Chapter 68 Parents should plan far ahead for their children! (Please subscribe)
Cuiyun Mountain.

Banana Grove!

Looking at Red Boy, who still looked like a child, and Princess Iron Fan, who was looking at him with eager eyes, Niu Jun couldn't help but sigh.

"Humanity is insignificant, and the path to immortality is boundless."

"Although Yan'er has a natural fire spirit body and good aptitude and comprehension, if she were of human blood, she would only need to join a major sect and ascend to immortality within twenty or thirty years, which would be a common occurrence!"

“But you and I are not ordinary people. Yan’er’s blood is not ordinary either. It is the blood of a true god and demon. Its quality is no less than that of a true dragon or phoenix. It has a lifespan of ten thousand years. In the past 130 years, it has not yet passed the age of infancy.”

"To consider becoming an immortal now is like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, or cutting off a crane to continue a duck's life—it's too hasty!"

How is your son doing?

As his father, he naturally knew this.

In the original Journey to the West, Niu Yan, also known as Red Boy, became a demon king of Xiniu Hezhou in just over three hundred years.

While the influence of his predecessor, the Bull Demon King, is certainly a factor, Red Boy's own strength cannot be denied.

Three hundred years is undoubtedly a very long time for ordinary people, enough for a mortal dynasty to enter a cycle of reincarnation.

However, for a true descendant of immortals and demons like Red Boy, even at over three hundred years old, he was still in his infancy, equivalent to a three or four-year-old child in the human race.

And this is only the Red Boy from the original story.

The current Red Boy, Niu Yan, under the tutelage of Niu Jun and Princess Iron Fan, is even more outstanding than the Red Boy in the original story. In less than 150 years, he has already touched the realm of True Immortal.

Even under such circumstances of suppression and continuous strengthening of the foundation.

If cultivation were truly unleashed, it would probably take less than a hundred years to achieve true immortality.

However, there are always gains and losses!
Even though a child of a god or demon like Red Boy has immense potential and extremely high cultivation aptitude, his mental and spiritual growth is not much stronger than that of ordinary beings.

In many cases, their mental and physical growth is not as significant as their physical strength. They need to devote most of their mental and physical energy to controlling the surge in power within their bodies, which in turn affects their intelligence.

This is why many offspring of gods and demons, despite being hundreds of years old, lack moral character and remain as innocent as blank sheets of paper.

The same applies to Red Boy!

Even if his potential and strength are greater than those of immortal and demon offspring, or even divine beast offspring of the same age, his temperament is still not mature enough and he is not suitable to become an immortal so early.

"Then, as my husband wishes?"

Princess Iron Fan asked with some concern.

She wasn't unaware of her son's situation; rather, Red Boy's situation was somewhat unusual.

Even with all the suppression, the power hidden in his bloodline continues to grow rapidly with age.

“Two ways!”

"One option is for me to completely seal or extract Yan'er's bloodline and power, allowing her to become a mortal and start anew!"

"The second is to let Yan'er experience things in advance, temper her mind and will, and eventually completely control the power within her body."

Niu Jun spoke calmly, explaining his solution.

These two methods, though seemingly different, are actually one: to hone and enhance Red Boy's willpower so that he can fully master the power within his body.

However, compared to the second method, the first one is more extreme, directly sealing or extracting the divine and demonic bloodline from Red Boy's body, forcing him to become a mortal and start anew.

Without destruction, there can be no construction; this is how we break the shackles of bloodline and physical constitution.

As one of the Heavenly Emperors of the universe said, "The strongest physique in the world is not a divine body, a holy body, or a chaotic body, but a mortal body."

Because the stronger one's physique, the more it is affected by the laws of the Great Dao, and the more difficult it is to break free from the shackles of one's physique.

On the contrary, it is a mortal body.

Because it's too weak.

This is why there is the possibility of continuous transformation, thus possessing greater potential and future.

Of course, Niu Jun also knew that for ordinary people, the possibility of a mortal body surpassing a divine or holy body was extremely small. This matter was like a genetic mutation, a gamble with an extremely low probability.

Therefore, most cultivators pursue extraordinary physiques such as divine bodies, holy bodies, and Dao bodies, rather than placing their hopes on cultivating mortal bodies.

Even the smallest probability is still a glimmer of hope.

With Niu Jun's own strength and family wealth, he could easily persuade his son to give up his innate fire spirit body and divine bloodline to try his luck on the path of ultimate evolution of a mortal body.

Therefore, when he proposed these two methods, he still hoped that Red Boy would choose the first option.

"this?"

Princess Iron Fan hesitated upon hearing this.

Clearly, neither of these two methods suited her taste.

"Husband, it's not that I'm reluctant to part with Yan'er, but Yan'er is still too young and his mind is not yet mature. Wouldn't it be too early to send him down the mountain to gain experience now?"

Princess Iron Fan frowned slightly, reluctant to let her son go down the mountain to train so early.

"It's alright. I once created a time-space dream technique that can capture images of a period of time in the past and cultivate in dreams, a dream that lasts for ten thousand years."

"Capture a fragment of time, weave a dream world, and let Yan'er enter it to cultivate for three to five thousand years and settle down properly."

"By then, in just a few years in the Earthly Immortal Realm, the dream experience and breakthrough to True Immortal will be complete. When they awaken with their memories, breaking through to True Immortal Realm again in reality will be a natural outcome."

Like Princess Iron Fan, Niu Jun did not intend to send his son down the mountain for training now. Instead, he planned to extract past time and space images to create a dream world for Red Boy to enter and cultivate.

To wander in the vast emptiness, to cultivate truth through illusion.

When Red Boy awoke from the dream world, he had likely already made up for the deficiencies in his mind and will. Breaking through to the realm of True Immortal was a natural progression, and there would be no hidden dangers.

Princess Iron Fan was still somewhat reluctant upon hearing this, but she also knew that this was the best solution.

However, she still had some concerns and worries, saying, "If we really let Yan'er cultivate in the dream world for so long, will he become estranged from us after he wakes up?"

Hearing this expression of concern!

Niu Jun remained silent.

Nothing in this world is perfect, just as no method is perfect.

The same applies to the Great Dream Reincarnation Technique!
Although this technique has many mysteries, worldly affairs are a great calamity, and each dream is like a cycle of reincarnation.

Even though they know that everything is Dharma, they are still influenced by worldly desires such as kinship, friendship, and love in the dream world, and even willingly sink into the dream, unwilling to wake up again.

Red Boy's mind is not yet fully developed. If he were to cultivate in the dream world for three to five thousand years, he would definitely be affected by the dreams, which would dilute his real-life emotions.

Therefore, what Princess Iron Fan was worried about was not just a possibility, but an inevitability.

Even without the influence of the Great Dream Reincarnation Technique, once Red Boy grows up, matures, and has his own life, he will still become estranged from his parents and family.

Sons grow up and become independent of their fathers; daughters grow up and become independent of their mothers.

When children grow up, they develop their own opinions and will certainly not obey their parents as they did when they were young.

Therefore, whether or not they will become estranged in the future does not depend on the Dream Realm, but on Red Boy himself.

Thinking of this, even Niu Jun couldn't help but sigh and said softly, "As parents, we should plan far ahead for our children. What the future holds is up to Yan'er himself."

"If Madam is worried that Yan'er will spend too much time cultivating in the dream world and become estranged from us, she might as well send a wisp of her soul into the dream world with Yan'er."

"Children will eventually grow up, spread their wings and fly to find their own path in life. We need to adapt to this gradually."

Watching your children grow up and gradually drift away is an inevitable path for every parent, so we must also live for ourselves.

This is especially true for an immortal deity.

Family ties are important, but not essential.
