259: Chapter 259 The Terrifying Child Born a Saint

"Great Emperor Yao Chi and Qin Chen, of the Major Achievement Sacred Body, request an audience with the Heavenly Emperor."

A Golden Light Avenue appeared.

Seeing the Golden Light Avenue appear, Qin Chen's face lit up with joy, and he marveled in his heart: 'What a stylish Golden Light Avenue. I want to travel like this in the future too!'

Soon, the two of them entered the hall.

Qin Chen wore a black robe and had a burly stature; though his red blood vitality was restrained, one could still feel that surging life force.

Yao Chi was dressed in white, her temperament ethereal and her dao rhyme natural.

Upon seeing Jiang Hao, the two bowed respectfully.

"Juniors Qin Chen and Yao Chi pay our respects to the Heavenly Emperor."

Jiang Hao looked at them and smiled. "No need for such formalities. Please, take a seat."

Once the two were seated, Jiang Hao looked at Qin Chen with a satisfied expression. "A Major Achievement Sacred Body has finally appeared. Not bad."

Qin Chen hurriedly said, "I must thank the Heavenly Emperor. If not for passing the trial in the Heavenly Court back then and receiving the Sacred Body Legacy, this Junior would not have reached where I am today."

After establishing the Heavenly Court, Jiang Hao left the Sacred Body Legacy there. If a Sacred Body appeared and passed the trial, they could obtain the Sacred Body Legacy.

This was exactly how Qin Chen had passed the assessment and obtained the Legacy.

Jiang Hao waved his hand. "The Legacy is static, but people are dynamic. Being able to reach Major Achievement is your own skill."

Jiang Hao paused and looked at Yao Chi. "It is also not easy to prove the Dao with an Innate Dao Body. You two as a couple are quite impressive!"

The union of a Major Achievement Sacred Body and a Great Emperor who proved the Dao with an Innate Dao Body was the first of its kind throughout the ages; it was exceedingly rare.

Hearing this, Yao Chi said softly, "The Heavenly Emperor overpraises us."

The three chatted for a while in a relaxed atmosphere. Because of his grandfather and father, Qin Chen was considered part of the Heavenly Court.

Additionally, since the Sacred Body Legacy originated from the Heavenly Court, the two felt a natural closeness to Jiang Hao, as if facing a venerable elder.

Later in the conversation, Jiang Hao suddenly said, "When your child is born, bring him to the Heavenly Court to find me. I will give him a gift."

Qin Chen and Yao Chi glanced at each other, both somewhat surprised and delighted.

Yao Chi gently stroked her lower abdomen, where a faint aura of life was being nurtured.

Although she had only recently conceived, the child's extraordinary Foundation could already be felt; occasionally, a flash of light from the Great Dao would flicker across her abdomen.

"Is the Heavenly Emperor also interested in this child?" Yao Chi asked curiously, her face showing some joy.

Jiang Hao nodded. "With your two Physiques combined, this child is destined to be extraordinary. I am also curious about what he will be like when he is born and how he will be different."

Qin Chen became excited and stood up to bow. "Thank you, Heavenly Emperor. It just so happens that I have a request for you."

Jiang Hao smiled. "Go ahead."

Qin Chen said seriously, "After the child is born, we want to leave him in the Heavenly Court. Yao Chi and I plan to head to the Lesser Immortal Realm once the child is a few years old."

Jiang Hao was taken aback, somewhat surprised. "Why are you in such a hurry? Why not raise him yourselves?"

Qin Chen gave a bitter smile. "Precisely because he is our own child, we are afraid we won't teach him well. This child is too special, and we fear we might hold him back. In the whole Myriad Heavens, who can give him the best upbringing? Only you, Heavenly Emperor."

Qin Chen looked at Jiang Hao with a sincere gaze. "Please forgive this Junior's selfishness. We want to go to the Lesser Immortal Realm to expand our territory. In the future, we might reunite with the child in the Heavenly Court, and we will be most at ease with him by your side."

"Furthermore, the Lesser Immortal Realm needs manpower, and we can help out and contribute to the Origin Realm."

Yao Chi also nodded and pleaded, "Please grant our request, Heavenly Emperor."

Clearly, both of them had this idea and had considered it seriously.

Jiang Hao looked at them; these two were certainly thinking far ahead.

Jiang Hao didn't mind raising a child; after all, there were several in his rear garden.

Jiang Hao thought about the bunch of monsters in his Heavenly Courts Rear Garden.

The Seven-Colored Immortal Gold Saint Spirit undergoing transformation, the immortal egg being nurtured in the Immortal Pond, several pieces of undying medicine about to take human form...

Now, there would be one more child—a combination of a Sacred Body and an Innate Dao Body.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao smiled.

Between this child and the Seven-Colored Immortal Gold Saint Spirit, whose Foundation would be stronger? Who would win in a battle between equals against the transformed undying medicine?

Jiang Hao was quite interested in this and really wanted to see.

Of course, it also had to do with Qin Chen being a descendant of a Heavenly Soldier and thus one of his own, as well as the couple's intention to contribute to the Origin Realm in the Lesser Immortal Realm.

Since they were his own people and the parents were contributing to the Origin Realm, he naturally had to treat their child well.

"Very well, I agree. After the child is born, you can send him to the Heavenly Court."

Qin Chen and Yao Chi were overjoyed and bowed deeply once more.

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!"

The two chatted for a while longer before taking their leave.

Jiang Hao sat in the hall, his finger lightly tapping the armrest, his gaze thoughtful.

Sacred Body, Dao Embryo, combined...

What would be conceived?

It was truly something to look forward to.

A hundred years was but a blink of an eye for a Cultivator.

Within Great Emperor Yao Chi's womb, that aura of life grew stronger and stronger. The light it occasionally emitted caused the Spiritual Qi of the Big Dipper Star Field to fluctuate, yet there was still no sign of the child being born.

In the Heavenly Court, Jiang Hao only smiled upon hearing the news.

He thought of Nezha from Earth's legends, who was born after being in the womb for three years and showed all sorts of divine wonders upon birth.

Slaying dragons and stirring up the seas, while this little fellow had been carried for a hundred years, far exceeding Nezha—equivalent to dozens of Nezhas.

In fact, in the world of Cultivation, the deeper the Foundation of a descendant, the longer the gestation period tended to be.

Like those Sacred Spirits nurtured by heaven and earth, their gestation easily started at hundreds of thousands of years.

For a child from the union of a Sacred Body and a Dao Embryo, being carried for a hundred years was really nothing.

A few days later, a sudden change occurred.

On this day, above the Big Dipper Star Field, the myriad daos suddenly chimed in unison.

Countless auspicious colors descended from the sky, phantom images of Immortal Phoenixes circled around the Yaochi Holy Land, and divine lotuses bloomed one after another in the Void Realm.

The Spiritual Qi of the entire Star Domain began to surge frantically toward the center of the Holy Land, forming several massive Spiritual Qi vortices.

Not just the Big Dipper, but the Spiritual Qi of several neighboring star systems was also drawn by an invisible force, turning into a seven-colored torrent that crossed the starry sky.

"Is the child of the Sacred Body and the Dao Body about to be born?"

"My god, isn't this commotion a bit too much?"

"The Spiritual Qi of several star systems is being sucked over!"

From the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, countless gazes were fixed on the Big Dipper.

In the center of the Yaochi Holy Land, a brilliant pillar of light shot up into the sky, piercing through the heavens.

Within the light pillar, the silhouette of an infant was faintly visible, surrounded by Dao Qi and golden blood vitality, with Innate dao patterns flowing beneath his skin.

As the light gradually receded, a fair and plump baby boy floated in mid-air.

The baby boy had his eyes open, his pupils clear as glazed glass, reflecting the cycle of the Great Dao within them.

He didn't cry or fuss; instead, he looked at the world with a face full of curiosity.

Clearly, this little fellow possessed high intelligence from birth, completely different from ordinary children!

But what was most shocking was the aura on the baby boy—he was actually in the Saint Realm!

"Born as a Saint..."

"A Saint right at birth?!"

"This Foundation... it's unprecedented throughout history!"

Throughout the starry sky, cries of surprise rose and fell.

Deep within the Forbidden Zones, those Supremes who had slashed their own cultivation were also startled, their Divine Thoughts intertwining.

"The union of a Sacred Body and an Innate Dao Body has actually nurtured such a monster."

"A Saint at birth. If he grows up, what will happen?"

"Is there even a point in watching the struggle for supremacy among Prodigies anymore? Won't this child be invincible!"

"Indeed, how can anyone else even compete?"
