"What?!!!!"
In an instant, all the dragon masters present were in an uproar. They rushed towards the old man and eagerly placed their hands on his obviously bulging belly.
Aged, withered hands rubbed back and forth on the rounded belly, some even pressing their ears against it to try and hear the baby's movements. Several white-bearded old men huddled together, their faces displaying an incredulous, fanatical expression.
The scene was so shocking that Luo Zhen couldn't help but turn his face away, his lips twitching as he looked away. Even he, as the one who started it all, felt that the scene before him was truly an eyesore.
Jing Yuan said in surprise, "Even the Envoy of Joy couldn't do this, right? It seems that your guess was wrong, Fu Qing. The information that Qing Que told you is probably true."
Fu Xuan asked doubtfully, "If it can truly traverse different universes, then what's the point of helping us? It wouldn't benefit him at all, would it?"
"Fu Qing, your thinking is too narrow. Perhaps he is fulfilling his destiny?"
"Although other universes may not necessarily have a destiny, you just need to grasp the spirit of it."
Fu Xuan felt he understood.
At this moment, some quick-reacting dragon masters rushed forward. One dragon master with white hair and beard had just opened his arms to grab his leg when Luo Zhen kicked him away three zhang away with a sharp side kick.
What a joke! He doesn't want the old man clinging to his leg; he'd have nightmares about it.
However, the appearance of the Vidyadharas cannot be judged by age. Some female dragon masters, although they are not young, still look young and beautiful.
As they pounced, Luo Zhen held back, and this opening was noticed. Several beautiful female dragon masters immediately rushed forward, grabbing Luo Zhen's legs. The purple-haired dragon maiden in the lead pressed her pretty face against his knee, speaking softly and sweetly:
"My lord, please stay and let us conceive."
For the sake of the continuation of the Ming Clan, a little face is nothing. Perhaps the Dragon Lords of other Immortal Ships would become even more arrogant upon hearing this news.
To be honest, it was a bit unbearable, because it wasn't just the beautiful young female members of the Wisdom Clan who were looking at her like that. There were also old women with white hair and youthful faces, muscular strong men, and even children-like members of the Wisdom Clan who were all looking at her with the same anticipation, hoping to conceive a child. It made his hair stand on end.
At this moment, Jing Yuan looked at Bai Lu: "Speaking of which, is the Dragon Girl pregnant yet?"
The Future of the Vidyadhara Clan.jpg
Volume 1: 038 - Can one conceive during the White Dew season?
All the dragon masters present turned to look at Bai Lu, pondering a crucial matter concerning the inheritance of the Vidyadhara clan.
The Vidyadhara Clan practices a reincarnation system. After a Dragon Lord is reincarnated, he continues to possess the power of the Dragon Lord and becomes the next Dragon Lord.
Now, if the current Vidyadhara Dragon Lord has a child, will her child still have the power of the Dragon Lord when they grow up?
After she is reincarnated, will her child be able to inherit the position of Dragon Sovereign? And what will happen after she hatches?
This problem truly shook the traditional succession law of the Vidyadhara clan, and even making Luo Zhen the Dragon Lord couldn't solve it—
The five immortal ships support the Ming clan, and the five dragon lords are located on the five immortal ships. Ultimately, they all need the dragon lords to lead them.
Of course, these minor details can be discussed later. Right now, the most important thing is to hold on tight to this powerful force!
Faced with the subtle glances from Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan, as well as the expectant looks from the group of Dragon Masters, Luo Zhen decisively shook his head:
"I'm not that perverted, how could I possibly get Bailu pregnant?"
Everyone looked at the old man, Master Long, with his pregnant belly, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
I think you're already pretty twisted.
Luo Zhen said to the old man Long Shi, "I know what you're expecting. I've never actually had a child born. Are you sure you want to become an experiment? Once the child is born, there's no going back."
The old man, Master Long, nodded frantically, afraid that if he nodded too slowly, Luo Zhen would change his mind.
Therefore, Luo Zhen maximized his power to announce his pregnancy, thus shortening the time to conceive.
The sudden increase in consumption made Luo Zhen realize that the Wisdom Clan was not a race that could give birth to offspring after ten months of pregnancy.
The Vidyadharas surrounded the old Vidyadhara, with Vidyadhara warriors forming a protective circle on the outer edge. Hundreds of eyes eagerly observed the entire process of the old Vidyadhara's childbirth.
Luo Zhen felt a chill run down his spine and simply closed his eyes, preferring not to see it.
As the dragon master's belly grew larger and larger, eventually the sharp dragon claws pierced through his belly and crawled out.
Father and son are safe and sound; both are alive.
A burst of cheers erupted from the onlookers, startling the newborn children, who then fell silent.
They hadn't rehearsed, but their love for the newborn was the same.
The old dragon master's abdomen was covered in blood, but he had a satisfied smile on his face, while the other dragon masters standing around him had tears in their eyes.
Every unnatural death is a major blow to the Vidyadharas, resulting in a permanent reduction in their population. But now, they finally see hope!
"Get out of the way!"
Bai Lu pushed through the crowd, lashed her large tail across the faces of several dragon masters blocking her way, and immediately spat on the stomach of the old dragon master.
That wasn't revenge against the Dragon Master for not letting her go out to play; rather, her saliva contained a powerful, abundant energy that could effectively heal wounds.
The wound on the old dragon master's stomach immediately began to heal. He looked at the little Vidyadhara in his arms and couldn't help but smile broadly.
"It looks just like me when I was a child. It's so similar to me."
The Dragon Master beside him laughed and said, "This is your child, split off from you, so of course it looks just like you."
Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan fell into deep thought. Their vast knowledge led them almost immediately to a conclusion about their destiny—
Breeding.
The insects that reproduce through self-replication. The path of reproduction was once part of the path of immortality. After the Star God of Reproduction ascended to godhood, he tore apart the path of immortality and separated the path of reproduction.
It was from that time onward that the Vidyadhara clan lost the ability to reproduce.
Clearly, it wasn't just them; the Dragon Masters had also considered this.
They went to great lengths to ensure the continuation of the Ming Clan, to the point of obsession. They were even capable of committing the unforgivable crimes of colluding with the Medicine King's secret teachings and violating the laws of the Immortal Ship. How could they not understand the characteristics of the path of reproduction?
In their eyes, a dragon lord with the ability to reproduce is like a blessing from heaven, perhaps even the protection of the immortal dragon ancestor, allowing the Vidyadhara clan to continue.
What tore apart the path to immortality was not just reproduction, but also abundance.
Coincidentally, there was a Vidyadhara Dragon Lord, Bai Lu, who possessed the power of abundance, right here with them.
Bai Lu is no ordinary dragon lord; she is the next dragon lord designated by the previous generation of the enlightened dragon lord, Yin Yue Jun.
When the Envoy of Abundance, Shuhu, attacked Luofu, after a difficult battle, Baiheng of the Fox Clan perished together with Shuhu, using what appeared to be the black sun of the Emperor Sui, leaving behind only a few strands of hair and blood.
Given the ability of the Abundance Envoy Shuhu to resurrect infinitely, Lord Yinyue, using Shuhu's flesh and blood, along with his modified Dragon Transformation Technique, attempted to revive Bai Heng and reincarnate him into the Vidyadhara Clan.
If our dear friend is resurrected and the population of the Vidyadhara tribe increases, this would be a win-win situation.
Unfortunately, the attempt failed, and the resurrected creature was a mindless evil dragon that caused immense destruction, an event known in history as the Moon-Drinking Rebellion.
Immortal Boat Sword Master Jingliu slew the evil dragon, from which a new Wisdom Clan member, Bailu, was born.
That's why White Dew possesses such powerful abundance; even saliva can cure diseases and heal wounds.
The dragon masters exchanged glances and thought of the same thing: if the foreign dragon lord who possesses the power of reproduction could have offspring with the White Dew dragon lord who possesses the power of abundance in a normal way, wouldn't they be able to give birth to an unparalleled dragon lord with immortal power?
At that time, it will not only be the moment of glory for the Vidyadharas, but for the entire Immortal Dragonborn.
However, they were also well aware that such a plan had to be carried out step by step. First, they had to determine whether this foreign dragon lord, who was suspected of possessing reproductive power, could have offspring with the White Dew Dragon Girl normally.
With just a glance, these dragon masters who had known each other for hundreds of years had reached an agreement.
I must consider whether this is the only chance to restore our immortal glory; it is my duty!
Bai Lu was performing a pulse diagnosis on the old dragon master and his child, feeling extremely uncomfortable under the strange gazes of the dragon masters around her.
"What do you see me doing?"
"It's nothing, we're just a little nervous."
"Yes, yes, Dragon Girl, please rest assured and focus on your recovery and medical treatment. We will not disturb you."
"My Lady Dragon Girl, how are he and the child? Are they healthy? Are there any aftereffects?"
Bai Lu put aside her strange feelings and pondered, "His vital energy has been greatly damaged, and it is almost impossible for him to recover to his previous state. This child's constitution is also relatively weak from birth, not as good as that of a normal Vidyadhara. As for whether he can be properly cared for later, I am not sure, as there is no precedent for this."
She carefully chose her words: "It's as if this child has taken a piece of his father's immortal dragon marrow."
"It's hard to say whether it can be recovered. Perhaps the dragon marrow lost during childbirth is lost forever, and it cannot be restored even after molting and rebirth."
The Dragon Masters all understood what Bai Lu meant. Perhaps the price of having children would be that the Wisdom Clan would become weaker with each generation, and the Immortal Dragon Marrow would be infinitely divided until it became negligible.
So, is it worth it?

Volume 1: 039 - Go and capture Lord Dragon Lord
It's definitely worth it!
What's the use of preserving our current strength if everyone dies? Besides, there are ways to make up for it.
For example, those Vidyadharas who died unnatural deaths might be able to find a way to reclaim the legacy of the Immortal Dragon Ancestor from them and share it with the surviving Vidyadharas to strengthen their foundation.
Alternatively, they could try to repair the corpses of those who died unnatural deaths, piecing them back into the form of the living dead, and see if they could absorb all the immortal dragon marrow in the living dead state to give birth to a new generation of fully-formed Vidyadharas.
Upon hearing about the side effects, the Dragon Masters could easily come up with several ways to mitigate them; the idea of not using this ability never even crossed their minds for a second.
As for the idea that the method of compensation is cruel, that's utter nonsense. The Dragon Masters have colluded with the secret teachings of the Medicine King of Luofu in order to ensure the continuation of their species.
What is the secret recipe of the Medicine King of Luofu like? The most core prescription is called Dragon Coiling and Leaping. Its function is to cause the body tissues, which should have developed disordered under the influence of the Longevity Plague Ancestor, to "go out of control in a controlled manner" under the guidance of the Dragon Ancestor's power.
In this way, the recipient can obtain the power that only the demonic body can wield while maintaining their intelligence.
The main ingredient in this prescription is one ounce of *Chiming* marrow, which must be extracted fresh.
Where does the essence of wisdom come from? It's really hard to guess.
Even so, the Dragon Masters still had to humbly cooperate with the Medicine King's secret teachings, risking their lives to break off ten branches of the Jianmu tree from the seal of the Boyue Ancient Sea and deliver them to the Medicine King's secret teachings.
Moreover, the Medicine King's secret teachings have yielded no results whatsoever.
Now we don't need to do those awful things to ensure the continuation of our community. There's no cruelty involved, just a little hardship.
While the Dragon Masters were having a mental storm, Luo Zhen stood there in a daze. Just as the old Dragon Master gave birth to his offspring, a strange power descended from the void, fell on Luo Zhen, and nourished his body.
At the same time, the power of [Pregnancy Announcement] has been enhanced, and using this ability consumes less energy and has a better effect.
Luo Zhen pondered, "If I can give birth to offspring for the infertile Wisdom Clan, then I am embarking on the path of reproduction?"
He had no interest in becoming a Star God. Although he didn't know if it was voluntary, no Star God had ever deviated from his destiny. However, if he could embark on his destiny and gain some useful abilities, he wouldn't mind.
