Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Lu Chen did not answer Xu Jingshu's question immediately. He stared at Lu Siling for a while and found that Lu Siling's body was constantly turning from flesh into bones and then back into flesh.

It seems that her body is constantly transforming between immortals and strange creatures.

One moment he's a celestial being, the next he's a bizarre creature.

The strange power emanating from Lu Siling did not affect her; she was simply destroyed.

After confirming that Lu Siling was out of danger, Lu Chen said to Xu Jingshu, "She's fine, don't worry."

"Also, the power emanating from her is not divine power. Do not touch it, or your life will be completely devoured."

Xu Jingshu was not relieved by Lu Chen's words. Her face was full of worry, and she stared intently at Lu Siling.

"This is the special physique you were talking about?"

Lu Chen replied, "Yes."

Xu Jingshu continued to ask, "What kind of constitution is this?"

Lu Chen thought for a moment, but instead of answering directly, he said, "This power does not belong to this world; it is a forbidden power."

Upon hearing the words "forbidden power," Xu Jingshu immediately thought of strange and mysterious forces.

Although she had stayed at Yunmeng Peak since arriving at Xuan Yue Palace, she was still aware of what was happening in the outside world.

In an instant, her fair face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.

She had already vaguely guessed what kind of power Lu Siling possessed.

Xu Jingshu's mind went blank. How could her child be corrupted by some strange power? She herself hadn't been touched by it.

What exactly is going on?

After Xu Jingshu came to her senses, she looked at Lu Chen, hoping to find the answer from him.

"You...you're telling the truth? How could she possess that kind of power?"

Lu Chen replied, "I don't know either. I originally thought it was because you were tainted by that power that caused her to develop this constitution, but I have examined your body and there is no such forbidden power in your body."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingshu looked at Lu Chen with suspicion. Since she had not been tainted by this power, was it possible that Lu Chen had been tainted by a strange power, which was why Lu Siling's body carried a strange power when she conceived her?

Seeing Xu Jingshu looking at him with suspicion, Lu Chen instantly guessed what she was thinking, so he said, "I am not tainted by that power either. My other children are normal, but Lingling is different."

Xu Jingshu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

They were both perfectly fine, yet they gave birth to a being that was half human and half monster. That's just too strange.

Lu Chen continued, "What I find most incomprehensible is that her constitution should have been formed when she was inside you, but the forbidden power within her did not devour your life force."

The strange power's ability to devour life force is terrifying. However, Lu Siling has been in Xu Jingshu's womb for so many years without harming Xu Jingshu, the mother. Could it be that Lu Siling learned to suppress the strange power within her body a long time ago, which is why the mother and daughter have remained safe and sound?
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Xu Jingshu broke out in a cold sweat. She had only gotten a little closer to Lu Siling, and her life force had been devoured by an unknown amount.

If Lu Siling had suddenly released some strange power while she was inside her, she would probably have perished long ago. The thought alone is terrifying.

Xu Jingshu looked at her daughter, who was still suspended in mid-air, and said with a worried expression, "What should we do now? Should we just let her stay like this?"

"If the Palace Master were to enter the small world, she would definitely sense this power within her."

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then tried to wake Lu Siling, "Lingling, Lingling, wake up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen used his immortal power to transmit his voice to Lu Siling, "Lingling, it's your father, wake up quickly."

Lu Chen also didn't have a good way to deal with the strange power. He would directly use the Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Array to seal the strange creatures in Sunset Mountain Range. But Lu Siling was his daughter, and he couldn't very well use the Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Array to seal his own daughter.

The best solution now is to wake up Lu Siling. Once she wakes up, she might be able to suppress the strange power within her again, and then he won't need to do anything else.

However, no matter how Lu Chen called out to Lu Siling, Lu Siling remained asleep, and the strange power emanating from her body grew stronger and stronger.

If this continues, as Lu Siling releases more and more strange power, it is likely that this power will leak out of the small world. Once the people of Xuan Yue Palace notice it, it will be troublesome.

Just as Lu Chen was at a loss for what to do, Xu Jingshu, who was standing next to him, suddenly felt dizzy and her delicate body swayed as if she were about to collapse.

Xu Jingshu covered her forehead and said weakly, "Lu...Lu Chen, I'm a little..."

Before Xu Jingshu could finish speaking, she fell to the ground. Without hesitation, Lu Chen turned around and caught her as she fell, letting her fall into his arms.

"Jing Shu, are you alright?"

While asking questions, Lu Chen infused Xu Jingshu with life force and examined her body at the same time.

However, after Lu Chen's examination, Xu Jingshu's health was excellent, with no problems whatsoever; in fact, it could be said that she was almost too healthy.

Moreover, Xu Jingshu is about to break through to the Immortal King realm.

When they first met, Xu Jingshu was only at the Golden Immortal level. In less than a thousand years, she is about to break through to the Immortal King level.

Compared to Lu Chen, Xu Jingshu's cultivation speed is naturally slower, but compared to ordinary people, she has reached the Immortal King realm in less than a thousand years, making her a genius among geniuses.

Lu Chen's cultivation level improved so quickly because of the system's help, but Xu Jingshu doesn't have a system, so there's a problem with her cultivation level improving so quickly.

Even though Xuan Yue Palace provided Xu Jingshu with a large amount of cultivation resources, improving one's realm still requires a process. Moreover, Xu Jingshu only has the special physique of the Alluring Body and does not have any other special physiques that can quickly improve her cultivation.

Just as Lu Chen was wondering how Xu Jingshu's cultivation had improved so quickly, a surge of violent power erupted from Xu Jingshu's body, and the next moment, Xu Jingshu's cultivation directly broke through to the Immortal King Realm.

However, the next moment, Xu Jingshu's body flew into the air, and streams of eerie black power surged out from her body.

Seeing this, Lu Chen was completely dumbfounded.

He had examined Xu Jingshu's body countless times. With his sensitivity to strange powers, he would have been able to detect it instantly if she had been tainted by them. He had never noticed any strange power in Xu Jingshu's body before.

Where did this strange power come from?
Lu Chen now understood why his daughter was half-human and half-monster; it turned out that Xu Jingshu herself was tainted by strange power. (End of Chapter)
