Heavenly Dao: I've Woken Up and Have Children?

That's pretty much how things went down.

After hearing Hongjun's explanation, Heavenly Dao was utterly stunned.

Did I just fall asleep and end up with a child? I myself only came into being not too long ago, I'm still just a child.

To suddenly become a father from being a child himself, one could only imagine how devastated Heavenly Dao was.

"Sigh, Heavenly Dao, what's done is done. You're not going to just pull up your pants and deny responsibility, are you?"

Worried that Heavenly Dao might act against Xuan Yi, Hongjun immediately began to taunt him.

"Bullshit! When did I ever pull up my pants? Besides, I don't even wear pants."

Heavenly Dao's face turned green and white with anger, though you wouldn't be able to see it if he had a human form.

"Since he is the manifestation of a missing piece of myself, then he is my child. However, Hongjun, you must be careful. Never let this child perish. The sliver of hope for all creation rests with him. If he dies, the heavens and earth will fall out of balance, and the entire Primordial Chaos will be destroyed, and neither you nor I will escape."

Heavenly Dao spoke with great gravity. The Jade Disc of Creation was Heavenly Dao's true form, and the missing piece was the great trend set by the Great Dao. If it were destroyed, the Primordial Chaos would likely be annihilated in an instant.

Hongjun felt relieved. As long as Heavenly Dao didn't make a move against Xuan Yi, he feared no one in the Primordial Chaos.

"Hmph, if you want to touch my child, no one in the Primordial Chaos has the ability to do so."

Hongjun wasn't just boasting. His two greatest rivals, Yang Mei and Luohu, were Xuan Yi's blood relatives, and his superior, Heavenly Dao, was inextricably linked to Xuan Yi's life. As for the other figures, for Hongjun, who was about to attain sainthood, they were mere insignificant ants, not even enough for him to handle with one hand.

"Heavenly Dao, since you've acknowledged the child's identity, shouldn't you also prepare some gifts? You know, even Yang Mei gave his understanding of space to this kid."

Having confirmed Heavenly Dao's stance, Hongjun became less polite and began demanding gifts for Xuan Yi from Heavenly Dao.

"Hmph, it's better if you don't mention Yang Mei. I'm telling you, Hongjun, you absolutely must keep a close eye on this child. If Yang Mei and Luohu manage to sneak him away, I'll deal with you."

Heavenly Dao was currently acting like a timid housewife. If one didn't know better, they'd think he was Xuan Yi's mother.

"As for gifts, that's not something you need to worry about. My child deserves only the best. You should focus on preparing for your integration with the Dao."

Heavenly Dao looked coldly at Hongjun. He had a child, but that child carried another's bloodline, which made Heavenly Dao very unhappy. He couldn't see the other two, but he could at least put the one in front of him in his place.

"Rumble!"

Suddenly, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to fluctuate violently. The entire Jade Capital Mountain trembled under the impact of this spiritual energy.

Heavenly Dao and Hongjun simultaneously turned their gaze towards Xuan Yi, who was cultivating. The spiritual energy around him was in violent turmoil, almost condensing into liquid as it madly surged into Xuan Yi's body.

"This is the commotion caused by a breakthrough? ×2"

Heavenly Dao and Hongjun were dumbfounded. Compared to Xuan Yi, they felt like useless trash.

Hongjun felt speechless. I, at least, cultivated step by step. Heavenly Dao, you were born with this power, so why are you so surprised? Have you ever broken through before? I should be the one surprised!

"This kid's talent is truly exceptional. I must quickly foster a good relationship with him. Perhaps in the future, I can use him to elevate the Primordial World's rank. Hongjun, this kid is about to wake up. I won't reveal myself to him for now. I'm going to prepare gifts first. The rest is up to you."

After speaking, Heavenly Dao slipped away before Hongjun could even react.

"He runs fast. I'd like to see what great gift he can prepare."

Hongjun grumbled inwardly.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xuan Yi refined all the surrounding spiritual energy into his body, continuously pushing towards the next realm. Finally, the barrier between realms was shattered.

"Hoo..."

"As expected of a Primordial Chaos level cultivation technique. I've almost drained all the spiritual energy around Jade Capital Mountain, and it only allowed me to break through one minor realm. To reach Primordial Chaos Grand Unity, how much spiritual energy would that require?"

"But this cultivation session has finally allowed me to gain complete control over my own cultivation."

Since Xuan Yi was previously a mortal with no cultivation foundation, he had immense power but couldn't utilize it. Fortunately, that issue was now resolved.

"Excellent, excellent, Xuan'er. You have successfully broken through to the mid-stage of Primordial Earth Immortal. Your combat power is now comparable to a mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Now, you shall refine the Spiritual Treasures that your father has bestowed upon you."

The old man Hongjun appeared before Xuan Yi without a sound.

"But I've already refined them."

Xuan Yi said with a serious expression.

"What?"

Hongjun was so shocked that he pulled out a handful of his beard. How is this possible? Cultivation takes ages; any cultivator who enters seclusion is looking at a million years at the very least. It's only been a little over a month, and you've not only broken through a minor realm but also refined the Spiritual Treasures?

If you say your cultivation broke through, that's understandable given the Primordial Chaos-level technique, but there are no shortcuts to refining Spiritual Treasures. These are Top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasures, and even Xiantian Supreme Treasures. I would never believe Xuan Yi has already refined them, even if you beat me to death.

"Father, look."

With a wave of Xuan Yi's hand, the God-Slaying Spear, Qiankun Cauldron, and several other Spiritual Treasures appeared. With another wave, the several Xiantian Spiritual Treasures emitted streams of flowing light.

"This... this..."

"You actually refined them all? How is this possible?"

Hongjun's eyeballs nearly popped out; he had never encountered such a situation in his entire life.

"Ahem, Xuan'er, do you have some secret technique? Let Father take a look, just in case something goes wrong,"

With a trembling hand and an excited heart, Hongjun thought Xuan Yi possessed a secret method for rapidly refining spiritual treasures. If he could obtain it, wouldn't he be able to refine the Jade Disc of Creation immediately?

It was known that Hongjun had obtained the Jade Disc of Creation after the heavens and earth were formed.

Countless years had passed since then, yet he had only refined ninety percent of it. To achieve harmony with the Dao, he needed to refine the Jade Disc of Creation completely. This final ten percent alone would require at least several million years.

Hongjun wanted to ask for it but couldn't bring himself to do so. How could a father ask his son for something?

"I'm not sure either."

"I just injected my magic power into the spiritual treasures, and they refined themselves automatically. It might be because my true form is the Primordial Chaos Bead."

Xuan Yi himself didn't understand, so he could only tell the truth.

Hongjun sighed inwardly, "Everyone has their own destiny. It seems I can only rely on myself."

"Father, since my birth, I have never seen the world of the Primordial Chaos."

"I wish to go to the Primordial World to gain some experience."

As a fine young man from the 21st century, who wouldn't want to experience the wonders of the Primordial World? Xuan Yi had been impatient for a long time.

"Absolutely not."

Even though Xuan Yi's combat power was comparable to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Hongjun was still uneasy about letting Xuan Yi leave Jade Capital Mountain alone.

After all, Grand Unity Golden Immortals were a dime a dozen in this world. If Xuan Yi encountered danger, the entire Primordial Chaos would have to pay the price.

"Sigh, I wonder when the old man will let me leave,"

Xuan Yi muttered softly, sitting crookedly on the cushion.

"You possess an understanding of the Law of Space within you. If you can comprehend three layers of it, Father will agree to let you travel the Primordial Chaos."

Time is king, and space is supreme. If he could comprehend three layers of spatial power, even if he couldn't win, he could use spatial transfer to escape. Coupled with Xuan Yi having several spiritual treasures to protect him, only then could Hongjun feel at ease letting Xuan Yi go.

"Okay, you said it, you can't go back on your word."

In order to travel the Primordial Chaos, Xuan Yi went all out and immediately began to comprehend the Law of Space.
