Tang Baozhu was passing the time by looking at the jade slip, since Xu Rui was setting up an array outside the valley and definitely didn't have time to keep her company.
She happened to want to learn more, so she was reading the jade slips in the room when she suddenly sneezed several times. With her current cultivation level, she wouldn't have caught a cold or gotten sick at all.
He wondered who was cursing him, since he didn't seem to have any nemesis. Could it be the white-clad woman he met in that big city by the sea? Was she cursing him because he had crippled her cultivation?
Besides that, I can't think of anything else. After all, I've been following Xu Rui ever since I came here, and the two of us have basically never been apart. Apart from that woman in white, I can't think of anyone else I've offended.
Fortunately, he only muttered a few words to himself and didn't take it to heart.
After all, she wasn't planning to go out now and would stay in the valley until she gave birth, so she didn't believe anything bad would happen.
He took out the jade slip and continued to examine it against his forehead. The contents were still useful, and he unknowingly became immersed in the ocean of knowledge.
Time passed as Tang Baozhu read the jade slip and Xu Rui set up the formation.
Time is truly worthless to cultivators; a simple seclusion can last for several months, and time passes by unnoticed.
As the due date drew closer, Tang Baozhu couldn't help but start to feel nervous. She had given birth to so many children, but none of them had ever been as dangerous as this one.
To think that having a child would result in being struck by lightning—if I weren't in a world of cultivation, who would believe it?
Xu Rui was also very nervous. He was setting up the final part of the formation, which would be ready to be used soon.
He couldn't help but be nervous, because his wife's belly was really big, and just looking at it made his heart race.
On the contrary, his wife seemed to be getting thinner and thinner. She ate all sorts of good things, and even the most precious medicinal herbs were stewed into soups for her to eat, but unfortunately, the effects were not very significant.
He always had the feeling that his wife was about to give birth at any moment, and he was worried that his formation was not yet ready before his wife was about to give birth, so he was actually very nervous.
He was just worried that if he showed signs of nervousness, it would affect his wife, and if they both became nervous, it could be dangerous.
Hu Yuan and Xu Rui are truly good brothers. They have been staying in the small valley for some time now, just in case something unexpected happens to Tang Baozhu, so they can take care of her and provide timely treatment.
To put it bluntly, it's to prevent her from having a premature birth. After all, Xu Rui's formation hasn't been set up yet, and it would be quite difficult if she had a premature birth.
Even the sect leader would occasionally come to check on things. Ever since he heard about the condition of the child in Tang Baozhu's belly, he had become particularly interested.
As the sect leader, he hoped that the sect could recruit some exceptionally talented geniuses so that the sect could be passed down from generation to generation without worrying about its decline.
Knowing that the child in her womb possessed extraordinary talent, he was bound to be extremely interested. He had already planned to bring them to the sect for upbringing when they were five or six years old, so that their feelings for the sect would be even stronger.
Xu Rui and Tang Baozhu both knew what the sect leader was thinking, but they just didn't care. There was nothing wrong with having someone help take care of the child.
Moreover, this sect is indeed quite good, and it's impossible for the two of them to leave this place with several children, so relatively speaking, the sect is the best choice.
During this time, Tang Baozhu did not leave the small valley, which infuriated the people waiting outside. Those with ill intentions often pretended to pass by outside the valley, just to see if there was a chance to give her a heavy blow.
Unfortunately, Tang Baozhu never even left her house, so how could she possibly give them a chance?
Of course, Tang Baozhu was unaware that someone was plotting against her. She was simply exhausted, and the baby in her womb was constantly absorbing her spiritual energy.
Aside from reading the jade slips, she spent almost all her time replenishing the spiritual energy of the baby in her womb, and had no time to go out at all.
In fact, the small valley where Xu Rui was located was not a place that just anyone could pass through. After all, it was the territory led by the Supreme Elder, and without a certain level, one was not qualified to enter the back mountain.
Therefore, those who passed by Xu Rui's door were all elder-level women with very high cultivation levels. If Tang Baozhu wasn't careful, she could easily fall into their trap.
Xu Rui worked until dark before finally finishing setting up the formation. He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he wouldn't have to worry about anything going wrong.
Originally, with his skill in array formations, he shouldn't have needed to worry so much, but just in case, he set up the most advanced array formations, which is why it took so long.
That morning, Tang Baozhu had just gotten up when she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. A thought immediately popped into her mind: it seemed like she was about to give birth.
Without any hesitation, she called Xu Rui over, "Honey, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable, like I'm about to give birth."
Xu Rui has been inseparable from Tang Baozhu lately, worried that a situation like this might happen, so he's here with her now.
Upon hearing that his wife was about to give birth, he jumped up from the stool and, without saying a word, carried Baozhu to the place where he had set up the formation.
As soon as they entered the formation, the sun, which had been shining brightly in the sky, was instantly obscured by dark clouds.
Tang Baozhu felt her stomach hurting more and more, as if she was about to give birth, but she also had a feeling that it wasn't time yet, so she was in excruciating pain.
The strange changes in the sky had already been observed by those who were interested, and those who knew the situation knew that Tang Baozhu was about to give birth.
Upon seeing the changes in the sky, Hu Yuan and the sect leader immediately flew towards Xu Rui's small valley. Other elders, supreme elders, and even a supreme elder at the Mahayana stage who were in seclusion had also emerged from their seclusion.
Before long, almost everyone, whether they knew or not, knew that this was the noise caused by childbirth.
Fortunately, these people knew their limits and didn't get too close. After all, if they got too close, it would give the Heavenly Dao the feeling that there were many people around, and the tribulation lightning that would descend would definitely be more powerful.
However, Xu Rui was the only one beside Tang Baozhu at the moment. Even Hu Yuan and the sect leader were far away, worried that it would increase the power of the lightning punishment.
Tang Baozhu knew that Xu Rui was going to help her withstand the lightning tribulation, and she didn't expect him to help her deliver the baby. However, she couldn't handle it by herself, so she simply released two of the puppets from her space.
