246: He Ni is the daughter of He Ni Immortal Emperor

“That shouldn’t be right?”

He Ni furrowed her brows in thought, but no matter how much she pondered, she couldn’t figure out the reason.

Logically speaking, she shouldn’t be having such a bad premonition.

After all, she was once an Immortal Emperor in the Ancient Era, and after countless years, only Immortal Emperors from the same era would hold a grudge against her.

But she couldn’t possibly sense the resentment of an Immortal Emperor.

If it were an ordinary person, that would be even more impossible.

She had an Innate Spirit Treasure suppressing her, and her strength had already recovered to the sixth level of the Profound God Realm. If a mere ant harbored ill will towards her, she would definitely be able to sense their location.

There wouldn’t be this vague, almost imperceptible sense of unease.

“Forget it. If I can’t figure it out, I won’t think about it.”

He Ni closed her eyes, calmed her mind, and intended to continue comprehending the Great Dao.

However, her flat lower abdomen moved, and then moved again.

“Naughty.” A maternal smile appeared on He Ni’s usually cold face as she touched her lower abdomen: “Yan’er, be good. Mommy is cultivating, don’t make trouble.”

“Mommy, I sensed Daddy,” a tender child’s voice sounded in He Ni’s mind.

“Wh-…what?” He Ni’s smile froze, and then she said angrily: “Don’t talk nonsense, you don’t have a father, you are mine.”

“Then how did I sense someone with whom I share a bloodline?” Yan’er’s voice was filled with confusion.

“That’s a misunderstanding. You’re still young and don’t understand. Perhaps that person, like you, possesses the Xuanhuang Undying Blood, which is why you feel a sense of kinship,” He Ni explained.

“Oh! Is that how it is?” Yan’er’s tender voice was full of innocence.

“Yes, that’s exactly how it is.”

He Ni answered with certainty.

Evidently, she wasn’t lying to her daughter; she truly believed it.

As for Gu Qing, it was impossible for him to appear in the Immortal Realm, let alone here.

After all, when she left, Gu Qing was only in the King Realm. Only a few decades had passed; how could Gu Qing have already ascended?

So, He Ni subconsciously dismissed Gu Qing.

“Then Mommy, when can I be born?” Yan’er asked expectantly.

She didn’t want to keep sleeping in her mother’s womb anymore.

She wanted to go out and see the world.

She also wanted to see what the person she shared a bloodline with looked like, and if he looked like her.

“Don’t rush, baby. Mommy is recovering her cultivation. How about you come out when Mommy recovers to the Immortal King Realm? And it’s not time for you to be born yet,” He Ni coaxed softly.

“Okay then.” Yan’er was a little unhappy, but she still obediently listened to He Ni.

“Mm, Yan’er is the best.”

He Ni, having comforted her daughter, was in a much better mood. She touched her flat lower abdomen, her face radiating maternal love.

“My daughter has the potential to become an Immortal Emperor,” she thought to herself.

She was definitely not blindly confident from a mother’s perspective.

Yan’er truly possessed the potential of an Immortal Emperor.

Yan’er perfectly inherited the talent and bloodline of both her and Gu Qing, and had even evolved.

Born sacred, she naturally possessed the Xuanhuang Dao Body, innate roots, and commanded the Xuanhuang Great Dao.

Her blood flowed with Xuanhuang Undying Blood, and she had her three thousand sword apertures, nurturing innate sword qi.

She also had a Dao Bone.

This Dao Bone was extraordinarily exceptional; if fully matured, it would at least reach the Immortal Emperor Realm.

He Ni’s rapid recovery of cultivation was largely thanks to her daughter’s Dao Bone.

She appeared to be comprehending the Dao here, but in reality, she was studying her daughter’s Dao Bone and absorbing the abundant immortal qi.

If she was lucky, she might even collect a few drops of time marrow.

Thinking this, He Ni felt that life was becoming more and more hopeful.

With a cub in her arms, every day was a good day.

Moreover, with the Kongtong Seal suppressing their luck, the mother and daughter’s luck was simply off the charts, often finding treasures from the Morning Glow Evening Sea Secret Realm.

Once her daughter was born, the mother and daughter would seek the Great Dao together, always by each other’s side.

“All the hardships are worth it.”

He Ni suddenly remembered Gu Qing, and her heart couldn’t help but be filled with immense relief. It was a good thing Gu Qing hadn’t taken her as his master back then.

Otherwise, she would never have had such a sweet and docile daughter in this life.

Recalling the few months she was tormented by Gu Qing, He Ni’s face immediately flushed, and she secretly spat: “Lustful pervert, utterly depraved.”

After scolding him, He Ni touched her burning cheeks, her body went soft, and the image of her being so weak in Gu Qing’s arms that she couldn’t even speak kept replaying in her mind.

“I wonder how that bad boy is doing now. Has he broken through to the Saint Realm? Probably not, right?” He Ni pursed her red lips, her eyes revealing a longing she herself hadn’t noticed.

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist He.”

At this moment, a hearty voice interrupted He Ni’s thoughts.

He Ni frowned and looked over.

She saw a handsome and refined young man, a smile on his lips, elegant and graceful, arriving by shrinking the ground into an inch.

“What is it?” He Ni’s voice was clear and ethereal, like a heavenly sound.

“I have prepared a Dao discussion gathering, inviting over a dozen like-minded fellow Daoists to sit and discuss the Dao, as well as exchange information, etc. Therefore, I specifically came to invite Fellow Daoist He. I hope Fellow Daoist He will grace us with her presence; I, Zhou, would be greatly honored.”

Zhou Shengfeng bowed, his demeanor sincere.

“Boring.”

“Withdraw.”

“Do not disturb my cultivation again.”

He Ni said coldly.

She wasn’t interested in the so-called Dao discussion, but she was very interested in exchanging information.

She still understood the importance of information.

However, to have her exchange information with a group of strangers, trading treasures or equivalent information, she might as well not have that information.

This wasn’t the first time she had rejected such an invitation.

“Then I, Zhou, shall not disturb Fellow Daoist He’s cultivation.”

Zhou Shengfeng’s smile stiffened for a moment. He bowed and, without further entanglement, turned and left gracefully.

His smile remained unchanged on his face, but inwardly, he was seething with anger.

He was the son of an Immortal King and at the peak of the Profound God Realm, yet he was driven away like a fly.

Zhou Shengfeng had never suffered such a great humiliation in his life.

If not for his apprehension of He Ni’s strength and background, he would have acted long ago.

“As expected of Immortaless He.”

Seeing Zhou Shengfeng return in defeat, the surrounding powerful beings felt secretly pleased.

Zhou Shengfeng, relying on his strength and status, had been tyrannical and had often monopolized the treasures of Time Twilight.

Now, seeing Zhou Shengfeng stumble, they couldn’t be happier.

Looking at He Ni again, everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but show a few more hints of admiration.

To dare to so arrogantly reject Zhou Shengfeng, perhaps only He Ni could do it.

“All of you, withdraw. Do not come to observe again in the future.”

He Ni’s clear and ethereal voice contained terrifying sword intent, echoing in everyone’s minds, as if their souls were locked onto by an unparalleled divine sword, threatening to split apart.

Everyone couldn’t help but let out a painful groan, their faces pale, and their hearts churned with turbulent waves.

Just her voice was so terrifying; He Ni’s true strength was definitely stronger than they understood.

Then the question arose, was this truly a Profound God?

Perhaps it was an Immortal King in disguise?

Zhou Shengfeng paused his steps, looking at He Ni from afar.

Only he knew that He Ni was not an Immortal King at all, but a true Profound God Realm cultivator.

However, she was not an ordinary Profound God Realm cultivator.

He had seen He Ni kill a Profound God, and the sword Dao she displayed was very similar to the sword Dao of Immortal Emperor He Ni.

However, Immortal Emperor He Ni had already perished.

In the Ancient Era battle, all Immortal Emperors perished, without exception.

Therefore, he suspected that He Ni was the daughter of Immortal Emperor He Ni.

Or perhaps she was Immortal Emperor He Ni’s successor.

However, he thought the possibility of her being her daughter was greater.

Because the transcendent Dao charm emanating from He Ni was very difficult to cultivate later in life; it was most likely a bloodline inheritance.

Although he hadn’t heard that He Ni already had a Dao companion or offspring.

But the private matters of an Immortal Emperor, and after countless years, it was normal for later generations not to know.

Moreover, Immortal Emperors secretly having offspring was not an isolated case.

Many Immortal Emperors without Dao companions, before the great war of the Ancient Era, had left behind their bloodlines, and they had already been born.

Like He Ni, they possessed a transcendent Dao charm and terrifying divine abilities and Dao techniques.

“I must have you,” Zhou Shengfeng thought to himself as he looked at He Ni.

Both of them had the surname He, so He Ni must be the daughter of Immortal Emperor He Ni.

As far as he knew, Immortal Emperors all possessed Innate Spirit Treasures, and only those with Innate Spirit Treasures could attain the Dao of an Immortal Emperor.

He wanted to attain the Dao of an Immortal King and an Immortal Emperor, and an Innate Spirit Treasure was indispensable.

He Ni must possess the Innate Spirit Treasure left behind by Immortal Emperor He Ni.

Looking at He Ni, who was as aloof as the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, Zhou Shengfeng’s heart burned with passion.

“Being aloof is good. I don’t believe I can’t win you over.”

He had experience with countless women and could tell what kind of person He Ni was at a glance.

Cold on the outside, but her heart was actually the softest. Once a crack appeared in her heart, she would be completely at his mercy.

“What are you thinking?”

He Ni looked at Zhou Shengfeng from a distance, her gaze icy cold.
