Chapter 543: Chapter 543

"Let’s wait until she wakes up before we discuss it, I don’t know how to explain it right now."

Qin Zhao’s life force gradually recovered, but she did not wake up immediately.

Her life force had restored, but her soul remained very weak.

The spiritual energy of this world was too meager, utterly unsuitable for Qin Zhao to nourish her soul.

When Song Jian and Qin Wan, her parents, found out she hadn’t woken up, they went to ask Chu Yan.

After learning the reason, Song Jian said to Chu Yan, "I want to take Zhaozhao to Xuanhai World. You know the Netherworld Emperor; could you ask him to help us get there?

The spiritual energy in Xuanhai World is abundant, and resources are plentiful. Once Zhaozhao wakes up, she still needs to continue her cultivation. I will use the best resources of Heavenly Mechanism Sect to train her so that she can ascend as quickly as possible."

Chu Yan nodded, "I also think Xuanhai World is more appropriate."

With the help of the Netherworld Emperor, they brought the comatose Qin Zhao to Xuanhai World.

Yet, upon returning, despite exhausting all methods to repair Qin Zhao’s soul, they still had not seen her awaken.

Time swiftly passed, and in the blink of an eye, five years had gone by.

For cultivators, five years were but a moment.

Qin Zhao had also been in a coma for five years.

During these five years, Song Jian taught Qin Wan how to cultivate.

Chu Yan lived with his child in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, rarely appearing in public. Song Jian specifically arranged a solitary Spiritual Mountain for their family of three to live in, keeping their existence and Qin Zhao’s unknown to others.

As King Yan of the underworld, Chu Yan still had to frequently attend to matters in the underworld.

The underworld had array passages connecting to various worlds, which they had initially used to travel to Xuanhai World.

Although King Zhuanlun was severely injured, he and the Netherworld Emperor hadn’t managed to eliminate him yet and still had to guard against his mischief.

"Chu Yan took Yu Yu to the underworld again, and he keeps leaving the child there for the Netherworld Emperor to look after. The underworld is full of ghosts; what if it scares the child?

And isn’t that yin-rich environment unsuitable for a child’s cultivation?" Qin Wan worriedly said as she walked in from outside with Song Jian.

"Yu Yu’s talent is not something ordinary people can compare to. I heard from Chu Yan that Yu Yu quite likes the underworld’s environment. Chu Yan knows what he’s doing; don’t worry."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan still looked worried.

"Yu Yu is already five years old, can call daddy and mommy, and is already quite mischievous, but he can’t see his mother. Every time he visits his mom, he squats by the bed and whispers.

He won’t even let me hear, and it looks quite pitiful."

Song Jian sighed, "What can we do? Her body and soul aren’t showing any problems, yet she just won’t wake up."

"Mom, why are you dressed ? Are you going to act in a play?"

A familiar voice came from inside the hall, and the couple was stunned in place.

They turned their heads and saw Qin Zhao walking out, disheveled, yet her features remained bright and beautiful, carrying a lazy, casual air.

She rubbed her hair and then looked towards Song Jian.

Since being with Qin Wan, Song Jian had meticulously dressed every day.

Now he was wearing a luxurious green robe, hair tied up high, very much the handsome uncle.

But, why were they all wearing ancient costumes?

Qin Zhao frowned, puzzled, and looked at her surroundings.

All around were continuous high mountains, and on the peaks and mid-slopes, there were many splendid, fairy-like palaces.

In the distance above the clouds, large spiritual beasts flew by, as well as numerous cultivators flying with their swords.

Had she returned to the Cultivation World of her previous life?

But then, why were Qin Wan and Song Jian also here?

"Zhaozhao! You’ve finally woken up!"

Qin Wan, eyes tearful with excitement, stepped forward and tightly grasped her hand.

"Have I been asleep for a long time?"

A look of bewilderment emerged in Qin Zhao’s eyes, searching her mind for memories, feeling as though she had forgotten something very important.

She couldn’t recall how long she had slept, nor why she had slept for so long.

There was something off.

Qin Zhao touched her flat belly.

It didn’t feel right.

She seemed to have had a child.

But she was single, so why would she have a child?

Could she have undergone artificial insemination and forgotten about it?

But why would she want to deal with the hassle of having a child?

A heap of doubts crowded Qin Zhao’s mind, and she even wondered if she had soul-traveled into someone else’s body, which could be why she had the false impression of having been pregnant.

Song Jian explained to her, "You were injured before, so I took you and your mom back to the Xuanhai World. You’ve been in a coma for five years, and now your mom is a cultivator."

Qin Zhao glanced at Qin Wan, who looked younger, and raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Ms. Qin Wan, you’ve actually become a Qi Cultivator?"

After saying this, she felt something was off again.

"Wasn’t I a Nascent Soul? Why am I only at the Foundation Establishment level of cultivation now?"

"You were severely injured, so you lost a lot of your cultivation. But don’t worry, my dear daughter, you’re the only child of Song Jian, and the Young Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, recovering your cultivation will be easy!"

Song Jian handed Qin Zhao a storage ring with a smile, "This is the dowry I’ve been saving for you for a long time. Just tell me what you want.

Even if it’s the moon in the sky, I can bring it down for you."

"You’re giving me the dowry now? What about when I get married later?"

Song Jian and Qin Wan looked at each other, Qin Wan’s expression a bit strange.

"Why wouldn’t you have one? Your dad happens to be the richest man in the Xuanhai World!"

Qin Zhao took a look at the contents of the storage ring and was truly startled.

How was Song Jian so wealthy?

The High-grade Spiritual Stones in the storage ring piled up like a small mountain. There were also other odd treasures, impressive even at a glance.

This storage ring contained more than Qin Zhao had in her previous life!

Qin Zhao said, overwhelmed with gratitude.

Song Jian couldn’t stop smiling; this was the first time his daughter had called him dad.

They hadn’t acknowledged each other for long and Qin Zhao had never formally called him that.

"Being in the Xuanhai World is good too, you can recover your cultivation more quickly."

Qin Zhao touched the ring on her index finger and murmured to herself, "But how did I get injured before? How could it have been so severe?"

Qin Wan asked her, "Don’t you remember anything?"

"Not at all, it just feels like I blacked out from drinking."

"Besides your dad and me, do you remember anyone else?"

"Shangguan Qiu, I remember her mastering the Changyuan Sword Technique, and her cultivation soared. I wasn’t a match for her then, and even less so now."

At this point, Qin Zhao felt a bit disheartened.

"What about the others?"

"How are Uncle Xiao and Su Xiaotong doing? Will I get to see them again?"

"We should be able to."

Qin Wan didn’t continue the conversation and sighed internally.

Chu Yan and their child, Zhaozhao had been forgotten by her.

Moreover, Qin Zhao didn’t seem to remember getting pregnant and having a child.

"Can I go out for a walk?"

She pointed outside the grand hall.

She had soul-traveled to the modern world for a long time but had always missed the carefree life of the Cultivation World.

Although her cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment level now, it didn’t stop her from wanting to fly around with Sword Control.
