"I went to make sure that some trouble will not suddenly manifest before you grow up,

" replied Wu Hong.

Wang Wei pondered for a moment,

"Trouble? Besides Di Tian, I do not have any troubles. Did you beat him up?

"

"I'm not talking about him.

"

"Then, what are you talking about it? Or is it some kind of secret that you cannot tell me?.

"

"It's not that serious,

" replied Wu Hong.

"I've been going around further strengthen the seals of the Forbidden Lands, make sure that none of these things came out to cause trouble.

"

Wang Wei frowned,

"Are they going to be a problem?

"

"After you become an Eternal Emperor, the majority of them will not be. However, the Nether Hell is different, so you have to be extremely careful as he already noticed your Paragon Soul. However, I used my Innate Talent to place an Absolute Seal there, so it should be fine for some time.

"

Wang Wei nodded, then asked;

"Couldn't you deal with them?

"

Wu Hong turned around to look him in the eyes,

"If you want me to, I will. Although I would pay a steep price, I don't mind. However, do you really want me to clean your mess for you?

"

"Forget it. I still have some pride left. I'll deal with them myself when the time comes.

"

"That's more like it,

" said Wu Hong as she kissed him.

"By the way, what price would you pay exactly?

"

"You would never see me again--at least until you become an Emperor and leave this world.

"

"Don't say such scary things,

" said Wang Wei quickly, as he wrapped his arms around her, hugging her tightly as if he would never let go, for all eternity.

After spending some time with her, Wang Wei then entered seclusion once again. With a wave of his hand, three different piles floated in front of him.

One part was Lin Fan's arms, legs, and head. Another was his heart, and the last one a strange red seed. He took out a cauldron and placed the body parts inside, then a white flame appeared in his hand; he begin to purify Lin Fan's body.

A few days later, Wang Wei opened the lid of the cauldron. Inside of it was a black floating orb. Nodding in satisfaction, he removed the orb and placed Lin Fan's heart inside. Just like he previously did with the body parts, he purified the heart.

However, the finished product was not a floating orb, but a transparent heart with a strange and mysterious qi flowing inside.

Wang Wei took at the heart, the black orb, and red seed placed them in front of him.

"With a Chaos Fragment of Law, a heart imbued with Chaos Qi, and an Emperor Tier Fire Seed, I should be able to create a pseudo-Chaos Fire that is on par if not greater than any Innate Fire Material.

"

After that, Wang Wei activated a formation; this formation was similar to the one he used to create his Heavenly Physique but was modified slightly to fit the occasion.

He also took out a few mountain size Origin Source as energy. However, Wang Wei still noticed that the process was rather slow, so he continued to add mountain worth of origin source. Anyway, he had mines of these things.

Three months later, the process finally ended.

In front of Wang Wei appeared a translucent flame; to be precise, this flame appeared that way only when people glance normally at it. However, if they focused, they would see that the flame is constantly changing color: for a moment, it was red, then it instantly change to green, to blue--the process seemed eternal and infinite.

"It seems that I succeeded,

" muttered Wang Wei.

"This flame looked exactly like the one the Flame Emperor was famous for. However, I'm luckier than him. To cultivate his Chaos Flame, he had to fuse countless Origin Flames, while I only needed two Emperor Tier materials and Chaos Law Fragment.

"

Of course, Wang Wei knew that his flame was nowhere near as powerful as the Flame Emperor. Nevertheless, he still had room to grow.

Wang Wei grabbed the Chaos Flame and absorbed it into his heart. The process was easy and instant.

Immediately afterward, five colors of green, yellow, red, white, and dark blue appeared in front of him, they turned into a perfect circle before entering Wang Wei's body.

Then, he felt all his organs promoting and restricting one another, in perfect harmony.

"What a great feeling,

" muttered Wang Wei, to the point of almost moaning.

"I feel complete...liberated.

"

He then checked the Orifice connected to his heart organ, and he saw that the Gate was glowing with the same intensity as the others. This fact made Wang Wei very happy as this meant that his Chaos Flame had the same quality as his other Innate Materials.

"Luckily, this plan works, otherwise, I would have to activate my ability to become a Son of Destiny. Before I figure out the issue of Heavenly Dao, I will not use it lightly.

"

Wang Wei clenched his hand, causing the space around him to break. As he felt the few trillions or more of pure physical strenght of his fleshly body, he suddenly had an impulse.

So, he followed it and went to challenge his father.

A few hours later, Wang Wei returned to his mountain. There, he saw Wu Hong waiting for him with a smirk on her face.

"So, how bad did you lose?

" she asked while looking at her Dao Companion's pale face.

"I did not even make it past 10 swords strike,

" replied Wang Wei with gritted teeth.

"This bastard did not even go easy on me. If it was not for my new ability I awakened after tempering my organs, I would probably not survive more than 5 swords.

"

"You got what you deserve. Didn't grandfather tell you that father-in-law once survived under his attacks for an entire day?

"

"I didn't think that this was an impressive feat. After all, I'm used to fighting realms above myself.

"

Wu Hong shook his head,

"The difference between Saint Realm and Supreme Realm is far greater than you can imagine. There is a reason that True Monarchs are referred to as being closest to the Dao.

"Additionally, grandfather is a Quasi-Emperor and not an ordinary one at that. So, you can imagine the battle strength of father-in-law.

"

Wang Wei sighed as he knew that not only did he let his newfound strength go to his head, but also underestimated his old man; this was probably the reason that Wang Tian beat him so hard, to put him back in his place and remind him to stay grounded.

With his current strength, he could probably wipe the floor with Bai Han. But he lost so easily against his father. Wang Wei has to admit that the level of respect he has for the old man rose quite a bit after this fight.

"Anyway. One day, I will dominate that old man and make his status in the family the absolute lowest,

" said Wang Wei.

"However, before that, I will take my revenge.

"

Taking a talisman from his ring, he contacted someone.

"Mother, father beat me up.

"

"What? What's going on?

" asked Yu Yan.

"I was minding my own business when he suddenly call me to have a spar, then he used all his strength to beat me up. I swear he was trying to kill me. You have to avenge your only son.

"

"He dares?

" roared Yu Yan from the other side of the talisman.

"Don't worry, I'll deal with him myself. As for you, I will prepare a healing bath for you at home, so come by.

"

"No problem.

"

Wang Wei smirked after cutting the communication. As for Wu Hong, she just secretly prayed for her father-in-law.

…

Back a few months ago after the battle, Lin Fan laid alone on top of a Pavilion, drinking wine; he seemed to want to drink his sorrow away.

Soon, he heard footsteps approaching him. Despite not looking back, he could recognize who it was.

"What is it, Shi'er?

"

"I just wanted to make sure you were okay,

" replied Xi Shi.

"I'm not as fragile as you'd think. To be honest, I expected to lose the fight, just did not expect to lose so badly.

"

Xi Shi nodded her head, then sat next to him, but she did not say anything; she just took her zither to play a calming tune.

"I never expected the gap between us to be so vast. He and Di Tian are truly on another level.

"

One secret that only the Academy knew was the fact that Lin Fan also challenged Di Tian, and he was defeated in just one punch. That failure almost broke him. Luckily, he managed to get over it and sublimated his mind and Dao Heart in the process.

"Husband, since the failure of this battle did not affect you much, why are you sulking?

"

"I'm not sulking. I'm pondering on how to decrease the gap between these two. Honestly speaking, I do not think that the Academy's method will be of much use. I need some extreme measures.

"

Then, the two fell silent with only the sound of music riveting in the surrounding. Then, Xi Shi suddenly stopped and said:

"There may be a way!

"
