Cultivating in the Womb, Yao Lao Is Shocked!

After the technique was replaced with version 2.0 of the Innate Fetal Breath Art, Qin Yueyao's body seemed to transform into a tiny black hole, continuously absorbing the natural energy around her.

However, the effect was extremely faint, and ordinary people simply could not detect it.

Yet Yao Lao, hidden within the ancient ring on Qin Yueyao's hand, retained some perception of the outside world even in his severely injured state.

"Natural energy is gathering? What is going on????"

With the experience of the Dou Qi Continent's number one alchemist, he naturally sensed at such close range that the change in Qin Yueyao's body originated from the child she carried.

"Someone can actually cultivate in the womb!" Yao Lao was greatly astonished.

Though cultivating in the womb was often used as a sarcastic remark when encountering a genius with terrifying cultivation speed, everyone knew it was impossible.

The person had not even grown up yet—how could they possibly cultivate?

Yao Lao forced himself to focus and ran through all the miraculous constitutions he knew, yet he found none so heaven-defying.

This child can cultivate in the womb. Could he possess the potential to become a Dou Di? A strange thought flashed through Yao Lao's mind.

Generally speaking, the Dou Qi stage was the stage for tempering one's foundation. What mattered was not cultivation speed, but how thoroughly one's foundation was tempered.

Some geniuses even deliberately suppressed their breakthroughs.

This child had begun cultivating in the womb. Upon birth, his foundation would be several times stronger than those who only began cultivating at five or six years old. Such talent was terrifying beyond measure.

Yao Lao's long-silent heart could not help but burn once more.

However, he was still extremely weak. He could only wait until this peerless genius was born before setting his plans in motion.

After living in this world for some time, Xiao Yan had learned certain information about it from fragments of conversations outside.

Though he had realized it somewhat late, once he understood the clan he belonged to, Xiao Yan was truly startled.

The place he had transmigrated to was a fantasy world.

And it was none other than the Dou Qi Continent, a world he was rather familiar with.

He had even become the protagonist of this world.

After learning this string of information, Xiao Yan was stunned for a full two and a half minutes.

Now that he understood the world he was in, Xiao Yan's heaven-defying comprehension finally had a direction to be used.

Previously, because he had not known what kind of world he was in, Xiao Yan had possessed countless wild ideas, but no concrete point of reference.

After all, those ideas were too terrifying. Xiao Yan did not know whether he could realize them through comprehension, nor how long it would take.

But now that he knew he was in the Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Yan had a clear direction.

The effects of version 2.0 of the Innate Fetal Breath Art had been comprehended by combining certain effects of Dou Qi.

Of course, Xiao Yan did not know how Dou Qi was cultivated.

However, he knew the most fundamental effects of Dou Qi, just as he knew the benefits of innate qi.

With the support of his heaven-defying comprehension, Xiao Yan spent about a month comprehending an effect that was almost identical.

Dou Qi was an exceptionally gentle kind of energy. Its primary use was to warm the meridians, temper the channels, and forge one's foundation.

Only by thoroughly tempering one's foundation could one avoid having their meridians shattered and dying when they could no longer withstand the impact of increasingly powerful Dou Qi.

Being able to enjoy the benefits of Dou Qi once more after breaking through the Dou Qi stage was an indescribable boon for the mother.

Now that Xiao Yan knew his identity, he also knew that his mother and grandfather in this life were both extremely short-lived.

Other than the necessary sleep each day, Xiao Yan devoted himself to studying cultivation.

For the time being, he could not resolve the matter of his grandfather Xiao Lin's enemies. He could only first find a way to make his mother's physique as strong as possible.

Though version 2.0 of the Innate Fetal Breath Art was not bad, it was naturally somewhat lacking for his purposes.

However, advancing the technique further from its 2.0 version was rather difficult.

Especially for someone with almost no cultivation experience at all.

Xiao Yan was from Deep Blue Star and had read quite a few novels, but as for personally cultivating, after transmigrating, he had only created the Innate Fetal Breath Art through his heaven-defying comprehension.

Then, using some of the effects of Dou Qi, he upgraded the Innate Fetal Breath Art to version 2.0.

After that, Xiao Yan had not the slightest fragment of knowledge in his mind that could support a further upgrade. He could only rely almost entirely on his heaven-defying comprehension to continue developing it.

Even the cleverest housewife could not cook without rice; that perfectly described Xiao Yan's current situation.

A full three months passed.

[You further deduced version 2.0 of the Innate Fetal Breath Art. After many days of cultivation and research, you gained enlightenment and created the Innate Chaos One-Qi Art.]

[Innate Chaos One-Qi Art: Using a trace of one's innate qi as a guide, it continuously nourishes and strengthens it, guiding the mother to absorb and refine natural energy, strengthening the physiques of both mother and child, improving one's foundation and aptitude, and beginning the cultivation of Dou Qi ahead of time.

As innate qi continuously increases, the mother's marrow-cleansing and body-reforging effects will continuously improve, while the cultivation effects of the technique itself will also be enhanced.]

[Note: Only relatively mature fetuses can cultivate it.]

Seeing that even the technique's name had changed, Xiao Yan knew that his efforts over the past three months had not been in vain.

Nourished by innate qi and with the passage of time, his body had developed meridians, allowing him to begin cultivating Dou Qi.

But what was the point of cultivating alone?

Bringing his pregnant mother along to cultivate was the effect a powerful fetal-stage cultivation technique ought to have.

However, Xiao Yan also knew that his fetal-stage cultivation technique had reached the end of what he could comprehend.

It was not that his heaven-defying comprehension was false, but that time was limited.

By the time Xiao Yan comprehended another new technique, he would probably already have been born.

There was no longer much point in deeply researching fetal-stage cultivation techniques.

After all, the cultivation knowledge in Xiao Yan's mind was truly limited. This third version of the technique had already made him feel strained.

Not to mention advancing this already exceptionally powerful technique again within such a short time.

As Xiao Yan began cultivating the Innate Chaos One-Qi Art, another strange occurrence emerged in the Xiao Clan after the appearance of the lady with an enormous appetite.

Qin Yueyao's Dou Shi-level strength began advancing at an astonishing pace. Before long, she surpassed her husband Xiao Zhan, and her cultivation speed continued to rise.

Not many people knew of this matter; only Qin Yueyao, Xiao Zhan, and Xiao Lin did.

Xiao Lin merely laughed heartily. "My grandson must possess an extraordinary constitution, which is why Yueyao gets to share in his blessings. This is entirely a blessing for our Xiao Clan. There is no need to worry—just wait peacefully for his birth."
