Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 309 - 315: Secret Realm

"Zhirui, I'm worried about the safety of the two children," Jiang Fengwu said weakly.

You know, in ancient times, those who were born with unusual omens were either sages reborn or great beings reincarnated. Although our children are not as exaggerated, the disturbance of both Taiyin and Taiyang is certainly extraordinary.

What is the fate of a child carrying gold through the market? It goes without saying. And right now, the Li family is that child. Once the news leaks, we will have no power to protect our children.

"Rest assured, besides us few, no one else has seen the omen, and I have already made those Medical Cultivators take an oath," Zhirui reassured him.

In the moment when Zhirui witnessed the omen, he expanded his Divine Sense to the limit and within several dozen miles, he did not perceive the presence of anyone else.

Moreover, it was the middle of the night. Everyone was either sleeping and resting or meditating and cultivating.

Jiang Fengwu's heart eased slightly and he asked, "Have you thought of names for the two children?"

Zhirui had already prepared various options, but he felt that every single name was good, and this made him hesitant to decide. However, at the instant of seeing the omen, two names sprang to mind.

"Li Chengsheng, which signifies brightness and prosperity. I hope Sheng will shine brilliantly and prosper auspiciously," Zhirui said with enthusiasm.

"Our daughter shall be named Li Chengshuo, signifying the beginning and the first. I hope Shuo will grow vigorously and always be the foremost," he continued.

"What do you think?"

"Li Chengsheng, Li Chengshuo..." Jiang Fengwu repeated quietly a few times and then smiled softly, "Excellent!"

"These are Spirit Pills I've specially refined for postpartum recovery, to replenish the body's deficiencies," Zhirui said gently. "You should rest well these days, and I will take good care of Sheng and Shuo."

Jiang Fengwu looked reluctantly at the sweetly sleeping babies for a moment but for the sake of her own path, she had to leave them to Zhirui.

Carrying and birthing babies is an immense toll on the mother's body, to say nothing of Jiang Fengwu who had been pregnant for more than twenty months. Were it not for Zhirui, a third-tier Alchemist, not only her cultivation would have regressed, but she might also have incurred injuries to herself.

Zhirui took the two children to another room, convenient for him to look after them. They were very well-behaved; throughout the night, aside from crying a couple of times when hungry, they mostly slept.

Early the next morning, upon receiving the message, Li Shiqing and Li Shilian rushed over and couldn't help but soften their expressions at the sight of the two precious children, their eyes filled with affection.

In order not to wake them, Li Shiqing gestured to Zhirui to come outside and whispered, "Your message was rather cryptic. Can you give us the details now?"

Zhirui recounted the omen of the previous night and the subsequent measures he had taken, then suggested, "When Sheng and Shuo turn five and we test their Spiritual Roots, it's best to do it privately and not let too many people know, to prevent any leaks."

"What?!" The two of them were shocked to hear about the accompanying omen and then nodded continuously, saying, "Your handling of the matter is excellent. We will do as you suggest."

They understood Zhirui's concerns. If Cheng Sheng and Cheng Shuo were indeed to have Heavenly Spiritual Roots, it was certain that the Li family could not protect them. Shen Leishan might even directly intervene to take them away.

As a father, Zhirui naturally did not want to be separated from his own flesh and blood, and from the standpoints of Li Shiqing and Li Shilian, they were also not keen on the idea of prodigies who could elevate their family to new heights becoming Sect Disciples.

Joining just to become a Sect Disciple wasn't bad, they would have a better environment in which to grow, and could develop both faster and more safely.

But the issue was, Shen Leishan, or to say a large part of the Sects, didn't wish for the disciples to have too deep a bond with their families, and what they preached overtly was high-sounding, that it was for their future path of cultivation.

Therefore, they would try every means to alienate the disciples from their families, making them devoted solely to the Sect.

This was also the reason why the Li family had yet to send any of their clan to the Sects until now.

Of course, that was because the Li family had grown quickly enough, and with the Golden Core Realm cultivation techniques, they had the confidence to cultivate their talented clan members into Golden Core Cultivators.

For other families that had just started to rise, even if they were aware of the many issues within the Sects, they had to send their descendants there for the sake of their future pathways.

"Don't worry, we will cooperate with you when the time comes,"

Having received the promise from the two elders, Li Zhirui truly relaxed. Right at this moment, the two children grew hungry, and all three of them went inside to feed them Spirit Milk in small sips.

As a Beast-Taming Family, the Li family not only trained fighting Spirit Beasts but also had many of them for food, support, and other functional purposes.

The Spirit Milk the siblings were now drinking came from a type of Spirit Beast called Huan iu, which had been bred by the family. The Spiritual Energy in the milk was mild and didn't accumulate too many impurities, making it especially suitable for infants.

This wasn't any special treatment, but something afforded to every newborn, even those born to mortals.

Because the Huan iu produced a vast quantity of milk, the Li family had bred a large number of them considering the future of their clan; besides, cultivating Huan iu was easy, and any surplus Spirit Milk could be sold for a significant amount of Spirit Stones.

While Li Zhirui was busy attending to the children, a glimmer of Spirit Light suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the mountains situated in the southeast of Guangqing State.

"Is there really a Secret Realm here? Not to mention that we've been guarding this place for years, but even during the time the Yuanming Sect occupied this land, I never heard of any Secret Realm emerging!" a Li family Cultivator, who was patrolling as usual, couldn't help but complain to a comrade beside him.

Although there was a first-grade Spirit Vein nearby that was sufficient for their cultivation, these cultivators who had become accustomed to living on Wanxian Island, where there were two third-grade Spirit Veins, naturally felt dissatisfied.

"If the family arranged for us to come here, there certainly must be a reason," his companion said with a laugh. "The rewards for this guard duty are generous, and it's easy and comfortable."

"If we happen to discover the birth of a Secret Realm while on patrol, then we'll have struck it rich!"

Both of them were from the 'Cheng' generation of their clan and were young. Whether it was the initial Green Sword Sect, the later Yuanming Sect, or the now Li family, they wanted to exclusively possess the Secret Realm and naturally did not publicize it, so these youths were unaware of it.

He prattled on with much to say, but not hearing any response from his companion, he grew discontent and said, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"You guessed right!" The other man, face flushed with excitement, pointed not far off and exclaimed, "The Secret Realm has truly emerged!"

"What?!" The first man quickly turned around and, upon seeing the floating Spirit Light in the air, shouted with joy, "Quickly inform the family, the Secret Realm is about to appear!"

"We are going to make a great contribution!" Thinking this, both of them trembled with excitement.
