156: Am I a son?

“Could it be Senior Sister Dream Butterfly?” Jiang Qinqin guessed.

“Very likely.” Qi Liang nodded slightly, knowing in his heart it was Fang Xiang.

“Indeed, among the remaining people, Dream Butterfly is the strongest. It should be her,” Tu Wanshan agreed.

He also knew it definitely wasn't Dream Butterfly, because the token in his hand was snatched from Dream Butterfly, and as for Dream Butterfly…

She had already turned into a puddle of flesh and blood.

Of course, he couldn't admit that he killed Dream Butterfly. After all, Dream Butterfly was Flower Maiden’s Disciple. Admitting it would mean needlessly offending Flower Maiden. Although he wasn't afraid, there was no need.

Xu Sanyan shook his head secretly, sensing the Heart Demon getting closer, knowing it was Fang Xiang who returned, but he said nothing.

“Clang~!”

Colorful clouds drifted, and a bronze bell resonated. Flower Maiden rose and looked out. A figure walked up from the mountain, and the first thing that caught her eye was a dazzling bald head.

Flower Maiden sighed deeply, her gaze gently sweeping over Jiang Qinqin. No matter what, Hehe Mountain finally had a Saint, even if it wasn't the one she had chosen.

“Five Fortunes Reach the Heavens, Saint Returns to Position.”

Venerable He Yu spoke loudly. His Blood Refinement Lineage became the biggest winner, with two Saints coming from his Blood Refinement Mountain.

At this point, the Saint Child Competition officially concluded.

Xu Sanyan, Jiang Qinqin, Tu Wanshan, Qi Liang, and Fang Xiang, these five became the second-generation Saints of the Tongxin Demon Sect.

“Greetings, Saints!”

Aside from the three Hall Masters, whether they were Elders of the Mystic Path Realm or Elders of the Soul Refinement Realm, all rose and bowed.

Everyone knew that although these five were currently at the Foundation Establishment Completion Realm, they would soon no longer be, and would Breakthrough to the Mystic Path Realm and reach the Soul Refinement Realm at an extremely fast pace.

This was the terrifying aspect of the Saintly Book; it could allow one to quickly pass through the Mystic Path Realm!

The Mystic Path Realm had unknowingly blocked countless Heavenly Talents. For example, Qin Manyang, who had been stuck there for decades with no progress, was forced to descend the mountain to seek an Opportunity.

Xu Sanyan felt a slight anticipation in his heart. He had been stuck at Foundation Establishment Completion for a long time due to the lack of subsequent Cultivation Techniques, and now he was finally about to enter the next stage.

The three Hall Masters rose simultaneously. The Mad Daoist waved his sleeve, and the five were enveloped by his magical power and flew into the distance.

Xu Sanyan looked at the ground beneath his feet, feeling a little envious. He also wanted to fly.

However, flying through the air consumed a great deal of magical power. One would need at least Soul Refinement Realm cultivation to use aerial movement as a regular method; even the Mystic Path Realm would probably not suffice.

Fang Xiang glanced at Xu Sanyan, his eyes subconsciously showing some fear.

Xu Sanyan returned a slight smile. He knew this was the effect of the Heart Demon. Now that the Heart Demon had integrated into his heart, it was difficult to strip away. As long as Fang Xiang saw him, he would instinctively feel timid.

The three Hall Masters led everyone to a corner of Tongxin Mountain, setting the five down. Xu Sanyan looked around, his gaze fixed on a cave.

Venerable He Yu spoke towards the cave, “Crane Yu of Blood Refinement Mountain, Mad Daoist of Red Dragon Mountain, Flower Maiden of Hehe Mountain, along with five newly promoted Saints, are here to observe the Saintly Book.”

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and pulled out a token, which floated directly into the cave. Not long after, the token flew out, and at the same time, an aged voice emerged, “Come in.”

Crane Yu said to the five, “Go, the Saintly Book is inside. Just keep walking in; there’s no need to worry.”

“Yes.” The five nodded in agreement, not understanding why Venerable He Yu would give such an instruction.

Xu Sanyan pondered. When he went to Wenxin Hall before, there was an old man guarding it. There was also one here, and the three Hall Masters were very respectful to both of these old men. Their strength should be extraordinary.

It seemed the strength of the Tongxin Demon Sect was far more than what was apparent. Besides the Sect Master and the three Hall Masters, there were many other powerful individuals hidden in various places.

Xu Sanyan shook his head. There was no need to consider these for now. Learning the Saintly Book was the priority.

The five entered in single file.

As soon as they entered, their vision immediately darkened. Xu Sanyan looked at the other four and found that they were also full of caution, likely their first time here as well.

As they went deeper, the cave became narrower, and the five could only walk in a single file. Xu Sanyan was in the second position, with Jiang Qinqin in front.

“It’s so dark…” Jiang Qinqin whispered to herself.

With the strength of the five, they could already see in the dark. For them, there was no difference between night and day.

But the darkness in this cave was unusual. Xu Sanyan could barely make out Jiang Qinqin's back in front of him.

“Are you… still there?” Jiang Qinqin’s hesitant voice came from beside Xu Sanyan’s ear.

“Mm.” Xu Sanyan responded softly.

“Here.” This was Tu Wanshan’s voice.

“Ah.” This was Fang Xiang.

After waiting a moment, he didn't hear Qi Liang respond.

“Where’s Senior Brother Qi Liang?” Jiang Qinqin asked in a low voice.

Fang Xiang said, “He was just following behind me.”

Tu Wanshan spoke, “Don’t be afraid. My father and the others are outside, and this is in our own Sect. What could happen? Let’s go.”

“Mm…”

The others thought about it and agreed, then walked forward with peace of mind.

Xu Sanyan listened as one more set of footsteps disappeared, slowly leaving only the sound of his own.

The five had dispersed at some unknown point.

Xu Sanyan strode forward, and a glimmer of light gradually appeared before his eyes. The deeper he went, the brighter the light became, slowly becoming somewhat dazzling.

Xu Sanyan endured the blinding white light, squinting his eyes to look, wanting to see what it was.

Suddenly, he seemed to step into empty space, and his entire body rapidly fell, plunging into a passage.

The drastic sense of falling made one's heart tremble. Xu Sanyan subconsciously flailed his arms, wanting to grab something to slow his descent, but it was all in vain.

After an unknown amount of time…

When he opened his eyes again, his perspective had changed. Two milky-white, glistening breasts appeared before his eyes. Xu Sanyan was stunned for a moment.

Who am I?

Where is this?

What’s going on?

Xu Sanyan only felt his brain was a mess. He couldn't remember what had happened. He only remembered that he… shouldn't be here.

“Good baby, time to eat.”

A gentle voice pulled his thoughts back. Xu Sanyan swallowed, instinctively bringing his mouth closer and beginning to feed.

While his lips were sucking, he looked up. A young girl's face appeared above him. She looked to be at most twenty years old, her hair was tied up at the back of her head in a married woman's style, and her appearance was quite ordinary. Only her eyes were somewhat pretty, and they were currently looking at him with a loving expression.

Xu Sanyan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but only “wah wah” sounds came out.

He… had turned into a baby?

Xu Sanyan felt this was very illogical, yet he couldn't recall exactly what was illogical about it.

Hearing her son’s cries, the girl frowned in confusion, lifted Xu Sanyan’s bottom to check, and muttered to herself, “Huh, he didn’t poop. What’s wrong?”

A man’s voice came from outside the house, “Wife, I’m back! Let me see our eldest son.”

Xu Sanyan froze. The eldest son this person mentioned, it couldn't be… him, could it?
