Three days later.
The Willow God pushed Shi Hao out of her embrace, her face a picture of helplessness.
“Shi Hao, it’s already been three days. You can go to the Upper Realm now,” she said, her tone resigned.
She knew humans were passionate about matters of the flesh, but Shi Hao was simply too much.
He had been dual cultivating with her for three consecutive days.
While she understood his desperate wish to impregnate her, the sheer disparity in their power levels left her feeling utterly exasperated.
Though she hadn’t fully recovered, her foundation was still that of an Immortal King Giant.
Shi Hao hadn’t even ignited his Divine Fire yet, yet he expected her to conceive.
The absurdity of it all left her caught between laughter and tears.
She couldn’t help but feel he was deliberately prolonging this, simply to indulge in her body.
Hearing her words, Shi Hao replied without a moment’s thought, “It’s only been three days. There’s no rush. We should at least do this for a month, right? A month is enough time to see if you’ve conceived.”
Cradled in the Willow God’s arms, Shi Hao greedily inhaled her fragrance.
Ever since she had transformed into a woman, the irresistible charm she exuded had left him completely defenseless.
Shi Hao’s mind was consumed by the thought of staying in the Willow God’s embrace, exploring the art of procreation with her.
Other matters could wait.
His top priority was to ensure the Willow God conceived his child.
His “Many Children, Many Blessings System” granted him rewards based on the talent of his offspring—the stronger the child, the greater the reward.
Therefore, his first child absolutely had to be the Willow God’s.
“One month. I’ll go to the Upper Realm to break through in one month. Please, Willow God, just say yes,” Shi Hao pleaded, hugging her and acting spoiled just like he did when he was a child.
He knew her nature well—as long as he was shameless enough, she would eventually give in.
Faced with his antics, the Willow God gazed down at the thick-faced Shi Hao in her arms.
After staring at him for a few seconds, she sighed and leaned her head back against the pillow.
Seeing her reaction, Shi Hao showered her face with kisses.
“I knew you were the best, Willow God!”
As he kissed her, the Willow God helplessly wrapped her arms around him.
Looking at the boy she had raised with her own hands, she found herself unable to resist him.
*Perhaps this is simply fate,* she thought.
For the sake of all living beings in this world, Willow God was willing to sacrifice herself to bring Shi Hao happiness and growth.
This made it all worthwhile.
After kissing her, Shi Hao noticed the sky outside had dimmed.
He leaned in and whispered softly into Willow God’s ear.
As she listened to his words, a rare blush crept across Willow God’s face.
She shot him a coquettish, playful glare, but ultimately relented to his request.
Watching her rise and turn away, a joyful smile spread across Shi Hao’s lips.
The next month was spent entirely within their room.
Shi Hao dedicated himself to dual cultivation with Willow God, devising countless ways to help her conceive.
Though she initially resisted his more daring requests, Willow God eventually gave in to his persistent pleas, agreeing to cooperate with him.
She, too, hoped to conceive Shi Hao’s child soon.
She was eager to see the child’s cultivation talent and whether it would inherit Shi Hao’s extraordinary physique—a physique that had now evolved to a level that astonished even her.
If the child could inherit his traits, she could finally set her next plan into motion.
After a month of Shi Hao’s efforts, she had not conceived.
However, her body had undergone many changes, and every movement now exuded the captivating charm of a mature woman.
One day, when Shi Hao tried to pull her into his arms, the Willow God extended her jade-like hand and pressed it against his shoulder, a faint smile playing on her lips.
“Shi Hao, a month has passed. You must go to the Upper Realm now. No refusals.”
“I am not pregnant. If you want me to conceive your child, you must go to the Upper Realm and break through your cultivation. Only then will you be better able to plant your seed within me.” The Willow God gently caressed Shi Hao’s face.
“A month already? Time flies so fast,” Shi Hao murmured.
He had been so lost in the Willow God’s embrace that he had completely lost track of time.
Hearing her words, Shi Hao knew he had to go.
It would be unwise to anger the Willow God.
“Alright, I’ll go to the Upper Realm. I’ll be back soon. Wait for me,” he said, pulling her close and kissing her several times.
The Willow God helplessly allowed him to kiss her before summoning several willow branches to wrap around him.
“I will send you to a remote place in the Upper Realm. Once you’ve completed your breakthrough, activate this willow branch, and I will bring you back.”
The Willow God broke off a vibrant green branch and handed it to Shi Hao, then instructed him on the precautions he needed to take.
Shi Hao stowed the branch and nodded in agreement.
With all preparations complete, the Willow God unleashed her Divine Power, transporting Shi Hao to the Upper Realm.
***
The Upper Realm.
The Upper Realm was composed of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, each more vast than the entire Lower Realm.
In a remote mountain range within the Five Elements Province…
Suddenly, several tender green willow branches pierced through the void, tearing open a rift.
As the void shattered, a handsome young man stepped out.
He stood tall and proud like a green pine in the wind.
His white robes, pure as snow, fluttered in the breeze, untouched by a single speck of dust.
His face was as exquisitely carved as jade, with brows like distant mountains and eyes that shone like stars.
His nose was straight and high, and a faint, elusive smile played on his lips.
His long black hair was loosely tied back, with a few stray strands brushing against his cheeks, adding to his aura of free-spiritedness and unbridled confidence.
“So this is the Upper Realm? As expected, the Heavenly Laws are far more complete.”
The youth who had appeared here was, naturally, Shi Hao, who had been sent up by the Willow God.
Shi Hao looked around and saw nothing but towering ancient trees.
After sensing his surroundings, he confirmed that there was no one within a hundred-mile radius.
“As expected of my dear wife. The place she sent me to is very safe, with no one around.” After marvelling at the Willow God’s thoughtfulness, Shi Hao found a mountain and began to meditate on its peak.
He had to prepare everything.
When he advanced to the Divine Fire Realm, his Heavenly Tribulations would all arrive at once.
In the Lower Realm, every one of his breakthroughs had triggered a Heavenly Tribulation, but they had all been suppressed by the Willow God.
The Willow God had intended for Shi Hao to face all his accumulated Heavenly Tribulations at once when he ignited his Divine Fire.
Therefore, Shi Hao understood that his Heavenly Tribulation would be utterly terrifying.
Two days later, Shi Hao opened his eyes.
“It’s here.”
Sensing the arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation, Shi Hao no longer suppressed his power.
At that moment, his peak Venerable Realm strength was fully unleashed.
The instant Shi Hao released his suppression, the sky began to churn with dark clouds.
An incredibly terrifying Lightning Tribulation vortex rapidly formed, quickly spreading across a five-hundred-mile radius.
The massive commotion instantly drew the attention of countless cultivators.
Staring at the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, the cultivators were dumbfounded, all speculating which fellow Daoist was breaking through.
*This is at least the True God Realm, isn’t it?*
Shi Hao was unaware that his breakthrough had attracted the attention of various factions.
A True God, even in the Upper Realm, could serve as an Elder.
Shi Hao circulated his Divine Power and charged directly into the Heavenly Tribulation in the sky.
How could he, the Innate Dao Embryo Sacred Body, fear a Heavenly Tribulation?
In less than half a day, Shi Hao ignited his Divine Fire and stepped into the Divine Fire Realm.
After completing his advancement, Shi Hao sensed several True One Realm cultivators rushing toward him.
He instantly concealed his aura and vanished.
Since he had come to the Upper Realm, Shi Hao wanted to see if he could meet some of the female protagonists he was familiar with.
Yue Chan was his main focus, of course, as was the Demon Woman’s true body.
