“Grandfathers, can you reserve two slots for me?” Bing Huoyuan said.
Elder Bing sent a glare toward Bing Huoyuan. “Do you think that as a half-retired immortal elder, I would have such clout? For true immortals like me, the current Demon Slaying Expedition isn’t that important. But with the seclusion of the demon race with the divine beasts, materials that were common thousands of years ago are no longer common. Now the largest source of demon resources is the Demon Cage Realm controlled by the Buzhou Immortal Sect. For this chance, many nascent soul grandmasters and above will fight tooth and nail. What makes you think that I will help you take a slot for that outsider girl?”
“I never said it was for Ningwei.” Bing Huoyuan mumbled, averting his eyes.
“Stinky brat, I remember personally changing your diapers. Do you think I would not understand your little thoughts?” Elder Bing rebuked, causing Bing Huoyuan to shrink even more. “And there is a high chance that lass won’t come. With her natural talent, why would the Bright Ascension Sect waste a slot for her?”
“Lai Erchu will definitely fight for a spot for Weiwei! And Weiwei simply needs a chance to shine. Her talent and heart aren’t any worse than me.” Bing Huoyuan decisively said.
Elder Bing slapped Bing Huoyuan’s head. “Stinky brat, only a nascent soul grandmaster, and you already know how to take back to your old man!?”
Bing Huoyuan shrunk his shoulders together. But he quickly straightened them and stared straight at his grandfather. Elder Being glared back as he stroked his beard with perhaps a bit too much force as there were audible snapping sounds and several long beard hair falling onto the ground.
“Fine, fine.” Elder Bing relented first, causing a sunshine-like smile to appear on Bing Huoyuan’s face. Elder Bing felt a vein nearly pop. Unable to control himself, he slapped Bing Huoyuan’s head once more. Finally, Elder Bing sighed as he looked at Bing Huoyuan with a severe expression. “Yuan’er, I know your thoughts toward the lass, Bai Weiwei. For our alliance with the Bright Ascension Sect, what do you say I include her as part of it? As your wife or Dao companion.”
It was as if lightning had struck Bing Huoyuan. An expression of delight flashed across his face before it quickly turned to bitterness. “Forget it, forget it. I don’t seek to spend the rest of my life with her. I only wish for her to be happy.”
“Time after time, you aided her, but has she given anything in return? Don’t say that you don’t require anything from her. A relationship is a two-way street. If only one person gives, can that still be called a relationship?”
“If she gives me anything in return, I’m afraid that it will affect her relationship with Lai Erchu. It’s better that she doesn’t. Besides, I’m willing.” Bing Huoyuan said.
“Yuan’er, you are the only family I have left. I hope you can attain immortality and happiness. If this continues, I’m afraid that you might develop an inner demon concerning that Bai Weiwei, and your immortal ascension will be at risk.” Elder Bing said. “Besides, do you really only wish to stand quietly and protect from behind? Yuan’er, the alliance with the Bright Ascension Sect is your greatest advantage, don’t lose this chance.”
On a more serious note, Tianyi felt that he didn’t really need any artifacts at all. His body was already tougher and stronger than artifacts of the same realm. So aside from miscellaneous functions, battle types artifacts were unneeded for Tianyi.
Tianyi could always use his embryonic clone souls to create new clones. He wouldn’t mind having a few more clones, but he didn’t want to create a clone arbitrarily. His first clone was created using the womb of a demon fox and cultivated Sovereign Suiren’s Primogenitor Flame Scripture, while his second clone was created from the Dragon Emperor’s blood essence and cultivated the Dragon Emperor Fist. Each clone was special and had immense potential, even compared to the geniuses of first-rate sects.
Now that he thought about it. He used the womb of a demon fox which had intelligence equal to humans. It kind of felt like he used the womb of a human. The same situation with the Dragon Emperor’s blood essence, although Tianyi wouldn’t mind personally extracting more blood essence from the Dragon Emperor out of spite.
Using the womb of a creature to cultivate his clone, Tianyi felt goosebumps just thinking about it. When did he change? Was it due to his lessening memories of Earth, or did he purposely ignore it because he wanted to discover Dong Chifan’s origin? He decided not to think about it any longer. Tianyi discovered that he couldn’t care less when he felt that his life was in danger. He’ll care about morals when he is strong enough to protect himself.
Tianyi sighed and placed the black jade bottle inside his spatial ring. He had asked his mother to modify his spatial ring. Right now, encrusted on his spatial ring were three jewels. Including the ring itself and the three jewels, each had its own space for Tianyi to store his belongings, making it easier to organize. He had tried wearing numerous spatial rings, but it just looked too gaudy for Tianyi’s taste.
Walking down from the Temporal Void Domain’s second floor, Tianyi saw Xi Ri cultivating on the first floor. Tianyi didn’t bat an eye at it. He had gotten used to Xi Ri popping up when he wasn’t busy with his duties as a disciple of Assignment Hall. Just as Tianyi was about to walk out of the Temporal Void Domain, he snapped his head back.
He could detect the different aura on Xi Ri. “Old Cousin Ri, you’ve transcended your Core Formation Heavenly Tribulation?”
Xi Ri opened his eyes and showed a pleased expression. “I’ve managed to enter the Core Formation Realm a few days ago.”
“Why didn’t you tell me? I could have gone and supported you.” Tianyi asked with his brows furrowed.
“It’s not a big deal. My master was there for me in case anything happened.” Xi Ri said, unconcerned.
“Older Cousin Ri, no Xi Ri,” Tianyi said as he sat down in front of Xi Ri. “You got to tell your friends when you undergo your heavenly tribulation. It’s a major affair, and we want to be there to support you. Just because you think it is nothing doesn’t mean you should not tell us.”
“I really don’t think it’s anything important. Compared to entering the Core Formation Realm, I’m more nervous about the Xiyi Talismans. We haven’t made progress in a long time. And the formation cards are becoming more popular. Soon I’ll have to expand the scope of manufacturing them.” Xi Ri said.
This time, Tianyi averted his eyes. “I’ve been busy with cultivation. A problem cropped up, and I can’t settle down to research anything.”
After speaking for a few more moments, Tianyi bid farewell. But not before reminding Xi Ri that he had to tell them when he was undergoing the heavenly tribulations.
