Chapter 383: Chapter 382: Getting Married Due to Pregnancy (Third Update, Please Subscribe)
Sitting upright on the chair, True Monarch Ziyun poured tea and took a sip from the cup.
True Monarch Ziyun hesitated slightly.
After pondering for a long time, True Monarch Ziyun said, "If there were no unexpected events, I would not oppose marrying into the East Sea Dragon Palace. However, not long ago, while exploring a secret realm within the Divine Water Palace, I was plotted against by my fellow sect members. If not for the timely appearance of Xian’Er, I might have been humiliated by scoundrels. Moreover, I recently discovered that I am pregnant... In this situation, besides marrying Xian’Er, who else can I marry?"
As she spoke, True Monarch Ziyun’s expression turned bitter, and she unconsciously touched her belly.
"May I check?"
"You may!"
True Monarch Ziyun extended her wrist.
Lu Xuanji placed his fingers on it and began the check, sensing a fetus lightly moving and making subtle noises within the abdomen of the True Monarch.
Though very young, the fetus was full of vitality.
Watching this scene, Lu Xuanji was slightly speechless.
At this point, True Monarch Ziyun could only have a marriage because of the child.
In the Cultivation Immortality Realm, except for a few exceptions, most female cultivators uphold chastity. Now, having lost her purity and being pregnant, marriage is inevitable, and refusing is impossible.
Especially for female cultivators who reach the Nascent Soul Realm, their chances of becoming pregnant significantly decrease.
"Congratulations!"
Lu Xuanji said.
True Monarch Ziyun said, "Dao Companion, what do you think of my Divine Water Palace?"
Lu Xuanji said, "The Divine Water Palace, ruler of the East Sea!"
"Our Divine Water Palace was established less than five thousand years ago by a Void Refining Powerhouse, and now a Divinity Transformation cultivator oversees it, making it a formidable force. Yet, it remains inferior to the East Sea Dragon Palace," True Monarch Ziyun said. "According to legends, the East Sea Dragon Palace has been established for as long as three hundred thousand years. Throughout this process, numerous powerhouses have arisen, contending with Human Race powerhouses, and many Immortal beings have even ascended!"
"It is said that now, within the East Sea Dragon Palace, there are top-tier powerhouses sleeping therein. If this heritage were revealed, it could sweep aside our Divine Water Palace! These slumbering powerhouses are awaiting a timing, appearing only when Spiritual Qi is at its densest and the laws are most active. By then, they will proceed to fight intensely to seize the destiny lurking in the shadows, to capture the opportunity to become Immortals!"
"Not long ago, Divine Water Palace came seeking marriage, but I refused. Now, our Lu Family may have offended the Divine Water Palace."
"No problem!"
Lu Xuanji laughed and said, "Could it be that the Divine Water Palace would dispatch Divinity Transformation cultivators to annihilate our Lu Family? Once on the Eastern Wilderness, amidst Human Race territory, even the East Sea Dragon Palace would have to choose silence. But my son cannot become a son-in-law."
"I don’t care about these things, yet those stubborn old ones from the Divine Water Palace will surely speak of rules!"
True Monarch Ziyun said.
"By the way, tell me about the structure of the Divine Water Palace and the situation with the top-tier powerhouses!" Lu Xuanji asked.
"In the Divine Water Palace, some Divinity Transformation elders are traveling outside, some are in seclusion, and some are rumored to have passed away outside. Mainly, it’s the Nascent Soul True Monarchs handling various matters!" True Monarch Ziyun said, "Currently, the Divine Water Palace has eight Nascent Soul True Monarchs in charge, among which five Nascent Soul True Monarchs are either guarding certain secret realms or are in seclusion."
"My main opponent is True Monarch Biyun, who is in the third layer of the Nascent Soul. Back when I was at the Golden Core stage, I was repeatedly oppressed by them, even directly bypassed by her and betrothed to a dragon prodigy from the East Sea Dragon Palace. Only after I became a Nascent Soul True Monarch and the Supreme Elder of the Divine Water Palace did I qualify to stand as an equal with her!"
"Yet in terms of cultivation, I am still inferior, lacking confidence when speaking!"
True Monarch Ziyun spoke extensively of the internal matters, revealing the power structure of the Divine Water Palace, discussing the open and secret conflicts, and disclosing certain schemes covertly devised.
At this moment, Lu Xian was also invited in.
Lu Xuanji spoke, revealing some inside information candidly and straightforwardly.
Considering himself as a new father soon, about to marry because of the child, Lu Xian frowned slightly, quite unwilling. Yet under the fierce gaze of his father, he chose silence.
If he refuses.
His father will personally act, teaching him what a man’s responsibility means.
...
Soon afterward, the news of True Monarch Ziyun’s marriage to a Golden Core cultivator spread.
Spread across the Divine Water Palace.
Some are stomping and lamenting; the goddess is getting married. Some verbally express congratulations but internally curse.
No matter the expression, the goddess is getting married, and many cultivators can only offer blessings, even though it is very bitter within.
On Wanguai Island, within a certain cave mansion, a female cultivator exited the cave mansion.
The female cultivator wore a gold dress, beneath which a white shirt faintly showed, a slender waist with a gold belt tied, a few silk threads hanging down from both sides, revealing a trace of elegance amid grandeur. Her snow-white skin appeared crystalline like jade; her long neck akin to a swan.
The large bulge was exceptionally saintly and attractive.
The flawless body lines emitted an astonishing beauty.
As she exited the cave mansion, maids immediately arrived, offering tea and refreshments.
Sipping tea, the female cultivator asked, "Has anything major happened recently?"
The maid replied, "Not long ago, Ziyun True Master reached Nascent Soul, becoming True Monarch Ziyun. Not only that, shortly after, she intends to become Dao companion with a Golden Core True Master from the Eastern Wilderness."
"Ziyun progressing to True Monarch is a good thing!"
The female cultivator nodded, "But first canceling the marriage, then arranging another. This is a slap to the East Sea Dragon Palace’s face; the matter is rather troublesome! I must persuade her a bit, lest she acts impulsively!"
As she spoke, her figure flickered and vanished.
The female cultivator was precisely True Monarch Biyun.
...
With a flash of her steps, True Monarch Biyun vanished.
Momentarily arriving before the cave mansion.
"Ziyun, come out!"
Before the cave mansion, True Monarch Biyun called.
Soon the gate of the cave mansion opened, and a man and a woman walked out, responding to each other like a married couple.
Seeing that man, True Monarch Biyun felt intense displeasure, wishing to step forward and kill him.
Yet gritting her teeth, she endured.
"Biyun, don’t be impulsive, don’t be annoyed. Do you really plan to marry this boy?" True Monarch Biyun questioned.
"I already have his child?"
True Monarch Ziyun responded, "Senior, please allow it!"
"Allow!"
True Monarch Jade expressed sorrowfully, "You don’t even call me aunt anymore! After reaching True Monarch, not only did your cultivation improve, but your courage also expanded! You no longer heed my words!"
True Monarch Ziyun responded, "I will eventually grow up; now I am of True Monarch cultivation, even though inferior to Aunt, I am also the Supreme Elder of the Divine Water Palace. I have rights and the qualification to make choices for myself and decide my own fate. Aunt, please refrain from interfering!"
"If there is more interference, we will become enemies!"
As she spoke, her expression gradually turned colder.
