Transmigration: Children of The Plane

New Allies

Back in the Dukedom, Yan Zhenyu and Xue Feng sat across each other drinking tea. Xue Bai and Yan Fengxian were also there, standing behind their respective fathers.

"Sigh~~ Brother Xue, never could I have imagined that you would be able to let your son cultivate a year early." Yan Zhenyu sighed.

Though Xue Bai's cultivation concealing artifact could block Yan Fengxian from seeing his cultivation, it couldn't block Yan Zhenyu's senses.

"It just a fortuitous encounter Bai'er encountered. Nothing that could surprise Older Brother Yan." Xue Feng said humbly.

Of the three heads from the Three Great Families, Yan Zhenyu was the most amicable. And with Xue Bai saying that he was the most likely person to ally with in the coming future, Xue Feng was polite.

"While being able to start cultivating a year early isn't something I would want as I was able to cultivate peacefully, some people don't have that luck, and being able to get stronger a year faster would be something they would kill for. Moreover, a year earlier would allow any young genius to become one of our continent's rising stars in the future." Yan Zhenyu sighed again.

"Oh right, forgive me for asking, but what grade Martial Vein did Nephew Bai awaken?" Yan Zhenyu suddenly asked.

If Xue Bai awakened a set of Martial Veins lower than Peak Yellow Grade, it would severely damage his stock in Yan Zhenyu's mind. But if he awakened anything above Peak Yellow Grade, it would do the reverse.

Hearing this question, Xue Feng smiled, "Big Brother Yan, you must surely know that some things are better left hidden. What if the wrong people heard it? It would be catastrophic."

Though Xue Feng's words were ambiguous and had multiple meanings, with how astute Yan Zhenyu was, how could he not understand what Xue Feng was implying?

"Brother Xue, don't worry. My Yan Clan will be a great ally to your Dukedom." Yan Zhenyu swore as he patted his chest.

Smiling, Xue Feng looked over at Xue Bai and motioned him to speak.

"Senior Yan, my Martial Veins are High Black Tier with a Fire element attribute." Xue Bai spoke cleanly.

Dumbstruck, Yan Zhenyu couldn't reply for a moment. Even Yan Fengxian was stunned.

'Father and I only have a Peak Yellow Grade. Even Big Brother Long, who is being groomed as a potential High Elder, only has a Low Black Grade Martial Vein!'

"Nephew Bai surely you ain't joking with this old man?" Yan Zhenyu finally forced words out of his mouth after a few seconds of silence.

Xue Bai knew that actions served better than words, so, from his hands, he summoned a small ball of fire, which shocked everyone, even Xue Feng.

Since they left the forest and arrived back at the Dukedom, Xue Fen hadn't had time to talk to Xue Bai personally, so he had no idea of his son's gains, even his cultivation. As to the untrained eye, it only looked like Xue Bai was at the 5th stage of the Vein Transformation Realm, even though he was at the 8th.

'Looks like Bai'er gained some valuable things in the Secret Realm.' Xue Feng thought

"Sigh~~ The younger generation will always surpass the older. Brother Xue, you have a wonderful son. Don't forget this old man when you rise to the heavens." Yan Zhenyu seemed to age a little as he spoke.

"Older Brother Yan, don't worry. As an ally, my Dukedom will always be willing to send a hand to help whenever you need one." Xue Feng said with a smile.

What Yan Zhenyu was seeing was only the tip of the iceberg, yet he was already feeling so melancholy. If Xue Bai had revealed all of his strengths, Yan Zhenyu might just have had a heart attack.

"Brother Xue, would you like to discuss the conditions of our partnership?" Yan Zhenyu asked after his face regained its color.

"Yes, we can do it here. Bai'er, go and show Niece Yan around our Dukedom." Xue Feng shooed out his son without care.

Pouting a little from his father being so rude, Xue Bai walked away with a lowered head.

'I wanted to show off more….'

After the kids walked out of the main hall, Yan Fengxian finally couldn't hold her curiosity anymore and asked, "Xue Bai, how did you start cultivating a year early? I don't know of anyone in the Baishen Plane that has ever done that. If I could cultivate a year early, I would already be in the Bone Strengthening Realm. And then, not even that demon Wang Yu would be my opponent. I wouldn't have to endure that lustful gaze and could send him flying with one palm."

Xue Bai was paying attention to her words in the beginning, but after her third sentence, his brain shut off, and only one thought was in his mind. 'This woman is a chatterbox!'

"Sister Yan, if you talk any more, I'll tell Brother Long that you're a bad person!" Xue Bai threatened.

The threat seemed to work as Yan Fengxian instantly covered her mouth. "You wouldn't dare. And Big Brother Long wouldn't believe you anyway!"

"Try me, women." Xue Bai doubled down.

"Then.. what do you want?' Seeing Xue Bai look serious, Yan Fengxian conceded.

"Leave me alone I need to cultivate. Go to my mother. She'll like your type of character." Xue Bai said as he left the girl to herself.

Xue Bai wanted to close up and reach the peak of the Vein Transformation Realm as soon as possible. He could cultivate a year earlier than everyone, and he wanted to establish a lead that would make it so that no one his age could ever catch up to him.

Xue Bai's goal was to reach the Bone Strengthening Realm before the plot began in 975, and he had a little less than 3 years to complete it. But with his potential, it wouldn't be too hard as long as he didn't run into any significant problems.

But to reach that, Xue Bai needed to cultivate like a madman. Crossing 3 Realms in 3 years was almost impossible, even with his Low Heaven Grade Martial Veins. Thankfully with Huli Jing's spatial ring, Xue Bai wouldn't be lacking in resources to help him get there.

Thankfully Xue Bai's thoughts weren't known to the outside because if so, he would be beaten to death. Wang Yu was seen as a heaven-sent genius, yet he was only going to reach the Bone Strengthening Realm at 15. Yet Xue Bai wanted to reach it two years earlier. If he wasn't crazy, then what was he?

Crossing 3 Realms in 3 years was something never done before in the Southern Continent. Maybe only the geniuses from the Central Continent could achieve something like that. And even in the Central Continent, maybe only peak geniuses could do that.

Meanwhile, Yan Fengxian was getting aggravated by how Xue Bai treated her. But her father told her repeatedly not to antagonize him as Xue Bai was going to be a dragon when he matured.

'HUMPH! Big Brother Long is better.' Yan Fengxian thought childishly, unaware of how right her childish thought was.

Xue Bai went to his room and tried to prepare for his first close door seclusion. He had enough Spirit Fruits to be able to reach the peak of the Vein Transformation Realm. It only matters how fast he would do it.

In his courtyard, he saw Xiao'er kicking her small pale feet in the pond.

"Young Master, you're back!" Sensing Xue Bai enter, Xiao'er turned around excitedly.

Standing up from the pond, Xiao'er ran up to Xue Feng and hugged him.

"I missed you so much!" Xiao'er said while smothering Xue Bai.

Though Xiao'er was still a young and growing girl, biological physics didn't work typically in a cultivation world, and she was already well endowed at a young age. And coupled with the fact that Xue Bai only stood up to her chest, he was very well starting to suffocate in between her two mountains.

At first, Xue Bai was feeling great pleasure in between her mountains, but when he started to lose oxygen, he pushed himself away from Xiao'er before he croaked.

"You vixen! Why are you trying to kill me?" Xue Bai accused, after he got free.

"Young Master, how could you say that." Xiao'er said as she looked heartbroken, "I was only trying to greet my Young Master as a maid should."

Dumbfounded at her response, Xue Bai didn't know what to say for a moment. Someone is corrupting his cheerful naive maid!

"Who taught you this, Xiao'er? Whoever taught you this is a bad person, and you shouldn't listen to them in the future." Xue Bai questioned.

"But it was taught to me by Mistress," Xiao'er spoke softly, "How can I not listen to her in the future?"

"Mother?" Xue Bai muttered.

'Why the hell is mother teaching Xiao'er how to seduce me? I can't even pass down the family line yet. So what purpose does this serve?'

"Ahem- Still listen to mother. Just think about what she is teaching you before you apply it in the real world." Xue Bai coughed.

He couldn't possibly tell Xiao'er not to listen to Li Rou. Wouldn't that make the maid a rebel?

Hearing Xue Bai's words, Xiao'er seemed to commit them to memory before asking what was on her mind.

"Young Master, why are you here? I noticed that some important guests are visiting. Shouldn't you be accompanying them?"

"That girl is annoying, so I am going to cultivate in my room. I feel like I can break through to the 9th stage, so I'm going to close up for a while." Xue Bai waved off as he walked to his bedroom.

"Then, Young Master, do you still want me to deliver you food, or do you want some fasting pills?" Xiao'er spoke.

Xue Bai was about to close the door when he heard Xiao'er speak.

"I want to keep my sense of taste. So continue to send me food. But only lunch and dinner, breakfast won't be necessary." Xue Bai said as he closed the door.
