Su Yan walked over and placed her hands on my cheeks, gently, and smiled proudly. "You were able to refine them due to your own efforts, so don't question it. Instead, answer this; did you have some good gains this time? I know I did." She said, taking a motherly, parenting tone with me, and then kissed my forehead.
"I can't hide anything from you, mother, can I?" I smiled, with a little bit of embarrassment on my face.
"Nope, don't you know a mother sees and knows all when it comes to her children." Su Yan giggled, in an overly cute manner causing Yang Kai to have some slightly indecent thoughts. "Husband! Just for that, you better not leave me out of the plan upon our return." She said quickly, with a piercing stare.
Yang Kai recoiled slightly at this news since that instantly meant instead of a total of 12 children, he would have 24 in the future. This is due to the fact his wives wouldn't accept being left with 1 while their sister had 2. So with each and every one more Su Yan demanded, the others would also demand the same. And given that there was already a perfect example of the power one of Yang Kai's children possessed, in front of them. It would have been impossible to ask the others to stop asking for more, well, it was more like demanding or even forcing.
"Better watch out father, You're on your own when it comes to my mothers. Just like you can not go against your mother, I can not go against my mothers." I chuckled, causing everyone around to let out a few laughs.
"Since that's the case, Leiji, heh heh, my dear daughter in-laws, make sure you learn as much as you can from your mother in-laws. I fear my son will need your help in the future." Yang Kai smirked, a sly smirk.
"Don't worry Father! Even if you didn't say, we would still do." Huo Lei replied, beating her tails back and forth at incredible speed.
"Father, you do know that I was already prepared for that, right? Something a male phoenix must prepare for eventually, after all. Even if I'm only half I am still one of them. Or am I third... Hmm, that will take some more understanding first. In any case, I can now unleash the Light of Purification without any resources." I said, with a confident smirk.
"WHAT!" Everyone yelled out in unison, their shock was palpable. Though the twins just floated there giggling instead of being shocked.
"Leiji, are you certain you can do that! This is no laughing matter. Do not joke with me on this matter in the slightest. You don't have the seals from brother Huang and sister Lan." Yang Kai frantically said, grabbing both of my shoulders, with a bit more force than he realized.
"Father, I wouldn't lie about something like this. I'm not exactly certain what the limitations are, but I am positive that I can perform it. It could simply just count as my Divine Ability Manifestation but, it feels like it might be different. I was going to ask you, along with the seniors here, to verify it." I said, with a slightly painful look on my face. "Also, father, you have quite the grip there. Seems you're about to break through." I chuckled nervously.
"Oh, then go ahead and show us. Let us see the fruits of your efforts." Yang Kai said, letting go of my shoulders.
I nodded and then flew up a little above the ship. "This is going to be the first time I use this, I hope I can control it properly. Who needs to worry about it though, the sources of this power are down there. Not like they won't be able to handle it." I thought, as my eyes landed on the twins, who gave me a thumbs up.
"Since you have the okay, young master, why not go to your limit this time. It is a rare opportunity. One that might not come again." Fang Qing said, with bated breath.
"Don't worry, this will be good. My own brand of the Light of Purification." I confidently replied.
In the void, a surge of pure yin and pure yang, converged into one point. Once sufficient power had been gathered a giant brilliant light, reminiscent of the Light of Purification, but different, appeared. Its radiance broke up any darkness that permeated the void. And even shown through the gate. If someone had been outside the great territory and looked through the gate, they would also see this light of nearly absolute brilliance.
"Huh, brother, look at that, it's more complete than when we tried fusing." Moon's Nether Glimmer pointed, she was surprised.
"It really is, I wonder, is it because he is also a Divine Spirit and has not only been nurtured with our gift, but had a hidden benefit because of the crystals being of high rank..." Sun's Burning Shine murmured.
The light continued to shine with a brilliant radiance. It continued for several minutes. Anyone looking at it would know by now; "This is easily a final trump card". And then the light began to fade and floated back down to the ship's deck, landing, exhausted. "So, how did you like it, father?" I asked, breathing heavy.
"It was far more than I expected. It will be quite powerful once used against the Ink Clan, but it will have a diminished effect against anyone else. Though, you seem to be different now. I can't place it, but you have a similar air about you that brother Huang and sister Lan have." Yang Kai said, not saying much.
"Leiji, that light you just pulled off, was not a divine Ability manifestation. But a completely different power. Either way, It is safe to say no Territory lord could last the full duration of that light. And even if they did manage, they wouldn't be any stronger than a Low Rank. I highly recommend you keep this move as a hidden trump card. Or, are you able to control it more than that?" Smiles explained.
"Mother smiles, that was the absolute maximum I can release as of now. But I can indeed control it to varying degrees. Though I'd need much more practice before it would be useful for more than a last ditch effort." I said, wearily.
