Chapter 1533: The Stronger the Demon Fetus, the More This Is the Case
Half a month later.
"Your Majesty, the Demon Clan is causing trouble everywhere, but they haven’t caused any major disturbances. They simply keep appearing in the mountains and fields of the mortal world, using intimidation for amusement and scaring passersby."
"It has already caused panic among the mortals. Should we devise a plan?"
In the Immortal Governance Hall, an elderly immortal bowed and inquired.
Bai Zhi’er sat high on the divine throne, her entire body emitting bright light.
Her voice was stern: "Order the Mountain God and Earth God near the incident sites to join forces to prevent the Demons from frightening people. Remember, do not be quick to take action, prioritize persuasion."
The immortals nodded silently: "We officials understand."
Your Majesty is still reluctant to act against the Demon Lord’s people.
A few other immortals stepped forward to report the timing of rain blessings across the mortal world for the coming year.
Bai Zhi’er listened while unable to help but furrow her brows.
Her stomach hurt.
This vague pain wasn’t just from one or two days ago.
Initially, it occurred occasionally, but from yesterday to today, it had been frequent.
When it hurt, it felt like a needle stabbing; Bai Zhi’er had a slight sweat on her forehead but still had to maintain her seated posture to avoid the gods noticing anything amiss.
After barely making it through the council meeting, Bai Zhi’er returned to the immortal palace, pretending nothing was wrong, but the pain made her unable to stand straight.
She leaned against a jade pillar, stumbling to her seat.
The immortal servants were nearby picking Divine Flowers and had not yet returned.
Bai Zhi’er gasped uncomfortably, quickly regulating her breath, trying to use the Divine Technique to suppress this inexplicable pain.
Suddenly, she felt her Primordial Spirit shake violently.
Bai Zhi’er’s heart skipped a beat.
"What’s going on?" She felt extremely puzzled.
She checked her pulse, clearly very healthy.
Why was there always this unknown pain?
Bai Zhi’er immediately cast a divination for herself.
The divination was highly auspicious, with Above Shake and Below Earth, Shake for child, Earth for mother.
Pregnant!?
Bai Zhi’er was greatly shocked.
She hurriedly got up, rushing to the study to search through the Heavenly Book for the differences between the early stages of pregnancy of a Demon Fetus and an Immortal Embryo.
At first, she believed she might be carrying a Demon Fetus, after all, Feng Fuce’s mana far exceeded hers.
Although the child randomly inherits mana from either parent, the one with stronger mana is more likely to pass it on to the child.
Thus, Bai Zhi’er only checked the symptoms of a Demon Fetus.
She forgot, even if Feng Fuce’s mana is stronger, hers is not weak either! The child might have a chance to inherit her Divine Technique.
The mysterious Heavenly Book flipped pages quickly, emitting a sparkling orange-yellow glow.
Bai Zhi’er finally saw everything she wanted to know in the Heavenly Book.
The Heavenly Book records that during the early stages of Immortal Embryo gestation, the mother might feel a headache and fever, with the Primordial Spirit and heart veins sometimes burning and sometimes as cold as ice.
Bai Zhi’er lightly frowned.
She puzzled: "These symptoms... I don’t have them."
So, she went back to carefully look at the symptoms of a Demon Fetus.
The Heavenly Book says, unlike mortal fetuses, a Demon Fetus doesn’t need to sit pregnant for a month, just five days is enough to sense the presence of a Demon Fetus.
But when Bai Zhi’er checked carefully back then, she wasn’t pregnant.
Yet when she looked further, she was taken aback.
It turns out the Heavenly Book also records that some Demon Fetuses, during early gestation in a powerful mother, will initially force their presence to be in harmony with the mother, and then be discovered.
The Heavenly Book also writes a lot of examples to explain this phenomenon.
In summary, a powerful Demon Fetus meeting a powerful mother will first absorb the mother’s bloodline to make itself have the same presence as the mother.
This is a cultivation method of the Demon Fetus, a kind of instinct they have even before birth.
The more powerful the Demon Fetus, the more so.
