My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 297 The Ruthless Show Begins!
The Nascent Soul cultivator, True Man Baiyun, was unapproachable in the eyes of those present, but in front of the Ashes Walker, he was nothing special, just a tiny ant that could be crushed with a single finger.

The problem is that Master Baiyun is present. His strength is not important; what matters is the significance he represents.

This means that the Yuanxing Town incident is no longer just a one-man show by the protagonist. With the entry of experts from the Immortal Sect, where is there any room for you, a Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator, to make a difference?

Even Lin Fan's sinister intentions will encounter some resistance.

With the Nascent Soul cultivator Baiyun Zhenren present, it would obviously take more effort to quietly remove the child from Wang Xiaorou's womb...

'But it's not a big problem.'

As I said before: Nascent Soul cultivators are too weak.

If someone of Xu Haonan's human lineage really wanted to make a move, there were thousands upon thousands of ways to bypass Baiyun Zhenren's perception.

"By the way, Senior Sister Xiaorou."

Just as Lin Xiantian was pondering these thoughts, Xia Lin spoke again, smiling as he addressed Wang Xiaorou.

"I think right now, Senior Sister Xiaorou should contact her family as soon as possible, after all, pregnancy and childbirth are major events."

Wang Xiaorou was taken aback, then immediately nodded, secretly glancing at Lin Fan with a shy expression, before giving Xia Lin a deep bow: "Thank you for your guidance, Junior Brother Xia Tian."

Lin Fan's face instantly turned ashen.

Because he realized this: Wang Xiaorou was not a commoner... Behind this woman stood the Wang family, one of the eight great families of the world, second only to the five great immortal sects!
……

Let's return to the plot design of the book "The Legend of the Outer Gods and Immortals".

Since she's the female lead, she must have some skills.

Zhong Ling, for example, is the reincarnation of an ancient goddess, and her potential is immeasurable.

The first female lead to appear, Wang Xiaorou, is no pushover either; she is a noblewoman from a prominent family.

In the early stages, Wang Xiaorou's identity provided Lin Fan with a great deal of help.

Furthermore, because their marital relationship was based on the aphrodisiac, their seemingly close relationship was actually justified—which provided the theoretical basis for Lin Fan to later establish a harem.

The problem is that Wang Xiaorou is already pregnant...

Detoxifying from aphrodisiacs is one thing, but getting pregnant is another.

Being forced into something or not having the right feelings for someone else—none of that matters when it comes to your child.

Seeing that Wang Xiaorou had taken out the family communication jade and reported the matter to her mother, Lin Fan slowly turned his head to look at "Xia Tian". He saw Xia Tian holding a teacup, slowly taking a sip of tea, and then smiling slightly at him.

"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to you..."

Lin Fan's eyes said, "No, there's something wrong with you!"

Xia Lin smiled without saying a word.

Yes, I have a problem. I made you a father by accident.

But so what if there are problems?
This time, I want you to realize that I have a problem!
Their eyes met, as if sparks were flying in the void.

Just then, Master Baiyun descended from the sky and came into the crowd, and everyone stood up to greet him.

"My fellow disciples, there's no need for you to be so polite."

Master Baiyun smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to everyone present.

As an outer sect steward of the Xuantian Sect, he had become an old man with a white beard and was still only a Nascent Soul cultivator. When he appeared in front of a group of geniuses, True Person Baiyun did not dare to put on any airs.

Xia Lin stole a glance at Master Baiyun, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

I feel bad for this native of the storyline...

……

Xia Lin is ruthless and vicious.

This is a fact.

In this design, Baiyun Zhenren, as part of Xia Lin's plan, may suffer some undeserved misfortune.

In order to disrupt the storyline in Yuanxing Town and protect Wang Xiaorou's unborn child from Lin Xiantian, Xu Haonan, and other Ash District Walkers, Xia Lin plans to make a big scene.

What's the fuss about?
Master Baiyun died.

Only by killing this Nascent Soul stage cultivator can stronger native beings be introduced, thus allowing them to act as the child's bodyguards.

According to the plan, Master Baiyun will soon set off to investigate the ghostly crying incident in Yuanxing Town.

Then Xing Fanwu took action and killed Baiyun Zhenren.

Considering that the Creators of Heaven and the Ashes of Superstar are still fighting and resisting each other, Xingfanwu will surely be able to easily capture Baiyun Zhenren.

Then, by using this to attract stronger cultivators from the immortal sects, we can gradually advance and eventually attract true immortals and immortal lords, which will be about right.

However, plans are plans, and changes can happen faster than plans can happen.

Just as Master Baiyun sat down, he suddenly sensed something and looked at Wang Xiaorou with curiosity.

Baiyun Zhenren stared at Wang Xiaorou's belly for a long time, until Wang Xiaorou was embarrassed, and then he suddenly gasped.

"This junior apprentice seems to be pregnant."

If it's obvious in the Foundation Establishment stage, it's even more obvious in the Nascent Soul stage.

Wang Xiaorou nodded shyly, but unexpectedly, Master Baiyun suddenly waved his hand.

"Come here, let me take a closer look."

Wang Xiaorou obeyed and stepped forward, arriving in front of Master Baiyun.

Master Baiyun used his spiritual energy to condense silk threads and performed a pulse diagnosis on the spot.

Sensing something, Master Baiyun's expression turned serious.

He suddenly looked at Wang Xiaorou's lower abdomen and exclaimed in shock, "Her soul is extraordinary; she was born extraordinary!"

"The child in your womb has the potential to become an emperor!"

Everyone: "Huh!?"

No, this child is so young, how could you tell?!

Not to mention others, even Xia Lin was stunned.

The Dao of Immortality is indeed unpredictable, and its power is extraordinary.

However, considering the mysterious and profound concept of the soul, Xia Lin did not feel comfortable making any comments.

And this emperor-like potential has even emerged...

But upon closer examination, it makes sense.

After all, if one possesses the skill of the Six Heavenly Soldiers, their offspring will inevitably be reincarnations of the Heavenly Soldiers, possessing innate spiritual roots.

In other words, she is definitely a celestial being, with a level similar to that of Zhong Ling, the reincarnation of an ancient goddess.

This is a rare talent that even the five major immortal sects are eager to acquire!

The old Taoist priest Baiyun rolled his eyes and decided not to rush to solve the mystery of Yuanxing Town.

He looked at Wang Xiaorou with a smile: "This child is extraordinary, but I wonder if she has found a mentor?"

I should try to take advantage of this opportunity; it might just be my lucky break.

However, before Wang Xiaorou could respond, a sound suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"My Wang family members don't need you to go to any more trouble, fellow Daoist."

A group of five people suddenly appeared and walked in through the door.

The leader, with her elegant and noble bearing, was Wang Xiaorou's biological mother, Li Jixian, a True Immortal!

Xia Lin raised an eyebrow.

Hehe, you came pretty fast. I underestimated the bond between Wang Xiaorou and Li Jixian, mother and daughter.

Of course, this is a good thing for Xia Lin.

But for Lin Fan, this was a terrible thing.

The male protagonist was standing to the side; he had been invisible since the beginning.

He listened blankly to what "born extraordinary" meant, the joy of becoming a father had completely taken over his mind.

Until the cold snort reached his ears.

"Is this the mess you made, you brat?"

Li Jixian spoke, which startled Lin Xiantian.

He immediately bowed, wanting to deny it, but dared not.

He could only nod with a wry smile and say, "I am forced by circumstances..."

"Alright, stop with the excuse of being forced by circumstances."

Li Jixian then looked at Wang Xiaorou's abdomen, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and slowly said, "I know you, a disciple of the Seeking Dao Sect, with decent potential, but that's about it."

“Someone like you wouldn’t normally be of any interest to the Wang family…”

Here it comes, the wicked mother-in-law forcibly breaks up a perfect couple!

The main character's standard plot is...

Lin Xiantian was secretly pleased, feeling that there might still be room for maneuver in this matter.

"However……"

Li Jixian changed the subject: "For the sake of the child in your belly, it's not that I can't let you into my Wang family."

Lin Xiantian's smile froze on his face.

"But there are prerequisites."

Before Li Jixian could finish speaking, he said, "You and Xiaorou must have at least three children within ten years. Only then will you be qualified to marry into my Wang family. What do you think?"

Lin Xiantian was completely dumbfounded.

With a quick thought, Lin Xiantian realized what was going on.

Li Jixian is eyeing the potential of Wang Xiaorou's unborn child and is treating herself like a baby-making machine...

In the world of cultivation, talent has a chance of being passed down.

If parents are highly gifted, their children are likely to be highly gifted as well.

But the seedlings of immortality are hard to come by.

Lin Fan and Wang Xiaorou hit the mark on the first try, and she became pregnant with a precious child who was destined for greatness!

Even if Lin Fan hasn't shown any amazing talent yet, even if he has shown some qualities of a strong person, it still can't compare to your reproductive value.

As a true immortal and the mistress of the three branches of the Wang family, Li Jixian's word is law.

"Ok, deal!"

Lin Xiantian: What the hell do I do now?!
……

Xia Lin almost spat out the tea in her mouth.

He then said that this was not his intention!
Xia Lin is not the kind of intelligent character who can calculate everything. Her starting point in this game is simply to ensure that Lin Fan can have a child born smoothly, thereby disrupting the original plot.

The impact of a single child can be truly enormous.

But now that Li Jixian has appeared, Xia Lin suddenly realizes that there seems to be an unexpected gain!

Lin Fan is no longer the protagonist, but has become a harem character?

What happened...

But then I had a change of heart, and wow, this is really a brilliant idea.

You should just stay in the Wang family and have children quietly. Don't participate in the plot or anything. In that case, your status as the protagonist will be basically useless—what kind of protagonist is a protagonist who doesn't participate in the plot?
The entire novel, "The Legend of the Immortals and Heroes," is driven by the protagonist. Now that you've been trapped in the Wang family for ten years, the foundation of this book is gone!
The notification sound in my ear exploded instantly!
[Thanks to your actions, the progress of the mission "Deceive the Heavens and Cross the Sea" has reached 11.2%!]

[You have received a 10% progress bonus: Deception!]

[Deception: None of the local characters, regardless of their strength, can see through your identity as an "extraterrestrial demon."]

Xia Lin almost burst out laughing.

Is there any extra reward for completing this mission?

But it’s normal to think about it.

The bizarre and grotesque appearance, along with other disguises, is unlikely to fool the top experts in this world. The task of deceiving the heavens and crossing the sea is already quite difficult, so it is reasonable for the Ash Zone system to give some extra rewards during the task process.

As the notification tone ended, Li Jixian, Wang Xiaorou, Lin Fan, and Wang Xiaorou's unborn child embarked on their journey home.

Judging from Lin Fan's numb expression and the way he kept looking back, one could tell just how incredibly frustrated Lin Xiantian was right now...

How to deal with this?
What should I do?

He wanted to call on Xu Haonan for help.

However, even Xu Haonan himself is in danger when he faces Bao Bowen.

I'm looking for NO.259.

As a result, NO.259 fought Xiao Feng to a standstill.

His own power is sealed, preventing him from making a move. Although the items in his personal space are still usable and can instantly kill True Immortals, he has already killed everyone present. What will happen to him in the subsequent events?
Xia Lin, possessing the Six Armor Heavenly Soldiers, directly pushed Lin Xiantian into this awkward predicament.

But as Li Jixian took out the immortal boat and led people back to the Wang family's ancestral home, Lin Xiantian calmed down.

"We can only wait and see when NO.259 and Xu Haonan make their move."

The system notification sound from the Ash Zone that rang in his ears made Lin Xiantian's lips twitch again.

The storyline has been severely disrupted, and the plot in Yuanxing Town has failed to progress.

[As the story unfolds, you will not be able to form a bond with Zhong Ling, while your connection with Wang Xiaorou will deepen.]

[According to calculations, the failure of this plot segment will have some impact on subsequent storylines, but it can be mitigated through other means. Please consider and implement the specific methods yourself.]

However, there is no doubt that you should settle your personal affairs as soon as possible and break free from the shackles of the Wang family.

[Note: Please handle Wang Xiaorou's unborn child with care, as this will have unforeseen consequences for the subsequent plot.]

[Since the storyline has been disrupted, you will still be subject to the following punishment:]

[After the Ember Zone ends, your base stats and stats will be forcibly reduced by 3%.]

The consequences of this storyline's failure are not as severe as those of the Antarctic Cave and Dongchuan Divine Sword storylines.

Even if handled properly, the impact on the subsequent plot will not be so profound—provided that the correct approach is found and the issue of Lin Fan's son is properly addressed.

But the punishment still has to be endured...

Previously, due to the failure of the Antarctic Cave Heaven and Dongchuan Divine Sword lines, Lin Xiantian's racial stats and attributes were reduced by 5%, and now another 3% has been reduced.

I didn't get any benefits; instead, I gave away eight percent of my attributes.

Lin Xiantian felt that something seemed off about the Ash Zone this time.

As the celestial ship set sail, Lin Xiantian looked back down at Yuanxing Town.

In Yuanxing Town, Xia Lin smiled and gazed at him.

Xia Lin opened her mouth and made a "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations" mouth shape, causing Lin Xiantian's face to twitch and his heart to clench.

He wasn't stupid; he realized that this person was the one behind the Yuanxing Town incident.

At the same time, they also vaguely discerned Xia Lin's identity.

"What nonsense! It's Xia Lin, not Xia Tian!"

They hadn't taken Xia Lin seriously at first, but now it seemed they had no choice but to consider him a thorn in their side.

……

Xia Lin said she didn't care.

His actions in this game, while not particularly remarkable, were not entirely without merit.

The Ash Walker has many tricks up his sleeve, and he'll eventually figure out that Xia Tian has a problem when he goes back to review the game. So there's no need to focus on hiding his identity.

There are advantages to hiding one's identity, and there are also advantages to not hiding one's identity.

After seeing Lin Fan and his wife off, Master Baiyun was still at the scene. Xia Lin pondered for a moment, then decisively took his leave and secretly contacted Xing Fanwu to retreat.

Lin Fan messed up the plot himself, and Xia Lin turned him into a sowing machine.

This part of the story ends here; Xia Lin has achieved her goal.

Thus, the plan naturally moved on to the next stage...

That's right, there's a next step.

Although not an intellectual type of player, Xia Lin is quite good at seizing opportunities and adapting to changing situations.

As soon as the skill "Possessing the Six Heavenly Soldiers" appeared, Xia Lin immediately designed several ruthless moves centered around this skill!
You think that's the end of it?
No, no, no... this is just the beginning.

……

Three days later.

Xiao Feng suffered another defeat, but this time the damage was not severe.

NO.259 had its key skill removed, and the skill it was replaced with was not as strong as before. Although it was still stronger than Xiao Feng, the gap in strength between the two had indeed narrowed to an acceptable level.

After Xiao Feng's defeat, Bao Bowen also left with his men, leaving Xu Haonan outside Yuanxing Town, holding the broken Luo Tian chessboard and half of his dead men, panting heavily.

After meeting up with NO.259, Xu Haonan then contacted Lin Xiantian.

Then, from Lin Xiantian, he learned the cause and effect of the Yuanxing Town incident.

Xu Haonan's complexion could be described as purplish-red, reddish-white...

"This……"

He withstood Bao Bowen's pressure, but couldn't withstand Xia Lin's chicken-stealing.

What was initially taken lightly by a passerby turned out to be a major blow to their side!

"Don't be impatient yet."

Holding the communication jade, Xu Haonan quickly composed himself, his mind racing.

He spoke calmly, "You should stay at the Wang family's place for a while... Anyway, the Yuanxing Town storyline is ruined, and there are still several months before the next part of the story, so there's no need to rush..."

"I will definitely find a way to get you out of the Wang family."

"The most urgent task is to eliminate the unstable factors as soon as possible... Yes, I'm talking about Xia Lin!"

Like Lin Xiantian, Xu Haonan also harbored deep hatred for Xia Lin.

Those who steal chickens and dogs are the most hated!
Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Xu Haonan's eyes.

"Now that you've been exposed, you can forget about living any longer."

Turning his head to look at NO.259, Xu Haonan spoke in a cold voice.

"We've got a mission. This time, we're going to hunt down Xia Lin. We won't rest until he's dead."

NO.259 nodded blankly.

He also harbored deep hatred for Xia Lin. At this moment, Xu Haonan spoke up, and NO.259 should accept this mission.

But then he saw Xu Haonan clench his fist tightly.

"And this time, I will personally take charge!"

The skill fluctuations on his body flashed and disappeared in an instant.

【Soul-Chasing Eye (Racial Heritage Level): Passive Effect: Greatly enhances your eyesight. Active Effect: Requires the target's aura. Once activated, it can track a single target, making the target impossible to hide from! Tracking lasts for one day, and this skill has a one-month cooldown.】

Xu Haonan had Xia Lin's scent.

After all, Xia Lin was the catalyst for this whole affair.

The reason it wasn't used before was because Xia Lin was unimportant, and also because the skill's cooldown time was relatively long.

However, driven by hatred and the desire to eliminate potential threats, it has become unavoidable.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Lin's location became clear.

This made Xu Haonan's lips curl into a cold smile.

"Where do you think you're going to run to this time, you little brat?!"

……

Xia Lin said, "This time I'm not going anywhere."

I stayed at Watchtower...

The place Xia Lin is currently in is called Watchtower.

After separating from the main force of the Xuantian Sect, Xia Lin and Xing Fanwu hurried along, spending a whole day crossing two major regions before finally arriving at this place called the Watchtower.

As for the purpose...

"I possess a skill that can fulfill the wishes of the Pavilion Master and his wife."

Inside the Watchtower, the Pavilion Master, Wang Dao, and his wife, Ping Cai'er, looked at each other in bewilderment.

This kid just started practicing Qi cultivation, and he dares to come here, shamelessly claiming he can grant their wishes...

If it weren't for the fact that Xia Lin was a high-ranking disciple of the Xuantian Sect, and that he was also quite good-looking and had a good temperament (thanks to the Five Elements Reincarnation's favorability), the two of them, as Golden Immortals, would not have needed to bother with such a nobody.

Since things have come to this point, it's not good to offend the Xuantian Sect.

Wang Dao took a sip of his spiritual tea, gesturing for Xia Lin to continue; he was listening.

Xia Lin's next words immediately made Wang Dao spit out his tea.

"I have come to deliver a child."

Ping Cai'er's face flushed red instantly, while Wang Dao's face turned from pale to white!

Amidst the pervasive killing intent, and seeing that Wang Dao was about to disregard the Xuan Tian Sect and kill this reckless fellow, Xia Lin suddenly spoke up.

"Please don't be in a hurry, gentlemen. It's not as sordid as you think. I simply possess a skill."

She then proactively mentioned the effect of being pregnant with a heavenly soldier.

"Here it is. Whether you two want this skill or not is entirely up to you. I really have no other purpose."

Xia Lin spoke sincerely, and he also had the favorability rating from the Five Elements Wheel.

This did indeed quell Wang Dao's anger for a moment.

His eyes shone with divine light, and he saw the full effect of the skill that granted him the Six Armor Heavenly Soldiers. This made Wang Dao turn around and look at his wife, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.

After a moment, Wang Daocai spoke up: "Nephew Xia Lin, please rest here for a couple of days. This matter is of great importance, and I need to discuss it in detail with my wife."

Xia Lin immediately clasped his hands in a respectful salute and said.

"It's impossible."

……

It is difficult for a single novel to fully describe all the people and things in an entire world.

The Watchtower is a force that does not appear in the novels of gods, immortals, and heroes, and Wang Dao and Ping Cai'er are characters who do not appear in the books.

But Xia Lin... or rather, the clown, found it.

After acquiring the Heavenly Soldiers with Six Armors, Xia Lin approached the matter from two directions.

First, they devised a plan to target Lin Fan—this was a collaboration between Xing Fanwu and Xia Lin.

Another approach is to find powerful natives of this Ash region who have no offspring but have a need for offspring.

Actually, it's easy to find.

Cultivating immortality can increase racial stats, causing cultivators to gradually become inhuman.

The more powerful a cultivator is, the harder it is to leave offspring. In fact, the difficulty of having children after becoming an immortal is comparable to breaking through a cultivation level!
Wang Dao and Ping Cai'er had a smooth and successful life, and could be described as a divine couple. However, they were troubled by the fact that they had no children, which was a great pity.

With their Golden Immortal cultivation levels, the two were well aware of the Black Star Devouring Realm.

As for the tenth-level Golden Immortals, they're neither high enough nor low enough... They're not really needed to resist Black Star, but if Black Star succeeds in devouring the world, they'll still die.

Feeling powerless, and given my naturally laid-back nature, with no hope of breaking through, I could only find something else to do.

For example, raising children fulfills a parent's dream...

As a sect of immortals, the Watchtower has many disciples, all of whom are orphans adopted by the couple.

They seem to be fulfilling their own vision in this way, but it can also be considered a good deed.

Xia Lin has come to visit, bringing with him a celestial soldier who is pregnant with six children.

"My lord, this is something we absolutely must not miss."

Back in the quiet room, Ping Cai'er looked at Wang Dao and said this.

Wang Dao, however, found himself in a dilemma...

If a wife gets pregnant by someone else's "skills," then whose child is it?
Wang Dao didn't know, nor could he think too deeply about it, after all, his wife's strength was no less than his, and the affection between the two was also deep.

Xia Lin could guess these considerations, but he was too lazy to think about them in depth.

Sitting in the guest room, I thought of the four words "Charming Demon Sect".

Wang Dao and Ping Cai'er were the first choice. If they disagreed, there was another option—the Charming Maiden Demon Sect, one of the two major demonic sects.

Anyway, using his possession of the Six Armor Heavenly Soldiers to gather reinforcements and create momentum for himself is one of Xia Lin's key plans for the future.

As for whether things escalate and might provoke a reaction from the Wang family, thus allowing Lin Xiantian to benefit from the situation...

Please, having a baby is such a private matter, why publicize it so openly?
Just then, the communicator rang, and Xing Fanwu's voice came through.

"The battle in Yuanxing Town is over... NO.259 and Xu Haonan are indeed coming for us."

Instead of panicking, Xia Lin clapped his hands.

"Well done!"

The purpose of semi-intentionally revealing one's identity is precisely this.

Luring the enemy in, then continuing to put them through the wringer!
Xia Lin said, "I have plenty of tough stuff to do. Come and enjoy yourself."
