Chapter 37: The Sect is Sold, Junior Sister 4
Moreover, Ning Yan was pregnant with his child! What should he do now?
Before he could figure out what to do, his own father arrived, a roar echoing in Chen Junrong’s ears: “What are you still standing there for? Quickly take your wife to Wanren Peak to prepare for the thunder tribulation. Your great-grandfather has already made preparations and will surely protect both mother and child.”
Chen Junrong snapped out of it, picked her up, and flew out.
On Wanren Peak, the Grand Elder had already set up a defensive array. As soon as Ning Yan arrived, she was placed within the array, with several Elders acting as protectors, and the old man comforting her, “Don’t worry, you’ll definitely pass the thunder tribulation safely. You don’t need to be afraid.”
While saying “don’t be afraid,” even he himself wasn’t sure. He had never heard of a woman undergoing a thunder tribulation while pregnant. What if it harmed the child…
He quickly shook his head to banish that terrible thought. His little grandson would definitely be fine, definitely be fine!
Everyone’s hearts were in their throats, and the thunderclouds in the sky grew heavier and darker!
Chen Junrong’s face was even darker than the clouds in the sky. Looking at the woman in the defensive array, he wished he could take her place, but this matter, he really couldn’t!
The thunder tribulation, which had been brewing for half an hour, finally struck!
But the next second, they were stunned!
The lightning indeed went towards Ning Yan, but it was as gentle as if it were stroking her fur. Ning Yan even guided the lightning to travel throughout her body, and finally, it was all absorbed by her belly.
The tribulation lightning came one after another; thirty-six bolts of lightning were not wasted at all, all benefiting her and her child.
Everyone went from being fully on guard at first to eventually sitting on the ground watching the show. They were truly speechless.
When the thunder tribulation ended, Ning Yan’s cultivation realm had already stabilized.
A group of people gathered around and quickly checked Ning Yan’s body using various methods, and the result was: both mother and child were safe.
The several Grand Elders were incredibly excited. They had clearly seen the situation just now: a child barely over a month old could already absorb lightning energy. This child’s future achievements would definitely be extraordinary!
So, the Grand Elders called the Lingxiao Sect Master aside: “Don’t be stingy. Let the two children continue to soak in the Lingquan Pool. If their sect contribution points run out, use ours, the old fogeys. If the children are good, our Lingxiao Sect will have a future.”
The Lingxiao Sect Master honestly said, “Even if they have two more children, my contribution points will be more than enough. You all can rest assured.”
The Lingquan Pool was rich in spiritual energy, but surveys showed that pregnant women could at most stay for three months during their pregnancy.
After three months, the body would not be able to withstand the impact of the spiritual energy.
Therefore, the Lingxiao Sect Master dared to say this.
But when Ning Yan was four months pregnant, she was still in the Lingquan Pool. At six months, she was still in the Lingquan Pool. At seven months, she was still in the Lingquan Pool. At nine months…
At nine months, she was going into labor.
The Lingxiao Sect Master glanced at his remaining contribution points, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then swiftly rushed to Mist Glow Peak.
At the same time, the Elders, who had been waiting for Ning Yan to give birth safely, appeared one after another at Mist Glow Peak.
At this moment, the Grand Apothecary had already been guarding the delivery room. As dusk approached, a colorful glow appeared in the sky, and then golden lotuses emerged from the ground, filling the entire Mist Glow Peak with their fragrance. Before everyone could exclaim at this wonder, a cry came from the delivery room. The crying quickly stopped, and the Grand Apothecary’s excited voice rang out: “The Shao Zongzhu’s wife has given birth! It’s a big, chubby boy!”
“Quick, bring the child out for us to see.”
The Grand Apothecary carefully cleaned the child, then cast a cleansing spell before carrying the child out, “Grand Ancestor, quickly look, this child is a Congenital Saint Body!”
In the cultivation world, there have been Congenital Spirit Bodies, at least three or four over the past thousand years, but a Congenital Saint Body, in nearly a thousand years, there has only been this one from our sect!
A Congenital Saint Body cultivates ten to a hundred times faster than ordinary people, and while people with ordinary aptitudes might get stuck at the Soul Transformation stage and thunder tribulation, a Congenital Saint Body is different—it has no upper limit; as long as he continues to cultivate, he will continue to advance!
What’s more, when this child was born, golden lotuses emerged from the ground, filling the room with fragrance. It was clear he was destined for great things.
The little baby yawned in the Grand Apothecary’s arms, then rubbed his head against the Grand Apothecary’s chest. The Grand Apothecary’s face instantly turned red. This child must be hungry.
The Grand Elder reached out to take the child, but the little fellow slapped his hand, making a crisp *smack* sound.
Then, after looking around, he finally found his biological father, who had accompanied him for several months, and stretched out his small hand, signaling towards his father.
The little fellow was so strong he didn’t look like a newborn at all; he could rival a three-month-old!
Chen Junrong was so excited he almost tripped over his own feet and kowtowed to his son on the spot. Fortunately, he steadied himself, otherwise, he would have truly lost face today.
He carefully picked up his son, and that sense of kinship instantly surged forth. Chen Junrong felt that he hadn't been this excited even when he successfully advanced to the Soul Transformation stage!
The little fellow was incredibly fair and tender, and his features were very much like Chen Junrong’s. It was clear at a glance that he would be a handsome man when he grew up. At this moment, the little fellow was giving his father a toothless smile, then yawned and closed his eyes, falling asleep.
“Father, please hold your grandson. I need to go see Yan’er. She’s had a hard time.”
The Lingxiao Sect Master took the chubby grandson, his face beaming with a radiant smile. But Chen Junrong had only taken two steps when dark clouds gathered in the sky again, and the thunder tribulation arrived.
“The Shao Zongzhu’s wife is about to break through!”
Everyone: “…”
Truly, in the cultivation world, female cultivators never give birth without their cultivation dropping. This one inside is the first one who advanced a major realm while pregnant and then advanced again after giving birth!
After this advancement, she would be a Nascent Soul cultivator!
A Nascent Soul at twenty-six?
Shao Zongzhu Chen, who advanced to Nascent Soul at forty-two, was directly washed ashore by his own wife, this rising wave!
“Father, what should we do? Yan’er just gave birth; she’s still very weak!”
Ning Yan, who was supposedly weak, had already changed her clothes and walked out from the inner chamber. “Husband, don’t worry. I’ll go undergo a thunder tribulation to restore my body and will be back soon.”
Everyone: “…” Shao Zongzhu’s wife, do you hear what you’re saying? Is that even human language?
Ning Yan flew directly to Wanren Peak, which was specially used for undergoing tribulations in the sect, then sat down cross-legged, ready to face the thunder tribulation.
Everyone felt that this thunder tribulation was much more powerful than the previous Golden Core tribulation. The sky seemed to have been pressed down, and everything visible was so dark that they couldn’t see their own hands.
Immediately after, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, a lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket striking directly towards Ning Yan’s head.
Chen Junrong’s heart tightened, but when the tribulation lightning landed on Ning Yan, it seemed to embrace her, and then it was absorbed by Ning Yan.
Everyone’s bated breath quickly relaxed. It was a trick, all a trick! Heavenly Dao Father was playing a heart-stopping game with them!
An hour later, all thirty-six bolts of heavenly lightning had ended.
Not even a speck of black ash fell on Ning Yan, and on the contrary, her realm had already stabilized.
Chen Junrong flew to his wife’s side, “Yanyan, are you alright?”
Ning Yan raised an eyebrow: “Do I look like I’m not alright?”
She was fresh and energetic, and even after a thunder tribulation, not a single strand of her hair had fallen. Chen Junrong surveyed her and truly couldn’t say anything negative about her. “That’s good, that’s good. I didn’t expect you to advance after giving birth. I wasn’t prepared at all.”
“Very good, don’t prepare next time either.”
Chen Junrong choked, but then again, that was true; his Yan’er didn’t need to prepare anything for her thunder tribulations.
