Chapter 944: Many children, many blessings
While their Qi Refining cultivation is still at the Nascent Soul stage, their Body Refining cultivation has already advanced to the Cave Heaven stage. Such Body Refining prodigies do exist in the Immortal Realm, but they are extremely rare. At least they are almost non-existent in the True Immortal lineages. Only one or two of them might be found among the core disciples of some Golden Immortal lineages that are extremely skilled in Body Refining.
Unless it's within the Daoist forces, such as the Daoist lineage established by the Heavenly Martial Immortal Lord, the Heavenly Martial Hall, there might be quite a few such beings.
"The true lineage of the Dao Lord's power?" The Tianmang Sect disciple guarding the gate trembled slightly.
"May I ask...may I ask if you are a disciple of the Tianwu Sect?"
Jing Yu's eyes flashed, realizing he might be mistaken for a true disciple of the Dao Lord's faction. So he smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying it.
"I'm sorry, but I cannot reveal my lineage while I'm currently traveling the world..."
"Yes, yes... I apologize for the abrupt revision."
Even if the person before him wasn't from the Heavenly Martial Hall, he was definitely a true disciple of a Golden Immortal lineage related to the Heavenly Martial Immortal Lord. Regardless of his identity, he was someone a mere gatekeeper couldn't afford to offend, so he became even more respectful.
"Please move your carriage to the reception hall, where servants will prepare a seat for you."
He immediately turned to another fellow disciple and shouted, "Why aren't you going to inform the young master that a distinguished guest has arrived?"
Jing Yu stopped the disciple who was about to enter and announce his arrival with one hand, and lowered his voice: "There's no need for that. I'm traveling around, and I'm planning to hide my identity and hone my Dao heart... If I'm always surrounded by a retinue, how can I train and cultivate?"
The disciples of the Heavenly Mang Sect broke out in a cold sweat, nodding repeatedly: "Yes...yes...I didn't think this through. I'll just give you the title of True Immortal Disciple to get by..."
"Thank you." Jing Yu nodded and smiled, then gracefully stepped into the inner city of Tianmang.
The reception hall was not hard to find, and when Jing Yu arrived, it was already full of guests.
The cultivators who were able to enter this reception hall were almost all outstanding disciples of the True Immortal forces, and the vast majority of them were at the Cave Heaven cultivation level, while there were very few at the Nascent Soul or Mahayana cultivation levels.
Jing Yu found an empty seat in a corner and sat down, observing the young man in the main seat without making a sound—Ming Yutai, dressed in a plain robe, with a handsome face, was smiling and talking with an old man beside him.
If one did not know his identity beforehand, he would seem like an ordinary Confucian scholar.
The many prodigies in the reception room were quite friendly to this young master Ming. Jing Yu had amazing spiritual senses and was also skilled in interpreting consciousness using the [Divine Dream Law]. He was most sensitive to the emotional fluctuations and thoughts of others. He was somewhat surprised to find that the cultivators present did not have much mockery towards Ming Yutai—not even in secret.
They didn't seem to care much about the scandalous marriage between the Ming and Ling families.
Upon further reflection, Jing Yu understood.
Based on Ming Yutai's background, personality, appearance, aptitude, and comprehension, if he were placed in the Third Heaven to compete with the geniuses of the Golden Immortals or even the Dao Lords, he might be just another face in the crowd. But in the Second Heaven, he would be an absolute top choice.
If the female cultivators who wanted to marry Mingyutai lined up, it would stretch from the Tianmang Starfield all the way to the Suilan Starfield.
Let alone being cuckolded by the void, even if Ming Yutai's crotch were slashed right now, there would probably be a ton of noble ladies vying to become his partner.
Jing Yu casually picked up a grape and put it in her mouth. Suddenly, she felt the Xuanjing in her dantian flicker slightly, and a faint fluctuation of destiny permeated around Ming Yutai.
He was shocked. This was a manifestation of the resonance between the Xuanjing Divine Power and his destiny, indicating that Mingyutai, who occupied the main position, had a destiny!
He eagerly cast a detection spell, and sure enough, it revealed a destiny he had never seen before—
"【Many Children, Many Blessings】, Grade: Spiritual (Purple)".
"Specific functions: greatly enhances the owner's fertility, increases the probability of giving birth to offspring, and can break down racial barriers. Even if mating with different races, there is a chance of conceiving offspring... and the direct offspring born have a higher chance of high quality."
"Furthermore, for each offspring born, if the offspring achieves success in cultivation, a portion of their cultivation will be fed back to the owner through the bloodline link. This function has diminishing marginal returns."
"Many children, many blessings... A divine destiny!"
Jing Yu was astonished, thinking to herself, "This destiny... is simply a natural-born breeding physique! If any family had such a member, the family's prosperity would be a foregone conclusion!"
"No wonder the Ming family of the Tianmang Sect specifically requested this young master of the Ming family for marriage..."
Fate is not a secret in the Immortal Realm. The methods to detect fate may not be widespread in the First Heaven, but in the Second Heaven and above, Celestial Immortal forces have the opportunity to detect fate if they spend a lot of money. As for True Immortal forces? They are so wealthy that they can even test the fate of each generation of core disciples.
Therefore, it was impossible for the Tianmang Sect not to know about Mingyutai's destiny.
But Jing Yu was a little puzzled: "That's not right. Ming Yutai has no Daoist partner, nor has there ever been any rumor that he has concubines to serve him, and he has no children. With such a destiny, how come the Tianmang Sect hasn't used him as a stud? That's really the way of the righteous path."
At this moment, Ming Yutai stood up, raised his cup and said with a smile, "I am honored that you all think highly of me and have supported me today. I would like to offer you all a toast."
"Today's [Mingtai Banquet] is as it always has been, a time for discussing profound mysteries, exchanging ideas, and exploring the path of cultivation together... All of you here are outstanding individuals, and if you have any guidance on the path of cultivation, please feel free to offer your advice. If I am moved by anything, I will certainly present you with a generous gift."
"I'll go first!"
A handsome young man with a jade-like face stepped forward first and bowed.
The title "Jade-Faced Gentleman" is not a figurative expression, but rather reflects the fact that his exposed skin is truly as translucent as jade, clearly indicating that he is a prodigy who has achieved something in the art of jade.
"Since Young Master Ming's name contains the character 'jade,' I will use this character as the starting point to explain my humble opinion on the 'Laws of Jade.'"
Ming Yutai was overjoyed: "Young Master Yu has been in seclusion for a hundred years. I'm afraid the invitations from your residence must have piled up like mountains by now. I haven't seen you at the previous hundred Mingtai Banquets. I never thought I would have the opportunity to hear your profound insights today."
"I have some knowledge of the [Laws of Jade], so I am all ears."
The young master Yu smiled slightly, showing no stage fright whatsoever. He effortlessly shared his insights on the Dao of Jade, and after his lecture, the Jade Law around him manifested. On the table near the young master Yu, some spiritual fruits and food turned into jade.
Jing Yu, being further away, had no such worries. He held a shiny chicken leg in one hand and listened with great interest.
