Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The two arrived beside the first teleportation array, at a distance of roughly five zhang.

What was set up outside just now was merely a teleportation node; what comes next is the main event — the true teleportation array core.

Once this is done, Xu Zhangqing will no longer need to go to Silver Light Cave, and whether it is the First Quarter Moon night or the Full Moon night, he can enter the Taiyin Jushi's secluded cultivation place.

Next, the two acted, their tacit understanding complete.

Engraving spirit patterns, inlaying Spatial Earth Origin Fruits.

After a while, the setup was finally complete.

Just as it took shape, it resonated with the teleportation node over there.

The two consumed spirit stones, testing back and forth several times.

Seeing there were no issues whatsoever, they finally set their minds at ease.

Yellow spiritual light rippled around the female earth: "The array is set; we should merge now."

Having spoken, she swiftly merged into Xu Zhangqing's body.

The two instantly became inseparable, fusing completely into one.

Immediately after, the Golden Core and magical power in Xu Zhangqing's Qi Sea all became somewhat heavier.

After all, with each spirit root he separates, his own cultivation and abilities decrease.

For instance, the earth spirit root represented by the female earth — although her array techniques would not vanish, they would diminish.

The others — Zhu Rong, Gonggong, Tai Bai — are the same.

This is also why, unable to maintain Five Elements Balance, Xu Zhangqing immediately dropped from a Heaven-grade Golden Core to an Earth-grade Golden Core, and even the "Five-Colored Divine Light" could not be used.

Now, with the earth spirit root returned to its place, his own realm rose from Golden Core Middle Stage to Golden Core Late Stage, and his aura became much more substantial in an instant.

Feeling the rise in cultivation, Xu Zhangqing took a deep breath, striving to let himself adapt.

After a moment, once he had completely stabilized, he then walked toward the first teleportation array.

Before leaving, he glanced back at the Thunder Dragon Water-Avoiding Boat, discovering this thing was still bullying the Black Coffin.

The look of it: unless it thoroughly "eats clean and wipes dry," it absolutely will not give up.

However, this is of no consequence to him; after all, similar coffins are too numerous to count.

Missing this one, there are still hundreds or thousands, and even rarer ones can be found.

With a flash of his figure, the whole person teleported from his Personal Space to Cangyan Peak.

This place is not far from the Immortal Sect, only about ten thousand li.

He cast the divine ability Shrinking Earth to Inches; the moment he lifted his right foot to stride forward, everything around him suddenly stretched, then the objects ahead began to magnify, becoming clearer and clearer.

When it reached the limit, his right foot fell.

The whole person directly crossed a distance of several hundred li, arriving at the place his gaze reached.

Then repeating the same method, each crossing would bring him to another district.

At a glance, the movements looked very slow.

In reality, he was already so fast that not even an afterimage remained.

Before long, the Immortal Sect's outline appeared before his eyes.

……

……

Several months' time passed in a flash; the spring breeze brushed over Dongting Immortal Sect.

Hongfeng Valley shed winter's chill, bursting with vibrant life.

The spirit fields in the valley were lush green; spirit rice jointed, spirit plants budded.

Stream water murmured as it flowed; unknown wild flowers vied to bloom, attracting bees and butterflies dancing in flight — a scene of peaceful tranquility.

Since returning, Xu Zhangqing hardly went out; every day he stayed in Hongfeng Valley, attentively caring for the pregnant Ruo Qunshuang.

Yet the most anxious one was not him, but the acquaintances at his side.

Before the birth, Hu Bugui arrived bringing Lin Xiaoyan.

Zhao Ziyue and Li Sancai even vied to help manage the spirit fields.

Miao Huayu, Lin Xiaoman, and others specially sent spirit fruits and spirit teas for stabilizing the pregnancy.

The three little ones were each more nervous than the last; they walked on tiptoe, not daring to breathe heavily.

But for surprise, it had to be Eldest Senior Sister Bei Qingtang.

She specially rushed over from Qingmu Peak and entered the delivery room together with Lin Xiaoyan.

Even the corridors and passages were packed full of people.

Everyone watched the delivery room tensely, awaiting the final result.

Xu Zhangqing was instead the calmest one, smiling lightly as he asked: "Would you all like some tea?"

Hu Bugui said irritably: "Lao Xu, your Dao Companion is in there giving birth, and you still have the mood to drink tea?"

Xu Zhangqing spread his hands, shrugged: "Hard to say I should wear a worried frown, fretting over this and that?

Come on, Frost Sister is a Golden Core True Person!"

Moreover, the midwives are all Golden Core True Persons

One Earth-grade Golden Core.

A Qin Hua Golden Core.

At these words, the surrounding people fell into thoughtful silence.

That's right~

People like them either have a Qin Hua Golden Core or are still at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

And they're actually worrying about an Earth Grade Golden Core giving birth?

Unless an accident occurs, otherwise it's impossible for anything to go wrong!

However, even so, aside from Xu Zhangqing, the others were still very worried.

When it comes down to it, this is the first child born to Xu Zhangqing and Ruo Qunshuang.

Whether boy or girl, to everyone it's very important.

To put it bluntly, this isn't just a child, it also concerns many things in the future.

If it were just an ordinary cultivator's child, everyone naturally wouldn't care.

It just so happens this child's father is the Spirit Field Grain Master, and also a Core Disciple of Qingmu Peak.

Identity and status are both not simple, impossible to be ignored by people.

This is also why Hu Bugui and the others are more worried than Xu Zhangqing.

No choice, Xu Linglong is too hard to communicate with.

You say east, she says west.

You say food, she says play.

Except for Father, Mother, Sun Shangxiang, Lin Feng, she can't get on the same wavelength with anyone.

Time passed like this, minute by minute, second by second, nonstop.

At first, there wasn't the slightest movement inside the delivery room.

Hu Bugui stood on tiptoe peering: "What's going on?"

Zhao Ziyue hurriedly grabbed him: "It's not you giving birth!"

Li Sancai stood to the side holding a jade box, thinking to himself: "Spirit pills are all prepared!"

The three little ones huddled in the corner, heads together, the few of them even held their breath extremely lightly, eyes full of anticipation and nervousness.

"Senior Sister, Senior Brother, I'm going to be an Elder Sister!"

"Right, right, soon you won't be the smallest anymore!"

"But, Junior Sister Linglong in another hundred years will still look like this, right?"

Unknown how long passed, a wave of spirit power rippled from inside the delivery room.

Then, a loud "wah-wah" cry tore through Hongfeng Valley's tranquility.

The cry was clear and strong, penetrating power extremely strong, instantly dispelling everyone's nervousness.

Xu Zhangqing's eyes lit up, immediately walking to the delivery room door.

Just now he said he wasn't anxious, now he's more anxious than anyone.

Hu Bugui and the others behind him seeing this, exchanged smiles one after another.

After a while, the delivery room door was gently pushed open.

Then, Eldest Senior Sister Bei Qingtang walked out holding an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, a gentle smile on her face: "Congratulations Junior Brother, it's a boy!"

Xu Zhangqing stepped forward quickly, carefully receiving the child.

The little fellow had his eyes closed, mouth slightly moving, pink and jade-carved appearance extremely cute.

Hu Bugui was the first to squeeze over, stretching his neck to examine: "Why do I feel... later he'll be more handsome than Lao Xu?

But not to mention, the eyebrows and eyes really take after you!"

Hu Bugui asked curiously: "Have you thought of a name yet?"

Everyone crowded around, eyes full of joy and anticipation.

Xu Zhangqing looked down at the child in his arms, gaze quite gentle, smiling lightly: "May he have a life of peace and safety, no disaster no calamity.

Let's call... Xu Ping'an!"
