Yang Kai couldn't help but let a small, yet powerfully meaningful smile show on his face when he heard Su Yan's words. He was upset, but not entirely, in reality the only one he should be upset with is himself, after all, he was the one that forcibly suppressed his own feelings, thus driving metaphorical daggers into the hearts of many women. And then he immediately realized... "Betrothal gifts, I wonder..." Yang Kai thought as his eyes wandered towards me.
"Father, I'm certain I don't have to tell you, since you, of all people aside from myself, know just how much work actually goes into making an entire city's water and waste system. Not to mention training the cultivators to perform the proper tasks to manage the system after it has been built. Besides, that would be a gift to city lords, and not the place of which you seem to be thinking." I explained.
"I see, then I won't suggest that, but what about the other thing?" Yang Kai asked, raising his brow, clearly telling me I needed to give a proper answer.
"For starters, I was already planning on performing that task in a few days from now. Though, I do suppose that we could bump up the schedule for them. However, that would hardly justify enough of a gift. Other than that, you should think of the proper gifts for yourself. Though I think you'll be fine given what I know you can do." I said, and passed along the rest of the communication through the connection we had.
"That, is a hell of a gift, son. I thought you wanted to keep that a secret for a bit longer. Questions will surely arise from information like that." Yang Kai said in a half shocked tone.
"It's alright, the questions were bound to come eventually anyways. But it doesn't matter. And on top of that we must give a gift that reflects both the position and feelings held between you and the women you're marrying. Since all three of them are princesses of their families only a gift of royal size would be acceptable. However," I said, explaining the thought process until I was cut off.
"However, we are not just acceptable. We are exceptional. And so we must also reflect that as well." Yang Kai sighed, and stopped talking for a moment before letting out a sigh. "Since the ladies gathered here either have desire for you or myself I'll just go ahead and announce this information." He added, looking at me, and waited for my nod. "The Open Heaven Realm's restriction is a lie. It bounds only those who do not wield the power of fate itself. I have been experimenting with this method for several years now, technically decades. And while I may not have reached my perceived natural limit, I can tell that once I break through, I will not have any chains restricting my growth. I will present my understanding and comprehensions of this to each family. However, I must request that you use this information wisely." He declared, showing an incredible amount of resolve.
The jaws of everyone aside from the Yang family, dropped in shock. Such a revelation was no small thing, and it was more than enough to completely shake the foundations of the entire world of cultivation. Like, what level of power would someone who controls the essence of fate, be in? Is such a power even possible to cultivate?
"You know what, that surprisingly makes so much sense that I am shocked we never discovered it before. Are there any limits to it?" Heaven's Revelations Great Emperor asked, stroking his beard.
"I know that at the very least it is a power beyond world force, enough of a gap in fact, that it would take the entire collective might of the 3000 Worlds, to even have a chance at standing against a foe that has mastered this power." I explained, sipping my tea, and also making myself the center of attention in the process.
"That is, wait a minute, all of the cultivators in the 3000 Worlds, how exactly do you know that? Even with as strong as you are that shouldn't be something just anyone could figure out." Heaven's Revelations Great Emperor asked curiously.
"First, allow me to correct a misunderstanding Martial Uncle, But I never said, the collective cultivators, I said the 3000 Worlds, meaning every single tiniest bit of power that exists, and even then, there wouldn't be much chance to do anything." I elaborated, and looked as the color from everyone's faces drained away. "As for how I know this information, you can thank the one who was in charge of the memory wiping in the cycle of reincarnation. That is, thank them for being new, and failing to erase all of my previous life's memories." I explained, which seemed to only add to the mystic that others saw me in.
"Are you positive that this is the case? You know that anyone who doesn't have their memories completely erased will be watched closely by the King of Hell. And their deaths, well, they won't be a great experience." Heaven's Revelations Great Emperor spoke, with nervousness and worry in his voice.
"Hmm, perhaps that was who I felt looking in on my life from time to time. Though I doubt the king of hell would have those kinds of emotions towards me. So perhaps it was someone else hiding. And as far as the death thing goes, as long as a certain enemy exists there is always a chance for that kind of fate. A shame, but it's fine, it doesn't matter what ends up taking me down, their fate will definitely be several times more gruesome and punishing." I smirked. "Besides, I survived a territory lord's attack while I was only a 3rd order emperor, it's going to take quite a significant force to put me down. Though, I do hope I got rid of those curses the idiot villains I've killed, placed on me." I chuckled.
"I'm impressed, you let me say such a declaration, now you have no choice but to marry the ladies who still can't take their eyes off you." Yang Kai snickered, happily.
