Archean Eon Art

Chapter 216: Born (Final Chapter of Volume)

Meng Chuan was somewhat puzzled. He had looked through the spoils of war in the bag. There were only three drops of green liquid in the black jade bottle. Was it worth his master’s excitement?

“Master, is the liquid in this jade bottle very precious?” asked Meng Chuan.

“No.” Qin Wu smiled and said, “What’s precious is the bottle itself.”

“Bottle?” Meng Chuan looked at the bottle carefully. The pitch-black jade bottle didn’t feel warm or cold to the touch. It didn’t seem special.

“This is a jade bottle unique to the demons. It’s carved from a complete North Sea Nether Jade. It has been refined by a demon Imperial Lord and can naturally absorb the Heaven and Earth powers. Every month, it will naturally condense a drop of jade liquid,” said Qin Wu. “This jade bottle is rather precious in the Demon Realm. It’s even more precious in the human world. I won’t hide it from you. It’s worth 50 million credits.”

Meng Chuan was alarmed.

50 million credits? This was an extremely shocking number. How many fourth Firmament demon monarchs were there in the world? Killing five in a row was worth 50 million credits! Killing one of the two fifth Firmament Skydemons was only 80 million credits!

“Let’s trade. I have a treasure here as well.” Qin Wu looked at Meng Chuan. With a flip of his hand, a fiery-red feather appeared in his palm. It looked like it was carved from red jade. A faint flame rose from the crystalline body. “This feather is beneficial to those that cultivate fire-type divine bodies. It’s extremely useful for a Phoenix Divine Body expert. Are you willing to exchange this jade bottle for this feather?”

“A feather?” Meng Chuan examined the feather carefully.

What was his master’s identity? He was one of the leaders of Archean Mountain. How could he take advantage of a junior like him? The feather’s value was definitely in no way inferior to the Nether Jade Bottle, or even higher.

“What kind of creature’s feather is it?” asked Meng Chuan.

“The feathers of a phoenix,” said Qin Wu with a smile.

“Phoenix?” Meng Chuan was taken aback. “Are there really phoenixes in this world?”

Qin Wu smiled. “There’s no need to ask further. You cultivate the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body. This feather is useless to you, but it’s a treasure for your wife, Liu Qiyue. Furthermore, your wife is pregnant. It’s beneficial to the children inside her. Are you willing to trade the jade bottle for it?”

“Yes, yes,” said Meng Chuan immediately.

“You really don’t feel the pinch.” Qin Wu smiled. “After you return, have Liu Qiyue keep this feather close to her. Make her keep it close to her even when she’s cultivating. Within a month, it will fuse with Liu Qiyue’s body.”

Meng Chuan nodded. He had long prepared the pills he needed to cultivate the Divine Power realm and the baneful aura he required next. If his wife could become stronger, it would be a joyous occasion. In this era—where the war kept escalating—they could go further together if she became stronger. They could also protect their children better.

…

The other spoils of war from Demon Monarch Fujiao added up to three million credits. Meng Chuan traded the Nether Jade Bottle for a phoenix feather.

Meng Chuan sighed. If a single feather is worth so much, how much is an entire Phoenix worth? Meng Chuan silently left Archean Mountain the same night he arrived.

Phoenixes were only a legend in the human world.

Phoenix Divine Body… Many Godfiends knew that this divine body was very powerful and could allow one to use Phoenix’s Nirvana. Therefore, they named it Phoenix Divine Body.

After obtaining a phoenix feather, Meng Chuan realized that the world still had many secrets he didn’t know about. His sect, Archean Mountain, was also very mysterious.

…

“You gave him a phoenix feather?” On the mountain, Supremacy Qin Wu and Supremacy Luo Tang stood side by side as they watched Meng Chuan leave.

Luo Tang was extremely shocked by Qin Wu’s actions. “Isn’t that the last phoenix feather? You actually parted with it?”

“I still have the right to give a phoenix feather to anyone,” said Qin Wu with a smile. He held the black jade bottle in his hand and said, “Although the value of a Nether Jade Bottle appears to be much lower than a phoenix feather, it’s more useful since it can be used for long periods of time.”

“A Nether Jade Bottle is worth 50 million credits, but the phoenix feather is worth twice as much,” said Luo Tang.

“I gave it to him because he’s Meng Chuan.” Qin Wu said, “He obtained a third-level Essence Soul at the age of 36. If he can obtain a seventh-level Essence Soul, he will be more useful to humanity than a Creation realm Supremacy. If he obtains an eighth-level Essence Soul… he can even end this war.”

“Eighth-level Essence Soul? Do you think so highly of him?” Luo Tang asked softly. “Even the strongest person in human history has only attained an eight-level Essence Soul.”

“At the very least, he has a high chance of attaining a seventh-level Essence Soul,” said Qin Wu. “We can’t help him with his Essence Soul cultivation, but we can help his wife. With this phoenix feather, Liu Qiyue’s phoenix bloodline will become purer. The chances of her becoming a Regis Godfiend will be much higher. It’s a good thing for the couple to join forces to fight the enemy.”

Luo Tang nodded slightly.

…

The moonlight scattered across Gu Mountain Prefecture City in the dark night. The city was silent; everybody had fallen asleep.

Meng Chuan silently returned to his residence under the moonlight.

“Ah Chuan.” With her sharp senses, Liu Qiyue noticed her husband returning. Liu Qiyue opened the door. “It’s only been four hours. You are really fast,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile.

Meng Chuan smiled and said, “The total trip distance is 10,000 kilometers, and I killed some demon monarchs along the way. By the way, I brought you a treasure.”

“Treasure?” asked Liu Qiyue puzzledly.

“Yes.” Meng Chuan took out his cloth bag and retrieved a fiery-red feather.

“A feather?” Liu Qiyue felt her blood boil when she saw the fiery-red feather. For some reason, she had a strong desire to possess it. This was the Phoenix Divine Body’s instinct.

Meng Chuan nodded. “I heard from Master that this is a phoenix feather. As long as you carry it with you and cultivate, it will completely fuse with your body in a month. It will be beneficial to you and the children in your womb.”

With that said, Meng Chuan handed it to his wife.

When Liu Qiyue touched the fiery-red feather, flames rose from her body. She looked at the feather in a daze and couldn’t help but ask, “Why haven’t I heard of such a treasure?”

“The greater demon monarch had a jade bottle. Master said that it was very valuable and didn’t want to take advantage of him, so he traded this feather for it,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.

“I can feel my body slowly transforming,” said Liu Qiyue. “Even the babies in my womb are affected for the better.”

Meng Chuan smiled brightly. “That’s good.”

…

Days passed.

The fiery-red feather became dimmer and dimmer, but Liu Qiyue’s strength kept increasing. Even her phoenix flames became stronger. In less than a month, the fiery-red feather turned into powder and vanished. The power within the phoenix feather had completely fused with Liu Qiyue’s body.

Meng Chuan was assigned more and more rescue missions. He would be assigned a mission once every two to three days, rushing to various places each time. In fact, the only fourth Firmament demon monarch in Wu State had been killed by Meng Chuan. His missions mainly occurred in Wu State and Qian State. His job was very easy. After attaining a third-level Essence Soul, he had the strength of a newly-advanced Marquis Godfiend. He easily killed third Firmament demon monarchs.

…

3rd September. The atmosphere in Meng Chuan’s and his wife’s home—where they lived in seclusion—was rather tense.

Liu Yebai and Meng Chuan were waiting in the yard. Meng Dajiang couldn’t come because he was in charge of Earth Net’s intelligence network in Eastcalm Prefecture; thus, only Liu Yebai came.

“Meng Chuan, don’t worry. Qiyue is a Great Solar Godfiend. She can give birth easily.” Liu Yebai comforted Meng Chuan.

“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded, but he still stared at the room nervously.

He had never been this nervous even when he was fighting Fu Jiao.

Suddenly—

“Wa!” A baby’s cry sounded.

Meng Chuan and Liu Yebai trembled. Liu Yebai said excitedly, “The baby’s born. Meng Chuan, go in and take a look quickly.”

“Father-in-law, no rush,” said Meng Chuan immediately. “There’s another child.”

“Yes, yes, yes. There are two children.” Liu Yebai nodded.

Soon, another baby cried. The two babies cried together.

The door creaked open.

A woman came out and happily said, “Congratulations, Master. It’s a young master and a young mistress.”

Meng Chuan rushed in immediately.

As for Liu Yebai, he waited outside. At the same time, he took out a red packet—that he had prepared earlier—and gave it to the woman. When the woman saw this, her eyes lit up as her breathing hastened. She immediately said, “Thank you, Old Master. Thank you, Old Master.”

In fact, a Great Solar Godfiend could easily give birth. The two women hired were only there to help.

…

Within the room.

“Master.” The other woman packed up and left respectfully.

Meng Chuan saw Liu Qiyue leaning on the bed as she carried a pair of children.

“These are my children?” Meng Chuan stared.

Ordinary infants were born with wrinkled skin. However, his children had rosy skin the moment they were born. Their black eyes widened as they looked at the world curiously.

“How adorable.” Meng Chuan felt the blood connection. When he saw the two children, his heart melted.

He then looked at his wife—who was carrying the two children.

I, Meng Chuan, must protect the three people in front of me with this life of mine at all costs.

In the past, he had only thought of slaying demons. Now, his wife and children occupied the other half of his attention.

Meng Chuan felt very happy at this moment.

“Ah Chuan.” Liu Qiyue smiled and handed a child to her husband. “This is the elder sister, and the other is the younger brother.”

“Okay.” Meng Chuan hugged his daughter. His daughter looked at the “giant” curiously.

“Let’s go see Father-in-law,” said Meng Chuan.

After a while, the couple carried their children out of the room. Liu Yebai was already anxious from waiting outside.

“Oh, my two good grandchildren.” When Liu Yebai saw the babies, his eyes narrowed in happiness. He ran over excitedly and reached out to touch his granddaughter’s face before touching his grandson’s ear.

“Wa!” This made the boy cry.

“Waah!” The girl cried as well.

“Hahaha…” Liu Yebai laughed until his eyes were moist.

Meng Chuan and his wife immediately coaxed the two children.

“Oh, oh, oh, be good, be good.”
