sūn lù yuǎn chén mò le shǎo xǔ ， ér hòu qiǎo shēng shuō dào ：“ nà shén me shèng cháo dà qǐ ， wǒ zhǔn bèi qīn zì qù jiē chù xià 。”
孙路远沉默了少许，而后悄声说道：“那什么圣朝大启，我准备亲自去接触下。”
Sun Luoyuan fell silent for a moment before whispering, "That Saint Dynasty Great启, I plan to go and make contact with them personally."
“ ń ？” sūn lù yáo wén yán yí zhèng 。
“嗯？”孙路遥闻言一怔。
"Um?" Sun Luoya was taken aback by this.
tā zhī dào gē gē shì yǒu gēn shèng cháo dà qǐ jiē chù de dǎ suàn de ， bù guò zhī qián shì dǎ suàn ràng shǒu xià sǐ shì xiān qù dǎ tàn xū shí 。
他知道哥哥是有跟圣朝大启接触的打算的，不过之前是打算让手下死士先去打探虚实。
He knew his brother had been planning to make contact with the Saint Dynasty Great启. However, previously, he intended to send his loyal assassins first to gather intelligence.
“ zěn me hū rán gǎi zhǔ yì le ？”
“怎么忽然改主意了？”
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
“ cǐ yī shí bǐ yī shí 。” sūn lù yuǎn miàn sè yán sù ，“ shuí zhī dào fú zhè lǎo dōng xī huì bì guān duō jiǔ 。 wǒ yào chèn zhe zhè nán dé de zì yóu shí jiān ， wèi wǒ men xiōng dì liǎ 、 yǐ jí sūn jiā de wèi lái zuò hǎo dǎ suàn 。”
“此一时彼一时。”孙路远面色严肃，“谁知道伏这老东西会闭关多久。我要趁着这难得的自由时间，为我们兄弟俩、以及孙家的未来做好打算。”
"This is one time and that is another," Sun Luoyuan said seriously. "Who knows how long this old thing will seclude himself. I want to take advantage of this rare free time to plan for our future, not just for me and my brother but also for the future of the Sun family."
sūn lù yuǎn yǎn shén yīn zhì ：“ yuán xiān wǒ qí shí hái yǒu diǎn yóu yù de 。 bù guò nà dào lí jiè ér qù de qī cǎi hóng guāng ， què shì zhí jiē ràng wǒ sǐ xīn le 。 zài wàn xiān méng ， wǒ men yǒng yuǎn dōu zhǐ néng shì bèi lì yòng de gōng jù 。 yǒu zhāo yī rì xuán huáng jiè fā shēng dà nàn ， nà xiē zhǎng jìng rén 、 chuán fǎ zhě táo nàn ， kěn dìng dū bú huì dài shàng wǒ men 。”
孙路远眼神阴鸷：“原先我其实还有点犹豫的。不过那道离界而去的七彩虹光，却是直接让我死心了。在万仙盟，我们永远都只能是被利用的工具。有朝一日玄黄界发生大难，那些掌镜人、传法者逃难，肯定都不会带上我们。”
Sun Luoyuan's eyes turned sinister: "Originally, I was still a bit hesitant. But that rainbow light leaving the world had made up my mind. In the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, we can only be tools to be used. One day, if there is a great calamity in the Xuanhuang Realm, those who oversee and transmit techniques will flee, but they definitely won't take us with them."
“ dà qǐ nà biān de qíng kuàng zé bù tóng le 。 suǒ wèi gōng mò dà yú cóng lóng ， chèn zhe duì fāng hái wèi fā jì jiù tóu kào ， jiāng lái shì chéng zhī hòu ， wǒ men jiù shì dà qǐ de chuán fǎ zhě le 。”
“大启那边的情况则不同了。所谓功莫大于从龙，趁着对方还未发迹就投靠，将来事成之后，我们就是大启的传法者了。”
"The situation on Great启 is different. The saying goes that nothing surpasses serving a dragon when it's still small. By joining before it rises to power, we can become transmitters for Great启 in the future."
“ dāng rán ， zuì zhōng hái shì yào kàn zhè shèng cháo dà qǐ de shí lì rú hé 。”
“当然，最终还是要看这圣朝大启的实力如何。”
"Of course, we still need to see how strong the Saint Dynasty Great启 is."
sūn lù yáo wēi wēi diǎn tóu 。
孙路遥微微点头。
Sun Luoya nodded slightly.
“ bù guò ， zhè dà qǐ xiǎo shì jiè shén mì yì cháng ， lián tiān xuán jìng zhōng dū méi yǒu duō shǎo zhū sī mǎ jì 。 gē nǐ yòu zěn me zhǎo tā men ？”
“不过，这大启小世界神秘异常，连天玄镜中都没有多少蛛丝马迹。哥你又怎么找他们？”
"But this Great启 world is incredibly mysterious, with no clear signs even in the Heavenly Mirror. How are you going to find them?"
sūn lù yuǎn shén mì yī xiào ：“ wǒ qǐng le yī wèi yǒu rén bāng máng tuī yǎn 。 suī rán méi néng suǒ dìng jù tǐ wèi zhì ， bù guò què yě zhǎo dào le xiǎo shì jiè de rù kǒu 。 shí dì yī kàn biàn zhī liǎo 。”
孙路远神秘一笑：“我请了一位友人帮忙推衍。虽然没能锁定具体位置，不过却也找到了小世界的入口。实地一看便知了。”
Sun Luoyuan smiled mysteriously: "I asked a friend to help me derive and calculate their location. Although I couldn't pinpoint it exactly, I found the entrance to the small world. You'll see when we get there."
“ gē ， bú huì yǒu wēi xiǎn ba ？” sūn lù yáo xīn zhōng hū de yǒng qǐ zhèn zhèn bù ān 。
“哥，不会有危险吧？”孙路遥心中忽的涌起阵阵不安。
"Brother, will it be dangerous?" Sun Luoya suddenly felt uneasy.
sūn lù yuǎn zé shì mǎn shì zì xìn ：“ fàng xīn ， yǐ gē de shí lì ， jiù suàn nà dà qǐ shì lóng tán hǔ xué 、 wǒ yě néng quán shēn ér tuì 。”
孙路远则是满是自信：“放心，以哥的实力，就算那大启是龙潭虎穴、我也能全身而退。”
Sun Luoyuan was full of confidence: "Don’t worry. With my strength, even if Great启 is a den of tigers and dragons, I can still come out unscathed."
ān fǔ le dì di jǐ jù hòu ， sūn lù yuǎn yòu jiē zhe shuō dào ：“ duì le ， hái yǒu gè hǎo xiāo xī 。 níng lù tā tū pò le ， huà shén hòu qī jù lí hé dào yě zhǐ shì yī bù zhī yáo 。”
安抚了弟弟几句后，孙路远又接着说道：“对了，还有个好消息。凝鹭她突破了，化神后期距离合道也只是一步之遥。”
After comforting his brother, Sun Luoyuan continued, "By the way, there's some good news. Ninglu has broken through. Her transformation to Immortal Stage is just one step away from achieving Dao Union."
“ tā tū pò de shí hòu qì jī wěn luàn ， wǒ yīn cǐ chá jué dào tā tǐ nèi hái yǐn cáng zhe lìng wài yī gǔ shēng jī 。”
“她突破的时候气机紊乱，我因此察觉到她体内还隐藏着另外一股生机。”
"When she broke through, her vital energy was chaotic, and I sensed another life force in her body."
“ shì tā cǐ qián jiù huái le lù ér de zhǒng ， bù guò yǒu xiē xiǎo xīn sī ， yì zhí yòng mì fǎ fēng yìn zhe 。” sūn lù yuǎn sì xiào fēi xiào dì shuō dào 。
“是她此前就怀了禄儿的种，不过有些小心思，一直用秘法封印着。”孙路远似笑非笑地说道。
"She had been pregnant with Lu'er before, but she kept it hidden using secret techniques," Sun Luoyuan said with a smile.
kàn zhe dì di yǒu xiē gǔ guài de yǎn shén ， sūn lù yuǎn zhèng sè dào ：“ wǒ yǐ jīng jiǎn yàn guò le ， shì wǒ sūn jiā xuè mài wú yì 。 bù guǎn níng lù tā yǒu shén me shēn fèn ， zhǐ yào néng wèi wǒ men sūn jiā chǎn zǎi ， nà dōu wú suǒ wèi 。”
看着弟弟有些古怪的眼神，孙路远正色道：“我已经检验过了，是我孙家血脉无异。不管凝鹭她有什么身份，只要能为我们孙家产崽，那都无所谓。”
Seeing his brother's strange expression, Sun Luoyuan said seriously, "I've tested it. It’s part of our Sun family lineage. No matter what Ninglu is, as long as she can bear children for us, that's all that matters."
“ wǒ dǎ suàn ， zàn shí ràng níng lù fēng yìn zhù tā fù zhōng tāi ér shēng jī 。 děng tā hé dào zhī hòu ， zài shēng xià lái 。” sūn lù yuǎn hū de shuō le zhè me yī jù 。
“我打算，暂时让凝鹭封印住她腹中胎儿生机。等她合道之后，再生下来。”孙路远忽的说了这么一句。
"I plan to have Ninglu seal her fetus temporarily until after she achieves Dao Union and gives birth," Sun Luoyuan suddenly said.
“ lù ér de tiān fù běn jiù bù fán ， níng lù de zī zhì yě suàn shàng kě 。 tā men liǎng de hòu dài ， jué duì shì sūn jiā xiǎo bèi zhōng zuì zhí de qī dài de le 。”
“禄儿的天赋本就不凡，凝鹭的资质也算尚可。他们两的后代，绝对是孙家小辈中最值得期待的了。”
"Lu'er has natural talent, and Ninglu’s abilities are decent. Their offspring will be the most promising among our younger generation."
“ xiū shì zài tūn shì tiān dì zhī pò de guò chéng zhōng ， tiān dì fǎ zé jiā shēn 。 ruò shì mǔ tǐ zhōng de tāi ér néng tóng bù gǎn yìng ……”
“修士在吞噬天地之魄的过程中，天地法则加身。若是母体中的胎儿能同步感应……”
"As cultivators absorb the essence of the cosmos, their divine soul strengthens. If the fetus in her womb can sense it simultaneously..."
sūn lù yuǎn de yǔ qì zhōng yǒu xiē xīng fèn ：“ kǒng pà zhè xiǎo wá wá jiāng lái dàn shēng zhī hòu ， tiān fù bú huì xùn sè yú xiān méng rèn yì yī wèi tiān jiāo 。 wǒ men sūn jiā cái suàn zhēn zhèng yǒu le jiē bān rén 。”
孙路远的语气中有些兴奋：“恐怕这小娃娃将来诞生之后，天赋不会逊色于仙盟任意一位天骄。我们孙家才算真正有了接班人。”
Sun Luoyuan's tone was excited: "This little one is likely to have a talent that surpasses any prodigy in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Our Sun family will finally have an heir."
“ zuì guān jiàn de shì ， xiàn zài de wǒ men ， yǒu zhè ge shí lì wèi tā qù móu huà yí gè tiān dì zhī pò 。”
“最关键的是，现在的我们，有这个实力为他去谋划一个天地之魄。”
"Most importantly, we now have the strength to plan for this fetus’s future."
tán lùn qǐ sūn jiā de wèi lái ， sūn lù yuǎn zǒng shì fǎng fú yǒu shuō bù wán de huà 。
谈论起孙家的未来，孙路远总是仿佛有说不完的话。
---
dì di sūn lù yáo yě shì xiǎn yǒu de jìng xià xīn lái ， wēi xiào líng tīng 。
弟弟孙路遥也是鲜有的静下心来，微笑聆听。
Discussing his family's future, Sun Luoyuan always seemed to have endless things to say.
“ zhēn shì hǎo yī fù xiōng dì qíng shēn de huà miàn a 。” zhí dào sūn lù yuǎn zǒu hòu ， nà shén mì xū yǐng qián bèi de jié jié guài xiào shēng ， bǎ tā jīng xǐng 。
“真是好一副兄弟情深的画面啊。”直到孙路远走后，那神秘虚影前辈的桀桀怪笑声，把他惊醒。
Sun Luoya, rarely so still, listened with a smile.
sūn lù yáo zhè cái xǐng wù ， tā zǎo yǐ jīng zuò guò xǔ duō bèi pò dà gē de shì qíng le 。
孙路遥这才醒悟，他早已经做过许多被迫大哥的事情了。
"Truly a picture of brotherly affection," the mysterious figure's cackling voice echoed after Sun Luoyuan left, startling him back into reality.
“ nǐ men sūn jiā nà xiǎo wá wá …… yǒu xiē yì si 。”
“你们孙家那小娃娃……有些意思。”
Sun Luoya realized he had already done many things under duress for his elder brother.
lǐ fán fēn shén de huà dǒu rán ràng sūn lù yáo de xīn tí dào le sǎng zi yǎn 。
李凡分神的话陡然让孙路遥的心提到了嗓子眼。
"The little one from your Sun family... intriguing."
“ fàng xīn ， wǒ hái bù zhì yú yǎn chán yí gè xiǎo hái zi de shēn tǐ 。” lǐ fán chī xiào dào 。
“放心，我还不至于眼馋一个小孩子的身体。”李凡嗤笑道。
Li Fan's distraction suddenly made Sun Luoya's heart race.
“ wǒ zhè yǒu yī mén 【 zào huà hōng lú gōng 】， kě bù duàn wā jué ròu shēn qián néng 。 zuì guān jiàn de shì ， méi yǒu xiū xíng mén kǎn ， nǎ pà zài niáng tāi lǐ yě néng xiū xíng 。 wǒ hái yǒu yī mén 【 wú jí yíng xū fǎ 】， kě tōng guò wǔ xíng xiāng shēng xiāng kè zhī lì 、 bù duàn zēng qiáng zì shēn shén hún ……”
“我这有一门【造化烘炉功】，可不断挖掘肉身潜能。最关键的是，没有修行门槛，哪怕在娘胎里也能修行。我还有一门【无极盈虚法】，可通过五行相生相克之力、不断增强自身神魂……”
"Don't worry. I'm not that envious of a child’s body," Li Fan scoffed.
lǐ fán fēn shén liáo liáo jǐ jù huà ， jiù jiāng sūn lù yáo shuō de xīn zhōng zhèn dòng 。
李凡分神寥寥几句话，就将孙路遥说的心中震动。
"I have a technique called [Creation Furnace Technique], which can continuously tap into the potential of the physical body. The key is, there are no cultivation门槛, even in the womb one can cultivate. I also have another technique called [Limitless盈虚Method]. It enhances my divine soul through the power of the Five Elements," Li Fan said.
“ wú jí yíng xū fǎ suī rán xiū liàn qǐ lái ， xū yào fǔ zhī yǐ wǔ xíng zhì bǎo ， bù guò xiǎng lái yǐ nǐ men sūn jiā mù qián de dǐ yùn ， yīng gāi nán bù dào nǐ men 。”
“无极盈虚法虽然修炼起来，需要辅之以五行至宝，不过想来以你们孙家目前的底蕴，应该难不倒你们。”
Li Fan's few words made Sun Luoya's heart tremble with excitement.
“ cóng xiān tiān tāi ér shí qī ， jiù zài shí kè chuí liàn zì shēn shén hún ròu shēn 。 gèng néng jiè zhù niáng shēn ， jìn jù lí gǎn wù xuán huáng tiān dào 。 zé zé …… wǒ dōu yǒu xiē qī dài ， zhè xiǎo wá wá jiāng lái shēng xià lái huì shì gè zěn me yàng de guài wù le 。” lǐ fán fēn shén fā chū yīn chén de xiào róng 。
“从先天胎儿时期，就在时刻锤炼自身神魂肉身。更能借助娘身，近距离感悟玄黄天道。啧啧……我都有些期待，这小娃娃将来生下来会是个怎么样的怪物了。”李凡分神发出阴沉的笑容。
"Although Limitless盈虚Method requires the use of Five Elemental Treasures, your family’s current resources should suffice."
“ qián bèi …… yǒu shén me tiáo jiàn ？” sūn lù yáo hěn xiǎn rán yě xīn dòng le 。
“前辈……有什么条件？”孙路遥很显然也心动了。
"From the moment it was a prenatal being, it has been constantly refining its divine soul and physical body. It can also draw closer to the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao through its mother's body. Zzz... I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of monster this little one will be when born," Li Fan said with a grim smile.
bù guò tā shēn kè de míng bái ， tiān dǐ xià méi yǒu bái chī de wǔ cān 。 dāng xià chén shēng wèn dào 。
不过他深刻的明白，天底下没有白吃的午餐。当下沉声问道。
"Senior... What are your conditions?" Sun Luoya was clearly tempted.
“ tiáo jiàn ？” shuí liào dào lǐ fán fēn shén lěng xiào yī shēng ，“ nǐ men sūn jiā yě pèi zài wǒ miàn qián tán tiáo jiàn ？”
“条件？”谁料到李凡分神冷笑一声，“你们孙家也配在我面前谈条件？”
But he deeply understood that there is no free lunch in the world and asked solemnly.
“ jǔ zú yě bù guò sān míng hé dào ， lǎo fū dàn zhǐ kě miè 。”
“举族也不过三名合道，老夫弹指可灭。”
"Conditions?" Li Fan sneered, "Your Sun family thinks you can negotiate terms with me?"
sūn lù yáo mò rán 。
孙路遥默然。
"The entire clan has only three Dao Union members. A mere snap of my fingers could destroy them."
“ bù guò shì ， xīn xuè lái cháo ， yī cì cháng shì bà le 。” lǐ fán fēn shén yǔ qì yōu yōu dào 。
“不过是，心血来潮，一次尝试罢了。”李凡分神语气幽幽道。
Sun Luoya remained silent.
lǐ fán bìng méi yǒu shuō jiǎ huà 。
李凡并没有说假话。
"It was just a whim, a single attempt," Li Fan said softly.
shí jì shàng ， tā bǐ sūn jiā liǎng xiōng dì hái yào liǎo jiě wú níng lù dù zhōng tāi ér de qíng kuàng 。
实际上，他比孙家两兄弟还要了解吴凝鹭肚中胎儿的情况。
Li Fan did not lie.
cǐ qián tā wèi le guān cè wàn xiān méng lí jiè ér qù de qī cǎi hóng guāng ， fēn hún jiè zhù le wú níng lù de shēn qū 、 qián fú wài chū qù dǎ zào le yī xiē kuǐ lěi 。
此前他为了观测万仙盟离界而去的七彩虹光，分魂借助了吴凝鹭的身躯、潜伏外出去打造了一些傀儡。
In fact, he knew more about Wu Ninglu's fetus than the two brothers combined.
ér lǐ fán fā xiàn ， jiù shì tā zài fù shēn de zhè duàn shí jiān ， nà tāi ér jìng rán yǐn yǐn yǒu suǒ gǎn yìng 。
而李凡发现，就是他在附身的这段时间，那胎儿竟然隐隐有所感应。
To observe the rainbow light leaving the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, his soul fragment had used Wu Ninglu’s body to create some puppets. During this time, he found that the fetus seemed to sense him instinctively and even tried to drive him away.
cháo zhe tā fā chū zhèn zhèn běn néng de “ qū zhú ” de niàn tou 。
朝着他发出阵阵本能的“驱逐”的念头。
---
zhè kě ràng lǐ fán lái le xìng qù 。
这可让李凡来了兴趣。
This intrigued Li Fan. He sensed that if the fetus could be born successfully, its future would likely be extraordinary.
tā yǒu yù gǎn ， ruò shì zhè tāi ér néng shùn lì chū shēng ， kǒng pà jiāng lái chéng jiù bì bù jiǎn dān 。
他有预感，若是这胎儿能顺利出生，恐怕将来成就必不简单。
Under normal circumstances, a fetus sealed by its mother for too long would find it difficult to survive. Even if it did manage to be born, it would have an inherently weak fate and no chance of cultivation.
ruò shì zhèng cháng qíng kuàng ， zhè tāi ér bèi qí shēng mǔ fēng yìn yā zhì tài jiǔ ， xiǎng yào shùn lì cún huó bìng bù tài róng yì 。
若是正常情况，这胎儿被其生母封印压制太久，想要顺利存活并不太容易。
But with Li Fan's intervention in this world, he was destined for a new life.
jiù suàn néng miǎn qiǎng dàn shēng ， yě shì xiān tiān bù zú de mìng yùn 。
就算能勉强诞生，也是先天不足的命运。
Just as Li Fan's soul fragment took on the role of a fetal teacher, Sun Luoyuan had already found the entrance to the Great启 small world. His array-breaking plate kept flashing as he tried to derive and find the flaw in the array.
gèng bié tán xiū xíng le 。
更别谈修行了。
He borrowed it from Ji Hongdiao specifically for this purpose; although it wasn't as effective as being there himself, it should still be able to break through ordinary protective arrays.
bù guò cǐ shì yǒu lǐ fán chā shǒu ， tā jiāng yíng lái zì jǐ quán xīn de mìng yùn 。
不过此世有李凡插手，他将迎来自己全新的命运。
However, the array-breaking plate seemed broken, only flashing without any results.
jiù zài lǐ fán fēn hún chōng dāng qǐ le tāi jiào lǎo shī de shí hòu ， sūn lù yuǎn yǐ jīng zhǎo dào le dà qǐ xiǎo shì jiè rù kǒu 。
就在李凡分魂充当起了胎教老师的时候，孙路远已经找到了大启小世界入口。
"Shouldn’t it work?"
shǒu zhōng pò zhèn dié bù duàn shǎn dòng ， zhèng yào tuī yǎn 、 zhǎo chū zhè lǐ zhèn fǎ de pò zhàn suǒ zài 。
手中破阵碟不断闪动，正要推衍、找出这里阵法的破绽所在。
Sun Luoyuan was puzzled. He changed his position with the array-breaking plate and said, "Why not just say it? Who would turn away my Saint Dynasty Great启?"
zhè shì tā tè yì gēn jì hóng dào jiè guò lái de pò zhèn bǎo bèi ， suī shuō kěn dìng bù rú duì fāng qīn zhì ， dàn xiǎng yào pò jiě yì bān de fáng hù fǎ zhèn yīng gāi hái shì méi yǒu wèn tí de 。
这是他特意跟纪宏道借过来的破阵宝贝，虽说肯定不如对方亲至，但想要破解一般的防护法阵应该还是没有问题的。
Just as Sun Luoyuan was still probing, a voice suddenly appeared in his ear.
bù xiǎng ， nà pò zhèn dié dàn què xiàng shì huài le bān ， zhǐ shì shǎn guāng 、 chí chí méi yǒu jié guǒ 。
不想，那破阵碟但却像是坏了般，只是闪光、迟迟没有结果。
Sun Luoyuan's heart jumped, he put away the array-breaking plate and looked警惕ly at the direction of the sound.
“ bù yīng gāi a ？”
“不应该啊？”
A handsome young man stood there with his arms crossed, looking at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
sūn lù yuǎn yǒu xiē mí huò 。
孙路远有些迷惑。
"Little friend, may I ask?"
shǒu chí pò zhèn dié ， biàn le gè fāng wèi 。
手持破阵碟，变了个方位。
Although the other person only had an infant-level aura, the evil nature emanating from him made Sun Luoyuan not take him lightly.
Sun Luoyuan fell silent for a moment before whispering, "That Saint Dynasty Great启, I plan to go and make contact with them personally."
"Um?" Sun Luoya was taken aback by this.
He knew his brother had been planning to make contact with the Saint Dynasty Great启. However, previously, he intended to send his loyal assassins first to gather intelligence.
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"This is one time and that is another," Sun Luoyuan said seriously. "Who knows how long this old thing will seclude himself. I want to take advantage of this rare free time to plan for our future, not just for me and my brother but also for the future of the Sun family."
Sun Luoyuan's eyes turned sinister: "Originally, I was still a bit hesitant. But that rainbow light leaving the world had made up my mind.

"The situation on Great启 is different. The saying goes that nothing surpasses serving a dragon when it's still small. By joining before it rises to power, we can become transmitters for Great启 in the future."
"Of course, we still need to see how strong the Saint Dynasty Great启 is."
Sun Luoya nodded slightly.
"But this Great启 world is incredibly mysterious, with no clear signs even in the Heavenly Mirror. How are you going to find them?"
Sun Luoyuan smiled mysteriously: "I asked a friend to help me derive and calculate their location. Although I couldn't pinpoint it exactly, I found the entrance to the small world. You'll see when we get there."
"Brother, will it be dangerous?" Sun Luoya suddenly felt uneasy.
Sun Luoyuan was full of confidence: "Don’t worry. With my strength, even if Great启 is a den of tigers and dragons, I can still come out unscathed."
After comforting his brother, Sun Luoyuan continued, "By the way, there's some good news. Ninglu has broken through. Her transformation to Immortal Stage is just one step away from achieving Dao Union."

"Most importantly, we now have the strength to plan for this fetus’s future."

Just as Li Fan's soul fragment took on the role of a fetal teacher, Sun Luoyuan had already found the entrance to the Great启 small world. His array-breaking plate kept flashing as he tried to derive and find the flaw in the array.
He borrowed it from Ji Hongdiao specifically for this purpose; although it wasn't as effective as being there himself, it should still be able to break through ordinary protective arrays.
However, the array-breaking plate seemed broken, only flashing without any results.
"Shouldn’t it work?"
Sun Luoyuan was puzzled. He changed his position with the array-breaking plate and said, "Why not just say it? Who would turn away my Saint Dynasty Great启?"
Just as Sun Luoyuan was still probing, a voice suddenly appeared in his ear.
Sun Luoyuan's heart jumped, he put away the array-breaking plate and looked警惕ly at the direction of the sound.
A handsome young man stood there with his arms crossed, looking at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"Little friend, may I ask?"
Although the other person only had an infant-level aura, the evil nature emanating from him made Sun Luoyuan not take him lightly.
