Chong Jiu led Yu Chuan off the spirit boat to the other side of Jingyan Mountain, set up a defensive formation, and then let Yu Chuan begin refining the sundial.

Yan Xi walked to Shu Jianyue's side, took her hand and said, "Mother, there won't be any problems. Chuan Chuan has the inheritance, and with Father's help, everything will definitely be alright."

"Hmm, I'm not worried that Yu'er won't be able to handle that thing." She just wanted to see how Chongjiu would guide Yu'er.

Seeing that Zhongjiu had placed his index finger on Yuchuan's brow, Shu Jianyue looked away.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, he began practicing the Illusionary God Whip.

She has now mastered the fourth move, and the whip in her hands is like a living thing.

She hasn't been practicing the Binding God Technique much lately because she's reached a bottleneck and is stuck at the fourth level of Spirit Control without making any progress.

Shu Jianyue had just put away the green vine when Chong Jiu returned.

"You're back. Is Yu'er alright?"

Chong Jiu nodded, "The rest is up to him. There's nothing I can do there." Besides, he's currently sealed off from all spiritual and mental power, so he can't help even if he wanted to.

Shu Jianyue took out a few apples and tossed them to Xiang Ren. She then walked to the side of the spirit boat while eating them, looking at Yu Chuan in the distance.

Chong Jiu glanced at the spiritual fruit in his hand, took a bite, and the sweet and sour taste made him frown slightly before letting go.

After eating the spiritual fruit and wiping his hands clean, he picked up Yan Xi, who had been standing quietly to the side. "Xi Xi, none of the things here are suitable for you. Once your father recovers, we'll go to the Underworld to find what you need."

"Okay, thank you, Father." Yan'er snuggled against his neck.

The patient stiffened slightly after the intense moxibustion, but then recovered.

Before long, the Earth-Splitting Lizard rushed over and stood not far from the spirit boat, not watching and not daring to approach.

Chong Jiu looked at Shu Jianyue and said, "He gave me the meteorite, and I promised to take him out."

Shu Jianyue nodded at the Earth-Splitting Lizard that had already transformed into human form. She had used the meteorite, so she had no reason to refuse.

He nodded to the Earth-Splittering Lizard, then grinned and boarded the spirit boat.

Once aboard the spirit boat, he found a corner to stay in, his eyes darting around.

Yu Chuan didn't succeed until a glimmer of light appeared on the horizon, and his cultivation level instantly jumped from the third stage of the Golden Core realm to the ninth stage.

The upward trend that was initially faintly emerging was suppressed by him.

Yu Chuan's figure also visibly began to grow taller; the originally small, chubby boy suddenly became much thinner.

His height stopped at just over one meter.

Influenced by this, Yan Xi also sat down cross-legged and began to receive the inheritance.

Shu Jianyue frowned and looked at Chong Jiu, "Are they alright?"

Chong Jiu nodded, "It's alright. He and Xi Xi are different from ordinary people. They grow with their cultivation level, so there's no need to worry."

"Then why didn't they grow when they reached the Golden Core stage?" How come they grew when they reached the ninth level of the Golden Core stage?

“Their bloodline… they can sense what is best for them. Their golden cores don’t grow long, probably because their inheritance hasn’t been activated.” Chong Jiu thought of his identity, glanced at Shu Jianyue, and said, “I’ll tell you why they are like this after they have fully inherited the inheritance.”

Shu Jianyue frowned and nodded, looking at Yan Xi, "The two of them complement each other. Yu'er is growing up, will Xi Xi grow up too?"

Chong Jiu nodded, "But this time she can only attract half of Yu'er's energy."

Yu Chuan opened his eyes, looked down at his exposed ankles and hands, and jumped up.

She darted over with a smile, "Mom, I've grown up."

Shu Jianyue then looked at the child, whose height had suddenly reached her waist, and said, "Uh, you've not only grown taller, but you've also gained a lot of weight."

Yu Chuan jumped down, grinning from ear to ear.

Shu Jianyue looked at the clothes he was wearing that could only cover his vital parts, rummaged through her space, and pulled out a light down jacket that he could wear.

"Just wear these for now, and we'll find something suitable once we're out of the Heavenly Barrier Demon Realm."

Yu Chuan looked at the strange clothes in her hand and asked, "Mother, what kind of clothes are these?"

"Mother doesn't know either, but it's fine as long as it's wearable." Shu Jianyue simply put the clothes on him.

You can't exactly say that she brought this from her past life, can you?

Chong Jiu glanced at her, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at the dress.

As expected, Yan Xi was not as tall as Yu Chuan, only growing to about 70 centimeters before stopping, but their cultivation level was the same, both being at the ninth level of the Golden Core stage.

Shu Jianyue still gave her a light down jacket, since she didn't have any suitable ancient costumes for them in her space.

Once everything was ready, they steered the spirit boat away from the summit of Jingyan Mountain and landed at its foot.

Before the spirit boat fell, Chongjiu put his mask back on.

When Fan Jiang Shaoen saw them coming, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, only one group of people came from the middle. They did not approach, but instead headed towards the capital."

Shu Jianyue nodded. "Alright, you can leave now. If you dare to expose our presence and whereabouts, then be prepared to suffer the same fate as Luo Yanhuyang."

Fan Jiang Shaoen immediately nodded. He did want to stay by their side, but he also knew the gap between humans and demons.

After bowing, they flew towards the capital.

Sky glanced at Chong Jiu and stepped forward to ask, "Master, his words are not credible."

"But he didn't dare to tell anyone, because he wouldn't get any benefit from it."

"Let's set off first. If Funatong breaks through, he will catch up on his own."

The spirit boat flew towards the direction of the capital, and after passing Jingyan Mountain, it saw the Yinsui River that Fu Natong had mentioned.

The river looked like it was surging and turbulent, yet it didn't make a sound as I approached; the water was as black as ink.

Shu Jianyue glanced at it, then piloted the spirit boat and flew over.
