Chapter 566: Training Courtyard (5)
This practice continued until the morning sun was at its highest. This is when I stopped my own motions and signaled for everyone to relax. My brothers and sisters fell to their butts on their individual meditation pillows. Each of them was exhausted and would be ready for a nap… However, there was at least one more thing I had to show them. And then one other thing I would give them.
"Alright now, you should be feeling exhausted. I know you'd like to take a nap but do your best to pay attention. As I'm going to demonstrate the results of that training. For this next bit. I am going to suppress myself down to nothing more than an average mortal… Meaning, I will not use any of my Qi, nor world force, nor fate. This will be a pure demonstration of might from one who has honed their body through rigorous practice." I explained. "After this we'll get you a good meal." I chuckled, with a joyful smile. Then I looked around. "I'm going to say this as a warning. But just because I'll be at mortal strength doesn't mean I can't flash back to my full strength. So don't get any crazy ideas." I finished, saying that warning with just enough of a foreboding sense no one would be stupid enough to ignore my warning.
Suppressing myself down to mortal strength… Well it took a few breaths. But when I managed it, I began to do the same set of moves I had previously shown everyone. The first set was just a warm up, the second set was a bit faster and more precise. And then it was time to really show the limits of the physical body. As I continued the set of movements with a precision, speed and strength that caused the oppressing aura of Origin Kings to falter.
Soon I reach the fifth set, and the oppressive presence of Emperor Qi might as well have been nothing more than being at sea level as opposed to a high elevation like atop a mountain. The sixth and seventh sets were similar yet still had improvement with each move. And then came the eight set… This time, there wasn't a single part of my body that didn't radiate with a generative world force.
To the untrained eye, this seemed like I was using my own power. However, with the eyes of the open heaven realm… They saw it for the truth. Such a sight caused Smiles to stand up, murmuring to herself if what she saw was the truth. A query promptly answered by the ninth set, and finally the tenth.
"Son! What was that?!" Smiles all but yelled. The shock in her voice was clear for all to see.
"Hmm? What do you mean mother Smiles?" I asked, curious about what it was she was asking.
"Your execution of three sets of those motions just generated the equivalent world force of an established 7th rank open heaven!" She exclaimed.
"Ah, that… Hehehe" I chuckled and scratched the back of my head. "I'm surprised, I was able to suppress it that much… Quite interesting. I wonder if I tried it again could I get lower?" I wondered, rubbing my chin in thought.
"Answer me, how did you do that?!" Smiles asked again, this time she was attempting to shake me. Then she was shocked when I wasn't even budging.
"Hmm, I'm not exactly sure how I should explain it. To be honest though I think it's information all open heaven realms should instinctually have." I answered, shaving to take the roundabout route.
"Why do you think that?" Smiles asked, now even more confused and equally interested.
"Well, that little bit there was something I picked up after I broke through. Even, I couldn't have done it beforehand… At least I don't think so and there's no way to check it out now…" I answered.
Star Boundary's World Spirit appeared before me and simply crawled up and held herself on my neck before passing out. I repositioned her, so I'd be supporting her with my arm, which I assume would be more comfortable.
"Hmm, so… tired… and full… yummy…" Star Boundary's spirit murmured in her sleep.
"Oh, now's a good time to get something to eat." I chuckled, as the spirit slept soundly, cradled in my arm.
Using a small bit of power I put away my furnaces and teleported all of my siblings, my wives, my mothers, the world Spirit and myself, all to our family home where lunch was prepared. The maid servants had been eagerly awaiting our arrival to get opinions on the dishes they created for the little ones. When my siblings saw the food, a bit of drool fell from the corner of their lips. They had not been this hungry in a long time… Or rather, ever.
So the inevitable sound of munching and pleasant cries of happiness filled the room. My brothers and sisters kicked their feet, excitedly. Their food-filled smiles caused the maid servants to smile and giggle, while occasionally covering their mouths in a spit take, pfft.
"How adorable. So cute… They make me want one myself." One of the newer maid servants said, forgetting to hold her thoughts in.
This comment was severe for a couple of reasons. First, a comment like that would be seen as close to a direct plea to their master for impregnation, provided the individual was an unmarried woman… which was generally the situation of maid servants. Second… She was a maid servant to one of my wives, so by extension, myself.
I was about to take a sip of my drink when I stopped. "I've had to make my wives wait for something so precious. There is nothing you could offer me that would make that wish come true any time soon." I said, downing my glass.
"Huh, what…? Master, I uh… Oh… Please forgive this humble one for having such impure thoughts." The maid servant frantically stated after snapping back to reality.
"I don't consider the desire to have a child as impure. And as a maid servant there are only two men you could possibly do that with. And only one exists. I knew of this situation prior, it's why I allowed my wives to take in a limited number of maid servants." I sighed. "That said, if what you said now is truly your wish then you'll have to work for it. As you are now my energy would cause you to burst." I added.
