Lu Changsheng provided resources to aid in the refinement of the Kunpeng Egg. Meanwhile, in the Southern Wilderness, a young, agile boy with striking features was pursued by a black-robed elder. The elder captured the boy, revealing his intent to refine him into a Human Pill due to his rare bloodline, and brought him to a secluded cave filled with corpses. The boy, Mu Que, attempted to deter the elder by mentioning powerful parents, but the elder remained determined.

Starry Sky Sea, Split Wind Island.

The entire island appeared to heave and vibrate unstoppably, as if struck by an unseen force. This tremor caused the abundant Spiritual Energy on the island to surge like a tumultuous tide, torrenting towards the central Spiritual Eye.

Above the island, a vortex of Spiritual Energy, resembling a colossal tornado, had already materialized. It acted like a gargantuan, heaven-devouring beast, voraciously consuming the surrounding Spiritual Energy and channeling it relentlessly into Split Wind Island.

"With such a magnificent display, he must be the paramount Earth Dao Nascent Soul, wouldn't you agree!?"

"This Nascent Soul Phenomenon is truly awe-inspiring!"

"In my youth, I was graced with witnessing a Nascent Soul Phenomenon in Star Moon Immortal City, but it paled in comparison to this spectacle."

On Split Wind Island, the five Nascent Soul Cultivators, tasked with maintaining the Great Formation, gazed upon the escalating, unstoppable Nascent Soul Phenomenon. Their faces were etched with profound amazement and a touch of envious longing.

Every Nascent Soul Cultivator harbored dreams of reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

They, naturally, were no exception.

However, they understood with stark clarity that their journey through Cultivation had reached its zenith; this was their ultimate limit.

Without an encounter with a truly heaven-defying fortune, achieving Nascent Soul was merely an unattainable luxury, a distant dream.

Opting against the use of the Infant Transformation Elixir and instead placing their lives on the line for the slimmest of chances—by the time one reached the Core Formation Stage, few would still choose such a perilous path.

The primary reason was that the transition from Core Formation to Nascent Soul presented a challenge vastly exceeding that of Foundation Establishment or even Core Formation itself.

Even if the core was successfully shattered to birth the infant, the formidable Heavenly Thunder Tribulation and Demonic Tribulation still loomed.

Furthermore, a True Man of Core Formation enjoyed a lifespan of five hundred years. Regardless of where they ventured, they were considered High Rank Cultivators, beings of great respect and honor.

At that juncture, how many would willingly relinquish their current esteemed status to gamble on such an elusive, almost illusory, probability?

At the heart of Split Wind Island, Lu Changsheng sat in a cross-legged posture. He meticulously oversaw Yun Wanshang's Nascent Soul progression while continuously channeling the world's spiritual energy into the Tianyuan Lotus held in his grasp.

It was evident that the moment the ambient spiritual energy entered the Tianyuan Lotus, it was absorbed by the Kunpeng Egg. Subsequently, resplendent golden radiance and profound pitch-black ghostly light began to intertwine and flow within it.

Even Lu Changsheng, observing this Kunpeng Egg—which resembled a slumbering Ancient Fierce Beast endlessly inhaling and exhaling the world's spiritual energy—could not suppress a secret sense of astonishment.

The sheer volume of spiritual energy his son required was simply colossal and boundless.

Were it not for Split Wind Island possessing a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein, an ordinary Third Rank Lower Grade or Middle Grade Spirit Land would struggle to provide sufficient Spiritual Energy.

However, Lu Changsheng was aware that his son's Demon Embryo Transformation Method involved converting the entire essence of the Kunpeng hatchling for his own nourishment. This process would allow him to plunder and acquire the various Divine Skills and inherent traits of the Kunpeng.

The more extraordinary the current manifestation, the greater the benefits his son would reap upon the completion of this transformation.

At that precise moment, a system notification resonated within Lu Changsheng's mind.

"[Congratulations to the Host, seventy offspring have broken through to Ninth Level Energy Refinement. You have obtained one lottery chance!]"

"Hm!?"

Upon hearing this system announcement, Lu Changsheng experienced a flicker of surprise.

Although the number of his sons and daughters possessing a Spiritual Root had long surpassed one hundred...

The children born in earlier years possessed average Spiritual Root Talent and faced limited conditions. Many opted to establish families and pursue careers, gradually abandoning the path of cultivation midway, and became stranded at Seventh Level Energy Refinement. Consequently, the number of offspring reaching Ninth Level Energy Refinement was actually quite small.

The children born in the present era, while exceptionally gifted, emerged at a rate of typically only one or two every several years.

Thus, without conscious realization, having seventy children attain Ninth Level Energy Refinement stirred a profound sense of emotion within Lu Changsheng.

Recalling those formative years on Qingzhu Mountain, reaching Ninth Level Energy Refinement was already considered a mark of a distinguished expert within the Family.

"Who could it be?"

As his own Cultivation Level ascended, Lu Changsheng had progressively paid less attention to the Cultivation progress of his Energy Refinement stage children. He was therefore unaware of which particular child had achieved the breakthrough to Ninth Level Energy Refinement.

He proceeded to access the Family interface for confirmation.

"Eh!?"

This brief glance, however, yielded an outcome far from reassuring; the moment he saw it, he was once again rendered speechless in astonishment.

What in the world?

How did I end up with another child again?

Wait a second!

Lu Changsheng looked at Yun Wanshang, whose cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul stage, and his heart tightened sharply.

Could it really have gone exactly as I’d predicted—after our Dual Cultivation, the pregnancy luck exploded and Yun Wanshang got pregnant right away?

Even though the probability of that was very small, practically negligible...

Judging by the state of the offspring tab in the system, things were roughly just like that.

I really didn’t intend to get Master pregnant!

A wave of joy surged in Lu Changsheng’s heart.

But right after, another wave of worry rose up.

Yun Wanshang was already in the Nascent Soul stage—would being pregnant at this time affect her Cultivation?

After all, during pregnancy the fetus would draw nourishment from the mother’s body, causing the mother to become physically weakened.

The longer the pregnancy, the greater the impact.

Especially since Yun Wanshang still had to face the extremely dangerous Nascent Soul Tribulation!

"But it’s only a Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation."

Looking at the Nascent Soul Phenomenon before him, Lu Changsheng then glanced at his Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror.

If worst came to worst, he could let the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror go up later and help block a couple of strikes.

But thinking that the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror carried his own Magic Aura and might affect Yun Wanshang, Lu Changsheng took out the [Nine Abysses Xuanwu Armor] from the System Space instead.

He hadn’t Refined this armor yet, so giving it to Yun Wanshang for Crossing Tribulation couldn’t be more suitable.

Next, another Jade Box appeared in Lu Changsheng’s hand.

This was precisely the Qilin Blood Marrow the Array Spirit of the Sealing Demon Land had given him.

The Essence Qi contained in this drop of Qilin Blood Marrow was exceedingly vast, far from comparable to the Qilin Essence Blood he and Yun Wanshang had taken.

He had originally planned to dilute this Blood Marrow when he got home and give it to his children to take, to temper and baptize their Physical Body.

But now, seeing Yun Wanshang pregnant and about to face the Tribulation with a certain degree of risk, he felt he could give this drop of Qilin Blood Marrow to her to take, to help her Cross Tribulation and nourish the fetus!

Lu Changsheng glanced again at his Storage Ring.

However, he had already given Yun Wanshang the Golden Small Tripod and Bone Talisman he’d obtained from his son Lu Quanzhen, so there was no need to use anything else.

"Hoo..."
