Chapter 339: 187, 188. Lantern Festival, Ruins, Crane White Country, Birth (Looking for Subscriptions)_3
Su Ningyu had now been pregnant for a full eighteen months.
This could no longer simply be described as a monstrous pregnancy.
Su Mengzhen had been so shocked that she climbed out of the ice coffin and came to her sister’s side, taking care of her daily.
By the way, the conclusion of that day’s "Immortality Peach experiment" was surprising, yet to some extent it was also expected: ordinary people who ate the Immortality Peach would die instantly like they had ingested poison. Even a martial artist at the Qi Realm who ate it would die miserably... Only those at the Pseudo-Profound Realm could step into the True Mysterious Realm with the "Immortality Peach".
This conclusion was sufficient for Song Cheng.
His original judgments had been further corroborated.
At the Profound Level, one could become a Medicinal Human,
and the highest achievement was to elevate a martial artist to the "Pseudo-Profound Realm".
And the "Immortality Peach" might very well be the "medicine" of a higher-order existence,
thus, how could it not break through from "Pseudo-Profound Level" to "True Profound Level"?
...
Song Cheng also worried immensely about Su Ningyu’s abnormality. He nearly halted all his endeavors and stayed by Su Ningyu’s side all day, listening to her talk.
Even when he was with his elder sister-in-law every day, the two tacitly did not engage in intimacy during this time, instead they took meticulous care of Su Ningyu together.
Yu at this time bore no resemblance to a Noble Family Child; she was entirely like a woman suffering from a difficult pregnancy, often in such pain that she broke out in cold sweat, her face as pale as gold paper, and her breath as thin as a thread.
The days were unbearable, and the nights brought no sleep.
Her whole body was as cold as an ice ball, and just as she managed to sleep for a while, she would then scream incessantly in the middle of the night, shouting things like "Hell, ghosts," before waking in fright.
After a round of comforting, if you listened to her, you would hear things like, "I dreamt of a road, a very narrow road, like a path in the countryside at dusk. I walked on that road just like an ordinary person... all strength gone. I began to feel panic. When I reached the end of that road, I saw Hell..."
If you asked what Hell was like, you would hear of the "Twin Ghosts" rampant there... With fires blazing everywhere, amidst the flames, charred corpses wailed like weeping infants; and there was the glint of knives and swords, old graves for miles, flickering ghostly fires, seeming real and illusory, truly hard to discern.
Song Cheng knew of the "Four Strong" and the "Four Evil."
He also knew that the "Four Strong and Four Evil" to some extent revealed part of the truth of this world.
A one-dimensional being cannot perceive two dimensions, two dimensions cannot perceive three dimensions, so how can three-dimensional beings be so arrogant to assume that the world’s limit is three dimensions?
They simply cannot perceive higher levels.
However, the "dimensions" Song Cheng knew from science books before his transmigration were entirely inapplicable in this otherworld.
Before transmigration, the third dimension was "line, plane, and solid", and the fourth dimension was "time".
But now, the "Four" in these "Four Strong and Four Evil" refer to the "Body Soul Dream Domain".
Everyone is a "three-dimensional being", that is, they only have "body, soul, and dream"...
You live in the world, your soul is in your body, occasionally you can dream of some detached, strange things, worlds.
And the "fourth dimension" is the end of dreams, and also... the entrance to the "Reappear World".
If one says that every action of life, every cause and effect, is like a tiny stone tossed into the rolling sea of time, then... everything in the "Reappear World" is a pattern engraved on the Immortal Divine Mountain.
Ordinary people at most dream, allowing their thoughts to wander in dreams, and even though a few wisps of thought may enter the "Reappear World", they vanish in a moment.
And as for evil spirits, though they have a place in the "Reappear World", they have completely lost human consciousness, lost "body, soul" and even "dream", they are Incomplete.
So, Song Cheng could understand Su Ningyu’s dreams.
Undoubtedly, the "rural twilight path" Yu spoke of was the Dream Domain, and "Hell" was the Reappear World.
He sighed silently, indeed... this was not simple.
Ting was only the child he had with the "Twin Ghosts".
But what was in Yu’s womb was the child he had with "[including the Great Dark Heaven] the Eight Ghosts"...
Had it already made its mark in the Reappear World before even being born?
"My lord, my lord!"
Yu desperately clutched at Song Cheng’s hand, "Am I about to die?"
Song Cheng said, "How can that be? Your sister Chenyu was also like this during pregnancy, it is just a severe pregnancy reaction."
"Mm..." Yu softly responded.
After a long while, she calmed down.
Song Cheng stepped outside the room for a moment, only to find his daughter-in-law seeking an audience outside the door.
The daughter-in-law held a small baby boy and respectfully said, "Father-in-law."
Song Cheng looked at the baby boy, who was also staring back with his round, grape-like big eyes...
This was his eldest grandson, and Song An’s eldest son—Song Changjian.
"Chang, Ping, Xi, and Le" were the generational names he had set for his descendants.
After Song An, all children would follow the names set by "Chang, Ping, Xi, and Le".
Song Cheng took his eldest grandson into his arms for a hug.
The daughter-in-law then said, "We obtained a Warm Jade from the East Sea that can dispel severe cold. I’ve brought it specially as a gift, hoping it may help the Third Madam."
Song Cheng nodded.
The daughter-in-law hurriedly presented it.
Song Cheng grabbed it to take a look, held it in his hand, and had an idea: this was a gold ore of Sun Nine-Pattern Gold, somehow mixed with jade stone, but the fusion was excellent, qualifying as top-grade Warm Jade, wearing it would indeed ward off evil and repel cold.
"Where did this come from?"
"Reporting to father-in-law, Uncle Changjian is the canal supervisor for Feng State Road. Recently, in a drought-stricken area between the canal and the East Sea, he found this unintentionally. When it came to my knowledge, I became concerned for the Third Madam, so I asked him for it..."
Song Cheng was not harsh on his daughter-in-law, especially as she was the mother of his eldest grandson, so he said warmly, "You have my thanks."
