Open up and break into another world

The clone's cultivation soared all the way up.

Outer Refinement, Inner Refinement, Innate, Core Formation, Spirit Realm, Dao Lord… It soared all the way up to Dao Venerate before stopping.

As for the Hook Points consumed by "forcibly leveling up," Xu Ming really didn't care at all. Because—from the Outer Refinement to the Dao Lord stage, it only consumed Hook Points from Level 1 to Level 5; Xu Ming had plenty of these five levels of Hook Points to spare, and he didn't care at all about consuming them.

Once he reached the Dao Venerate level, he would have to consume Level 6 Hook Points; Xu Ming quickly braked and stopped the forced leveling up.

"A One-Step Dao Venerate!" Xu Ming felt the clone's current cultivation.

As for the Heavenly Dao insights… both the original body and the clone were Xu Ming himself; possessing completely identical thoughts and memories, they naturally also possessed completely identical Heavenly Dao insights.

Therefore, after the clone's cultivation was raised to the One-Step Dao Venerate, its strength was already not much different from the original body!

After all, the original body could use the cheat, and the clone could also use the cheat—there was almost no difference.

If there was still a gap, it would be in the area of secret techniques, such as the "Saint Beast Body," "Nine Palaces Eight Arrays Lock," "Puppet Demon Body," "Demon Fiend Clone," "Mist Rain Power," and other secret techniques; the original body had mastered them, but the clone had not yet mastered them.

Since he hadn't mastered them, what was there to hesitate about? Learn them!

Xu Ming left the clone inside the Mist Rain Battleship, frantically cultivating the secret techniques; while his original body accompanied Gu Hanmo, living a leisurely life.

…

Time flowed quietly, like water.

It was night, and the stars filled the sky.

Xu Ming and Gu Hanmo lay idly on the cool rocks at the summit of the Barren Mountain, quietly watching the twinkling stars in the sky.

The night breeze was cool and gentle, and the surroundings were incomparably quiet.

"Xu Ming," Gu Hanmo suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Xu Ming's voice sounded half-asleep.

"You said… why haven't I had that yet?" Gu Hanmo's voice was very soft.

Xu Ming was stunned: "Had what?"

"It's… that thing!"

Xu Ming became even more confused: "That thing, what exactly is that thing?"

"It's…" Gu Hanmo was ashamed and indignant, "Aiya, you're really stupid! It's… it's… why haven't I… gotten pregnant yet?"

"Uh…" Xu Ming was stunned.

Xu Ming was actually quite puzzled by this question.

Since he and Gu Hanmo got married, although it couldn't be said that they had romantic nights every night, they had been "doing it" very diligently! After such a long time, it was reasonable to say that she should have gotten pregnant long ago!

"Could it be…" Xu Ming couldn't help but think, "That one of us is infertile?"

But that was impossible!

Xu Ming was very clear that both he and Gu Hanmo's bodies were incredibly normal and healthy!

The Little Cheat said in a mechanical voice that contained no emotion: "The higher the cultivation, the more difficult it is to get pregnant, this is a very normal thing!"

"Uh?" Xu Ming was dumbfounded—there was such a thing?

The Little Cheat continued: "In fact, this is also a kind of operating rule of the natural world!"

"I'm going!" Xu Ming cursed inwardly—didn't I just want to have a baby? Could this also be related to the operating rules of the natural world?

This was too ridiculous!

The Little Cheat continued to say: "Although the operating rules of the natural world did not 'explicitly say' it, we can easily discover a rule—the stronger something is, the rarer it is!"

The Little Cheat gave an example: "For example, in the demon race, the number of divine beasts is incomparably rare! Some of the most top-notch divine beasts are even unique; there is only one in each era!"

For example, the Ten Thousand Blood Eye Demigod of the Shadow Alliance was a unique divine beast!

"For example, the elephant race in the demon race is far less numerous than the ant race! Because, in terms of individuals, elephants are much stronger than ants!"

"The operating rules of the natural world constrain that the stronger you are, the more difficult it is to breed the next generation!"

"You are now a Dao Venerate, possessing a million years of lifespan! If you easily allowed you to breed children, then in your long life, wouldn't you have many, many children?"

"Where is the 'easily'?" Xu Ming said depressedly, "We've been married for more than ten years…"

The Little Cheat said: "Just ten years, and you want to have children?—You calculate it, if you spent ten years to have a child; then, in your million years of lifespan, how many children will you have? That is… one hundred thousand!"

"One hundred thousand…" Xu Ming was directly speechless at this number.

What kind of concept was one hundred thousand children?—If each person asked you 'why' once, then that would be 'one hundred thousand whys'!

"Don't say ten years, even if you only have one child every hundred years; then, calculated by your current lifespan, you will also have ten thousand children!"

"So…" the Little Cheat concluded, "You can't get pregnant, it's not your problem, but… God's problem! The operating rules of the natural world are secretly suppressing you!"

Xu Ming seemed to hear a new explanation for infertility—it's not that you are infertile, but that you are too strong, and God doesn't want you to have children easily!

"Okay…" Xu Ming sighed, "According to this, I'm afraid I won't have children for hundreds or thousands of years?"

"Not necessarily!" The Little Cheat said, "Whether it's early or late depends on luck, and also on the operating rules of the natural world!—Maybe you won't have children for tens of thousands of years, or maybe you will have them tomorrow!"

…

Outside the Endless Continent, in another extremely distant world.

On a vast, crimson grassland.

The grass was red, as if dyed with fresh blood.

The dew condensed on the grass was also like drops of blood, exuding a ferocious light.

Occasionally, drops of blood dew would fall, making the bloody aura of the entire crimson grassland even more intense and terrifying. Even a Dao Lord powerhouse might be enchanted by this bloody aura upon arriving here!

At this time, on the crimson grassland, in an inconspicuous location.

A black-clad girl was being surrounded from all directions by more than a dozen bloody strong men.

This girl had a cold temperament, but she exuded a special flavor that tempted people to commit crimes. The moment people saw her, they couldn't help but want to possess her.

"Escape? Hahahaha, keep escaping!"

More than a dozen bloody strong men surrounded the girl, just like a pack of wolves surrounding a lamb.

"Once you enter our Blood Killing Plains, even gods can't escape! What's more, you're not even a god!"

"Moreover, you've been poisoned by our Soul-Falling Mist, and now, you shouldn't have any strength left in your body!"

"Be obedient and surrender! This daddy will take good care of you, hahahaha…"

I'm too tired tonight, shameless to owe another chapter, please understand. All owed chapters will be paid off before the end of the month, and there will be additional updates, thank you.
