BXBX NOVEL Chapter 335: Void Transference
"Xiaoxiao, I’ll be there right away." Qin Yun could not contain his excitement as he flew westward as a beam of light.
More than an hour later, Qin Yun had crossed the entire continent by traveling from the east of the Great Chang empire to the West Sea Dragon Palace.
"Brother Yun." Yi Xiao was sitting beside the Dragon Pool with her feet immersed in it. She got up to welcome Qin Yun when she saw him arrive.
"Xiaoxiao." Qin Yun hurriedly rushed to his wife. "Quick, take a seat. You must sit."
There was a smooth boulder to the side. After he sat Yi Xiao on it, Qin Yun stayed by her side. He could not help but caress his wife’s tummy. Of course, there was no baby bump as it was still early.
"I thought I would be able to sense it after half a month," said Yi Xiao. "I never expected it would be more than a month before I sensed the little life growing in me. From the looks of it, this child of ours will take more than forty weeks of pregnancy."
"The longer the pregnancy, the more it implies the extraordinariness of our child. Didn’t Ancestral Master Zhang say that? To have a Skydragon, the child will have to stay in the womb for more than a hundred years," said Qin Yun with a smile. "You are having a bloodline awakening as we speak. As for me, I’m a mortal sword immortal that has strength matching the third Firmament Essence Soul realm. Our child... will naturally be extraordinary."
Qin Yun knew very well how magical a bloodline legacy was.
Not only would physical strength be passed down, even an inkling of the Dao powers could be inherited.
Therefore, some were born at an extremely high realm. It was entirely because of their parent’s heritage. It was also common for powerful immortals from the courts of the Heavenly world to have children that were born immortal. For instance, the progenitor of the Dragon race, the Ancestral Dragon, had nine sons. All nine of them were at the peak of the Skydragon realm when they were born! This had nothing to do with their cultivation. Their bloodlines contained an inkling of the Dao.
Under normal circumstances, this bloodline inheritance would weaken with each succeeding generation, eventually being dulled to the point of mortality.
"I wonder if our child will be born human or dragon," mused Yi Xiao.
"You are still in the midst of your bloodline awakening. You still have human blood in you. I’m also human. Our child is likely human," said Qin Yun with a smile. "However, our child might have a chance of transforming into a dragon one day."
"Brother Yun, your realm is high and perhaps your bloodline is stronger, fully repressing our child’s dragon bloodline," joked Yi Xiao.
"Regardless, this child is both of ours." Qin Yun was looking forward to it.
"Brother Yun, what do you think? Will it be a boy or girl?" asked Yi Xiao.
"I’m happy with either one of them," said Qin Yun with a smile.
...
In the following days, Qin Yun frequently chatted with his wife. Every month, he made sure to visit his wife at the West Sea Dragon Palace.
Yi Xiao’s pregnancy was indeed very slow as expected. By autumn of the next year, after approximately forty weeks of pregnancy, Yi Xiao’s tummy finally had a tiny bump.
"Brother Yun, I sensed it. Our child is a girl." Yi Xiao and Qin Yun were sitting by the side of the Dragon Pool. Both of them were rejoicing.
"Girl?" Qin Yun’s eyes lit up.
A baby girl?
Yi Xiao was very beautiful and he was quite handsome himself. Their daughter was bound to be gorgeous.
When his daughter grew up, there would probably be many suitors coming after his daughter.
He had to watch these suitors carefully!
"What’s on your mind?" asked Yi Xiao.
"I’m wondering what our daughter will look like when she’s grown up," said Qin Yun with a smile. "Xiaoxiao, you are such a great beauty. I believe our daughter will be quite a budding beauty as well."
"Listen to this glib tongue of yours." Yi Xiao smiled sweetly.
"It took you forty weeks to sense that she’s a girl? How long will it take for the delivery to happen?" quipped Qin Yun suddenly.
"It will probably take three years in total," speculated Yi Xiao.
"That sure is long," said Qin Yun.
"Brother Yun, didn’t you say it yourself? The longer it is, the more extraordinary she will be." Yi Xiao lowered her head as she gently stroked her baby bump. Her eyes were shimmering.

Grand Dominance. Qin Manor.
"Yun’er." Qin Liehu and Changlan came to visit Qin Liehu. "Have you been to the West Sea Dragon Palace?"
Qin Yun put down his brush. "Father, Mother. I just came back."
"How is Yi Xiao?" Changlan could not help but ask "Is she feeling okay? She must not be lacking any food or drink."
"Don’t worry." Qin Yun felt a little helpless.
"Yi Xiao has been pregnant for forty weeks. When is the estimated delivery?" asked Changlan. Qin Liehu did not add to the pressing but he was listening by the side.
"The pregnancy will take about three years, she said. So there’s a little more than two years to go," said Qin Yun.
"That long?"
Changlan and Qin Liehu exchanged looks.
Changlan could not help but say, "Shuyan’s wife got pregnant after Yi Xiao. The child will likely be delivered in early spring next year."
"They will be faster than us." Qin Yun had nothing to say.
Hong Lingtong’s daughter had already married his nephew, Shuyan. She became pregnant about three months ago.
"Also, you have to spend more time with Xiaoxiao. She will be rather lonely all by herself in that West Sea Dragon Palace," advised Changlan.
"Don’t worry, Mom. I know." Qin Yun could only obediently agree.
...
Amid the autumn winds, a purple-robed figure appeared above the West Sea. He was none other than He Qian.
"Empyrean Lord actually thinks so much of that puny Qin Yun?" He Qian grumbled inwardly. He overlooked the sea beneath him. With a flip of his hand, he produced a black token. Once he activated it, the runic patterns on its surface lit up. Spatial ripples emanated outwards with a hum. He Qian took a step forward and vanished into thin air.
In the West Sea Dragon Palace’s forbidden ground, Yi Xiao was sitting beside the Dragon Pool. She was keeping mental track of the Dao charms that constantly surfaced in her mind during her bloodline awakening.
At that moment, a spatial ripple appeared beside her and He Qian walked out of it.
"Oh?" Yi Xiao turned her head abruptly when she sensed him. All she saw was a black rope fly over and instantly wrap around her. Her strength was immediately sealed. She even fell unconscious.
"Hmph!"
Grabbing the rope Dharma treasure, He Qian activated the black token in his hand again.
Spatial ripples emanated.
He Qian vanished with Yi Xiao as quickly as he arrived.
"Whoosh." A stream of light flew over and stopped beside the Dragon Pool. It was none other than the West Sea Dragon King! At that moment, one figure after another rushed over. They were the West Sea Dragon Palace’s Elders.
All of them could tap into the energy in the forbidden ground’s array formation. Of course, the person that held absolute control over it was the West Sea Dragon King.
"It’s Void Transference!" said Dragon King angrily. "Someone entered the forbidden land of our Dragon Palace using Void Transference, grabbed Yi Xiao, and escaped with Void Transference again."
"A Void Transference treasure that can teleport both the person and Yi Xiao? Yi Xiao has already reached the True Dragon realm. To teleport with her... the value of that treasure is likely equal to that of a Numinous treasure."
The Elders present had a sense of foreboding.
Void Transference...
In the entire world, even people like Ancestral Master Zhang, Patriarch Bai, and Human Emperor were unable to cast Void Transference by themselves. They had to rely on external items! Typically, they were talismans that could only be used once. A treasure that could allow a Skyimmortal to teleport once was worth a Numinous treasure. As Skyimmortals exerted terrifying suppression on the void, teleporting them was a lot more difficult.
Instead, it was only entities like Yellow-scarved Strongmen that could teleport over short distances.
There was also Hong Lingtong who previously gave Qin Yun a Stand-in Life Charm. It too could teleport the user five hundred kilometers away. However, those were only used to teleport mortals.
To teleport someone at the Essence Soul realm? The suppression of the void was too great. The difficulty increased exponentially.
However, He Qian had managed to do it twice! And so quickly!
West Sea Dragon King waved his hand as He Qian’s purple-robed figure appeared to his side. "The person that infiltrated our Dragon Palace’s forbidden ground is this mortal fiendish demon. From his appearance, he is that mysterious fiendish demon from the South Sea Prefecture."
