Transmigrating Into a Fantasy World: Signing in During Pregnancy, Reaching the Summit with My Childhood Sweetheart

Elder Elder Mu Li fell silent, his expression shifting uncertainly. After a long time, he let out a long breath, the worry in his eyes deepening. ”If it is truly as Your Excellency says... then this matter is likely more troublesome than I imagined. That evil power could actually penetrate an ancient Restriction and erode my clan’s Foundation...”

He looked at Nangong Xuan again, his gaze filled with a bit more expectation and gravity. ”In that case, I must implore Your Excellency for help even more! If it truly is that evil power at work, I fear only someone like Your Excellency, who has dealt with it and possesses special power, can glimpse the truth!”

Nangong Xuan did not answer immediately but looked at Su Muxue and Zi Linger. Although there was worry in the two women’s eyes, they both nodded slightly, indicating that he should decide. They understood that this was the best choice at the moment, and if it truly was the ”dark side” erosion, they could not sit idly by.

Nangong Xuan took a deep breath and made a decision. ”Very well. Once our injuries have recovered by seventy or eighty percent, I will head to the Ancestral Wood Forest Core for you, Elder. But before that, I need Elder to provide more detailed information about the Ancestral Wood Forest and the Primal Spiritual Breath so that we can prepare early.”

Seeing Nangong Xuan agree, Elder Elder Mu Li’s face immediately showed relief and gratitude. ”Naturally! I will have someone bring the rubbings of the relevant ancient records later. The three of you should rest here peacefully for these few days. All necessary medicine and food will be provided; no one will disturb you.”

He gave a few more instructions and then got up to take his leave, his steps seeming a bit lighter.

After seeing the Elder off and closing the door, the expressions of the three in the room did not relax.

”Brother Xuan, is it really that kind of power again?” Zi Linger’s small face was pale, still feeling lingering fear.

”Most likely.” Nangong Xuan’s expression was heavy. ”The erosion range of the ’dark side’ is likely far beyond our imagination. This Remnant Peoples Valley seems isolated from the world, yet it has not been spared.”

Su Muxue said worriedly, ”With our current state, going to investigate such a dangerous place...”

”That is why we must recover as quickly as possible.” Nangong Xuan’s eyes were sharp. ”The balance of the four keys is more wonderful than imagined; the recovery speed is extremely fast. Moreover, although the ’Primal Spiritual Breath’ in this valley is declining, for me and the star Core, it might be a good supplement.”

He closed his eyes to look within again, actively guiding the four keys to rotate, accelerating the absorption of the unique vegetation spiritual Qi permeating the air. Sure enough, the effect was much stronger than passive absorption, and the recovery speed of his injuries increased by another notch. The chaos star core in his bosom also showed a faint hint of ”interest” in this spiritual breath.

In the following days, the three did not leave the house, focusing entirely on closed-door cultivation to heal their injuries.

Shi Meng delivered food and ointment on time every day. His attitude was still wary but not difficult. Elder Elder Mu Li also sent someone with several ancient animal skin scrolls, which recorded some legends and taboos about the Ancestral Wood Forest, the Primal Spiritual Breath, and the Wood Spirit Clan in ancient diagrams and text.

Nangong Xuan read these ancient records thirstily, with Su Muxue and Zi Linger assisting in the interpretation. As their understanding of the valley deepened, they increasingly felt that this place was extraordinary, and the anomaly at the Ancestral Wood Forest Core also appeared increasingly strange and unpredictable.

At the same time, Nangong Xuan’s recovery speed was astonishing. In just three days, his strength had recovered to the Golden Core Middle Stage level, and his Nirvana Sword Essence became increasingly pure. Su Muxue and Zi Linger had also basically fully recovered.

On the morning of the fourth day, Nangong Xuan opened his eyes, a sharp light hidden within his pupils. Although his surrounding aura was still deliberately restrained, he was already like a hidden dragon in an abyss.

He looked out the window, his gaze seemingly penetrating the stone walls to fall upon that lush but secretly unsettling ancient woodland deep in the valley.
