While we all watched the managers' discussion with Ma Fan, my wives snuggling up next to me kept eyeing the babies around the room. Since I could sense the things they felt, I knew without a doubt that their maternal instincts were kicking into high gear.
"Not much longer. But we still need to hold off until then. As much as it pains me." I said softly, reassuring my wives.
"It still won't be for a while yet. Sisters need to break through to the open heaven realm first." Chi Qiu mentioned, with her voice all emotional. "We need to stop getting distracted by other things and have everyone cultivate." She added, explaining the problem.
"True, all of you did agree to wait until the open heaven realm. Hmm, I wish I could help you along with your cultivation more. Unfortunately anymore aid and it could lead to unforeseen consequences." I sighed, holding Huo Lei and Xiu Che close.
"Why don't you give them something that mimics crystals and other forms of energy? I'm sure if the worry about running out of resources to use for cultivation was eliminated, that should solve several issues." Martial Beast Greta Emperor proposed, not thinking too much about it, only remembering that I had weird abilities, and he figured it would be in my wheelhouse.
I sort of chuckled a bit for a moment. "You're right. I could do that. But, I was able to do that thing so easily because of my previous location. It's not so easy to risk damaging the 300 Worlds in the process. Especially not for something that ultimately isn't mandatory. If we were surrounded by the Ink Force… That would be another thing entirely. As I have no qualms with purifying that stuff." I explained after a moment.
"I admittedly was also thinking along those lines. And was curious why you didn't give these beautiful daughter in-laws that ball of pure energy you had given us before." Bai Yi mentioned, shifting along her long seat. A long seat being expressly designed so women can lay on their side while cradling their children. It was meant to be an incredibly comfortable piece of furniture.
"Mother, I gave you that at that time because I couldn't handle absorbing anymore at that time. It was also enough energy that it even affected your cultivation. Such an amount would be devastating for Emperor realms." I explained. "Though, I guess I could do something else now that I think of it… Huo Lei, do you want to try this idea first? Whenever you're ready." I added, thinking about a rather crazy idea.
Huo Lei began immediately. She began refining energy directly from the world at a rate that put even the greatest energy dense crystals to utter shame. She, of course, began sweating a little before stopping. "Husband, it works, though I'm not sure I like that amount of energy so fast. And I… I'd like some monster Qi too…" She said, flushed in the face.
"Hmm, that shouldn't be an issue anymore. But let's not try it again so quickly. I'm just glad it worked. I was curious what to do with all of this extra unstable energy I have." I said, and then gave Huo Lei a rather nice kiss.
"Wait? Young Master Yang, don't you need that power for yourself? And how are you giving it to them?" Li Wu Yi asked immediately, shocked as he noticed the importance of what he just saw.
"Ahahaha! Senior Li, I am strong enough to be counted as one of if not the strongest currently living cultivator. Part of that is due to my ability to replenish an absolutely gargantuan amount of energy, instantly. And do it from nothing other than simply existing." I laughed for a moment. "Besides, this much isn't enough to change the outcome of my future battle. And I must admit, I'd like to see my own offspring someday, the sooner the better…" I added, making it abundantly clear where I stood on this matter.
However, as I finished speaking, I got a message… One from someone extremely far away. My wives sensed the change in my state of mind, subsequently letting go of me.
"Son, what was that just now?" Yang Kai asked, immediately sensing something was very off.
"Father, there's no more time to waste… I am going to order the finding of the other 12 columns immediately. This should be an all hands on deck…" I answered, with a suddenly grim expression.
"Is it that one matter?" Yang Kai asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Father, you take those three and deal with that particular situation. Use this to seal all of their Ink Force in this." I said, floating a violently thundering crystal shell to Yang Kai. "Mother Smiles, you still have that item I gave you before. If anything goes wrong, use it. Managers accept that deal as it is. It is fine. We have other priorities now. Find every able bodied cultivator. Heaven Devourer prepare yourself, for when I come back, I'm sending you to meet Cang." I continued explaining, as I gave orders.
"I take it, this also means the Divine Spirits need to move more quickly as well… Are you taking care of that?" Yang Kai asked.
"I'm going to perform a surgery on that world first, bring the piece over to the spatial territory and then breakthrough there. And when I return I expect that the remaining 12 columns will have been found. Senior World Tree you'd better be helping out too! I know it was you who helped Cang send that message to me." I added.
Some were shocked at my brazenness to give an order to such an ancient being. However, they were more shocked when the tree responded.
"Of course, with the laws and medicines you've made, my strength was enough to reconnect with that old root of mine. I can even help send Shi's reincarnation there when the time comes." World Tree senior answered. "Now then, it seems that only a nevermind, you got that one already. Then hmm, 2 are within Yin-Yang Heaven's territories, 5 in Luo Sheng Cave Heaven's territories, and 4 in the Azure Void Cave Heaven's territories. I don't think they've located them yet though, they are rather well hidden." He announced, further adding to the confusion.
"Send for the representative elders, and inform them of the matter." I ordered quickly. "As for everything else, my Father will take care of or delegate." I added, preparing for a long teleport.
