Hearing the voice echoing in his mind, Chen Li was taken aback. Before he could react, his consciousness was suddenly transported to a vast Chaotic Space. This space was boundless, as if it were the very beginning of chaos itself.
In the next moment, an enormous Divine Grind appeared within this Chaotic Space.
Crack!
The Divine Grind began to rotate slowly, releasing countless pure strands of spiritual energy that flowed into Chen Li's Divine Soul. In an instant, Chen Li felt his Divine Soul's power growing, and the fatigue from long hours of observing the outside world vanished completely.
As his consciousness returned to his body, the image of the Chaos Divine Grind Visualization Method continued to operate in his mind, continuously strengthening Chen Li's Divine Soul. Although he was temporarily unaware of the levels of martial arts in this world, he recognized that this Chaos Divine Grinding Visualization was undoubtedly a powerful method for refining one's spirit!
Chen Li was filled with excitement.
Golden Finger!
Though it arrived late, it had finally come! Could he possibly comprehend something else? However, no matter how hard Chen Li tried this time, there was no response at all. If it weren't for the Chaos Divine Grind Visualization Method still operating in his mind, he would have doubted whether he had just experienced an illusion!
Forget it; for now, having the Chaos Divine Grinding Visualization would prevent him from frequently falling into a deep sleep. Moreover, starting his cultivation from the Womb—how incredible would that be? Chen Li thought.
He once again extended his consciousness outward, wanting to see how his mother was doing. At that moment, Shen Wanzhou had also regained her spirits and murmured, "Child, we still have three days. In these three days, our clan will do everything possible to enhance your vitality. By then, you will surely pass the Bloodline Identification!"
The Bloodline Identification was essentially a test to determine the vitality of the fetus. Shen Wanzhou suspected that since she had only been pregnant for three months and the fetus might have some innate deficiencies, that was why the identification had not passed.
For these three days, she worked hard to cultivate; as long as she could break through a realm, she would have enough strength to bolster the vitality of her unborn child.
However, this time, Chen Li noticed something unusual. Above the ancestral shrine's tablet hung a faint layer of black mist. It was this layer of black mist that obscured the Ancestral Spirit worshipped in the shrine, causing Chen Li to fail the Bloodline Identification.
Thinking of this, Chen Li felt a surge of anger: Who? Who is trying to harm me and my mother? How despicable to use such underhanded means! If it weren't for my acquisition of the Chaos Deity visualization method, I truly wouldn't have noticed that foul play had been involved!
It should be known that Wuding Marquis was also a Marquis with many experts in his household; yet no one had detected anything unusual about the shrine. This showed just how skilled and ruthless the person behind this was!
It was clear that the dark force was targeting both Chen Li and his mother. However, as a mere fetus, he had no way to convey the truth to her, which left him feeling anxious.
As night fell, Chen Li pondered throughout the day but couldn't think of a way to dispel the layer of black mist. Meanwhile, Shen Wanzhou, exhausted from the tumultuous events and pregnant, had gone to bed early to rest.
Time passed slowly until late at night when a sudden gust of cold wind blew through the room, slamming open the window and allowing a mass of black mist to surge inside. The moment it entered, Chen Li reacted instinctively. He strained to see what it was, but once he did, a chill ran through him.
Within the black mist stood a Hunchbacked Witch, her back hunched so low that it nearly touched the ground. Her ten fingers resembled withered branches, with long, dark nails extending beyond her fingertips. Chen Li had never seen a ghost before but knew this was clearly an evil spirit!
The Hunchbacked Witch slowly approached the sleeping Shen Wanzhou and reached out to touch her slightly protruding belly. A grin spread across her face, revealing a mouth full of rotten teeth as she rasped, "Not bad, not bad. This is a good fruit—though it's a bit small and not ripe yet, it can still be eaten!"
Chen Li cursed inwardly: "You’re the fruit! Your whole family is fruit!" Yet deep down, he understood that this was the work of someone behind the scenes who had failed to kill Shen Wanzhou and her unborn child during the day and had now sent this ghostly creature to cause trouble at night.
In the capital city, where the emperor resided, evil spirits were already rare. The Wuding Marquisate further suppressed malevolent forces within its walls. For this Hunchbacked Witch to dare enter the Wuding Marquisate and target Shen Wanzhou was a clear indication of the malicious intent of that hidden figure!
With her fingers extended, the Hunchbacked Witch aimed her dark nails at Shen Wanzhou's abdomen. Just then, a notification echoed in Chen Li's mind:
"You have seen an evil spirit; Maximum Insight activated; you have comprehended the soul secret technique: Taiyin Soul Summoning Technique."
In this urgent moment, Chen Li couldn't afford to ponder what he had just learned; he channeled all his Divine Soul power into activating the Taiyin Soul Summoning Technique. Fortunately, after practicing Chaos Divine Grinding Visualization for an entire day prior, he managed to invoke this soul secret technique.
Outside, the full moon hung high in the sky! Suddenly, an extreme chill rushed in like a gale, piercing through the Wuding Marquisate and into Shen Wanzhou's room. This aura was intensely cold and carried a heavy imperial might. Unfortunately, its influence was limited; it only enveloped the room without alerting anyone else.
What could this Emperor be doing?
A figure slowly emerged, somewhat ethereal, yet her cold and stunning beauty was unmistakable, breathtaking in its allure. She was the Phoenix Empress, Shen Qingyue!
Heaven had bestowed upon her the supreme physique: the Taiyin Moon Phoenix Body! Even in the upper realm, where prodigies were as numerous as dogs, Shen Qingyue still dominated, effortlessly overpowering all her foes, standing tall as the unparalleled being at the pinnacle of Cultivators.
However, just as she prepared to break through to a higher level of cultivation, she was ambushed by her most trusted friend, who inflicted a grievous wound upon her. Shen Qingyue fought fiercely, unleashing forbidden techniques to reincarnate and undergo a rebirth.
In that fleeting moment, her reborn soul was drawn by a mysterious force and was forcefully pulled into this place. Shen Qingyue surveyed her surroundings; the Hunchbacked Witch cowered in a corner, trembling in fear.
Filthy specter, die! Shen Qingyue pointed a finger, and with a painful scream, the Hunchbacked Witch disintegrated into nothingness.
With this Emperor's arrival, it signified that there was a fateful connection between this Emperor and you. Shen Qingyue glanced at the sleeping Shen Wanzhou and resolutely entered Shen Wanzhou's womb, transforming into a female fetus.
Just as Shen Qingyue sighed in relief and prepared to spend ten months in peace during her pregnancy, she suddenly sensed something amiss. She detected another fetus beside her—Chen Li.
What is this? How can there be another fetus here? Does that mean this Emperor has become a younger sister? No! I am the supreme Phoenix Empress; how can I be a younger sister? If anything, I should be an older sister!
As Shen Qingyue's thoughts spiraled into chaos, an overwhelming fatigue washed over her. Even though she had been an Empress in her past life, as a fetus she could only drift into a deep slumber.
Meanwhile, Chen Li had already exhausted her Divine Soul power due to using the Taiyin Soul Summoning Technique and had fallen asleep without realizing she had attracted an Empress!
At the same time, in the Wuding Marquisate, within a small room, Xu Yan'er knelt on the ground. Suddenly, with a loud bang, a pitch-black statue on the offering table before her exploded. The statue resembled that of the Hunchbacked Witch.
Xu Yan'er widened her eyes in shock and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Impossible! How could that foolish woman kill my ghost servant? No! I must quickly erase all traces; if anyone from the Wuding Marquisate discovers that I have been raising ghost servants, it will be over for me.
