Ascended Without Me: Cultivating with a Genius Son | Chapter 156 | Birth of the Blue Sable | Novela.app

"Mistress, take it back to the Dream Realm. I have a way to hatch it!" Jin Sang sent a mental transmission to Li Xue. Li Xue nodded and relayed the message to Li Lin and Yu Ming, who both agreed. Thus, Li Xue brought everyone into the Dream Realm, including Yun Mingxuan. Yun Mingxuan was startled. Seeing the scenery suddenly shift and feeling the dense spiritual energy rush toward him, his eyes widened in absolute shock. Ignoring the others, Jin Sang pulled the Blue Sable egg into his hand. With a flicker of teleportation, he vanished and reappeared at the deepest part of the riverbed. There lay a Cold Spring Eye. He placed the egg beside it and performed a divine seal, allowing the Blue Sable egg to begin its slow incubation. It took a long time for Yun Mingxuan to snap out of his daze, followed by a surge of joy. So everyone had been hiding here while he was wandering aimlessly outside—it was truly unfair. The others, however, acted as if this were perfectly ordinary. They ignored him and went about their business. "By the way, Mingxuan, if you want to restore your youth, I suggest you go for a swim in the river often," Li Xue said to him before returning to her cave dwelling. "Is it really that miraculous? I'll give it a try!" Yun Mingxuan dove straight into the river. A splash echoed, but he immediately scrambled back up, shouting, "Aya! There's a monster in the river!" It turned out the Ice Whale Beast had surfaced. Thinking Yun Mingxuan wanted to play, it was overjoyed. It called out, "Hey, why are you running? Look at my Ice Crystal Rain!" With a series of crashing sounds, a flurry of ice crystals chased Yun Mingxuan as he leaped and scurried through the Dream Realm, making the Ice Whale Beast laugh heartily. "Alright, Bingyan. When Xiao Yin comes out later, she'll make you perform plenty of Ice Crystal Rains," Yu Ming reminded it, unable to watch any longer. Bingyan immediately covered its mouth and dove back under the water. It had no desire to die from crystal exhaustion; clearly, the shadow left by Li Xue and her daughter still lingered. Li Xue, Li Lin, and Yu Ming were all preparing for the Friendship Pact with Yun Mingxuan. Once this was settled, they intended to head out for further experiential travels. Six months later, the Blue Sable finally hatched. A sparkling blue little sable appeared before everyone, exceptionally beautiful. "Is it really a female?" Dongfang Jing walked over, scooped up the little sable, and turned it over to inspect it closely. Then, he looked up and said, "It really is a female!" "Zhi!" The little sable quickly escaped Dongfang Jing's devilish clutches and dove into Yun Mingxuan's arms, trembling all over, clearly feeling aggrieved. "Dongfang Jing, you pervert! You've gone too far!" Yun Mingxuan glared at him. Li Lin glanced at Dongfang Jing, shook his head in disdain, and walked away. Yu Ming curled her lip and said coldly, "Dongfang Jing, you're really asking for a beating." She then flicked her sleeves and ignored him. Ji Rufeng also looked on with contempt. "Dongfang Jing, the Blue Sable is a divine beast, and a female one at that. You're going to have a hard time in the future!" Li Xue shrugged and shook her head helplessly, choosing not to get involved. Yun Xi turned her face away. *I don't know this master of mine. My master is the Mistress,* she told herself. Jin Sang remained calm and indifferent. He said to Yun Mingxuan, "Hurry and sign the Divine Beast Covenant." Yun Mingxuan gave Dongfang Jing another fierce glare before beginning the contract process with the Blue Sable. Dongfang Jing looked at everyone in confusion. He shrugged nonchalantly; he hadn't really done anything, so why were they all acting like this? In the end, he remained utterly baffled. Even Jin Sang couldn't stand it anymore and felt an urge to punch him. Finally, with a huff, he teleported back to his own cave dwelling. The Blue Sable was named Lan Xi—a name given by Li Xue, of course. From that moment on, a ten-thousand-year chasm opened between Lan Xi and Dongfang Jing. Even after Dongfang Jing became a Heavenly God presiding over the Snow God Palace millions of years later, he could not change Lan Xi’s prejudice against him. Truly, this resentment would stretch on without end. Only after Li Xue and Li Lin entered secluded cultivation in the Dream Realm and broke through to the Mid-Nascent Soul stage did they continue their journey. They arrived at a crimson, uninhabited planet. Li Xue and Li Lin flew carefully on their swords. This was a world crowded with volcanoes, and they were searching for fire-attribute spiritual items. Reaching a volcanic crater, they summoned their Nascent Soul Heart Armors. Li Xue wore the Luoxue Heart Armor, which was like snow and feathers, drifting and elegant, appearing faintly beneath her Cloud Feather Gauze Raiment. Li Lin summoned the Fanqing Heart Armor, solemn and majestic, making him look just like a heavenly god. Then, the Hidden Gloom Shield manifested to protect him. The two began to descend carefully into the volcano. In truth, once one reached the Nascent Soul stage, battles between cultivators became rare; who would engage in a life-and-death struggle for no reason? Therefore, for high-level cultivators, the real threat to life came from the terrifying forces of nature. Caution was a necessity during travels. Three thousand meters deep, the interior was filled with magma. The temperature had reached over a thousand degrees, but fortunately, a cultivator's defenses were powerful, so this heat was of little consequence. "Mother, look, what is that?" Li Lin pointed toward a fiery red molten lava pool. "Could it be Fire Molten Lotuses? They look like it, but they aren't mature yet," Li Xue said, standing by the pool. "They probably won't ripen for another six months. It's impossible for us to return here then," Li Lin noted. "True. In that case, there's nothing more to say. We'll just move them into the Dream Realm!" Li Xue was no saint; when she found heavenly treasures, she naturally took them. Li Xue performed a seal to summon Jin Sang. Upon seeing the Fire Molten Lotuses, Jin Sang smiled. "Perfect. Until we find a Fire Spirit, these Fire Molten Lotuses are enough to support the fire spiritual energy in the current Dream Realm. We can even maintain a volcano." As he spoke, his hands flew through several divine seals, intending to move the entire volcano into the Dream Realm. "Ah, you're moving the whole volcano? We should be fair; let's just take the Fire Molten Lotuses," Li Xue said hurriedly. Jin Sang’s mouth twitched. "Mistress, the Fire Molten Lotuses are the foundation of this volcano. Once they are gone, this will just be an ordinary mountain." "Oh, then move it!" Li Xue replied. Since they had found it, it was simply the misfortune of those who came after to have no fated opportunity here. After a thunderous roar, the entire volcano vanished. A massive pit appeared on the crimson planet, stretching for thousands of miles. Under Jin Sang's management, the spiritual energy cycle within the Dream Realm was becoming increasingly smooth. The volcano was moved directly to the northeastern mountain range of the Dream Realm. Jin Sang then arranged a Spirit-Attracting Array upon it. The fire spiritual energy from the volcano flowed continuously into the Dream Realm, merging and cycling with the other elemental energies, endlessly regenerating. "Mm, now the spiritual energy is barely acceptable," Jin Sang said with a slight nod. Hearing this, Li Xue and Li Lin’s mouths twitched repeatedly. If this place was considered "barely acceptable," then the spiritual energy in the regular Cultivation World could only be considered garbage.
