Chapter 2225: No Need for Ten Thousand Years

Di Jiang's relics, Xiao Feng only took the Space Origin Heart and the Space Wing, didn't take anything else, and let the women divide them to increase their strength.

There were also some they couldn't use, and other friends could use, so they also divided them out.

Although Xiao Feng didn't fancy many of the items, the total value of the dropped items from a Law Extreme Realm was still very high—over two hundred items in total. Taking just the most valuable batch could still strengthen a team of fifty.

With this harvest's support, the expert team of Blue Star No. 8 War Zone grew stronger again.

Over the next three days, Xiao Feng went nowhere, sticking with Xun Shuang every day.

It wasn't that he was shamelessly clinging to Xun Shuang; mainly, the child needed Qi Luck, and only he could provide it.

Under the nourishment of Zuzun Qi Yun, after three days, the child in Xun Shuang's womb finally stabilized completely.

To be honest, this child isn't really a 'child' yet—it's merely an undeveloped embryo.

After the danger was lifted, it took root inside the mother's body, began absorbing nutrients, and gradually grew and developed.

However, this process is extremely slow.

The guess about the Heaven-Shaking Arrow was correct: the gestation period of Xiao Feng and Xun Shuang's child will be countless times longer than that of an ordinary person's child, requiring ten thousand years to be born.

Even after developing into a humanoid form, it would take hundreds of years, then remain in a fetal state for over nine thousand years, continuously absorbing the power of Qi Luck and the mother's life force, growing stronger bit by bit.

Xiao Feng roughly calculated that, if it grew at this rate, the child would probably have the strength of a Divine God-level being as soon as it was born.

"With such talent, I fear Heaven's envy……"

He was a little worried.

This "Heaven" does not refer to

the supreme god of the virtual world, but the rules of the great cosmos.

The stronger a lifeform is, the harder it is to reproduce; even if born, it could still be destroyed by calamities.

He cannot predict the future now; he can only take things step by step, striving to become stronger so that in ten thousand years he will have the ability to protect the child.

"Fellow Daoist, you can let go now……"

Xun Shuang, having been held by him for three days, felt her internal condition finally stabilize, and couldn't help but say.

Xiao Feng let her go as she said, and the two sat on the grassy ground; beside them was the bottomless abyss formed where the roots of the World Ancient Tree had receded.

"Shuang'er, do you still remember the Primordial Treasure Vessel? You can now begin absorbing Chaotic Spiritual Energy." Xiao Feng said to her.

"I remember."

Xun Shuang took out the Ninth-rank Supreme Treasure that Xiao Feng had previously given her.

【Primordial Treasure Vessel】 is a treasure that nurtures Chaotic Spiritual Energy; it takes three thousand years to form a single stream of it, and each stream is extremely precious.

The bottle currently contains 1001 streams of Chaotic Spiritual Energy; if all were consumed, one could gain 100100 billion units of cultivation.

But Xiao Feng would certainly be reluctant to do so.

Although losing levels would be severe, he could slowly cultivate his way back up on his own.

These three days of holding Xun Shuang without moving, his cultivation hasn't dropped either; under the recent 100% basic cultivation growth buff, he gains more than one level per day, and has already reached level 875.

This is still the speed after losing the World Ancient Tree's super spiritual aperture.

If he returned to the previous environment, given that he still maintains the cultivation speed of a God King Realm, cultivating in the Divine God Realm would be as easy as drinking water.

Xun Shuang opened the treasure vessel, and a wisp of purple-colored energy drifted out.

This is the Chaotic Spiritual Energy, also called Primordial Qi.

, it is the unique source of creation from when heaven and earth first opened, distinct from the Myriad Things Source Qi, carrying within it the laws of creation and Qi Luck, a kind of miraculous object that cannot be copied.

Even the Myriad Things Source Qi, which can shape all things, cannot be used to shape Chaotic Spiritual Energy.

Xun Shuang swallowed the purple spiritual energy into her mouth and quickly put the treasure vessel away.

For her as an NPC, Chaotic Spiritual Energy has a strong nurturing effect on the body, making her stronger.

But she didn't take advantage of this; after the spiritual energy entered her body, she quickly directed it to the area near her lower abdomen, broke it down and refined it, then, through the mother-child connection point, nourished the child who had just begun to develop.

Unexpectedly, with the nourishment of Chaotic Spiritual Energy, the originally slow-developing embryo suddenly grew by leaps and bounds!

Xiao Feng's Divine Sense had been monitoring the child's condition; noticing this change, he exclaimed delightedly, "As it turns out, Chaotic Spiritual Energy can also accelerate growth! After absorbing these 1001 streams of spiritual energy, perhaps the child could be born directly!"

Xun Shuang was also surprised, and said with some worry, "This… this might not be good…"

She feared that pulling up the seedlings would damage the child's foundation.

Xiao Feng hurriedly inquired of the various Primordial Sacred Artifacts within his body.

The result: all the treasures said Chaotic Spiritual Energy is beneficial and harmless, so just absorb it with peace of mind.

Even if born early, there would be no harm; only the gestation period would be shorter, possibly resulting in less Qi Luck absorbed.

Xiao Feng immediately relayed these words to Xun Shuang, then mobilized more Qi Luck to begin nourishing the embryo.

From ten thousand years down to 1001 days, this acceleration factor is somewhat terrifying.

Xiao Feng, who had originally prepared to wait until old age to hold a baby,

, now his heart is very excited.

He wanted to give his child the best of everything; Qi Luck naturally wouldn't be stingy—he would give the child as much as it could absorb.

That day he still went nowhere, continuously monitoring Xun Shuang's bodily condition.

Over the course of the day, the embryo absorbed a total of 3.2 billion Qi Luck, three times the speed compared to its previous weak state.

Then came the second day.

The second day's nourishment with Chaotic Spiritual Energy sped up the embryo's development a bit more; it began to constantly divide, just like an embryo in the fourth week of pregnancy, gradually forming a tiny brain.

And on that day, its Qi Luck absorption speed reached 7.8 billion, increasing by more than double again!

"This little thing really can eat; if it weren't for our family's deep reserves, we really couldn't afford to raise him." Xiao Feng said with a laugh.

In just two days they consumed 1.1 billion Qi Luck—a terrifying figure for an ordinary war zone; to obtain it one would have to slay many players from other zones.

On the third day, Chaotic Spiritual Energy continued to nourish, and the embryo's Qi Luck absorption reached 1.6 billion, still growing exponentially, with development becoming very apparent.

By the fourth day, the child already had a heart, like a six- to seven-week pregnancy; Xun Shuang's body now had a noticeable little thing, and a sweep of Divine Sense could clearly detect it.

The Qi Luck value was increasing day by day; seeing that the consumption doubled each day, Xiao Feng worked out a simple math problem and then realized his clan's Qi Luck value… apparently wasn't enough.

No, to be precise, if it keeps doubling like that, even if he owned a whole universe, he couldn't afford to raise this child.

It is estimated that after reaching a certain level, the absorption speed will

gradually decrease.

Xun Shuang Xianzi also came to fully appreciate the benefits of staying by Xiao Feng's side these past few days.

The child's speed of absorbing Qi Luck was too fast; she compared the Qi Luck strength Xiao Feng gave her with her own plundering speed in the Void Sea, and helplessly found that her accumulation over the past few months was still less than what Xiao Feng casually gave her.

Making this comparison, she inevitably felt some self-reproach; she shouldn't have gone to the Void Sea, dragging Xiao Feng and herself into hardship for so long.

At the same time, deep down she vaguely felt that being together with Xiao Feng seemed like a not‑bad choice.

But…

Whenever this idea popped up, she would rap herself on the head, warning herself not to forget her mission, and not to resign herself to becoming Xiao Feng's woman just because of the child.
