393: Spatial Laws

Fifteen days later.

Peach Blossom's belly showed no signs of pregnancy; Liu Xuan gradually realized that Yun Yao's pregnancy had been a mere accident.

The rule that the higher the cultivation, the lower the chance of pregnancy remained unchanged. At the Late Nascent Soul Stage Demon Lord Realm, Peach Blossom needed a stroke of luck to conceive.

'pregnancy nurturing pills... Besides pills that increase cultivation, pills that increase the chance of pregnancy are also worth researching!'

Back then, thanks to a pregnancy nurturing pill rewarded by the System, Yue Li gave birth to a son, De Ming, who possessed a first-grade spiritual root. Since then, Liu Xuan had specifically researched pills to increase a woman's chance of pregnancy.

Refining pills to increase a normal woman's chance of pregnancy wasn't difficult, but the higher a woman's cultivation, the more Advanced the pill required, the greater the refining difficulty, and the more precious the Materials.

The General Affairs Hall of the Peach Blossom Sect.

Liu Xuan stood on the rooftop with his hands behind his back, looking down at an endless cluster of strange buildings.

Unlike human-dominated cities like Feiyu City and Great Sun City, the architectural style of the Peach Blossom Sect was rugged and ignored specific rules. Most buildings were asymmetrical, possessing a unique, chaotic beauty.

'A Rank 4 High Grade Spiritual Vein... if only this could be made the Family Foundation!'

The Rank 4 High Grade Spiritual Vein beneath the Peach Blossom Sect, combined with the vast territory spanning a hundred thousand miles, was enough to support the Liu Family's development for a century.

After signing the natal spirit beast contract with Peach Blossom, Liu Xuan considered sending his children over now to manage and familiarize themselves with the environment, but after some thought, he decided against it.

The Beast Taming Sect was determined to take the Peach Blossom Sect; even with Peach Blossom as his natal spirit beast, they still wouldn't be able to hold it.

The Pioneering War was a massive undertaking that even the Endless Demon Court couldn't stop. If Liu Xuan dared to step out and snatch the fruits of war now, he would be seeking death.

'It's better to just follow the Southern Courtyard of the Beast Taming Sect and get a taste of the leftovers. Go with the flow first, then wait for an Opportunity. With the Liu Family's current size, even the leftovers would be a feast.'

"It's time to head back!"

Although Dual Cultivation with the Peach Blossom Demon Lord was effective, it was exhausting over the long term. After some consideration, Liu Xuan decided to return to Great Sun City.

He needed to oversee the businesses of the Pill Refining Tower and Artifact Refining Workshop in Great Sun City, and he had many Concubines to look after.

Staying in Great Sun City resulted in a new child every eight or nine days on average—forty or fifty children a year. Currently, it was much more cost-effective than staying here to struggle with the Peach Blossom Demon Lord.

"Are you planning to go back, Young Master?" Liu Xuan didn't say anything, but the Peach Blossom Demon Lord guessed his thoughts from his expression.

"Yes," Liu Xuan nodded. "I've been away for too long. It's time to go back."

The Peach Blossom Demon Lord flipped her jade-like hand, and a pink petal appeared in her palm. "This is formed from my Origin Essence Blood. It contains a spatial divine ability that can instantly teleport you tens of thousands of miles away."

She handed the petal to Liu Xuan. "The teleportation distance isn't very far, but it has a barrier-breaking effect. Ordinary trapping formations cannot stop it."

Liu Xuan picked up the petal and examined it closely. On the surface, it was just an ordinary Peach Blossom petal, but when his Divine Sense touched it, it was as if he saw a dimensional space—mysterious and complex.

"Peach Blossom, I also have some contact with the path of space. I have a question I haven't been able to figure out; please give me some guidance."

Liu Xuan raised his hand and tapped the air in front of him. His Five Elements magic power cycled endlessly, and then his Kunpeng Essence Blood surged. A tiny spatial rift was born, with terrifying energy brewing wildly within it.

"I feel that spatial power is incredibly violent. Even with all my strength, I can only cause destruction; I simply cannot stabilize it into a spatial tunnel for teleportation like you do."

"Explain the principles of spatial teleportation to me. I'll see if I can comprehend them."

"This... actually, I don't know the principles either."

Peach Blossom stared blankly at the spatial rift Liu Xuan had casually created, currently in a state of shock.

"You don't know the principles?!"

"The Divine Abilities of a Nascent Soul True Lord have already reached the level of the 'Dao' and can harness the power of heaven and earth. How could you not know the principles?"

For a Nascent Soul True Lord, if the Golden Core cultivated by a Golden Core Cultivator is a nuclear reactor with massive energy, the Nascent Soul of a Nascent Soul Cultivator is an entity of consciousness born upon that Foundation, grasping a sliver of the world's rule power.

The most crucial part of a Golden Core True Person's promotion to Nascent Soul is comprehending the 'Dao'—which is the power of the world's rules, the power of Laws.

The Divine Abilities possessed by Nascent Soul True Lords are generally called Law Divine Abilities. Their strength is no longer limited to their own magic power; instead, their every move triggers the power of heaven and earth, truly causing the world to change color and destroying heaven and earth.

According to Liu Xuan's understanding, the 'Dao' comprehended by a Nascent Soul True Lord is part of the principles. If the Peach Blossom Demon Lord had said it could be understood but not expressed in words, he would have found it reasonable, but her saying she didn't understand it herself was very strange.

"There is something you don't know, Young Master. The Great Dao of Space is different from ordinary minor paths. For example, with Divine Abilities like fire, wind, sound waves, speed, or even lightning, Nascent Soul True Lords who advance by comprehending these can naturally touch upon a sliver of Law power."

"But as for the Great Dao of Space, Nascent Soul Cultivators are not yet qualified to touch its essence; it is still just a deeper level of application."

"The essence of space is not so easy to comprehend. Even if it's just a deeper level of application, its power is more than just a little bit stronger than ordinary Law Divine Abilities."

"Back then, if I hadn't obtained the Opportunity of the Void Divine Stone, with my Comprehension Ability, I could never have mastered it."

"I see!" Liu Xuan withdrew his magic power, lost in thought.

His primary Five Elements Cultivation Technique had the effect of prying at spatial power once reaching Perfection. The Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Body Refining Method came with spatial Laws, and the True Dragon Essence Blood was even more attuned to time and space laws.

As his cultivation progressed, Liu Xuan naturally comprehended some spatial Law power, though it hadn't yet formed a System of Divine Abilities... Pingding Mountain.

A spatial portal suddenly lit up, and Liu Xuan and the Peach Blossom Demon Lord stepped out side by side, appearing in that small courtyard on the mountaintop from before.

"I'll only take you this far. Great Sun City is within the range of the Beast Taming Sect's battlefield array; teleporting directly there would attract attention."

The Peach Blossom Demon Lord couldn't leave her Sect for too long, otherwise Liu Xuan would have wanted to keep her in Great Sun City to accompany him every day.

The Peach Blossom Demon Lord's Divine Sense swept across the entire Pingding Mountain. Then, she raised her hand and made a grasping motion in the air. Spatial ripples fluctuated, and the Silver Pangolin Great Demon appeared out of thin air not far away.

"Yin Bi is also one of the elders of my Peach Blossom Sect and is trustworthy. In the future, if you have anything, you can order him to do it."

The Peach Blossom Demon Lord looked at Yin Bi, her expression becoming majestic. "This Young Master Liu Xuan is this seat's honored guest. You will follow his orders in the future without the slightest defiance. Do you understand?"

"Understood! Understood!"

"This subordinate, Yin Bi, pays respects to Young Master Liu Xuan."

Yin Bi bowed his body ninety degrees, his attitude extremely humble.

The Peach Blossom Demon Lord ignored him and turned to look affectionately at Liu Xuan. "Young Master, you must come to see me when you have time. I will be waiting for you every day."

The Peach Blossom Demon Lord looked back with every step, lingering for a good while before stepping into the spatial portal and vanishing.

After the Peach Blossom Demon Lord left, Yin Bi secretly looked up at Liu Xuan several times, calling him an expert in his heart!

A Golden Core Cultivator actually managed to hook up with their Peach Blossom Demon Lord, and from the look of it just now, he seemed to be the one taking the lead.

'I didn't expect the Sect Master to actually like human pretty boys. If I had known, I would have dressed myself up well; maybe I could have been chosen too!'
