Tying Up Loose Ends

The phoenix clan ladies looked at each other a little confused. "Will the Supreme Master Lei Jin, enlighten this one? What is it that has happened to my source? I am quite worried that it might be something bad. Will I… Will I be alright?" The one phoenix lady said, stammering slightly. She was a bit confused about the situation. 

"You don't need to worry about your source. But you have some required reading to do." Lei Jin said, tossing over a jade scroll to the lady. "Use your divine sense and begin studying that material. I would just share my insights directly but if I did I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to handle them." He continued.

Catching the scroll the woman propped it thinking; "What is it that he is being so mysterious about? What is…". A pause in her thought process as she remained shocked at the revelation she just had. "The Supreme Master really is capable of performing the same feat as those 3. To think I would be able to perfect my source without the help of Moon's Nether Glimmer and Sun's Burning Shine, nor the Great Parasol… Tree… Supreme Master Lei Jin, is the thing you want to do… possibly?" She asked, now invigorated with new hope. 

"Currently I have no plans to do such a thing. And even if I did, I don't think my brand of power alone is sufficient. You must remember the thing you're thinking of is capable of breathing life to new phoenixes from nothing but pure power. And while my strength is significant. I still require the bond of man and woman to generate such results." Lei Jin calmly stated, raising his hand to dismiss the thought. "For now you should focus on adapting yourself to your new pure phoenix source. As for the others… It seems they may not take much longer than you did, perhaps a few more weeks." He continued. 

"This gift… I don't know how I could possibly repay such a great gift." The phoenix woman said, tearing up. "To have a chance at reaching the Divine Phoenix realm is a gift I will never forget." She continued, wiping away happy tears. 

"It's not something you must consider paying back. After all, it wouldn't be easy for you to pay something of equal value in return." Lei Jin with a light chuckle, trying to wave it off as simple magnanimousness. "You are here to help already, this is enough." He added. 

"Simply learning how to deliver human babies is not enough to repay the weight of this generosity. Is there anything I can do to honor such kindness?" The woman pleaded.

"Fine, if you really can't accept it willingly there is one thing I must ask from you." Lei Jin sighed, slightly annoyed. "Find yourself a man, and be diligent about it. I am here in this world not to simply have my human race dominate the heavens. I would not have a significant number of the abilities I do currently if this was the case. Rather my mission is and always has been to restore the brilliance of this world's life. And destroy that pestilence of evil once and for all." He continued. "So if you simply procreate with your chosen man, diligently this is enough." He added, with a calm and serious look on his face, indicating that other than what he said, there was nothing else he needed. 

"Then when I return, I'll request to the Divine Phoenix sisters to hold the husband catching games. Surely with such an event taking place we can help speed that request along. I for one am quite excited to see which men are bold enough to step forward this time." The Phoenix clan woman said, with an interesting look on her face. 

"Ahahaha! I bet that will be an interesting event to see. A matriarch clan truly has some interesting ideas." Lei Jin laughed. "Alright everyone, return to cultivating. I have a few things to take care of in my Inner Domain. If something serious happens with anyone, I'll lend aid at once so don't worry and just enjoy the cultivation paradise." Lei Jin said, re-assuming the Lotus position and hovering in the center of the room. 

~~Several Years Later On Azure Void's Flagship~~

Numerous parents gathered to give their children a proper goodbye. Why? Well Lei Jin's Children were now going to leave the Giant Restriction Lei Jin had put up. They would be accompanied by 2 9th ranks, 6 8th ranks, 50 7th ranks and 100 5-6th ranks. All were willing participants in this mission. Entrusted with the safety of returning the most powerful man's children home. 

Since this was the case other parents decided to send their children as well. Though as a result of the timing many of the guards that were sent were parents to unborn children. This way when the women eventually gave birth there wouldn't be a need to send another group of people away. With the seven ships ready to set out for Azure Void Cave Heaven, one woman was a little timid. 

"I had given birth to my first child here. And thanks to the Rainbow Aura it was painless and I even recovered quickly. If this trip takes too long will it hurt this time?" A timid woman asked, visibly worried. 

"Senior, senior! Don't worry a bit, father taught us how to use some of our aura. We can make a similar effect too! It might take many of us. But seniors won't have to worry either way. With us here working together you'll have a safe delivery." One of Lei Jin's girls around the age of 10 said, with a big confident smile. 

"Then I'll have to trouble you juniors for your assistance." The timid woman giggled. 

"Be safe on your journey and get along with everyone on the way back. Father promises you that when business is done I come back and play. Be safe." Lei Jin said, preparing to send them out. 

"We will daddy! We have some strong people with us." Another one of Lei Jin's confident little girls said. 

"Good, good. Now then I will see you shortly." Lei Jin said, sending all of those who needed to leave, out of the restriction. Naturally this included several more 9th ranks. "Don't forget, you must protect the ships in secret and once they arrive safely, rendezvous with Shattered Heaven Cave Heaven's 9th rank." He added. 

"Of course, Supreme Master." 5 more 9th ranks responded and left the restriction as well.
