Twelve years ago.

Yihong City, the most remote city in the southwest of the Dongchen Empire.

There is a kind of spiritual fruit called "sweet spring fruit" here, this fruit is born with a trace of spiritual power, and after drying, soaking in water not only prolongs life, but also tastes extremely beautiful, and the dignitaries of Yihong City and even nearby cities like this natural delicacy.

Unfortunately, this type of fruit can only grow naturally and cannot be cultivated artificially. After a large number of harvesting, the sweet spring fruit became more and more scarce, so that it could only be seen in the dangerous places infested by spirit beasts.

Unwilling to lose this delicacy, the big men issued a long-term reward task in the only monk academy in Yihong City, "Yihong Academy", where students can exchange sweet spring fruits for spirit stones.

Elder Zhiyun is the outer elder of Yihong Academy, and tasks such as collecting sweet spring fruits are generally taken by students from the outer courtyard, and the students of the outer courtyard often do not have much practical experience, Elder Zhiyun's task is to regularly lead the students of the outer courtyard to the wilderness to collect fruits, and she has been in charge of this work for several years.

However, this time, when she was about to lead the team to set off again, the dean and the others personally came out to oppose it, the reason was very simple, Elder Zhiyun was pregnant.

"Dean, don't worry, there are few students doing the task this time, I am the most familiar with the mountain range on the west side, my body is fine now, I will come to this mission!"

Elder Zhiyun has always been a strong woman, and even if she is pregnant, she does not want to leave behind the work of the academy.

Yihong Academy is just a small college, and there are not many teachers here, so if she takes a vacation, manpower will indeed be a problem. After thinking about it carefully, the dean told her several times, and had to agree to let her lead the team again.

Everything was familiar with the road, and Elder Zhiyun rushed to the deep mountains on the west side of Yihong City with five teenage children.

"Attention, there may be a spirit beast called 'Bone Wolf' here, about the cultivation is in the late stage of the Enlightenment, most of you are not its opponents, so you must not be separated, I will solve the danger when encountered!"

"Yes!" Elder Zhiyun's words were absolutely authoritative, and the disciples in the outer court were in great awe of her, not only because she was already a monk in the late stage of the Spirit Building Realm at a young age, but also because of her pungent and straightforward personality, if she offended her, there would be no good fruit to eat.

Under the leadership of Zhiyun, a team of people and horses moved forward quickly, dense towering trees covered this mountain range, and the unique moisture in the deep forest mixed with the smell of corruption in the soil suppressed the mood of everyone who stepped into the forest.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Just as they were looking around for the Sweet Spring Fruit, a strange sound passed through the layers of dense forests and sounded straight in the depths of everyone's mind.

"Ah?!" the children screamed in horror, a feeling they had never felt before, as if a terrifying beast of the wilderness had struck the softest place in their hearts and destroyed it with impunity.

"It's not good! Withdraw!" Zhiyun was startled, even she couldn't resist the deterrent effect of the roar, so she could only hug a few children, and desperately drag them back to the same way in a panic.

"Boom!"

Before they had stumbled a few steps, the constant roar died down, replaced by a loud bang, and the ground began to tremble violently.

"Get out of the way, the tree is falling!"

Zhiyun screamed, regardless of her pregnancy, pushed away several children, and behind her, several towering trees were actually broken by the earthquake and fell down at them.

At the last moment, Elder Zhiyun's whole body of holy power condensed his palms, and he slammed into the ground, and a rebounding force pushed her several feet away, barely escaping the catastrophe.

"Teacher, are you alright?"

"Hold on to the trunk and watch your surroundings!"

The ground was still shaking violently, and she held on to a large tree and shouted at several children, not knowing what was going on with the sudden earthquake, but saving her life was the most important thing now.

But as soon as she finished shouting, the shaking suddenly disappeared, and the surrounding trees stopped shaking.

"Quick, run out!" Zhiyun was stunned, no matter what was going on, this was definitely not a place to stay for a long time, she immediately rushed to the side of several children, grabbed them and wanted to flee.

"Teacher, look over there!" a little girl suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"Huh?" Zhiyun was stunned for a moment, and looked towards the little girl's gaze, and bursts of black fog appeared on the ground in the depths of the dense forest, and then, a black hole appeared on the ground out of thin air, and several lightning flashed from the entrance of the cave from time to time.

"Quick, you go back first, follow the path you just came!" Elder Zhiyun gritted his teeth and decided to let the children leave immediately first, and stay and check on himself.

There are many legends of the birth of strange treasures in the monk's shijie, often accompanied by various visions, and Elder Zhiyun is naturally unwilling to give up such a great fortune, and he is ruthless to find out.

When the children had run away, she slowly walked towards the dark hole step by step, and every time she got closer, the inexplicable fear in her heart increased, but she still gritted her teeth and sweated profusely as she approached.

Slowly I saw clearly, it was a black hole that appeared out of thin air, the entrance of the cave was so dark that it was terrifying, the bottomless black hole seemed to lead directly to hell, and the lightning that came out of the hole from time to time added a bit of mystery to it.

"What's going on?"

Just as Zhiyun was about to approach, the entrance to the cave suddenly began to shrink, the ground began to return to its original appearance, and the lightning at the entrance of the cave flashed more restlessly and rapidly.

"Bang!"

With a popping sound, the entire cave mouth disappeared, but at the moment of disappearance, a bolt of lightning broke free from the shackles of the black hole and jumped out, and after the black hole disappeared, the lightning quickly condensed into a clump and jumped where the hole had just appeared.

Zhiyun looked at the bright and jumping lightning as if fascinated, and his steps involuntarily began to move slowly.

"Bang bang!"

"Ah!!h

Just as she was about to get close to the lightning group, the lightning suddenly burst open, and in an instant, it slashed towards Zhiyun, who only had time to scream, and the whole person was unconscious.

When she woke up again, it was months later.

During this time, the entire academy was praying for her, and the miracle was that the child she was carrying had been fine, and Zhiyun's belly was getting bigger and bigger in the process of her coma.

What's even more gratifying is that after Zhiyun woke up, she gave birth soon after, and she got a healthy and lovely daughter.

"During the time I was in a coma, I had all kinds of dreams, and there was a name that always echoed in my mind," when she looked at her lovely daughter, she cried with joy to her husband who had always been with her, "Xia Ling!
