"Why are you here again?" Huang Hao asked Huang Lingzhu, who had just appeared.

Instead of answering Huang Hao's question, Huang Lingzhu's gaze focused on the pond in front of them. "Tian Hu will finish reshaping her body in a year, and she can return to Ling Yun's side then. By the way, Sheng Ming is pregnant with his child, and she will be a mother in less than a month."

"Huh?" Huang Hao was surprised to hear that. "Is Sheng Ming really pregnant? Doesn't that mean she will be the first immortal to give birth to a baby? What will happen to their child?"

"He or she will be born immortal like us." Huang Hao's jaw dropped, but he remembered that Ling Yun had immortal energy in his body after he absorbed Invidia, and Sheng Ming was the true immortal. "Their child will be the first immortal born naturally, and he or she will probably be the future of the immortal race."

Huang Hao raised an eyebrow. "Are you thinking about developing the immortal race?"

"Yes," Huang Lingzhu nodded. "In this universe, there are not many immortals, and there are only thirty of them. All of them detach themselves from worldly affairs, and they never think about romance and the like, so their numbers never grow. However, the situation changed after Sheng Ming became Ling Yun's wife, and Hua Xianren will become the second because she also fell in love with him. Their children will become the future immortals, and the future of the immortal race rests on their shoulders."

"Are you planning something about the immortal race?" Huang Hao suspiciously asked.

Huang Lingzhu acknowledged her guess with a nod. "Since those male immortals are not interested in worldly affairs, particularly love, I considered bringing female immortals, including Shen Ying, Mu Xianyu, Fen Hongyi, Mai Lingyi, and others, to Ling Yun, believing that their children would lead to the rise of the immortal race."

"You're insane!" Huang Hao shouted at her. "You already know that Ling Yun is furious with you because you tampered with Luxuria and Xiao Xiao's lives, but you refuse to change, and you even plotted something like that against those female immortals. If he finds out that you planned something like that, he will be even more furious with you, and he will never forgive you. For now, you can still relax because you are stronger than him, but you should realize that the situation will change, especially after he defeats Chaos and takes over his position. At that time, he will be omnipotent, and he will have complete control over you."

"I know," Huang Lingzhu sighed. "Do you think I haven't thought about that? I know that my plan is too risky, but I'm doing this for the future of the immortal race. I've long wanted their numbers to increase, but I couldn't do anything in the past. Besides, you should still remember Long Hun's character when he was alive, and Ling Yun will be like his predecessor when he becomes the next Primordial Chaos Dragon in the future, so I'm sure he won't reject those female immortals."

Huang Hao naturally remembered how lustful Long Hun was in the past, but Ling Yun was different from his predecessor; otherwise, he wouldn't have let those female beasts idle for so long. "Up to you then! I don't want to be involved in your madness, and I want to see how he punishes you for all your crazy actions in the future."

"After Tian Hu finishes reshaping her body, you must send her to Ling Yun directly." After saying that, Huang Lingzhu immediately disappeared from Huang Hao's sight.

"That crazy bitch!" Huang Hao could only shake her head. "Does my master already know about her plans? He won't agree to them, right?"

Sometime later, Huang Lingzhu arrived at the primordial realm and observed the eight Ling Yun clones cultivating there. She shifted her gaze to all the female immortals cultivating in different areas, thinking of a way to bring them to her side.

Huang Lingzhu sighed and went to the area with the barrier that confined Yuan Shijia within. She still couldn't feel the presence of the third primordial within it, mainly because the barrier was beyond her abilities as the first primordial.

Inside the barrier, Yuan Shijia had long entered deep slumber because her cultivation was different from others. Furthermore, she couldn't go anywhere because the barrier was too strong for her, so she chose to focus on her cultivation to break through to the pseudo-supreme realm.

"Why do you have to be like this Yuan Shijia? Do you hate me so much because I killed Long Hun?" Huang Lingzhu wondered to herself. "You should already know that I didn't want to kill him, and he was the one who provoked me to kill him. Just like you, I wholeheartedly love him, and I want to always be with him."

Huang Lingzhu sighed and disappeared from the place immediately, preparing some things for her next plans. No one knew what she was thinking, and everything would be revealed in due time.

"Husband, you're so mean; you're exhausting me to death." Jin Nanyi murmured in her sleep; her face was pale from exhaustion after dual cultivating with Ling Yun for several days nonstop.

Ling Yun smiled to himself as he listened to Jin Nanyi's delirium, but he realized that he had gone too far, and he hadn't given her a chance to rest in the past few days.

"Sleep well, Nanyi." Ling Yun kissed Jin Nanyi's forehead and got out of bed. He checked his body, which quickly returned to its original condition. "My body has adapted to her poison, and I no longer feel the pain like the first time after I dual-cultivated with her for days."

Ling Yun quickly dressed and left the place, allowing Jin Nanyi to rest. He was certain that she wouldn't wake up for the next few days because he had exhausted her so much.

As soon as he emerged from the void barrier, Ling Yun immediately inspected the entire residence. He found Shuang Yuzhu teasing her master in the room, especially after Xuanyin Yue became his wife a few days ago.

Meanwhile, Ling Yun found Long Nu cultivating in her room, and she seemed impatient to break through to the pseudo-supreme realm. He wanted to take the female dragon as his wife as soon as possible, but he didn't want to force her to have sex with him. After all, she had already verbally accepted him as her husband, and he only needed to wait for her to be fully ready to consummate their marriage.

Ling Yun couldn't find Huang Zhimei and Chu Nanhua inside the residence, so he immediately checked all the areas outside the residence. He found that the first woman was in the city with members of the Huang and Xiao clans, while the second woman was in the sect discussing matters with some people.

As for Ling Yun's slaves, like Sun Xing'an, Jiang Yingwu, You Shu, Chi Shexing, and Mei Langxing, they were in the sect and helping the people there.

Thereafter, Ling Yun looked for Xue Jing, and he found her cultivating at the southern beach alone. After all, Huang Lingzhu had already set up a time formation in the southern region of the Forgotten Starfall Domain, so the time flow there was equivalent to that in her residence.

"Hehe," Ling Yun turned to Ling Xi, who had suddenly appeared beside him along with Zhou Yu. "I already knew that woman's poison wouldn't affect you, husband."

Zhou You asked him, "Is your body really fine because of her poison, husband?"

"At first, her poison affected my body, and the pain was quite excruciating. However, my body had fully adapted to her poison after we dual-cultivated for days, and I no longer felt any pain." Ling Yun pulled the two female spirits into his arms and kissed them in turn. "After they return from the competition in that domain, we will enter seclusion again, and we won't come out for another fifty years."

"Competition?" Ling Xi and Zhou Yu were confused by that, so Ling Yun immediately explained to them about the competition in the Flowing Water Domain. "Oh? You want them to develop themselves through that competition, right?"

Ling Yun nodded. "They've been in seclusion for decades, so I want them to go out and hone their skills by fighting those cultivators. Although they've been training all that time, they've never experienced a real fight, so they can use the competition to test their fighting skills firsthand."

"I see." Ling Xi nodded in understanding. "Although most of them have never experienced real combat, I'm sure those cultivators won't be able to defeat them. However, I didn't expect you to allow them to fight. Does this decision have anything to do with your last battle against Chaos?"

Ling Yun sighed. "I don't know if I can return after I defeat Chaos, so I want them to hone their fighting skills further from now on. If I can return, I can protect them. If I can't return, they can protect themselves, and they won't have to live cooped up in this residence like now."

"I think that's good." Zhou Yu nodded in agreement. "Whether you can come back or not, they still have to learn to protect themselves. By the way, Sheng Ming is pregnant now, so you should go see her now."

"Xiao Yin already told me about it, and my child with Sheng Ming will most likely be born an immortal like her or his mother." Ling Xi and Zhou Yu had heard about it from the female ai, and they eagerly awaited the birth of their child. "I'll go see Ming'er first."

"Do you really think their child will be born immortal, Big Sis?"

Ling Xi nodded. "I'm sure they'll be born as immortals, and we only need to wait a few months to get the answer."
