Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 1023 - 428: Senior Sister: You Still Want to Steal My Spotlight?

"A grand gesture?"

'Pei Wanyu' crossed her right leg over her left, resting her hand on her cheek in a leisurely pose: "Are you choreographing again, or have you thought of some 'remarkable' risqué talk?"

"Neither." Qiu Qingtang proudly played with her twin ponytails: "It's an even grander gift?"

'Pei Wanyu' glanced at Qiu Qingtang: "Then it's related to Qingqiu?"

Qiu Qingtang blinked her eyes: "As expected from Master Pei, but yes and no."

'Pei Wanyu' shook her head noncommittally, recalling something: "Do you like Jin'an?"

"You already know." Qiu Qingtang flung one of her ponytails back: "If Young Master Lu weren't so busy to meet, I might already be pregnant... with seven!"

Seven in one pregnancy...

'Pei Wanyu' subconsciously glanced at Qiu Qingtang's abdomen, her voice tinged with helplessness: "If you were a normal animal, even for canines seven in one pregnancy would be normal, but how can a demon beast have seven in one?"

If the Demon Clan had the Human Clan's reproductive talent, how could the Ancient Court have been conquered by other races for half of its territory?

The strength of the Demon Clan lies in its essence, in the quantity of its top-tier Demon Saints, yet it is weakened by its reproduction.

Their natural reproductive ability, which ought to surpass that of the Human Clan, is restricted by their formidable physique, compounded by the scarcity of female Demon Saints compared to male Demon Saints, which is why the Demon Clan places high importance on female demon beasts of strong bloodlines and cultivation.

Originally, Huang Ningshang's unmarried birth of a Phoenix Egg had incited the entire Ancient Court's fury because of this.

'Pei Wanyu' let out a low laugh: "You want Jin'an to have seven in one pregnancy? You're putting him over the fire."

"Really?" Qiu Qingtang blinked: "You're the Black Phoenix, if you were together with him, the pressure would be even greater.

Although Qingqiu is powerful, if I were with Young Master Lu, it wouldn't mobilize the entire Ancient Court."

Qiu Qingtang spread her hands: "Currently, the Ancient Court hasn't made any moves, but if anything happens to Sect Master Zheng, the Ancient Court will surely settle both new and old scores together."

"The Ancient Court doesn't have that kind of time."

"Surely Sect Master Zheng will persist until Young Master Lu becomes an Immortal, so... what does it matter?"

Qiu Qingtang shrugged lightly: "Moreover, by next year at the latest, I'll be an emperor."

"You're right." 'Pei Wanyu' said perfunctorily: "But you've forgotten the most important thing, does Jin'an have feelings for you?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Qingtang choked, it was what troubled her most.

Despite having spent so much time in the Wandao Sect, Lu Jin'an ended up becoming extremely busy, if not breaking through then on the way to a breakthrough, especially this time, disappearing for over half a year without a trace...

Where would she find the opportunity to nurture affection?

Seeing Qiu Qingtang's expression, 'Pei Wanyu' chuckled softly: "My good disciple has a fair share of desires but isn't someone who casually beds women, for you, coercion is unrealistic, so what can be done?

Later on, there won't be much time left for you to cultivate feelings, let me think... a marriage alliance wouldn't be a bad idea, would it?"

Qiu Qingtang quickly shook her head: "Let's forget a marriage alliance, if it's direct marriage, Zhu Nanzhi would definitely come at me with a sword."

'Pei Wanyu' smiled softly, indeed Nanzhi was the most protective.

"So, when is Young Master Lu coming back?"

"Just wait."

"Oh..."

Qiu Qingtang looked up to the sky, harbouring some impatience, though unexpectedly, she waited until summer was over and autumn gave way to winter.

······

Inside the Dragon Spring Domain, Lu Jin'an's Heavenly Tribulation not only didn't dissipate, but its range expanded even more than before.

After crossing the Heroic Spirit Tribulation, came the Immortal Seed Tribulation, which takes the second-most time, next to the Physical Body Tribulation.

Because the Immortal Seed Tribulation transforms the Spirit Sea Divine Platform into an Immortal Seed, integrating learned rules, domains, and spiritual power, it's a kind of Heavenly Tribulation.

While refining during the Heavenly Tribulation, it condenses the Immortal Seed, and the Immortal Seed containing Dao Essence isn't just the cultivator's certificate to step into the 'Immortal Gate', but also the embryo of the path taken,

during this Heavenly Tribulation, the cultivator's learned skills and experiences nearly all manifest from within the tribulation, this is why the cultivator seeks either desolate places or returns to their sect when entering seclusion.

Few cultivators wish for others to grasp their strength.

High above in the Sky Dome, Lu Jin'an sat cross-legged, his Divine Sense, Spirit Sea, Dao Palace rippling like ocean waves, especially the Southern Great Realm seed located in the Spirit Sea, which burst forth from the rift with radiant Power of the Great Path, resembling a miniature universe.

Between heaven and earth, winds surged and clouds billowed, nature's spiritual energy roared like tides, yet to take form, the Heavenly Tribulation roared even more fiercely than before.

Then, in the blink of an eye, a vast and ethereal sound, like that of a resounding bell, echoed from the entire Sky Dome.

This dull sound seemed to thump on the brows of cultivators spanning miles, and those who felt this sound in their hearts suddenly sensed some enlightenment.

"Sound of the Great Dao..."

'Xiao Yinruo' murmured softly, then his brows filled with joy.

Contained within the Heavenly Tribulation was so much of the Great Dao that it emitted the Sound of the Great Dao, greatly benefitting others, especially for the good disciple at the heart of the tribulation who received a direct baptism of the Great Dao, obtaining even greater benefits.

"Causing the Sound of the Great Dao while Crossing Tribulation... even Immortals couldn't accomplish such a feat."

"Previously, Saint Lu could withstand the Immortal's sword finger, evoking the Sound of the Great Dao defies expectations yet is not out of the ordinary... we might as well take this chance to cultivate."

"Indeed..."

The whispered murmurings blended into a somewhat noisy soundscape, yet in the next second, the Sound of the Great Dao suddenly intensified as if a god sat high upon the clouds, playing an endlessly mysterious Sound of the Great Dao.
