Chapter 369: Dragon‑Phoenix Twins, Twin Stars

"What kind of operation is reborn back to the mother's womb?"

Lin Chuan was both bewildered and amused.

The little baby girl kicking him with her tiny feet was none other than his sister Lin Yangyang.

What a fellow!

He directly became a dragon‑phoenix twin.

"Kid's dad, listen quickly, the two little ones are fighting in the womb again."

Even in his daze, he could still hear a woman's laughter.

"You've worked hard, madam."

Then a rugged man's voice said, "Our family's two little ones are the heaven‑chosen ones who have drawn the Primordial Chaos Twin Stars phenomenon; they will surely reach the pinnacle in the future."

The woman gently stroked her belly, "I only hope they can grow up safely and peacefully."

"In the cultivation world, nothing ever goes smoothly."

The man said, "Only when one's strength is sufficiently great can one be safe; otherwise everything is empty talk."

The woman sighed, "Our Lin Family is fairly prominent in Jiangnan Prefecture, but compared to the great kingdoms, we are hardly worth mentioning."

"Within the vast realm of the Cloud Kingdom, like rootless floating duckweed, how can we support the children to venture out?"

"In my view, husband, you should abandon that idea."

"Marrying into the Protector General's household would only harm us."

"Nonsense!" the man shouted angrily, "You are showing a woman's mercy!"

The woman's voice grew sharper, "I am only thinking of the children, unlike you, who only cares about the family business!"

"I've recently heard many rumors: the Grand General's achievements shake the ruler, and he is being targeted by the great nobles; it looks glorious but is actually precarious."

"It could be destroyed at any moment; if we marry into the Grand General's house and get entangled, we could face the extermination of the whole clan."

"Besides, what does our Lin Family have to compare with the Grand General's house?"

"Since ancient times, families have stressed matching status; our children being with the Grand General's daughter would only suffer grievances."

The woman began to cry as she spoke.

"Hey... madam, don't cry! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, can't that be enough?"

The man's expression turned complex.

Seeing her look, the woman guessed, "Have you already accepted the Grand General's marriage contract?"

"Yes."

The man nodded.

The woman's face instantly turned pale, for concluding the marriage contract meant being completely bound to the General's house.

Break the contract?

The Lin Family doesn't have that right.

If we offend the General's house, they could snap their fingers and annihilate the Lin Family.

"Madam, every undertaking carries risk."

The man said, "The Grand General's cultivation is unparalleled; he is the Cloud Kingdom's protective pillar, who would dare move him?"

"You also said our Lin Family is too small."

"Yet our children are not ordinary pond‑fish; we cannot support them, so the marriage is a forced measure."

The man talked back and forth for a long time.

"Hmph!"

The woman's expression gradually softened, "But you must promise me one thing: if any power again proposes marriage, targeting our daughter, you will absolutely refuse!"

"Alright, alright, alright."

The man nodded repeatedly, "I guarantee, if anyone dares to make a move on our daughter, I will fight them to the death!"

In the mother's womb.

Lin Chuan fell into contemplation.

His sister's calf was still kicking, her tiny foot repeatedly smacking his face with unusual force.

His faint consciousness drifted, and Lin Chuan could see a Ziwei Star seal at his sister's brow, wildly absorbing spiritual energy.

"In the womb she just devours energy, no wonder sister is so strong," Lin Chuan held his breath and focused, "I cannot fall behind either."

This time, it is not a dream reincarnation.

But a rebirth into the ancient era with full memory.

Various cultivation techniques filled Lin Chuan's mind.

"Ordinary techniques are useless; my goal is the Black Mist, and I must pursue ultimate strength from the start, without wasting time."

Reborn for a lifetime, this time perhaps there is no room for trial and error.

"If one wishes to cultivate, one must certainly practice the Dao of Reincarnation."

"This is my supreme path."

"But the conditions to unfold the Burial Spirit Domain are overly complex; would cultivating in the womb trigger anomalies? Could I be treated as a freak and killed?"

While Lin Chuan pondered.

A digital notification sound rang in his mind.

【Congratulations, host, Shikong traversal successful; this system will unlock a new feature — Dream Cultivation Space.】

【Dream Cultivation Space: This is a special realm that can be opened under certain conditions; upon entering, time flow slows, one day inside equals a year outside, applicable only to soul cultivation.】

【Activation condition: When your soul enters the Dream Cultivation Space to train, your Physical Body will become stagnant, unable to gain any cultivation.】

"Nice stuff."

Lin Chuan never really emphasizes the path of the Physical Body.

The cultivation difficulty of soul enlightenment is far higher than that of the Physical Body; as long as the soul's strength is sufficient, with the right resources and qualifications, stacking the Physical Body's strength is not difficult.

Only if one is a body cultivator does that become a different matter.

Lin Chuan's goal is the path of Reincarnation, and he aims to reach an extremely high level.

According to the five tiers of the Immortal Realm he devised, he must reach at least the fourth tier before the Black Mist disaster erupts in order to control the situation.

That is, the state in future dreams where he masters the full Reincarnation and becomes the master of the world's Reincarnation.

"My time seems ample, but in fact it is pressing."

"I must be far ahead of this era to snuff the future nightmare in the cradle."

"In this life, no one around me may die again."

"System, I want to enter the dream cultivation space."

【Warm reminder: You are still in the womb; please first forge a perfect Reincarnation Sacred Body Dao embryo before entering the dream space for cultivation, for better results.】

"How to forge it?"

【Please refer to the Human River of Reincarnation in the Ancient God Absolute Realm.】

"Understood."

Lin Chuan seemed thoughtful.

"Sister, I'm sorry."

He looked at his sister, who was greedily inhaling spiritual energy and nutrients, and said, "I will start absorbing too."

Lin Chuan circulated the Swallowing Inhalation and Exhalation Technique.

For an unborn baby, this exhalation technique is completely beyond ordinary.

A massive surge of spiritual energy instantly rushed toward Lin Chuan's body.

Having her energy taken, the sister was very angry; the Ziwei Star Seal on her forehead shone intensely, and her swallowing became even more turbulent.

Gurgle!

The woman who had just finished eating patted her belly, "Why am I hungry again? I just ate. What's going on?"

"Xiao Cui, tell the kitchen again to make me more spiritual food."

"My two children are truly remarkable; even in the womb they eat so much, and once born they will surely astonish the world."

"I don't know whether that's good or bad."

"A commoner is innocent but bears the guilt of possessing a treasure; the woman understood this principle well."

The Cloud Kingdom, as the world's oldest imperial dynasty, is filled with noble families, with many princes, dukes, and ministers; there are far too many powerful figures capable of crushing the Lin Family.

None of them is someone the Lin Family can afford to offend.

Soon, a huge spread of sumptuous dishes was brought to the table.

After the servant withdrew, Mrs. Lin began to eat ravenously; to nurture the two children, the Lin Family's fortune had been drained by more than half.

Only one result remains.
