Selection Begins

"What war?" Another one of the masters asked, confused.

"This is exactly why I disagreed with the way my Cave Heaven Paradises did things. If it had been treated differently we could have been done with this war by now. I'll explain it like this…" Lei Jin said, diving into a deep explanation of the war with the Ink Clan and even going as far as to bring a Re-Kindled one in for them to share their experience.

The look on everyone's faces said it all. Full of shock and some even in despair. It was a look that Lei Jin all but knew would take over their mood. It was unfortunate but… it was the truth. The Cave Heaven & Paradise's had long since been created and built up together for the express purpose of fighting back against this mighty foe. Lei Jin did however refrain from explaining anything about the one singular being called "Ink". There was no need to make them even more terrified and hopeless about the situation.

"Forgive me for hiding this information. I had planned to announce it to the 3000 Worlds after I broke through." Lei Jin said, attempting to relieve their worry.

"This news… To think even my own Sect had held a grudge against the Cave Heaven & Paradises when all this time it was due to their efforts alone that we are even able to stay here and call this '3000 Worlds' our home. It's depressing. And it makes sense why the 'Cave Heaven & Paradise's' have always seemed to look at the other forces as mere children fighting over a toy or the last cookie when there is clearly another batch of cookies ready." One of the Masters sighed feeling absolutely helpless.

"Seniors, if I may say something else. It may be depressing to hear the news about the Ink Clan. However, we have Master Lei Jin! It was through his efforts and unique powers that I was cleared of the corruption. On top of that, my Small Universe is stronger than it ever was. So long as Master Lei Jin is still here. The Ink Clan will not have a good end." The Re-Kindled one said, out of turn. Though she wasn't wrong.

"Indeed, Young Pillar's power is able to neutralize this Ink Force. I wonder… Is the Young Pillar's power from a unique Physique?" One of the five masters asked.

"It is called the 'Rainbow Light Divine Body' perhaps you have heard of it." Lei Jin replied smoothly and quickly.

"DO YOU MEAN THAT! Achem… Pardon me. But did you seriously just claim to have the 'Rainbow Light Divine Body'?" One of the five asked.

"Indeed. I take it from your reaction to that just now. That you know exactly what it is." Lei Jin said, with a slight chuckle.

"Sister, what is this Divine Body? It must be special if Sister would yell in the face of our benefactor." Another one of the five said, causing the other three to giggle. While the one who spoke up smiled with a twitch.

"It is a Divine Body with immense power. It was said to be able to control fate to a high degree and rewrite the laws of Heaven and Earth. Albeit not without a cost. But the most terrifying thing is that it is 100% guaranteed to pass on to the very next generation. So when the one who bears this Divine Body appears they will naturally accumulate many lovers. Though in this case it's more a relief than anything." The one master spoke now, sitting back down and leaning against the chair. "Listen to me well my disciples, you should do everything possible to rear as many of his children as possible. With them added to the picture… I doubt anything could invade the '3000 Worlds'." She continued, with her hand holding her face, almost in complete disbelief.

"Wait, if that happens then once they grow up and are able to perform similar feats as their father… Then there would be even more of these Rainbow Residence throughout the '3000 Worlds' and my Human Race will flourish even brighter than before. Listen up my disciples Make sure you take good care of these children. It would be fair to say they are the future of the Human Race." Another one of the masters said, now also sinking into her chair.

"I do hope you can keep it a secret from others. I'd prefer not to have my plan need more reworking. I'm already busy enough as it is." Lei Jin sighed.

"Oh we will keep it a secret, in exchange would you mind doing that selection now? I'm sure our darling disciples are quite eager to find out if they fit the criteria." One of the masters giggled a little realizing that this was a good opportunity.

"Very well, Sisters, we will each make our choices. Little sister Chen Yun will go first." Qing Ning said.

Then the selection began. Chen Yun went first because she was the newest and thus got the first pick. If it were anyone else going first Chen Yun might have felt like her place as an official wife would have become unstable. So not only did it affirm her position. It also showed the other young women that while they might be chosen they will never be an official wife. It was their last chance to change their minds… At least for that reason.

"Oh, and one more thing. You will not be the only group of women we choose from. We will soon announce it to all of the '3000 Worlds' That being said, we will limit it in the future to 1 per wife per major force. Otherwise it would be far too unfair." Qing Ning added.

The face's of all of the young women brightened knowing that they were getting major special treatment. The masters of these disciples were all exasperated.

"To think if only I were a younger woman. I might have had a chance." One of them sighed.

"Ahahaha, we should just be happy that some of our disciples will be able to have such an honor." Another sighed, feeling something similar.
