Skills

She just silently went around the room looking at the different coloured globes and guessing which Law they must be from. Dark Blue was related to Water, Orange for Fire, Brown for Wood, White for Light, Black for Dark, Light Brown for Earth, Silver for Metal, Cloudy for Air, Weapon shaped for Weapon, Pink for Emotions, and Red for Blood. There were also mixtures for the Secondary laws, but she did not find any that were similar to the Origin laws.

When she thought about it, she found that it could be because of the low Realm. There were only one or two that were purely related to Fundamental Laws as well and almost all the skills were related to Secondary Laws.

While she was browsing around, she especially looked at the Ice Law related skills. She found a few but none that interested her. Soon she came back to her father who was patiently waiting for her, but he had was not concentrated on her, as if his mind was somewhere else.

In the underground passage, in the room where the Emperor cultivated, two people were seated opposite each other. There was joy on both their faces. They were the avatars of the Empress and the Emperor. The Empress was especially excited.

"Did you see? Our daughter, there were hints of her. They seem to be fusing together. Earlier, her body was too weak and so the other soul was dominating completely and we though she died, but it looks like they have fate together and are fusing with each other. Our daughter is alive." The Empress was brimming with joy and there was a twinkle in her eye that only a mother who had lost all her children only to find one of them could have. She was in hell when heaven shone a light on her with an invitation.

There was a genuine smile on the Emperor's face as well. He was also happy that his daughter was alive and even more happy seeing his beloved's joy. "I know. I am also happy, but we need to make sure now that nothing goes wrong. By the time she reaches the Spirit Realm, they would have fused properly. The new soul is smart and does not seem to harbour malicious intentions, but she should never know that her soul is fusing with our daughter or she may find a chance to kill her."

A cold light flashed in the Empress' eyes as she coldly said, "Yes, if she dares to stop this fusion, I will obliterate her. Although it does not seem bad, we can never know. Also, it would be good if they fuse, our daughter was a bit naïve and wilful and we could only indulge her, our loss of two sons, especially the younger one, their thoughts would never allow us to properly discipline her. Whenever I saw her, I could only smile and let her do as she pleases. You are also the same. It's good that a mature soul can fuse with her."

"Yes. But I don't think that you should continue to ignore her. At least give her a chance. She also requires knowing that you are part of the family. When she grows up and fuses, her memories might now include you and you may be alienated later. I don't want her to only see you as a Master but as a mother." The Emperor suggested.

"Hmph. I know, but it is difficult for me. But she is also the reason that our daughter can live. Qi Deviation is a guaranteed path to death, no matter what that old man said about one in a million chance, he is only a few thousand years old. What does he know?"

"Why not adopt her? That way you can be at ease. Think of her as your adopted daughter. I also do the same. She has grown on me though. Maybe she will grow on you too."

"Alright. Train her properly. You know my goal. She needs to reach the Progenitor-God Realm. I can only trust my daughter for that. Also, soon I will not be able to focus on this avatar, one of my avatars will soon engage in a fight and the black hole is also about to form. I need to study it. You need to come there as soon as possible. 4 of us have reached the goal. 1 more will reach soon. Then it will be us and our daughter who will keep back the rest. We need to hurry up now. That damned war, if not for that, we would not need to wait for our daughter."

"Yes." The Emperor sighed and continued, "A totally unnecessary war. But it is a pity that guy died and pushed our plans back by many years. No need to worry, I will train her to the Spirit Realm before sending her to you. Then I will catch up to you while you train her."

Then the Emperor slowly moved to the Empress and started to undress her. "You old man, these are just avatars. No need to get all riled up. Wait before coming to meet me. Then I will slowly let you eat me," the Empress laughed shyly and retorted and vanished from there.

The Emperor chuckled and vanished after her. At that time, in the library, Feng'er just came to him. He smiled at her and asked, "any skills you liked?" Feng'er smiled and shook her head. "I cannot make a judgement on how strong a martial art skill is. I have never seen one used. I don't trust the descriptions; they may say a fireball but all that may come out would be enough to resemble a matchstick. I will trust the skills you have chosen for me. But I want to know why there are so many skills that relate to different laws here if my affinity is with ice?"

The Emperor smiled and said, "It's good, this was just a test for you. I am glad you did not make any decisions. After you woke up, you have changed and so it is important for us to know how you are to choose what is best for you. The skills here are all peak-level Mortal Realm skills and although they may have firepower, the foundation that you will build from them will be very weak and will hinder you in the future."

He continued, "Although your affinity is with Ice, it does not mean you cannot learn other related laws. It will be difficult to learn but it is not impossible. You will learn ice laws at least 4 times faster."
