Chapter 858: Four Domains’ Merit, Saintess Gives Birth
Chapter 858 -92: Four Domains’ Merit, Saintess Gives Birth
Half a year later.
Yunling Town.
Divine Maiden Temple.
The small temple that was once not very large has now been expanded into a vast temple.
Besides the main hall dedicated to the Divine Maiden, there are several auxiliary halls.
In the auxiliary halls, Lady Orchid, Lady Mingyue, Nine-tailed Lady, and Venerable Body Saint are worshipped respectively.
Currently, there is a long line forming in front of the Divine Maiden Temple, with countless cultivators and citizens arriving early, respectfully waiting at the temple’s entrance.
This scenario began half a year ago when the Purifying World crossed the sky, and people learned that the World-Ending Demon Sword would appear in a thousand days.
Originally, the Divine Maiden Temple in Yunling Town only had a small following among several nearby towns.
But after the appearance of the World-Ending Demon Sword, the three cultivators who built the Divine Maiden Temple, Zhao Yi, Qian Er, and Sun San, claimed publicly that the temple housed the Saintess Xia.
Initially, many people didn’t believe it, but after Snowflake Fairy Fang Xue from Qinhe Garden in Yunling Town emerged to confirm it, the news quickly spread throughout Eastern Cultivator.
Everyone knew that now Saintess Xia and Qin Gengyun were leading the Qinlian Sect to resist the Demon Sword, but for ordinary cultivators and citizens, such battles were beyond their participation.
In gratitude for the virtue of the Saintess, countless people flocked to the Divine Maiden Temple in Yunling Town to offer respects as a sign of their appreciation.
Similarly, in Eastern Cultivator, West Imperial, stabilizing the situation were Mo Xiaolan, Tantai Mingyue, Si Minglan, who all had temples built for them spontaneously by the people, where divine statues were worshipped.
Qin Gengyun, considered the greatest hope against the Demon Sword after a thousand days, and a Body Cultivation Saint, naturally received similar treatment.
In no time, the Divine Maiden Temple thriving with incense offerings.
Cultivators from the Four Domains gathered in Yunling Town to offer their respects, and within half a year, Yunling Town became the second most flourishing town after Zhenyang City.
However, the distance between the Four Domains is vast, and the journey is challenging; cultivators can travel, but it’s difficult for ordinary citizens.
Thus, Zhao Yi, Qian Er, and Sun San called for cultivators from all regions to build Divine Maiden Temples in major cities throughout the Four Domains, allowing devoted citizens to pray.
In this way, temples dedicated to Saintess Xia quickly spread across the Four Domains of Hongzhou.
“Qian Er, Sun San, back when we built the Divine Maiden Temple, it was to express gratitude for the Saintess’s blessing. Who would’ve thought it’d develop into this scene?”
“Now, every day, countless Merit Power from the Four Domains converges here; what should we do with it?”
At this moment, Zhao Yi and the others were standing in a room behind the Divine Statue of Xia Qinglian. In the center of the room, there was a Merit Pool, filled with pure white Spiritual Energy. It was the Merit Power formed by people’s reverence for Xia Qinglian throughout the Four Domains.
Qian Er replied, “This belongs to the Divine Maiden; we should consult the maiden, shouldn’t we?”
Sun San immediately said, “You’re right, I’ll set off to find the maiden now.”
“Damn it! Sun San, you’re just seizing the opportunity to meet the maiden, aren’t you?”
Qian Er was furious, “Every time we meet the maiden, you’re the best at flattering her, but this time, you can forget about leaving us behind!”
Sun San sneered, “That’s because your reverence for the maiden isn’t as heartfelt as mine.”
“What did you say?!”
“Both of you, stop fighting!” Zhao Yi stopped them, “Do you even know where the maiden is now? Moreover, if we calculate the time, the maiden is about to give birth, so don’t go causing a scene!”
Zhao Yi’s words calmed both of them down, and Qian Er pointed helplessly at the nearly overflowing pool of Merit Power:
“What should we do with this Merit Power? It’s soon going to overflow.”
Sun San said, “If it can’t hold, let’s build a few more Merit Pools; in eight hundred days, the maiden will battle the Demon Sword; it might be useful then.”
“Alright, let’s do that!”
…
Deep in the Northern Wilderness.
Below a large mountain, there is a courtyard among the woods.
“Miss, push harder, push!”
“Ah!!”
“Sister, do you want to eat something?”
“Xiaohong, does Miss seem like she’s in the mood to eat right now?”
“Ah!!!”
“Sister Xia, calm down, the house is going to collapse!”
“Oh my, Caihe, is childbirth actually this terrifying?”
“Husband, it hurts so much! Ah!!”
“My dear, I’m here, I’m here with you!”
“Wah~~ Wah~~”
“The child is born, it’s born!”
“It’s a boy!”
In a flurry of activity and shouting, Qin Gengyun carried a baby boy to Xia Qinglian, his face full of worry and joy:
“My dear, look, this is our child.”
Xia Qinglian lay on the bed, her head soaked with sweat, her complexion pale, but upon seeing the child, her face immediately showed a tender smile.
“Yun’Er, husband, it’s our Yun’Er.”
The couple had agreed earlier that regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, the child’s nickname would be Yun’Er.
“Wow, this child is so ugly; his eyes can’t be seen! Does he want grilled ham?”
Luo Xiaohong came over, bringing a piece of ham to the child’s mouth.
“Xiaohong, newborns can’t open their eyes, and they’ll look good in a few days. He needs to have milk, let’s go out.”
Liu Su, Xu Caihe, and Zhou Ling’Er quickly dragged Luo Xiaohong away.
The room was left with only Xia Qinglian and Qin Gengyun, Xia Qinglian sat up from the bed, gently holding the child, looking lovingly indulgent.
“Husband, give the child a name.”
Currently, the child only has a nickname, not a full name.
Qin Gengyun smiled and said, “Qin Yunling, how about this name?”
Xia Qinglian looked at him, her frosty brows unbelievably gentle: “We met in Yunling, yes, it’s a good name!”
At this moment, the child began to cry, and outside Liu Su’s voice sounded: “Miss, it’s time to feed the baby!”
Xia Qinglian paused, “How do I feed?”
“Oh, Miss, you ask like that… You usually feed the husband, so now you feed the child the same way! Ouch! Miss, you can hit me from this far, Divinity Transformation is terrifying, Miss, don’t hit me, I’m sorry!”
Three months ago, Xia Qinglian entered Divinity Transformation, and now Yu Weixian is merging with the Purifying World; there’s no Divinity Transformation Hunter in the world now. Not only Xia Qinglian but also Luo Xiaohong, Su Hongling, Ye Xiyue, Mo Xiaolan, Si Minglan, and Qin Gengyun have successively entered Divinity Transformation.
However, despite Qin Gengyun’s cultivation reaching Divinity Transformation, his body has not yet reached the realm of Body Cultivation Saint.
“Husband, shall I feed the child?”
“Alright, dear, you feed him.”
Xia Qinglian cradled the child with one hand and pulled down her collar with the other, placing the child near her bosom.
Qin Yunling latched on and began to suckle noisily.
Xia Qinglian’s lips curled up: “Husband, look, Yun’Er is nursing!”
Qin Gengyun was smiling too, looking kindly.
“By the way, husband, you should go cultivate.”
Xia Qinglian quickly transformed from a loving mother into a strict wife and spoke outside:
“Xiaohong, go help husband with body refining.”
“Okay!”
Outside, Luo Xiaohong’s response echoed, Qin Gengyun felt a bit reluctant to leave his wife and child but knew time was pressing, gently kissed Xia Qinglian’s cheek:
“Dear, you’ve worked hard.”
With that, he left the room, and Liu Su, Xu Caihe, and Zhou Ling’Er waiting outside were excited:
“Wow, husband and the concubine are going to start cultivating again!”
