#21 - Breakthrough in foundation building! Yuanying Zhenjun has arrived!

Chapter 21: Breaking Through to Foundation Establishment! Nascent Soul True Lord Arrives!

Time flies, and another year has passed in haste.

The Huang Family!

A cultivator hurriedly entered the hall, handing a spiritual talisman to Huang Mingyi: "The Azure Sea Sect has sent another message, this time a spiritual talisman personally written by Elder Guan."

Huang Mingyi's eyelids twitched as he asked, "Is there still no news from Miaoying's side?"

"No."

"Reply, and say that Miaoying is still in seclusion and cannot return to the sect for the time being."

The former acknowledged the order and left.

Huang Mingyi sighed, a worried look in his eyes.

He didn't expect Huang Miaoying's pregnancy to last so long. Huang Qianqian has already given birth to her second child, who is a Heavenly Spiritual Root, yet there is no movement on her side, making him anxious.

Huang Miaoying is, after all, Guan Zilan's personal disciple, and there is also the intention of marrying her into the Guan family, so she naturally cares more about her.

Not returning to the sect for two years has already made Guan Zilan suspicious, and this is the fourth time this year that the Azure Sea Sect has sent a message to inquire.

But the current Huang Miaoying definitely cannot return to the sect. Returning with a big belly would surely enrage Guan Zilan.

"I can only stall for now, hoping Miaoying can give birth soon..."

Huang Mingyi gave a wry smile.

As for Qin Changqing, in this year, he has gradually reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining through the continuous return of his children's cultivation, only one step away from the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, this step is not so easy to cross, after all, it is a leap in major realms, requiring more cultivation returned from the children.

He was not in a hurry, anyway, he had plenty of lifespan and could slowly wait for the children to grow up.

Without having to worry about cultivation, he spent his days with his wives and children, occasionally going out to do multiple-choice questions. His life was very fulfilling, except for occasionally worrying about the children experiencing the harshness of society outside, he was still very happy most of the time.

In the blink of an eye, another year passed.

Inside the Qin Family's mansion.

Qin Changqing took a deep breath, set up a restriction around him, and then brought up the system interface.

【Obtain one-tenth of Qin Qiming's cultivation, do you want to receive it?】

【Obtain one-tenth of Qin Mengxue's cultivation, do you want to receive it?】

【Obtain one percent of Qin Mengyao's cultivation, do you want to receive it?】

… …

"Receive!"

Qin Changqing's forehead bulged with veins, as if in response to his words, even more spiritual energy poured in.

Boom!

Qin Changqing only felt a muffled sound like a great bell ringing in his body. The bottleneck was finally broken through, and he instantly felt that his whole person was different, as if he had stepped into a new world.

Foundation Establishment Stage!

"I finally reached Foundation Establishment!"

Qin Changqing's face was flushed with excitement: "This is the feeling of Foundation Establishment Pill, it's too strong!"

"Children, listen to your father and thank you."

… …

Azure Sea Sect, Guan Zilan's cave abode!

A female cultivator flew into the cave.

"Greetings, Master!"

Guan Zilan's clear and cold voice asked, "Is Miaoying still not returning?"

The female disciple handed over the message talisman, "The Huang family replied that Junior Sister Miaoying is still in seclusion and cannot return for the time being."

"I went to the Huang family, but I didn't see Junior Sister either. They said Junior Sister is in seclusion, at a critical period, and wouldn't let me disturb her, fearing it would affect Junior Sister's cultivation. I couldn't forcefully investigate either."

"Seclusion? Miaoying has only just broken through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. It's still too early to try to reach Golden Core. Why would she need to be in seclusion for so long at this time? With Miaoying's talent, three years of seclusion should have been enough for a breakthrough... I want to see what the Huang family is up to!"

As the voice fell, Guan Zilan flew out of the cave abode, controlling her magical treasure to quickly soar into the sky.

Huang Family Mansion.

A rainbow light descended from the sky, falling straight down, treating the Huang family's formation barrier as nothing.

"Who dares to trespass into the Huang family!"

Someone shouted loudly.

A woman wearing a purple dress landed in the courtyard, coldly sweeping over the approaching Huang family disciples. The pressure she casually exuded suffocated people.

"Don't be rude!"

The alarmed Huang Yuanjing quickly rushed out. Seeing the woman, he was shocked, a look of fear and guilt flashing in his eyes. He stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "Junior greets Elder Guan! Why didn't Elder Guan notify us in advance so that Junior could go out to welcome you!"

This person was Huang Miaoying's master, the Azure Sea Sect's Elder Guan Zilan.

"There's no need for a welcome. Where is Miaoying? Let her come and see me. She's been staying at home for so long, it's time for her to return!" Guan Zilan said indifferently.

Huang Yuanjing's forehead was sweating.

Huang Miaoying was currently in the delivery room, about to give birth. At this crucial moment, Guan Zilan actually came in person, catching him somewhat off guard.

Just one day!

It would have been better to wait one more day.

Huang Yuanjing was somewhat anxious, wondering how to deal with the situation.

"Reporting to Elder, Miaoying is currently in seclusion, and it's inconvenient for her to come out to meet you. Disturbing her might cause her to go into Qi Deviation," Huang Yuanjing could only bite the bullet and say.

"Inconvenient?"

Guan Zilan raised an eyebrow, heavily humming in her nose: "I am her master, is it also inconvenient for me? Whether she will go into Qi Deviation or not, I will know after taking a look. Besides, if something really happens, I need to protect her!"

"Do you think anyone is more qualified than me?"

Huang Yuanjing felt bitter in his heart, repeatedly cupping his hands and saying, "That's naturally not the case. Who is more qualified than Elder Guan? It's just that Miaoying is in seclusion in the clan, and there is a formation to isolate her..."

The other party was a Nascent Soul True Lord, and he dared not stop her, so he could only persuade her with kind words and delay for time.

The other Huang family higher-ups also rushed over one after another.

Facing the power of the Nascent Soul True Lord, many people showed panicked expressions, guessing that the other party was Guan Zilan. Some with poor mental fortitude were even so frightened that their faces turned pale.

Seeing the Huang family's nervous and hesitant expressions, Guan Zilan's doubts deepened. She coldly snorted and directly unleashed her divine sense to cover the entire Huang family.

Almost instantly, she locked onto Huang Miaoying in the delivery room, and her expression changed drastically.

"You dare to deceive me!"

Frost appeared on Guan Zilan's face, and her eyes revealed deep disappointment and anger.

Huang Miaoying had extraordinary aptitude, coupled with her intelligence, which Guan Zilan deeply loved, and had long regarded her as a daughter.

She didn't expect that the disciple she had painstakingly cultivated would deceive her, how could she not be angry?

"Elder Guan..." Seeing Guan Zilan's expression, Huang Yuanjing immediately understood that she had discovered the truth. His heart trembled, wanting to explain, but he didn't know how to explain, his face full of panic.

"I'll settle the score with you later!"

Guan Zilan coldly left a sentence, and her figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. The next moment, she had already appeared in the delivery room.

"Master... Master!" Huang Miaoying, who was working hard to give birth, was shocked to see Guan Zilan. She struggled to get up, but weakly lay back down.

"Miaoying... How could you... Why would you do this!" Guan Zilan couldn't understand. Her beloved disciple, on whom she had placed high hopes, had been hiding for three years, actually giving birth to a child.

"Did the Huang family force you!"

Guan Zilan's anger surged in her heart. Having broken through to Nascent Soul for so many years, it was the first time she had lost control of her emotions so much.

"Master, it's nothing to do with the family, it's me... I... I volunteered..." Huang Miaoying didn't know how to face her master for a moment.

"You are truly a good disciple of mine. For the past three years, I was wondering why you didn't return, and I was worried about you. I didn't expect that, for the sake of giving birth, you would not hesitate to deceive me?" Guan Zilan's eyes were full of disappointment as she scolded, "What kind of man can make you sacrifice so much, even at the cost of damaging your Dao foundation, to bear his offspring?!"

Guan Zilan had her own plans. Huang Miaoying was still in the ascending stage of cultivation. Guan Zilan did want her to marry into the Guan family, but she also wanted to wait until she formed her Golden Core before talking about it.

As a Innate Spiritual Body, prematurely conceiving offspring would also damage her own spiritual body's Dao foundation.

She didn't want to affect her disciple's future either, but she didn't expect Huang Miaoying to degenerate and secretly become pregnant!

And she was already giving birth!

"Master, I..." Huang Miaoying's face was full of shame.

However, her physical strength was somewhat insufficient now, and the child about to be born had absorbed too much of her spiritual energy.

Guan Zilan also saw Huang Miaoying's current state and that it was not suitable to pursue the matter.

"You all go out!" Guan Zilan said with a cold face, waving her hand to drive the others in the delivery room out, "Hmph, I won't argue with you for now, give birth to the child first!"

After all, she was her own disciple, and she felt sorry for her even if she was wrong. Guan Zilan slowly input spiritual energy to help Huang Miaoying give birth.

"Master... I'm in so much pain!"

"Hmm? Why is giving birth so difficult? You're not a mortal, why would there still be a difficult labor?!"

"This child..."
