129: One year! Promoted to the Grand Commander! The baby girl is born

"Child..."

Hearing Gu Fei's words, Xiao Yi Xian was momentarily stunned. Then, her pretty face lit up with excitement, and she exclaimed, "I'm pregnant?... We're going to have a child?"

[Xiao Yi Xian feels immense joy, emotional value +100]

Xiao Yi Xian excitedly grabbed Gu Fei's hand and reconfirmed, "Brother Gu Fei, am I really pregnant?"

"It's true!"

Gu Fei's surprise was beyond words, and his voice unconsciously grew louder. Everyone Cultivating in the Bamboo House was startled awake and came to the Gu Fei Peak, seeing Gu Fei's surprised expression.

"Is there something happy happening?" Zi Yan skipped out.

"Xiao Yi Xian is pregnant!" Gu Fei excitedly announced the news to everyone.

Pregnancy wasn't a concept Zi Yan and Qing Lin fully grasped yet; they only knew it was the process of nurturing a Life.

Caier, however, understood very clearly that Gu Fei and Xiao Yi Xian had their love's crystallization, something they would cherish for their entire lives.

As she thought, Caier also touched her own belly, feeling a bit envious of Xiao Yi Xian.

Venerable Skyfire and Lion King arrived, offering their congratulations to Xiao Yi Xian and Gu Fei.

"Is Sister Xiao Yi Xian going to give birth to a little Brother Gu Fei?"

Zi Yan's words made everyone burst into laughter, but Zi Yan was unconcerned.

She pressed her ear to Xiao Yi Xian's belly, listening for the voice of "little Brother Gu Fei."

Huo Zhi, meanwhile, watched Gu Fei and the others from a distance, a faint smile on her face. Here, she truly felt awkward.

After several attempts to learn the art of fire control from Gu Fei, she had also calmed her heart.

Huo Zhi knew that pestering him would not only fail to win Gu Fei's favor but would also hinder her own Cultivation progress, allowing Gu Fei to leave her further and further behind.

Now, for her, returning to the Yan Realm to Cultivate was the right path.

As for Gu Fei, she could only hope they would have a connection again in the future.

So, while Gu Fei and the others weren't paying attention, she quietly left the Gu Fei Peak.

"Elder Huo Yao, we have been here for some time. It's better to return to the Clan early!"

Upon seeing Elder Huo Yao and the others again, Huo Zhi directly expressed her intentions to them.

Huo Yao expressed great satisfaction with Huo Zhi's realization. For the Elders, it was not pleasant to see the Yan Clan's Heavenly Maiden pestering an outsider.

Soon after, the Yan Clan's delegation bid farewell to the Gu Clan and all departed from the Ancient World.

And Xun'er, who had wanted to offer herself but was decisively rejected and insulted by Gu Fei, gradually began to see things more clearly.

After leaving Gu Fei Peak, she began secluded Cultivation, seeking a Breakthrough in her strength.

Therefore, for a long time to come, Gu Fei enjoyed a rare period of tranquility.

Gu Fei's life fell into a routine: daily Cultivation, accompanying Queen Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian, and occasionally spending a day with the Black Annihilation Army.

With Xiao Yi Xian pregnant, Gu Fei took the opportunity to care for her meticulously. Of course, he never neglected his own Cultivation.

In his free time, he sought ways to Breakthrough and enhance his strength.

In the blink of an eye, ten months passed, and Gu Fei's cultivation broke through to a seven-star Dou Zun.

And this year, he was only twenty years old!

A twenty-year-old seven-star Dou Zun was unheard of, even within the Gu Clan.

Gu Fei's Breakthrough caused a sensation within the Gu Clan; even Clan Chief Gu Yuan, upon hearing the news, couldn't help but take a closer look.

"It's time to take another step forward!"

Controlling four types of strange fires, wielding numerous powerful Dou Techniques, and possessing a body comparable to that of an eighth-rank ancient Demonic Beast, Gu Fei's strength was significantly ahead of the younger generation.

He did not lack talent, nor would he lack strength in the future.

As the child's due date drew nearer, Gu Fei set his sights on the position of Grand Commander of the Black Annihilation Army.

The Black Annihilation Army consisted of one King, four Commanders, and eight Leaders. Becoming a Grand Commander of the Black Annihilation Army would mean that his status within the Gu Clan could truly be on par with some Elders.

Thus, Gu Fei chose an opportune moment and challenged Gu Shi Yi, the former Grand Commander of the Black Annihilation Army, an eight-star Dou Zun.

"You have already advanced to a seven-star Dou Zun at such a young age, and your strength will undoubtedly surpass mine in the future. But for now, I am still a bit stronger than you."

"Are you sure you want to challenge me?"

Gu Shi Yi was not angry when he learned that Gu Fei wanted to challenge him; instead, he tried to persuade him.

"How will we know without trying?" Gu Fei smiled faintly.

Gu Shi Yi looked at Gu Fei with admiration. He had personally watched Gu Fei rise from the seventh Leader to his current position.

Although Gu Fei was here to challenge him this time, he still held great expectations for him.

The battle between Gu Fei and Gu Shi Yi attracted many Gu Clan members to watch.

Gu Qingyang and Gu Yao also wanted to see Gu Fei's current strength.

"You say, can the current Gu Fei defeat the Grand Commander?"

Gu Qingyang asked Gu Yao.

"The Grand Commander has, after all, been an eight-star Dou Zun for a long time; the accumulation of years cannot be ignored." Gu Yao was not optimistic about Gu Fei, as there was a gap of a full star and more between them.

"I, however, think Gu Fei is someone who is good at creating miracles."

Gu Qingyang was clearly more optimistic about Gu Fei.

"The Grand Commander is no ordinary person either."

"Then let us wait and see."

Amidst everyone's anticipation, the great battle between Gu Fei and Gu Shi Yi began.

Facing Gu Fei, who was one star lower than himself, Gu Shi Yi had no intention of underestimating him.

He unleashed his full power from the start, causing Gu Fei considerable trouble.

His various Dou Techniques were quite impressive, and he used them more proficiently than Gu Fei, each move carrying terrifying pressure.

Gu Fei appeared to be suppressed by Gu Shi Yi, but in reality, he was looking for an opportunity.

In terms of Dou Qi, Gu Shi Yi was, after all, one star stronger than him; in quantity, he was not an opponent. So Gu Fei was looking for an opportunity for a burst!

Finally, after constant entanglement, Gu Fei seized the moment.

Four types of strange fires erupted simultaneously, and the terrifying, surging flames raised the temperature around the entire arena by several degrees, almost shattering the protective barrier.

In front of Gu Fei's full power, Gu Shi Yi had no chance to retaliate.

After a fierce battle, he still could not avoid the outcome of defeat.

"It seems my judgment was better."

Gu Qingyang said with a smile.

After defeating Grand Commander Gu Shi Yi, Gu Fei officially became the new Grand Commander of the Black Annihilation Army.

"Everyone, I have something else to attend to; I'll take my leave first!"

Gu Fei did not linger to bask in the glory, because Xiao Yi Xian's due date was approaching. For the next few days, he chose to stay on the Gu Fei Peak and go nowhere else.

During the previous ten months, Caier and the others had not neglected their Cultivation either.

With the Medicinal Pills refined by Gu Fei, Caier successfully underwent the Soul Fusion with the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.

Her cultivation also directly entered the ranks of a five-star Dou Zong.

Because Xiao Yi Xian was pregnant, a significant portion of the Heaven and Earth energy she absorbed each day was used to nourish the fetus in her womb, so her Cultivation speed was relatively slower.

Even so, thanks to the powerful Cultivation speed of the Calamity Poison Body, her cultivation also climbed to the five-star Dou Emperor Rank.

Although Zi Yan was a bit lazy, her cultivation also increased to the sixth-rank Late Stage, and it was estimated that she would soon truly enter the seventh-rank.

In a blink of an eye, another seven days passed.

During those seven days, watching Xiao Yi Xian's belly grow little by little, Gu Fei's heart grew more and more anxious, and also a bit nervous, as this was his first time being a father in two lifetimes.

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Gu Fei in front of her and gently held his hand.

"It's alright, it's just giving birth to a child. How could I, a dignified Dou Emperor, die just from giving birth to a child?!"

Xiao Yi Xian joked, alleviating Gu Fei's pressure, but Gu Fei suddenly felt a lot of cold sweat on Xiao Yi Xian's palm.

At the same time, her delicate brows furrowed, and her face turned pale, appearing to be in great pain.
