Su Chun’s gaze swept over the group, and her expression momentarily froze as she locked onto one particular girl who was keeping her head lowered, her face flushed with shyness.
Among the dozen or so people present, this girl was the most conspicuous, and she looked quite young and inexperienced.
Most importantly, Su Chun had seen her before.
“Uncle, how about this younger sister?”
Su Chun pointed at the girl who looked even younger than her.
Hearing this, the girl immediately looked at Su Chun in disbelief and pointed at herself.
“Me?”
Su Chun nodded.
The members of the Wang family were all stunned.
The girl Su Chun had chosen was arguably the one with the poorest aptitude and the lowest status present.
However, as long as Su Chun liked her, the Wang family would naturally not stop it.
“Little girl, what is your name?”
Wang Yu asked immediately.
The shy girl hurried to give a respectful bow.
“Family Head, I — I am called Wang Xi.”
“Hmm? It’s you? Well, since the young lady has chosen you, from this moment on, you are promoted from the side branch to the main branch. After the Ten Thousand Races Assembly concludes, you will marry into the Dantai family as a young lady of the Wang family’s main line. Go on, go meet your fiancé; this is your lucky break.”
Wang Yu naturally knew of Wang Xi; he just hadn’t expected her to be the one Su Chun selected.
Wang Xi was overjoyed upon hearing this.
“Yes, Family Head.”
With an excited heart, Wang Xi hurried to stand before Su Chun and gave a bashful, traditional bow.
“Lady Dantai, may you have many blessings. I — I am called Wang Xi. I — I will definitely serve you well in the future.”
Wang Xi hadn’t expected that after they had just met a short while ago, she would now become her fiancée.
The reason Su Chun chose Wang Xi was that she didn’t know how to choose anyway, so she figured she might as well pick someone she had a connection with.
“There’s no need to be so formal. For now, let’s just address each other as sisters.”
Wang Xi nodded.
Tantai Xuan did not interfere with Su Chun’s choice.
“Since that’s the case, then it’s settled. We’ll discuss the specifics after the Ten Thousand Races Assembly. Family Head Wang, Chun’er and I won’t stay any longer.”
Tantai Xuan stood up, prepared to return.
“Very well. I know the Head of the Dantai Family is busy with many affairs, so I won’t try to make you stay.”
—
Led by the members of the Wang family, Su Chun followed Tantai Xuan to the main gate.
“Sister Wang Xi, I’ll see you in a few months.”
Su Chun waved at Wang Xi, then entered the immortal carriage with Tantai Xuan.
Under the gaze of the crowd, they flew away from the Wang family.
Left behind was the dazed Wang Xi.
She never would have imagined such a stroke of good fortune would fall upon her.
“That Wang Xi really is lucky. A pheasant turning into a phoenix?”
Many of the Wang family women felt a pang of jealousy toward Wang Xi.
Inside the carriage, as they left the Wang family in Wuliang Heaven, Tantai Xuan took an exquisite box out of her spatial treasure and handed it to Su Chun.
“Chun’er, this is the dowry from the Wang family. It is a special treasure called the Divine Pen of Creation. After we return, use these three months of preparation time to practice your drawing skills.”
Su Chun immediately opened the box to take a look.
Inside lay a paintbrush emitting a nine-colored radiance.
“Mother, this? What effect does this brush have?”
Tantai Xuan explained immediately.
“This pen belonged to a Celestial Immortal from the Immortal Ancient Era who attained the Dao through painting. It is a very special treasure. Anything drawn with this pen will immediately become reality. You lack power and cannot use mighty treasures, but this pen’s power is based on the user’s Divine Soul strength. It happens to be perfectly suited for you.”
Su Chun was stunned.
‘She thought of a character from her past life, Ma Liang and his Magic Brush.’
“By the way, Mother, what exactly is the situation with that Yang Vein Power leaving the body you mentioned? Also, how do I get Luo Li and the others pregnant? Was that glowing scene between you and Aunt Lan yesterday the standard procedure?”
After putting away the Divine Pen of Creation, Su Chun remembered a very important question.
This question had been stifled in her heart for a long time.
The live teaching session yesterday had been too stimulating, and she had passed out directly.
Now that she had finally found an opportunity to ask privately, she had to get to the bottom of it!
Tantai Xuan looked at her daughter’s face, which was filled with a thirst for knowledge, and burst into laughter.
She reached out and pinched Su Chun’s delicate cheek.
“You child, you’ve even forgotten that? It seems your memory loss really is thorough.”
Su Chun gave a cheeky grin, playing dumb.
“My head is empty, I can’t remember anything.”
Tantai Xuan didn’t expose her and cleared her throat, beginning a simple yet profound explanation.
“The Yang Vein women of our Dantai family possess the Pure Yang Source Power within our bodies. This power was bestowed upon us by our ancestor.”
Su Chun nodded; she understood that much.
“As for letting the Yang Vein Power leave the body, it doesn’t mean it truly leaves you. Instead, it’s about finding an outlet to blend it with a woman’s extremely Yin and supple power to reach a state of balance.”
Tantai Xuan’s tone became a bit subtle.
“As for the process… it’s just like what Aunt Lan and I did yesterday. Through intimate contact, you guide your Yang Essence into the other person’s body.”
Su Chun’s face instantly turned beet red.
Her mind uncontrollably flashed with images of Luo Li’s cold, exquisite face and Luo Yu’s charming, seductive figure.
For her to take the initiative to guide it… how was she, a guy in her previous life, supposed to go through with that?
“Then — how is the child born?”
Su Chun’s voice was as quiet as a mosquito’s buzz, barely audible.
“When your Yang Essence perfectly blends with the other party’s Yin Essence to reach the pinnacle of Yin-Yang harmony, a new seed of life will be nurtured within their body.”
Tantai Xuan spoke with a serious expression, as if she were explaining alchemy.
“This seed will preferentially inherit your Yang Vein origin while also devouring the other party’s bloodline characteristics.
What is ultimately born is a descendant of our Dantai family.
Of course, this process has requirements for both parties’ cultivation and compatibility; it isn’t something that happens just by hugging and kissing.”
Su Chun felt dizzy listening to this.
‘I have to have a deep, glowing, and heated soulful exchange with my wives to have children.’
“Then — what if I’m just not capable of doing it?”
The words slipped out of Su Chun’s mouth, and she immediately wanted to bite her tongue off.
This question was too embarrassing.
Hearing this, Tantai Xuan’s gaze became strange as she looked Su Chun up and down, as if inspecting a defective product.
“Your body has the Yin-Yang Dual Vein Ancestral Awakening. Theoretically, it is of the utmost Yang and purity. Logically, it’s impossible for you to be incapable. Could it be that the memory loss made you forget your instincts in that regard too?”
Su Chun’s expression stiffened.
‘Could I say I hadn’t forgotten, but rather I never had any experience or an “operating manual” for the hardware?’
“Never mind, there’s no rush for this. Once we get back, I’ll have Luo Li and Luo Yu help you remember properly. They are both quite experienced…”
Tantai Xuan sighed.
Su Chun interrupted quickly; if she heard any more, she’d want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
“Mother, let’s talk about something else! For instance, just how big is this world? What exactly is the cultivation system like? Aside from our Dantai family and the Wang family, what other powerful forces are there? I want to get to know this world all over again.”
‘I must change the subject, or my maiden heart won’t be able to take it!’
Mentioning this piqued Tantai Xuan’s interest.
After all, she was her daughter, and knowing more common sense was always good.
“The world we live in is called the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. You can think of it as an unfathomably large universe, or perhaps a vast and boundless primordial sea.”
Tantai Xuan gestured in the air with her slender fingers.
“The Nine Heavens are the core regions, like the center of the universe. They are: Wuliang Heaven, Qingwei Heaven, Daluo Heaven, Chiming Heaven, Xuanhuang Heaven, Jun Heaven, Cang Heaven, Yan Heaven, and Yang Heaven. These nine heavens have the densest spiritual energy and the most powerful experts. For example, Wuliang Heaven, where the Wang family resides, is one of the nine heavens.”
Su Chun nodded. She had seen the grandeur of the Wang family — it was truly magnificent and shrouded in immortal aura.
“The Ten Lands surround the Nine Heavens. They are relatively peripheral regions where the environment is harsher and more complex, filled with desolate beasts and hidden realms. Our Dantai family’s Meng Hua Zhou belongs to the 3,000 Worlds within the Ten Lands.”
“The 3,000 Worlds? Does that mean there are 3,000 places like Meng Hua Zhou?” Su Chun asked curiously.
“Something like that, but there are more than 3,000. It’s just an approximate number.” Tantai Xuan explained, “The 3,000 Worlds consist of countless continental fragments and floating islands of various sizes, separated from each other by chaotic void currents, making travel difficult. The reason our Dantai family can hold its own in the 3,000 Worlds is thanks to the fame of our ancestor, Empress Xuan Yue, and our unique bloodline.”
“What about the cultivation system?”
Su Chun pressed further.
This was what she cared about most, as she was currently a “loser” who hadn’t even opened her Spirit Sea.
When cultivation was mentioned, Tantai Xuan’s eyes grew deep.
“The cultivation in our world is mainly divided into six major realms: Spirit Sea, Dao Palace, Four Poles, Divine Firmament, Immortal Terrace, and Transcendence.”
“The Spirit Sea Realm involves drawing Qi into the body, opening the Dantian’s Sea of Qi, and storing spiritual energy. This is the foundation of foundations. The only reason you haven’t reached this level yet is that the Yin and Yang veins in your body are conflicting, blocking your meridians.”
Tantai Xuan looked at Su Chun with a bit of helplessness.
Su Chun scratched her head awkwardly.
‘Can I be blamed for this? I’m the victim here.’
“The Dao Palace Realm involves condensing a Dao Palace within the body and nurturing a Divine Embryo. One’s lifespan can reach 300 years. Luo Li and Luo Yu are currently at this level.”
Su Chun was startled.
Luo Li and Luo Yu looked so young, yet they were already cultivators of the Dao Palace Realm.
The age calculations in this world certainly didn’t follow the rules of Earth.
“The Four Poles Realm involves tempering the limbs and bones to achieve a saint-like physique. Every movement carries immense power, and the lifespan reaches 500 years.”
“The Divine Firmament Realm allows the soul to roam the Great Void. The Divine Soul becomes indestructible, allowing one to traverse heaven and earth with a lifespan of 1,000 years.”
“The Immortal Terrace Realm is when one constructs an Immortal Terrace to communicate with heaven and earth, where their words become law. This is the realm of true titans. Your mother, your aunts, and your uncles are mostly at this realm. The Immortal Terrace Realm is divided into seven minor stages, with a lifespan ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 years.”
“As for the Transcendence Realm, that is a legendary level. It’s said one can shatter the void, escape the cage of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, and roam freely with an infinite lifespan.”
Tantai Xuan’s eyes were full of longing.
Su Chun’s heart surged with excitement.
So this was the power system of the Immortal Cultivation world.
From living 300 years to having an infinite lifespan, it was truly a defiance of fate.
“Then… besides our Dantai family and the Wang family, what other powerful forces are there?”
Su Chun’s curiosity was thoroughly piqued.
“There are many.”
Tantai Xuan counted them on her fingers.
