Half a year later.
Yunling Town.
Temple of the Goddess.
The small temple at the beginning has now been expanded into a huge temple covering a vast area.
In addition to the main hall dedicated to the goddess, there are several branch halls nearby.
In the branch halls, the Orchid Goddess, the Moon Goddess, the Nine-tailed Goddess and the Body Saint are enshrined respectively.
At this time, the elders had already lined up in front of the Goddess Temple. Countless monks and common people had come early in the morning and were standing respectfully in front of the Goddess Temple.
This kind of situation had already begun half a year ago, when the Pure World stretched across the sky and people learned that the Demon Sword would destroy the world in a thousand days.
Originally, the Temple of the Goddess in Yunling Town was only popular among a few small towns around it.
But after the Demon Sword of Destruction appeared in the world, the three monks who built the Temple of the Goddess, Zhao Yi, Qian Er, and Sun San, announced to the public that the Saint Xia was the one enshrined in the Temple of the Goddess.
Many people did not believe it at first, but after Fang Xue, the Snow Fairy from Qinhe Garden in Yunling Town, came forward to confirm it, the news quickly spread throughout Dongxiu.
Everyone knows that Saint Lady Xia and Qin Gengyun are leading the Qinlian Sect to fight against the Demon Sword, but for ordinary cultivators and civilians, such a battle is not something they can participate in.
They were grateful for the virtue of the saint, so countless people rushed to the Temple of the Goddess in Yunling Town to worship and express their gratitude.
Mo Xiaolan, Tan Tai Mingyue and Si Minglan, who also helped stabilize the situation in Dongxiu and Xihuang, were also spontaneously built temples and worshipped with statues of gods.
As the greatest hope to resist the devil sword in a thousand days, Qin Gengyun, a body cultivation saint, naturally received the same treatment.
For a time, the Temple of the Goddess was very popular.
The cultivators from the four regions rushed to the Yunling Town in Dongxiu to pay homage. In just half a year, Yunling Town had become a town second only to Zhenyang City in terms of prosperity.
However, the distances between the four regions are far and the roads are bumpy. It is traversable for cultivators but difficult for ordinary people.
Therefore, Zhao Yi, Qian Er and Sun San called on monks from all over the country to build temples of the Goddess in various major cities in the four regions for devout people to pray.
In this way, temples dedicated to Saint Xia soon spread throughout the four regions of Hongzhou.
“Qian Er, Sun San, the three of us built the Goddess Temple just to express our gratitude to the Saint for giving us a new life. We never expected that it would develop into such a grand scene today.”
"Now countless merits from the four regions gather here every day. How should we deal with it?"
At this time, Zhao Yi and the other two were standing in a room behind the statue of Xia Qinglian. In the center of the room was a pool of merit, which was filled with pure white spiritual energy. It was the power of merit that was transformed from the reverence of people from all over the four regions for Xia Qinglian.
Qian Er said: "This belongs to the Saint Lady. Should we ask the Saint Lady for permission?"
Sun San immediately said, "That's right, I'll go find the queen right away."
"Fuck! Sun San, you just want to take this opportunity to see the Empress!"
Qian Er was furious: "Every time I see the queen, you are the one who licks her the most. Don't think of leaving us alone this time!"
Sun San sneered: "That's because your respect for the Queen is not as high as mine."
"What did you say?!"
"Stop arguing, both of you!" Zhao Yi stopped them, "Do you know where the queen is now? And if you calculate the time, the queen is about to give birth, so don't go and make trouble!"
Zhao Yi's words calmed the two of them down. Qian Er helplessly pointed at the pool of merit power that was about to overflow:
"What about all these merits? They will soon be full."
Sun San said: "If there is no more space, we can build a few more merit pools. The Eight Hundred Suns Goddess will have a decisive battle with the Demon Sword soon, and she might need it."
"Okay, let's do it!"
…
Deep in the northern wilderness.
At the foot of a big mountain, there is a house in the woods.
"Miss, push harder!"
"ah!!"
"Sister, do you want to eat something?"
"Xiao Hong, do you think the young lady looks like she wants to eat something?"
"ah!!!"
"Sister Xia, calm down! The house is about to collapse!"
"Oh my god, Caihe, is giving birth so scary?"
"Husband, it hurts! Ah!!"
"My lady, I'm here, I'm with you!"
“Wow~~Wow~~”
"The baby is born, it's born!"
"It's a boy!"
Amidst the hustle and bustle and shouting, Qin Gengyun brought a baby boy to Xia Qinglian, with a look of heartache and joy on his face:
"Madam, look, this is our child."
Xia Qinglian was lying on the bed, sweating and pale, but after seeing the child, a gentle smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Yun'er, my husband, is our Yun'er."
The couple had agreed beforehand that no matter whether it was a boy or a girl, the nickname would be Yun'er.
"Wow, this child is so ugly, he can't even see! Does he want to eat baked ham?"
Luo Xiaohong came over, took a piece of ham and put it to the child's mouth.
"Xiaohong, of course a newborn baby can't open his eyes, but he will be able to open them in a few days. He needs milk, let's go out."
Liusu, Xu Caihe and Zhou Linger quickly dragged Luo Xiaohong away.
Only Xia Qinglian and Qin Gengyun were left in the room. Xia Qinglian sat up from the bed and gently held the child in her arms with a doting look on her face.
"Husband, please give the child a name."
Now the child only has a nickname and has not yet been given a full name.
Qin Gengyun smiled and said, "Qin Yunling, how about this name?"
Xia Qinglian looked at him, her cold eyes were extremely gentle: "We met in Yunling, OK, this name is good!"
At this time, the child started crying, and Liusu's voice rang out from outside: "Miss, it's time to feed the child!"
Xia Qinglian was startled, "How do I feed her?"
"Oh, young lady, why are you asking this? Just feed your son-in-law the same way you usually do! Ouch! Young lady, can you hit me from such a distance? The incarnation is so terrifying, oh young lady, don't hit me, I was wrong!"
Xia Qinglian had entered the state of transformation three months ago. Now that Yu Weixian was merging with Jingshi, there were no more transformation hunters in the world. Not only Xia Qinglian, but also Luo Xiaohong, Su Hongling, Ye Xiyue, Mo Xiaolan, Si Minglan and Qin Gengyun had also entered the state of transformation one after another.
Although Qin Gengyun’s cultivation had reached the level of spiritual transformation, his physique was still far from reaching the level of a physical cultivation saint.
"Husband, then I...feed the child?"
"Okay, ma'am, feed it."
Xia Qinglian held the child in one hand, pulled down her clothes with the other, and brought the child to the front of the granary.
Qin Yunling took it in his mouth and started sucking it with a sizzling sound.
Xia Qinglian's lips curled up as she watched: "Husband, look, Yun'er is breastfeeding!"
Qin Gengyun also had a smile on his face and looked kind.
"Oh, my dear, it's time for you to practice."
Xia Qinglian quickly changed from a loving mother to a strict wife, and said to the outside:
"Xiao Hong, go help your husband train his body."
"OK!"
Luo Xiaohong's answer was heard outside. Qin Gengyun was reluctant to leave his wife and children, but he also knew that time was running out, so he gently kissed Xia Qinglian's cheek:
"My lady, you have worked hard."
After saying that, he left the room. Liusu, Xu Caihe and Zhou Linger who were waiting outside were all excited:
"Wow, my husband and concubine are going to start practicing again!"
