162: The queen gave birth to a son, Gu Wushuang!
Although Gu Fei could easily solve those troubles with the strength of the Ancient Clan.
However, there were clan agreements restricting the major Ancient Races, preventing those above the Four-Star Dou Sheng cultivation level from acting freely.
If the Ancient Clan made too much noise, it would inevitably attract the attention of other Ancient Races.
On the surface, the Ancient Eight Clans appeared very harmonious, but behind the scenes, they were mutually suspicious. Once any clan revealed a weakness, they might be ganged up on.
The Yan Clan, Lei Clan, and other clans, while possessing some strength, were not to be feared by the more powerful Ancient Clan. After all, Gu Yuan, a Peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng, was like a stabilizing force, enough to ensure the Ancient Clan's continued existence.
The Ancient Clan's true fear was only the Hun Clan. The Soul Clan Chief was a Peak expert of the same level as Gu Yuan, and he also had the assistance of the Void Swallowing Flame, an alien flame with Nine-Star Dou Sheng strength.
“Now, the Hun Clan's plan should be almost complete…”
Gu Fei pondered the time in his heart.
Estimating the current timeline, the Hun Clan's grand plan was almost ready.
Once the Hall of Souls collected enough Soul Origin for them, the Hun Clan would launch a reckoning against the Ancient Eight Clans.
The Hun Clan, having prepared for a millennium, possessed strength that even the Ancient Clan could not withstand alone.
Therefore, the Ancient Clan could not afford any accidents now; everything had to prioritize stability.
Moreover, they also had to try their best to stabilize the situation of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, as the Ancient Dragon Clan would also be a great help when the great war broke out in the future.
“How about this, Elder Zhu Li, you’ve been out for a while now. Why don’t you go back first and stabilize the situation on East Dragon Island? But don’t reveal Zi Yan’s situation for now…”
After a moment of thought, Gu Fei explained to Zhu Li.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Li frowned slightly, quickly pondering. Just as Gu Fei said, Zi Yan's current strength, even if she returned to the clan, would likely be unable to turn the tide.
If Zi Yan returned to the clan, no matter how much they concealed it, it would be difficult to avoid exposure.
After all, on East Dragon Island, there were still a large number of spies sent by the Three Great Dragon Kings.
If the Three Great Dragon Kings learned that the imperial Bloodline had appeared and had also absorbed the dragon phoenix origin fruit, they would inevitably covet Zi Yan.
If the three of them chose to take a risk, Zi Yan might face a dangerous situation.
What Gu Fei said was indeed the best method for now.
“Alright, then I’ll listen to you. I’m also at ease with Zi Yan staying here with you.”
Zhu Li agreed to Gu Fei’s suggestion.
Next, he prepared to leave the Ancient World alone and return to East Dragon Island.
“Has Elder Zhu Li left?”
Not long after Zhu Li left, Zi Yan appeared beside Gu Fei in a flash.
“Elder Zhu Li has been away for quite some time now, he needs to bring some news back to the Void Ancient Dragon Clan. You should continue to stay here and improve your strength. The current you is the only hope for the revitalization of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan.”
Gu Fei conveyed Zhu Li's words to Zi Yan. Upon hearing them, Zi Yan's eyes, which had been somewhat smiling, became solemn.
She understood the mission she bore.
Now that she had grown up, it was time to shoulder her responsibilities.
“Growing up is a bit troublesome, but as the Dragon Emperor, one should naturally be the strongest!”
Zi Yan’s smile was different from her usual lively and carefree one; this smile was filled with determination!
“Zi Yan… she’s really become a bit more sensible…”
Gu Fei looked at the now tall and mature Zi Yan, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.
After that, time returned to peace.
Zi Yan Cultivated diligently, refining the remaining dragon phoenix origin fruit energy within her body.
Gu Fei accompanied his wife and daughter while also pushing his own Cultivation. What stood before him next was the process of Nine Revolutions to Saint.
The Nine Revolutions, in fact, are not complicated. Simply put, they can also be called nine times of condensation and compression. When a Peak Dou Zun expert's Dou Qi reaches saturation within their body and cannot be increased further, that is when the Nine Revolutions begin.
At this point, he needs to condense and compress all the Dou Qi within his body, ultimately creating empty space within his full body to accommodate new Dou Qi.
And when the Dou Qi is full again, it must be condensed further!
Repeating this nine times, only then is it Great Perfection!
...Soon, a year passed, and Gu Fei successfully completed the Fourth Revolution.
His Cultivation climbed to the Peak of Fourth Revolution Dou Zun.
Such Cultivation progress was simply astounding.
At this speed, the Nine Revolutions, which ordinary people could not cross in their entire lives,
Gu Fei could complete in less than three years.
And in this year, Zi Yan also successfully absorbed all the remaining medicinal power of the dragon phoenix origin fruit, breaking through to Four-Star Dou Sheng.
Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, Caier, and the others were not idle either, and their Cultivation also had various Breakthroughs.
What surprised everyone the most was that Caier’s belly was getting bigger and bigger!
The Snake-People Tribe requires a gestation period of over three years.
They would use various Heaven And Earth Treasure and their own energy to nourish the fetus in advance.
The stronger the energy the fetus received, the stronger its innate talent would be after birth.
One day, Caier, who had been pregnant for nearly three years, finally felt a movement in her abdomen.
“The child seems to be coming out!”
The fetus's movements in her womb became increasingly obvious, all indicating that her child was about to be born.
About to give birth, Caier was in labor in the Bamboo House, attended by a midwife, while Gu Fei and the others waited anxiously outside the room.
Although he already had one experience, Gu Fei still appeared very nervous, feeling extremely anxious outside the Bamboo House.
“Sister Caier is finally giving birth! After waiting so long, I wonder if Sister Caier’s child will be even cuter than little Xian Le!”
Zi Yan's eyes widened with anticipation.
“If she’s cuter than little Xian Le, then you won’t like little Xian Le anymore?”
Qing Lin whispered from the side.
Zi Yan quickly turned around, covered Qing Lin's mouth, and made a shushing gesture.
“Shh! Don’t let little Xian Le hear, or she won’t play with me.” Zi Yan finished speaking, looked around like a little thief, and only relaxed after confirming that little Xian Le was not there.
Zi Yan and Qing Lin's playful banter eased Gu Fei's nervous mood a bit.
Xiao Yi Xian also walked over and held Gu Fei's hand, telling him to relax.
“Wah… wah…”
Finally, the anxious mood completely settled with a loud cry.
“She’s born!”
Hearing the commotion, Gu Fei entered the room immediately to check on Caier's condition.
Although Caier had already reached Dou Zun Cultivation, giving birth this time still left her incredibly weak. Gu Fei quickly fed her a Medicinal Pill to restore her Qi and Blood.
Afterwards, Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, Qing Lin, and others also came in to check on the situation.
“Born a Dou Zong!”
Venerable Skyfire and Lion King entered last. The two of them naturally didn’t crowd around Queen Medusa, but first looked at the child.
When Venerable Skyfire saw the child born by Queen Medusa, his face was filled with shock.
This child was born a Dou Zong!
“As expected of the young master. My child is still only in the Late Stage of Fifth Rank…”
Lion King sighed with emotion. Dou Zong, that was a height many people could not reach in their entire lives.
But this was the young master’s starting point.
