Chen Zhi's spirit sank deeply.
If his memory served him right, that so-called Ancient Secret Realm was actually a place of ancient great peril!
In the plot of the game "Great Cultivation," the tragic cannon fodder Chen Zhixing turned evil, becoming perverse and violent, psychologically distorted, leading to his eventual offense against the protagonist and being killed by them.
A significant portion of the reason was related to this so-called Ancient Secret Realm.
Because Chen Tianliang ventured to that ancient perilous land, then plotted against there, his Great Tao Foundation was damaged, his cultivation fell from the True Self Realm to the Divine Travel Realm, and his path of cultivation was severed for life, triggering a series of chain reactions.
The Chen Family, excluding those born of concubines, had four branches of direct descendants.
Though Chen Tianliang was not the eldest son, he was from the third branch.
But due to Chen Tianliang's formidable strength and superior combat prowess, he held a position among these four branch descendants.
As a result, Chen Tianliang's cultivation plummeted, and being unable to cultivate further, his status within the family dropped significantly.
Meanwhile, the naturally low-talented Chen Zhixing was naturally neglected during his childhood, facing much bullying.
Chen Tianliang appeared indifferent, yet in truth, he was extremely proud by nature, unable to accept such blows.
Thus, he placed all his hopes on Chen Zhixing.
During Chen Zhixing's childhood, if he did not put effort into cultivation, he would be beaten or scolded, blamed for being stupid or mockingly told he was a useless offspring.
All these reasons culminated in Chen Zhixing's rebellious mentality of 'Since you all think I'm useless, then watch me be useless,' which led him to gradually fall, ultimately inviting his doom.
"So the reason Chen Tianliang went to that perilous place back then was for me?"
Chen Zhi sighed inwardly.
Everything in the world has cause and effect.
He hadn't expected that the disastrous effect had already been planted when he was still a fetus.
"No, I must prevent all this!"
A sense of urgency arose within Chen Zhi's mind.
Play is one thing, chaos is another, but he cannot play with his own father.
After all, Chen Tianliang is his father in this life, and he cannot watch Chen Tianliang walk down a path of ruin.
Just as Chen Zhi was pondering.
"Tianliang, how dangerous is that Ancient Secret Realm?"
"I don't know; it's a new Secret Realm, and nobody knows what's inside."
"I see... Tianliang, in my opinion, should we just let it go? The child will be born in a few months, and I don't want you taking risks at this time."
"Hahaha, don't worry, wife, the Secret Realm won't open until half a year later. By then, the child will surely be born. Besides, I have a few old friends going there with me this time, and we are confident."
"Then... alright, whatever you decide, I'll support you."
Listening to the conversation between his parents, Chen Zhi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness.
There are still over six months to rewrite everything.
...
...
In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed.
Chen Zhi was now eight months into his fetal development.
At this moment, Chen Zhi had completely formed his little hands and little feet, and even on his head, a patch of black fetal hair had grown.
Under the nourishment of various heavenly materials and earthly treasures from Chen Tianliang, Chen Zhi had developed remarkably well, with thick black hair, robust bones, and a strong heartbeat.
His Spiritual Power even reached a range of fifty meters outside.
At this moment, within Yingy Shuangshuang's swollen belly.
Little Chen Zhi sat cross-legged, eyes tightly closed.
A large amount of Spiritual Qi was absorbed through the umbilical cord.
As Chen Zhi operated the "Innate Primordial Tao Scripture," the flow of Spiritual Qi circulated through the body and surged toward the Heaven-Reaching Acupoint.
It was the final blockage in his meridian acupoint system!
Once he cleared this blockage, he would acquire the Innate Primordial Tao Body!
From then on, without any hindrance or impurities, his path of cultivation would be smooth without any barriers.
Thud!
A dull sound echoed, the final blockage at the Heaven-Reaching Acupoint was effortlessly cleared.
[Ding! You have cleared all blockages in your body, obtaining the Innate Primordial Tao Body!]
[Ding! The Spiritual Qi within your body will be converted into the Power of Heaven and Earth!]
A system prompt sounded in Chen Zhi's mind.
Chen Zhi could plainly feel his proximity to the heavens at this moment.
As if he had become a favored child of the heavens, and if not for Yingy Shuangshuang's presence as a barrier, endless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi would flood into him.
Moreover, the Spiritual Qi previously accumulated in his dantian was swiftly transforming into a more potent Innate Primordial Power!
At this instant, Chen Zhi had a moment of realization.
If he wished, he could even break out of the womb now!
"Uh... bursting out like that would be terrifying, I'd definitely be considered a demonic birth."
Chen Zhi quickly shook his head. It had only been two full months since birth, no need to rush.
...
...
Two months later.
Chen Zhi heard the noisy clamor outside and woke up from his slumber with a sense of anticipation.
"Finally time to go out."
Chen Zhi touched his little home, feeling a strange sense of reluctance, and couldn't help but silently sing in his heart: "Goodbye mama, tonight I'm going to set sail, don't worry about me, I have the oars of joy and wisdom....."
After finishing the song.
Chen Zhi rolled his body, chose a good fetal position, and charged forward with all his might.
With a cry of 'wa', Chen Zhi left his small home.
Then someone took scissors and removed his heavy baggage.
"Seven pounds nine ounces! It's a boy!"
Before he could feel or adapt, someone lifted his little feet and slapped the bottom of them a few times.
A prompting voice sounded.
"Cry! Quickly cry!"
Chen Zhi was helpless and had to cooperate with their performance, opening his mouth and crying loudly 'waa waa waa'.
"Madam, just look, how loud the child's voice is, and how good-looking!"
The midwife carried Chen Zhi to the bedside.
Chen Zhi also opened his eyes to look.
He saw a pale-faced, gently sweaty woman, looking at him with a face full of kindness.
This was his mother in this life.
Inexplicably, smelling the scent from his mother, a sense of warmth and comfort welled up in Chen Zhi's heart.
However, before he could continue to familiarize himself with his mother's scent.
"Hehe haha!"
"Quick, let me have a look!"
With a bold laugh sound, Chen Zhi saw a burly, rugged-faced middle-aged man, eyes shining, rubbing his hands together, sneaking up to him.
Chen Tianliang picked Chen Zhi up and looked at him, then laughed aloud: "He's got a nose and eyes, really looks like me!"
"..." Chen Zhi glanced at him sideways, good grief, are other people's babies born without a nose and eyes?
"Hahaha, my big boy, dad will tell you the story of the golden axe, silver axe, and iron axe tonight, how about it....."
Before Chen Tianliang could finish speaking.
Chen Zhi slowly raised his little hand, then aimed carefully.
With a 'smack' sound.
Chen Zhi's little hand slapped right on Chen Tianliang's face.
Ah, this thought is now clear!
...
...
[I was writing about the later stages, but seeing many friends seem to be concerned about fetal matters, and I'm quite a detail-oriented person, so I'll come back to explain a few points.
My child was born on March 19 this year, I participated in all the prenatal checkups, so I should be fairly knowledgeable about fetal development.
Generally speaking, fetal movement starts to occur around two to three months, and this can be felt.
By the 24th week, which is the sixth month, during the first small ultrasound screen, the skeletal limbs are almost fully grown, and facial features and profile can be seen clearly. This exam determines if the baby has any abnormalities.
Between the 28th to 30th week, which is the seventh month, the second major ultrasound screen occurs.
By this time, the fetus's nails, hair, bones, etc., are fully developed.
This is approximately how the child will look at birth.
I wrote about the protagonist at the eighth month, and the protagonist consumed many heavenly materials and earthly treasures, cultivated the Tao body, so the bones are strong and hair thick.
Is there any problem with that?
Moreover, the protagonist started cultivation in the womb, which is not quite normal, isn't it?
Is there any problem with that?
Also, writing a book isn't science popularization, many details I won't scrutinize thoroughly. If one persists in viewing it with a critical inspecting eye, then everything would be incorrect.
Writing a book and making friends are similar, focus more on strengths and less on weaknesses.
Otherwise, there would be too many points to nitpick.
If I've explained it this way, and still insist on arguing, then... well, whatever you say is right.
Finally, sorry for affecting everyone's reading experience.
Hope everyone enjoys. O(∩_∩)O]
