Chapter 1025. Lyra (Person Name) Is Pregnant

After bidding farewell to the Lord of Hidden Night, Eldrin soon returned to Green Abyss Island.

Now that he had the immortal mountain as his sanctuary and had sent Emperor Jiang into the cycle of reincarnation, the trivial matters could finally be set aside for the time being.

In the days that followed, the suffocating pressure from the mortal realm's demon gods had vanished, and the urgency to attain immortality and enlightenment had dissipated. He finally settled into a rare and precious tranquility.

Thus, Eldrin found a rare moment of peace to wholeheartedly explore the path that lay before him.

Since attaining immortality, Eldrin had yet to form a sufficiently clear vision of his path of cultivation.

Now that he finally had some peace, he devoted himself to secluded cultivation in the mountains. In his leisure time, he would either play the qin by the inner lake of the island or contemplate the Dao by the vast sea, as if rediscovering the mindset of his youth.

In those years when he cultivated in solitude at Spirit Lake Isle, he would often drift upon the lake strumming his zither—that serene elegance had been absent from his life for countless years.

To Eldrin's (Person Name) astonishment, he discovered that by setting aside his mental burdens and immersing himself in secluded cultivation, he had seemingly broken some invisible shackles in the obscure workings of fate, rendering his spirit more pristine.

This unexpectedly accelerated his cultivation speed, and before he knew it, he had advanced his Primordial Chaos Immortal Art to the middle stage of the Ascension Realm.

"It seems that quiet cultivation is actually more conducive to comprehending the techniques."

Having deduced the Mixed Origin Immortal Canon to the sixth realm, Eldrin set down the scroll in his hand, his heart growing increasingly tranquil.

Before attaining immortality, Eldrin carried immense pressure on his shoulders. Though he transformed this burden into motivation, causing his cultivation speed to advance by leaps and bounds.

Yet after attaining immortality, with the Eldritch Abomination beyond the realm no longer his objective, his cultivation progress instead slowed considerably.

Now that he had settled down, he calmed his mind to reflect on his cultivation journey, finally stepping back onto the righteous path of cultivation once more.

"The Primordial Chaos Immortal Scripture has been deduced to this extent, sufficient for cultivation for now."

"Now, it is time to make some preparations for my future cultivation."

Eldrin murmured to himself, putting away the Primordial Chaos Immortal Scripture before noticing Lyra approaching.

Madam.

Eldrin held Lyra close, noticing her expression seemed caught between joy and worry. He couldn't help but ask, "What troubles you today, my lady?"

"My love…"

Lyra hesitated, her words catching in her throat as a flicker of uncertainty crossed her expression.

At that very moment, Qingji (Person Name) approached from the side, exchanged a glance with Lyra (Person Name), and said with a gentle smile, "We are with child."

Eldrin (Person Name) froze for a moment, a flicker of astonishment and delight crossing his expression.

However, he quickly snapped back to his senses and instinctively tightened his grip on both women's hands.

For immortals like them, conceiving a bloodline heir was no simple feat—it demanded an immense price to bring such lineage into existence.

For immortals are no longer mere mortals, and a child born of 2 immortals is a Celestial Infant, whose innate talent and foundation are no less than those of mythical immortal breeds like the True Dragons and Phoenixes.

Conceiving such an immortal fetus is exceptionally difficult, and the gestation period alone requires at least 3 1000 years from conception to birth.

During this period, female immortals would experience a significant decline in combat prowess due to the influence of the fetus within them. For a 1000 years after giving birth, they would remain in an extremely vulnerable state.

Thus, Eldrin found himself torn. On 1 hand, he longed to have children with Lyra and Qingji; on the other, he worried about the profound impact it might have on them.

After all, they had only recently arrived in the Immortal Realm and still faced formidable enemies within the Scarlet Dragon Sea. If news spread that the 2 were with child, it was certain that the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) lineage of the Divine Eagles would not let such a golden opportunity slip by.

After much deliberation, Eldrin looked at Seiki and Lyra, hesitating slightly as he said, "Once you're pregnant, I'm afraid it will have a significant impact on your own well-being. I'm worried..."

"Husband."

Seeing this, Lyra firmly grasped Eldrin's hand.

She shook her head resolutely, her tone unwavering as she declared, "Husband, we have been together for thousands of years. It is time we had descendants of our own."

"I wish to stay by your side and raise our child together."

"This..."

Eldrin’s expression turned hesitant. On 1 hand, he feared that Lyra and Green Princess might fall victim to covert schemes by formidable foes once their pregnancies became known.

On the other hand, he also desired this child.

Seeing this, Qing Ji tightly grasped his hand and said, "Before attaining immortality, we feared the coming of the great calamity. To remain steadfast in our pursuit of immortality, we never conceived a child."

"But now that we have both attained immortality, what is there left to hesitate about?"

Meanwhile, Yan Zi Ji and Lila (Person Name) approached with their companions. Yan Zi Ji firmly grasped his hand and said, "The higher 1's cultivation base grows, the more difficult it becomes to bear descendants."

"Lyra and Qingji can still conceive now, but if we miss this chance, as their cultivation advances further, it might take millions of years before they could possibly conceive again."

Lila (Person Name) also nodded, her expression grave as she spoke, "Between heaven and earth, even immortals may not know absolute freedom and ease."

"Cataclysm, Heavenly Tribulation, and Cosmic Tribulation—countless formidable foes. No matter how powerful you become, as long as you seek to advance your cultivation further and contend for the opportunities bestowed by heaven and earth, you will always make enemies."

"If we refrain from bearing children out of fear of powerful foes, we shall never have descendants to carry on our bloodline."

In the end, Seraphina Qu also turned her gaze toward him. Her beautiful eyes rested upon Eldrin as she gave a slight bow and said, "My sisters and I also wish to bear you a descendant before we ascend to immortality."

Eldrin remained silent. He cast a glance at Seraphina Qu, then swept his gaze over Lila and the others, before finally steeling his resolve.

He nodded, his resolve firming as he declared, "In that case, my lady, focus on resting for the pregnancy. Leave everything else to me."

Having resolved to leave descendants, the group immediately embarked on the great undertaking of baby-making.

Compared to the celestial beings, whose bloodline propagation requires fate and fortune, it is far easier for a Nascent Soul cultivator to conceive.

3 100 years passed in the blink of an eye. Lila (Person Name), Yan Zi Ji, and Seraphina Qu (Person Name) had all become with child.

Early that morning, Eldrin emerged from his cave abode and, after bidding farewell to his several wives, made his way to the Lianxu Immortal Island.

Upon arriving at the Ethereal Void Immortal Island, Eldrin sought out the Ethereal Void Immortal.

Seeing him arrive at his doorstep, the Void-Refining Immortal showed no surprise, merely smiling faintly as he said, "Since you've come, let us set off."

"Good."

Eldrin smiled faintly and followed the Void-Refining Immortal toward the Sunset Sea.

It turned out that the 2 of them had come to participate in the once-in-10,000-years Grand Bazaar within the Crimson Sun Blessed Land.

The 2 flew side by side as the Void Refinement Immortal began, "The Barter Convention of the Setting Sun Blessed Land is held once every 10 1000 years."

Each time the Trading Assembly commences, it draws the participation of over a 100 immortals from the surrounding seas.

"The grand assembly will not only feature transactions of immortal treasures, but also include legacies of immortal-grade talismans, artifact forging, and alchemy."

"You are new to the Immortal Realm, and your foundation is far too meager. If you could acquire some resources, it would greatly enhance your personal reserves."

"I understand."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this. Although his skills in alchemy, artifact forging, and even array formations had already ascended to the immortal tier, progressing further had become exceedingly arduous.
