Qin Yue'er's pregnancy with a child possessing Dao Body aptitude was kept strictly secret by Zhou Yang.
Although he had already learned why Qin Yue'er had carried the child for five years without giving birth, he still did not wish for the matter to spread.
Thus, aside from himself, Qin Yue'er, and Daoist Lan, the only one who knew was Xiao Ying, who had returned from the Cultivation World of the Flowing Cloud Continent.
Even Lu Xuewei, his female disciple, was kept in the dark by Zhou Yang this time.
Over the next five years, he focused on accompanying Qin Yue'er within the cave abode. Every night, he would cultivate in dual cultivation with her, transferring a portion of his Immortal Essence mana into her body amid the union of yin and yang for both her and the child in her womb to absorb.
Fortunately, Daoist Lan had said that before being born, even if the child in Qin Yue'er's womb gestated for ten years, its intelligence would at most be only a little stronger than that of an ordinary infant. Only its instinct for seeking benefit and avoiding harm would be greatly enhanced.
Otherwise, Zhou Yang truly would have found it difficult to let go of his mind and enter the proper state during nightly dual cultivation with Qin Yue'er.
Even so, those five years had felt as long as five hundred years to him.
Fortunately, he now possessed a True Immortal Dharma Body. Otherwise, with five years of daily dual cultivation, even his formerly incomparably powerful physique would likely have needed medicinal pills and spiritual items to sustain it.
Even Xiao Ying would occasionally joke and complain that in their more than two thousand years together, the number of times they had dual cultivated did not even compare
