Earth Tier Dou Technique, Three-star Dou King!

At last!

Xiao Cang was suddenly overjoyed.

After fighting hard for more than half a month since their wedding, he had finally achieved tangible results.

[Distributing rewards...]

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining:]

[High-grade Earth Tier Dou Technique: Emperor Seal Art!]

[Low-grade Earth Tier Dou Technique: Three Thousand Lightning Movement!]

[Cultivation reward: Two-star cultivation!]

[When the Host's offspring is born, even more rewards will be distributed!]

[Please keep up the good work, Host. Spread your branches and leaves—More Children More Blessings!]

"Earth Tier Dou Techniques!! Two at once!!"

"Hiss!!"

"The items rewarded by the system really are all top-notch!"

Xiao Cang's eyes burned as he looked at the rewards, drawing in a sharp breath.

Earth Tier Dou Techniques!

They were exceedingly rare even across the entire Dou Qi Continent.

Even in the talent-rich Middle Continent, the appearance of an Earth Tier Dou Technique was enough to trigger a bloody storm.

Not to mention that among these two Dou Techniques was a High-grade Earth Tier Dou Technique—the Emperor Seal Art!

This was a terrifying Dou Technique regarded by even the Gu Clan as one of its sect-defending treasures!

Once mastered, it could even rival a Low-grade Heaven Tier Dou Technique!

It was easy to imagine that with these rewards, his overall strength would soar by a huge margin!

[Claim rewards?]

Hearing the system prompt, Xiao Cang forcibly suppressed the urge to claim his rewards at once.

He had lacked experience when claiming rewards for the first time and had nearly exposed himself in front of Yun Yun.

From now on, he should only claim rewards when he was alone.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

Yun Yun sensed Xiao Cang's mood suddenly grow excited. Propping up her pretty face with a delicate hand, she looked at him curiously and asked.

"Yun'er, it seems you're carrying my child," Xiao Cang said excitedly.

"My child? Husband, you mean... I'm pregnant?" Yun Yun's expression brightened as well.

"Yes, Yun'er. You're pregnant!"

"But how did you know, Husband?"

"Yun'er, have you forgotten that your husband is an alchemist? I know a little about medicine too. Since you've conceived, how could I fail to sense it?"

"That's right, I was so happy that I got muddled. This is wonderful, Husband. We're going to have a child too."

Yun Yun was overjoyed.

To be safe, Yun Yun immediately summoned the sect physician to take her pulse.

"Congratulations, Sect Master. You are with child!" the physician offered his congratulations.

"Husband, did you hear that? I'm really carrying your child!" Yun Yun was beside herself with joy.

"I heard! Yun'er, from now on, you mustn't overwork yourself anymore. Leave the sect's affairs to the Great Elder. Just focus on resting and caring for the baby."

Xiao Cang spoke with great concern.

"Mhm, mhm!"

Yun Yun nodded her exquisitely beautiful chin heavily.

News of Yun Yun's pregnancy quickly spread throughout the Misty Cloud Sect through the physician.

"Martial Uncle Xiao and Sect Master Yun have been married for less than a month, and she's already pregnant!"

"Martial Uncle Xiao truly is at the vigorous age of eighteen. Even carrying on the family line happened so quickly."

"In just over half a year, when the young sect master is born, we'll get to drink wedding wine again!"

"What a shame. If only I were the one bearing children for Martial Uncle Xiao."

"..."

The entire Misty Cloud Sect was filled with congratulations.

Naturally, the Female Disciples who had once been utterly infatuated with Xiao Cang all looked dejected, regretting that they were not the ones bearing children for him.

The elders and stewards also came one after another to congratulate Yun Yun on her pregnancy.

Only one person did not come: Gu He.

After hearing the news, he locked himself in the Alchemy Room and drank himself into a stupor.

"Yun'er, Yun'er! I treated you so well, so why did you have to marry that brat Xiao Cang?"

"I had still fantasized that one day, you and Xiao Cang would fall out of love and part ways. Then I would pursue you again."

"But I never expected... never expected that in such a short time, you would already be carrying Xiao Cang's child."

"Xiao Cang, the hatred of stealing my wife cannot be borne beneath the same sky!"

"But I... what do I have to compete with Xiao Cang..."

Gu He was utterly heartbroken and wailed loudly.

In looks, charm, talent, fortunate encounters... he was inferior to Xiao Cang in every way.

Even his strength would likely be surpassed by Xiao Cang before long. What did he have left to compete with Xiao Cang?

For the rest of his life, he was probably destined to hide in a corner and watch Xiao Cang and Yun Yun live sweetly together.

At night.

"Yun'er, sleep."

Xiao Cang held Yun Yun's delicate body and coaxed her to sleep.

"Husband, tonight we won't... do that?" Yun Yun bit her red lips lightly and asked shyly.

"Yun'er, for the baby's health, we can't do those things for now." Xiao Cang lovingly tapped Yun Yun's dainty nose.

"All right..."

Though Yun Yun wanted to, for the sake of the child's health, she could only accept it.

After coaxing Yun Yun to sleep, Xiao Cang left the Wedding Chamber and returned to the room where he had lived before.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and silently called out in his heart.

"System! Claim the rewards!"

Boom!

In an instant, vast streams of information flooded into his mind.

All the mysteries of the Emperor Seal Art and Three Thousand Lightning Movement were deeply imprinted in his mind, rapidly fusing with Xiao Cang's body and becoming muscle memory.

A moment later, he had completely absorbed the Emperor Seal Art and Three Thousand Lightning Movement!

Both Dou Techniques moved him deeply!

Especially the Emperor Seal Art!

As he continued to absorb the contents of the Emperor Seal Art, Xiao Cang suddenly felt his vision blur, and his consciousness entered the world within his mind.

It was a world of golden light. Xiao Cang stood within it and looked around, feeling only that the countless golden rays were dazzling beyond measure.

Before him, countless golden rays had gathered and woven themselves into large golden words, forming a curtain of light in midair. The enormous golden characters radiated brilliant light, making Xiao Cang's eyes sting.

[The Emperor Seal Art has five forms: Mountain-Splitting Seal, Sea-Overturning Seal, Earth-Covering Seal, Heaven-Annihilating Seal, and Ancient Emperor Seal. Each seal is connected!]

[When all five seals are mastered, one gains the power to overturn rivers and seas, swallow the heavens, and devour the earth!]

The domineering words made Xiao Cang's mind tremble.

A moment later, the golden light faded, and his consciousness returned to reality.

"As expected of a high-grade Dou Technique regarded by the Gu Clan as a sect-defending treasure. It's overwhelmingly domineering!" Xiao Cang could hardly conceal his shock.

Of course, Three Thousand Lightning Movement was no slouch either!

But unlike the Emperor Seal Art, Three Thousand Lightning Movement was a movement-type Dou Technique.

It was likewise divided into several stages: Lightning Flash, Lightning Instant, and Three Thousand Lightning Movement!

With every stage he advanced, the practitioner's speed would surge dramatically!

What excited Xiao Cang most was—

Both Dou Techniques were incredibly difficult to cultivate. For ordinary people, even merely mastering Lightning Flash and the Mountain-Splitting Seal would require years of accumulated effort.

But he did not need that.

Because the system had already automatically enabled him to thoroughly comprehend both Dou Techniques and cultivate them to their peak!

The rewards were not over yet.

Boom!

A vast aura poured into Xiao Cang's body like Anointing, causing his aura to rise steadily.

In less than ten breaths, his cultivation rose from a one-star Dou King to a two-star Dou King, then to a Three-star Dou King!

As his aura gradually stabilized, Xiao Cang's realm completely settled at the level of a Three-star Dou King!

Feeling the vast and surging power within his body, Xiao Cang's eyes shone brightly with excitement.

"With my current strength, if I fought Ling Ying again, things would be completely different!"

Xiao Cang was not overestimating himself.

He now possessed a Super Heaven Tier cultivation technique, two Earth Tier Dou Techniques, and a Heavenly Flame. When all these methods were combined, the result was far from as simple as one plus one!

They were enough to push his combat strength to an extremely terrifying level!

After claiming the rewards, Xiao Cang returned to the Wedding Chamber. He gently climbed into bed without waking Yun Yun.

But as he lay there, a sense of loneliness suddenly welled up in his heart.

Just then, Yun Yun's eyelashes trembled, and she woke up.

"Husband, you..."

Yun Yun saw it and immediately understood.

"It's nothing. Yun'er, rest." Xiao Cang gently stroked Yun Yun's hair.

"Husband."

Yun Yun lightly bit her red lips, paused for a moment, then said with a flushed face, "Husband..."

Xiao Cang froze.

A few breaths later, soft rustling sounds drifted out...
