392: Heavenly Dao Spiritual Root

After a long rest, sometimes breaking a sweat is also a kind of enjoyment.

When accompanying those delicate eighteen-year-old Junior Sisters, one needs to be cautious, fearing to hurt them, which provides a psychological enjoyment akin to playing with precious porcelain.

But when accompanying a Late Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse like Peach Blossom Demon Lord, one needs to go all out, which provides a sense of transparency from letting go and being unscrupulous, a psychological enjoyment like speeding in the wilderness.

If the enjoyment is singular for a long time, the threshold will rise; only multi-dimensional enjoyment can maintain passion... One hour later.

Liu Xuan had finished to his heart's content. Holding Peach Blossom, he asked, "What are your plans for later? Have you thought clearly about how to escape from the current predicament?"

Now that Peach Blossom had become Liu Xuan's woman, he naturally wouldn't watch the Beast Taming Sect kill her.

"If it really doesn't work out, you can abandon the Sect and flee for a while. A few losses are no big deal."

Peach Blossom smiled confidently. "It hasn't reached that point yet. Young Master, don't worry, I have a plan already."

"What plan?" Liu Xuan asked.

"For now, everything can just proceed as usual. They are waiting for me to forcibly achieve Soul Transformation. I should be able to delay this for three to five years. When the time comes, I'll give everyone a surprise!"

With Liu Xuan as a better option, Peach Blossom had broken free from her previous predicament, and her words carried a hint of joy.

"A surprise? What surprise?" Liu Xuan asked curiously.

Peach Blossom thought for a moment. "I only have a slight idea right now and haven't fully grasped it yet, so I won't tell you for now."

"Regardless of your idea, let me tell you my plan first," Liu Xuan said seriously, tossing a Medicinal Pill into his mouth. "What I want is stable development. Don't cause too much trouble for me!"

The speed of Liu Xuan's current rise in status had already exceeded the limit of the Liu Family's development speed. For him, the correct approach was to keep a low profile and properly manage the Family's Foundation.

Nurturing offspring, having more children, and increasing cultivation—these were the solid Foundations. Continuing to raise his status and position would just be a castle in the air, without much meaning.

Great Sun City and the Red Pine Sect were enough for the Liu Family to develop for a while. Now that he had Peach Blossom Demon Lord to keep True Lord Haoran in check, Liu Xuan could safely develop in low profile until the Peach Blossom Sect war ended.

"This war should be dragged out as long as possible. Unless necessary, we won't expose our relationship for now. Everything prioritizes the development of the Liu Family."

"I will listen to everything the Young Master says!"

Peach Blossom didn't understand why Liu Xuan valued Family development so much, but she was tactful enough not to ask more.

"Young Master, I have a way to speed up the Liu Family's development."

"I have several loyal Yao tribes under my command: the Green Ivy Vines under Green Ivy, the Frost Pythons under Bai Leng, and the Devourer Flowers. These can all serve as natal spirit beasts for your offspring."

Liu Xuan's heart stirred. Peach Blossom's method was indeed feasible; that was how many Disciples with backgrounds in the Beast Taming Sect got their natal spirit beasts.

An Yunxi's natal spirit beast Da Shan, An Yunmiao's Nascent Soul stage natal spirit beast Fatty, and the natal spirit beast of Second Senior Brother Yunhe, the Nascent Soul Crane Young Master Yun Xu—all these Yao Beasts had higher cultivation than their masters because the Beast Taming Sect behind them had a Yao Race Legacy.

With the support of Peach Blossom Demon Lord, if every Liu Family Qi Refining Cultivator contracted a Yao Beast with a much higher cultivation than themselves, it would not only increase their combat power in a short time but also increase their cultivation speed.

"Great idea!"

"I need at least third-grade Bloodlines, preferably Yao Beasts already in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Don't make it too conspicuous; send people to deliver them secretly to Great Sun City."

"Third-grade Bloodlines! In that case, I don't have many here. There are many in the Demon Court's Yao Race, but I can't guarantee they won't rebel," Peach Blossom Demon Lord said with a frown.

"Safety first. For now, just use those you can control. It's fine even if there are fewer!"

Too many would easily arouse the suspicion of the Beast Taming Sect. Liu Xuan hadn't intended to equip all his children in one go anyway.

Peach Blossom Demon Lord planned to have Green Ivy properly count the Yao Beasts that met the conditions, list them out, and then she would personally review them, select suitable ones, train them a bit, and finally send them to Great Sun City.

Since this involved the safety of Liu Xuan's children, Peach Blossom Demon Lord was not the least bit sloppy and decided to do it personally to ensure no problems would arise.

After listening to Peach Blossom describe the entire process, Liu Xuan nodded in satisfaction. She was meticulous and rigorous; many risk points he hadn't considered were pointed out, and solutions were provided.

"Besides natal spirit beasts, spirit fruits and Spirit Medicines that can increase cultivation are also important. I will use all the power in my hands to help you collect them."

"Also, you need high-level Yao Beast Essence Blood. I'll store it all for you later and give it to you when you need it."

"High-level Artifact Refining Materials, high-level Talisman and Formation Flag Materials—I will also help you gather these. If you can't use them now, they can be stored first. They will definitely be useful once the Family grows stronger."

"..."

Peach Blossom Demon Lord spoke one item after another, all of which were what Liu Xuan and the Liu Family needed.

"How do you know so clearly? I feel like you understand my needs better than I do!"

Peach Blossom Demon Lord smiled and said, "This humble one investigated all kinds of intelligence regarding you and the Liu Family before, so it's not strange to know these things."

"If the Young Master feels anything is missing, just give the order, and I can complete it for you."

I've picked up a treasure!

Peach Blossom was even more sensible than Liu Xuan had imagined. She knew what he wanted without him having to ask and arranged everything perfectly.

'If she could also conceive a child, that would be even more perfect!'

"By the way! Peach Blossom, what grade is your Bloodline?" Liu Xuan suddenly asked.

"It used to be third-grade, but now it's top-tier fourth-grade."

Peach Blossom explained, "My own Bloodline was only third-grade. Over a thousand years ago, I coincidentally obtained a fifth-grade human Cultivation Technique called 'Spirit Void Void-Walking Method' and an unknown grade Void Divine Stone. After many years of cultivation, I finally fused with the Divine Stone, broke through the Bloodline limit, and promoted to a fourth-grade Nascent Soul Yao Beast."

"Spirit Void Void-Walking Method... no wonder you possess a long-distance teleportation Divine Ability!"

Spatial Divine Abilities were among the top-tier Divine Abilities. Peach Blossom's original form was a tree demon, and Liu Xuan had wondered before how a tree demon learned spatial teleportation.

With a top-tier fourth-grade Bloodline and Late Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, if she became pregnant, could she give birth to a child surpassing a First-Grade Spiritual Root?

After becoming True Lord Haoran's Disciple, Liu Xuan's horizons had broadened. He knew that the Ninth-Grade Spirit Root was only the limit for ordinary people. Above it were four levels: Earth-Grade Spiritual Root, Heavenly Spiritual Root, Innate Spiritual Root, and Heavenly Dao Spiritual Root.

Among them, Earth-Grade and Heavenly Spiritual Roots were extremely rare, usually the offspring of True Lords at the Nascent Soul stage or above, or Soul Transformation Dao Lords. Even in a Spirit Transformation Immortal Sect like the Beast Taming Sect, they were Prodigy figures.

Innate Spiritual Roots were even rarer; there had been only a few in the long history of the Human Race. Each one was born carrying the Luck of heaven and earth, a darling of an era.

As for the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Root, that was the strongest Spiritual Root conjectured by an ascendant of the Dao Court that this world could nurture. It only existed in concept, and no one had ever truly seen it.
