Shen Yuan Ring

Southwest River Basin.

Daoshu (zhu) City.

Daoshu City is a city on the edge of the Southwest River Basin with a population of tens of millions. This is because Daoshu City is close to the Wangqiu Desert and the Tagalag Forest of Monsters, making it the most popular training ground in the entire Southwest River Basin.

In this Daoist City, there are four major families, each with an ancestor who is at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. As a result, they have continued to pass down their lineage for thousands of years.

The peaceful Daoshu City was shattered fifty years ago by a powerful figure surnamed Ji, Ji Gu, the head of the Ji family and also the strongest member of the Ji family.

In one day, he visited the four major families in succession, and all four families happily agreed to make the Ji family the fifth major family in Daoshu City.

Outsiders assumed that with the Ji family becoming the fifth family, Daoshu City would definitely undergo a reshuffle. However, the Ji family only opened five shops in Daoshu City, and established their family headquarters near Black Wind Mountain, fifteen miles away from Daoshu City.

Although Black Wind Mountain is not small, there are no usable resources on the entire mountain. Apart from some vegetation, there are only a few scattered monsters. Therefore, no other forces have taken a liking to Black Wind Mountain.

The Ji family quickly incorporated Black Wind Mountain into their territory, ensuring that establishing a family there would not offend other forces.

It's not that the Ji family didn't want to occupy good locations; the main problem was that their patriarch, Ji Gu, was less than a hundred years old, and there were only three elders left who had reached the Divine Realm. The rest were all low-level cultivators in the Body Refining and Qi Gathering stages of the younger generation.

For the Ji family, the best course of action is to recuperate and rebuild, so that they can better revive the family business.

The other four families also saw that the Ji family was so sensible in choosing Black Wind Mountain. Apart from making them wary of Ji Gu, they were not a threat to the others. Otherwise, even with Ji Gu's military power, they could have secretly made it difficult for the Ji family to gain a foothold in Daoshu City.

The Ji family has been in Daoshu City for fifty years. After decades of development, the other four clans have gradually come to acknowledge the existence of the Ji family.

After all, the four major families are also in competition. If there are enough benefits, why not make progress together?

In March of the Yuan Emperor's reign, after fifty years of accumulation, the Ji family had returned to normalcy. Therefore, Ji Gu passed the position of clan leader to his grandson Ji Hai, and then went into seclusion with a group of elders who had reached the Divine Realm.

......

"Master, the lady is about to give birth!" A guard rushed in to report.

Upon hearing this, Ji Hai hurriedly went home alone. When he arrived, he heard Ye Li's painful cries of labor coming from inside the room. Helpless, he could only pace anxiously back and forth outside the door.

Suddenly, Ji Hai felt the space fluctuate, and a beam of light pierced through the air and shot directly into the room.

Then he saw the house in front of him emitting bursts of white light, followed by a seven-colored divine light that instantly enveloped the entire house. Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and he noticed that the birds flying in the sky were completely motionless.

Ji Hai was shocked and prepared to go forward to investigate, but he found that apart from his thoughts being able to function normally, his body was also unable to move, just like a bird in the sky.

Then I saw countless phantom images of the Great Dao appearing and respectfully worshipping, as if they were respectfully welcoming their master.

While Ji Hai was completely shocked by the scene before him, his cultivation level was also rapidly advancing. In the blink of an eye, he went from the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm to the perfect Nascent Soul Realm, and finally stopped at the early stage of the Divine Realm.

"Wow...!"

A baby's cry rang out from inside the house, and a moment later the door was slowly opened by the maid Chunxiang.

The seven-colored light and the phantom of the Great Dao that had appeared earlier dissipated with the sound of crying, and the birds were able to fly normally again. If it weren't for the fact that he could clearly feel that he had entered the Divine Realm, Ji Hai would have thought that he had just been hallucinating due to his nervousness.

Ji Hai, still in shock, was awakened by the sound of the maid opening the door.

"Master, Madam has given birth to a handsome young master. Qiuya and Xiatian are attending to Madam and the young master. I'll go check on the ginseng soup that Dongju prepared." Chunxiang said as she came out of the house and saw Jihai at the door.

After listening, Ji Hai nodded and happily walked into the house.

Ji Hai came into the room and took the child from Qiu Ya's hands. He found that his child not only didn't cry, but also stared straight at him, and then laughed happily.

"Master, the young master is not only not crying or making a fuss, he's really well-behaved," Xia Tian said happily from the side.

"Ah Li, look how much this child's eyes resemble yours! So handsome, he'll surely charm countless young women when he grows up," Ji Hai said to his already weakened wife on the bed, holding the child and occasionally chuckling.

Ji Hai then happily carried the child to sit down next to his wife. Initially, the child did not notice that Ye Li's aura was stronger than his own, clearly indicating that he had just broken through and his aura was weak and leaking out.

"Ah Li, you've broken through to a higher realm too, and you're even stronger than me now," Ji Hai said sourly, looking at his charming wife beside him with her hair soaked in sweat.

"Yes, I didn't expect it either. Just now, the moment the baby was about to be born, time seemed to stand still. Then my cultivation level broke through from the mid-stage of Nascent Soul to the mid-stage of Divine Transformation. Not only was it a breakthrough in cultivation level, but I also didn't feel weak after giving birth." Ali looked at the baby in Ji Hai's arms with a face full of maternal love.

"He's really our little lucky star." Ali stroked the child's chubby little face. "Ah Hai, what do you think we should name our child?"

"Qiuya, Xia Tian, ​​you are both close to us. Go down and tell Chunxiang that nothing that happened here today is to be told to anyone else, understand?" Ji Hai instructed.

Xia Tian and Qiu Ya quickly made their promises and left the room.

"Now, both of us have made breakthroughs in our cultivation due to the birth of our child. This is a gift from heaven. I have never heard of any family whose parents have made breakthroughs in their cultivation because of the birth of their child. This also shows that our child's origin is not simple. There were extraordinary phenomena at the moment of his birth, and his closest relatives made breakthroughs directly. Our Ji family may even be revived because of his existence."

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine, and Man escapes to one, which means that tomorrow will bring prosperity to my Ji family. Dao... one, Dao one, what do you say about naming our child Dao one?" Ji Hai smiled broadly, as if he could see the moment when several families would return to their peak.

"Dao Yi, Ji Dao Yi." Ali rested his head on Ji Hai's shoulder, his fair, slender fingers gently stroking Ji Dao Yi's nose, causing Dao Yi to cry out loudly.

......

Daoyuanhai.

This is the origin of the laws in the Yuan Realm. Only Saint Realm experts can enter the depths of the Dao Source Sea to cultivate at any time, while Dao Master Realm experts can only comprehend the laws on the outer perimeter of the Dao Source Sea.

All the Venerables above the Saint Realm sensed it at the same time. Countless laws and rules of the Great Dao intertwined and rotated in the depths of the Dao Source Sea, forming a huge sphere. The enormous sphere of laws was also rapidly shrinking into a bead. The surface of this bead had a seven-colored luster that flowed like water, and the beads stuck together and eventually turned white.

A flash of white light, and it disappeared into the sky.

At the same time, the Earth Saint Venerables all made their moves, each displaying their unique abilities, while even the Human Saint Venerable was waiting for his opportunity.

However, the Sacred Pearl seemed unaffected by the power of the Venerable's laws, directly breaking through the Venerable's defenses and disappearing without a trace.

"Old monster of heavenly secrets, quickly calculate where that sacred pearl is now," a red-faced Earth Saint Venerable asked.

"Let me calculate." The Celestial Mystery Venerable had just begun his calculations when he spat out a mouthful of blood.

An aura of the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man then appeared on Venerable Tianji.

All the Venerables gasped upon seeing this. Not only could the Holy Pearl not be captured using the power of laws, but even a simple deduction of it could cause a Venerable at the Earthly Saint Realm to suffer the Tribulation of the Five Signs of Decay.

It's important to understand that the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man is a tribulation that occurs once every five thousand years for a Saint Realm expert. If one fails to overcome it, they either perish or have a wisp of the power of a rule dissolved to offset the tribulation. After dissolving the rule, the difficulty of comprehending that rule again is several times greater than before.

"Alas, it seems such treasures are not meant for us. It seems some great event is about to occur in the near future," said one of the Venerable Ones.

Upon hearing this, all the Venerable Ones lost their will to comprehend the power of the rules and returned to their own homes.
