Another Dimensional Immortal Cultivation Tale: The Divine Doctor Against the Heavens

Chapter 260: The Jade Pendant Mystery and the Mysterious Baby

"My God! What's going on? How come there's a baby here that looks just like Ningning?" Lin Yihai's eyes widened like saucers, his mouth gaped open enough to fit an egg, and he shouted at the top of his lungs. His voice echoed through the empty and mysterious space, making everyone's ears ring. As he shouted, he rubbed his eyes hard, afraid that he was seeing things, and even pinched his arm, wincing in pain, before confirming that he wasn't dreaming.

Xiaoqian sat in her wheelchair, leaning forward, her hands gripping the armrests tightly until her knuckles turned white. Her eyes were fixed on the baby floating beside the jade pendant fragments, her face filled with shock and confusion. "This is too bizarre! How can there be such an identical one… Could it be Ningning's twin sister? But this place doesn't look like a place where a child could be born!" She muttered to herself, shaking her head unconsciously, seemingly unable to comprehend this strange phenomenon.

Hai Tian stood beside Yun Hai, gripping the War God's Sword tightly in his hand. The sword trembled slightly, not out of fear, but because the sudden turn of events had left him somewhat bewildered. "Yun Hai, what... what exactly happened?" He turned to look at Yun Hai, his voice tinged with unease. At this moment, the War God's power around him had lost its previous imposing aura, as if he were stunned by this mysterious scene.

Yunhai held Ningning in her arms, the little one whispering in her mind, "Mommy, why does that baby look so much like me? Who is she?" Yunhai gently stroked Ningning's head, trying to reassure her, but her own mind was a mess. "Baby, don't be afraid, Mommy doesn't know either. Let's see what happens first." She said this, but her eyes never left the mysterious baby, her gaze full of vigilance and doubt.

The ancient guardian stood to the side, watching the astonished expressions of the crowd. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a profound and enigmatic smile appearing on his face, a smile that seemed to conceal countless secrets, making it impossible to fathom. "It seems you have all witnessed this mysterious scene. The appearance of this infant is closely related to the jade pendant fragments, and also concerns the fate of the entire universe." His voice was deep and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of ancient times, each word carrying a profound sense of vicissitude.

Yunhai took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. Then she looked up at the ancient guardian and asked with a firm gaze, "Senior, what is the origin of this baby? Why is it with the jade pendant fragments, and why does it look so much like my daughter?" As she spoke, she quickly recalled everything she had learned on her path of cultivation, from modern military knowledge and traditional Chinese medicine classics, trying to find clues to explain everything. But her mind was a mess, and she couldn't understand anything.

The ancient guardian sighed softly and slowly said, "This infant is actually the embodiment of the primordial power of the universe. In ancient times, at the very beginning of the universe's birth, in order to maintain balance, this mysterious power was created to protect the universe. And the jade pendant fragment is the key to sealing and guiding this power." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the floating jade pendant fragment. The light from the jade pendant fragment seemed to flicker even more intensely because of his movement, as if echoing his words.

"Then what does this have to do with us saving the universe?" Lin Yihai scratched his head, looking completely bewildered. He felt like he was trapped in a huge mystery, unable to escape.

The ancient guardian glanced at Lin Yihai and said, "The power of the Chaos Shadow is growing stronger every day, attempting to disrupt the balance of the universe. Only by collecting all five jade pendant fragments and awakening this primordial power of the universe can we contend with it. And the fragment in your hands is a crucial one." Although his voice was calm, every word struck the hearts of everyone like a heavy hammer.

Yunhai frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Senior, you said to awaken the power of the universe's origin, but this baby seems to have no consciousness right now. What should we do?" As she spoke, she looked at the baby, and a strange sense of intimacy welled up in her heart, as if the baby and she were inextricably linked.

The ancient guardian was silent for a moment before saying, "This requires you to use your own power to resonate with the jade pendant fragments, guiding the energy within and injecting it into the infant's body. But this process is extremely dangerous; the slightest mistake will cause your power to backfire, and could even endanger your lives." A hint of worry appeared in his eyes, as if he was concerned about whether everyone had the courage and ability to face this enormous challenge.

Hai Tian gripped the Sword of the God of War, took a step forward, and said firmly, "To save the universe, to protect Yun Hai and Ning Ning, no matter how dangerous it is, I am willing to try!" His voice was full of power, as if he was declaring his determination to the whole world.

Lin Yihai was not to be outdone. He clenched his fists and shouted, "Count me in! My life was given to me by everyone. I'll fight to save the universe!" His face was full of passion and enthusiasm, and his eyes revealed a fearless courage.

Xiaoqian bit her lip. Although she was afraid, she nodded firmly and said, "I will do my best to assist everyone with technology." Her eyes shone with determination. Despite being in a wheelchair, it did not affect her resolve to participate in this battle.

Looking at her companions, Yunhai was filled with emotion. She hugged Ningning tightly and said, "Baby, Mommy has to do something very important. Be a good girl and wait for Mommy in the medical space, okay?" Ningning nodded obediently and said, "Mommy, be careful. I'll wait for you to come back." After saying that, she disappeared into Yunhai's medical space.

Yunhai took a deep breath, looked at Haitian, Lin Yihai, and Xiaoqian, and said, "Let's begin. Xiaoqian, use the technology to monitor our energy fluctuations and remind us as needed. Haitian, use the power of the God of War to protect our bodies and prevent energy backlash. Lin Yihai, your lightning magic is powerful; provide support at crucial moments. I'll guide the energy of the jade pendant fragments." Everyone nodded and began to act according to Yunhai's instructions.

Yunhai walked to the jade pendant fragments, stretched out her hands, and gently touched them. Instantly, a powerful energy surged into her body through her arms, making her feel as if her body was about to burst. She gritted her teeth, trying to control the energy, guiding its flow within her body according to the principles of Yin and Yang harmony in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic.

Hai Tian stood behind Yun Hai, gripping the Sword of the War God with both hands, channeling the power of the War God into Yun Hai's body to support her. His forehead was covered in sweat, but his eyes were incredibly firm, fixed on Yun Hai, as if afraid that something might happen to her.

Lin Yihai stood to the side, his hands gathering lightning, ready at any moment. His eyes were fixed on the sea of ​​clouds and the jade pendant fragments; he would act immediately should any danger arise.

Xiaoqian sat in her wheelchair, her eyes fixed on the technological equipment, her fingers flying across the keyboard. "Yunhai, your energy fluctuations are a bit unstable. Adjust your breathing, follow the breathing techniques in the *Huangdi Neijing* to stabilize your mind," she anxiously reminded Yunhai while looking at the data.

Yunhai took a deep breath, regulated her breathing, and calmed her mind following Xiaoqian's instructions. Gradually, she felt the energy within her body begin to stabilize and resonate with the energy of the jade pendant fragment. She guided this resonating energy, slowly moving it closer to the baby.

The moment the energy touched the infant, the baby's body trembled slightly, and the surrounding light became even more dazzling. Seeing this, Yunhai was overjoyed and increased his energy output. However, at that moment, a powerful backlash suddenly struck, and Yunhai felt as if his body was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, rendering him unable to move.

"Oh no! Yunhai is in danger!" Hai Tian roared, increasing the output of his War God power in an attempt to help Yunhai withstand the backlash. Lin Yihai also immediately took action, injecting lightning into Yunhai's body to enhance her power.

Xiaoqian stared nervously at the equipment and shouted, "Everyone, hold on! I've discovered that this backlash is because our energy doesn't perfectly match the baby's energy attributes. We need to find a balance." As she spoke, she quickly analyzed the data, trying to find a solution.

Yunhai gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain in her body, and quickly recalled various medical and cultivation knowledge in her mind. Suddenly, she remembered the "Way of Opening and Closing" from the book "Guiguzi," and tried to adjust the frequency and attributes of her own energy to find a balance point with the energy of the infant.

After a series of difficult attempts, Yunhai finally found the balance. She guided the energy and slowly poured it into the baby's body. The baby's body began to emit a soft light, and its previously closed eyes slowly opened.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the baby open her eyes. However, before they could rejoice for long, the baby suddenly cried out, and a powerful energy surge emanated from her body, blasting everyone away.

"What... what's wrong now?" Lin Yihai got up from the ground and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

The ancient guardian looked at the infant, his expression turning grave. He said, "It seems that some changes have occurred after the primordial power of the universe was awakened. This infant's power exceeds our imagination; she seems to have been subjected to some kind of interference."

Yunhai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up, and said, "No matter what, we can't give up. Senior, do you know where this interference is coming from?"

The ancient guardian shook his head and said, "I don't know either. But I can sense that the power of this interference is very strong, and it is somewhat similar to the aura of the Chaos Shadow."

Everyone fell into deep thought after hearing this. Suddenly, Xiaoqian exclaimed, "I think I've found a clue! Through equipment analysis, the energy fluctuations of this interference are very similar to a mysterious energy we previously discovered at the Time and Space Administration Bureau."

Yunhai's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Could the Time and Space Administration be involved in all of this? They've been disrupting the balance of the universe all along; could they be behind this one too?"

The ancient guardian frowned and said, "If that's the case, things are troublesome. The Time and Space Administration possesses advanced technology and powerful forces; what exactly is their purpose?"

Just as everyone was wondering, the baby suddenly started crying again, and her body began to become transparent, as if she was about to disappear.

"Oh no, the baby is disappearing!" Hai Tian roared and rushed towards the baby.

Yunhai quickly followed, running while searching the medical space for herbs that could stabilize the baby's energy. Suddenly, she remembered a herb called "Lingxi Tranquilizing Grass," which was said to stabilize the mind and harmonize energy. She quickly took out the herb, crushed it, and sprinkled the juice onto the baby.

As soon as the herbal juice touched the baby, the baby's body became transparent, and the crying gradually stopped. However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the surrounding space suddenly began to shake violently, and cracks appeared in the ground and walls, as if the entire ruins were about to collapse.

The ancient guardian's expression changed drastically. He exclaimed, "This is bad! This ruin can't withstand the energy fluctuations of the infant. It's about to collapse! We must leave here as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, everyone rushed towards the exit. However, the exit was blocked by a huge rock, and they couldn't open it no matter what they did.

"What are we going to do? If we can't get out, we'll all be buried here!" Lin Yihai shouted anxiously.

Looking at the crumbling walls and ground around her, Yunhai suddenly had an idea. She remembered the phrase "put yourself in a desperate situation and you will survive" from Sun Tzu's Art of War, and decided to take the risk. She said to everyone, "Don't panic, everyone. Let's use our strength to attack this rock. Maybe we can open a way out."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Hai Tian brandished the Sword of the War God and slashed at the stone; Lin Yi Hai released lightning and shot it towards the stone; Xiao Qian used her technological equipment to fire energy beams at the stone. Yun Hai mobilized the spiritual power within his body, merging it with the power of the others to form a powerful impact.

With everyone working together, a gap was finally blasted open in the rock. The group quickly rushed out through the gap.

Just as they ran out of the ruins, a loud crash came from behind them, and the entire ruins collapsed. Everyone stared at the collapsed ruins, still shaken.

"We've finally escaped, but the matter of the power of the universe's origin and the jade pendant fragments hasn't been resolved yet. What should we do next?" Lin Yihai sighed and said.

Yunhai looked at the jade pendant fragment in his hand, then at the baby in his arms, and said firmly, "No matter how difficult it is, we must find the truth and save the universe. Since all of this is related to the Time and Space Administration, let's start with them."

Just then, the baby suddenly reached out its little hand and grasped Yunhai's finger, a smile appearing on its face. This smile warmed Yunhai's heart and strengthened her resolve.

However, unbeknownst to them, after they left, a black light flashed across the ruins, as if something was watching them from the shadows, and an even greater crisis was quietly approaching...
