preparing for a Breakthrough in seclusion, Lu Yuan straightened his robes, left the back mountain secret room, and went straight to the majestic and grand main hall of the Qingyun Dao Sect.

Inside the hall, nine white jade pillars carved with five-clawed golden dragons supported the dome, exuding a solemn atmosphere.

Just as Lu Yuan sat down on the purple-gold divine throne symbolizing the Sect Master's authority, a gust of fragrant wind blew in, and Su Yueli walked in with elegant steps.

Today, she wore a tight-fitting black brocade robe that perfectly outlined her figure. Her long, narrow, beautiful eyes sparkled with shrewdness and capability, and she held a gold-stamped invitation that emitted a faint fluctuation of magical power.

"Husband, this is an urgent invitation sent from Taiyi Immortal City, hundreds of millions of miles away."

Su Yueli walked to the center of the hall and handed over the extraordinary invitation with both hands, her tone carrying a clear sense of doubt and vigilance: "It was sent jointly by those two behemoths, the Taiyi Immortal Sect and the Taixuan Immortal Sect."

"The invitation says that their two sects are taking the lead in organizing a massive Prodigy exchange competition, inviting the younger generation from all top forces in Daluo Heaven to participate."

"When things are abnormal, there must be foul play. They even specifically named our Qingyun Dao Sect's Young Sect Master, Lu Li, in the invitation, strongly inviting him to attend and compete."

"Oh? A Prodigy exchange competition?"

Lu Yuan casually took the gold-stamped invitation. He didn't even bother to open it; his vast Divine Sense swept over it, taking in all the contents instantly.
