219: Reading ancient books

Seeing his gaze, Murong Yin gently caressed her belly, a tender smile gracing her face, "Wu Ning, this is your Little One."

"Little One..."

Wu Ning’s heart trembled slightly, an unprecedented and peculiar feeling arising within him.

"The Little One has been conceived for ninety-eight years already, and is estimated to be born in another ten years. Ning’er, you’ve returned just in time to catch your Little One’s birth."

Murong Yin said gently, her face soft.

Then, she looked at Wu Ning with some apprehension, "Ning’er, will you dislike your Little One?"

Wu Ning smiled and shook his head, "How could I? Of course, I like my Little One."

"Once the Little One is born, I will surely protect her for a lifetime of peace and joy, ensuring she lives a life free from disaster and hardship, with everything going smoothly, and all her wishes granted!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Ning immediately felt a fragile yet joyful spiritual fluctuation filled with affection.

Murong Yin’s eyes sparkled, and then she smiled blissfully, "Ning’er, your Little One is saying hello to you."

Wu Ning’s heart also softened, this feeling was very wonderful, and he liked it very much.

"Little One, be good and don’t make trouble in mother’s belly. Brother is waiting for you to be born…"

The Little One once again sent out a wave of joyful spiritual fluctuations.

Although she hadn’t been born yet, her intelligence at this moment was definitely not lower than that of an ordinary child, it was just that she didn’t understand many things yet.

At this moment, Wu Tianyun stepped forward and clapped Wu Ning’s shoulder vigorously, "I’ve heard about what you did in the All Heavens Battlefield, haha, not bad, not bad, truly my son, you haven’t disgraced our Wu Clan!"

Wu Ning smiled and said, "Of course! Who in the entire Taichu Ancient Realm doesn’t know that Father, you are a peerless Prodigy, the future pillar of our Wu Clan!"

"Your son is just making a small stir; I am nowhere near comparable to you, Father."

"You little rascal, you’ve learned to tease your old man now?"

Wu Tianyun looked speechless.

"How dare I."

Wu Ning immediately changed the subject, "Father, have clan affairs been smooth these past few years? Have you encountered any trouble?"

Wu Tianhua stroked the beard he had grown on his chin, a smile on his face, "Clan affairs have been relatively smooth. Thanks to you, my boy, my prestige and status in the clan have grown day by day. Now I hold considerable power, and anyone who encounters me has to respectfully call out Young Clan Leader."

"However…"

Wu Tianyun’s tone shifted, saying, "In recent years, regarding the clan’s external affairs, we have indeed encountered quite a few obstacles and troubles."

"For example, several Immortal King-level subordinate forces under our Wu Clan were annihilated overnight, causing widespread panic, but even now, no clues have been found. This has had no small impact on our Wu Clan’s prestige."

"Also, several large merchant houses under our command have encountered various troubles in other Immortal Domains in recent years, especially in the Ye Clan’s Heavenly Wood Immortal Domain, where they have been openly ostracized and suppressed."

"The clan meeting is already discussing withdrawing all merchant houses from the Heavenly Wood Immortal Domain."

Wu Ning frowned slightly; finding the culprits who annihilated those subordinate forces would be easy.

But the troubles encountered by the merchant houses would be much harder to resolve.

The Wu Clan’s population numbers in the trillions, and the resources consumed annually are an astronomical figure, especially mid- and low-tier resources, at least thirty percent of which depend on those large merchant houses.

The current situation, while not immediately affecting the Wu Clan’s disciples, certainly wouldn’t work in the long run.

Wu Ning softly said, "Father, finding the culprits who annihilated those subordinate forces, I’ll take care of that. I can’t help with other matters."

Wu Tianyun nodded, "Alright, I naturally trust your abilities, my son."

He knew that even a terrifying organization like Black Hell had fallen into his son’s hands, so dealing with some minor scoundrels would naturally be no problem.

…

In the days that followed.

Wu Ning spent his days accompanying his parents and communicating with his Little One, living a life of unparalleled ease and comfort.

As for dealing with the annihilation of those subordinate forces, he had long since forgotten about it; since they were already annihilated, there was no need to rush.

Grandfather Wu Xuan was in seclusion again; having suffered a setback from Wu Ning, he had been in seclusion cultivating diligently for five hundred years, and it was unknown when he would emerge.

However, Elder Wu Mao and several other Elders had come to him, offering a massive amount of immortal crystals to help him condense Chaotic Source Fluid, which Wu Ning was naturally delighted to do.

He even happily gave them a discount; the Chaotic Source Fluid, which was originally ten billion immortal crystals per drop, he only charged them three billion immortal crystals, much cheaper than before, saying that as his cultivation increased, the consumption for condensing this item also decreased significantly.

At his current cultivation Realm, this item was far less useful to him than before, and he didn’t need to earn so much anymore.

How could the Elders not know that he had previously profited from the price difference? It was just that the effect of Chaotic Source Fluid was indeed Heaven-Defying, even exceeding its value, and they were all willing.

Now that it was so much cheaper, they were all beaming with joy.

Elder Elder Wu Mao laughed heartily, "Little Ning’er, we old fellows didn’t spoil you for nothing, you are truly the lucky star of our Wu Clan! Hahahaha…"

With the funding from Divine Lord Tianming, he had now achieved Immortal Emperor Perfection, and was in an incredibly good mood, even more satisfied with Wu Ning.

If it weren’t for his Chaotic Source Fluid, even with so many resources, it would still take him an extremely long time to achieve Immortal Emperor Perfection.

How could he have made the Breakthrough so quickly?

Wu Ning smiled. Chaotic Source Fluid was indeed a good thing, like a panacea that could enhance potential Aptitude and rapidly increase cultivation. Unfortunately, he had very few Advanced resources left on him, and nothing yet that could be used to condense even more Advanced Chaotic Source Fluid.

After seeing off the Elders, Wu Ning plunged into the Scripture Pavilion, immersing himself in the ocean of knowledge.

During this period, besides accompanying his parents and communicating with his Little One, this was the only thing he did.

Ever since he was outmaneuvered by God Xi last time, he had kept this matter in his heart.

Compared to those old monsters who cultivated for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, he indeed lacked a lot of experience and knowledge.

This was also a kind of foundation, which he could only make up for by reading a large number of ancient texts.

Wu Ning’s authority was very high; he could access all the biographies and ancient texts in the clan.

Of course, true secrets would probably not be passed down in this form.

After reading these ancient texts, Wu Ning for the first time gained a clear understanding of the Myriad Realms.

The Myriad Realms originally referred to the collective term for all Major Thousand Worlds, Middle Thousand Worlds, Minor Thousand Worlds, and Small Worlds, numbering hundreds of millions. However, nowadays, it more often refers to the collective term for all Major Thousand Worlds.

However, beyond the Myriad Realms, there is actually an even vaster and boundless expanse, namely the Chaos Sea and the World Wilderness.
