A few hours ago.

After ordering Ling Lei and the others to take care of the Eight Ancient Families as well as Thunder Demi-God's influence, Ling Chen didn't even waste a second as he quickly barged into his room and sat in a meditative stance on the bed.

Due to the fact that he was extremely excited, he took him a long time before he could calm his mind and reached a state of zen.

He was like a hyper and impatient little kid on Christmas Day rushing towards the Christmas Tree in order to grab and unwrap his present. His eyes were filled with anticipation and his face was beaming with joy.

Can't blame him, unlike Christmas, he's been looking forward to this day for over three years. Now that this day has finally come, he was unable to contain his happiness and joy despite his powerful strength.

After calming his mind, Ling Chen's awareness quickly sank within his sea of consciousness faster than the speed of light.

The moment his awareness appeared within his sea of consciousness that was comprised of a giant godly dark tree, as well as an endless white space, filled with holy energy, he was greeted by seven babies looking creatures.

Ka cha! Ka cha! Ka cha!

At this moment each one of these seven babies looking creatures was concentrating on eating what seemed to be the broken shells of a giant golden egg on the ground. They were all unaware of Ling Chen's awareness that materialized not too far from them.

Meanwhile, Ling Chen was trembling with joy. He was unable to contain the happiness and the joy within him as he was looking at the seven little creatures in front of him.

He was in a state of euphoria. It was as if he was about to explode due to an excessive amount of excitement and joy.

He was also instantly attracted by the seven babies' appearance at the first glance. It wasn't only because they were his children, but also because they were simply a work of art. They were the definition of perfection.

He was very sure that he had never seen such beautiful babies ever in his life. Even calling them beautiful would be blasphemy as there wasn't a word to describe their beauty.

It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, well, they're clearly wrong as the proof was right there in front of him.

They were so beautiful that they looked unreal. It was very hard for him to describe them as he was unable to come up with the right words.

There was a shared characteristic among them, and that was that all of their waterfall-like hair was as white and even purer than the newly fallen snow.

Unlike Ling Lei and the other little devil, they didn't have any protruding horns on their foreheads. However, they all had the same pointy ears, though curiously enough, they didn't look like they didn't go with their faces. Rather, they added a sense of cuteness and perfection.

Their fair and delicate little baby's skin was smoothly white and sparkly just like jelly.

Just like Ling Lei and the other little devils, their eyes didn't look humans at all. They were vertically slit and didn't have a sclera which was the white part in a human's eyes.

Furthermore, they all had different eyes' colors unlike Ling Lei and the others who all had golden eyes. One of them had a pair of beautiful evergreen eyes that looked like an emerald gemstone while another one had a pair of mesmerizing blue eyes which were like a mirror of the endless sky.

Some of them even had different colors of pair of eyes such as the little boy which was almost done eating the broken shells of his egg. His right eye was blazing like a golden sun while his left eye shined with moonlight.

Or little girl in the middle whose left eye was akin to a shining purple gemstone while her right eye was completely blue.

Additionally, unlike Ling Lei and the others who gave the feeling as though they were the incarnation of evil as soon as they were born, these seven babies looked and felt so holy and sacred that people would have the urge to prostrate before them. It was if being in their presence alone was enough to cleanse one soul and negative emotions.

Soon, the seven little perfect looking babies were done eating their broken eggs shell. At the same time, Ling Chen could feel a powerful and vibrant life force coming out of their small bodies.

Their powerful life force alone was comparable to that of Martial master realm warrior. After they were done eating the broken shells on the ground, they were all curiously looking around and soon their gazes landed on Ling Chen's projection.

It was unknown why, but the moment their eyes landed on Ling Chen's projection, a happy and gentle smile appeared on their faces as they simultaneously shouted in a baby voice." Mama."

"Not again." Murmured Ling Chen upon hearing them calling him mama.

He wasn't the least bit surprised upon hearing them talk after just being born. He knew that just like Ling Lei and the others, they weren't regular children and common sense didn't apply to them.

At the same time, a pair of beautiful and holy golden wings protruded on their backs as they all flew towards Ling Chen. Just like the previous little devils, their golden wings were made of pure holy energy.

"Like I told your brothers and sisters before, don't call me mama. Call me dada instead." Gently answered Ling Chen with an affectionate smile on his face.

Because It wasn't Ling Chen's real body within his sea of consciousness but his awareness, the seven little babies were unable to touch him no matter how many times they tried.

"Mama."

"Mama."

"Mama." They kept on shouting as they flew past Ling Chen's projection while trying to hold on to him.

"Okay! Okay! Just relax and do what mama does. After doing that, you'll be able to hold dada's hand as much as you want." Seeing that they refused to call him dada, Ling Chen gave up and let them call him as they wished.

Having said that, Ling Chen's projection sat in a meditative stance within his sea of consciousness. Seeing this, the seven little babies did the same as they all sat in front of him.

They didn't really sit crossed legs as Ling Chen did, they just sat there with their bare ass on the ground while curiously looking at Ling Chen with their big and beautiful eyes.

After a few seconds, Ling Chen guided the endless amount of holy energy within his sea of consciousness into their bodies little by little like a warm stream flows.

As they felt the immense energy entering their bodies little by little, they had a look of joy on their small and cute baby faces. The holy energy was so warm. It was like soaking in a hot spring. That's the kinda feeling the seven of them had.

At this moment, they didn't care about Ling Chen anymore as they were enjoying this amazing and warm feeling.

As every minute and second went by, their bodies were slowly getting bigger and taller. Although it seemed as though it was taking a long time, their bodies were growing nonetheless.

Furthermore, as their bodies were growing, the faster and the more energy they were able to absorb.

Two Years.......Three Years......Four Years........Five Years......Six Years old....

The more energy they absorbed, the older they get and the more powerful they become as well.

After making it to seven years old, Ling Chen stopped guiding the holy energy into their bodies as they were able to absorb it by themselves.

Upon seeing this, Ling Chen gently smiled as he stood up. Even if they were to absorb all the holy energy or karmic energy within his sea of consciousness, he wouldn't care. He could just start gathering them all over again.

Furthermore, the main reason he had gathered that much karmic energy in the first place was to speed up their growth.

The Karmic energy was also very important to Ling Chen. In order for him to undergo his first transformation or life transition, he will need to have enough holy energy within his sea of consciousness to balance out the dark energy within his lower dantian.

He referred his next breakthrough as a life transition or transformation instead of breakthrough because his way of cultivation wasn't the same as the human in the Great Luo World. It was also hard to measure his realm based on their standard.

For instance, at this moment, his power was already comparable and even more powerful than that of a Demi-God. Yet, he didn't go through any major transformation or have divine power bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Dao or the Will of the world like them. He was still the same, it's just that his soul power was way stronger than before.

After making sure the seven little bastards were properly absorbing the holy energy within his sea of consciousness with was comprised of limitless white space and giant godly dark tree, Ling Chen went on to check the other changes.

Compared to the last time he checked, the giant godly dark tree has become even taller now. Before, it was about 170 feet tall and had a circumference of 50 feet, but now it was about 200 feet tall with a circumference of 80 feet.

Aside from that, his sea of consciousness that was filled with a dense amount of holy energy that it had condensed into a golden mist, had now become thinner. Furthermore, the holy energy continued to drastically decrease with every passing second.

Ling Chen wasn't worried or panic as he already knew the cause of it. The thing that caught his attention was the long crack on the ground or the thick barrier that separated the tree trunk and the top of the dark tree, or the barrier that separated his lower-dantian that was filled with dark energy and his upper-dantian which was filled with karmic energy.

The long crack was over 70 feet long and it started from the base of the godly dark tree. Thought It was very thin, he could still see tiny strands of dark energy coming from within it.

However, the moment they came out, they were instantly purified and erased by the remaining light energy within the white space.

"It seems like the crack was caused by the growing dark tree. From the looks of it, it seems like there will be more as the tree continued to grow." Murmured Ling Chen as he was looking at the giant godly tree that blotted out into his sea of consciousness like a giant umbrella.

The barrier not only separated Ling Chen's lower-dantian and his upper-dantian, but it also served like a belt that tightened around the godly dark tree-like a leash. In order for the giant godly dark tree to grow bigger and taller, it would need to loosen the barrier around it and even break it at some point.

Though Ling Chen didn't have any manual about his was of cultivation, he knew that it was the right path to follow.

He inherently and instinctively knew that he would need to gather as much as good karmic energy to fill up his upper-dantian in order to balance out the dark energy if he wanted to go through his first life transition.

As for his first life transition, he also knew that it would happen once the barrier that separated both his lower and upper dantian shattered into million pieces and the dark and light energy merged together, forming a brand new space and a new type of energy.

As Ling Chen was observing the changes within his sea of consciousness, he suddenly shifted his gaze towards the seven new little devils who seemed to have their fill as they finally opened their eyes and stood up.

With a slight smile on his face, he jokingly said."You guys are finally full. Here I thought you were going to suck all my karmic energy dry."
