Chapter 1029 - 1015: Summoning Power

Listening to the system’s words, Su Muyao felt even more confident.

Xie Guixue entrusted the matters of the Demon Palace to the Great Elder, took a brief moment to rest and tidy up, and then set off together with Su Muyao.

Throughout the journey, Xie Guixue was careful in taking care of Su Muyao, fearing she might feel uncomfortable.

"I’m not that delicate, I feel quite comfortable now."

"I even have this strange feeling, like I’ve absorbed some magic power along the way, and gained some extra strength."

Xie Guixue’s cold brows flickered with an expression as he said, "Perhaps Zaizai is absorbing this energy."

Zaizai is a Pure Blood Dark Beastman, with talent even greater than his, needing to absorb a lot of dark energy.

Xie Guixue worried that Su Muyao might find it a bit strenuous, "Are you feeling tired?"

Su Muyao shook her head and said, "No, Zaizai is very well-behaved, not tiring at all."

"You know, I saw him in my dreams, and he resembles you a lot, except he’s completely black."

"I actually think if it were twins, it would be even better."

One pure blood dark Zaizai, one pure blood Ice and Snow Spirit Beast Zaizai, both would be wonderful.

Xie Guixue’s heart was touched, realizing what she truly thought.

A female willing to nurture Zaizai for her beast husband is all because of love.

In the Demon Realm, many females are unwilling to do so, because Dark Beast Cubs absorb and devour more energy.

It could be quite exhausting.

With a gaze full of pity and love, he looked at Su Muyao, "Pure Blood Dark Zaizai needs to absorb a lot of demon energy, and if there’s also a pure blood Ice and Snow Spirit Beast, they’d easily be affected by demonic qi."

"So this way is perfect."

"Wife, thank you."

Thank you for being willing to do this for him.

Even when he was still indifferent to her, she was willing to nurture Zaizai for him.

Xie Guixue truly couldn’t bear to let her feel even a hint of hardship.

...

Soon, they arrived at the depths of the Demon Valley.

The demonic qi inside was dense, seemingly with demonic shadows darting back and forth.

Further inside, the Demon Guards couldn’t endure such a presence, with some fainting directly to the ground.

Xie Guixue and Su Muyao got down from the convoy, advising them to stay here for the moment.

Xie Guixue and Su Muyao proceeded further inside.

Wherever they passed, the demonic shadows appeared to retreat automatically.

A direct path opened up for them.

They advanced without obstacles.

Every danger seemed to automatically avoid Su Muyao, a truly miraculous phenomenon.

Even a demonic wind blew away the white bones, as if afraid to scare Su Muyao.

The system excitedly said, "Host, your Pure Blood Dark Zaizai’s talent is so formidable that even while still in your womb, it can make all demons submit. All demonic qi and shadows dare not harm you and automatically make way for you."

"It’s so amazing."

"This is indeed the innate Demon God Emperor."

"Though as young as he is, it seems likely that Xie Guixue will become the Demon God Emperor."

Su Muyao was also quite shocked, realizing she could wander in such dense demonic qi in the Demon Valley without any discomfort, all thanks to Zaizai.

Su Muyao placed her hand on Zaizai’s belly and gently stroked it, "Zaizai, thank you."

As soon as she said this, Su Muyao felt a slight kick where her palm rested.

"Oh..."

Upon hearing Su Muyao’s voice, Xie Guixue immediately became anxious, "What happened?"

Su Muyao grabbed Xie Guixue’s hand and placed it on her belly, "Feel for yourself."

Zaizai kicked, and Xie Guixue instantly felt his heart softened.

He dared not move his hand.

Yet, his eyes reddened, and the usually icy gaze brimmed with mist.

"Wife, thank you."

This was the crystallization of love; he loved Zaizai because he deeply loved his wife.

He felt like he now had ties, had a home.

Previously, he never experienced such a feeling.

Seeing Xie Guixue like this, Su Muyao’s heart softened, realizing what he went through, and thinking about his parents, felt even more tenderness for him.

She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Don’t say thank you, I love you, and I love our Zaizai too."

She adored the Zaizais, feeling content during pregnancy and childbirth in the Beast World without any discomfort.

Especially since the Zaizais were all so considerate and wonderful, just thinking about them made her heart melt.

She noticed that since Xie Guixue formed Emotional Silk and merged with it, he seemed to adopt some of Meng Qing’s temperament, no longer cold and indifferent, letting his emotions show a bit.

In the past, he was always so aloof, never expressing his thoughts.

Now it’s so much better.

Xie Guixue reached out, embracing Su Muyao, calming his excited mood.

They then continued moving forward.

The demonic qi was wild and ferocious, capable of engulfing and corroding everything, yet it was like encountering an innate taboo, or subdued by some mysterious force, retreating backward in unison.

Thick black fog peeled away layer by layer, rolling away to both sides swiftly, not daring to approach the two of them.

A straight, clean pathway opened up obediently ahead.

As the demonic qi retreated, the originally narrow and rugged Demon Valley, filled with jagged stones, revealed its true face.

Before them was no longer a barren, treacherous wasteland, but a broad and magnificent valley area.

At the center of the valley stood an impeccably structured round pool-like platform.

The pool platform was naturally formed, its edges smooth, with slight undulations in the center, the patterns appearing naturally, as if carved by the ancient gods themselves.

Despite its size, the round pool platform was empty, with only a silent desolation quietly occupying the heart of the valley, exuding an extreme sense of mystery.

Su Muyao’s expression shifted as she said, "Isn’t this the Nine Heavens Demon Pool, but there’s nothing here?"

"Isn’t it said that the Nine Heavens Demon Pool contains the Demon Clan’s origin power?"

"Or has it just not manifested yet?"

Xie Guixue, observing the scene, seemed provoked by some memory, triggering a transmission of inherited memories.

Xie Guixue focused intently and explained, "Indeed, it’s related to the Nine Heavens Demon Pool, but it probably hasn’t activated the trigger. Once the trigger is reached, the pool’s origin power will naturally manifest."

"It’s precisely because of its mysterious unpredictability that tests fate, that many Pure Blood Dark Beastmen come here but cannot find traces of the pool."

"Nor any sign of the Demon God Palace."

He felt that this was because his wife brought him here, which allowed the most mysterious part of the Demon Valley to open its path.

Just then, Su Muyao suddenly paused, her eyes flashing with a peculiar light.

A faint yet distinct mystical force permeated from the depth of the pool, gently entwining her Divine Soul.

The power was tender yet authoritative, carrying an ancient summoning transcending eons, like a calling of kinship, or a tug from destiny, silently infiltrating her entire being, evoking her spirit.

Her heart subtly moved, involuntarily gazing towards the forefront of the round pool platform.

In the next moment, a series of heavy black jade staircases emerged from the originally empty ground.

The stairs layered upon layers, winding upwards, inscribed with ancient, arcane talismans, emanating a faint glow, extending from the pool platform’s edge into the depths of the void, serene and majestic.

The summoning power grew stronger, as if an ancient voice gently whispered in the depths of her heart, guiding her forward.

Su Muyao looked towards Xie Guixue and said, "I feel the summoning power."

Xie Guixue gravely said, "There should be the Demon God Palace there."

Xie Guixue and Su Muyao glanced at each other, nodded, then held hands and together climbed the stairs, step by step moving upward.

Meanwhile, he tensed his body, mobilizing the dark superpower, ready to guard Su Muyao against any unforeseen crisis.
