Chapter 2223

The huge World Ancient Tree does not currently exist, so there is no way to go home.

Xiao Feng then took the four sacred artifacts and Xun Shuang and the others to a secluded, untouched garden far away, personally standing guard and forbidding anyone from disturbing.

Jiang Ning and the others also understood the significance of this for Xiao Feng, and they all helped guard, each taking a direction, lest someone accidentally wander close.

As for Cai Yi, Little Xuan Die, and their demon clan friends, they temporarily settled on a distant mountain, waiting for the Divine Tree to return to its original state.

"Do I need to do anything?" Xiao Feng asked the Fortune Vessel.

The Fortune Vessel said: "You stand guard beside me; you may need to provide Qi Luck power for support."

"Fine, I have plenty of this Qi Luck."

"Qi Luck is meant to be spent; killing Emperor Jiang consumed 1000 jing, but later it was replenished, even gaining an extra 400 jing, with no loss at all."

"Old Seal, Old Bone, you two don't cause trouble over there," the Fortune Vessel said again, fearing the Primordial Sacred Bone and Human Emperor Seal would wreak havoc.

Human Emperor Seal chuckled: "This is the pride of our human clan; how could I cause trouble? Rest assured, Old Bone is fine too—I'm keeping an eye on it!"

Primordial Sacred Bone: "……"

As the only Primordial Sacred Artifact that got along well with Emperor Jiang, it felt out of place here.

"It has begun."

The Fortune Vessel didn't waste words, immediately beginning to circulate Qi Luck power.

Qi Luck is an intangible, formless thing—cannot be seen or touched, and even hard to sense.

But it does indeed exist, hidden within the lower-layer time rules of the high-dimensional universe, acting upon every moment of past, present, and future, influencing an individual, a family, a nation, a planet, and even a civilization's fortune.

When Qi Luck is strong, everyone is like a dragon, and the state prospers.

When Qi Luck wanes, there is much suffering and hardship, with extraordinary obstacles.

All the various big and small conflicts within the universe ultimately boil down to fighting over Qi Luck.

Xun Shuang Xianzi's body was endowed with a Qi Luck shackle; this is a personal Qi Luck tribulation. It poses little threat to Xun Shuang herself, but to the child in her womb it is like a dagger pressed to the throat, rendering it immobile and unable to grow for ten thousand years.

Xiao Feng and Xun Shuang, as parents, naturally could not stand idly by; all their cultivation and effort over the years were for this moment.

The Fortune Vessel released the Qi Luck power unique to Primordial Sacred Artifacts, beginning to deal with the Qi Luck shackle inside Xun Shuang Xianzi's body.

If we liken Qi Luck to a dragon, then at this moment inside Xun Shuang's body lies an evil dragon, coiled within her, its jaws clamped onto the child's body.

To drive it out without harming the child is quite a troublesome matter.

The Fortune Vessel carefully transformed Qi Luck law power into a divine dragon, attempting to lure the evil dragon out to battle.

But that evil dragon completely ignored it, being utterly shameless.

The Fortune Vessel had no choice but to change tactics, turning into countless small dragons that coiled around the evil dragon, suppressing its claws, then dozens of small dragons drilled into the evil dragon's mouth, forcefully prying its jaws open.

Bit by bit, from tightly shut to a slit opening, then to being able to see the infant's phantom caught in the dragon's jaws.

"Pearl, act!"

The Fortune Vessel reminded.

"Understood." The Wisdom Pearl immediately comprehended, transforming into a pair of gentle large hands that caught the infant's phantom and rescued it from the evil dragon's mouth.

"Xiao Feng, pour Qi Luck into your child!" the Fortune Vessel reminded again.

Bound by the Qi Luck shackle, the infant

the infant's phantom is obviously extremely weak; the myriad Qi Luck that Xun Shuang once plundered for it has lost its effect, like a flower that could wither at any moment, exceedingly fragile.

Xiao Feng's heart tightened; holding the Sword of Civilization, he drew forth Qi Luck power and infused it into Xun Shuang's body.

He dared not give too much at once, for to an individual life, excessive Qi Luck is not necessarily good and may instead bring disaster from Qi Luck.

The infant's phantom received nourishment from Human Clan Luck; its weakened state was checked, gradually stabilizing without worsening.

At the same time, the countless small dragons transformed by the Fortune Vessel merged into a divine dragon, which began to battle the Qi Luck evil dragon.

Inside Xun Shuang's body one could almost hear a deep, muffled roar.

That was a contest between the Qi Luck power of the Strange Spirit clan and that of the Ghost Fish clan.

At this moment the child had already escaped danger; the Human Emperor Seal, seeing this, said: "Old Night Vessel, let me help you!"

Immediately it released a bundle of golden light, shining upon Xun Shuang's body.

Swish!

The golden light was likewise Qi Luck power, bearing the supreme suppressing might of the Human Emperor Seal's top treasure; it transformed into a divine mountain that smashed onto the evil dragon's head.

The evil dragon let out a mournful howl, was seized by the divine dragon, and fell from the sky.

During its fall, its body shattered and dispersed, turning into countless fragments of Qi Luck radiance that vanished into nothingness.

"Hehe, it's simple, not the slightest difficulty." the Fortune Vessel chuckled.

Xiao Feng let out a great sigh of relief.

This process seemed simple, but it was actually fraught with danger.

Without the Fortune Vessel's power to oppose the Qi Luck icebox's force, his child could never be freed.

The Heaven-Shaking Arrow's edge can indeed slay the evil dragon, but when slaying the evil dragon it would inevitably also slay the child.

Today's smooth outcome resulted from the union of the three Primordial Sacred Artifacts; lacking the Human Emperor Seal might not be a big problem, but lacking either the Wisdom Pearl or the Fortune Vessel would make this impossible.

"Brother Xiao Feng Daoist."

Xun Shuang also already knew the result, looking toward Xiao Feng with eyes glistening with tears, having waited for this day a long time.

Xiao Feng was still continuously using Qi Luck power to sustain the infant's lifeline within her; seeing her expression, he couldn't help but draw her into his embrace, softly saying: "It's alright, it's over. From now on you're not allowed to run about; stay obediently by my side until our child is born."

Xun Shuang nodded her chin, this time not resisting him, being very obedient.

But after a while, once her joy had faded, she added: "I... we are merely daoist companions."

Xiao Feng couldn't help but be speechless: "Do you yourself believe that?"

"I..."

Xun Shuang lowered their head, and for a moment their feelings were mixed.

"All right, great accomplishment achieved, time for a big sleep!" The Cauldron of Creation and the Wisdom Pearl each suffered some loss; they then darted straight into Xiao Feng's body, hiding away to rest.

The Human Emperor Seal saw that the Primordial Treasure Bone was still standing nearby, and said, "Old bone, stay put for now; I'll send you home later."

Ah, okay...

The Primordial Treasure Bone also had no recourse; as a lone Supreme Treasure with no one to activate it, its effect was limited, and it could not contend with Xiao Feng.

Thus it had no choice but to hide together with the Cauldron of Creation and the Wisdom Pearl, concealed on Xiao Feng's body.

The Human Emperor Seal said to Xiao Feng, "Young man, I see your strength is not bad; are you interested in becoming the Human Emperor?"

Xiao Feng's mood was pleasant at the moment; in his arms was the most perfect living being of the virtual universe, and moreover inside her body there was

There was a life crystal belonging to both of them.

Regarding the Human Emperor Seal's question, he laughed and replied, "No interest; I just want to live a carefree, happy life now."
