"Hehe, I will ask them later when I et up with them." Shen Yuxin softly giggled and said.
They soon entered the bedroom and lay down on the bed.
"So, how was the competition?" She gently asked while lying beside him.
Shen Yuan turned around a little and pulled her into a hug before saying, "Haha it was fun, I enjoyed thrashing those morons from the Ironwood Mountain Sect."
"As long as you had fun." She gently smiled.
"But that Lei Ming... sothing was off about him." He frowned as he ntioned him.
Shen Yuxin slightly raised her head and looked at him, "Hmm? That Thunder Cloud Sect disciple? What was wrong with him?"
He paused and thought for a mont before lightly asking, "Mom, do you know about beings who look like they ca straight out of the Abyss?"
Shen Yuxin's eyes turned serious as she looked at him, "Where did you see one?"
Shen Yuan looked at her for a second before saying, "I t one during the Mystique Realm Trial, there was a crack in the Mystique Realm that led straight to the Abyssal Being. There I t with it."
She thought for a second before softly muttering, "Abyssal beings... so were the legends true? Are they coming back for an Epoch War?"
"Hmm? What are you talking about, Mom?" He asked as he felt his curiosity increasing at her words.
She raised her head and looked straight into his eyes, hesitation clear in her gaze as she struggled with whether to tell him about this or not.
In the end, she sighed and said, "In my hotown, there are various rumors about these so-called Abyssal Beings, but all the legends are re fairytales as there is no proof of them. So say they are the eternal scourge of existence, while others say they are hellish monsters released from hell to rain down destruction upon the myriad worlds."
"But one thing is certain, their return is not sothing we should be happy about." Shen Yuxin said with a serious expression on her face.
Shen Yuan frowned his eyebrows as the situation seed to be more serious than he had expected.
"Are you scared, Yuan'er?" She softly asked.
He raised an eyebrow, "Scared? No, not at all. In fact, I'm feeling excited, finally, there will be worthy opponents for to face."
"Haha good, that's my son." Shen Yuxin giggled softly while ruffling his hair.
Shen Yuan smiled, but deep within, he began thinking of making plans for the return of the Abyssal Beings.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, but I'll be going away for so days, I need to give this information to my hotown as well so they can start the preparations." She said.
"Hmm? Well, that's good as well, better to start making preparations early." He nodded his head.
"Sigh, and here I was thinking of taking you to the Asura Bloodlands for training." She sighed as if she suffered a great loss.
Shen Yuan felt his eye twitching at the ntion of the Asura Bloodlands.
He had heard of this na before—a desolate, cursed land soaked in the blood of countless cultivators who had waged war there.
This war-torn area is where the most brutal battles of the continent take place. Divided into four tiers—Outer Layer, Inner Layer, Core Layer, Asura Hell—each layer being increasingly harder to traverse as the Blood Miasma becos denser and the curse of the Asura takes hold of cultivators.
The thought of training there didn't scare him, but it definitely wasn't how he envisioned his next step in cultivation.
"Mom," he began, exhaling softly, "why do I get the feeling you enjoy watching suffer?"
Shen Yuxin softly giggled, her sapphire eyes sparkling with amusent. "What kind of mother would I be if I didn't prepare my son for the worst? You think the Abyssal Beings will take it easy on you?"
"Probably not," Shen Yuan admitted with a wry smile on his face, "but still, you could've started off with sothing a little less... murderous. Like the Draconic Venom Marsh. That place can help build my poison immunity, and I might even find the Inheritance of the Poison Dragon that fell there."
"Hmm, you can go to the Void Burning Volcano Zone to look for the Inheritance of the Golden Crows." Shen Yuxin lightly suggested.
He shook his head, leaning back into the pillows and pulling her closer. "You've got a twisted sense of parenting, you know that?"
"Mm, maybe," she replied, resting her head against his chest. "But I know you'll co back stronger than ever, no matter what challenges are thrown at you."
He gently placed a kiss on her forehead before softly muttering, "Goodnight, Mom."
She smiled at him, her heart swelling with affection. "Goodnight, Yuan'er," she whispered.
In the quiet of the room, with the faint glow of moonlight filtering through the window, mother and son drifted off to sleep peacefully.
...
The moon went down as the sun rose high in the sky, Shen Yuan's eyes fluttered open as he saw Shen Yuxin peacefully sleeping beside him.
As if sensing his gaze, she slowly opened her eyes, slowly raising her head as she looked into Shen Yuan's eyes, "Good morning, Yuan'er."
"Good morning, Mom." Shen Yuan smiled softly and said.
She sat up slowly, stretching gracefully as the morning sunlight fell on her beautiful figure, casting a golden glow on her white hair, "Mmm~ It's already morning, ti really passes faster when I'm with you."
Shen Yuan stared at her with srized eyes, but he soon snapped out of his thoughts and said with a soft smile, "I feel the sa, otherwise I'm mostly bored."
Shen Yuxin reached for his hand, her expression growing serious. "I'll be leaving today to return to my hotown. The news about the Abyss needs to be delivered imdiately."
He nodded, his expression turning serious as well. "The Abyssal Beings won't stay idle for long. It's better for the major clans to prepare. Are you sure you'll be all right traveling alone?"
Her lips curled into a confident smirk. "Do you really think anyone in this Continent can harm ? Besides, I'll use one of my personal teleportation arrays. It'll be a quick journey."
Shen Yuan relaxed slightly, though a part of him still felt uneasy about her going alone. "All right, but let know if anything happens."
She leaned forward, pressing a soft kiss to his forehead. "I will. And you, stay safe. Don't push yourself too hard in the Dual Cultivation Pagoda. The Void Transversing Art isn't sothing that can be learned overnight."
"Don't worry so much, I will take care of myself while practicing it, I'm not a kid anymore." he reassured her, though his eyes sparkled with excitent as he thought of finally mastering a space technique.
Shen Yuxin stood up from the bed, her movents as graceful as ever.
She dressed quickly, her robes flowing around her like water.
Before leaving, she turned to him one last ti. "Hehe, If you find so more fitting partners for yourself then you have my permission to take them before soone else beats you to the ga."
