The Guardian! Is Doumu Yuanjun About to Give Birth?

Time passed, and fortunes changed.

Two years had passed since Ancient Buddha Burning Lamp and Guanyin Buddha had gotten together. Ao Yuan's cultivation had advanced once more, breaking through to the Mid-stage Quasi-Saint realm.

Inside a palace on Mount Sumeru.

Demon Buddha Zhunti, Demon Lord Jieyin, Blood Ancestor, Ancient Buddha Burning Lamp, Guanyin Buddha, and several other powerful figures sat on cushions, gazing at Ao Yuan in the center of the hall. He looked imposing and heroic, and though still young, his cultivation was formidable.

"Fellow Daoists, I invited you here today because I wish to choose a guardian for Yuan'er."

"Mother is right.
