Chapter 2421

Moving forward felt wonderful. In that instant, Zhu Yanyi understood completely. She wanted nothing but to keep advancing, for she was destined to be the future Medical God.

A whirlwind seemed to sweep through her body. Her cultivation surged, reaching the peak of the Immortal Saint realm.

Zhu Yanyi opened her eyes, a smile gracing her lips.

"You, you, you! You were just saying you were pregnant and couldn't break through. Now you’ve jumped straight to the peak of Immortal Saint? You’re not normal at all. You’re a freak," Ouyang Tianyun pointed at Zhu Yanyi, her voice filled with dissatisfaction.

Zhu Yanyi stuck out her tongue. "I don’t know either. I just looked at the scenery, and I broke through."

Ouyang Tianyun felt a lump in her throat. They were on the same flying vessel. Why could she break through just by looking at the view, while she found it boring?

Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi with concern. "How are you? Are you okay?"

Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile. "I’m fine. It’s good. You know I cultivate through the heart. When my insights deepen, I break through. I didn’t expect looking at the scenery would help me advance so quickly."

Hearing this, Yan Aohan laughed. "This shows it was your opportunity."

Zhu Yanyi knew this too. She was just surprised by how fast it happened. Hearing Yan Aohan’s words, she stopped overthinking. She smiled gently. "This is actually quite nice. Maybe if I keep breaking through like this, I’ll reach Immortal Emperor, then Immortal Venerable, ascend again to become a True God, and then I can find time to visit the Chaos Abyss."

By the time Zhu Yanyi said this, Ouyang Tianyun had already taken three steps back. She never knew her junior sister’s face could be so thick.

Zhu Yanyi glanced at Ouyang Tianyun. Perhaps because she was pregnant, she noticed she recently loved seeing others look helpless. She also enjoyed playing pranks on people, though she would never admit it. If anyone pointed it out, she would blame the tadpole in her belly. After all, she was very skilled at shifting the blame.

Seeing Ouyang Tianyun’s terrified expression, Yan Aohan twitched the corner of his mouth. He knew his wife’s mood had become a bit strange due to the pregnancy. But he cherished her. Pregnancy was hard. Mortal women carried for ten months, but for immortals, it was difficult. Once pregnant, it took fifty to sixty years to give birth. The process was even more painful.

One could say this was a new understanding of life, but one could not deny the hardship of a woman carrying a child. Because she understood her wife, Yan Aohan never stopped her pranks. she knew her well; she only teased people with words or mild sarcasm. Nothing more.

Zhu Yanyi was in a good mood, so she didn’t mind Ouyang Tianyun’s expression. She said, "It seems accepting the Immortal Emperor’s invitation to this gathering was a good idea."

Yan Aohan nodded in agreement. "Still, I think your health is most important. Since you are carrying a child, you should suppress your cultivation if possible. This prevents problems during childbirth."

The deeper the cultivation, the greater the potential pain of childbirth. Immortals were beings who defied heaven. Because of this, it was generally impossible for them to have children. If they did, giving birth required enduring immense pain. Sometimes, the mother could not withstand it, leading to death and the dissipation of her Dao.

Yan Aohan could ensure Zhu Yanyi survived safely, but she had no guarantee about the pain during the process.

Zhu Yanyi smiled at Yan Aohan. "You’re thinking too much. I haven’t even been pregnant for a year. Childbirth is far away. No need to worry so far ahead." Her casual attitude left Yan Aohan slightly confused.

She continued, "Besides, breaking through cultivation isn’t that simple. It doesn’t happen often. This time was really an accident. Who would have thought looking at the white clouds and blue sky would lead to this?"

Zhu Yanyi spoke the truth. She had only looked at the clouds for fun, with no other thoughts. She never expected such a result from simply watching the sky.

The rest of the journey was much calmer. Zhu Yanyi did not break through again. This was normal. If she had broken through the entire way, that would have been truly abnormal.

When Zhu Yanyi and the others stepped off the flying vessel, the Immortal Emperor twitched the corner of her mouth. "Could you have just flown over? Can you be normal for once?"

"Is using a flying vessel abnormal? Then why do you let your subordinates run flying vessel shops? Isn’t that too abnormal?" Zhu Yanyi was not afraid of the Immortal Emperor. After retorting, she waved to the Immortal Empress beside her. "Sister Ye Kuang, long time no see."

The Immortal Empress smiled lightly. "It has been a while. But you haven’t been idle. You have a new cargo in your belly, and your cultivation has increased."

"Yes," Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile. "All good things."

Ouyang Tianyun stepped forward and bowed. "Tianyun pays respects to his adoptive father and mother."

The Immortal Emperor laughed. "No need for formalities. I was thinking that since you returned, you would come to see me sooner."

"I had no choice. As soon as I arrived, someone dragged me onto a pirate ship," Ouyang Tianyun said, feeling quite innocent.

The Immortal Emperor understood immediately. From the moment Zhu Yanyi asked her for the address of Ouyang Tianyun’s Ascension Platform, she knew she had set her sights on her adopted son. She also knew Ouyang Tianyun had just come from the lower realms. The Immortal Realm had changed greatly. Rather than let her wander blindly, it was better for her to explore alongside Zhu Yanyi.

"I heard the architecture in your No-Man’s Land is quite nice," the Immortal Emperor said.

Zhu Yanyi replied, "Since the Azure Sovereign Gate was established, it is no longer a No-Man’s Land. It now belongs to the Azure Sovereign Gate."

Zhu Yanyi looked at the Immortal Emperor with a smile. "Actually, you should thank me. Look at that No-Man’s Land. It used to be so bad, so chaotic. Now it’s good. With my constraints, the economy and trade there will develop slowly."

Seeing Zhu Yanyi’s thick-skinned words, the Immortal Emperor decided to pretend she hadn’t heard them.
