Chapter 553 Ancestral Stone Infant
When Ning Wengui woke up, it was already a month later. He was stunned for a long time when he met his master's complicated gaze. He finally came to his senses and, as if remembering who he was, bowed to the leader.

"Your mind is so dull, there's no need for formalities. Why don't you hold your newborn daughter properly?"

A newborn daughter? When did he have a daughter?
Ning Wengui pressed his still-chaotic brain, looked in the direction the leader pointed, and then his breath hitched.

There was a cradle there, and in the cradle was a little dumpling sleeping soundly. With his sharp eyesight, he could naturally tell at a glance that the little dumpling not only had purple eyes and a crystal body, but also had half of his bloodline in it.

As for the other half...

Seeing the dragon and phoenix aura emanating from the little dumpling, Ning Wengui fell silent.

The leader walked up to the little girl and rubbed her smooth little face. "This little thing, you must be your daughter, right? What happened between you and Lin Zhao in the cemetery? This little one wasn't here when I brought you back. She suddenly appeared in your arms a few days ago."

Ning Wengui, suppressing the soreness in her body, walked to the cradle.

Others might not be able to guess the little guy's origins, but he could tell at a glance.

"She should be the incarnation of the Primordial Stone. She probably received most of my blood and some of Lin Zhao's essence blood, which gave her her own intelligence, and then she turned into an infant."

Ordinary cultivators know nothing about the Ancestral Stone, but those who reach the level of the Lord are not entirely ignorant about it.

It is said that there were only two Ancestral Stones. One of them became the Nuwa Stone, which Nuwa used to refine. Nuwa divided it into five small pieces to repair the damage caused by the evil thoughts from another world to the Three Sovereigns Plane. Then it was passed down to Nuwa's bloodline.

The other piece disappeared with the fall of the Creator God, and it is clear that the piece Ning Wengui mentioned is the one that disappeared.

The companion of the Creator God, at its weakest, is a stone with divine properties; at its strongest, it may become a... god.

Although Ning Wengui's words were concise, the leader still guessed the truth: "The Ancestral Stone has been following you all along, actually it came according to your wishes, didn't it?"

So the ancestral stone eventually turned into a baby girl with his and Lin Zhao's bloodline, and this child thought of nothing else.

"What do you plan to do about this...?"

He wanted to address the child, but considering the girl's somewhat terrifying identity, coupled with the purple-eyed, glassy body bestowed by Ning Wengui's blood and the aura of the Primordial Dragon-Phoenix, the leader didn't know how to address her. After hesitating for a moment, he chose a neutral title.

"Him?"

Ning Wengui's gaze fell on the baby girl's features, which resembled Lin Zhao's. Before he could say anything, the baby opened her eyes, met his gaze, and stretched out her chubby little hands, which were like lotus roots, smiling and asking for a hug.

Two pairs of equally beautiful purple eyes met, and Ning Wengui's heart stirred.

This child, except for his eyes, is a perfect copy of Lin Zhao.

“He followed because of Wen Gui’s blood, and was born because of Wen Gui’s selfish thoughts…” Holding the baby, Ning Wen Gui lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl who was stretching out her chubby little hands and pulling hard on his long silver hair: “That is Wen Gui’s daughter.”

The leader seemed to have anticipated this, as she had thought so from the beginning.

After all, this child is really adorable, with the same outstanding looks as her mother, but without her mother's aloof, sacred, and unapproachable aura. How could anyone not like her?
So she initially referred to the little dumpling as Ning Wengui's daughter, only becoming somewhat concerned after learning the little dumpling's true identity.

"But what about Fellow Daoist Lin..."

It was obvious from how decisively Lin Zhao left that she had no idea she had become a mother.

“This child is mine.” Ning Wengui interrupted the leader, “She doesn’t need to know, she’s just my daughter.”

Lin Zhao had no romantic feelings for him; the child was the fruit of his obsession, but for Lin Zhao, it was perhaps just a responsibility and constraint imposed upon her.

If this child were brought before Lin Zhao, in the best-case scenario, Lin Zhao would accept the child as his daughter and marry him because of the child; in the worst-case scenario, Lin Zhao might strip the child of his own bloodline and completely kill the infant who had already taken human form and possessed intelligence.

Even at the best possible point, Ning Wengui still resisted deep down. He had his own obsession, but he didn't want this obsession, which arose because of him, to cause Lin Zhao any trouble.

When his feelings go unrequited, they remain solely his own concern.

The leader knew what Ning Wengui was afraid of, but she still wanted to persuade her: "Based on my interactions with Lin Xiaoyou, she is not the kind of heartless person. She will definitely take good care of this child."

Ning Wengui, holding the little girl who was happily tugging at his hair with her two tiny hands, slowly knelt down before the leader.

Lord Kui: "..."

Well, after all, this is her last disciple. If she doesn't side with her own disciple, whose side can she side with?

……

After leaving the spirit boat, Lin Zhao calculated the time and realized that he still had a few days left before his vacation. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt some concern about the speed at which his cultivation was improving.

Swallowing such a large chunk of otherworldly evil thought only allowed her to reach the mid-stage of the Integration Realm. The path to advancing and transcending tribulations was even more difficult than she had imagined.

Since this path couldn't be rushed, Lin Zhao put it aside for the time being and took out the Heavenly Mirror to inquire about the situation of Jin Ya and the others.

However, on the Tian Tong Mirror, after the message was sent, Jin Ya did not reply for a long time.

Lin Zhao simply put away the Heavenly Mirror and activated the contract connection.

Upon sensing this, Lin Zhao's expression changed.

Although Jin Ya is fine now, she's a little too calm, it seems like... she's asleep?!

Lin Zhao summoned the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear and headed towards the location of Jin Ya.

……

Fan Chen and Zi Yue poked the unconscious Jin Ya, and then both turned their gazes toward Chen Yuan.

Shen Yuan coughed and said, "Why are you looking at me? She herself said she was immune to all poisons, that's why I made her drink a sip of the blood of the Ten Thousand Poison Dragon!"

Moreover, it was also very painful for him to fight this poison dragon at the Great Perfection of the Integration Stage! With the cooperation of Jin Ya and the occasional assistance from Fan Chen and Zi Yue, it took him almost ten days to defeat this poison dragon.

This huge dragon was covered in poison and couldn't be eaten, so it ended up being a good choice for Jin Ya. After drinking a large bowl of its blood, Jin Ya drank it like she had drunk a whole vat of wine and fell into a drunken stupor!
This is the Fallen Dragon Cliff!

A mentally unstable fallen dragon could suddenly appear anywhere. Jin Ya, a key combatant, died drunk here. Shen Yuan constantly exuded an aura of "I'm unreliable." Fan Chen and Zi Yue huddled together, trembling.

Zi Yue: "If only Master were here, Master would surely have a way."

Fan Chen nodded: "Master will definitely have a way."

Zi Yue continued, "I think the Qiankun Bag is with Jin Ya. Where are we resting now? I'm so hungry."

Fan Chen repeated, "I'm so hungry."

Shen Yuan was speechless: "I could believe Zi Yue if she said she was hungry when she's not even an adult yet, but you're an adult merman, what level of cultivation do you have, how could you be hungry!"

Suddenly, a dragon's roar came from not far away, approaching them. In the dark and gloomy atmosphere, Shen Yuan was also a little scared.

He will definitely acknowledge his daughter; Xiao Ning is also one of the male leads.
