Chapter 224: Infant

Southern Xinjiang, the ruins of Piaomiao Immortal Sect.
Wu Tong looked at Nangong Chan, Jiang Li, Zhou Zixuan and others who had just arrived, shook his head and said, "The sect master found some ancient elixirs in a secret cave here, and went into seclusion to prepare for the formation of the fetus. He is not here."
Nangong Chan was stunned for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and asked nervously: "Where is Qin Keren?"
A figure slowly walked out of a palace.
Qin Keren glanced at her.
Nangong Chan felt relieved, as long as they didn't elope together.
Looking at Qin Keren, her eyes were somewhat complicated. After having more memories of the illusion, she didn't know what attitude she should take towards Qin Keren.
After a moment, she looked at Wu Tong and said, "Where is he in seclusion?"
Wu Tong shook his head and said, "The sect master didn't tell me where he is in seclusion. Perhaps you can go to Kunlun to have a look."
This is only a third-level secret realm. Li Yu would definitely not choose this place to retreat and break through to the Nascent Soul stage. He may have returned to Kunlun. But when the women rushed back to Kunlun from southern Xinjiang, they found that Li Yu was neither at Yuxuan Peak nor at Yuxu Peak.
After asking around, I found out that Li Yu had never come back.
Nangong Chan finally couldn't help it and sent a message through her soul, but there was no response.

Jiang Li and Zhou Zixuan took out the spirit conch, but there was no response either.
When the Golden Elixir is impacting the Nascent Soul, an extremely quiet environment is required. The slightest disturbance may lead to the failure of Nascent Soul formation and all previous efforts will be wasted. Therefore, most people will choose a secluded place when condensing the Nascent Soul and completely cut off contact with the outside world.
It seems that he is really in seclusion.
Xu Qingxin and Bai Qingying breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. When Li Yuzhen appeared in front of them, they didn't know what to say.
Nangong Chan threw a punch with all her strength, but it landed on nothing, and she felt extremely upset.
At this time, in Southern Xinjiang, Piaomiao Immortal Sect.
In the mysterious cave, Wu Tong and Li Yu clinked their glasses and said, "Too many women means trouble. Look at me and Lao Chen. We don't have the same troubles as you..."
Li Yu drank the fine wine sent by the demon tribe and did not agree with Wu Tong's words.
Having too many women does cause some trouble.
But we cannot deny long-term happiness because of temporary troubles.
Li Yu recalled his long cultivation career in the illusion. It was because of their existence that the life seemed so colorful. If he had practiced alone, he might not be able to reach the peak of the realm of breaking through the void.
But at present, Li Yu is still in the darkest moment before dawn.
In the illusion, he coaxed the demon girl for two hundred years. Although those two hundred years were extremely difficult, after coaxing her, he lived a happy life for countless years...
In some matters, she was more proactive than herself. Later, she created a set of secret methods for dual cultivation based on their physiques. The prerequisite for practicing this method was that one of the Taoist partners corrected the five elements, while the other reversed the five elements. With the combination of yin and yang, the speed of cultivation could be greatly increased...
It must be said that he really missed that time.
Wu Tong stood in front of the portrait in the stone chamber for a long time, and suddenly remembered something. He walked back and asked Li Yu, "Didn't it say that after the spirit consciousness enters the Mountain and River Map, it will continue to deduce unless it dies in the illusion? How did you get out later?"
Li Yu said simply: "Because I fell..."
Wu Tong was even more curious and asked, "You three have already reached the peak of the Void Breaking Realm, and are only one step away from the Heavenly Being of the Dao Unity Realm. Is there anyone who can be your opponent? Have you encountered a strong enemy at the Heavenly Being Realm?"
Li Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know. I only saw an illusory big hand."
"Big hands?" Wu Tong was slightly stunned and asked, "What kind of big hands?"
Li Yu gave him a brief description. In fact, he didn't know what it was. From the appearance of the big hand to the time when his consciousness left the illusion, it only took a few breaths.
He spoke out the Emei Patriarch's guess: "Perhaps we have stayed in the Mountain and River Map for too long and exhausted the map's power of deduction, so the map's consciousness condensed into that giant hand and forcibly drove our consciousness away."
"It's the simplest thing for the Mountain and River Map to drive away your consciousness. Why bother?" Wu Tong pondered for a moment and said, "Is it possible that the giant hand is also something in the Mountain and River Map's memory? Perhaps the demise of the Piao Miao Immortal Sect is related to it..."
Wu Tong's words reminded Li Yu.
These days, he was preoccupied with other things and hadn't thought about this matter carefully at all.
The giant hand just pressed lightly, and he, who was at the peak of the Void Breaking Realm, had no power to fight back. His body and soul were instantly destroyed. The power of this palm was probably beyond that of a celestial being.
If such a thing really exists, the disappearance of Piaomiao Xianzong may have an explanation.
Perhaps, they did not relocate their entire clan, but were massacred in an instant.
This can also explain why the remains of Piaomiao Xianzong are preserved so completely. Except for all the people who disappeared, everything else has remained intact for tens of thousands of years.
This conjecture can not only explain the reason for the disappearance of Piaomiao Immortal Sect, but also the ancient immortal world inherited by the current immortal world is in the same situation as Piaomiao Immortal Sect. When they were discovered, there was everything in their sect ruins except people.
Li Yu pondered and said, "If the Piaomiao Immortal Sect and the ancient immortal cultivation world were both destroyed by that giant hand, it is possible that the Mountain and River Map is just deducing our future. Perhaps thousands of years later, we will also encounter it..."
Wu Tong shook his head and said, "After I die, I don't care if there is a flood or a world destroyer like this. Even if there is such a world destroyer, by the time he appears, my bones will have turned into stone. He can destroy this broken world or not..."

The life of a mortal is only a few decades, and even the immortal cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage only live for a thousand years. If the time deduced by the Map of Mountains and Rivers is correct, there are still more than three thousand years before the appearance of the big hand.
After more than three thousand years, even for those who have broken through the void since birth, their lifespan is almost coming to an end.
At this moment, all living beings in the Xuantian world will no longer exist after more than three thousand years.
Including the ancestors of Poxu and the powerful gods from all major forces.
Whether this era will be destroyed or not has no direct relationship with them.
If we follow the deduction from the map of mountains and rivers, only Li Yu, Senior Sister Qin and the demon girl have the hope of seeing that day.
Wu Tong looked at Li Yu and said with emotion: "The fact that you can practice in the illusion for so long means that Shanhetu believes that you have the hope of living to that time, and perhaps you can see the truth of the change of eras..."
In the illusion, Li Yu's practice has been extremely smooth.
But in this situation, his cultivation was still vulnerable in front of that giant hand.
In reality, his cultivation speed would have to be even faster, at least he would have to reach the realm of heaven and man before he would be qualified to face that giant hand.
Southern Xinjiang.
Somewhere in a secluded valley.
Five flying swords of different colors blocked the entire valley from five directions and then disappeared into the void.
After setting up the Zhutian Sword Formation, Li Yu found an open space in the valley and sat down on the ground.
With this sword formation, he can be guaranteed not to be disturbed in any way during the process of forming a baby.
I have conceived a baby once in an illusion. Although it was an illusion, when I think back on it now, the feeling is no different from the real thing.
His magic power has been stuck at the level of golden elixir perfection for a long time, and his state of mind is in a dreamland, and he has also reached the requirements for forming a fetus.
Li Yu took out a pill. This pregnancy pill was won from the Immortal Conference. It was a top-grade pill with three dan patterns. He first purified this top-grade pill to the ultimate level and then put it into his mouth.
The pill melted as soon as it entered the mouth, and the medicinal power flowed into the dantian along the five spiritual veins, and then entered the golden elixir with fire attribute.
After the medicinal power of the pregnancy pill entered the body, the speed of the golden pill's rotation suddenly increased.
A wisp of mist surged out from the golden elixir and completely enveloped the golden elixir.
Kunlun Cave.
At Yuxuan Peak, Nangong Chan sat in front of the dressing table, resting her chin on her hand, staring at herself in the mirror in a daze.
There has been no news from Li Yu for three months. During these three months, she has not been able to eat her favorite dishes, and no one has done her makeup. She has long been accustomed to Li Yu being around, and every day feels like a year.
If it weren't for the soul perception between the two of them, she would have thought that something had happened to Li Yu.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be so slow for him to form a baby.
With a state of mind that can break through the void and elixirs that can break through the state, one month is enough to form a five-element Nascent Soul.
But he disappeared for three months.
Nangong Chan suspected that Li Yu was deliberately avoiding them.
He must have known that she would cause trouble for him after returning from Emei, so he used the excuse of seclusion and refused to see anyone.
At the beginning, she was indeed very angry, but after calming down for three months, her anger had basically subsided.
The things that happened in the illusion cannot be blamed entirely on Li Yu.
After all, in the illusion, it was not me who sent him to Baiyun Temple, and he and I met after Qin Keren. There was no reason for him to choose the evil witch he had just met and give up his senior sister from the same sect when he encountered danger.
If you want to blame someone, blame Qin Keren.
In her world, she must hope that Li Yu would save her. She lost to him in reality, so she wanted to win him back in the fantasy world.
But she really couldn't hate Qin Keren.
After nearly four thousand years of living together, no matter what kind of grudges they had, they were all erased in the long river of time. What's more, there was no deep hatred between her and Qin Keren. There was only a secret contest between geniuses.
In the illusion, they also fought for thousands of years, but there was still no winner.
Thousands of years later, all the people she knew at this moment would leave her. The only ones who could stay with her forever, besides Li Yu, was Qin Keren. In the illusion, the two were no longer rivals, but friends, and the closest friends...
The intimacy was beyond her imagination.
Qin Keren must have that memory as well. The sharp contrast between reality and fantasy makes each time they meet, it seems extremely awkward.
