There were his parents, Eleine, and not far from them, there were the spirit ancestors and her two companions, all waiting for him, but Aldrian's eyes focused on his mother's bloated stomach. The gestation period of cultivators was much longer compared to normal mortals without cultivation.
That was because the child needed more time to develop, and they also absorbed the mother's energy to support their growth. That was why cultivators in their pregnancy period needed more nutrition or an energy source to support their child as well.
Aldrian's heart trembled as he looked at his mother's stomach, but he quickly calmed himself and walked toward his parents. They had been waiting for him and must have been worried, so he had to greet them first.
"Father, Mother, I'm back," he said warmly, which made Irene quickly grab his hand.
"I'm glad that you came safely, son," she said with watery eyes, then looked over his body. "Are you hurt anywhere? I hope you didn't get hurt."
