The Azure Dragon is one of the Four Divine Beasts.
Well-informed as it was.
Therefore.
Upon hearing that its daughter was remarkable.
Chen Nan's heart instantly quickened.
Before the Azure Dragon could speak.
He looked at everyone in the sleeping quarters: "Except for the Empress, everyone else, leave."
Although he had not yet forgiven the Empress.
She was, after all, the child's mother.
She had an obligation to know all news about her daughter.
"All of you, leave," the Empress commanded.
Then she took the infant from the maid's arms.
"Brother-in-law, I'm about to become your warming-bed maid. Is there anything I cannot hear?" Ling Yanran pouted.
"If you act like this, I guarantee I'll put ice cubes in your bedding."
The Empress forced a smile: "Let Yanran stay."
Chen Nan said nothing and looked at his chest: "Speak, what exactly is with my daughter?"
The Azure Dragon's tone was solemn: "If I am not mistaken, this lass is a rare Innate Dao Embryo."
Boom!
At these words.
Chen Nan, the Empress, and Ling Yanran all gasped in unison.
They had never heard of an Innate Dao Embryo.
But with their experiences, they could sense the extraordinary nature of these four words.
After all, anything connected to "innate" since ancient times was extraordinary.
Let alone their daughter being an Innate Dao Embryo.
The Azure Dragon continued: "The Innate Dao Embryo is the strongest physique, the most powerful existence among all physiques."
"Even the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body is powerful, but it pales in comparison to the Innate Dao Embryo."
"Up to this day, only one instance has appeared."
"That would be Ancestor Hongjun."
"This kind of physique does not require cultivation; as long as one lives, they will become stronger."
"Step by step, they will become a sage."
Chen Nan and the other two felt goosebumps rise all over their bodies.
Ancestor Hongjun was known as the strongest sage!
Was the little lass's physique that terrifying?
"Do not celebrate too early," the Azure Dragon continued. "Normally, this lass would undergo a thousand years of lengthy development within the Empress's womb."
"However, because the little lass was born prematurely by more than nine hundred years, the development of the Innate Dao Embryo is not complete."
"It is feared she will find it difficult to become a cultivator."
The Azure Dragon's words were like a bucket of cold water doused over the three of them.
Making them shiver with cold.
The Empress slumped onto the phoenix couch, powerless, tears streaming down her face: "It's all my fault, all my fault. I shouldn't have let my daughter be born so early."
She was the high and mighty Empress of the Snow Kingdom.
One of the Eight Supremes of the human race.
But now.
She had the added identity of a mother.
Upon learning that her daughter's Innate Dao Embryo development was incomplete, boundless guilt and self-blame surged within her.
She had failed her daughter.
And even more so, she had failed Chen Nan.
Ling Yanran also choked back sobs: "Sister, it's not your fault, it's mine. If I had told Brother-in-law about your pregnancy when you were in the Yan Kingdom, he would have definitely come to my Snow Kingdom, and the demons would never have attacked."
Chen Nan's face was filled with ferocity, his voice low: "Crying, crying? Is there anything else you can do besides cry?"
He was already agitated.
Let alone the Empress and Ling Yanran weeping incessantly.
If he weren't afraid of scaring his daughter.
He would have already lost his temper.
Chen Nan calmed the restlessness in his heart and asked, "Is there any way to restore the little lass's Innate Dao Embryo to completeness?"
Even so.
He knew.
There was likely no way in the world to restore his daughter's Innate Dao Embryo.
Azure Dragon: "Yes."
"What? There really is?" Chen Nan's eyes blazed with fervor, never expecting there to be a way to restore his daughter's Innate Dao Embryo to completeness.
The Empress and Ling Yanran's beautiful eyes also revealed expressions of disbelief.
Followed by joy.
The Azure Dragon said: "As far as I know, there is a Chaos Sacred Medicine in each of the Human, Demon, and Devil realms."
"As long as one can obtain those three Chaos Sacred Medicines."
"They can be refined into the Three-Life Creation Pill."
"Three lives, ten thousand things, eternal renewal."
"This medicine can cure any congenital developmental deficiencies."
"I have the formula."
"You can now seek those three sacred medicines."
"Remember, you must find the three sacred medicines within twelve years and refine them into a pill."
"If you exceed twelve years, even if you refine the Three-Life Creation Pill, it will not be able to cure the little princess's condition."
"I understand."
Chen Nan solemnly agreed.
Regarding his daughter's life.
He dared not be careless or perfunctory.
The Empress said softly: "I have heard that the human race has a sacred medicine, located on the Central Continent. Only the Human Emperor knows its whereabouts."
Chen Nan's mind raced.
There were three sacred medicines in the Immortal Realm.
He was now the ruler of the Demon Realm.
He could completely have the Demon Realm send that sacred medicine over.
The Human Emperor had one.
Although the Human Emperor wished to use him as a pawn.
He was utterly fearless.
And was confident he could defeat him and seize that sacred medicine.
This meant.
He only needed to obtain the sacred medicine from the Devil Realm to refine the Three-Life Creation Pill for his daughter.
However.
How could he obtain the sacred medicine from the Devil Realm?
He had no clue.
"Wah!"
Without any warning, the little one in the swaddling clothes let out a high-pitched cry.
Her eyes closed, her originally rosy little face turned flushed red.
The Empress was at a loss.
Chen Nan was also at a loss.
Ling Yanran, however, was somewhat calm and quickly said: "Sister, the baby must be hungry. Hurry and let her feed."
"Oh, okay." The Empress snapped back to attention amidst her panic.
Just as she was about to lift her clothes.
She saw Chen Nan staring intently at her.
A blush appeared on her face.
Chen Nan was furious yet amused: "Are you feeling shy now?"
"Truly despicable."
"If you knew this day would come, why did you act like that back then?"
"When you treated me that way, you weren't shy at all."
"I'll tell you, you're lucky to be living in the Immortal Realm."
"If you were on Earth, based on what you did, the law would have already judged you."
"You are a fucking qjf."
He never liked the Empress in the first place.
He couldn't forget what the Empress had done to him.
The only reason he was willing to give her a chance was for his daughter's sake.
But the Empress's affected behavior once again infuriated him.
Ling Yanran was displeased and spoke up for her sister: "Brother-in-law, how can you say that about my sister? No matter what, she gave birth to a daughter for you..."
The Empress's eyes were red: "Stop talking, I wronged him."
"You can feed her here, I'll go out first," Chen Nan huffed impatiently and turned to leave the Empress's sleeping quarters.
He had a room arranged.
And directly entered the Immortal Mansion.
Refining the Divine Pill would allow him to open the seventh level of the Immortal Mansion.
Before, there was no time due to the rush, and he couldn't open the Immortal Mansion.
And now.
It was time to open the seventh level of the Immortal Mansion.
And see what clues there were about becoming a sage.
"Congratulations, Brother Chen, on having a daughter."
As soon as he entered the Immortal Mansion, Nie Yao came to congratulate him.
She had been cultivating in the Immortal Mansion all along and was aware of the events outside.
Chen Nan smiled and said, "If you're bored in the Immortal Mansion, you can go and help me look after the child."
Nie Yao's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
"Alright, I'll take you out later," Chen Nan said as he entered the entrance to the seventh level of the Immortal Mansion, took out the refined Supreme Yuan Pill, and placed it in the fist-sized indentation.
Boom!
The moment the stone door slowly opened.
A terrifying demonic energy rushed towards him.
Chen Nan was greatly surprised.
Could the seventh level be imprisoning a powerful demon?
