"Ye Xiao, what are you doing..."
Red candles and silk gauze draped over a fragrant, soft-adorned chamber.
Gu Mingyue wore a phoenix crown and a light dusting of powder, her breathtaking beauty utterly peerless.
At this moment, terror gripped her face as she watched with her own eyes as one of Ye Xiao's hands plunged straight into her dantian, ripping out her Innate Dao Fetus by the roots.
Instantly, demonic energy surged through the room, like an ancient domain of devils, corroding every single pore on Gu Mingyue's body.
"Ye Xiao, if you wanted my Innate Dao Fetus, you could have just told me. Why did you have to treat me like this..."
Mist welled in Gu Mingyue's eyes, filled with heartbreaking despair and sorrow.
In a mere fraction of a second, the body of this Immortal Phoenix Empress, this supreme powerhouse, was reduced to dust...
...
"Ye Xiao, you're going too far!"
With a low cry from Gu Mingyue, the destined scene before Ye Xiao's eyes instantly vanished into thin air.
And he finally understood why, no matter how hard he tried, he had never been able to reduce Gu Mingyue's guard and aversion toward him.
On their wedding night, brutally excavating her Dao Fetus.
Wasn't this the act of a brute?!
Crucially, the Ye Xiao of the previous life had likewise practiced demonic arts.
Now, if he wanted to change Gu Mingyue's perception, he couldn't simply keep hiding the Myriad Transformation Demon Body and the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art; he had to find a way to make Gu Mingyue accept this secret...
"Going too far? It seems Mingyue doesn't realize the harm you've done to me..."
"The harm *I* did to you?!"
Gu Mingyue bit her lower lip hard. Seeing that Ye Xiao was about to force a kiss upon her, she gnashed her teeth and said, "Husband! Can you let me down now?!"
"Plop."
Ye Xiao shook his head and directly swept Gu Mingyue up in his arms, stepping into the immortal pool.
"Hum."
wisps of Dao aura rushed toward them, and mist rose, shrouding their figures.
In an instant, the immortal liquid soaked through Gu Mingyue's clothes, clinging tightly to her body and outlining an astonishing silhouette.
Soaring billows, crimson peaks...
"The Dao rhyme in this immortal pool is quite... vast, and the spiritual waves are quite... white. It should help with your injuries. Calm your mind and integrate with it."
Ye Xiao looked down at the vague, fair magnificence on Gu Mingyue's chest and said with a completely straight face.
"Ye Xiao!"
With a resentful look, Gu Mingyue struggled out of Ye Xiao's embrace, on the verge of completely erupting.
"I am going to cultivate. Please, wife, do not disturb me."
With that, Ye Xiao sat down cross-legged, the blood throughout his body emitting a deafening roar.
Behind him, a phantom of a divine demon abruptly materialized, frantically devouring the origin of the Dao and Dharma in this place.
Meanwhile, the divine-demon microparticles within his body rapidly climbed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
One thousand!
Two thousand!
Three thousand!!
Three thousand microparticles—a full thirty million catties of divine strength!!
With physical strength like this, let alone contemporaries, even a Great Vehicle Peak powerhouse would be instantly blown to pieces if they carelessly took a hit from it.
"Hmph."
Gu Mingyue took a deep breath, barely suppressing the resentment in her heart, and walked to the edge of the immortal pool as well, sitting down cross-legged.
"System, integrate the Primal Ancestral Talisman."
At the same time, within Ye Xiao's Soul Sea Realm, a golden divine talisman materialized out of thin air, shining like an ancient divine sun and radiating a blinding brilliance.
At this moment, his entire Soul Sea Realm seemed flooded with this golden light, brimming with divinity and as impregnable as a fortress.
Time passed!
When Ye Xiao opened his eyes, golden light instantly burst from his Double Pupils, slashing apart heaven and earth.
His gaze gradually fell upon the graceful, slender figure before him.
At this moment, Gu Mingyue sat upright, her figure appearing even more curvaceous, a pair of fair, slender jade legs completely exposed outside her dress, delicate and flawless, emitting a glowing, lustrous light like white jade.
Dark hair clung to her forehead and neck, possessing an indescribable, alluring charm. Her waist was too slender to span with one's hands, making the curves above and below appear all the fuller.
Vaguely, Ye Xiao could catch a faint, refreshing fragrance drifting from her body that calmed the heart and refreshed the spirit.
"Nine Heavens Mysterious Female Body..."
Ye Xiao muttered to himself, and the Dao bone in his chest suddenly erupted with brilliant immortal radiance, shrouding the entire immortal pool within it.
His Innate Dao bone was nearly of the same origin as Gu Mingyue's Innate Dao Fetus.
Now, Ye Xiao only needed to use the Dao rhyme and immortal energy in this immortal pool, along with the innate power within his Dao bone, to completely awaken Gu Mingyue's Innate Dao Fetus and its accompanying Nine Heavens Mysterious Female Body!
In this way, Gu Mingyue would carry his aura with her.
In the future, no matter where this Daughter of Heavenly Mandate went, she would be unable to escape Ye Xiao's perception.
As someone reborn, Gu Mingyue surely knew of the many good fortune realms across the Three Thousand Dao Prefectures, and even the times when these realms would emerge.
How could Ye Xiao bear to let his dear little wife go alone to those dangerous places?
Heh heh heh.
The next day, just as dawn broke.
The sound of bells echoed throughout the Ye Family grounds, and immortal mist filled the skies for tens of thousands of miles.
Ye Xiao stepped out of the immortal pool, glanced at Gu Mingyue who was still sitting there with her eyes closed, and directly left the cave dwelling, heading toward the direction of the ancestral shrine.
The moment his aura completely vanished, Gu Mingyue's eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Innate Dao Fetus, how is that possible..."
Gu Mingyue furrowed her brows slightly, lowering her gaze to look at the golden Dao fetus within her dantian, her eyes filled with utter confusion.
According to the trajectory of her growth in her previous life, this Innate Dao Fetus had only awakened after she stepped into the Tianji Realm and comprehended the laws of the Great Dao.
Why, in this lifetime, had she actually awakened the Innate Dao Fetus in the Divine Wheel Realm?
Although the immortal pool before her was terrifying, restoring her realm to the Divine Wheel Third Layer in just a single night, it was not enough to support the gestation of an Innate Dao Fetus.
Could it be that her rebirth had truly altered the laws of the Great Dao in this world?
If so, would Ye Xiao's personality and life trajectory also...
"No!"
Gu Mingyue's pretty face turned stern, forcefully suppressing the distracting thoughts in her heart.
She had already died once—wasn't that lesson enough?
"Hum."
With that thought, Gu Mingyue immediately stood up and walked out of the cave dwelling, quietly slipping away from the Ye Family.
If she remembered correctly, at this time node, that divine tomb in Yinxu should be about to emerge.
In her previous life, it was also in this divine tomb that she encountered a young man from a minor family.
Although this young man had ordinary looks, his talent was extremely high, being a proud progeny with a Holy Body.
During this trip, he even seized supreme fortune within the divine tomb, instantly rising to the pinnacle of the Holy Prefecture.
As long as Gu Mingyue could intercept his fortune, perhaps she could lift the seal of the Nirvana Seal even faster.
When that time comes, Ye Xiao... I will personally carve out your heart and see whether it is black or red.
"Hum."
At the same time, before the ancestral shrine.
Ye Xiao frowned slightly and turned to glance in the direction of the Divine Son's cave dwelling.
For Gu Mingyue to leave in such a hurry, willingly abandoning the spiritual liquid and Dao rhyme in the immortal pool, she clearly had something more important to do.
Snatching his own fiancée's fortune shouldn't really count as snatching, right?
"Since everyone has arrived, let us begin."
As Ye Futian's voice fell, three ancient figures could be vaguely seen standing quietly in the void above his head.
The next instant, the three of them struck simultaneously, dropping myriad runes to tear open that patch of heaven and earth.
Golden mist began to rise, and a golden avenue was seen falling from the sky, Dao sounds rumbling like the Path of Immortal Sealing from the mortal world in primeval times, connecting heaven and earth.
"The Saint's Path!!"
The gazes of the various Ye Family descendants trembled, a fighting spirit boiling faintly in the depths of their eyes.
At the same time, their gazes fell upon Ye Xiao, as if awaiting the orders of this Divine Son of the Ye Family.
Among them, a youth dressed in black with handsome features had an even more surging, intense fighting spirit in his eyes.
The Ancestral Qi permeates the body, and the cosmos is yet undecided.
Right here at the peak of the Saint's Path, before the Nine Veins, he would crush Ye Xiao with his own hands and take back the position of Divine Son!!
