Cultivation Begins From The Desert-Chapter 839 - 822: Pure Yang Dao Body!

The matter of Qin Yue'Er carrying a child with Dao Body talent was strictly kept secret by Zhouyang.

Even though he had already learned the truth that Qin Yue'Er had been pregnant for five years without giving birth, he still did not want this matter to be spread.

Thus, aside from him, Qin Yue'Er, and Lan Daoist, only Xiao Ying, who had returned from the Liuyun Continent Cultivation Realm, knew of this matter.

Even Lu Xuewei, his female disciple, was kept in the dark by Zhouyang this time.

During the ensuing five years, he focused on staying in the cave dwelling to accompany Qin Yue'Er. Every night, he would engage in dual cultivation with her, transferring a portion of his Immortal Yuan Magical Power into Qin Yue'Er's body during a state of Yin-Yang Harmony, allowing her and the child in her womb to absorb it.

Fortunately, Lan Daoist had mentioned that as long as the child was unborn, even if Qin Yue'Er carried the child for ten years, its Spiritual Wisdom would only be slightly stronger than an ordinary infant, with significantly enhanced instincts to seek benefit and avoid harm.

Otherwise, engaging in nightly dual cultivation with Qin Yue'Er would make it difficult for Zhouyang to relax and enter the state of mind required.

Nonetheless, these five years passed as if they were five hundred, they were so prolonged.

Were it not for his True Immortal Body, engaging in daily dual cultivation for five years, even with his previously strong physique, he would likely have needed the aid of Elixirs and Spiritual Objects to sustain himself.

Even Xiao Ying occasionally joked, complaining that in their two thousand years together, their dual cultivation sessions did not match the frequency of those with Qin Yue'Er over the past five years.

Whenever said, Qin Yue'Er would feel so ashamed, utterly grateful towards her.

Indeed, not every formal Dao Companion would be as tolerant and generous as Xiao Ying, indifferent to such matters, and even often refining Spirit Pills to replenish Yuan Qi for her to consume.

One night, five years later, after a routine dual cultivation session with Qin Yue'Er, Zhouyang was about to help his beloved, whose charming face was filled with allure, lie down to rest when she suddenly grasped his hand, saying softly and charmingly, "I feel it's about time. The child should be born tomorrow!"

"Really? That's wonderful!"

Zhouyang felt a wave of joy, a sense of relief surging through him.

Yet, as if realizing something was off about his words, he held his beloved's delicate hand, saying gently, "These years must have been hard on you, Yue'Er. When this child grows up, if he dares be unfilial to you, his mother, I won't let him off lightly!"

Even now, he couldn't summon much fondness for this son of his, always feeling that this boy would not be as obedient and filial as his eldest, Zhou Guangcheng.

Qin Yue'Er had long been accustomed to his words, and did not argue with him over it, merely widened her beautiful eyes, asking, "So, has Brother Zhou decided on a name for the child?"

Zhouyang pondered for just a moment, then nodded, saying, "His older brother is called Guangcheng, so he will be called Guangzheng. I hope he grows up to be an upright and kind person!"

"Zhou Guangzheng? It does have a nice ring to it!"

Qin Yue'Er murmured the name softly, then smiled slightly, agreeing to it.

As dawn broke, Qin Yue'Er smoothly gave birth to the boy she had carried in her womb for ten years.

Wah!

With a loud and clear cry resonating from Qin Yue'Er's cave dwelling, a powerful golden Spiritual Light suddenly surged from within, directly forming a golden sun over the dwelling.

This rare phenomenon instantly drew the attention of all Zhou Family cultivators on Lingxi Peak.

Many Zhou Family cultivators stepped outside, watching the golden sun, whispering about the reason and origin of this phenomenon.

Even Lu Xuewei, on the mountain, was quite surprised, flying toward Qin Yue'Er's cave dwelling to discern the origin of this phenomenon.

Only Lan Daoist, upon seeing this phenomenon, seemed to have anticipated it, murmuring to himself, "A golden sun upon birth; indeed, it is among the Dao Bodies of Pure Yang Dao Body. It seems that in this realm, a Pure Yang True Immortal is destined to emerge."

Unlike the many Spirit Bodies, Dao Bodies total only nine types, each accompanied by a unique phenomenon upon its manifestation.

Due to Zhouyang's own constitution and cultivation technique, combined with his description of the situation of the fetus within Qin Yue'Er, Lan Daoist had long predicted that Qin Yue'Er's son would possess the Pure Yang Dao Body, one of the nine Dao Bodies.

Inside Qin Yue'Er's cave dwelling, Zhouyang looked at the newborn in his arms, causing such a stir upon birth. His expression was a mix of surprise and joy, no longer as dismissive of this son as before.

After all, he was undeniably his son; that blood bond between father and son was something that could not be feigned.

It was indeed a remarkable wonder.

Upon birth, the little one not only lacked any blood stains but emitted a revered golden Spiritual Light. Apart from crying once when first born, he did not cry again, and his eyes opened during that initial cry.

Held in Zhouyang's arms, the little one stared back at him with bright, clear eyes, untainted by any impurity.

"Husband, has Sister Yue born her child? Let me see the baby quickly."

Zhouyang was in a staring contest with his little son, eyes meeting in mutual gaze, when Xiao Ying, having arrived after witnessing the phenomenon, hurriedly entered the cave dwelling, eagerly taking the newborn from his hands.

"He doesn't seem much different from Guangcheng when he was born. It's hard to believe this child stayed in Sister Yue's womb for ten years before being born!"

Holding the little one in her arms, pinching and squeezing here and there, Xiao Ying's face was full of perplexity.

Undoubtedly, her haste to come was propelled by curiosity to compare the son Qin Yue'Er had after ten years of pregnancy with her own ten-month pregnancy.

But the sight before her was quite contrary to her preconceptions, leaving her bewildered.

Zhouyang, however, paid no more heed to the son in his Dao companion's embrace, turning his attention to Qin Yue'Er, who had just given birth.

Qin Yue'Er, having cleaned herself with Magical Power after childbirth, seemed to be in a trance, her eyes closed in sudden enlightenment.

"Is this the opportunity that Fellow Daoist Lan mentioned? The Innate Pure Yang Qi released at the birth of the Dao Body?"

With a flash of insight in his eyes, Zhouyang realized the reason for Qin Yue'Er's sudden enlightenment.

He didn't disturb Qin Yue'Er's cultivation further but took Xiao Ying by the hand, leaving the cave dwelling together.

At this moment, Lu Xuewei, having reached the outside of the cave dwelling, was hesitating about sending a message to Qin Yue'Er to inquire about the situation.

Suddenly seeing Zhouyang and Xiao Ying emerge, holding a newborn, she was momentarily struck dumb.

"Master, Mistress, this, this..."

Lu Xuewei stared dumbfoundedly at the baby boy in Xiao Ying's arms, her face full of surprise and more surprise.

"This is your future junior disciple, the child of your Master and your Aunt Qin."

Xiao Ying smiled slightly, explaining the origin of the baby in her arms for the slightly embarrassed Zhouyang.

"Oh, oh!"

Lu Xuewei nodded dazedly, clearly not yet recovered from this revelation.

There was no way around it, the birth of Zhou Guangzheng completely shattered Lu Xuewei's prior common understanding, and upon hearing this news suddenly, she truly found it hard to come to terms with it.

After all, in her understanding, it was simply impossible for a Tribulation Crossing True Immortal to still be able to have offspring.

Zhouyang saw his disciple's extremely shocked and dazed expression, feeling even more awkward in his heart, and immediately said to his Dao companion: "Ying'er, you take Xuewei back to the cave to explain slowly, while I go to see Fellow Daoist Lan and ask about the child's future cultivation."

After speaking, his figure moved and he disappeared on the spot.

"Hehehe, let's go, Xuewei, follow me, your Mistress, and I'll explain the inside story to you on behalf of your Master,"

Xiao Ying couldn't help but laugh, pulling Lu Xuewei's hand, taking her to her own cave house to explain this matter.

On the other side, when Zhouyang arrived beside Lan Daoist, he seemed to have already guessed that Zhouyang would come over, and immediately spoke up: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you're here to ask about how to guide your youngest son's cultivation, right? This matter is simple. The Pure Yang Dao Body is the purest and most yang attribute constitution in the world, capable of cultivating any Yang Attribute Techniques, and will not face any cultivation bottlenecks before the Tribulation Crossing Stage!"

Before the Tribulation Crossing Stage, there will be no cultivation bottlenecks!

Even though Zhouyang already knew that a cultivator with a Dao Body must have extraordinary talent, listening to Lan Daoist's words still surprised him a bit.

As a Tribulation Crossing True Immortal himself, he understood all too well what this meant.

This meant that as long as Zhou Guangzheng was given enough time and resources for cultivation, he could achieve Core Formation in fifty years and Nascent Soul Formation in a hundred years, which would not be difficult at all!

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, do you think this kind of talent is too overpowering and unfair to other cultivators?"

Lan Daoist looked at Zhouyang with a calm gaze, immediately expressing Zhouyang's inner thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Zhouyang didn't deny it and nodded, saying: "Indeed, it's a bit terrifying, isn't this akin to those True Spirit Descendants?"

"What else could Fellow Daoist Zhou expect? The Dao Body's talent was never meant to be birthed by mortals in the first place. Without such advantages, how could it live up to the title of 'Dao Body'? How could it justify the Immortal Treasures consumed by a Tribulation Crossing True Immortal to give birth to descendants with Dao Body talent?"

Lan Daoist's line of questioning left Zhouyang somewhat speechless.

Indeed, fundamentally speaking, True Immortals and True Spirits exist on the same tier, so it is only natural that the descendants of True Immortals are akin to True Spirit Descendants.

However, this doesn't stop someone like Zhouyang, who has gone through countless trials, faced countless life and death crises, from reaching his current level.

As soon as he thinks about others sitting calmly in meditation for a couple of hundred years after birth, reaching this level, an uncontrollable sense of jealousy arises within him, even if that person is his son.

"Of course, although cultivators with Dao Body talent do not face cultivation bottlenecks before the Tribulation Crossing Stage, whether they can transcend the tribulation to become immortals still depends on their own fortune. Moreover, the power of the celestial tribulation they face when attempting Immortal Ascension will be significantly stronger than for ordinary cultivators!"

Lan Daoist accurately grasped Zhouyang's state of mind and timely mentioned a "drawback" of Dao Body talent, providing him with a smidgen of comfort.

Just a small comfort!

Phew!

Zhouyang let out a light breath, no longer dwelling on matters that might undermine a normal cultivator's Dao Heart.

Luckily, he was already a Tribulation Crossing True Immortal, otherwise, hearing this news, his Dao Heart would certainly have experienced intense fluctuations.

He instantly decided to keep this matter to himself, not even telling Zhou Guangzheng himself.

Seeing a flash of insight in his eyes, he looked steadily at Lan Daoist and asked: "Fellow Daoist Lan, you just mentioned that the Pure Yang Dao Body can cultivate any Yang Attribute Techniques. Does that include a technique like the Qianyang Immortal Scripture, which is exclusively for Qianyang Treasure Body cultivators?"

"Of course!"

Lan Daoist nodded slightly, but then shook his head and said: "However, Lan would not recommend Fellow Daoist Zhou to have your son cultivate this technique, for he is ultimately not of the Qianyang Treasure Body talent. Even if he could cultivate this technique, he would not be able to unleash its full potential."

"Is that so? Then it seems like we must find another powerful technique suitable for the little one in the future!"

Zhouyang nodded thoughtfully, wisely heeding Lan Daoist's advice and abandoning this idea.

However, there was no need for him to rush about this matter since techniques could always be switched. With Zhou Guangzheng's Pure Yang Dao Body talent, even changing techniques during the Nascent Soul Stage would not hinder his future cultivation.

Afterward, Zhouyang exchanged some secret insights he acquired from the Three Immortals of the Human Race with Lan Daoist, then returned to the cave house to visit his young son.

The news that the Zhou Family's old ancestor had a young son was known to very few people, not even the current Clan Leader Zhou Chuanxing.

Zhou Guangzheng made his first public appearance at the age of three, brought back from the outside world by Xiao Ying, who claimed he was a newly accepted disciple.

With Zhouyang having ascended to immortality, Xiao Ying, as his Dao companion, instantly had her status elevated to a level higher than even Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul "Half-Step True Immortal" stage cultivators, leaving no one in the Zhou Clan daring to question her affairs.

After Zhou Guangzheng turned three, Qin Yue'Er, who had been in seclusion for three years, finally successfully broke through to the Late-Stage Nascent Soul and emerged.

As soon as she emerged, Zhouyang immediately took her along with their son and Dao companion Xiao Ying to visit Kurong Valley in the Celestial South Continent Cultivation Realm, to pay respects to Master Withered Wood, a True Immortal of the Human Race.

On their way through the Wilderness Jungle, Zhouyang had his avatar take Xiao Ying and Qin Yue'Er with their child to Chixia Peak to visit Zhu Zizhen, while he went alone to the Pocket World controlled by the Hundred Barbaric Races, the Barbaric Secret Realm.

Although he was ninety percent sure that Jiang Fengxian and her daughter had been taken to the Upper Realm, he couldn't rest easy without personally going to the Barbaric Secret Realm and hearing the account of events from the senior figures of the Barbaric Alien Race.

Of course, he wouldn't rely on his Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivation to act recklessly. Before arriving at the Barbaric Secret Realm, he deliberately released his True Immortal aura to guide Granny Wan, the Guardian of the Barbaric Alien Race, to come meet him.
