Looking at her gradually swelling belly, Mo Wuxin felt incredibly frustrated, yet also unwilling to let it go.

After all, reaching her level of cultivation, birthing an offspring was extremely difficult.

But —

Who among her family could understand this!

Just a year ago, she was a man, and now she’s about to have a child!

Who could understand her inner turmoil?

It was Nangong Suyi who, upon realizing she was pregnant, showed no signs of struggle — only unstoppable ecstasy.

Only those at her level of cultivation knew the enormity of surprise that child­birth could bring.

It was even more exciting than reaching the Nascent Soul Stage!

To avoid any accident and ensure a successful childbirth, Nangong Suyi declared seclusion, neglecting even the lineage of the Palace of Pure Heart.

It was due to Nangong Suyi that Mo Wuxin’s succession rites were delayed, otherwise it could have been done in secret.

Xu Mu suspected that this unborn child might weigh heavier in Nangong Suyi’s heart than ten Palaces of Pure Heart.

But what should they call this child once he is born?

He initially didn’t realize that Nangong Suyi, at her advanced age, would still be able to conceive. Had he known, he would have been more careful.

He could have reserved his essence in the transmission channel behind him.

Luckily, Nangong Suyi still had some sense left and didn’t publicize the pregnancy. Otherwise, who knows how Mo Wuxin would react.

As Nangong Suyi declared her seclusion, Mo Wuxin naturally took over all the affairs of the Palace of Pure Heart. There was no one who would dispute her claim due to her status and cultivation level.

To avoid awkwardness, Mo Wuxin continued to conceal her female physique, and needless to say about the child in her belly.

People at Palace of Pure Heart still addressed her as “Elder Brother”.

Due to their cultivation and physical conditions, the growth of their embryos was slow, and it was estimated that it would take nine to ten years for it to fully mature.

That was even longer than Nezha’s gestation period!

This was considered normal as after progressing to the Foundation Establishment Stage, cultivators became notably different from ordinary people. Just looking at their lifespan, they were almost like two different species.

Not only them, but the same situation also occurred to Ye Yingying, Si Tan’er, and Chi Feiyan. But their gestation period was not as long as Mo Wuxin and Nangong Suyi’s.

They only needed three years.

The higher the cultivation, the longer the gestation period. It’s been said that during the Nascent Soul stage, it can even reach thirty years. As for Divinity Transformation Stage, it would at least take a hundred years.

For stages like Refining Void, Mahayana, it would be unimaginable.

With a small chance of pregnancy and a long gestation period, it’s guaranteed that the offspring would possess extraordinary talents.

So, Xu Mu was quite expectant to see what kind of prodigy Mo Wuxin and Nangong Suyi would produce, especially Nangong Suyi.

As the succession ceremony was postponed and the child’s birth was far in the future, Xu Mu couldn’t wait here indefinitely.

He initially looked forward to paying respects to his master, but now master doesn’t even allow him to touch her.

As for Mo Wuxin, she was already obnoxious and now she had a legitimate excuse to keep him at a distance.

Without any enjoyment or matters to attend to, Xu Mu prepared to return to Pursuing Wind City and let Leng Yuening and Su Luan contribute their parts as well.

Before leaving, he left behind the pill recipes for Dust Reduction Pill and Hao Yuan Pill, asking Mo Wuxin to use the power of the Palace of Pure Heart to help collect the ingredients.

Both of these were tier seven pills. Gathering the ingredients was no easy task. Xu Mu had spread his net wide for collection, but to no avail.

It couldn’t be helped. When reaching high tiers, everything becomes scarce.

After he returned to Pursuing Wind City, he stayed for only two months. After making arrangements for Leng Yuening and Su Luan, he set out for the Outer Sea where two others waited. It wouldn’t be a good habit to keep them idle.

As for Lan Shijin, he ultimately didn’t recruit her.

Originally, chances were slim, so the more people he had, the better the odds.

That’s why he had persuaded her at the time.

But now, there wasn’t a need anymore.

If it did happen, it would be hard to handle when the time came.

On this trip to the Outer Sea, besides making the two pregnant, he considered taking them back.

He even thought about bringing everyone back to White River City, using White River City as his base and following a steady development route.

Although it may be slower, it would be safer.

Also, his Luck Value was increasing rapidly, and he could follow a comprehensive development path, self-sufficiency without risking anything.

Of course, these were just his thoughts. He would have to wait and see for the future.

On this trip to the Outer Sea, Xu Mu didn’t bring his tool corpse. His cultivation progress had reached its peak, so there was no use in bringing it.

Moreover, he won’t stay there for too long and will be back very soon.

Upon reaching the Outer Sea smoothly, Xu Mu received an unexpected response.

“Unwilling?”

That was the response from both of them.

Zhang Tianluo didn’t want to go because she carried the bloodline of the Sea Race, and wouldn’t be accepted in the Inner Sea. She considered it better to stay in the Outer Sea.

Here, she had a stable source of income and all her relationships were here too.

Except for Xu Mu, she didn’t have any other reason to leave.

Xu Yiren didn’t want to give up the power of Whale Sea Gang. She had agreed to Xu Mu’s proposition just to become a gang leader, and now there was no way she could easily give up.

Both of them had walked a solitary path to this point and were strong-willed individuals, not easily swayed by others.

So Xu Mu didn’t try to persuade them further and just prepared enough life­saving measures for them.

Everyone has their own fate. Even if he had them around all the time, he couldn’ t ensure that they would live well.
