Refining Demonstration

Yue Zhuo received the book with an audible gulp, in anticipation of the knowledge. This was the information her Clans Natal Dao. Any phoenix would be ripe with anticipation for such a gift. However, she didn't expect that the information in the book would make it so… "Woah, this book… It is heavy." She said, almost straining to hold it. "This is only the beginning of the Dao? Just how much more does he know? This was indeed a good idea." She thought. 

"The knowledge of the Dao is always quite heavy. But that book will help you. And it will become lighter over time. So be sure to use it wisely." Lei Jin smiled. 

"I will… One more thing, I must thank you for providing a place for my people to grow in comfort and safety. The young ones that little Xiao Ling let out last time are quite lively. And it makes my sisters and I happy to see our people prosper without the fear of losing our unhatched children." Yue Zhuo said, with a smile while hiding the pain that still lingered from losing the child she had been trying for before Lei Jin came along. 

"My goal never was to uplift the Human Race alone. It would be unfair to the efforts of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans. The loss of life that plagued the Ancient Divine Spirits before. They willingly took up the fight. While they might be guarding the No-Return pass. It's not like they haven't had their fair share of battles. It's only right to lend a hand and provide a spot for them to recover their numbers." Lei Jin said, trying to downplay his involvement. 

"Even if that is the case, without you here this would not have been possible. You have my utmost thanks and highest respect. My sisters feel the same as well." Yue Zhuo retorted, expressing her great thanks. "On another note, there is a young woman in my clan who seems to have taken a fancy to you. I hope you will consider this in the future." She added, pausing. "But for now, I'm going to get started on this. I have a lot to learn about my natal dao. I can't stay so far behind after all." She mentioned before transforming and flying off. 

"The Phoenix clan has another righteous leader. You three have done quite well. Have some of these buns. I know someone else who really loved these things. And I think you will enjoy them too. Continue to work harder in the future." Lei Jin said, patting the twins' heads. 

"Daddy! When are you going to do more Artifact refining? I want another little sibling just like me!" Xiao Ling said, pumping her fists. 

"Hmm… you really want another sibling don't you. I suppose I can do that." Lei Jin said, forming an invisible yet solid barrier around him, Xiao Ling and the twins. "Use this time to cultivate and learn about yourself. As for you two, this heat will test your mind and body at the same time. If you can't not handle it, say so and I will wrap you in my protective aura." He instructed. "This will also be a good lesson in the formation of a Small Universe. So any Emperor you have that will be breaking through soon should come to learn from it." He added, before cracking his knuckles and taking out a ton of resources. 

Azure heart and the other Old Ancestors pulled out the individuals they had been talking about last time. And 9 Emperors capable of 6th to 7th direct promotion, dozens of direct 5ths and a few hundred others that are a toss up. So almost 500 interested people were pulled out of the Small Universes to witness this event. 

"All of you are quite lucky. Not just anyone is privy to see what you will get to today. So pay attention and try to grasp something from my son-in-law's demonstration." Azure Heart instructed the group of young Emperors. 

"We will follow the goddesses orders with gratitude for the chance to see such an event from the very depths of our heart." The crowd replied in a respectful unison. 

"Good!" Lei Jin said. "Pay attention. And learn from it. Don't be afraid if you fail to understand any new information. This is only a luxury not a requirement." Lei Jin said, with a smirk and then a smile. 

Lei Jin, didn't wait for them to confirm nor deny before he began. The Fire in the small area he had blocked off caused some of the emperor's jaws to drop, in complete shock. They couldn't feel the fire. But they could tell quite simply that the situation inside the space was one that even their imaginations of hell would pale in comparison. 

Moving on, Lei Jin began crafting the Artifact Worlds, again creating 63 of them. However, this time he performed their creation simultaneously. The sheer breadth of energy that Lei Jin was using right now seemed invincible to the Emperors. However, in the eyes of the old ancestors they were admiring the sheer control of the World Force. It was nearly effortless for Lei Jin. 

"Could you do that, Sister Azure Heart?" Liang Changming asked. 

"We have formed the three directions array before. And you should know better than anyone that I can't. I don't think the fire would be unbearable alone but, dealing with that heat while refining. No way that is happening." Azure Heart said honestly. 

Some of the peak 8th ranks opened their eyes just at the right moment to see what Lei Jin was doing. The ones that were attempting to shatter the limits of their cultivation. The change in the heavens had indeed made it significantly easier than before. However, they were already at the peak of the 8th rank. And thus the chains still managed to bind them. They were the hardest part of the whole thing. 

No one but Xiao Ling and Lei Jin knew what was coming next, save one other. "It took me a while to send this message. You really have grown much stronger since I saw you." A familiar voice chuckled.
