140: The person who is expected to break the curse

The Time Spiritual Root and Space Spiritual Root, among the twelve attribute Spiritual Roots, were a secret for Long Aotian, but not a secret that absolutely couldn't be told.

At least, no one knew what effect these special Spiritual Roots, the Time Spiritual Root and Space Spiritual Root, which are rarely seen in billions of years, actually had. People only guessed from their names that they might be related to time and space.

By revealing his Time Spiritual Root, Long Aotian skillfully concealed the Nine Treasures Glazed Chaos World Tower.

Even if Ao Jingtain knew about the existence of the Nine Treasures Glazed Chaos World Tower through Ao Zhan, she couldn't possibly know its wondrous uses, because even Ao Zhan didn't know what the Nine Treasures Glazed Chaos World Tower was or what its purpose was. If it was passed down by Ao Zhan, how could Ao Jingtain possibly know?

Ultimately, Long Aotian still did not share the secret of the Nine Treasures Glazed Chaos World Tower with Ao Jingtain.

This also meant that Long Aotian had, for now, restrained the thought and impulse of making Ao Jingtain his woman.

Ao Jingtain was, after all, his Revered Master's daughter and his Senior Sister. To take his Revered Master's daughter after his Revered Master's death, Long Aotian always felt a bit awkward and as if he was letting his Revered Master down.

His feelings for Ao Jingtain were complex; he seemed to have all sorts of emotions. However, with Feng Zixian as his main wife, Long Aotian also had to consider her.

To take a concubine before even formally marrying his main wife, what kind of propriety was that?

How could Feng Zixian bear it?

Long Aotian might not fear gossip and might have thick skin, but he still had to consider his own character.

In his heart, at least for now, when facing his deceased Revered Master and his un-wedded main wife, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Not to mention, how old was he now? Although his Physical Body had grown strong, in terms of age, he was still just a child; there was no rush... The news Long Aotian announced undoubtedly shocked the entire Dragon Peak, including everyone from Ao Jingtain to Hua Buqi.

“I never imagined that my Beloved Grandson's other two attribute Spiritual Roots would be the unheard-of Time Spiritual Root and Space Spiritual Root. They sound very grand; truly worthy of being my Long Wudi's Beloved Grandson, the Qilin Child of our Dragon Clan.

My Beloved Grandson's Martial Arts Talent, my Beloved Grandson's future, it's truly unimaginable...”

In the Cultivation Immortal Cave, Long Wudi couldn't help but exclaim with joy and surprise. Although his name was Long Wudi, he was not truly invincible. But his Beloved Grandson, Long Aotian, was truly very arrogant (Aotian).

His Beloved Grandson was the pride of their Dragon Clan!

If there was anyone on Dragon Peak who felt the happiest, it was undoubtedly Long Aotian's parents, Long Bubai and Hua Buwan. They were both Cultivating in a large Cultivation Immortal Cave.

“Tian'er's last two attribute Spiritual Roots, out of the twelve, are actually the Time Spiritual Root and Space Spiritual Root. It's simply unheard of.

I truly don't know how Heaven-Defying Tian'er's Martial Arts Talent actually is.

But now, as a mother, I at least no longer have to feel sad and worried about his talent being too poor to Cultivate... He has grown up now and become the pillar of the Dragon Clan. Even the Hua Family relies on him, and no one in the Cloud Palace dares to disrespect him.”

As she spoke, Hua Buwan shed tears, but her heart also swelled with pride.

This was her, Hua Buwan's, biological son!

Long Bubai stepped forward and embraced Hua Buwan, gently stroking his beloved's back and hair, his happy smile also hard to conceal: “This brat, no wonder he was able to Breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm in such a short time. It turns out it's because he possesses the Time Spiritual Root, which allows him to cheat on Cultivation time and assist in Cultivation.

This Spiritual Root is truly Heaven-Defying!”

“What's wrong? Feeling a bit down because Tian'er surpassed you in Cultivation?”

...How could I? My wife is overthinking. I'd rather our son be as powerful as possible, so we don't have to worry about his safety.

A Prodigy who hasn't grown up isn't called a Prodigy; they're called stillborn.

Our Tian'er must never be stillborn.

Therefore, no matter how powerful he becomes, it's not excessive. The more powerful he is, the happier and more at ease I, as a father, feel.”

“Hmm, but you, as a father, can't be lazy. You are one of Feng Town's peerless duo, but in recent years, how much have you fallen behind Feng Keqiang?

Although Tian'er has now brought us all to Dragon Peak, and we have a better Cultivation environment, Cultivation resources, and faster Cultivation Techniques, Feng Keqiang went to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace. The Nine Heavens Immortal Palace is a State-Level Giant Cultivation Faction in the Western Continent, and he might not lack better Cultivation resources and Cultivation Techniques.

If my husband doesn't work hard, he might not truly be able to catch up to Feng Keqiang.

Our son said that in a few years, when that girl Zixian comes of age, he will make a trip to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace. You can't truly let our son go to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace alone, can you?”

...Wife, during this major closed-door Cultivation, your husband will definitely strive to Breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm!

Long Bubai was a bit flustered by what his wife said, especially when she mentioned that in a few years, their son would go to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace and might get married to their daughter-in-law there. If his strength as a father-in-law was too weak, he feared he would be looked down upon.

He was immensely proud that his son was a Prodigy, but he also couldn't hold his son back too much. Of course, although his son had never disliked him for holding him back, his proud self wouldn't allow himself to become a burden to his son.

“That's good!”

Hua Buwan smiled slightly: “Tian'er said he hopes the Dragon Clan can produce a few Mahayana Realm powerhouses before the Cloud Palace's Centennial Grand Competition. Tian'er clearly included you, his grandfather, and his Great-Grandfather. Perhaps even I, his mother, am included. We mustn't disappoint Tian'er!”

The best Martial Arts Talent among the older generation of the Dragon Clan were the grandfather and grandsons, Long Shijie, Long Wudi, and Long Bubai, in addition to Hua Buwan.

Hua Buwan's Martial Arts Talent was also extremely Heaven-Defying. Her Cultivation Realm once surpassed Long Bubai's, and she even Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm earlier than Long Bubai. Although Long Bubai's Cultivation Realm has now caught up to hers, he hasn't surpassed her by much.

Sometimes, Hua Buwan couldn't help but sigh inwardly that the Dragon Clan's genes were truly powerful, especially the genes of the Dragon Clan's direct lineage. From Dragon War God, to Long Shijie, to Long Wudi, and then to Long Bubai, all of them possessed pure gold attribute combat-type Spiritual Roots.

By her son's generation, although the Dragon Clan's direct lineage Spiritual Root had mutated, it was clear that this mutation had made the Dragon Clan's direct lineage Spiritual Root even more terrifying. Hua Buwan didn't know how Heaven-Defying her grandson's Martial Arts Talent would be in the future.

Because of this anticipation, her concern for her son's marriage to Feng Zixian became immense. The Dragon Clan's direct lineage had been single-line descendants for several generations. She didn't know what the situation would be like for her son's generation. After her son got married, she, as a mother, would have to make sure her son and daughter-in-law had many children to break this subtly formed curse of the Dragon Clan's direct lineage being single-line descendants... Long Aotian didn't know that his mother was already planning how to urge them to have children, even before he was married.

In fact, after Hua Buwan and Long Bubai got married, they were also urged by their elders to have children. But after they gave birth to Long Aotian, for some unknown reason, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't conceive a second child.

Because of this, Hua Buwan and Long Bubai, and even the entire Dragon Clan, felt some regret and disappointment. Now, they could only place their high hopes on Long Aotian, the new generation.

“Wife, before this major closed-door Cultivation, I want to—”

“Hmm!”

Before Long Bubai could even finish speaking, Hua Buwan hummed in affirmation. They were already an old married couple; how could she not understand Long Bubai?

A prolonged, exhilarating, and in-depth exchange thus unfolded in the Cultivation Immortal Cave...
