Chapter 35: Good news

'So that's the case...' The Heavenly Emperor thought as he looked towards Xu Liang in full seriousness.

Xu Liang looked towards Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu with a confused look on his face.

"That was good. I think we found another specialty of your special physique. Your physique provides you special powers that make any shield or defense useless in front of you. Other than actual physical defense of the body, a cultivator can't use any defense to protect themselves from your attack." Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu said as he looked at Xu Liang.

"I want to check things once more. If this ability is only applied to your physical attacks or if this will be applied to your long-range attacks as well."

"Liang'er! Try hitting that barrier again. This time use the weakest long-range attack that you know." Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu said as he made another barrier at the same location.

"The weakest long-range attack? Alright." Xu Liang nodded his head.

Xu Liang stood still as he got into an attacking stance. He collected his Origin Energy to the tip of his finger and pointed it towards the barrier.

"Flame of Chaos!" Xu Liang said as an orb of fire came into existence in front of him. The flame was dark red in color that looked much like the molten lava.

The blazing orb of fire moved towards the shield created by the Heavenly Emperor.

As soon as the orb of fire touched the shield, the shield offered no resistance to the orb and disappeared.

The orb of fire landed on the wall of the room. The fire spread everywhere where it landed and disappeared soon after. Even the wall looked somewhat burnt after the fire disappeared. 

"So it works on the ranged attacks as well. You're going to be really strong when you grow up. Since you can already turn their defenses useless, when you gain more strength, no one will be able to stand up to you. The Heavenly Realm will enter the Golden Age with you as its ruler." Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu said with a smile.

Xu Liang heard his praise, but didn't reply.

"I must say, your physique is really overpowered. If a mortal of the lower realm had such physique, with the ability to cultivate origin energy and to disintegrate other's defenses, he would be able to become the biggest threat to the Heavenly and the Demonic Realm if he desired."

"Previously I used to consider the physique of the Desolation Empress as the scary one, but looks like yours is way scarier." 

The Heavenly Emperor laughed heartily as he patted Xu Liang's shoulders.

"Alright. You are a natural. You already know how to use Origin energy to attack. I thought it would take longer to teach you. It's good though. Stay here and cultivate for the rest of the day. Since you're here, use this room to the fullest. I'll be leaving now, " Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu told Xu Liang.

"Yes, father." Xu Liang said as he nodded his head.

The Heavenly Emperor turned back and left the room.

Xu Liang stayed in the room as he sat down in a meditative position.

He closed his eyes and began circulating the origin of energy through his body as he chanted the mantras.

Time kept passing slowly and soon it was night, but since the room was already so dark and there were no windows, Xu Liang didn't realize that it was already night.

He cultivated for 4 more hours before he woke up. He felt like it was enough.

Xu Liang walked towards the exit and left.

After walking for some time, Xu Liang finally reached his room. He had already realized by now that he was too late. It was midnight by now.

He stood in front of the door and pushed it open.

As he entered the room, he noticed that Yue was sitting on the bed waiting for him.

"You didn't sleep?" Xu Liang asked Yue as he closed the door behind him.

"I was waiting for you. I couldn't sleep." Yue replied as she stood up. She walked forward and hugged Xu Liang.

"Welcome Back." She said as she embraced Xu Liang.

___________________________

Years passed away. It had already been 3 years since Xu Liang and Yue had gotten married.

During those 3 years, Xu Liang continued his research as he tried to learn everything about the lower worlds. He was trying to learn everything there was to know about the lower realms and the immortal world so that he could immediately leave in search of the Desolation Empress after he broke through to the realm that came after the 10th strange of the Saint Realm, the Immortal Realm.

Xu Liang had decided long ago that he would go to the lower world after he broke through to the Immortal Realm and he was working towards his goal.

In those 3 years, he had broken through to the 7th stage of the Saint Realm. In fact, he was at the peak of the 7th stage of the saint realm by now.

Quite a lot of his time was spent with Yue during the last few years. They were known as the Heavenly couple of the Heaven Realm by the citizens.

At the moment, Yue was lying on the bed and the Goddess of Medicine Wen Yin was checking up on him.

Xu Liang was holding her hand as he sat near her.

Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu and War God Zhen also stood nearby. They all had a concerned look on their faces.

"So...? What was the reason for her vomiting? Is she sick?" Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu asked Wen Yin.

"Nope. She's not sick. It was good news instead." Wen Yin chuckled as he replied to him.

"Good news? Do you mean..." The Heavenly Emperor was suddenly struck with the realization as he asked her.

"Yup. You are about to become a grandfather and Xu Liang is about to become a father. Little Yue is pregnant." Wen Yin said with a bright smile.
