Xue Ying turned around with the baby in her arms, beaming with excitement. "Master, Madam, it's a young master! A young master!"
"Oh, it's a boy?"
"Let me see." Qian Xunji took the baby from Xue Ying.
There were four people in the room. Apart from Ah Yin, everyone else was beaming.
Of course, besides being happy, Leng Lingyuan also felt a little disappointed. She wanted to give her husband a son, too.
Unfortunately, both children she had given birth to were girls, and she had not conceived again in all these years.
Qian Xunji saw the worry in Leng Lingyuan's eyes as he held the baby and comforted her. "Ling Yuan, don't worry. I love them just the same, whether they're boys or girls. They're all our little darlings."
"Husband, you're absolutely right."
After hearing Qian Xunji's reassurance, Leng Lingyuan's mood instantly improved. She suggested, "Husband, the baby still doesn't have a name. Why don't you choose one for him?"
"What would be a good name?" Qian Xunji murmured to himself. Suddenly, a mischievous idea struck him. "Let's call him Qian Renchuan."
"Sounds good. Qian Renchuan it is."
The moment the name was confirmed, the system's voice rang in Qian Xunji's ear.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on gaining a child—Qian Renchuan. His aptitude has been assessed as red."
"Congratulations, Host. You have received a five-point increase in soul strength and a 50,000-year increase to the age of every Soul Ring."
"Your strength will be increased in one minute. Please prepare yourself."
One minute later, the first change came to Qian Xunji's soul strength.
A smile appeared on his face. Those five points of soul strength had brought about his final transformation.
His soul had successfully advanced to divine soul.
Now, all he had to do was wait for Huang to regain her Deity cultivation. Then he could go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, retrieve the Fire Dragon King, and break through to godhood.
As for Gu Yuena, Qian Xunji had already come up with a new plan.
After his soul had transformed into a divine soul, the increase in the age of his Soul Rings followed close behind. The power of his Soul Skills became even more terrifying.
As for his Soul Bones, they could no longer be called Soul Bones. The moment his body ascended into a divine body, they had transformed along with it into divine bones.
For now, he had no divine position, and the rules of the Douluo Universe restrained him from progressing further.
Only after breaking through to godhood would his strength rise again.
[Family Prosperity System] [Host: Qian Xunji] [Martial Soul: Six-Winged Angel] [Divine Position: None] [Body: 100 (Divine Body, current limit)] [Soul: 100 (Divine Soul, current limit)] [Soul Power: 100 (Divine Power, current limit)] [Soul Rings: Full set, 260,000 years] [Soul Bones: Divine Bones] [Arrays: Fortification Array, Soul-Sealing Array] [Cultivation Method: Ancient Phoenix Method] [Enhancement: Ancient Phoenix Seal (Incomplete)] [Family Members/Aptitude: 1 Qian Renxue (Gold) 2 Qian Renshuang (Red) 3 Qian Renxia (Red) 4 Qian Renwei (Red) 5 Qian Renting (Black) 6 Qian Renwu (Red) 7 Qian Renhui (Red) 8 Qian Renchuan (Red)] [Bloodline Continuation Rewards] [Overall Assessment: A man one step away from godhood.]
Holding Qian Renchuan, Qian Xunji left Ah Yin's suite with Leng Lingyuan and Xue Ying.
Ah Yin was left alone in the room, drowning in sorrow.
She felt she had truly wronged Hao Ge. Not only had her innocence been violated, she had also given Qian Xunji a son.
And worst of all, Qian Xunji had named the child Qian Renchuan. Turn the character chuan sideways, and it became the character for three.
Add the character ren, and Qian Xunji's meaning could not have been clearer.
Ah Yin wanted to end it all.
But she knew that if she dared to kill herself, Qian Xunji would never let Hao Ge and her Xiao San live in peace.
So she had to endure and give Hao Ge and Xiao San a chance to grow stronger.
If one day she could see Qian Xunji die before her eyes, she would die without regret, even if it cost her her own life.
Ten days later.
Tang Yuehua was also nearing the end of her pregnancy.
Xue Ying was the midwife once again.
And the Underground Palace was the setting once again.
"Master, Madam, it's another young master." Xue Ying brought the baby over to Qian Xunji.
Qian Xunji's face was alight with joy as he named his ninth child and second son Qian Renhao.
As soon as the child had a name, the familiar sound of the system rang in Qian Xunji's ear once more.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on gaining a child—Qian Renhao. His aptitude has been assessed as red."
"Congratulations, Host. You have received a special cultivation method—Soul Transmission Method—and five levels of Soul Power of your choice."
"Since you have already reached divine power, which cannot be increased further, a storage section has been added for you."
"The five levels of Soul Power of your choice have been placed in storage. Please check them yourself."
"The Soul Transmission Method is now being transmitted to you."
As the system finished speaking, a great flood of information poured into Qian Xunji's mind.
As he absorbed it, Qian Xunji felt a little surprised.
It was not the information that surprised him, but Tang Yuehua.
He had not expected Tang Yuehua's child to have red aptitude. It seemed he had underestimated Tang Yuehua's Martial Soul, the Ruyi Ring.
From now on, he would just have to make Tang Hao's younger sister suffer a little more. Heh heh heh...
Soon, a light screen visible only to Qian Xunji appeared before his eyes.
[Soul Transmission Method (Special Cultivation Method)] [The Host can use the Soul Transmission Method to pass the Soul Power increase reward to anyone other than himself, whether human or beast.]
The Soul Transmission Method was a real treasure.
Qian Xunji marveled inwardly. He already had the perfect person in mind for the five-level increase in Soul Power he had just received.
Oh, what a lucky day!
The burning sensation on his forehead filled Qian Xunji with excitement.
He knew for certain that Huang had regained her Deity cultivation.
That meant he could go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, become a Deity, and break through to an even higher level of power.
Checking the basic information the system had given him only confirmed his suspicions.
[Family Prosperity System] ... [Enhancement: Ancient Phoenix Seal] ...
The word "Incomplete" after the Ancient Phoenix Seal had vanished.
Using his mind like a finger, Qian Xunji tapped the words Ancient Phoenix Seal.
The next moment, the system provided an explanation.
[Ancient Phoenix Seal] [Contains the rules of a Half-Step God Emperor. Its uses are limitless; it can blot out the sky and the sun and alter one's appearance.]
It was time to break through to godhood.
Qian Xunji did not rush. He decided to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well the next day.
For now, he would put the five-level increase in Soul Power to use.
That night.
Qian Xunji and Leng Lingyuan spent some time entwined together.
Only he and Leng Lingyuan were together tonight. Xue Ying and Xiao Rou had each gone back to their own rooms to sleep.
As for Qian Renchuan and Qian Renhao, they were being looked after by dedicated attendants.
"Ling Yuan, I have a gift for you." Qian Xunji held Leng Lingyuan close, his voice tender.
"Husband, what is it?"
"You'll find out in a moment, Ling Yuan." Qian Xunji used the Soul Transmission Method to grant her the five-level increase in Soul Power.
Leng Lingyuan was shocked. Her Soul Power had been at level 92, but now it climbed like a rocket, reaching level 97 in less than a minute.
"Husband, th-this..." Leng Lingyuan was so shocked she could barely get the words out.
"Shh, Ling Yuan. Don't speak." Qian Xunji covered her mouth.
The two of them resumed their battle.
The shock in Leng Lingyuan's mind was instantly swallowed by surging waves.
The next day, it was already broad daylight.
After visiting his children, Qian Xunji left Spirit City and headed for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
