Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1012

Chapter 1012 - He's Back!

"M-Meixiu! Look at that! She looks just like you!" Chu Liuxiang exclaimed as she pointed to the mature woman in the spectators' room.

However, Meixiu was too stumped to even respond to her.

'S-She's pregnant? With my face? Are the heavens making fun of me? Are you trying to tell me something?' Meixiu couldn't believe her eyes.

Just the other day, her mother was pressuring her to have a baby with Yuan and now this. If this wasn't a sign from the gods, what would be?

"During the last Stairway to Heaven, there was somebody with your face." Feng Yuxiang suddenly said as she looked at Chu Liuxiang.

"I remember…" She sighed.

And she continued, "Why is the Stairway to Heaven using our faces, anyway? It seems a bit odd and random."

"I can only assume that it's trying to stir with the Young Master's emotions by including people that he cares about into the trials." Feng Yuxiang shrugged.

"But why a pregnant woman…?' Meixiu shook her head with a bittersweet smile on her face.

"But you have to admit, it looks very authentic. I wonder if that's what you will look like in ten years." Li Jinxi said.

Meanwhile, Yuan returned to the peak of the pagoda, where he tried to learn the technique inside the secret room.

However, the image of Meixiu kept on appearing inside his head, thwarting his focus on the technique.

'This technique is very profound. It should be at least Ancient-rank, but this means that it will take longer for me to comprehend, and this distraction is not helping. Hopefully, I will be able to learn it before the next invasion.'

After three hours of peace, the general of the army returned.

"City Lord! I have an emergency report! There is an army of 100,000 soldiers approaching our city from the East and the West! They will arrive in 8 hours!"

"A hundred thousand…?" Yuan could feel his heart dropping after hearing such a report.

Compared to the last invasion, this one was on a whole other level.

However, he managed to keep his composure and said, "I understand. I will call you when I am ready. Do not disturb me before then no matter what. I will be entering closed door cultivation now."

"Yes!" The general disappeared shortly after.

'Eight hours… Will I be able to do it?' He sighed inwardly.

'No… I have to do it!'

After taking a deep breath, Yuan closed his eyes and cleared his head of all unnecessary thoughts.

Once he could focus on the technique, he started reciting the scripture inside his head.

Many hours later—
