Many children, many blessings: Stealing the offspring of powerful figures to cultivate immortality.

The gale above the clouds was torn apart by an invisible force.

Ye Wuhen leaned against a pillar in the main hall of the Desolate Abyss, his fingers unconsciously stroking the cold hilt of his sword.

He looked into the void, his voice soft, yet carrying a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Something that hides its head and tail."

Situ Kong clutched several tortoise shells tightly in his hand, not bothering to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Old Ye, this divination... indicates great misfortune."

His face was ashen, and he looked up at Sibao, who was drooling over an abacus in Jiang Yining's arms.

"It's not targeting us, it's targeting the children."

Jiang Yining picked up the conversation.

She was gently patting Sibao's back to help him burp, while her other hand silently pressed on the control center of the main hall.

Deep underground, countless transparent vines, invisible to the naked eye, spread along the spiritual veins, like a giant dream catcher, quietly covering the entire desolate abyss.

"Strengthen security."

Jiang Yining raised her eyes, her gaze as calm as a deep pool of water.

"Whether you're human or ghost, now that you're here, you're not leaving."

……

High above the nine heavens, inside the Void Dharma Boat.

Xingjue withdrew his gaze and gently tapped his fingers on the void light screen.

"Knock knock."

The crisp sound echoed inside the cabin.

"interesting."

He picked up the spirit wine and swirled it around, a hint of arrogant mockery playing on his lips.

"That little ant actually sensed my gaze. The intuition of these lower-level creatures is more acute than I imagined."

The attendant bowed and scraped, saying, "My lord, after all, this is the place that gave birth to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and the Chaos Demon Body. The locals may have some special methods. However, in front of your Spirit Awakening Realm cultivation, it's all a joke."

"Special methods?"

Xingjue chuckled and shook his head.

"You're wrong. This is something the indigenous people could never do."

He stood up, walked to the porthole, and looked down at the city that rose from the ground below.

In his view, that city was simply a huge treasure trove.

The Purple Star Emperor's aura transformed into an illusory golden dragon that coiled around, while the chaotic demonic energy devoured spiritual power like a black hole, along with the iconic pink alluring aura of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

And then there's that silver-haired baby who triggered a backlash from the heavens right after birth...

"This litter could not possibly have been born naturally."

Xingjue's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and his tone was resolute.

"This is clearly a 'breeding farm' set up in the lower realm by some powerful being from the mid-level realm!"

"A...breeding farm?" The servant was taken aback.

"good."

Xingjue thought about it more and more and it seemed more and more reasonable.

"Only those old monsters who cultivate evil arts and need to devour special bloodlines would go to great lengths to search for 'Myriad Spirits' in the lower realm and mass-produce these top-grade furnaces."

His gaze pierced through the clouds and locked onto Jiang Yining.

"That woman is nothing more than a 'caretaker' responsible for reproduction and care."

Xingjue curled her lip in disdain.

How dare someone at the Nascent Soul stage presume to possess such divine bloodlines?

Greed grew wildly in his heart like weeds.

If this really is some old monster's breeding ground, then he is now snatching food from a tiger's mouth.

But... so what?

That old monster is obviously not here.

Fortune favors the bold.

Xingjue crushed the wine glass in his hand, the wine dripping through his fingers.

"As long as I bring these five brats back to the Azure Realm and sell them to the Star Alliance or the Pill Tower, I will instantly have the resources to break through to the 'Profound Light Realm'!"

His voice suddenly turned cold, like the chilling tone of a hunter about to close the net.

"I will personally go down and harvest this batch of... ripe fruit."

……

A desolate abyss, afternoon.

The sun was still shining brightly, but there was a faint, sticky feeling in the air.

That was a sign that the rules of space were being quietly distorted by higher-dimensional forces.

The Qingqiu Grand Elder, who was weeding the spirit field, straightened up and sniffed suspiciously.

As a powerful demon in the Integration Stage, he has an extremely keen sense of danger.

A sweep of divine sense revealed nothing but a gentle breeze and the fragrance of flowers.

"What's wrong?"

Hu Bugui, who was carrying bricks nearby, asked.

"have no idea."

The elder frowned and gripped the hoe in his hand tighter.

"I feel like I'm being covered by something... Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night because I was rushing to empty the little prince's bedpan."

In the garden behind the main hall.

Jiang Yining was inside the house checking the distribution of the array's key points with Situ Kong.

On the lawn in the garden, Sanbao Jiang Yeyao was idly chopping at the weeds, dragging her black magic sword that was taller than a person.

"boring."

Jiang Yeyao sighed in a childish voice.

Ever since she ate Situ Kong's magic weapon last time, her mother has strictly forbidden her from eating anything indiscriminately.

Now, everything looks like boiled vegetables without salt to her, and she has no appetite at all.

"Eeya~"

In the cradle not far away, Wubao Ginger Candy is holding a butterfly, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

Nine large, snow-white tails spread out on the grass like a thick quilt.

There were no adults supervising the two children.

Just now, Ye Wuhen, who was in charge of guarding the child, was drenched in a puddle of urine from Si Bao and went to change his clothes while cursing.

And this is precisely the best time for Xingjue to wait.

The air in the corner of the garden suddenly rippled like water.

There was no fluctuation of spiritual energy, not even a gust of wind.

A figure clad in silver armor with a blue crystal embedded between its brows appeared out of thin air in the flowerbed.

Xingjue looked at the two unsuspecting little children in front of him, his eyes almost overflowing with greed.

Chaotic Demon Body! Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox!

These aren't children, they're clearly two walking mountains of gold!

Xing Jue held a space-binding talisman that emitted starlight in his hand.

"Now you are mine."

He did not immediately attempt to forcibly seize it.

As a professional "border patroller," he knew very well that these children with special constitutions had a certain degree of offensive power. If they were to fight and their foundations were damaged, they would not fetch a good price.

It must be lured in "gently".

Xingjue composed himself and gave what he considered his most amiable smile.

He took out a blue crystal rod that emitted a strong stellar power from his storage ring.

That was "Star Essence Crystal," a specialty of the Canglan Realm, which held a fatal allure for beings in the lower realms.

"kid."

Xingjue crouched down, her voice soft.

"Uncle has some delicious food here, do you want some?"
