Children of this age often felt inexplicably uneasy in a new environment.
They especially struggled to adjust to a new bed and room.
That was why Xuanzhu and the other three little girls still couldn't fall asleep.
Seeing his daughters still wide-eyed so late, exhausted yet unable to sleep, Lin Xuan couldn't help feeling sorry for them.
Fortunately, the Perfect Dad Tutorial had a solution for this.
"Sweethearts, is it because we're in a different place that you don't want to sleep?" Lin Xuan asked gently.
"Mhm!"
Four pairs of bright eyes turned toward Lin Xuan at once.
Lin Xuan smiled. "Then if Daddy brings the rooms from our Crystal Palace over here, will you go to sleep?"
His words immediately filled the four little girls with curiosity and excitement.
"Wow, you can do that?"
"Are you going to fly us back right now, Daddy?"
"If it turns back into Daddy's room, I'll fall asleep right away!"
"That's right! That's right! I'm actually really sleepy!"
Listening to the little girls' soft, tender voices, Lin Xuan was suddenly overflowing with fatherly love. "All right. Daddy will make it happen right now."
He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers softly, conjuring a small illusion array.
Whoosh~
A streak of mystic light flashed by.
To the little girls' astonishment, in the blink of an eye, their surroundings had become just like the bedchamber in the Crystal Palace.
The chairs, tables, walls, and beds—all the objects, large and small—were exactly the same!
Even the bed felt just as soft as Daddy's!
"Wow~ That's really amazing!"
The little girls exclaimed in admiration.
"Daddy, can you tell me how you did that?"
What Lin Xuan hadn't expected was that this only made his daughters more alert. They all clung to him, asking the same question.
But Lin Xuan had plenty of ways to handle these adorable little ones.
"If you go to sleep now, Daddy will tell you how tomorrow," Lin Xuan coaxed.
"Okay!"
The little girls immediately buried their curiosity deep in their hearts, lay down obediently, and went to sleep.
Before long, their breathing grew steady.
Lin Xuan gazed fondly at the four adorable, chubby faces and shook his head with a smile.
"You went to bed so late. Tomorrow, you'll have to get up a little later."
Eastern Wasteland, Spirit Sword Mountain.
The mountain towered majestically, rising a hundred thousand feet into the clouds like a colossal sword piercing the heavens.
It was the most famous sword mountain in the Eastern Wasteland. According to legend, a hundred thousand spirit swords belonging to fallen sword prodigies lay buried there.
It could be called an immense sword tomb.
Even from a thousand miles away, one could feel the fierce Sword Qi emanating from the hundred thousand spirit swords buried on the mountain.
And compared with those hundred thousand spirit swords, the most eye-catching treasure was, of course, the well-hidden Primal Magnetic Sword Embryo.
Whether they had come to see the Primal Magnetic Sword Embryo or seize it for themselves,
thousands of martial artists from the Eastern Wasteland—and even other parts of the Azure Dragon Continent—had gathered at the foot of Spirit Sword Mountain before dawn had fully broken.
The vast majority of them were sword cultivators.
For a time, the place was a sea of voices.
"The Primal Magnetic Sword Embryo is emerging! This is the grandest event in our Eastern Wasteland in nearly five hundred years. What a gathering of heroes!"
"Exactly. Who knows how many experts are watching this sword embryo, openly and in secret. I wonder whose hands it'll end up in?"
"A single innate sword embryo could give any sword cultivator a chance to become a Land Sword Immortal. It's enough to make anyone drool!"
As the Primal Magnetic Sword Embryo's emergence drew closer, talk of it grew louder and more widespread.
And as the conversation went on, the question of who would claim this supreme innate sword embryo became more and more captivating.
Before long,
a streak of white light tore through the dawn and landed halfway up Spirit Sword Mountain.
He was a handsome young man around twenty, dressed in white and carrying a blue sword more than ten feet long. His bearing was extraordinary.
Those who recognized him couldn't help crying out in surprise.
"It's Lu Changsheng, the senior disciple of our Eastern Wasteland's Heaven Pivot Sacred Land!"
"Hiss! I can't believe even the Sacred Land's senior disciple has come. Then the Primal Magnetic Sword Embryo is as good as his!"
Though still young, Lu Changsheng had astonishing talent and was famous throughout the Eastern Wasteland's martial world.
He was only twenty, yet already at the peak of the Spirit Wheel Realm.
His mastery of the Sacred Land's secret art, the Heavenly Pivot Imperial Sword, was so sublime that his sword light could illuminate the Nine Continents.
The moment he appeared, the martial artists coveting the Primal Magnetic Sword Embryo all put their ambitions aside.
Lu Changsheng's own strength was terrifying, and behind him stood the Heaven Pivot Sacred Land, one of the Azure Dragon Continent's Ten Great Sacred Lands.
Anyone who tried to compete with him would not only face danger, but also bear unimaginable pressure from his sect.
Now that Lu Changsheng had appeared, the rest might as well settle for watching!
Taking in the awe on everyone's faces, Lu Changsheng couldn't help showing a smug smile.
The Primal Magnetic Sword Embryo would help him take a huge step forward on the path of the sword.
No one could take it from him!
Whoosh~
At that moment, a striking streak of black light tore through the void and descended before Lu Changsheng, swirling in chaotic darkness.
Lu Changsheng took a closer look and furrowed his brow. "Xiao Wuhen!"
The newcomer was Xiao Wuhen, the "Little Sword Demon," a renowned figure in the Eastern Wasteland's sword world.
He was the same age as Lu Changsheng and the only personal disciple of Wen Yuhong, the Eastern Wasteland Sword Demon.
His strength was on par with Lu Changsheng's.
Xiao Wuhen grinned. "Lu Changsheng, the Primal Magnetic Sword Embryo belongs to whoever has the ability to claim it. Let's each show what we can do today and see who has the last laugh!"
His words were brazen. Apart from Lu Changsheng, he paid no heed to anyone else.
But no one present dared contradict him. Xiao Wuhen hadn't earned the nickname "Little Sword Demon" for nothing.
He had entered the demonic path through the sword, and the Eastern Wasteland Sword Demon stood behind him. At least on the surface, he had no fear of the Heaven Pivot Sacred Land.
As the crowd marveled at the sight, their interest only grew stronger.
With the Sacred Land's senior disciple and the Little Sword Demon fighting over the Primal Magnetic Sword Embryo, sparks were sure to fly. This was bound to be a spectacle.
Amid the crowd, Wen Yuansong anxiously stared at the distant horizon.
"The Emperor Consort said last night that he'd come to Spirit Sword Mountain. Why hasn't he shown up yet?"
"Now even Lu Changsheng and Xiao Wuhen are here. If they get there first and take it..."
As he spoke, Wen Yuansong suddenly smacked his own forehead and scoffed at himself.
"Wen Yuansong, have you gotten senile?"
"What sort of being is the Emperor Consort? Who in the Eastern Wasteland could stop him from taking what he wants?"
"If the Emperor Consort hasn't shown up yet, he must be certain the Primal Magnetic Sword Embryo is his. There's no need for him to be as impatient as these ordinary people!"
Only then did Wen Yuansong suddenly understand why the Emperor Consort was arriving so late.
Rumble~
As the morning sunlight fell upon the peak of Spirit Sword Mountain, the entire mountain suddenly began to tremble violently.
A beam of blue-gold light shot into the sky, seeming to tear the mountain open as it illuminated the area within a hundred miles of Spirit Sword Mountain.
Before the crowd could recover,
the beam of blue-gold light suddenly split into four. A thousand feet above the mountain peak, it formed four sword embryos, each wreathed in Sword Qi that pierced the heavens.
"Wasn't there only one Primal Magnetic Sword Embryo? Why are there four?"
The crowd was baffled.
