Chapter 467: If You Don't Want to Give Birth, I Will!

Dao Companion?

As the black-veiled woman stared at him, Qi Yuan felt a sudden chill for some unknown reason.

"I already have a Dao companion, and we've even registered our marriage!" Qi Yuan quickly replied.

Ziyuan Zu, standing nearby, spoke softly, "This is the White Dragon Abyss Lord. I invited her here to offer her the role of your Guardian."

A Guardian, unlike a master, is more like an investor.

If the White Dragon Abyss Lord becomes the Guardian of the Blood Cloak, she must protect the Blood Cloak's safety until he matures.

In return, once the Blood Cloak has grown, he will need to repay the White Dragon Abyss Lord.

"If it weren't for this troublesome Lin Ya Transformation, I could naturally protect you fully. But with the undercurrents stirring, it's best to find you a Guardian." Ziyuan Zu conveyed this message to Qi Yuan through sound transmission.

The Dark Demon Abyss was becoming increasingly complex, and even the Black Sword had encountered a crisis.

Ziyuan Zu felt a strong sense of threat and wasn't confident in his ability to fully protect the Blood Cloak.

It was better to send him to the White Dragon Abyss.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan's eyes widened as he stared at the White Dragon Abyss Lord, "Are you the White Dragon Abyss Lord who gets pregnant just by glaring at someone?"

Qi Yuan wanted to run away.

He didn't want to get pregnant.

Ziyuan Zu's expression changed slightly when he heard this, "Please forgive the Abyss Lord, the Blood Cloak has always been impulsive!"

He feared that the Blood Cloak's words might anger the White Dragon Abyss Lord.

But to everyone's surprise, the White Dragon Abyss Lord laughed, "Geniuses are interesting precisely because of their unique personalities."

She looked at Qi Yuan with a faint smile, seemingly quite impressed.

However, her next words made Qi Yuan's face turn pale.

"If you don't mind giving me a child, I will be your Guardian and protect you fully. Even if the High Sovereign wants to kill you, I will ensure the safety of you and your child." The White Dragon Abyss Lord's words were astonishing.

Ziyuan Zu was shocked beyond measure.

Although he had invited the White Dragon Abyss Lord to be the Blood Cloak's Guardian, the protection she could offer was limited.

If it involved the High Sovereign, the White Dragon Abyss Lord might have to back down.

But from her words, if the Blood Cloak was willing to give her a child, she would even dare to challenge the High Sovereign for the Blood Cloak.

This was unimaginable.

As for the Blood Cloak giving birth, Ziyuan Zu didn't have any strong opinions.

But Qi Yuan was different. He exclaimed with wide eyes, "I can't give birth! I'm a man, how can I have a child?"

"Why can't a man give birth? At our level, who gives birth doesn't matter," the White Dragon Abyss Lord said earnestly, unconcerned.

Ziyuan Zu wasn't overly affected by this either.

Compared to the pursuit of immortality and personal safety, giving birth to a child was indeed insignificant.

If the White Dragon Abyss Lord's words were spoken in the Sixth Heaven, countless Yangshen Venerables would have rushed to offer themselves as surrogates.

Even Ziyuan Zu himself was tempted.

After all, a mother's status is elevated by her son.

If he could associate with the White Dragon Abyss Lord, how many years of struggle could he avoid?

Unfortunately, the White Dragon Abyss Lord had no interest in an old man like him.

"I refuse! I'm a man, and my gender identity is male!" Qi Yuan insisted, "We must recognize the differences and variations in human bodies."

The White Dragon Abyss Lord narrowed her eyes and said softly, "Ziyuan Zu probably hasn't told you that recently, a great battle occurred in Beyond Heaven. A traitor appeared in the Dark Demon Abyss, and the Black Sword nearly perished.

Even a Celestial Prodigy like the Black Sword, who has the ability to protect himself, almost met his end. What about you?

If there was a Yangshen Venerable of my level, or even a Yangshen Venerable of Ziyuan Zu's level, with or without malicious intent, do you think... you would still be alive?"

The White Dragon Abyss Lord spoke the truth, and this was Ziyuan Zu's concern.

If someone could ambush the Black Sword yesterday, they could do the same to the Blood Cloak today.

Qi Yuan shook his head, "After entering the cultivation world, all I seek is to follow my heart's desires and do as I please.

If I go against my heart, what's the point of cultivating?"

If Qi Yuan had only comprehended Absolute Adaptation, he might have agreed to the White Dragon Abyss Lord's proposal under the influence of the Great Supreme Principle.

Everything was for survival.

But he had also comprehended Do as You Please.

Ziyuan Zu sighed and bowed to the White Dragon Abyss Lord, "I've troubled the Abyss Lord."

He would respect the Blood Cloak's choice.

His only regret was that he might not have the ability to truly protect the Blood Cloak.

The White Dragon Abyss Lord narrowed her eyes, staring at Qi Yuan intently. After much thought, she finally said, "What if I give birth to a child for you?"

Ziyuan Zu's eyes widened in shock, and his body trembled. He was clearly astonished by her words.

He knew that the White Dragon Abyss Lord's true form was a dragon, specifically, a Yin Dark White Dragon.

This clan was particularly unique.

Usually, they didn't give birth themselves but sought Dao companions to bear their offspring, ensuring the continuation of their clan.

For this reason, they often intermarried with other clans.

Of course, there were some within the same clan who became Dao companions, but not many.

For the White Dragon Abyss Lord to personally give birth to the Blood Cloak's child was almost unimaginable.

If a Yin Dark White Dragon gave birth themselves, they would suffer a severe loss of essence energy and face life-threatening danger.

No Yin Dark White Dragon would choose to give birth themselves unless they were already severely injured and near death.

Now, the White Dragon Abyss Lord had actually regressed to such an extent, leaving Zi Yuan Ancestor in utter shock.

If it were a "Shrimp Head Man" from Blue Star, he would probably be fuming with rage!

The White Dragon Abyss Lord gazed at Qi Yuan with a confident look.

With such conditions, one could even say it was a highly sought-after opportunity.

But she never expected her reply to be...

"I refuse." Qi Yuan firmly declined, "Without love, marriage and childbirth are out of the question."

Although outsiders might think Qi Yuan had gained the upper hand, he still believed in gender equality and equality for all.

There were always some who thought that when a man and a woman became intimate, the man was the one who benefited.

Was it possible... that he was the one at a disadvantage?

Did he really need the White Dragon Abyss Lord as his Guardian at this moment?

In truth, he didn't.

More importantly, his enemy was the one from Taohuang Palace, and this feud would not end until one of them perished.

If he were to reveal this, would the White Dragon Abyss Lord really sacrifice herself for him against the Taohuang Palace? The chances were slim.

The White Dragon Abyss Lord looked at Qi Yuan, her eyes revealing a complex expression, "You... you won't agree either?"

Clearly, she was genuinely surprised.

"My apologies, White Dragon Abyss Lord, but I don't need a Guardian for now." Qi Yuan's attitude was resolute.

Although Zi Yuan Ancestor was shocked, she eventually sighed, "It seems the Blood Cloak and the Abyss Lord are destined to be together, but it's not meant to be."

The White Dragon Abyss Lord stared at Qi Yuan, her gaze deep and mysterious, and finally said with disappointment, "If you change your mind, you can always find me."

As the White Dragon Abyss Lord finished speaking, her figure disappeared at that moment.

After about a dozen breaths, outside the Dark Demon Abyss, a female Supreme Principle cultivator's eyes widened in shock.

"Abyss Lord, why did you suddenly want to bear a child with a junior...?

Hmph, this person is truly ignorant and arrogant, even refusing the Abyss Lord!"

This Supreme Principle cultivator was from the White Dragon Abyss, and since the conversation between the Blood Cloak and the Abyss Lord wasn't deliberately concealed, she was nearby and naturally overheard it.

She was both shocked and extremely dissatisfied.

What shocked her was the Abyss Lord's intention to have a child with the Blood Cloak.

She couldn't accept it! What qualifications did the Blood Cloak have?

Even if the Blood Cloak disagreed, she would still persuade the Abyss Lord to abandon the idea.

A profound expression flashed through the White Dragon Abyss Lord's eyes, and she asked without reason, "Are there any other dragons in the Sixth Heaven?"

The Supreme Principle cultivator's expression froze slightly when she heard this, "No, unless..."

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

Naturally, there were other dragons in the Sixth Heaven.

However, the Yin Dark White Dragon considered themselves the orthodox and original dragon clan, and they had expelled all other dragon clans.

These other dragons could only be considered mixed-blood or hybrid dragons.

Now, why was the White Dragon Abyss Lord asking this?

She was definitely not referring to those expelled dragons.

"I sensed the scent of other dragon bloodlines in him, very pure, very... ancient." The White Dragon Abyss Lord spoke in a low voice.

"There's actually dragon blood in him?" The Supreme Principle cultivator finally understood why the Abyss Lord was willing to have a child with the Blood Cloak.

If it were her, she would probably also be unable to resist the urge to bear a child with the Blood Cloak.

After all, the offspring of two pure dragon clans would be exceptionally formidable! According to the ancient divine words of the Yin Dark White Dragon clan, the birth of such offspring would inevitably lead to the emergence of a High Sovereign, or even higher.

The Yin Dark White Dragon clan, which had been declining and struggling for survival, would never let go of such an opportunity.

"Is it equivalent to our Yin Dark White Dragon clan, or a level higher?" The Supreme Principle cultivator asked.

The Yin Dark White Dragon clan had a sense of superiority, considering all other dragons as mixed-blood, and only viewing themselves as pure.

"I'm not sure." The White Dragon Abyss Lord shook her head, "I'll need to take a good look at him to know..."

The Supreme Principle cultivator hesitated for a moment, then her gaze became firm. "Abyss Lord, since he's unwilling to bear your child, should we kidnap him?"

The White Dragon Abyss Lord shook her head, her eyes filled with deep meaning, "The current state of the Dark Demon Abyss... is full of loopholes. Rest assured, he will beg me to be his Guardian, after all... he won't bear to see Ziyuan Heaven... destroyed."

The Supreme Principle cultivator's eyes narrowed when she heard this, "Will Ziyuan Heaven...?"

"This Lin Ya Transformation is hosted by Taohuang Palace, and they will certainly assert their authority.

No matter what, the Moon Goddess Palace has the Moon Goddess Venerable overseeing it, and nothing major will happen before the Lin Ya Transformation begins.

As for the Abyss Lord... hehe, the current situation is hard to predict.

He has always been selfish, or else he wouldn't have taken his own disciple's opportunity.

Now, for his own sake, he will definitely sacrifice... several chapters, exchanging kindness to stop Taohuang Palace.

The incident from the past has always been a thorn in the side of the Dark Demon Abyss Lord, and he can't wait to sacrifice Ziyuan Heaven..."

"But wouldn't this be going against Taohuang Palace?" The Supreme Principle cultivator asked with concern.

"If I can't protect Zi Yuan Ancestor, can't I at least protect my husband?" The White Dragon Abyss Lord's eyes flashed with a bright light.

As the White Dragon Abyss Lord, the ruler of a sacred land, she naturally had her own confidence.

They were all foxes with millions of years of experience, not easily killed.

Who didn't have a hidden trump card?

Of course, if Qi Yuan heard the White Dragon Abyss Lord's words, he would definitely say, "Pfft, Shrimp Head Woman, I haven't agreed to be your husband yet!"

On the other side, Zi Yuan Ancestor sighed sadly, "Such a good opportunity, and you let it slip away. The White Dragon Abyss Lord is a famous rich woman in the Sixth Heaven. If you could get her pregnant, you could save yourself millions of years of effort! If you don't want to give birth, there are plenty of others who can!"

He truly regretted that such a golden opportunity had been missed by the Blood Cloak.

"No need for that," Qi Yuan shook his head.

He had to rely on his own efforts!

As a native of Blue Star, he had to work hard to get rich, to strive, and could not just lie around!

"Ah, once the Lin Ya Transformation begins, danger can come at any moment. Even Black Sword might struggle to protect itself. My old body might not be able to keep you safe. How about… you go to the Moon Goddess Palace?" Ziyuan Ancestor looked at Qi Yuan and said casually.

He was genuinely worried.

Black Sword’s injury had sounded a warning bell for him.

In the Black Demon Abyss, undercurrents surged, hiding immense danger.

"Old man, you’re underestimating me. I still have some self-preservation skills!" Qi Yuan said confidently.

He was always working to enhance his cultivation.

He practiced the Ancestral Blood Art to boost his Ten Thousand Path God General’s strength; he refined the Human Emperor Banner; he solidified his Supreme Principle; and most importantly, the number of his Stellar Golden Cores kept increasing, reaching an astonishingly high number.

He didn’t know exactly how strong he was now.

But… restraining Ziyuan Ancestor shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

Of course, he had to remain low-key.

After all, Qi Yuan’s enemy, the High Sovereign of Taohuang Palace, was still very powerful.

"Ha, you?" Ziyuan Ancestor sneered.

"Old man, if it comes down to a real fight, to be disrespectful, your old arms and legs might not be a match for me."

"You’re getting cocky now!"

"Old man, I’m constantly improving and enhancing myself. What about you?" Qi Yuan said calmly.

He was indeed improving in every aspect.

Practicing the Ancestral Blood Art, boosting the Ten Thousand Path God General’s strength; refining the Human Emperor Banner; solidifying his Supreme Principle; and most importantly, the number of his Stellar Golden Cores kept increasing, reaching an astonishingly high number.

He didn’t know exactly how strong he was now.

But… restraining Ziyuan Ancestor shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

Of course, he had to remain low-key.

After all, Qi Yuan’s enemy, the High Sovereign of Taohuang Palace, was still very powerful.

"Get out, brat!" Ziyuan Ancestor shouted angrily and vanished.

"Old man, if you run into any trouble you can’t handle, come to me. Considering how filial you are, treating me like a grandfather, I’ll reluctantly help you out!"

"Get out!"

Only a series of angry shouts echoed from the sky.

Qi Yuan, seeing this, shrugged and returned to his Cavern.

Just as he entered the entrance to his Cavern, he saw Ziyuan Xiaolu waiting patiently.

"Blood Cloak Senior Brother, you went out?"

After leaving, Ziyuan Xiaolu went to gather information about Mystic Lands for Qi Yuan.

"Yeah, I went to see a shrimp-head girl. Ah… the morals in this Immortal Realm are terrible, they need to be corrected. Every girl I run into is a shrimp-head girl!" Qi Yuan sighed.

The Canglan Realm was better.

At first, the morals there were also bad, with many shrimp-head men and shrimp-head women.

Many people did nothing all day, just cursing each other online.

Fortunately, there was him. He directly traced the internet cables to find and beat people up, establishing the Blood Palace to correct the immoral behavior in the cultivation world.

Now, the Canglan Realm was truly a place of harmony and friendliness, a family of loving and peaceful people.

Now, the Sixth Heaven had too many problems.

There were those who corrupted morals, those who caused global warming by sucking in cold air, and those who could make anyone pregnant just by looking at them. All kinds of oddities were present.

This made Qi Yuan hesitant to go out, fearing that he might be seen and suddenly made pregnant.

What about his purity?

"Huh? What’s a shrimp-head girl?" Ziyuan Xiaolu clenched her fists, indignant. "What did she do to you, Blood Cloak Senior Brother?"

"She wanted me to have a child with her!"

"Too shrimp-headed!" Ziyuan Xiaolu nodded, clearly upset that someone would ask Blood Cloak Senior Brother to have a child.

She wouldn’t even let Blood Cloak Senior Brother have a child.

Beautiful men should be cherished, not used to have children.

If anyone should have a child, it should be her giving birth to Blood Cloak Senior Brother’s child.

"Later, she saw I wasn’t easy to persuade, so she offered to keep me and have the child herself," Qi Yuan said.

Ziyuan Xiaolu puffed up her cheeks, indignant. "She’s dreaming! How can such a thing happen? Blood Cloak Senior Brother, who is she? I’ll go and educate her myself. She’s too shameless!"

"Are you going to confront her and take her down?" Qi Yuan blinked. "But she’s quite strong. I’m afraid you might not be a match for her."

Hearing this, Ziyuan Xiaolu felt a warm sensation in her heart.

Blood Cloak Senior Brother was concerned for her.

"No matter how strong she is, I’m not afraid. I will reprimand her, and I will work to become stronger!"

"Sure, she’s the White Dragon Spring Lord. She shouldn’t have gone far yet. It’s not too late to go and scold her."

"Ah? Ah? Ah?" Ziyuan Xiaolu’s eyes widened in disbelief. "White Dragon Spring… Lord?"

"Yes, the old man wanted her to be my Guardian, but she insisted on having a child with me first. Ah, being too handsome is really dangerous. You get harassed all the time," Qi Yuan sighed.

Hearing this, Ziyuan Xiaolu was deeply shaken.

The news was like a bolt from the blue.

But then, she said with a pout, "Blood Cloak Senior Brother, I don’t dare scold the White Dragon Spring Lord. I don’t want to… get pregnant with her child!"

The White Dragon Spring Lord was known to make anyone pregnant with just a glance.

Ziyuan Xiaolu didn’t want to get pregnant out of wedlock.

"Haha, don’t worry, it’s a small problem."

"Qi Yuan didn't seem to mind, and he asked slowly, 'How's the situation with the Mystic Land?'

Zi Yuan Xiaolu immediately got to work.

'I've found three suitable Mystic Lands!' Zi Yuan Xiaolu said earnestly.

'Oh, which three?'

'The first is the Star Intoxication Mystic Land. From this land, one can see the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner at the Demon Gate. One day in the Sixth Heaven is equivalent to twelve days in the Star Intoxication Mystic Land.'

'This is the safest of the three. As long as Blood Cloak Senior Martial Brother sneaks in secretly, it will be safe.' Zi Yuan Xiaolu spoke with conviction.

'The flow of time is a bit slow there. What about the other two?' Qi Yuan asked.

Noticing the weakness of the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner, she estimated that it would take a long time.

'The second is the Lotus Mystic Land. One day in the Sixth Heaven is equivalent to thirty days there. However, this land is filled with a Lotus Intoxication that can intoxicate even Yang Deities, making it extremely dangerous.' Zi Yuan Xiaolu said nervously.

This land was too risky, and she didn't recommend Blood Cloak Senior Martial Brother to go there.

'And the last one?' Qi Yuan asked again.

Zi Yuan Xiaolu hesitated but still spoke, 'The last one is the Heaven Earth Mystic Land. One day in the Sixth Heaven is equivalent to about a year and a half there.'

'Oh? That's not bad!' Qi Yuan's eyes lit up.

If that's the case, it won't be long before he finds the weakness of the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner.

Not only will he be able to infiltrate the Demon Gate without raising suspicions, but he might even be able to claim that illusion as his own.

'But there seems to be a Yang Deity from the Holy Light Clan in that Mystic Land...' Zi Yuan Xiaolu said with some fear.

The terror of the Holy Light Clan was almost common knowledge among the various clans in the Sixth Heaven.

This clan originated from outside the Sixth Heaven.

When they spoke, ordinary cultivators tended to take their words seriously.

'Interesting, I'm very curious about this clan.' Qi Yuan showed a curious expression.

It must be said that Qi Yuan himself also took the words of the Holy Light Clan seriously, but his nose would grow longer.

This contradiction was quite intriguing.

'Don't worry, I'm not afraid of the Holy Light Clan.' Qi Yuan asked earnestly, 'Where is this Mystic Land located?'

Zi Yuan Xiaolu hesitated upon hearing this: 'Blood Cloak Senior Martial Brother, the Holy Light Clan is terrifying. I dare not tell you, in case you...'

'Relax, I've encountered the Holy Light Clan before, and I've even killed one of them.' Qi Yuan said proudly.

Initially, it took him the combined strength of nine oxen and two tigers to slay Dong Jun.

'Huh?' Zi Yuan Xiaolu was a bit skeptical.

'Rest assured, if you don't trust me, know that I'm a man who acts with certainty. I don't do things unless I'm sure of them. I'm also a man with a plan. Remember my great plan? Didn't Hui Sang die just as I had planned?' Qi Yuan said.

It was fine not to mention the plan, but when Qi Yuan brought it up, Zi Yuan Xiaolu was speechless.

'Blood Cloak Senior Martial Brother, Hui Zang Celestial Sovereign was killed by the Emperor Palace Envoy!' Zi Yuan Xiaolu said earnestly.

'Hmph, if not for my great plan, how could he have died? Everything is within my plan, my arrangement!' Qi Yuan said confidently.

'...' At this moment, Zi Yuan Xiaolu suddenly thought of something.

Blood Cloak Senior Martial Brother was looking for a Mystic Land where he could see the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner!

Currently, the one most interested in the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner was the Emperor Palace Envoy!

A crazy guess formed in her heart.

'Blood Cloak Senior Martial Brother, do you know the Emperor Palace Envoy?' She lowered her voice and asked stealthily, her heart pounding.

'Know him? I guess so, but I guess not.' Qi Yuan replied.

Did he know himself?

What was this called? Zi Yuan Xiaolu's heart stirred upon hearing this.

That mysterious and powerful Emperor Palace Envoy was someone Blood Cloak Senior Martial Brother knew! Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Blood Cloak Senior Martial Brother wouldn't be going to that Mystic Land; if anyone would, it would be the Emperor Palace Envoy.

'That Mystic Land is called the Heavenly Kun Treasure Land, and its specific location is...' Zi Yuan Xiaolu did not hide: a dict of parameters to input into the tool, or {} if it takes none

'This Mystic Land's name... is quite interesting. A coincidence?

Hmm, rest assured. As for today's matter, don't tell anyone about it!' Yuan thought for a moment and instructed.

'Okay!' Zi Yuan Xiaolu nodded vigorously, 'Blood Cloak Senior Martial Brother, you know me; my lips are sealed, and I'll never leak anything!'

She was now a bit excited, after all, she was doing a favor for both Blood Cloak Senior Martial Brother and the Emperor Palace Envoy, and it was a significant task.

After all, she had contributed to the formulation of the great plan, offering her strategies to make it more detailed.

Therefore, the Emperor Palace Envoy's execution of the great plan, the slaying of the Yang Deity, also had her share of credit.

Qi Yuan looked at Zi Yuan Xiaolu's small mouth and nodded with assurance: 'I trust your discretion!'

Zi Yuan Xiaolu left with a joyful heart.

Inside the cavern, Qi Yuan looked in the direction of the Heavenly Kun Treasure Land, his eyes gleaming with determination. 'One day in the Sixth Heaven is equivalent to half a month there. I'll strive to turn Guiyuetian inside out!'
