Deep in the Cloudmist Ridge .
Peng peng peng peng!
A figure was knocked back and crashed heavily into the cliff face . His face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and blood was spilling from his mouth .
He had lost a hand, and most of his bones had snapped from the many intense battles he had fought . Breathing raggedly, it felt as if he was just clutching to the final flicker of his life .
The enemy he was facing was a massive ape-like saint beast . It had a pitch-black body and enormous fists, and it possessed fearsome strength to fit its stature .
"I have not taken the Cloudmist Flower, I can't die just yet!"
Clenching his teeth, he pulled himself out from the cliff face through sheer resolution, and with his gaze fixated in the distance, he immediately charged over .
"Damn it!" Seeing how that fellow was still persisting on, the ape snorted heavily and charged at the man once more .
Upon reaching the level of a saint beast, the ape was already capable of speaking human speech .
It had encountered the human an hour ago, and considering that the other party was a Saint realm 1-dan intermediate stage cultivation, he thought that he should be able to easily send the other party fleeing with fear with a strike of its fist .
Who could have thought that the other party would disregard his injuries entirely and charge on resolutely, as if he was in a trance?
Pursuing the human, it had already landed over twenty clean punches on him .
With the incredible might of its fists, even a fellow Saint realm pinnacle beast would have succumbed by now . But no matter how many blows it landed on him, he just couldn't be stopped .
Hong long!
With a swift leap, the ape smashed that human into the ground, shattering innumerable bones in his body further .
Pu pu pu!
The human spewed yet another mouthful of fresh blood with so much force that it felt as if he would spew his innards out as well . The ape thought that he had finally defeated the human with this blow, but the other party abruptly leaped out from the ground in the next moment and trudged on .
"Just what is that fellow up to?" The ape couldn't comprehend the human's persistence .
All lifeforms, be it human or beast, carried a natural deference for life . They were driven by a natural tendency for survival, and they would do anything they could to clutch on to life . Yet, that fellow rushed forward adamantly with no regard for his life .
"Soon . . . I will reach the area where the Cloudmist Flowers grow soon . . . " Paying no heed to the Ancient Ape, Wei Changfeng glanced at the surroundings as a spark of hope lit in his black eyes .
He was thinking that he would sneak onto the mountain, harvest a stalk of Cloudmist Flower, and leave quietly, but who could have thought that he would be so unlucky as to be spotted by the Virescent Voice Beast so early in, drawing in powerful beasts to him .
To be honest, as the boss of the Spirit Emporium, Wei Changfeng possessed many unique artifacts that would have allowed him to escape even from the Saint 1-dan pinnacle Ancient Ape . But . . . if he were to do that, it would be impossible for him to make it within the two day deadline that You Xu set .
He needed the Cloudmist Flower to trade for the Ten-leafed Flower in order to save his daughter's life . For that goal, even if death was at the very end of the path, he would tread on it without any hesitation!
Peng!
Struck yet again, Wei Changfeng was sent tumbling on the ground . With each blow, Wei Changfeng could feel his strength and consciousness being driven out from his body .
In a moment of daze, he could vaguely see a figure beckoning him over . . .
. . .
"I haven't met him yet, and I don't even know his gender, but he's our child . Even at the risk of my life, I can't allow anything to happen to him!"
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, a stream of tears flowed down her face as she faced him, "I know that you love me, and you will respect my decision . . . "
"No . . . " He wanted to reach out to stop her, but at this very moment, his strength was sealed . No matter how hard he struggled, his body just wouldn't move .
"With the severe injuries I carry on me, my life is already limited . I want to give my life to him and allow him to live on in my stead . . . "
With a dull moan, she transferred the remaining strength she had in her towards her womb, granting her child the strength to come to this world . A resounding cry of an infant echoed in the cavern . . .
Finally, he managed to break the seal that bound him, but by this point, she was already lying on the ground, devoid of strength . In his embrace, she smiled, "Changfeng, I'm sorry . Take care of our child and bring her up well . . . "
Before she could finish her words, her body had already slumped lifelessly .
. . .
"Your daughter has suffered considerable damage in the womb . I fear that she won't live more than three months!" An old man shook his head .
He gritted his teeth as he heard those words .
This life was one she had exchanged her life for . If his daughter were to die, how could he face the woman he deeply loved?
Thus, he traveled the world, searching for renowned physicians to treat his daughter .
"The spirit of artifacts can grant her soul the power to support her body, allowing her to live on . . . but this is only a temporary a measure . Its effectiveness will eventually wear out . . . " a 6-star physician told him .
"As long as she can live on, I am willing to pay any price . . . " he replied with clenched fists .
Thus, he built the Spirit Emporium and went around scouring for as many artifacts as he could, resorting to even underhanded means to obtain them . . .
Finally . . .
His daughter's condition improved .
"Papa . . . "
A young voice sounded . His eyes reddened, and at that moment, he felt as if everything he had done had paid off .
This was because . . . she was his daughter!
As well as her daughter!
. . .
"Where is mama?"
An eight-year-old child asked him . The gleam in her eyes and the slight frown on her forehead seemed like an exact replica of hers .
"She . . . has gone to a faraway place . . . "
Holding his daughter dearly, his eyes couldn't help but redden .
. . .
"Father, am I reaching my end? I feel so tired and exhausted . . . "
"You will be fine . Father will save you . . . " he spoke with a lump in his throat .
"The Ten-leafed Flower can save your daughter's life . . . " the young master told him .
"I need a stalk of Cloudmist Flower . If you can bring me a Cloudmist Flower within two days, I will trade my Ten-leafed Flower for it!" Vice School Head You Xu said with a nod .
