Chapter 238: Did Master Have a Baby?!
Upon hearing this condition, Zhou Tong couldn’t help but feel a stir in his heart.
The other party actually wagered authority, truly a wealthy gamble.
“I’ll take your bet, so let’s hear the terms.”
Zhou Tong agreed without hesitation; in truth, he didn’t have a choice.
“Very well!”
With a flick of the hand, the Earth’s Veins returned the colorful seed to Zhou Tong.
“I want you to personally plant this seed, and once it blooms, bears fruit, and matures, you will have succeeded.”
Zhou Tong fell into a moment of silence.
This seed was clearly not ordinary, and its maturation conditions would undoubtedly be stringent.
“Are you afraid?”
“The kid has never known fear; it’s just…”
The old man could tell you how to plant it.
“I’m all ears.”
“This seed is very delicate; you must plant it in the ground within a month, and it must be in the Pure Land of your heart.”
“The Pure Land of the heart…”
Zhou Tong’s expression slightly tightened; only by reaching semi-sage could one carve out space within themselves to form a Pure Land.
This implied that he would have to reach semi-sage within a month!
In the two months following planting, you must nourish the seed with sage-level spiritual power without interruption; any slight negligence could lead to failure.
Hearing this condition, Zhou Tong nodded slightly; this was the easiest step for him.
“After the nourishment period, you will need to irrigate the seed with the blood of a sage for forty-nine days to activate it, allowing it to grow and mature!”
Zhou Tong took a deep breath.
The so-called sage blood was not something that only sage-level warriors could possess; the fleshly sage blood was also considered sage blood, and its potency was even stronger than that of ordinary sage blood.
Now, as his Omniverse Illusion Seal had opened up one hundred thousand small worlds, it was equivalent to his physical body being semi-sage; to achieve a physical sage level, he must open up a million small worlds!
This was very difficult!
It meant he had to become a semi-sage within a month, and a physical sage within three months, opening up to a million small worlds.
Faced with such stringent conditions, Zhou Tong also felt great pressure, but at the same time, his fighting spirit was ignited!
“I, the younger generation, am willing to accept the bet!”
Upon hearing this, the Earth’s Veins was first taken aback, then broke into hearty laughter.
“Good! Truly formidable youth! How about we set the term to one year?”
“Agreed!”
As soon as the agreement was made, the Heavenly Dao’s laws surged, forming a pact between the two parties.
Pact Establishers: Earth’s Veins, Zhou Tong.
Pact Content: Within one year, Zhou Tong must plant the extraordinary seed, making it bloom, bear fruit, and mature.
Victory Reward and Punishment: If Zhou Tong succeeds, the Earth’s Veins must grant him a piece of authority; if Zhou Tong fails, he must sacrifice himself, becoming nourishment for the Earth’s Veins!
Neither party hesitated, each pouring a wisp of vital essence into the pact, and immediately, the pact split into two copies for each party to hold.
“Kid, good luck!”
As the words fell, the spiritual body of the Earth’s Veins dissipated, and the scenery in front of Zhou Tong rapidly changed, returning to reality.
“Little one!”
“Junior apprentice brother!”
Master and elder sister rushed forward to support his body.
“What just happened?”
“Nothing important; the demonic race’s conspiracy has been resolved, everyone can rest assured.”
Zhou Tong said lightly, omitting any mention of the bet, not wanting to worry those important to him.
“Young Master Zhou, your merits are boundless!”
Upon hearing this, the cultivators present bowed deeply again, even the Chief Enforcer bent in respect; Zhou Tong’s contribution was truly immense.
This time of gratitude not only allowed Zhou Tong to absorb a vast amount of power of belief but also earned him merit power, prompting his cultivation to advance another step!
Reincarnation Sixth Layer!
Looking at the crowd below, Zhou Tong smiled, yet exuded an unshakable authority.
“Today, being able to slay two Celestial Kings and quell disaster is not solely my achievement; it is the result of everyone’s efforts. I thank you all here!”
“If I am fortunate enough to gain greater opportunities in the future and achieve the way, I will never forget everyone’s hard work!”
“Young Master speaks too highly; protecting the human race is our duty!”
Everyone felt content; receiving a promise from Zhou Tong was, in their eyes, worth its weight in gold!
“We will take our leave now; Young Master, if you need anything in the future, we will not decline!”
In no time, experts from various sides dispersed one after another, leaving only the enforcers waiting in place.
“Is there something you wish to convey, senior?”
Zhou Tong looked at Han Ye and clasped his hands in inquiry.
“You truly are someone I did not misjudge.”
The Chief Enforcer said with a gratifying smile, “Your rate of growth exceeds my expectations; you far surpass my imagination. If it’s you, I can entrust it with peace of mind…”
“Remember, young man, come to the Enforcement City in three days; I have important matters to discuss with you.”
“I will obey the command!”
As the enforcer left, only members of the Joyful Union Sect remained.
“We should head back as well!”
Zhou Tong looked at Mu Ran Ya but suddenly felt a tightening in his pupils.
She indeed did not disappoint, holding the sage essence and not using it to replenish her own source deficiencies but instead merging it into her lower abdomen.
“What are you doing?!”
Zhou Tong was genuinely angry this time, stepping forward to grab her wrist, ready to lecture her.
“The first rule of our agreement…”
Mu Ran Ya dared not meet Zhou Tong’s gaze, speaking weakly, leaving him speechless.
The two had set a rule last night that in public, Zhou Tong could not harm Master’s reputation.
“Ahem… Senior sister, you should take everyone back; I have important matters to discuss with Master alone.”
Hearing this, the elder sister looked skeptical, glancing between the two before finally leading the team away.
“Master, you need to explain yourself properly now.”
With only the two of them left, Zhou Tong’s voice became much more serious.
However, she pretended to be dead, pouting and looking to the side, as if she hadn’t heard Zhou Tong.
“Master…”
“Master!”
Even after calling several times, she remained indifferent.
“Ya Er?”
In desperation, Zhou Tong tentatively called out.
“Husband! I’m here!”
Mu Ran Ya immediately revealed a radiant smile, leaping into Zhou Tong’s arms.
“Please don’t be mad at me, just let me be willful this once!”
She blinked her bright eyes, even utilizing the Joyful Harmony Celestial Skill, hoping to muddle through.
This action amused Zhou Tong: “Honestly explain, or don’t blame me for being merciless; why did you waste the sage essence?!”
“It’s not wasteful!”
Mu Ran Ya blushed deeply, one hand caressing her lower abdomen, her face full of gentleness.
“I’m preparing the way for our baby!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong felt struck by lightning, gently stroking her forehead.
“You’re not feverish; we clearly just… how could it be so fast?”
Mu Ran Ya directly swatted away Zhou Tong’s hand, the beauty of her face glowing with maternal brilliance.
“Last night, I used the Joyful Harmony Celestial Skill Ninth Level!”
