37: Chapter 37 I said, "Let there be light," and there was light!
Zhaoyang Hall.
Red candles burned, casting flickering shadows.
Li Xuan closed his eyes.
His Divine Thought and Luck merged into one.
With every breath he took, the entire Great Xia Divine Dynasty breathed along with him.
This was the Human Emperor Realm.
Opening his eyes, his gaze pierced through the palace walls.
The past and future of the million-mile landscape flowed before his eyes.
Su Muxue stood right beside her husband.
She had been reborn.
She just watched Li Xuan, forgetting even to breathe.
The man before her was her husband.
Words became law.
Creating things from nothing.
These things that only existed in myths had just happened.
It was more hair-raising than any miracle.
She felt as if she had stepped into a mythical era.
A Mortal had stepped in.
Her old understanding was completely overturned.
"I say, let there be light."
Li Xuan said softly.
"And so, there was light."
This feeling was damn good.
He was getting carried away.
The cost of creating Spirit Medicine was not small.
Ten percent of the Human Emperor power within him was instantly drained.
The Golden Dragon of National Fortune above his head dimmed slightly.
But this feeling was worth it.
Controlling the heavens and earth, creating all things.
The pleasure brought by this authority was stronger than any Breakthrough.
"Husband... is this the method of an immortal?"
Su Muxue's voice was very soft, trembling.
Her eyes were full of admiration and shock.
"An immortal?"
Li Xuan chuckled.
"No, this is the authority of the Human Emperor. In this territory of the Great Xia Divine Dynasty, I am destiny."
His voice was not loud, but every word resonated with weight.
He reached out and pinched Su Muxue's cheek.
The skin beneath his hand was warm and full of vitality.
He had a new idea.
His gaze fell upon the vanity.
There was a white jade hairpin there, very ordinary.
"This hairpin is too plain for you."
Li Xuan looked at Su Muxue, speaking in an irrefutable tone.
"I say, this hairpin shall have the effect of calming the mind and spirit, warding off external demons, and nourishing the Divine Soul."
Hum.
The white jade hairpin on the vanity lit up with a soft glow out of thin air.
Countless runes flashed inside the hairpin and then vanished.
A cool, peaceful aura drifted from the hairpin, and the air in the entire Zhaoyang Hall became much clearer.
With a thought from Li Xuan, the hairpin flew into his hand automatically.
It had been an ordinary item, but now it was warm, translucent, and brimming with Spiritual Qi.
It had become a Magical Artifact of the soul path.
The grade was not high, but for ordinary Cultivators, it was a treasure worth fighting for.
"A gift for you."
Li Xuan inserted the hairpin into Su Muxue's beautiful hair.
A cool sensation rushed through the hairpin into Su Muxue's mind; she felt refreshed, and her Divine Soul experienced an unprecedented peace.
She reached out to touch the hairpin, her eyes shining.
Turning stones into gold.
Legendary methods were as simple as drinking water for him.
"Husband, this... is too valuable."
"Silly girl."
Li Xuan flicked her nose.
"What is mine is yours, the entire Great Xia Divine Dynasty is yours, what is a mere hairpin?"
The next day.
Dawn broke.
When Su Muxue woke up, she thought last night was a strange dream.
But the overflowing Magic Power within her and the cool sensation from the hairpin in her mind reminded her that everything was real.
She had married a living immortal.
And this god was her man.
Li Xuan was already up, standing outside the hall.
The Spiritual Qi above the entire palace followed his breathing, ebbing and flowing like the tide.
"Awake? Why not sleep a little longer?"
Li Xuan turned around and smiled.
"No... I'm not sleepy."
Su Muxue's cheeks flushed.
"I feel full of energy, I've never felt this refreshed in my life."
This was the truth.
The chronic illness she had for over ten years was gone, and she saw the whole world differently.
The sky was bluer, the clouds whiter.
Even the air smelled sweet.
"Then come for a walk with me."
Li Xuan took her hand, and the two strolled through the Imperial Garden like an ordinary married couple.
In the early morning Imperial Garden, flowers were blooming, and bees and butterflies were dancing.
Palace maids and eunuchs followed from a distance, marveling at the new imperial consort's beauty while not daring to get too close for fear of disturbing the scene.
Su Muxue looked around curiously, her steps light.
She walked to a rockery, looking at the exotic flowers and plants on it, when she suddenly tripped and stumbled forward.
"Ah!"
"Your Highness, be careful!"
The surrounding palace maids turned pale and rushed over to help.
Li Xuan waved his hand, signaling them not to panic.
He steadied Su Muxue and pointed to the spot where she had just tripped.
"See what dared to trip you."
Su Muxue looked down and saw a shiny corner peeking out of the dirt.
She curiously squatted down and dug it out with her hand.
A fist-sized stone, crystal clear, with frighteningly dense Spiritual Qi.
"Wow! It's a High-Grade Spirit Stone! Such a big one!"
A palace maid couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes full of envy as she looked at Su Muxue.
Kicking a High-Grade Spirit Stone just by walking in the Imperial Garden?
What kind of luck was this?
It was Heaven-Defying.
Su Muxue was also stunned; she held up the Spirit Stone and looked at Li Xuan:
"Husband, this..."
Li Xuan didn't speak, just smiled.
He saw it very clearly.
This Spirit Stone wasn't originally here.
The moment Su Muxue approached, it was drawn by a force, burrowed out from the deep earth veins, and just happened to appear under her feet.
It seemed the "God of Wealth" in the family had started working.
Li Xuan thought to himself.
His unborn child's "God of Wealth Destiny" had started to take effect.
Just the most basic passive effect was this astonishing.
"Let's go, keep walking."
Li Xuan pulled the dazed Su Muxue forward.
Next, the understanding of Su Muxue and all the palace maids was overturned again.
As they passed by the lake, an ordinary pebble split open with a "pop."
Inside was a pigeon-egg-sized blue pearl emitting a soft glow.
It was a Mermaid Tear from the East Sea.
A priceless treasure.
They passed a bare old locust tree, and a crow, as if drunk, crashed headfirst into the trunk and passed out.
A walnut-sized stone flashing with seven-colored light fell from its mouth.
Li Xuan picked it up and took a look.
It was no stone.
It was clearly a fragment of void divine iron that had crumbled from ancient ruins.
A top-tier Materials for refining spatial Magic Treasure.
Su Muxue stopped to pick a flower, and a small snake in the flowers was startled and fled, but its tail whipped up a rusty bronze ring, which landed right at her feet.
Li Xuan picked up the ring and scanned it with his Divine Thought.
It was actually a storage ring, containing its own space; although slightly damaged, it would be priceless once repaired.
Half an hour later.
Su Muxue was already numb.
She looked at the group of palace maids and eunuchs behind her, all of them holding arms full of Heaven And Earth Treasure they had "accidentally" picked up.
Spirit Stones, pearls, Magic Treasure fragments, seeds of thousand-year Spirit Medicine... Even she, the Young Miss of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, was secretly shocked.
It was too outrageous.
Picking things up all along the way.
Not a single item was ordinary.
She finally realized that all this abnormality had to do with her.
"Husband, I... what is happening to me?"
Su Muxue tugged at Li Xuan's sleeve, her voice filled with unease.
This kind of pie-in-the-sky occurrence was too unreal.
"What are you afraid of?"
Li Xuan patted her hand.
"I told you, you are a daughter of destiny. The Ten Thousand Treasures Glazed Body inherently resonates with the treasure Qi of heaven and earth. Now that you are carrying a Dragon heir, the two destinies have been stimulated, creating this scene of 'all things paying homage'."
"Simply put, you are now a walking treasure basin. Those ownerless Heaven And Earth Treasure will come to find you on their own."
A walking... treasure basin?
Su Muxue was stunned listening to this.
She looked at the dazzling array of treasures behind her, then looked down at her flat lower abdomen.
She was first bewildered, then shocked, and finally her expression softened.
So, it was all brought by her child.
Her heart was full of happiness.
Li Xuan watched all this, his smile deepening.
This wife was the right choice.
With this mobile treasure attractor, combined with his newly opened "Luck Altar", the rise of the Great Xia Divine Dynasty would be greatly accelerated.
Just then, laughter came from afar.
On a small path, a boy of just over a year old was chasing a butterfly.
He walked very steadily.
It was Li Xuan's eldest son, Li Changsheng, born with a Supreme Sword Body.
"Father! Mother!"
Li Changsheng also saw them and ran over on his short legs.
But he didn't look at Li Xuan.
His gaze was fixed tightly on the piece of "void divine iron" held in a palace maid's arms behind Su Muxue.
He could no longer move his gaze away.
He didn't know what it was, but he felt a tearing aura from that broken iron piece.
It was very similar to the "Sword" in his mind.
Li Xuan felt a stir in his heart.
Just how strong was his eldest son's Supreme Sword Body?
His newly acquired ability of words becoming law seemed to have even more tricks up its sleeve.
He looked at his eldest son before him, and then at his new wife with a "treasure basin" in her belly.
Then he thought of his little daughter Li Qingyue with the "Lunar Holy Body" in the cradle in the inner palace.
A surge of ambition rose within him.
His family foundation was getting thicker and thicker.
Li Xuan looked up, gazing into the distance.
He just wanted to study his few treasures properly now.
"Let's go, Changsheng."
Holding Su Muxue's hand with one hand and picking up Li Changsheng with the other, he walked toward Zhaoyang Hall.
"Father will take you to a good place to test your sword."
