Chen Zhi's mind sank.
He remembered correctly, the so-called Ancient Secret Realm was indeed a place of ancient great calamity!
In the game plot of "Great Cultivation," the tragic cannon fodder, Chen Zhixing, turned dark, his temperament becoming eccentric and violent, his psychology distorted and twisted, eventually offending the protagonist and being killed by him.
A big part of the reason was related to this so-called Ancient Secret Realm.
Because Chen Tianliang went to that ancient land of calamity, where he was schemed against, leading to damage to his Great Tao Foundation, his cultivation fell from the True Self Realm to the Divine Travel Realm, and his path of cultivation was completely severed, causing a series of chain reactions.
The Chen Family did not count those born out of wedlock, having four branches of direct descendants.
Although Chen Tianliang was not the eldest son, he was part of the third branch.
But because of Chen Tianliang's formidable strength and exceptional combat power, he still had a certain status among these four branches.
The result was that Chen Tianliang's cultivation plummeted, and unable to cultivate again, his status within the family fell again and again.
And Chen Zhixing, who had extremely low cultivation talent, naturally was not valued from childhood, suffering much bullying.
Chen Tianliang appeared carefree on the surface, but was actually extremely proud by nature. How could he accept such a blow?
So he placed all his hopes on Chen Zhixing.
In childhood, if Chen Zhixing was slightly lax in cultivation, he was either beaten or scolded, blamed for being stupid, or ridiculed for being born a wastrel.
All these reasons combined led Chen Zhixing to adopt a defiant attitude: "Since you think I'm a wastrel, I'll show you how much of a wastrel I can be," gradually leading to his fall, and eventually bringing disaster upon himself.
"Was the reason Chen Tianliang went to that land of calamity back then because of me?"
Chen Zhi sighed in his heart.
Everything in the world had cause and effect.
He hadn't expected the eventual bitter fruit to have been sown when he was still a fetus.
"No, I must stop all of this!"
A sense of urgency surged within Chen Zhi.
Playing is playing, joking is joking, but you can't make fun of your own father.
Chen Tianliang, after all, was his biological father in this life. He couldn't watch Chen Tianliang walk toward his end with his eyes wide open.
Just as Chen Zhi was pondering.
"Tianliang, is the Ancient Secret Realm dangerous or not?"
"I'm not sure. It's a new secret realm; no one knows the situation inside."
"I see... Tianliang, if you ask me, maybe you should forget about it? The child will be born in a few months, I don't want you to risk yourself at this time."
"Hahaha, don't worry, wife. The secret realm won't open for more than half a year, by then the child will definitely be born. Besides, this time, I'm going to the secret realm with some old friends; we're confident."
"I see... well, whatever you do, I will support you."
Upon hearing his parents' conversation, Chen Zhi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately.
There was still more than half a year; everything could still be rewritten.
...
...
In the blink of an eye, another three months passed.
Chen Zhi had been in the womb for eight months.
At this moment, Chen Zhi's little hands and feet had fully formed, and there was even a patch of black fetal hair on his head.
Under the infusion of various heavenly materials and earthly treasures from Chen Tianliang, Chen Zhi was developing very well, with dense black hair, robust and strong bones, and a powerful heartbeat.
His Spiritual Power had even reached a range of fifty meters outside his body.
At this moment, inside Yingy Shuangshuang's bulging belly.
The tiny Chen Zhi sat cross-legged, his eyes tightly closed.
A large amount of Spiritual Qi was being absorbed through the umbilical cord.
As Chen Zhi operated the "Innate Primordial Tao Scripture," this Spiritual Qi began circulating through the heavenly cycle, rushing toward the Heaven-Reaching Acupoint at the top of his head.
That was the final blockage in his body's meridians and acupoints!
As long as this blockage was cleared, he would gain the Innate Primordial Tao Body!
From then on, be unstained and smooth on the path of cultivation, no longer facing any gateways or barriers.
Thud!
With a dull sound, the final blockage at the Heaven-Reaching Acupoint was unexpectedly cleared.
[Ding! You have cleared all blockages in your body and gained the Innate Primordial Tao Body!]
[Ding! The Spiritual Qi in your body will all transform into the Primordial Power of Heaven and Earth!]
A system notification sounded in Chen Zhi's mind.
Chen Zhi could clearly feel that at this moment, he was incredibly close to heaven and earth.
As if he had become the favored one of heaven and earth, if not for the barrier of Yingy Shuangshuang, countless heaven and earth Spiritual Qi would have vied to pour into his body.
In addition, the Spiritual Qi he had previously accumulated in his dantian was rapidly transforming into the more powerful Innate Primordial Power!
At this moment, Chen Zhi had a realization in his heart.
If he wished, he could even break out of the womb right now!
"Uh... breaking out through the belly, that would be terrifying, and I would definitely be considered a demon child."
Chen Zhi quickly shook his head. It had only been two months since he was born, so there was no rush.
...
...
Two months later.
Chen Zhi heard the noisy commotion outside and woke up with a sense of anticipation.
"Finally, it's time to go."
Chen Zhi touched his little house, feeling inexplicably reluctant to leave, silently singing in his heart, "Goodbye, Mom, tonight I set sail, don't worry about me, I have the oars of joy and wisdom..."
After finishing his song,
Chen Zhi rolled over, chose the right fetal position, and with all his might, charged forward.
With the sound of 'waa,' Chen Zhi left his tiny home.
Next, someone took scissors and removed the weighty baggage from him.
"Seven pounds nine ounces! It's a baby boy!"
Before he could adjust, someone lifted his little feet and slapped the soles a few times.
An urging voice sounded.
"Cry! Cry quickly!"
Chen Zhi, having no choice, had to cooperate with their performance, opening his mouth and wailing loudly.
"Madam, look at how loud the baby's voice is and how good he looks."
The midwife brought Chen Zhi to the bedside.
Chen Zhi also opened his eyes to look.
He saw a gentle woman, her face pale, forehead dotted with sweat, looking at him tenderly.
This was his mother in this life.
Inexplicably, smelling his mother's scent, a warm and comforting feeling welled up in Chen Zhi's heart.
However, before he could continue familiarizing himself with his mother's scent,
"Keke!"
"Let me take a look!"
Accompanied by a hearty laugh, Chen Zhi saw a burly, rugged-faced middle-aged man, eyes gleaming, rubbing his hands, walking towards him with a mischievous grin.
Chen Tianliang picked up Chen Zhi, looked at him, and then laughed loudly, "He has a nose and eyes, looks just like me!"
"..." Chen Zhi glanced at him sideways, well, as if other people's children didn't have noses or eyes?
"Hahaha, my boy, dad will tell you the story of the golden axe, silver axe, and iron axe tonight, okay..."
Before Chen Tianliang could finish,
Chen Zhi slowly raised his little hand, aimed,
With a 'slap' sound,
Chen Zhi's little hand landed on Chen Tianliang's face.
Hmm, now I feel content!
...
...
[I had written to the back, but seeing that many friends seem to be concerned about the fetus issue, and since I'm a relatively serious person, I came back to explain a few things.
My child was born on March 19th this year, and I participated in the whole pregnancy checkup journey, so I should have a reasonable understanding of the development and growth of the fetus.
Generally speaking, fetal movement can be felt in the second to third month.
By the 24th week, or the sixth month, during the first four-dimensional anomaly scan, the bones and limbs are almost fully formed; you can see facial contour and features clearly, and use this scan to determine if the child has any abnormalities.
From the 28th week to the 30th week, or the seventh month, comes the second four-dimensional detailed anomaly scan.
At this time, the fetus's nails, hair, bones, etc., have fully matured.
By this time, the baby's appearance is pretty much what it'll look like at birth.
Here, I write that the protagonist is in the eighth month, has consumed many heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and has cultivated the Tao body, so his bones are strong and his black hair is thick.
Is there any problem?
Moreover, the protagonist started cultivating from the womb; some differences from ordinary people are quite normal, right?
Is there any problem?
Besides, writing novels is not science popularization; I won't scrutinize too much, but if you view everything with a critical eye, then there would be inaccuracies everywhere.
Writing books is like making friends; focus on strengths and overlook weaknesses.
Otherwise, there are too many things you can criticize.
If I explain it like this and you still want to argue, then... well, you are right.
Finally, sorry for interrupting everyone's reading experience. Apologies, apologies.
May everyone be happy. O(∩_∩)O]
