Deep within Southern Ming Undying Volcano.

Yuan Feng had naturally heard Ancestral Dragon's voice as well.

Her gaze sharpened, her face frosty beneath its veil.

This so-called Great Sun Heavenly Dragon had actually reached the level of a High Grade Innate Being.

Among the Dragon Clan's younger generation, a leader had likely emerged!

That alone would have been one thing.

But that old bastard Ancestral Dragon had even called her out in front of all the Primordial Beings!

How could hot-tempered Yuan Feng possibly endure that?

"Hmph!"

"Ancestral Dragon, since you dare shamelessly invite me!"

"I'll head to the East Sea right now and turn it upside down!"

As she spoke.

Yuan Feng rose to her feet, prepared to head straight for the East Sea.

But at that moment.

Qing Luan, who had been cultivating alongside Yuan Feng, stepped in front of her.

At the same time, an urgent voice rang out...

"Big Sister, don't act rashly!"

"If you go, won't you be handing Ancestral Dragon the perfect chance to compare that Great Sun Heavenly Dragon with the child in your womb?"

"You cannot go to the East Sea!"

However.

Yuan Feng hesitated only briefly before her gaze became firm once more.

"If Ancestral Dragon dares do that, then I'll dare roast Great Sun Heavenly Dragon right in front of him!"

Roast Great Sun Heavenly Dragon?

As expected of you!

Qing Luan was speechless!

If Yuan Feng crippled Great Sun Heavenly Dragon in front of Ancestral Dragon.

Then the Dragon-Phoenix Clans would surely launch a racial war that would not end until one side was dead!

The consequences would be unthinkable!

Qing Luan King wanted to persuade her, yet did not know how to begin.

At the same time.

Yuan Feng's aura suddenly surged, and she was about to reveal her true form and head for the East Sea.

Then, without warning.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

A rapid heartbeat rang out.

Yuan Feng's departing figure abruptly halted, freezing stiffly in place.

And after Yuan Feng stopped.

The heartbeat returned to its previous steady rhythm.

Mother and Child Connection!

Yuan Feng's heart stirred, and a thought surfaced within her.

Could it be...

The child in her womb did not want her to go to the East Sea?

Yuan Feng's guess was entirely correct.

When Ling Tian heard that Yuan Feng intended to go to the East Sea and cause trouble, every fiber of his being rejected it.

As mentioned before.

Ling Tian did not need to enter seclusion to fuse with the [Chaos Green Lotus].

Therefore.

Ling Tian, who had not entered seclusion, had also heard Ancestral Dragon's voice.

After hearing Ancestral Dragon's voice.

A system notification immediately sounded in Ling Tian's mind...

[Ding!] [Ancestral Dragon has invited Yuan Feng to the East Sea. Please choose...] [Option One: Follow Yuan Feng to the East Sea and cause trouble. Reward: Chaos Bell.] [Option Two: Stop Yuan Feng from going to the East Sea. Reward: one drop of Pangu Jade Marrow.] [Note: Pangu Jade Marrow can greatly improve a living being's foundation/origin!]

After seeing these two choices, Ling Tian made his decision without the slightest hesitation!

"System, I choose Option Two!"

What a joke.

Leaving aside the fact that Option One was giving him a bell again, Yuan Feng, First Qilin, and Ancestral Dragon were the three great overlords of Hong Huang.

In terms of individual strength, Yuan Feng was actually inferior to First Qilin and Ancestral Dragon.

The greatest reason Yuan Feng could stand shoulder to shoulder with them was her divine ability of Nirvana Rebirth.

At worst, she could die in battle, undergo nirvana, and be reborn to fight again!

This made Yuan Feng exceptionally frenzied in battle.

It was also why Ancestral Dragon called Yuan Feng a "Madwoman."

But Yuan Feng could undergo Nirvana Rebirth.

Ling Tian, the fetus in Yuan Feng's womb, could not!

If a fight broke out, Ling Tian might very well kick the bucket on the spot!

Ling Tian absolutely did not want Yuan Feng to go to the East Sea.

Yet unlike before...

After Ling Tian made his choice, the system did not immediately issue the reward for Option Two.

He had to successfully stop Yuan Feng before he could receive it.

If Ling Tian failed to stop Yuan Feng, the system would automatically switch to issuing the reward for Option One.

Therefore, in order to stop Yuan Feng, Ling Tian, who was still only a fetus, could only use his frantic heartbeat as a protest.

Fortunately, mother and child were connected at heart.

Yuan Feng, sensing Ling Tian's feelings, actually stopped.

"It's working!"

Feeling all this, Ling Tian was overjoyed.

My dear mother, please, whatever you do, don't act on impulse!

While shouting in his heart, Ling Tian kept his heartbeat steady, soothing Yuan Feng's emotions.

No one knew how long passed.

Yuan Feng's emotions finally calmed.

She gently stroked her belly, and a rare trace of tenderness flashed through her eyes.

"Little fellow, you don't want your mother to go to the East Sea?"

"Then your mother won't go!"

"Hmph, that just lets that Little Loach off easy!"

On the other side, upon hearing Yuan Feng's words, Qing Luan heaved a huge sigh of relief.

Qing Luan was exceedingly clever.

How could she not know why Yuan Feng had undergone such a drastic change?

It was all because of the fetus in Yuan Feng's womb protesting!

Qing Luan was delighted, and said sweetly, "Elder Sister, this little fellow is so clever. He's only just begun to grow, yet he already knows the weight of things!"

At these words, Yuan Feng shot Qing Luan King a fierce glare.

"So you mean I don't know what I'm doing?"

Qing Luan King: "..."

Knowing she had misspoken, Qing Luan King smilingly hooked her arm through Yuan Feng's and gave a coquettish huff.

"Good sister, I was wrong."

"Do you think the little one is so clever that he can hear us talking?"

"Right, the little one doesn't even have a name yet..."

A name?

Yuan Feng's heart stirred, and she inexplicably recalled the moment the fetus had come into being.

Because she had never borne any offspring, she had long endured immense pressure from within the clan.

The little one had come to her like a god descending from heaven.

Thinking of this, warmth filled Yuan Feng's heart.

"This little one fell from the heavens."

"Let his pet name be Little Tian!"

"The son of Yuan Feng will surely stand above all living beings."

"His full name shall be Ling Tian!"

After saying that, Yuan Feng and Qing Luan King exchanged a glance, each clearly seeing the resolve in the other's eyes.

For a time, a Primordial Golden Immortal and a peak Great Luo both secretly swore an oath.

No matter what Ling Tian's Foundation/Origin might be, they would protect him...

for all their lives!

Within Yuan Feng's womb, Ling Tian had no time to concern himself with the thoughts of his Mom and aunt.

He sat cross-legged atop the [Chaos Green Lotus], while a crystalline shard radiating dense blood qi floated above his palm.

This crystal

was precisely this time's reward...

[Pangu Jade Marrow]!

According to the system's description, [Pangu Jade Marrow] could greatly improve a living being's Foundation/Origin.

Since Ling Tian had been a member of the Human Race in his previous life, even after receiving the initial nourishment of the [Chaos Green Lotus], his Foundation/Origin had only barely reached the level of a High-grade Acquired Being.

He was still quite a distance away from becoming an Innate Being.

During the Dragon-Han Tribulation, when Innate Beings roamed everywhere, Ling Tian's Foundation/Origin could only be called utterly wretched.

This [Pangu Jade Marrow] happened to resolve Ling Tian's pressing need!

Without hesitation, Ling Tian tipped back his head and swallowed the [Pangu Jade Marrow] in one gulp.

The next moment, an incomparably powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from within Ling Tian's body.

In an instant, it spread through all his limbs and bones.

Ling Tian could not help letting out a comfortable sigh.

Then, he sank into the deepest level of seclusion.

What Ling Tian did not know was...

the extent of this improvement to his Foundation/Origin far exceeded his imagination!
