452: Chapter 452 Hunyuan

The war on the front lines was fierce, and more than half of the Cultivators in Great Sun City were gone. Some teams of Cultivators who had just arrived from the Beast Taming Sect or the Azure Profound Sect would head to the front after a brief stay.

Not only them, but the people from the Liu Clan Merchant Alliance were also incredibly busy. Material transportation could not be delayed, and the Pill Refining Tower and Artifact Refining Workshop were working overtime; no one could afford to be idle.

Although Great Sun City was in the rear, it was still considered within the battlefield range and was nominally under military control. With the current tense state of the war, who could possibly have any free time?

However, there was one exception: the backyard of the Liu residence. Here, songs and dances flourished, filled with laughter and joy, as if it were a paradise away from the world.

Within the Formation barrier, the jade phoenix tree's branches and leaves were lush, and the light of the great sun cast mottled shadows through the leaves.

During the previous relocation from the Red Pine Sect, the third-rank jade phoenix tree had also been transplanted to Great Sun City.

Under the tree, An Yunxi held Liu Tongxiao, teasing him, while Zi Ling, Hu Lingzhao, Lin Xue'er, Lin Anqi, and other women watched curiously from the side.

Everyone knew that the immortal crane Yun Yao had given birth to a son who cried very loudly and could run as soon as he was born, and they were all curious about what was going on.

A human-yao hybrid was a rare thing. An Yunxi lifted Tong Xiao and looked him over, wondering, "It shouldn't be! Shouldn't a child born of an immortal crane be an immortal crane? Why do you only have Demonic Qi and not a single characteristic of an immortal crane on your body?"

An Yunxi was born in the Beast Taming Sect. Although human-yao hybrids were rare, she had heard a bit about them.

Normally, a human-yao hybrid would carry some Yao Beast characteristics, but she searched Tong Xiao's entire body, and aside from possessing Demonic Qi, the child was completely a human infant.

Tong Xiao didn't know what An Yunxi was looking for on him, so he curiously pawed at himself, searching along with her.

Lin Xue'er was amused and reached out to pinch the little fellow's cheek. "Is he really just a newborn infant? He looks like he's at least three years old."

Tong Xiao could run as soon as he was born, and his height and build were similar to a three-year-old child's. It was hard to imagine he was a newborn.

“Isn't he exactly three? Sister Yun Yao carried him for over three years before giving birth.”

The women took turns holding Tong Xiao to play, and everyone loved to pinch his chubby little pink face.

The little fellow was quite happy at first, but after a while, he became very dissatisfied. He kept jumping toward the ground, unwilling to play with his aunts anymore.

Yun Yao was in secluded meditation to comprehend her Bloodline upgrade. After the women played with Tong Xiao for a while, he was finally taken away by his Aunt Miao for guidance.

...

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host on the birth of his 589th descendant. Spiritual Root: Grade Six. Reward: One bottle of second-rank peak-grade foundation establishment pills.]

“foundation establishment pills, not bad!”

Since the last 500-descendant grand prize, over three years had passed, and only eighty-nine children had been born. This result was a total failure!

The result was a failure, but it didn't mean Liu Xuan wasn't working hard. There were two main reasons for the decline in the birth rate of his children.

First, the war situation had changed drastically in the last two years. Liu Xuan needed to devote part of his attention to handling it and frequently traveled between Great Sun City and the Star Secret Realm.

Second, the two vixens, Peach Blossom and the White Tiger Saintess Shuang Xue, had drained much of his energy. There was also his Revered Master, Shen Yunshu, who was no pushover either.

However, Liu Xuan did not regret it because if even one of these three became pregnant, it would definitely be a win.

It was just bad luck that none of them had conceived yet, but that didn't deny Liu Xuan's hard work. Who could guarantee they wouldn't get pregnant next time?

“The logic is simple. The women currently pregnant are enough to claim the 600-descendant grand prize. I should still aim for quality while ensuring quantity!”

Thinking of this, the exquisite body of the White Tiger Saintess Shuang Xue appeared in Liu Xuan's mind. Since he was aiming for quality, she was the one with the highest quality in the Liu residence right now.

Shuang Xue was a Late Golden Core Stage Yao Beast, similar to Yun Yao who gave birth to Tong Xiao. If she became pregnant, the child she bore would certainly not be bad.

White Tiger Saintess!

“Hiss~”

Liu Xuan shook his head slightly, his brow furrowing. He felt his state was not right; there seemed to be a ball of fire in his heart, making him restless!

“It must be that True Dragon Essence Blood causing trouble again!”

The effects of the True Dragon Essence Blood were powerful, but it had strong side effects, which was making those particular desires stronger. Dragons were lecherous by nature; it was no joke.

“No way! I need to quickly find Shuang Xue to give me some treatment, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!!”

...

A few days later.

The treatment effect was excellent. The fire in Liu Xuan's heart had subsided a lot, and there was also a piece of good news: An Yunxi was finally pregnant.

The women in the Liu residence with higher cultivation had been busy with Merchant Alliance affairs lately. An Yunxi, with her Early Golden Core Stage cultivation, had no serious business to attend to, so she was one of Liu Xuan's primary therapists. It was normal for her to conceive.

True Dragon Essence Blood had the effect of increasing the chances of conceiving descendants. An Yunxi's pregnancy this time, besides luck, should also have been due to this factor.

“Buzz~”

In the early morning, Liu Xuan had just finished a day of treatment when he suddenly sensed a surge of Spiritual Qi from the underground yin fiend hall.

His Divine Thought penetrated the Formation and went deep underground to investigate. The yin fiend was surging, and Spiritual Qi gathered into rolling clouds. Someone was about to break through!

Looking closer, Liu Xuan was delighted. The person breaking through was none other than his fifth-ranked daughter, Ling Hui!

Liu Xuan had been looking forward to his daughter Ling Hui's Foundation Establishment for a long time. As long as she successfully established her foundation, Liu Xuan could complete his comprehension of the Five Elements Cultivation Method, thereby creating a Cultivation Technique that fused the Five Elements.

After the sixth son Dao Ming broke through last time, Liu Xuan thought Ling Hui would be the sixth child to break through to Foundation Establishment.

But the reality was different from his expectations. Ling Miao, ranked thirty-first, had successfully established her foundation a year ago, coming from behind to become Liu Xuan's first daughter to reach Foundation Establishment.

Ling Miao had also taken a third-rank xuanhuang undying pill back then and had always been in the first tier. Ling Hui had been stuck at a Bottleneck for two years, so it was normal for her to catch up.

Unfortunately, Ling Miao practiced the Geng Metal Sword Art, which could not provide feedback to Liu Xuan to complete the Five Elements, so it had been delayed until today.

Of the nine children who had taken the third-rank xuanhuang undying pill back then, all had reached Foundation Establishment except for the younger ones, Lingyue (37) and Dao Xing (42).

With the foundation establishment pill Liu Xuan had given her, Ling Hui's Breakthrough process went without a hitch. An hour later, the Spiritual Qi fluctuations subsided, and a faint Foundation Establishment pressure emanated out.

Liu Xuan did not disturb his daughter while she stabilized her cultivation. With a flicker of his body, he vanished into the Pill Refining Tower's Cultivation Chamber.

Sitting cross-legged in meditation, his Divine Sense sank into his Golden Core, finding the dao foundation phantom that represented the results of Ling Hui's cultivation.

The Dao Foundation of Supreme Goodness and Myriad Transformations! The path of water, the Origin of heaven and earth, the pivot of creation. Its form is indefinite: when still, it is as deep as an abyss and as steady as a mountain; when moving, it is like crashing waves and splitting shores. When soft, it nourishes all things; when hard, it pierces through stone...

Water, formless yet possessing myriad forms, doing nothing yet leaving nothing undone!

A black profound light suddenly lit up within Liu Xuan's Golden Core, followed in sequence by the five colors of white, green, red, and yellow.

The Five Elements and five colors rotated incessantly, and the color of his magic power gradually became hazy and less distinct.

Neither clear nor turbid, neither bright nor dark, it finally formed a thread of primordial chaos magic power.

A sudden realization dawned in Liu Xuan's heart. The Five Elements return to one, and all laws return to the ancestor. This is Primordial Chaos!
