Battle Through the Heavens: Starting with Cao Ying as an apprentice

What surprised him even more was that there were several sets of unique defensive and concealment array scrolls of the Spirit Clan, as well as some extremely rare cultivation resources specializing in the Spirit Clan.

"Miss!" Lingxi's face turned deathly pale when she saw the storage ring. She tried to stop it, but Ling Yuhan's sharp gaze silenced her.

"Don't worry about it, I know what I'm doing!" Ling Yuhan said in a low voice, but her eyes were fixed on Su Baichen's expression.

Su Baichen withdrew his divine sense and looked at the woman in front of him. To be able to so decisively offer up his last hope, his courage was truly extraordinary.

"Sir, how is it?"

Su Baichen pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the two of them, before finally nodding: "Okay."

Without saying much, he simply rolled up his sleeves and led the two women into the spatial passage. Half a day later, they appeared inside the Pill Tower.

"From now on, you will live here." Su Baichen looked at the two women.

"I will have someone arrange rooms for you."

After saying that, he summoned Qinglin, gave her a few brief instructions, and then handed the two of them over to her.

Qinglin led the two women to an extremely secluded and quiet courtyard. After arranging their accommodations, he turned and left without expression.

Once Qinglin's figure had completely disappeared, Lingxi could no longer hold back. She grabbed Lingyuhan's arm, almost jumping up and down in her anxiety: "Miss! How could you give that storage ring to someone else! That was the only keepsake your mother left behind!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuhan's eyes instantly dimmed, as if her deepest wound had been touched. She sighed deeply, sat wearily on the stone bench, and rubbed her throbbing temples.

"What should we do if they don't give it to us?"

Her voice was hoarse as she said, "The Soul Clan has countless henchmen. Who knows if there were any ambushes around at the time? If we did that, how many days could we survive? If we were captured and taken back, our fate would probably be worse than death."

Lingxi was taken aback for a moment, then retorted, "But we've already broken through the blockade! We can send messages to other imperial clans for help!"

"Send a message?" Ling Yuhan gave a bitter smile, her eyes filled with desolation.

"Xiao Xi, you're oversimplifying things."

She stood up, looked at the sky beyond the courtyard wall, and murmured, "Even if the distress call is successful and reinforcements arrive, then what?"

"If they come, will we be able to fight against the Soul Clan? Don't forget, we carry the bloodline of the Spirit Clan's Dou Di. Once exposed, it might not just be the Soul Clan that comes, but also other forces that are eyeing us covetously."

"At that time, we will be a piece of fat meat, and everyone will want to take a bite and squeeze out our last bit of value."

Ling Yuhan turned her head and looked intently at Ling Xi.

"Instead of doing that, let's take a gamble."

"I'm betting that this Mr. Su isn't a bad person, and I'm betting that he can give us a way out. At least here, the Soul Clan won't dare to set foot here easily."

"This is the best situation I can imagine."

Lingxi stared blankly at her young mistress, at the almost desperate yet resolute look in her eyes, and finally lowered her head in despair, nodding resignedly: "I understand, young mistress."

Ling Yuhan nodded and instructed, "From now on, we should keep a low profile and work hard in our cultivation. If we can get close to Mr. Su, we may be able to rebuild the Spirit Clan."

Outside the door, Qinglin hadn't gone far. She had only wanted to check if the two new guests were behaving themselves, but she had overheard their conversation.

She listened expressionlessly, a fleeting, almost imperceptible glint in her eyes, before turning and quietly leaving without lingering.

Chapter 358 Liu Muxi gave birth! The White Dust Realm is established!

Time flies, and before they knew it, it was time for Liu Muxi to give birth.

On this day, the usually quiet and elegant Danta Villa was enveloped in an atmosphere that was both tense and warm.

Inside the room, the midwife had already been dismissed by the experienced Cai Lin.

The three women, who stood among the strongest on the continent, were busy in an orderly manner—Xuan Yi sat calmly in charge, controlling the overall situation; Cao Ying, the alchemy master, had prepared all kinds of life-saving pills and was ready to serve at any time; while Cai Lin was gently comforting Liu Muxi's emotions.

Outside, the anxious figure pacing back and forth was not alone.

"Why isn't it better yet? Why isn't it better yet!" Su Baichen paced back and forth in front of the door like an ant on a hot pan. Listening to the faint groans of pain coming from inside the house, his heart, which had been calm even when facing the Soul Clan, was now beating like a drum.

[I was in the Douluo Continent when the last Rainbow Scales were producing, so I missed it, but I finally made it this time!]

This is the first time in my two lifetimes combined that I've experienced such a mix of ecstasy and trepidation!

Beside him, Su Ling'er also looked extremely anxious, her little face scrunched up: "Yeah, Mother is so capable and experienced, how come she still hasn't figured it out!"

Time slipped away second by second in agony, each breath seemingly stretched out infinitely.

Suddenly—"Waaaah—!"

A loud, clear cry of a newborn baby, like the first bell of dawn, pierced the heavy air and announced the arrival of a new life.

"It's born! It's born! Mother and baby are safe!" Cai Lin's cheerful laughter came from inside the house.

Immediately following, Cao Ying excitedly shouted, "It's a boy! Master, it's a big, chubby boy!"

With a "whoosh," the door was suddenly pushed open, and Su Baichen and Su Ling'er rushed in almost side by side. Their speed was so fast that even the maids next to them were stunned.

Cao Ying, holding the swaddled baby, stepped forward, her face beaming with joy: "Master, look, it's a boy!"

However, something truly unexpected happened.

Su Baichen merely glanced at the bright red little guy, and without even stopping, rushed to the bedside.

At this moment, Liu Muxi had fallen into a deep sleep due to exhaustion, her face as pale as paper, and her forehead covered with beads of sweat.

"Mu Xi!"

Su Baichen's heart trembled. He could no longer care about his newborn son. He quickly bent down and began to circulate the Heavenly Book technique without hesitation. A vast yet gentle battle qi surged from his palm and flowed continuously into Liu Muxi's body, nourishing her depleted life essence.

The room fell silent instantly.

The women looked at each other, all with blank expressions, as if asking, "Who am I? Where am I?"

[The script is wrong!]

[Shouldn't the usual routine be to excitedly take the child first, and then go see the wife?]

[He just glanced at it and then ignored it, only caring about his wife.]

Is this really his own son?! This preferential treatment is too obvious!

In stark contrast to Su Baichen's "favoring his wife over his children," Su Ling'er's attention was completely focused on her younger brother.

Her eyes shone brightly as she stared intently at the baby in Cao Ying's arms, her gaze burning as if she had seen some priceless treasure, her whole being radiant.

"Sister Cao Ying, let me hug you! Let me hug my little brother!" Su Ling'er eagerly reached out her hands, as if afraid that the child would disappear if she was a second late.

Holding the child, Cao Ying glanced at her master, who seemed oblivious, and then at Su Ling'er, who looked as if she wanted to devour the child. She was completely bewildered.

Holy crap, whose biological child is this?!

[I feel like Ling'er's eagerness to try makes her seem more like a father than her own father!]

Despite having countless complaints in her mind, Cao Ying still carefully handed the child over.

Upon receiving the child, Su Ling'er's eyes practically lit up with golden light. She lovingly stroked the baby's delicate face as if holding the world's most precious treasure.

Wow! This is my younger brother!

[So cute! Finally, someone is younger than me! I'm no longer the youngest in the family!]

Little brother, grow up well, and when you grow up, your big sister will love you dearly!

That possessive gaze sent a chill down Zi Yan's spine. She stared intently at Su Ling'er, a strange coldness rising within her.

Something's wrong, something's very wrong!

[That's not the look a sister gives her brother; it's the look she gives her new toy!]

【Pah! Ziyan, what are you thinking? Ling'er isn't that kind of person!】

Nourished by Su Baichen's pure battle qi, Liu Muxi's long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes, asking weakly, "Husband...where is the child? How is our child?"

While tucking the blanket around her, Su Baichen pointed at Su Ling'er without turning his head and said, "That little brat is being held by his sister and is having a great time."

"Husband, how can you say that? He's our child." Liu Muxi glared at him reproachfully, her eyes filled with maternal love despite her weakness.

"Who told him to mess with you and make you faint? I feel bad if I don't say something to him." Su Baichen pouted and then waved to Su Ling'er.

"Ling'er, throw your brother over here so his mother can see him."

Upon hearing this, all the women in the room coughed, and even Cai Lin almost choked on her saliva.

[My biological father? Is this really my biological father?]

[That tone sounds like he's about to throw something at me!]

Liu Muxi couldn't help but chuckle, knowing that this guy was just pretending to be nervous again. She gently punched Su Baichen's chest a few times and said softly, "Why are you throwing things? It sounds awful. Ling'er, come here and let me see."

"Oh..." Su Ling'er reluctantly moved her feet and finally handed the child over.

When Liu Muxi touched the baby's warm skin, the tenderness in her eyes almost overflowed: "So cute, just like a miniature version of my husband."

“Since he looks like me, let’s call him Su Mu.” Su Baichen leaned closer, his gaze sweeping over his wife and child, a smile playing on his lips.

"Mu as in Mu Xi".

Liu Muxi's eyes reddened slightly, and she nodded gently: "Okay."

The birth of Su Mu is not only a joyous occasion for the Su family, but also a reassurance for the entire Pill Tower and all the forces under Su Baichen's command.

Having an heir means that this vast foundation has been passed down and is no longer adrift and rootless.

To celebrate this grand event, Su Baichen waved his hand and distributed the mountain of pills piled up in the warehouse. Everyone, from the core elders to the outer disciples, received a share. In an instant, cheers erupted, and the entire Pill Tower was immersed in an auspicious atmosphere.

After the lively full moon banquet, Su Baichen did not linger in the bustling Central Plains.

He left Dan Tower with his family and a group of core members of his forces. After all, this place wasn't really his home. Now that he had a son, it was time to create his own little world.

Su Baichen arrived in the void and, relying on his powerful strength, tore through space, personally creating a brand new small world.

This world was created by Su Baichen using his own Daoist essence. Mountains and rivers were born at his command, and the spiritual energy was so rich that it was almost liquid. The sun, moon, and stars all flowed according to his will.

Su Baichen named it Baichen Realm.

Chapter 359 The Birth of the Demonic Flame; All Sides Stir!

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The entire White Dust Realm is operating flawlessly, and its overall strength is slowly increasing.

On this day, in the northwest of Zhongzhou, a strange change suddenly occurred on a once peaceful continent, and space began to distort without warning.
