Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

391: Section 391The moment Yun Xiancheng’s gaze met the woman behind the screen, his heart skipped a beat.

It was a face of exquisite beauty, seven or eight parts similar to Xun’er’s, yet more mature and more charming. Her eyes were as profound as the vast starry sky, seemingly containing all the wisdom and mysteries of the universe.

Her body exuded an innate maternal glow, as deep and warm as the Earth itself, making anyone who saw her for the first time

unconsciously feel at ease and close to her.

She was none other than the current Clan Leader of the Ancient Clan, System Spirit.

However, what truly shocked Yun Xiancheng at this moment was neither her identity nor her appearance.

It was the flood of long-sealed memories from the deepest part of his soul that surged forth like a broken dam the instant he saw her! He remembered.

On that blue planet called ’Earth,’ when he was on the verge of death due to an accident, in the last second before his consciousness plunged into eternal darkness, he had glimpsed this face through his blurry vision!

He remembered.

When his soul, which had turned into nothingness, was pulled by a mysterious force, traversing endless spatial turbulence, he had been tightly embraced in a warm and soft bosom.

The owner of that embrace was protecting him from the void storm, capable of tearing everything apart, in this world of ice and snow! He remembered.

This woman, with strong maternal affection in her eyes, had brought him across the world’s barrier to this land called the Fighting Qi Continent.

Finally, she leaned down, left a gentle and somewhat reluctant kiss on his forehead, and watched silently until Yun Yun found him and brought him back to the Cloud Mist Sect.

So that’s how it was.

Just as Gu Xun’er was a life cultivated by System Spirit from her own Dou Qi, at great cost and effort, he, this soul from another world, was also guided here by her hand and given a new life! In a sense, she... was his mother.

And Xun’er... was his younger sister. Child.

Just as Yun Xiancheng was deeply shaken, a wonderfully gentle smile bloomed on System Spirit’s beautiful face. She slowly stood up and opened her arms to Yun Xiancheng.

Yun Xiancheng could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. He stepped forward and tightly embraced the woman who had given him a second life. A thousand words, at this moment, turned into silence. He didn’t know what to say, nor what he could say.

He could only convey his unspeakable gratitude and admiration through this hug. ”Mother? Husband?”

Xun’er, standing by, was completely dumbfounded by this sudden scene. Her beautiful golden eyes widened, and her small face was filled with question marks. This... what was happening? They... seemed to have known each other for a long time?

After a moment of tender embrace between mother and son, System Spirit gently patted Yun Xiancheng’s back and softly said:

”Alright, my good child. I know you have many questions. Sit down, I will tell you everything.”

After the three of them sat down, System Spirit’s gaze slowly swept across Yun Xiancheng’s and Xun’er’s faces, her eyes filled with love and relief.

”Chenger, you’ve done very well. I’m very relieved with Xun’er by your side.” She paused, then continued:

”I know you yearn to quickly increase your strength. I have already planned out the path ahead for you. In the Heavenly Tomb of the Ancient Clan, the remnant soul and energy origin of Xiao Clan’s ancestor, Xiao Xuan, are sealed. That inheritance is enough to help that girl, Xiao Yan, completely awaken the thin Xiao Clan bloodline within her, truly giving her the qualification to stand shoulder to shoulder with you.”

”The Bodhi Ancient Tree in the Desolate Ancient Region is about to open. That bodhi heart realm is your best opportunity to break through to the Dou Sheng realm.”

”Within the Flower Sect, there is a wisp of the Flower Emperor’s remnant soul. In the Sound Valley, there is also the inheritance of the Sound Emperor waiting for its fated person. Coupled with the opportunities of your other girls... stacking all of this together will be enough to help you ascend to the supreme Dou Di realm once again in this world.”

Hearing this, Yun Xiancheng couldn’t help but ask, ”Mother, what about the Hun Clan...?” ”They will definitely make a move.”

System Spirit’s tone remained calm and unwavering, yet it carried a sense of confidence.

”Especially within the Bodhi Ancient Tree. That is a crucial secret realm for breaking through to Dou Sheng, and the Hun Clan knows you will definitely go. At that time, the one who comes to intercept you will most likely be the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, Soul Mie Sheng. He should now have the cultivation of a Six-Star Dou Sheng. With your current strength, you are temporarily not his match.

”However, you don’t need to worry.”

She raised her hand and gently stroked Yun Xiancheng’s cheek, softly saying,

”With Mother here, no one on this Fighting Qi Continent can harm my child.”

Yun Xiancheng felt the warmth from her palm, and his heart settled considerably. But a new question immediately arose. He looked at his unfathomable mother, hesitated for a moment, and then asked the somewhat bold question: ”Mother... why don’t you cultivate the Great Dao with me?”

If he were to have his first spiritual and physical union with a maiden who had never experienced such things, he could disregard any realm barrier and directly break through an entire realm.

And System Spirit was already at the peak of Nine-Star Dou Sheng, just one step away from the Dou Di realm. If she were willing... wouldn’t the Dou Di realm be within easy reach?

At that time, looking across the world, who could stop them?

System Spirit was startled at first, then burst into a ’pfft’ of laughter.

She extended her jade finger and playfully tapped Yun Xiancheng’s forehead. ”You child, you even dare to scheme against your own mother.”

A hint of helplessness and doting flashed in her eyes, but soon, that smile was replaced by a faint sigh.

”Chenger, it’s not that Mother is unwilling to help you. It’s just... I am not human.” ”What?!” Yun Xiancheng and Xun’er exclaimed simultaneously.

System Spirit slowly raised her hand. In her palm, a cluster of primordial energy, radiating a soft glow and seemingly containing the vitality of the entire world, slowly emerged.

At the core of that energy, faint illusions of mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars could be seen. This... what is this?

Yun Xiancheng’s eyes widened. From that cluster of energy,

he felt an incredibly familiar yet infinitely vast and majestic aura—that was... the aura of the Fighting Qi Continent!

System Spirit’s face revealed a complex smile, with sorrow, relief, and a hint of expectation.

”My true form is the plane embryo of this world. My mission from birth is to guard, to nurture, and to... wait.”

She raised her head, her deep eyes quietly gazing at Yun Xiancheng, and said word by word: ”To wait for your arrival, and then... to be devoured by you, to help you achieve that supreme realm.”

487 emperors to bear

As soon as System Spirit finished speaking, Yun Xiancheng’s expression darkened.

He abruptly stood up, pressing his hands on System Spirit’s shoulders, his usually gentle and refined eyes now burning with a nearly furious flame. ”Mother, what nonsense are you talking about?”

His voice was not loud, but it carried an aura of authority. It was the demeanor of an emperor, a resolute refusal to compromise.

”I, Yun Xiancheng, have cultivated until now without ever needing to sacrifice anything to grow. I am the destined Heavenly Emperor; I don’t need external objects, and even less...” He took a deep breath, and said word by word, ”I don’t need the sacrifice of my loved ones to grow!”

System Spirit trembled slightly. She hadn’t expected Yun Xiancheng’s reaction to be so intense. ”Chenger, listen to me...”

”No!” Yun Xiancheng interrupted her, his fingers tightening slightly, leaving shallow marks on System Spirit’s shoulders.

”As an Emperor, one must have absolute confidence. An Emperor bears all, an Emperor is responsible for all. You have taken such good care of me, Mother; if I were to sacrifice you, what kind of person would I be?” His voice carried a hint of annoyance, but more of heartache and reluctance.

”Does this mean that in the future, if I want to advance to a higher realm and get stuck, I’ll need others to sacrifice themselves for me to break through? What kind of Dao am I cultivating then? What kind of Emperor would I become?”

Saying this, he even childishly reached out and gently rubbed System Spirit’s beautiful face, as if punishing a child who had said something wrong. ”You are not allowed to say such things again.”

System Spirit was left somewhat speechless by his sudden action, finding it both frustrating and endearing.

Looking at the child she had given birth to, who was now lecturing her, an indescribable warmth and satisfaction welled up in her heart. Those who are favored are always fearless.

She sighed softly, a doting smile appearing on her face, and she said gently, ”Mhm.” Xun’er, standing nearby, was completely stunned at this moment.

She widened her beautiful golden eyes, her small head filled with question marks. plane embryo? Heavenly Supreme? Devouring?

She didn’t understand any of these unfamiliar terms. But one thing she did understand—it seemed Mother wanted to sacrifice herself to help Chenger succeed. How could she allow that?!

”Mother!” Xun’er suddenly stood up, quickly walked to System Spirit’s side, and grabbed her hand.

”How... how could you think that? You are Xun’er’s mother, the Clan Head of the Ancient Clan, you can’t... you can’t just for the sake of Chenger...” As she spoke, her eyes started to turn red.

System Spirit looked at her little daughter, and her heart softened even more. She reached out and gently patted Xun’er’s hand, saying softly, ”Alright, alright, Mother won’t mention it again.” Seeing this, Yun Xiancheng finally let out a sigh of relief. He sat back down in his original seat, pondered for a moment, and then spoke:

”Mother, instead of you sacrificing yourself, why don’t we research how you can obtain a true body and then break through to Dou Di.”

”In the current Fighting Qi Continent, the only real threat is Hun Tiandi, that Nine-Star Dou Sheng. As long as Mother breaks through to Dou Di, the vast world will be yours to conquer.”

Hearing this, System Spirit’s eyes flashed with a hint of contemplation, but it quickly turned into a smile: ”I will figure something out, but having you is enough.”

After speaking, she suddenly stood up, walked slowly to Yun Xiancheng, opened her arms, and gently embraced him. ”Chenger...” Her voice carried a hint of self-reproach and guilt.

”Mother was negligent. All these years, Mother has been waiting and observing, but forgot... forgot how to raise a child. Mother... is not a good mother.”

The faint, Earth-like warm scent emanating from System Spirit lingered around Yun Xiancheng’s nose. He didn’t speak, but just reached out and hugged her back.

System Spirit lowered her head and placed a gentle kiss on Yun Xiancheng’s forehead.

Just like she did back then, in that snowy landscape, when she placed the infant she had forcefully protected onto Yun Yun’s inevitable path.

Feeling the warm touch on his forehead, an indescribable surge of emotion welled up in Yun Xiancheng’s heart. He looked up at System Spirit, who was just inches away, and suddenly leaned forward proactively, pressing a return kiss onto her lips.

This kiss carried no implication of lust.

Only the pure attachment and gratitude of a child towards his mother.

However, just then, Xun’er, who was standing nearby, finally realized belatedly—Wait. Why did Chenger and Mother kiss?

Her eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, and she was completely stunned.

Immediately after, she saw Yun Xiancheng and System Spirit separate their lips, exchange a glance, and then press them together again. This time, it wasn’t a superficial touch, but... a passionate French kiss.

Xun’er’s brain completely crashed. What... What was going on?!

One was her Husband, the other was her mother.

These two most important people in her life were actually... actually doing this right in front of her... She felt like her worldview was undergoing an unprecedented earthquake.

After a long time, System Spirit and Yun Xiancheng slowly separated. A faint blush dusted System Spirit’s face. She turned to look at the completely petrified Xun’er, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

”Chenger, your little sister is jealous. Go comfort her quickly.” ”L-Little sister?!”

Xun’er felt a ”boom” in her head and became even more stunned.

Seeing this, Yun Xiancheng cleared his throat, got up, walked to Xun’er’s side, and pulled her into his arms to sit down. ”Xun’er, listen to my explanation.”

He carefully chose his words and briefly explained his relationship with System Spirit in a way Xun’er could understand.

Of course, he naturally omitted the overly fantastical details about Earth and Transmigration, only saying that he was a life form conceived by System Spirit through special means, and like Xun’er, was her child.

After hearing this, Xun’er was completely dumbfounded.

After a moment, she murmured, ”So... so Chenger, you... you are my... Older Brother?”

”In a sense, yes.” Yun Xiancheng nodded. Xun’er’s face turned visibly red at a speed noticeable to the naked eye.

Just then, System Spirit suddenly walked forward, grabbed Yun Xiancheng’s hand, and then... pressed his hand onto Xun’er’s lapel. ”M-Mother?!” Xun’er cried out in surprise.

System Spirit just smiled without speaking, her slender fingers skillfully untying Xun’er’s sash. ”Xun’er, didn’t you always want to be closer to Chenger? Now’s your chance.”

Under System Spirit’s movements, Xun’er’s clothes were removed piece by piece. Soon, her fair, jade-like body with its exquisite curves was revealed completely before Yun Xiancheng’s eyes.

”Aaaah—”

Xun’er let out a series of cries of shame and annoyance. She tried to cover herself, but System Spirit gently held her hand down. ”Xun’er, why are you being shy?” System Spirit’s voice held a hint of teasing.

”Although you are siblings, you were ultimately born of Fighting Qi, not of true flesh and blood. Moreover...”

She paused, then said meaningfully, ”You are already his Wife, aren’t you?” Hearing this, Xun’er’s sense of shame reached its peak. But quickly, she grasped the key point—Right! They were born of Fighting Qi, not true flesh and blood!

Once this thought arose, the slight doubt in her heart instantly vanished, replaced by a surge of excitement.

She suddenly raised her head, and a burning, fiery passion ignited in her golden eyes.

The next second, she actually proactively pushed Yun Xiancheng, taking the dominant position as he fell back.

”Chenger,” she bit her lower lip, clumsily undoing Yun Xiancheng’s clothes while speaking with a hint of exasperated annoyance.

”What exactly did you mean by those things you said to Mother just now? What plane embryo? What Heavenly Supreme? You must... you must explain everything clearly to me!”

As she spoke, she had already removed Yun Xiancheng’s clothing. Then, she took a deep breath, guided the familiar heat, and slowly sat down. *Mmh*

The familiar feeling of fullness came, making her let out an involuntary moan of satisfaction. But she quickly clenched her jaw, glared at Yun Xiancheng, and continued to press him: ”Hurry up and tell me!”

Yun Xiancheng lay there, looking at Xun’er, who was riding him and working diligently, and then at System Spirit, who was watching the scene with a smiling face. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

”Alright, alright, I’ll talk.”

He sighed helplessly, and while enjoying Xun’er’s tightness and warmth, he thoroughly explained everything System Spirit had just mentioned regarding the plane embryo and the Heavenly Supreme realm.

The knowledge of the Great Thousand World and Dou Di broadened Xun’er’s horizons. Xun’er listened while continuing her movements.

When she heard Yun Xiancheng resolutely refuse to let System Spirit sacrifice herself, a strong sense of emotion and pride surged in her heart. This is my Husband.

Chenger, I... I love you.

She whimpered softly, gradually reaching the peak amidst the repeated impacts.

488 Heavenly Tomb

Three days after the Coming-of-Age Ceremony concluded hastily, the Heavenly Tomb opened as scheduled.

That Ancient Secret Realm, situated deep within the Ancient World and wrapped layer upon layer by countless restrictions and seals, slowly tore open a pitch-black rift under the combined activation of the Gu Clan Elders.

Within the rift, countless free-floating Soul Light Spots could faintly be seen, flickering like fireflies.

According to tradition, the Young Disciples of the Ancient Eight Clans would file in at this time, relying on their own abilities to hunt the Remnant Souls of Ancient Powerhouses to strengthen themselves.

However, today, when the Heaven’s Chosen from the Seven Clans stood at the entrance, not a single person dared to step inside first. Their gazes all fell uniformly upon Yun Xiancheng.

The White-robed Man who had crushed their pride by utterly defeating Gu Yao three days ago with a single move, was now standing quietly at the edge of the entrance, his aura contained, showing no ripple of emotion.
