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

Since that battle, Abandoned Star Island has entered a period of extremely stable development.

With a late-stage Profound Light Realm Dominator presiding over it, coupled with a terrifying defensive array powerful enough to intimidate the entire Canglan Realm, no force dared to provoke it. The black market trade routes on the island expanded exponentially, with the daily flow of resources reaching an astonishing astronomical figure.

However, beneath the surface of calm, a fierce undercurrent was brewing within the palace. Four top men were secretly vying for even a sliver of Jiang Yining's attention, engaging in a brutal struggle that escalated to the point of physical violence.

At the heart of all this competition lies the steadily growing Qibao within Jiang Yining's womb.

Inside the Extreme Yin Nourishing Array deep within the Xuan Yin Palace.

Jiang Yining sat cross-legged, a faint purple-gold light emanating from her abdomen. Connected to the towering, sun-obscuring Divine Tree within her body, Qibao was like a bottomless black hole, greedily and steadily absorbing the continuous flow of Law Qi from the outside world.

Gu Qinghan's Haotian Pure Yang Sword Intent that severed cause and effect, Yu Luofeng's Half-Saint Extreme Yin Ghost Qi that corroded all things, Su Chenzhou's ingeniously precise Starfire Array Pattern Law, plus the trace of Heavenly Monarch Realm True Dragon Origin that Ao Lin desperately squeezed out.

The four powerful beings, each possessing a distinct aura of supreme law, were perfectly integrated into the unborn child under the harmonizing influence of the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree. Qi Bao's foundation was surging at a rate defying the laws of nature, becoming increasingly terrifying.

"If the child in the mistress's womb is born, it will probably attract a heavenly tribulation." The puppet Mo Xie, responsible for guarding the formation, had a red light flashing in its eyes as it calculated the extremely terrifying energy data.

Outside the main hall of the palace, the men's infighting had reached an appalling level.

Ao Lin stood humbly at the palace entrance, holding an exquisitely crafted sandalwood box in his hands. This was an ancient hairpin he had secretly obtained through black market trading with the money he had painstakingly saved up while mining in the deep mines, day and night.

The hair ornament is inlaid with a ten-thousand-year-old sea pearl, which is radiant and priceless.

"Ning'er..." Ao Lin took a cautious half-step forward, his eyes full of flattery and expectation, "This hair ornament suits your temperament best."

Before Jiang Yining could even reach out, an extremely indifferent white figure blocked her way.

"This piece of junk, covered in mud and reeking of fish, is it even worthy of being shown up in front of Ning'er?"

Gu Qinghan, dressed in white, had an undisguised contempt in his eyes. With a slight flick of his long, slender fingers, a white jade elixir bottle exuding a rich aura of immortality appeared directly in his palm.

"Snap." The cork popped open.

A strange, exotic fragrance, enough to drive all the female cultivators in the Canglan Realm mad, instantly filled the hall.

"This is a Nine-Turn Supreme Youth-Preserving Pill. It was refined using the highest authority of the Pill Tower, drawing upon the essence of a 100,000-year-old medicinal king. It can preserve youth forever and make one immune to all magic." Gu Qinghan casually handed the pill to Jiang Yining, without even glancing at Ao Lin's hand, which was frozen in mid-air.

The maids serving in the main hall gasped, covering their mouths in shock.

"A ninth-grade top-tier item! This is a legendary treasure that could buy a medium-sized city! And the Sword Master just casually took it out!"

The ancient hairpin that Ao Lin held, which was originally quite precious, was instantly overshadowed by the terrifying value of this Nine-Turn Top-Grade Youth-Preserving Pill, and was mercilessly outshone.

Ao Lin was so angry that he trembled all over and his eyes turned red, but he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

But the war did not end there.

"Is a broken pill really worth making such a fuss about?"

Yu Luofeng's chilling voice echoed from the dome of the main hall. He descended as a wisp of extremely yin ghostly energy, his pale fingers slamming a jet-black ghost tiger talisman, inscribed with the laws of a semi-saint, directly onto the table.

"Ning'er, this is the absolute military seal of the three million elite ghost troops of the Nine Nether Abyss. With just one word from you, I will wipe out any sect you dislike at any time." Yu Luofeng's scarlet eyes flashed with a morbid fanaticism.

"Military deterrence is important, but the operation of Abandoned Star Island requires a more substantial foundation."

Su Chenzhou emerged from the shadows like a ghost, expressionless, and pushed a thick stack of gold-embossed contracts and deeds in front of Jiang Yining: "These are the permanent mining rights to seventy-two top-grade star crystal veins in the Eastern Region of the Canglan Realm. I have transferred them all to the Madam's name."

The male protagonists are completely blinded by greed and engage in a fierce infighting for favor! They offer up their most valuable and secret treasures without hesitation, like a flowing stream.

Jiang Yining, on the other hand, sat comfortably in her high position, enjoying the fruits of her labor.

Late at night, inside the imperial palace.

The calming incense from the brazier rose gently. Jiang Yining leaned lazily against the white jade couch, her purple-gold robe draped loosely over her body.

Gu Qinghan knelt on the edge of the soft couch, his sword-wielding hands, powerful enough to cleave galaxies, now gently and skillfully massaging her calves, sore from pregnancy. Pure Yang energy transformed into a comforting warmth, relieving the fatigue in her meridians.

On the other side of the soft couch, Yu Luofeng's deathly pale face wore an extremely gentle smile. His long, slender, icy fingers carefully peeled open the skin of a 100,000-year-old Sea Soul Spirit Fruit, and patiently fed the crystal-clear flesh into Jiang Yining's mouth.

Under the influence of two supreme auras, Jiang Yining's collar opened slightly, revealing a stunningly beautiful collarbone. Due to the effects of the spiritual fruit, a rare flush appeared on her usually aloof and pale face, and her breathing became slightly rapid.

This extremely beautiful scene is enough to drive even the most stoic old monster to madness.

Beneath this tranquil facade, the underground arms factory on Abandoned Star Island is undergoing an unprecedented and frenzied expansion.

The continuous influx of resources from the demon realm's trade routes, coupled with the four male protagonists' frantic competition for favor and their unreserved dumping of resources, led to an explosive surge in the arsenal reserves of Abandoned Star Island.

Five thousand star-energy heavy artillery production lines roared day and night, and tens of millions of top-grade star cores were neatly stacked in the underground folding space. This terrifying accumulation of resources rapidly brought the arsenal of Abandoned Star Island to a terrifying level that was enough to overturn the entire Canglan Realm.

The data in Mo Xie's mechanical eyes jumped wildly; this reserve was enough to blast half of the Canglan Realm to the ground!

However, the protagonists' infighting eventually escalated into physical conflict.

The next morning.

Jiang Yining sat on the throne in the main hall, holding a cup of spiritual tea, and coldly looked at the four men standing below the steps.

Gu Qinghan's spotless white robes were torn in several places, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth; Yu Luofeng's proud long hair was half burned off, and his semi-saintly ghostly aura was extremely weak; Ao Lin's eye had become a panda eye, and his nose was swollen high; even Su Chenzhou, who always hid in the shadows and plotted, had his black robe torn into strips.

The four men, bruised and battered from their fierce fight and completely drained of their spiritual energy, were now bowing their heads in extreme guilt, none of them daring to speak.

Jiang Yining slammed the teacup down on the table, making a crisp sound. She looked at the four top experts before her, her eyes showing no pity whatsoever.

She raised her jade-like finger slightly and unceremoniously assigned these four top bigwigs to clean the newly captured warships in the outer harbor.
