Shen Yiren gives birth assisted by the Goddess Palace Masters. The child is born with a Primordial Magnetic Body and is found to be clutching a small amount of coagulated blood in his fist, indicating the presence of an Immortal Bone.

This particular Spiritual Body, coexisting with the Immortal Bone, holds the potential to be refined into a singular entity upon reaching a certain cultivation level, thereby fortifying one's foundation.

"The Immortal Bone has not yet fully integrated?"

A wave of joy washed over Shen Baishuang and Shen Yiren upon hearing this revelation.

The reason for their elation was that if the fusion was incomplete, it could imply either an innate deficiency in the child or that the child's Immortal Bone was exceptionally potent, requiring a gradual integration as they mature.

Considering the abundance of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures the child had received within the womb, an innate deficiency was out of the question.

Furthermore, if they were inherently deficient, how could they possess such concentrated essence?

"Baby....."

Shen Yiren gazed at the infant in her arms, feeling a sense of bewilderment, unexpectedly becoming a mother.

After a brief pause, she turned to her sister, Shen Jianjia, and softly requested, "Sister, you name the child."

As the saying goes, 'the eldest sister acts as the mother,' and respecting Shen Jianjia's position, she gladly relinquished the honor of naming their child to her elder sister.

Shen Jianjia contemplated for a moment before declaring, "In that case, let his name be— Yuan Ming."

"'Yuan,' signifying the leader of goodness and the origin of all things, also refers to the Primordial Magnetic Body, the eldest young master of our Goddess Palace."

"'Ming,' denoting a vast, unfathomable ocean, subtly echoes the mysterious destiny of being born from concentrated essence and hints at his future potential to command a boundless expanse."

Shen Jianjia articulated these interpretations while observing the infant nestled in Shen Yiren's embrace.

"Yuan Ming, Shen Yuanming..."

Both Shen Baishuang and Shen Yiren echoed the name, naturally bestowing their family surname upon him.

As for Lu Changsheng...

It was not even on their minds, as they were unaware of his true name.

Only Shen Yiren held a faint recollection of his parting words, a promise to propose once he reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Shen Jianjia and Shen Baishuang unilaterally deemed this child as belonging to the Shen Family lineage, completely disregarding the potential future return of Xuanmu Taoist.

The nearby Five-Colored Spirit Deer let out a joyous cry, joining in the celebration and offering congratulations to its young master.

...

At this very moment, in the desolate Land of Eternal Night.

Deep within the treacherous Forbidden Mountain, lay the ominous Demon Abyss.

Lu Changsheng, accompanied by the Soul-calling Beast and Qian Zhuyan, was locked in a desperate battle against a Fourth Rank Ghost Demon.

Following over half a year of relentless demon sealing, the pervasive demonic energy throughout the Demon Abyss had significantly diminished.

Where once pillars of black light soared like the Nine Nether Pythons piercing the heavens, colorful auspicious clouds now drifted like ethereal mist.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Though the demonic entities within the entirety of the Demon Abyss were rigorously suppressed by the Great Formation, the Array Spirit permitted the release of only a handful of Fourth Rank Ghost Demons. Nevertheless, these formidable foes exerted considerable pressure upon Lu Changsheng, his lone Puppet, and his accompanying beast.

"Clang!"

Precisely as Lu Changsheng was asserting dominance with the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror hovering above his head and engaging with the Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand, a system notification suddenly resonated within his mind.

[Congratulations to the host for the successful birth of thirteen Spiritual Body offspring, earning one lottery chance!]

[Detected a potential conflict between the host's Spiritual Body attributes. Would you like to initiate fusion?]

"Hmm!?"

The abrupt system prompt, coupled with a mysterious tremor originating from his Spiritual Root, instantly alerted Lu Changsheng to the birth of the child from over four years prior.

He had long awaited this moment, eager to discover the identity of the child's mother.

Regrettably, with elevated cultivation realms, gestation periods often defied conventional timelines, typically spanning two to three years, or even extended durations.

"I hope the child's mother is Yiren."

Lu Changsheng's heart tightened with earnest prayer.

Even if it were Shen Baishuang, he could come to terms with it, but his deepest fear was that the child's mother might be the notorious Six Paths Demon Consort.

"Master!"

The tides of battle shifted unpredictably, and in Lu Changsheng's brief moment of distraction, the Ghost Demon he had been subduing lunged forward. Qian Zhuyan, with urgency, shouted a warning and instinctively moved to intercept.

The potent power of the Fourth Rank Puppet surged forth, generating a terrifying Gale that met the advancing Ghost Demon head-on.

Having absorbed the essence of a Fourth Rank Soul Crystal, Qian Zhuyan had successfully ascended to the status of a true Fourth Rank Puppet!

However, the oppressive environment of the Land of Eternal Night still exerted a certain influence on her, preventing her from freely executing the Puppet Battle Array as she could in other locales.

Moreover, her Puppet Power was inherently limited, functioning primarily as a component of the Plundering Formation.Lu Changsheng refocused, and the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror hovering above his head unleashed a beam of Solar Mysterious Light. Simultaneously, his Great Luo Sword Embryo issued a resonant clang, its dazzling Sword Light illuminating the Nine Provinces like heavenly radiance. Not too far away, even though Yun Wanshang had witnessed Lu Changsheng's sword techniques countless times, the Daluo Sword Light still filled her with awe each time. She yearned to seek guidance on the Sword Dao from him. However, a shred of her remaining pride prevented her from humbling herself to ask Lu Changsheng. Furthermore, she had a subtle inkling that Lu Changsheng’s Sword Intent was intrinsically linked to the Sword Embryo he held in his hand, so to avoid any awkwardness, she decided not to inquire further. Moments later, under the combined might of Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan, the Soul-calling Beast, having transformed into its combat form, let out a ferocious roar. Its overwhelming Soul Capturing Divine Light surged forth, engulfing the Ghost Demon before them into its maw. "Senior." Lu Changsheng immediately addressed the Array Spirit residing deep within the abyss, signaling their need for a respite. Subsequently, he returned to the array formations, offered Yun Wanshang a gentle smile, and sat down cross-legged, quietly activating his system. Yun Wanshang felt a slight surprise that Lu Changsheng was not engaging in conversation with her as he usually would, but she paid it no mind, focusing instead on the immediate situation. Although the task of sealing the demon was painstakingly tedious and monotonous, after enduring so many years in the Land of Eternal Night, she had grown accustomed to such endeavors. ... "It truly is Yiren!" Lu Changsheng observed the family interface, and upon seeing that the child's mother was indeed listed as Shen Yiren, he let out a sigh of relief. After all, if the child's mother had been Shen Baishuang or the Six Paths Demon Consort, he genuinely wouldn't have known how to navigate such a predicament. [Name: Shen Yuanming] [Life Span: 1/101] [Talent: Earth Spirit Root, Primordial Magnetic Body (Upper Class Spirit Body)] [Cultivation Level: None] [Talent: Medicine Compatibility (50%)] Lu Changsheng examined the panel before him, instantly comprehending that Shen Yiren had given birth to a son. Even though the son bore the Shen surname, as the father of numerous children, Lu Changsheng wasn't particularly troubled by this fact.
