Do you believe that there are people in this world who are destined to become emperors by birth?

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Mo's expression immediately turned solemn.

Subvert imagination? (Beyond imagination?)

For Li Fan to say this, it meant that what happened to Qingyu was truly significant!

Because based on Li Fan's behavior, he could almost conclude that Li Fan had some kind of Old Grandfather with him.

Thus, by extension, Li Fan's current words were most likely heard from that mysterious Old Grandfather.

"Speak, I'm listening."

After pondering for a while, Lin Mo gestured for Li Fan to speak directly.

"Brother Mo..."

Li Fan organized his words. He didn't immediately blurt out the astonishing answer, but instead first posed a question to everyone present.

"Before I talk about Miss Qingyu's matter, I want to ask you all."

"Do you believe that there are people in this world who are born destined to achieve Dao and become an Emperor?"

When he finished speaking, the quiet room fell into a deathly silence.

Achieve Dao and become an Emperor?

Born destined?

"Nonsense!"

The first to react was Gu Zhiyun, who almost instinctively retorted.

"Little Brother Li, have you been reading too many unofficial historical records?"

"As the saying goes, the Emperor's Path is a struggle, unparalleled through the ages!"

"Every Great Emperor is the sole victor who has fought their way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Their Dao is paved with the bones of countless Prodigies!"

"How could there be a born Emperor? This completely violates the ironclad rules of the Cultivation world!"

Gu Zhiyun's identity was actually not simple.

Her understanding of the Emperor Realm far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Precisely because of this, she found Li Fan's statement to be a fantasy.

Sikong Yang, on the side, although he didn't speak, slowly shook his head, clearly not agreeing with this statement either.

He had, after all, once been a Soul Transformation Cultivator. Although he was still separated by an unbridgeable chasm from the Emperor's Path, he understood how difficult it was to ascend to the supreme Imperial position!

"I know this sounds absurd."

"In fact, I don't want to believe it either."

Facing Gu Zhiyun's fierce rebuttal, Li Fan's expression remained extremely solemn.

"However, there are always exceptions to everything."

"In the long ancient history of the Cangxuan Great Realm, there indeed exists a Physique. Those who possess it are destined to become an Emperor, as long as they don't die prematurely!"

Li Fan's words were decisive and without the slightest hesitation.

This made Gu Zhiyun, who had originally intended to continue refuting, suddenly freeze.

Destined to become an Emperor?

Countless ancient records flashed wildly in her mind, and a forbidden term, revered as a mythical legend, existing only in a few sparse words, suddenly emerged!

"Could it... could it be..."

Gu Zhiyun's voice began to tremble uncontrollably, her face filled with disbelief.

"That's right."

Li Fan nodded heavily, finally uttering the term that was enough to drive the entire Cangxuan Great Realm into a frenzy.

"The Innate Sacred Demonic Dao Fetus!"

Boom!

These six characters were like a thunderbolt from the Nine Heavens, exploding in the minds of Sikong Yang and Gu Zhiyun!

Sikong Yang froze completely. He stood dumbfounded, his mouth slightly open, unable to utter a single word.

The Innate Sacred Demonic Dao Fetus!

Although he was now reduced to a small figure in the Canglin Domain, he had once traveled far and wide.

In an ancient ruin, he had seen incomplete records about this Physique.

There was only one sentence on it.

Saint and Demon in one body, Imperial talent formed naturally!

At that time, he thought it was a fantasy of some ancient powerful being and didn't take it seriously.

But now... "No... impossible... this is absolutely impossible!"

Gu Zhiyun shrieked, slightly losing her composure.

She retreated repeatedly, as if she had heard the most terrifying thing.

"Ancient records clearly state that this Physique has only appeared three times in the long ancient history of the Cangxuan Great Realm!"

"Each time it appeared, it ushered in an era of Great Emperors that was glorious to the extreme!"

"But in the end, those are just ancient legends! No one can confirm them!"

"Miss Qingyu... how could she possess such a Physique that only exists in legends?!"

She couldn't believe it, and she couldn't accept it.

In her lifetime, she would actually witness the birth of a future peerless female Emperor with her own eyes?

This was even more fantastical and unreal than her obtaining the entire Legacy of the Formation Dao Emperor!

Because even if she could obtain the complete Legacy of the Formation Dao Emperor in the future, she wouldn't be able to become an Emperor.

But someone with this Physique was destined to become an Emperor!

Seeing their reactions, Lin Mo's heart also sank.

Of course, he had never heard of the Innate Sacred Demonic Dao Fetus.

But the four words "destined to become an Emperor" were enough to explain everything.

However, compared to their shock at this Heaven-Defying Physique, Lin Mo was more concerned about Liu Qingyu herself.

He just wanted to know if this posed any hidden dangers for Liu Qingyu?

"So, the blood mist that devoured her vitality earlier was the manifestation of the 'Demon'?"

"And the sacred radiance that appeared later was the manifestation of the 'Saint'?"

"Then why did Qingyu suddenly change like that just now? And why did she grow up?"

After calmly analyzing for a while, Lin Mo asked the most crucial questions.

These questions also pulled the dazed Sikong Yang and Gu Zhiyun back to reality.

Ultimately, their understanding of this Physique only remained in the records of ancient legends.

As for more specific information, they didn't know much.

"Because of the Awakening."

Li Fan quickly gave the answer, which Sword Elder had just told him.

"Whether it's the Demonic Body or the saint fetus, the Awakening of either one alone requires a massive amount of energy."

"And the Innate Sacred Demonic Dao Fetus is a combination of both, so the energy required for its Awakening is an astronomical figure!"

"Miss Qingyu's sudden devouring of vitality earlier was actually to supplement energy for the Awakening; that was the instinct of the 'Demonic Fetus'."

"As for her growing up..."

Li Fan paused, looking at Lin Mo.

"That's because of you, Brother Mo."

"Because of me?" Lin Mo was startled.

"That's right." Li Fan nodded: "Miss Qingyu's Dao Fetus Awakening should have been a long process. She would have fallen into a long period of slumber due to insufficient energy."

"But during that process, Brother Mo, you voluntarily allowed her to devour your vast and unparalleled Qi and blood power."

"Your own Qi and blood quality is extremely high, containing far more life essence than imagined."

"So much so that this power not only initially filled the energy void of the Demonic Fetus, but also slightly activated the saint fetus within her!"

"The power of the saint fetus contains the vitality of creation."

"The two forces converged within her, allowing her to successfully complete the initial Awakening of her Physique."

"The immense life energy further catalyzed her growth, allowing her to skip the growth process and transform into her current appearance."

After hearing this explanation, Sikong Yang and Gu Zhiyun both looked at Lin Mo with eyes as if he were a monster.

Voluntarily letting a future female Emperor devour his Qi and blood, and successfully helping her complete her Physique Awakening?

If such an absurd thing were to be spoken, probably no one in the entire Cangxuan Great Realm would believe it, right?

Lin Mo ignored their gazes. He finally understood the cause and effect now.

So, when Qingyu said she was hungry, she was truly hungry.

She was hungry for the energy needed for Awakening.

And he, earlier, had become her best "food."

In that case, not only was the girl fine, but she had also gained a blessing in disguise!

This seemed... like a good thing?

However, just as Lin Mo had just breathed a sigh of relief, Li Fan's next words made his heart sink.

"Brother Mo, don't celebrate too soon."

Li Fan's expression suddenly became serious again.

"Miss Qingyu's Awakening of the Innate Sacred Demonic Dao Fetus is indeed a Heaven-Defying Opportunity."

"But at the same time, it has brought her, and you, immense hidden dangers!"

"What do you mean?" Lin Mo hurriedly asked.

"The descent of the Innate Sacred Demonic Dao Fetus and the resulting celestial phenomena are far more complex than what our naked eyes can perceive."

"If nothing goes wrong, the news of Miss Qingyu's Physique Awakening should have already been detected by some existences beyond our imagination."

Li Fan took a deep breath, stating a fact that sent shivers down everyone's spines.

But at this moment, he continued to add:

"Some Demonic Path powerhouses will definitely sense the aura of the 'Demonic Fetus' immediately."

"They might spare no effort to find Miss Qingyu and cultivate her to become their future Demonic Lord."

"And conversely, some Holy Lands might also sense the descent of the 'saint fetus'."

"They too will spare no effort to welcome Miss Qingyu back to their Holy Land, revering her as their future Saint Lord, or even... a female Emperor!"

"One side sees her as a Demonic Fetus, the other as a saint fetus."

"Do you think these two colossal forces will allow the other to snatch away this sole hope of the ages?"

"And Brother Mo, caught in the middle of this... how can you protect yourself?"

By the end of Li Fan's words, there was already a hint of a sigh.

He felt that for Lin Mo, the best option might be to give up Liu Qingyu, personally send her to a certain Holy Land, and sever all ties from then on.

Otherwise, even if Brother Mo's talent was peerless, he would absolutely be unable to contend with those supreme forces that have been passed down through the ages!
