Chapter 2210

Who would have thought Zhong Wugan could skip this step entirely, let alone the next stage's opening—she had always retained her innate true qi!

The true power of cultivators is basically what they have painstakingly cultivated postnatally, including He Lingchuan. But actually, when a baby is just born, it carries a thread of innate true qi from the mother's womb, namely the so-called primordial qi.

This is a heaven-sent treasure, precious beyond description.

But as the baby breathes the turbid air of the mortal world, the meridians gradually stagnate, and this innate true qi will also dissipate completely within five days of birth.

From ancient to medieval times, there has always been a legend of "cultivating in the womb," precisely to take advantage of the unobstructed meridians to use this thread of innate true qi for cultivation, hoping to achieve twice the result with half the effort. But because of the existence of fetal mist, the legend has remained just a legend, with no one ever producing a concrete example.

Therefore, some evil cultivators and demonic masters have taken the crooked path, refining the purple river cart, most of them to extract that thread of innate true qi from fetuses and newborns to refine pills, but the effect can only last a few days at most.

This method violates heavenly principles and is intolerable to humanity.

Zhong Wugan, however, fundamentally does not need to go through all this trouble—the black dragon helps her meridians flow smoothly, and that thread of innate true qi remains in her viscera, without disappearing.

What is called heavenly-endowed extraordinary endowment, what is called heaven's favored child?

Truly, when comparing people, one dies of envy; when comparing goods, one throws them away.

No wonder the Scarlet General's cultivation speed is astonishingly fast, even in the previous environment of scarce spiritual energy.

When the spiritual energy of heaven and earth revives, she begins to advance at accelerated speed.

With such excellent bait in hand, plus the generous Grand Vase, Lady Lady Lady Mitian cannot help but take the hook.

"The biggest problem with this plan is that Lady Lady Lady Mitian's power is too overwhelming, and human strength cannot contend with it. I resolved the crisis of Panlongcheng, but I might bring even greater irreparable harm to this world." Zhong Shengguang has always been clear about what he is doing, "No matter how high Wugan's cultivation, her Dao attainment ultimately cannot match Lady Lady Lady Mitian's, making it impossible for her to prevail in a contest of souls."

"So you want to ask the Dragon God to intervene?"

"I said before, at that time my wife was pregnant." Zhong Shengguang spoke with a hoarse voice, "The Dragon God's primary soul has actually already merged with the Grand Vase, but still retains a portion of consciousness and power, so he infused it into the womb, to be born and grow together with Wugan."

"But we cannot let Lady Lady Lady Mitian discover that Wugan's sea of consciousness already contains two souls, and the Dragon God's spiritual consciousness power is so great that Wugan cannot bear it either." Before the Dragon God's fall, he was the closest existence to the Dao of Heaven, and after three thousand years of researching the laws of heaven and earth, who knows what level he has reached.

"His presence allows Wugan to begin using innate true qi and circulating internal energy in her mother's womb, thus achieving the innate primordial body; but as soon as a thought awakens, the still-in-womb Wugan will have her soul scattered and spirit dispersed."

Hearing this, He Lingchuan could already connect the cause and effect: "So the Dragon God has always been with the Scarlet General, but without awakening?"

"Exactly, he has sealed himself in the deepest part of Wugan's sea of consciousness, dissipated into nothingness. Even the repeated divine descents of Lady Lady Lady Mitian have failed to detect it!"

He Lingchuan drew a sharp breath of cool air: "Truly a heaven-reaching method."

Lady Lady Lady Mitian's multiple divine descents have all occurred in the Scarlet General's sea of consciousness, yet he has never detected the Dragon God's presence.

The war god whose name echoes through the demon realm—how could he be so easily deceived?

That level of contention is already beyond his imagination.

No wonder Zhong Shengguang previously said the spirit of the Grand Vase is gone—originally, it had already slipped into the Scarlet General's sea of consciousness years ago, lying in wait.

Zhong Shengguang said solemnly: "Once Lady Lady Lady Mitian's true form descends, we will use the Bright Lamp to awaken the Dragon God."

The Dragon God relies on the mystery in the womb to seal himself and conceal his existence. "Without the Bright Lamp, I fear my son will complete this life, and the Dragon God will never awaken."

"What should we do?"

"Since Lady Lady Lady Mitian's descent may come early, I hope you stay by the Scarlet General's side." Zhong Shengguang raised two fingers, "One is to ensure the Bright Lamp is activated to awaken the Dragon God; two is to protect her in her practice, for the battle between the Dragon God and the Great Heavenly Demon will surely be extremely cruel, and we do not know what situation will arise then."

"Yes." Judging from real history, the Dragon God and the Scarlet General likely succeeded, for the demon realm soon confirmed Lady Lady Lady Mitian's death afterward.

But in the Panlong World, the timeline is vastly different from before, and Lady Lady Lady Mitian's complete divine descent appears to come much earlier than in real history.

The most obvious difference is that, in real history, Panlongcheng's later development was not good, its strength continually shrank, and He Lingchuan had confirmed from Naluotian that before Lady Lady Lady Mitian's complete divine descent, his situation in the demon realm was also not favorable.

After all, the power of the heavenly demons is closely tied to the human world.

Therefore, at that time, Lady Lady Lady Mitian's complete divine descent may have been forced by circumstances, and he himself may not have truly made full preparations; otherwise, why would he hesitate so long before descending to the lower realm?

But in the current Panlong World, Panlongcheng is developing vigorously, and Lady Lady Lady Mitian in the demon realm is also powerful and wanton. His complete divine descent should be quite composed.

This makes He Lingchuan's heart feel very anxious.

Speaking of this, Zhong Shengguang added: "Wugan told me that in the past two years, Lady Lady Lady Mitian has had the Grand Vase produce a thousand Dragon-Punishing Pillars, I don't know where they were used, anyway none remained in his possession."

During Lady Lady Lady Mitian's descent, he can shield the Scarlet General's own senses, so she remains unaware of what the descending heavenly god does.

"Most likely, he entrusted them to his followers to gather demonic energy."

He Lingchuan's heart felt timid.

Listening to this, it seems the current Lady Lady Lady Mitian is not only composed but also powerful!

The function of those thousand Dragon-Punishing Pillars—he could guess with his knees that Lady Lady Lady Mitian must have entrusted them to his followers to absorb demonic energy, in preparation for his true body's descent!

"The appearance of the Dragon-Punishing Pillars was an accident. Lady Lady Lady Mitian originally wanted to study how to descend frequently without damaging his own divine power, tried this and that, and actually used the Grand Vase to create these Dragon-Punishing Pillars; used well, they became a tool to disrupt the demon realm." Zhong Shengguang sighed, "Very few people understand its use better than Lady Lady Lady Mitian."

Back then, Miao Zhantian and his dozen or so heavenly gods descended and overturned the sea, using only nine hundred Dragon-Punishing Pillars in total, yet Lady Lady Lady Mitian has a thousand!

The demon realm universally acknowledges that Lady Lady Lady Mitian's power surpasses that of Miao Zhantian. Therefore, he employs these thousand Dragon-Punishing Pillars to offset the massive loss during the divine descent process.

In other words, the Lady Lady Lady Mitian true form that the Panlong World faces this time may be far stronger than in real history!

No wonder Zhong Shengguang feels a heavy heart.

He has spent half his life preparing for this collision, but when it truly comes, he is restless and uneasy.

Zhong Shengguang paused, then said: "True form descent is also extremely perilous for Lady Lady Lady Mitian. So, he will be very cautious.

"

"Perilous?"

"After all, heavenly demons are souls descending, not their physical bodies arriving. Even if they have bodies forged through a hundred refinements, their souls are relatively fragile."
