Chapter 1838
Demon Seed 1
Han Yunya and Chu Xiao'er became the two most outstanding women of this era, and their names are engraved in history.
Compared to her excellent mother, Liu Dong's life in this world was quite ordinary.
After seeing Han Yunya off, he chose to leave this world.
He took Chu Xiao'er's personal jade pendant.
That jade pendant caused Chu Xiao'er to travel through time.
It is a very small part of Buzhou Mountain, but it possesses a small portion of the power of the Kunlun Mirror.
Liu Dong left this world and, following the connection of this fragment, entered another world nearby.
……
Yuncheng is a small city, and the cultivators stationed here are only at the Golden Core stage.
When the demons attacked Cloud City in a group, even the Golden Core cultivator could not stop them. He immediately sent out distress messages to his sect and other major cities.
Fortunately, the rescue team arrived quickly.
Before the demons could breach the defenses of Cloud City, powerful beings arrived one after another and vanquished the demons.
The Golden Core cultivator, along with the city's cultivators, expressed their gratitude to the powerful figures for their assistance.
The Jade Balance Venerable of the Heavenly Evolution Sect stepped forward and said, "I have already divined that this demon attack on the city is due to the birth of a demon seed."
Everyone was shocked to hear this.
Demon Seed!
Those were the Demon Lord's reserves.
How could I have been born into the human race?
No one doubted Venerable Yuheng's words. The Tianyan Sect's divination and prediction techniques were the most powerful in the cultivation world, and they had never made a mistake in their calculations.
The cultivators took Venerable Yuheng's words very seriously and immediately went to find the child born on the day the demons attacked the city, determined to eliminate the demonic seed in his infancy and prevent him from growing up.
A monk lowered his head, obscuring the expression on his face.
At this moment, another cultivator spoke up: "Isn't the young mistress of the Liu family pregnant for ten months? Could it be that she gave birth to a demonic seed?"
The others: "Let's go to the Liu family!"
The city lord immediately led everyone to the Liu family.
The Liu family is a medium-sized cultivation family in Yuncheng, with several hundred members.
When the demons attacked the city, they also participated in the battle, and at this time they are receiving the big shots together with the city lord.
Seeing that everyone was heading to the Liu family, some of them went home to deliver the message, while others led the way for the others.
The head of the Liu family is very pragmatic. What does it matter to sacrifice a child in order to protect the family?
When everyone arrived at the Liu family home, the Liu family head had already brought out his newborn grandson and handed him over to everyone to take care of.
The child is fair-skinned and very cute.
But no one is soft-hearted; this is a seed of evil.
Legend has it that the demon seed will destroy the world.
However, the big shots didn't make a move; they wouldn't lay a hand on a helpless infant.
But someone else did it for me!
City Lord: "Who will make the move?"
"I, I'll do it!" The one who spoke was the cultivator who had lowered his head upon hearing of the birth of the demon seed.
The city lord did not recognize him, but the head of the Liu family did.
This man was the third son of the previous head of the Liu family, named Liu Suiqi.
The head of the Liu family and Liu Suiqi are not brothers.
The previous head of the Liu family offended someone he couldn't afford to offend and was killed.
Fearing that the man would take his anger out on the Liu family, the Liu family dared not let the son of the previous family head take over as family head. Instead, they pushed the Liu family head with the highest cultivation level at the time to the position of family head.
The head of the Liu family was from a collateral branch and was not closely related to the previous head of the family by blood.
After the Liu family patriarch took over, although he did not suppress the descendants of the previous patriarch, their lives were still difficult. Liu Suiqi was allocated very few cultivation resources, so he had to rely on himself and go out to hunt demons to find resources.
Unlike his other siblings, who stayed in the city out of fear of danger and relied on the meager cultivation resources provided by the family, none of them ever reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
Liu Suiqi was already at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, just one step away from forming the Golden Core.
The head of the Liu family was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.
The head of the Liu family was very wary of Liu Suiqi, fearing that he would take the position of family head after Liu Suiqi formed his core.
Now, seeing Liu Suiqi volunteer to kill the demon seed, I am very angry.
He thought this was Liu Suiqi's provocation.
Even though he's suspected of being a demon, he's still his own grandson!
I'm afraid this kid is going to use the demon seed thing to stir up trouble and try to seize the position of family head.
A murderous intent rose in the heart of the Liu family patriarch; this brat could not be allowed to live.
However, he could do nothing at this moment and could only watch helplessly as Liu Suiqi raised his hand and pressed it down on the baby.
Liu Suiqi thought to himself: I'm sorry, but for my child, you have no choice but to die!
"No—" A woman rushed out and snatched the baby from Liu Suiqi's hands.
The head of the Liu family recognized the woman as his youngest daughter-in-law, the baby's biological mother.
Although she had just given birth, the cultivator was different from ordinary women who had given birth. By taking a pill, the injuries she sustained during childbirth would heal quickly.
However, a lot of vital energy has been lost, which cannot be replenished by pills; it needs to be slowly cultivated back.
Zhang Qingqing was meditating, absorbing spiritual energy to nourish her body, when she suddenly heard someone say that her child was a demon seed and was going to be killed—someone was deliberately saying this outside her room—Zhang Qingqing could no longer sit still and immediately came out to save her child.
How could her child be a demon?
Her child was extremely well-behaved, never bothered her, and only occasionally responded to her.
When she gave birth, the child was kind to her and was born quickly, so she didn't suffer much.
How could such an obedient and adorable child be a demon?
Zhang Qingqing first went to find her husband, Liu Pei, hoping that he would save their child.
But Liu Pei refused: "That's a demon seed! Not my child!"
Liu Pei's gaze towards Zhang Qingqing also became scrutinizing, as if he suspected that Zhang Qingqing was a witch.
Otherwise, how could a perfectly good cultivator have a demonic son?
The problem must lie with the child's mother.
Liu Pei harbored murderous intent towards Zhang Qingqing.
Zhang Qingqing sensed Liu Pei's murderous intent and felt both sad and disappointed.
She was going to save her son herself, but Liu Pei attacked Zhang Qingqing instead.
However, Liu Pei was no match for Zhang Qingqing.
To save face for her husband, Zhang Qingqing always concealed her cultivation level, making herself appear weaker than Liu Pei.
Liu Pei had reached the tenth level of Qi Refining, while Zhang Qingqing had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
Zhang Qingqing hit Liu Pei, but out of consideration for their past relationship, she didn't kill him. She went to the hall and saw Liu Suiqi trying to kill his own son.
Zhang Qingqing snatched her son away and faced a group of powerful figures who could crush her with a single finger, showing no fear.
Zhang Qingqing has the confidence to back it up.
The Liu family thought she was an orphan who had married into the Liu family because she was good-looking and had caught Liu Pei's eye.
But in fact, Zhang Qingqing's biological father was a very famous rogue cultivator in the cultivation world, a powerful expert in the Tribulation Transcending stage.
Unfortunately, Zhang's father failed to overcome his tribulation and perished.
He left his daughter many good things.
Zhang Qingqing understood the principle that possessing a treasure can be a crime, so she hid all those things and changed her name to prevent people from thinking that she was related to her father.
She traveled the world as an orphan cultivator until she met Liu Pei. (End of Chapter)
