"You are not telling lies are you, young man?" Army Commander Zhong Liang said after calming down a bit and stopped shaking me.
"Ow… everything is spinning." I said, shaking my head to regain my composure. "Yes, I saw how that Universe World was created. And how it grew. And quite frankly from what I understand of the Open Heaven Method… well… I think it's faster just to show Martial grandpa reach your own conclusion." I said, holding my head in pain. And sending him a copy of the information over to him.
A short moment of comprehension later Zhong Liang sighed. "If I had seen this before I broke through I might have been able to achieve the 9th rank in this life." He lamented momentarily.
"Martial Uncle doesn't need to be so upset. Such things were only found through a connection with a World Spirit. A full connection. One even a Great Emperor would be hard pressed to imitate even working in a group." Bai Yi said, inspecting my condition after that shaking. "By the way, what was so serious you shook my little Leiji like that?" She added with that look again.
"Uh, That… that was a momentary lapse in judgment… it won't happen again." Zhong Liang said, now understanding the sheer fear that look puts into someone. "Talk about terrifying" he sighed in his heart.
"Good! Because I almost hit Martial Uncle in anger." Feng Ying said, with a balled fist.
"Anyways… Can someone explain to me what all of those materials down there are for? I would have expected it to be picked clean by now. But, I don't see many others around anymore. Are they just too far away for me to see right now?" I pondered activating my Heavenly Eyes. "Oh, most of them left to work on another Universe World." I added.
"These materials were technically mined by your hand and thus they are yours to do with what you wish." Zhong Liang stated, calmly recovering from the freight he had just now.
"In that case I'll just hold onto them for now. I can't make use of most of them for now but I'm sure that I'll find uses for them later. Perhaps I can use them to help construct that village some more?" I said, and with a wave of my hand the materials all came towards me and separated into different stacks sorted by rank and element.
"Well, are you done here? Or is there something else you'd like to do? There are other Universe Worlds over there." Yang Kai joked, knowing that I would refuse.
"Father, you must be joking. Even I need a little time to get accustomed to this strength before I continue any higher. Otherwise I might ruin such a great chance that was given to me this time. I think it's for the best if I deal with 'Evil Shadow Sect' first before anything else. But I can promise I will get much stronger. Who knows we may want to come up with a special attack just in case." I chuckled, hinting towards something.
"I'll send you back now. Make sure to finish that sludge up quickly. Don't make your mothers wait too long to smother you. I might suffocate in your place if that happens." Yang Kai said.
"Then let us smother him now. We can go do…" Bai Yi suggested until she saw that look on my face.
"No! You will not intervene in my vengeance. It's dangerous to get in the way of a Dragon's Ire. Even my own father hasn't done so. He knows what this boiling rage feels like. And there is simply nothing that even comes close." I said, with a look of disdain that seemed to look through Bai Yi.
"We just worry about your safety, Leiji. Don't blame us so hard." Feng Ying said, grabbing my face and molding it into a smile. "We love you so we can't help it." She smiled.
"I won't let you go! Not until I know exactly how strong you are now. It would be wrong of me to let you go without judging your strength. You're going to be fighting Emperor Realms and worst case Half-Open Heavens. Come and pass the test first." Bai Yi shouted, making a demand that even Yang Kai hadn't thought of.
"That is a good idea. Leiji pass your mothers test and I'll open the door. I find it a reasonable request." Yang Kai said, crossing his arms.
"As you command father." I said, getting ready for the challenge that was to come…
~~Star Boundary~~
All the Great Emperors gathered to have an important discussion. It was quite as they couldn't find the right words to open with. Until…
"You all felt that? Right?" Flower Shadow Great Emperor asked, with a difficult look on her face.
"Indeed." The others all said.
"I wonder if Void did something?" Martial Beast Great Emperor pondered.
"What do you think, Heavens Revelation?" Iron Blood Great Emperor asked, unable to think of anything himself.
"I feel there is a change though I am unable to say what it is. I am able to say it is a good thing. Look forward to the brilliant display in the future." Heavens Revelation Great Emperor commented with a pleasant smile.
"Then I guess we will leave it at that." Serene Soul Great Emperor sighed.
~~Inside Void World~~
A portal appeared in front of the Thunder Temple. The women that had been relaxing outside enjoying the fresh air and talking about names for their babies once the time comes. They saw this portal and knew it was either going to be their Young Master or his father. So they tensed up slightly and then relaxed remembering that the Young Master is a very calm person.
Just then when they started giggling about it I stepped through beaten bruised and ragged. As if I fought through hell dozens of times and am completely sick of it. The gossip stopped.
"Oh… uh, don't worry about this… My parents just put me through some harsh tests. I'd rather not speak of them. I may look broken but I'm just tired. Where is…" I said, and then my face was covered by a very familiar stomach.
"Husband your back! Let's go take a bath together." Huo Lei said, holding me as tight as she could and beating the air with her tails far more vigorously than before.
