Heaven's Laws - Prodigy - Chapter 65 - Part 1

“You’ll both be nearing the peak of your Realms soon,” Zan said, looking back and forth between his son and daughter-in-law. “Chao already has the required Heaven and Earth pill in his spatial ring, but it’s a rare one and is recommended to be used by a high level Sky Realm cultivator. Trying to refine it alone could be disastrous, but together, you should be able to use Dual Energy Circulation to make it work.”

They all sat in chairs facing each other in the room across the hall. This had become their customary meeting place when Zan and Quinyuan wanted to discuss something with just the two of them. The room wasn’t used for anything else, so it was sparsely decorated.

He watched as Huifen leaned over and gave Chao a quick reminder of what Dual Energy Circulation was. It seemed they both had a good memory. Since Chao cultivated Heaven and Earth Qi, this method would allow Huifen to share in the circulation of the Qi the heavenly material released. This would allow her to help regulate the amount of energy his son had to deal with.

“It’s an advanced technique, so practicing it is essential,” Quinyuan added. “Also, it’s important that Chao breakthrough first. That way he can help you, Huifen, refine the Overlord Realm Dire Beast core I told you about. I warn you though, this monster is near the peak of its Realm. It will not be an easy fight to win, and its core will be impossibly difficult to refine. But together, you’ll have to use a mix of Qi Balancing and Dual Energy Circulation to lighten its impact. These techniques required for both of your breakthroughs are much more difficult than anything you’ve tried together and their dangerous if you fail. If you succeed though they’ll have the added benefit of preparing you for refining even more powerful heavenly resources in the future.”

After the young couple left, Zan turned to Quinyuan. He could tell she was worried.

“Are you sure they’ll be ready?” She said impassively while sitting there like a bird perched on the edge of her seat.

“If they advance to their next realms? Yes,” he replied. “I won’t allow them to just settle for normal breakthroughs. Divine Realm cultivators have the advantage of a better environment and resources, so their breakthroughs often bear better results. However, just as you helped Huifen with the refinement of the Snow Fox Dire Beast Core, there are ways to not just match, but exceed what is possible there.”

Looking over to his wife, Zan scooted closer and faced her directly. “Let me finish what I started with Little Chao. His time in the mine was no accident. His Heaven and Earth cultivation offers a unique opportunity, and I can guarantee you he won’t have to go through that again. And as for Huifen, she has an opportunity that’s even more unique.”

“Explain,” Quinyuan replied with the severity of a practiced Sect Master.

“It’s simple really. Chao’s Heaven and Earth Qi will never allow his elemental martial techniques to be as potent as they would be if he were directly cultivating a specific element. But because of his Qi’s gentle nature, his inner world should be able to contain far more of it than a normal cultivator. With his ability to circulate his core at an extreme rate, I’ll be able to help him stuff his inner world with as much Qi as possible. As for Huifen, she cultivates Ice but is also proficient with the Water and Nature Laws. They’ll be a big help in the formation of an unparalleled cosmic core.”

“Mmmm.”

When Quinyuan didn’t respond with a threatening quip, he knew something was wrong. “What is it?”

“Just take care of them, Zan.”

“Little Fairy, this Realm and the Divine’s true rulers are those with the most strength. It’s time our little ones get a taste of the responsibility that comes with such power. One day, they will surpass us both, and they’ll either be naïve fools, arrogant and merciless monsters, or a couple that has become wise through countless hardships. Not letting them face those hardship could get them killed just as easily as any accident. We must let them go.”
