Yan Wenjing panicked, “T-this is the Sun?”
“Correct.”
Li Mo nodded.
“Impossible! If this is the Sun, w-why are we still alive? We should’ve been ashes by now!“
“If the Transfer was off by even one degree, we would’ve. But with the coordinates genuine, you and me are standing on Searing Planet’s one and only possible place for our survival.
“This is the first stop in my cultivation.”
The two walked for ten miles and a sudden curtain flashed, scaring the hell out of Yan Wenjing.
Towering red flames seemed to be held back by something. The reddish soil and the inferno in front seemed like two completely different worlds.
“That is the Sun’s true fire. With our cultivation, the slightest touch would pulverize us.”
“W-we should go back. This place is a sauna.”
Yan Wenjing was so keyed up she forgot about calling him daddy. She was sweating so hard that it was hard to tell if it was from the heat or fear.
Despite one place having the Sun’s true fire and the other not, there really was no difference in temperature.
Li Mo took out God Prison and made a sign before throwing it into the flames.
Li Mo decided to let the Zhuge brothers out on earth before coming to Searing Planet to refine it.
He threw Zhou Mengxian’s Rainbow Immortal Swords as well and dozens of other rare ingredients.
These ingredients came from the ancient battleground. He’d collected so many in his stay there and was now time to complete the God Prison.
Whoosh~
As Li Mo threw an endless string of ingredients, he was soon soaked in sweat. Refining was most taxing to one’s mind, as Li Mo poured every ounce of true qi he had into the God Prison.
Yan Wenjing asked worried, “Daddy, are you refining?”
Li Mo nodded.
“I heard refining needs one’s entire energy, that a refiner must be completely invested in the process and not spare any attention to distractions or it would not only fail, the refiner will also receive a backlash, possibly leading to even one’s soul destroyed.”
Li Mo nodded.
Yan Wenjing smiled, “Worry not, daddy, I am on your side now. Just say the word and I will do it. My loyalty is second to none. I’d never ever attack you on the sly.”
Li Mo closed his eyes.
“I’ll be your Dao protector, daddy.”
Yan Wenjing took on her role in ‘earnest’.
“There has not been a living being on Searing Planet for as early as a hundred thousand years ago. You don’t need to fake it.”
“Then good luck. I’ll go take a nap.” Yan Wenjing’s face changed.
Li Mo threw his all into manipulating the Sun’s true fire to refine God Prison.
If not for Li Mo knowing the Pyrokinesis, he wouldn’t be able to refine it even if he got here. It all rested on this art to control the Sun’s true fire.
The Sun’s true fire bore down on Li Mo at every second, it constantly broke down the God Prison then fuse it back again. With every cycle of destruction and reconstruction, the God Prison grew smaller and smaller while its hardness rose.
A week flashed by and Li Mo became skin and bones. And yet he was relentless in refining, never resting in pushing his true qi into the God Prison.
“Such a massive amount of spiritual qi is mind boggling. No wonder you look down on Zhou Mengxian. Not even ten of him will make a difference against you.”
Yan Wenjing was shocked and awed by Li Mo’s power.
Li Mo didn’t look too good at this point, but not once did she entertain the idea of betraying him. She had always ‘respected’ him.
Every seven days Li Mo would take a short rest before resuming work. Time was passing by swiftly and 49 days came and went.
When Li Mo retrieved the God Prison from the Sun’s true fire, it had undergone a fundamental transformation.
The matted black surface was now glinting in the Sun’s true flames. The God Prison was now smaller by half, while a hundred times tougher.
“Well done, daddy. You refined a sacred item!” Yan Wenjing cheered.
“This is but the first step. I have a long way to go to complete it.”
Li Mo put the God Prison away and stored some of the Sun’s true fire into a hundred empty jade talismans.
Yan Wenjing said, “Sun’s true fire talisman! So daddy isn’t just an awesome refiner, but a grandmaster talisman maker. There’s no way Zhou Mengxian can do this.”
“Yan Wenjing, Zhou Mengxian was still your master. You keep talking about him so casually while always addressing me as daddy. Is your face not thick enough?”
Yan Wenjing said, “Zhou Mengxian only saw me as a tool. I never respected him. I only obeyed him because of fear and nothing else.
“When I was still ignorant, Zhou Mengxian picked me for somewhere and raised me. But I can tell that with his character, there’s no way I’m an orphan. Perhaps he killed my parents and kidnapped me.
“He didn’t raise me because he cared, but for my Rejuvenating Physique. When I was 13, he wanted to sleep with me. I was fortunate he is so old and his thing no longer works.”
“Would you respect him if you were me instead?” Yan Wenjing asked.
“No. But is this your way of respecting me, by calling me daddy?”
“No, right now I only feel fear towards you. I call you this to show you I am different from others.”
Li Mo was stunned.
“There’s no need to fear me…”
“If you were a tiger, you think I’d believe anything you say?”
“You are stronger than me and can talk to me like that. My life is in your hands. You can make me do anything I don’t want to. In other words, my fate is entirely up to you.
“I’m not foolish…”
Li Mo was shell-shocked.
Li Mo took out some top earth qi jade, getting ready to use fixed Transfer.
When using long distance Transfer, a spiritual root wasn’t enough, it had to be supplied with plenty of earth qi jades.
“Are we leaving?”
Li Mo nodded.
“Next stop, Heavenly Lightning Planet!”
Hum~
Spiritual qi surrounded them and were gone the next second.
Boom~
Yan Wenjing couldn’t even make sense of where she was as her ears were rattled by the thunderous lightning strikes.
