Return To Training

"Daddy, who is this woman? She's pretty!" Ocean's Turbulent Current asked, with a child's curiosity. 

"This is one of your many grandmothers. And she is going to help you and your siblings grow." Lei Jin said, patting his youngest daughter on the head with a smile.

"I think it's going to be more of the other way around. I sensed a change not too many years ago. One that made it feel like I could go beyond the Divine Spirit level. I know not what it would be called right now. But I know for certain that it exists." Yue Zhuo said, not daring to take the compliment. She knew that having Lei Jin finish the set was a bit much. But now it was worth it. "I have already come this far. So I have to take advantage of this moment. And do my best to go beyond the Divine level… Only then will I truly have the qualifications to be of help in this battle." She thought. 

"I figured the same. I have an idea of what to call it but… It's best for a new realm to be named by the one who found and became it. So I will leave this matter up to you." Lei Jin said. 

"Don't discount yourself too much. You can still be considered at the very least a half Ancient Divine Spirit. With your abilities it would be a little insulting to not treat you as an insider. Moreover you've married my Daughter and given me a grandchild… many grandchildren. Either way you look at it, you are family and your insight will not be ignored." Yue Zhuo said, explaining that she wasn't going to push his views out. He wasn't an outsider. After all, it was because of Lei Jin that the Ancient Divine Spirits all had the chance to break through to the divine level. And he also resolved their reproductive crisis. 

"It's fine, I named my Cultivation Realm. You should do so with your own. If you ask for my opinion I will give it. But if not I will not interfere." Lei Jin said, shaking his head. "For now I hope to entrust you with my children's guidance and growth. I feel as though it's best if I have you teach them from here." He added, changing the subject. 

"You're not afraid I'm going to spoil them too much?" Yue Zhuo giggled, picking up Halcyon and Ocean. "I'm going to let them play as much as they want! So cute!" She smiled. 

"That's fine to let them play. It's what a child should do. And I know you won't spoil them either. You already have a good record in that regard." Lei Jin said. 

"Alright, then I'll take good care of them. These precious little darlings will definitely be treated well by my clan and all other clans." Yue Zhuo said, transforming into her true form. "I'll fly you 7 adorable babies over." She added. 

"WOAH! Grandma is a Phoenix! She is super pretty!" Halcyon and Ocean both said at the same time. This was indeed the first time they saw a phoenix up close. And now they get to ride on the back. It didn't take long for them to jump on and then fly away together. 

"Well, I can't blame them for being excited. They will be in good hands. Fortunately, they were taken away in time. I have to enter another deep trance and focus. There were more people who achieved the 9th rank than even I expected. So there aren't enough Artifact Worlds to go around that produce the 9th rank resources. And, it seems like I have to observe a few more things. Once the time comes for all of you to reach the 9th rank I will make the time to witness it. But for now please do what you must and take care of your own matters." Lei Jin said, feeling a sinking sadness after sending his children to play with the Ancient Divine Spirits. A similar one to the one he felt when he sent his children home before, all those years ago. 

"Don't worry Husband, with the help of us sisters, there won't be much time before we all become 9th ranks! Do Husband should take care of his matters and relax." Zi Rong said proudly. 

"Oh, Husband don't forget that Xiao Ling and Xiao Dan really do need your help. Even with all 10 of the others helping, it was still too unstable for them to advance to the rule of 4's" Ling Shi said, reminding Lei Jin of the situation. 

"I understand. Fortunately I can keep them stable while I refine more of the resource producing artifact worlds. I was planning on taking all 12 of them inside to witness this matter first hand. The four disciples I have will also benefit greatly from this." Lei Jin said, assuring his wives that the young ones would be fine. 

The women in Lei Jin's family held a special relationship between each other. All of them were considered to be the mother of all the children. And thus they were loved as such. It was truly a beautiful sight. And served as the foundation for other men to treat their multiple wives should have more than one. 

Though this treatment was a good thing. It did come with costs. Each of the women would worry for each child just the same. And thus any of the children having any struggle would bring out the worry within each wife and concubine. It was only natural to worry about one's children. Even knowing just how capable Lei Jin really was. They were still mothers, and thus couldn't help but feel that worry. It would only be quelled when the worries were actually dealt with. 

"Children, come here. I'm going to bring you inside my Inner Domain. In there I have four disciples who have something in common with you. They are also Limitless Heaven Realms like you. Unlike you, they don't have nearly as many worlds. However, you should still listen to their insights. They have their own disciples and thus have been teaching the Dao for many centuries now. It will definitely prove useful to you." Lei Jin said, and then the 12 Artifact Domain Spirits disappeared from the outside world, appearing in Lei Jin's Inner Domain.
