CIATB Chapter 1433: Surprise
Chapter 1433: Surprise
After laughing, Liu Yan Yue nodded to Jia Chongxin and left.
Jia Chongxin felt very upset inside; he felt extremely wronged.
But the fact that the two have separated was undeniable.
Liu Yan Yue went to the Deacon Office, as Sun Qizheng had instructed. The procedures here were quite simple.
She went to Yan Jiao Peak, where the Spiritual Energy was still adequate. After settling down, she focused on her cultivation.
The ranking competition this time yielded great results for her; after calming down, she was at the brink of advancing to Foundation Establishment Perfection.
With a peaceful mind, she quickly entered a meditative state.
It felt like a natural progression, with an abundance of Spiritual Power flowing in that she absorbed, yet she kept feeling it was insufficient.
She took out all her top-grade Spirit Stones, bolstered by both Spiritual Energy and the Spirit Gathering Array. Spiritual Power was absorbed into her body, but seemed to dissipate.
This frightened Liu Yan Yue; could there be something wrong with her Dantian? But she hadn’t been injured?
She stopped absorbing Spiritual Energy and used her Divine Sense to inspect her body. She checked her Dantian repeatedly, finding no issues at all.
What was going on? Absorbing Spiritual Energy again, while maintaining inner sight, she saw the energy gathered at her lower abdomen. Her Divine Sense probed further, feeling a sense of familiarity.
What was this? Liu Yan Yue was incredibly unsure—she saw a small dot.
She withdrew from inner sight and quickly left the cave dwelling, heading directly to Medicine Peak.
There, she found the renowned Master Youlan.
After explaining her situation, Master Youlan smiled and comforted Liu Yan Yue, "Don’t worry. Relax, let me take a look."
After a moment, Master Youlan smiled, "Congratulations, niece. You are pregnant; though the embryo has just implanted, you must be careful. And from your description, this child will be remarkable in the future, you must nurture carefully. Here’s a list of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures you might need, please prepare them.
Your cultivation might decline, but don’t worry." On Fuxing Continent, female cultivators are not allowed to have abortions.
Liu Yan Yue was dumbfounded but overjoyed; Xu Ying’s pregnancy had stirred feelings in her, thinking she’d never have the hope of becoming a mother in this life.
She hadn’t expected to become pregnant; they were only together for over ten days. Right, Master mentioned the child just implanted.
Now she was nervous, "Master, is it particularly dangerous now?"
Master Youlan chuckled, "Don’t be nervous. Everything is as usual, just avoid fighting."
Liu Yan Yue nodded immediately, "I’ll certainly be careful."
"Niece, remember, this child required so much Spiritual Energy immediately after implanting; if you nurture it with care, it will surely be exceptional when born.
As a Foundation Establishment Disciple, your resources might be limited. It’s better to inform the child’s father and your mentor, this child requires attentive care."
"Yes, Master, I understand, I will."
Now Sun Qizheng is in seclusion, best not to disturb him; she feels awkward going to his mentor, thus she’ll turn to her own mentor.
She went to her mentor again, and told her about it.
"Hahaha, good, very good, I can certainly afford to support you. Don’t worry."
"Mentor, you are too kind."
"Silly girl, what’s too kind about that? You’re my disciple, just like my daughter."
Now Liu Yan Yue felt at ease, no need to go to Sun Qizheng, with her mentor she felt secure.
Knowing she cannot advance in cultivation, she still persists, though as a mother she might possess little talent, she can still provide spiritually for the child through absorption.
Though she gains little Spiritual Power herself, a smile of happiness graces her face.
A month later, Jia Chongxin emerged from seclusion and only then learned of the news.
Though good news, to him it felt like a bolt from the blue.
They had been together for decades; even though fewer in later years, he had acted impulsively before, why hadn’t a child resulted?
Why did his junior have to quickly embrace another’s love? They’ve been together for such a short time.
He absolutely trusts his junior, before separating from him, she hadn’t any contact with Sun Qizheng.
Could this be destiny? Was he not meant to be with her forever, or not meant to have children?
He thought he’d sorted out his feelings during the retreat, but upon hearing this news, he felt unsteady again.
Hundred Spirits True Monarch lightly admonished seeing his condition.
Jia Chongxin snapped back to awareness, "Master."
"Go out and train; cultivation is also about refining one’s heart; your current mindset is inadequate."
"Master, and junior sister?"
"Too late to talk now, regardless of who’s at fault, reaching this point indicates there’s no destiny between the two.
Go, venture outside; on returning, you should take the step into Nascent Soul."
"Yes, Master.
Here are some Spirit Plants, please give them to junior sister from me as a gesture from her senior uncle."
"I will."
Jia Chongxin had considered venturing out long ago. However, with his junior disciple not yet out of retreat, he delayed leaving.
Now he had to go, his mindset indeed was compromised.
Pan Xiu Chen had successfully formed his Core long ago. His mother urged learning a family Secret Technique immediately after, which took over two years.
Su Yuanyuan, along with her family of three, integrated with fellow sect members.
With only ten days until the secret realm opens. Though it belongs to Xuantian Sect, controlling it remains beyond their power.
No other sect could enter, hence it’s referred to as Xuantian Sect’s secret realm.
They returned as heroes, warmly welcomed by sect members.
Especially Su Yuanyuan, who defeated Late-stage Golden Core cultivators as a Late-stage Foundation Establishment.
Yuan Shan True Monarch relayed the news, indeed motivating them.
Su Yuanyuan felt helpless, used to such admiration but they were blunt.
All Foundation Establishment disciples, aside from routine cultivation, inquired about the competition.
The secret realm is on the verge of opening. Each received a Jade Token.
"If I discover any infighting, strict punishment will follow.
You are fellow sect members, support and help each other.
Heard clearly?"
"Yes."
"Line up to enter the secret realm, half a year inside; after that, you’ll be teleported out."
"Yes." Disciples answered uniformly, the desired outcome for Xuantian Sect’s leadership.
