MARTIAL PEAK 5584
The current Seven Stars Workshop was completely different from the Seven Stars Workshop Yang Kai had seen in the past. The vast Sect occupied countless Spiritual Mountains and Spirit Peaks, and within these Spirit Peaks, pavilions could be vaguely seen in the wilderness. Many rare birds and beasts roamed about, creating a majestic atmosphere.
After several tens of thousands of years of inheritance, this Sect which had migrated from another place in the past had gained a profound heritage.
It had been a long time since Yang Kai had paid any attention to the situation in his Small Universe World, so when he first investigated Seven Stars Workshop, he couldn't help feeling like things had changed.
He still had some feelings for Seven Stars Workshop. After all, his Soul incarnation had stayed here for some time and his three disciples had all been taught here.
After searching for a while, Yang Kai didn't find anything, so he wasn't in a hurry, instead carefully searching around.
A few years later, Yang Kai's Divine Sense once again swept across Seven Stars Workshop, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat as he thought to himself that he had some kind of fate with Seven Stars Workshop.
It was one thing for the three disciples to be taken in from Seven Stars Workshop, but now the Human Race Body for his cultivation is also there.
In fact, over the past few years, Yang Kai had made many choices, but none of them had been satisfactory. Since this matter concerned his future, Yang Kai naturally didn't dare to be careless. He had to do his best.
This opportunity was quite satisfactory.
After carefully examining it, Yang Kai no longer hesitated and secretly activated the Three Part Normalizing Art. In an instant, his Soul was torn apart and his aura fell dramatically.
When he killed those Innate Territory Lords and used the Soul Shattering Spike, he would also need to tear apart his Soul and attach his Soul Power to the Soul Shattering Spike, injuring himself and his enemies.
However, that kind of tearing was different from what was happening right now. At this moment, Yang Kai suddenly felt as if he had been split into two. If it weren't for the fact that he had used the Soul Shattering Spike countless times over the years, the pain alone would have been unbearable and he would have fainted on the spot.
This guy Shi… The method of deduction was extremely strange. If it was useful, it was naturally worth it, but if it wasn't, he would have suffered in vain.
After his Soul was torn apart, not only did Yang Kai's aura drop drastically, he also became extremely weak, and even his spirit were sluggish. His entire body became dizzy and hot, as if he had a high fever.
Right now, he probably couldn't even display half of his peak strength. If he were to encounter Innate Territory Lord, he would only be killed.
He forced himself to maintain his consciousness and used a Secret Technique to seal the Soul he had torn out layer by layer. After all, this Soul was torn out from a top Eighth Order master, so it was not something an ordinary vessel could withstand, so he had to seal it.
After sealing this Soul Clone, Yang Kai let out a long sigh. With a thought, the Soul Clone instantly pierced through the Small Universe and flew off in a certain direction.
Seven Stars Workshop was a top sect that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Not only was the atmosphere inside the Seven Stars Workshop magnificent, even the outside of the Sect was filled with flowers.
Several large cities surrounded Seven Stars Workshop like a bright moon surrounding the star, with countless cultivators coming and going.
Twenty kilometers away from one of the great cities, there was a Fang Family Manor. The Fang Family's ancestors had once been a master of Seven Stars Workshop, but their aptitude wasn't too good and their highest cultivation was only at the Dao Source Stage, which passed away a thousand years ago.
Over the past thousand years, the Fang Family had produced a number of talented cultivators, but none of them were particularly talented, so naturally they couldn't bring glory to their family.
Although the entire Void World was filled with people with outstanding aptitude, most people were still far from becoming geniuses.
Fortunately, the current cultivation environment was much better than it had been tens of thousands of years ago. As long as one wasn't an idiot, there would always be some kind of cultivation. As for how high one's cultivation was, it would depend on one's talent and hard work.
The Fang Family's Patriarch, Fang Yubai, was one of these common people. His cultivation wasn't high and he was only at the True Element Stage. Such a cultivation was simply insignificant in the entire Void World.
Fortunately, he didn't have much ambition, and the passage of time had long worn down his high-spiritedness as a youth. More than ten years ago, he had married a wife and lived on the meager inheritance of his ancestors.
The cultivation of the Fang Family Patriarch's wife, Zhong Yuxiu, was slightly worse than Fang Yubai's, only at the Separation And Reunion stage. Fortunately, she was knowledgeable and virtuous.
The husband and wife played the zither and sang harmoniously, standing aloof from worldly affairs, living a carefree life.
This was the current life of most people in the entire Void World. Those so-called geniuses who could fly through the sky and escape the world's shackles were still too far away from them.
During this time, Fang Yubai's life had been quite miserable.
The old Fang Family only had one heir for ten generations now, and the number of descendants they had was not high. No one knew what the situation was, but when it came to Fang Yubai's generation, not only did the situation not improve, it seemed to have worsened.
The husband and wife had been married for more than a decade now, and Fang Yubai could be considered a diligent man. He didn't neglect his work, but his wife's stomach just couldn't get any bigger. Seeing his wife getting older, Fang Yubai couldn't help feeling worried, not knowing if it was because of him or his wife.
Fortunately, thanks to the blessings of the Fang Family's ancestors, six months ago, the family's Madam suddenly felt unwell and woke up early, feeling dizzy and nauseous while eating. After some investigation, both of them were overjoyed to found that the Madam was pregnant.
Fang Yubai immediately offered incense and prayed to his ancestors, reporting this great news.
Since then, Fang Yubai had taken great care of his wife, fearing that she would have an accident. Even his wife's many years of practice with the sword had been denied by Fang Yubai, allowing her to take good care of her baby and prevent it from being affected.
Zhong Yuxiu naturally listened to him and let out a sigh of relief when she finally became pregnant.
Unfortunately, life was not as good as they had hoped.
Half a month ago, Zhong Yuxiu suddenly felt that the fetus in her womb had stopped moving. After all, she had a Separation and Reunion cultivation, so she had some understanding of her body's condition.
The husband and wife were greatly frightened and quickly paid a great price to invite an expert to investigate.
In the end, the husband and wife found it difficult to accept the result. The embryo in her stomach seemed to lack vitality, and it was uncertain whether it would be able to grow up smoothly. All they could do now was focus on nourishing the embryo, and everything else was up to fate.
Fang Yubai sent off the expert in a daze, taking care of his wife every day.
However, the couple could clearly feel that the fetus in the stomach was becoming less lively.
Fang Yubai's heart was filled with sorrow. He didn't know what kind of taboo the Fang Family had committed. It wasn't easy for them to have a child at such a young age, but now they were actually at risk of losing it.
If he couldn't keep this child, there was a high chance that the Fang's Family legacy would die out. Every time he thought about this, Fang Yubai felt ashamed to his ancestors.
Zhong Yuxiu's face was also covered in tears all day long. Although she knew that her emotions would affect the fetus in her womb, she could not hide the sadness in her heart.
This was probably the sorrow of the Mother.
On this day, Fang Yubai was leading the Fang Family's servants to investigate the spirit fields on the farm. Seven Stars Workshop was a large Sect, so disciples always needed to use some Spirit Pills to cultivate. Outside Seven Stars Workshop, people like the Fang Family would open up some spirit fields and plant some simple spirit herbs to sell.
There were countless people like the Fang Family in Seven Stars Workshop's territory, and it was precisely the spirit medicines planted in these various farms that could satisfy the needs of a large Sect's lower-level disciples.
Inside the spirit field, the growth of these spirit medicines was quite good, but Fang Yubai still couldn't help thinking about his wife and the child in her stomach.
At this moment, a maid rushed over from afar and shouted, "Patriarch, this is not good. The Madam said her stomach is in pain and wants you to hurry back."
When Fang Yubai heard this, he no longer had the mood to investigate the spirit medicine field and instead rushed off with all his might.
When he returned home, he could hear his wife's suppressed moans from far away. He rushed into the inner room and pushed aside a few maidservants and old women who were serving her, seeing Zhong Yuxiu lying on the bed with a pale face.
Fang Yubai slowly sat down and asked nervously, "Madam, how do you feel?"
Zhong Yuxiu's forehead was dripping with sweat and her clothes were also drenched in sweat, obviously in unbearable pain. Seeing the return of the Old Master, the grievance in her heart and the pain in her body surged up as she cried, "Old Master, this Mistress' stomach hurts, my child…"
"What happened to the child?" Fang Yubai paled.
"The Child… there's been no movement for a long time," Zhong Yuxiu cried.
A fetus that was six months old was the most active in the mother's womb. Although it was lacking in vitality before, it would occasionally roll over and kick the belly, but after a long period of silence, it was clear that something big had happened.
Fang Yubai felt as if he had been struck by lightning and couldn't help howling in his heart, 'The Heavens really don't have mercy on my Fang Family! It wasn't easy for me to obtain a child, but now it's actually going to die in my womb.' He thought to himself, 'Although he doesn't have any great kindness in this world, he never do any evil deed. What kind of fate is this?'
"Ah, blood!" A maid suddenly cried out in horror.
Fang Yubai looked down and saw that there was indeed blood flowing out from under his wife's body, staining the bed beneath her.
"Madam fainted," The maidservant called out again.
Fang Yubai also became extremely frightened, "Madam!"
The room was suddenly thrown into chaos. Under this sudden change, Fang Yubai was at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Kacha…
A blast of thunder rang out, causing everyone in the room to jump in fright. This thunder was somewhat different from normal thunder, and it seemed to last for a long time. The moment the thunderclap rang out, the sky brightened for a moment, and the lightning that streaked across the sky seemed to want to split the entire sky.
"A thunderbolt on a sunny day, it's a thunderbolt on a sunny day!" An old woman muttered. It had to be known that it was daytime, and it was a cloudless day, so it was obviously abnormal for such a bolt of lightning to explode now.
Fang Yubai was on the verge of going crazy. The Fang Family had been kind for generations, but now they were going to have no descendants. How sad was this? Even the Heavens couldn't bear to see this happen?
What made him even more helpless was how to deal with this situation if the fetus really died.
After all, he had never experienced something like this before, so it could be said that he was completely inexperienced.
The maids and old women in the room were also in a mess.
Just as he was at his wits' end, a loud bang suddenly rang out. At first, Fang Yubai didn't pay it any mind, only howling in sorrow.
But when this voice rang out for the second time, Fang Yubai suddenly felt that something was wrong and slowly stopped speaking, staring at his wife's stomach in surprise.
