Chapter 457: This Time, Let’s See Where You Can Escape

“Ah~ Ah~”

Luo Yilin let out a cry of pain.

The extraction of her essence brought a suffering that pierced her soul.

Seeing her mother in such agony, Luo Qinqin immediately came to a stop.

“Continue, do not stop,” Li Xiaojun urged.

“Qinqin, keep going. Don’t stop just because I’m in pain,” Luo Yilin gritted her teeth and scolded her daughter.

Hearing her mother’s words, Luo Qinqin gritted her teeth and continued to operate the Swallowing Heaven Technique.

As soon as she even thought about stopping, Luo Yilin would sharply reprimand her.

Time flew by, and a year passed.

Through the continuous absorption of her mother Luo Yilin’s innate essence, Luo Qinqin’s spirit root talent reached the level of upper innate divine demon roots.

She finally stopped because the upper innate divine demon roots represented the limit of the Swallowing Heaven Technique.

As for advancing to the superior chaotic divine demon roots, which could break through to the Da Luo Golden Immortal without any bottlenecks, that could not be achieved merely by absorbing someone else’s essence.

Originally, when Luo Qinqin broke through to upper acquired divine demons, Li Xiaojun intended to end the process; it had only been a month at that time.

However, after Luo Yilin learned that it was possible to break through to upper innate divine demon roots, she pleaded with Li Xiaojun to grant her daughter more talent.

After Luo Yilin repeatedly expressed her willingness to endure the pain of having her essence absorbed, Li Xiaojun eventually agreed to let Luo Qinqin continue.

After another year, Luo Qinqin finally achieved upper innate divine demon roots. Only after she could no longer absorb her mother’s talent to strengthen herself did Li Xiaojun let the mother and daughter come to a stop.

“Alright, I’m leaving. If you need anything, just message me.”

Once he finished this, Li Xiaojun made no delay and simply vanished.

Li Xiaojun chose to go to the star system where another daughter was located.

Now, most of his children were practicing in the secret realm.

Only a few remained in their own star systems.

But a few did exist.

Li Xiaojun suddenly appeared next to a woman.

In the next moment, an extremely sharp attack surged toward him.

However, what seemed like a fierce attack was effortlessly dispelled with a wave of Li Xiaojun’s hand.

Duanmu Yun was greatly astonished.

Just moments ago, she sensed someone suddenly appearing beside her, so she launched a full-force attack without hesitation.

But she never expected that her all-out strike would vanish into thin air with just a wave from the other party.

“You are Li Xiaojun?” Duanmu Yun quickly inquired.

In an instant, she realized who stood before her.

Being able to appear silently beside her and effortlessly neutralize her early-stage Earth Immortal’s full power attack was no ordinary feat.

In such a situation, even a powerhouse in the Heavenly Immortal realm would not handle it so lightly.

And in the lower realm where she was, there were no other immortals besides her.

So, at that moment, Duanmu Yun thought of the person in the close-knit family group.

From the group chat, she had learned a lot of information.

She realized that she was very likely the daughter of the group owner.

The person who could appear silently beside her must be Li Xiaojun, the group owner.

“It’s me.”

Li Xiaojun nodded. He didn’t mind that this daughter called him by his name.

After all, he hadn’t fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.

Seeing Li Xiaojun nod in acknowledgment, Duanmu Yun fell silent.

After a moment, she asked Li Xiaojun, “Why are you here?”

“I have something to do. I plan to transform five hundred life planets here, so I need your cooperation,” Li Xiaojun explained to Duanmu Yun.

Hearing Li Xiaojun’s explanation, Duanmu Yun nodded and asked, “I can cooperate, but what’s in it for me?”

Upon hearing her response, Li Xiaojun frowned.

He replied, “I will give you the transformed life planets; isn’t that enough?”

Duanmu Yun shook her head. “What do I need so many life planets for?”

“Uh!”

Li Xiaojun didn’t know how to respond to Duanmu Yun’s statement.

He quickly opened the system’s Offspring Information to check Duanmu Yun’s details.

Then Li Xiaojun discovered that Duanmu Yun had not inherited any offspring in this world.

So, in this cultivation world, besides Duanmu Yun, Li Xiaojun had no other descendants.

No wonder Duanmu Yun questioned the need for so many life planets.

She was all alone and had no power of her own; what would she do with so many life planets?

Seeing this situation, Li Xiaojun felt like he wanted to go somewhere else.

But as soon as the thought appeared, he dismissed it.

He was not the type to retreat in the face of difficulty.

“Wait for me a moment; I need to find someone to perform Soul Searching.”

Li Xiaojun didn’t continue speaking with Duanmu Yun but quickly left and found a tribulation stage cultivator nearby to perform Soul Searching on.

However, as soon as Li Xiaojun appeared, an awkward situation arose.

He discovered that the tribulation stage female cultivator before him was actually Duanmu Yun’s mother, who had been the main subject he encountered in the secret realm.

As an Immortal, he certainly could not forget who she was.

Inside the cave, Li Xiaojun found himself staring into the eyes of a beautiful woman.

When the woman saw Li Xiaojun, she revealed a smile. "We meet again."

"Cough, cough, yes."

Li Xiaojun felt a bit awkward.

The woman before him was Duanmu Yun’s mother, Duanmu Rong.

Unlike Luo Yilin’s mother, who was forced to commit suicide by the sect after returning, Duanmu Rong was a tough person.

Originally, Duanmu Rong was the holy maiden of the Blood Moon Devil Sect. After Li Xiaojun violated her, she discovered that her cultivation speed had increased a hundred times during her pregnancy.

So for the next hundred years, she controlled herself not to give birth and hid in the secret realm to cultivate.

Only when she could no longer control it and continuing to do so would harm the child did she finally give birth.

However, in that short hundred years, she went from the Divine Transformation stage to the peak of the Tribulation stage due to her hundred times cultivation speed.

When she finally returned to reality from the secret realm, the sect’s holy son learned that she had a child with someone else and immediately went into a rage, attacking Duanmu Rong.

However, by that time, Duanmu Rong had reached the peak of the Tribulation stage as a great emperor and effortlessly eliminated the holy son.

The holy son was killed by the holy maiden, and then the Master intervened.

However, the Master was only at the peak of the Great Ascension stage, and Duanmu Rong swiftly killed him.

Then the Supreme Elder of the sect, who was in the mid-Tribulation stage, attacked Duanmu Rong.

Upon engaging, the Supreme Elder realized Duanmu Rong’s strength at the peak of the Late Tribulation stage and immediately sought to turn their conflict into peace.

However, Duanmu Rong refused, killing the Supreme Elder and then annihilating the entire Blood Moon Devil Sect.

After that, with Duanmu Rong’s full support, Duanmu Yun grew rapidly.

Furthermore, after destroying the Blood Moon Devil Sect, Duanmu Rong did not establish her own power; the mother and daughter merely occupied the entrance to the secret realm, preventing others from entering.

The secret realm became a place for Duanmu Yun to obtain cultivation resources, allowing her to cultivate to the Earth Immortal realm.

…

"Thousands of years ago, after you violated me, you ran away. This time, let’s see where you can run."

Duanmu Rong smiled as she reached for Li Xiaojun.

Last time, carrying this man’s child had increased her cultivation speed a hundred times, and she had experienced no bottlenecks at all.

So, at the moment she saw the man, Duanmu Rong thought of letting him make her pregnant again.

If she could have a hundred times cultivation speed once more, then this man would be her lifelong partner.
