While Jia Zhangshi was plotting to drug Wu Niang with Bang Geng, Fu Qingyao arrived at Wu Wei's bright red-decorated fortress hall at Wu Wei's invitation.
They sat facing each other across the glass coffee table, drinking tea and chatting: "Girl, how have you been lately?"
"Mom, I'm pregnant and I'm feeling nauseous. I can't keep eating anything and I'm vomiting. It's so uncomfortable. Please help me!" Wu Wei was worried about the baby in her womb and didn't dare to use her supernatural abilities to suppress her discomfort. She just couldn't stand the nausea anymore.
Fu Qingyao, who was worried about the child, said with a sense of reassurance: "It's okay, don't be nervous, it's just a normal reaction."
Tell Mom what you want to eat right now, and Mom will make it for you fresh.
"Mom, thank you for your trouble, but I'd like something sour?" Wu Wei said shyly, holding up her teacup. Fu Qingyao was delighted. "Great! Sour for a boy, spicy for a girl. Are you pregnant with a big, healthy boy?"
Wait, Mom will make you pickled cabbage and fish rice noodles, I guarantee you'll eat your fill, haha!
"Mom, let me help you..."
"No need, just focus on your pregnancy..."
The interaction between the mother and daughter seemed to represent a return to their once harmonious and happy daily life.
Zheng Ya led his team to Wangyue Star and stood in the Ningwang Fortress hall, scrutinizing the battle outside. He said, "They've even sent a seventh-tier demon. What are they planning to do?"
"Could it be that word got out about us helping someone achieve enlightenment and break through their cultivation level, causing the other side to send a demon to test us and find out the truth?" Prince Ning's off-white casual clothes contrasted sharply with his solemn expression.
One day, I will help someone achieve enlightenment and break through their spiritual level; only five or six spots are available.
Each person needs to pay eight million points to break through a major realm.
For more than three months, the number of people coming and going only increased, forcing Zheng Ya to increase the number of slots to ten and the cost to ten million, but he was still overwhelmed with orders.
All told, he helped seven or eight hundred people break through the shackles of their cultivation realm.
This is a vital force.
But a tall tree catches the wind, and the news might accidentally leak out?
Otherwise, thirty to forty thousand elite demons would have invaded Wangyue Star, along with eighteen seventh-tier demons, and nearly destroyed three fortresses.
If Zheng Ya hadn't arrived in time to help, Prince Ning would have used his trump card and had the elders who had broken through the shackles of their cultivation realm suppress the demon.
Zheng Ya said dejectedly, "I'm worried that this situation will escalate and evolve into the main battlefield, and then it won't just be about whether or not I'm exposing my ability to help people achieve enlightenment and break through the shackles of their cultivation realm."
"What? How is this possible?" Prince Ning was stunned.
In fact, this is not impossible.
The primary and secondary battlefields for the demons depend on which side of the starry sky the demon army attacks, and are not under the official control of the Tower of Babel.
The authorities are merely coordinating defense efforts and promptly curbing the invasion of evil forces.
Of course, the newly established star portal has been protected by the Tower of Babel for ten years. Within a million light-year radius of the starry sky, there are only ordinary creatures, which cannot attract the attention of evil spirits. They will definitely not invade this useless starry sky to hunt.
But there are always exceptions.
As the saying goes, a serious illness requires strong medicine.
Once the demons' higher-ups discover that Zheng Ya can cultivate batches of experts and big shots for the Tower of Babel, they will take drastic measures against this starry sky.
Moreover, with problems arising at the top of the Tower of Babel, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be traitors. In order to eliminate Zheng Ya, a potential threat, it's perfectly normal to use a borrowed knife to kill someone by inviting evil spirits to invade this starry sky.
Zheng Ya was worried about something else: could it be that the fact that he and Xing Guan had temporarily suppressed the powerful will of their soul origins had brought about trouble?
No one knows what power that strong will possesses.
If the other party senses something, it's not impossible that its true form might orchestrate this demonic invasion to test the waters.
Besides, rival high-ranking officials might also sabotage things behind the scenes.
Zheng Ya couldn't tell which outcome it would be for the time being: "Nothing is impossible."
These eighteen seventh-tier demons have already made me reveal some of my strength.
What do you think will happen next?
"Yes, our four great families haven't been exposed, but you have exposed the fact that you possess an eighth-order human puppet. You're in trouble now, aren't you?" Prince Ning had a headache.
If we had known this would happen, we should have used the clan elders to suppress the seventh-tier demon. That might have been much better than Zheng Ya revealing his strength.
Even if Zheng Ya only revealed an eighth-order human puppet, it would be enough to attract the attention of hostile forces.
Zheng Ya sells sixth-tier peak human puppets to the public. How did he obtain eighth-tier human puppets?
While the two were talking, Li Yunlong slaughtered eighteen seventh-tier demons. Having had his fill of killing, he flashed to their side and said, "Haha, that was great! Next time there's something like this, call me, Old Li!"
"Yes, no problem. You'll have your day to dominate the battlefield." Zheng Ya knew he was warlike, and he was afraid that if the fighting never stopped, it would be a real problem.
Prince Ning, his eyes gleaming with envy, asked, "My dear son-in-law, what's the price of an eighth-tier human puppet..."
"No sale. Forget about it. That's unrealistic. The four great families should focus on raising money to break through their cultivation barriers and build a surprise force. That's the way forward." Zheng Ya waved his hand dismissively.
They had just completed the foundation building of their family's Yin-Yang and Five Elements soul origins, and were attempting to construct a great array to shape the soul origins of their foundations. They used people as test subjects and created an eighth-level Li Yunlong.
After all, given the possibility that evil spirits could invade all of humanity at any time and annihilate all of humanity in the myriad worlds, Zheng Ya's family alone could not save many people. Only by creating a foundation-building array to shape the origin of the soul could all of humanity be saved.
It is known that once the foundation of the soul's origin is fully established, it becomes impervious to all evil.
Because the array arranged on the soul's origin is a node-crossing network formed by the power of spacetime, it matches the existing foundation-building array of the soul's origin and has comprehensive offensive, defensive, and auxiliary functions. Therefore, invulnerability to all evils is a potential function of the foundation-building array.
Unfortunately, this operation could only be accomplished by Zheng Ya working together with his wives and concubines; it was impossible for him to do it alone, let alone save more people.
The only way is to create a foundational array for the origin of the soul.
But this kind of research has only just begun, and we don't even know when it will be completed, and then this accident happened.
Prince Ning realized he had been greedy: "Alright then."
To save the elders from their impending demise, I've even diverted your quota for cultivating outstanding talents for the family. Alas!
“Father-in-law, crying poverty won’t work with me.”
"I'll just say this: make me stronger so I can benefit you sooner. Don't always focus on those petty gains right in front of you. Are you leaving now?" Zheng Ya was afraid he would complain about being poor and clingy, so he left after saying this.
The Ning Prince's descendants stared blankly in the direction the two had left, when the strategist suddenly interjected, "Your Highness, isn't it time to take action?"
"Well, since the other side has made their move, let's step up our efforts and stir things up to test the waters, shall we?" Prince Ning gave a serious order, and his strategist immediately sent a message to the aristocratic families of the Qian Yuan Continent, thus beginning the war between the aristocratic families.
Zheng Ya was completely unaware of this. Upon returning to the Sihe Fortress, he was greeted by a good show. The whole family gathered in the hall to watch the spectacle unfold: "Husband, the beasts have successfully administered the potent drug..."
