Ying Xuanzi examined the pill that had landed in his hand.
What has that brat come up with now? But since he went out of his way to mention it, it should be something special.
He put it away in his Universe Bag first.
As for Fang Yi's parting words,
Ying Xuanzi was pleased to hear them. He had been overthinking things.
Fang Yi had been exceptionally bright since childhood, almost as though he had been born knowing everything. Though he was easygoing, he was very close to them. How could he possibly abandon them?
Yuan Sect...
Ying Xuanzi narrowed his eyes.
If the Yuan Sect truly intended to make a move against Fang Yi, he would not hold back for the sake of the so-called greater good as he once had.
His son was about to die, so what greater good was there to care about?!
But that brat's temperament...
It gave Ying Xuanzi a headache. Fang Yi's talent was impressive, but so was his knack for attracting women.
His gaze then fell on Ying Huanhuan. He noticed that the girl had been blushing ever since Fang Yi said that thing about marrying him.
The sight made Ying Xuanzi quietly breathe a sigh of relief. Thankfully, this was the daughter he knew, Ying Huanhuan.
But couldn't you have been influenced by the Ice Master just a little?
Where is your pride?!
Was marrying him the point of what he said? The point was that both sisters would marry him.
You were the Ice Master in your past life. Are you already thinking about two women serving one husband?
Ying Xuanzi snorted. As a son, Fang Yi was pleasing to the eye from every angle.
The same was true if he were his disciple.
But as a son-in-law, that was another matter. No matter how he looked at him, he was an eyesore. Besides, the brat had an ambiguous relationship with that girl from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace.
"Come back to your senses. That brat's already gone. What are you still thinking about?"
Ying Huanhuan came back to her senses and cupped her somewhat burning cheeks. Seeing her father's face growing increasingly livid,
she hurriedly changed the subject. "Ahem, Dad, should we pass this on to junior sister? Wouldn't it be better to help her awaken her memories early...?"
Ying Xuanzi shook his head. "No, there's no hurry with your junior sister. She's only at the Body Tempering Realm. Let's wait until she reaches the Nirvana Realm. If she really is the Lord of Life and Death, she has a deep connection with you too."
"Make sure you build a good relationship with her. You're my daughter, but she isn't. You don't have any children yet, while her relationship with the Immortal Sacred Whale clan is unclear."
Ying Xuanzi left the rest unsaid, but Ying Huanhuan understood. Aside from Jiang Yinyin's cultivation being a limiting factor, there were also emotional ties to consider.
That would keep Jiang Yinyin from running off to the Immortal Sacred Whale clan after awakening some of her memories.
Ying Huanhuan nodded. Though she had gained some of the Ice Master's memories, she was still Ying Huanhuan first and foremost.
She could not possibly oppose anything that benefited the Dao Sect.
Besides, if not for Fang Yi, whether Jiang Yinyin could awaken at all was another question.
She then lifted her pretty face, unable to hide the joy in her cheeks. "I've already broken through to Two Yuan Nirvana. I also passed the Nirvana Tribulation when I was awakening just now. It seems my mental power is still condensing a Symbol Seal. It shouldn't be long before I can form one and become a Talisman Master."
"Before long, just watch me thoroughly suppress that brat Fang Yi."
Seeing that Ying Huanhuan agreed with him, Ying Xuanzi smiled with relief. It seemed she really had not been influenced much by the Ice Master.
"All I want is for you to be happy. Even if you were the Ice Master, that's in the past. Whatever comes, just leave it to that brat Fang Yi to deal with."
Ying Xuanzi smiled kindly.
But Ying Huanhuan glared at him. "How can you think like that? Fang Yi gets tired too, and he's done so much already."
"Dad, what are you doing cooped up here all day? Hurry up and cultivate! You should at least break through to the Reincarnation Stage. Once I can slowly digest those memories,"
"I'll show you how to break through to the Reincarnation Stage."
Ying Huanhuan shook her head, looking as though she hated that iron could not become steel. Then she smiled. "I'm going to talk to my sister."
With that, her graceful figure transformed into a streak of azure light and flew toward the Pill River. Ying Xuanzi watched Ying Huanhuan's power.
It seemed she had been influenced somewhat after all.
Forget it. I'll leave it to that brat Fang Yi. Fang Yi knew many of the world's secrets that even he did not.
He had likely made quite a few plans behind the scenes. All Ying Xuanzi needed to do was provide martial support.
"Zhou Tong, Yimo..."
Ying Xuanzi rubbed his brow. These matters really were troublesome. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he took out the pill Fang Yi had given him.
"What was this refined from?"
Ying Xuanzi examined the pill and sniffed it. It had no particular smell. He could sense the surging Origin Energy it contained, and deeper within, there seemed to be something even he could not understand.
That brat said the Great Desolation Tablet gave it to him?
Then I really should give it a try. He casually tossed it into his mouth, and the next moment, a surge of power erupted inside him.
Ying Xuanzi felt it out for a moment. The Origin Energy was indeed powerful, even more formidable than that of a Profound Origin Pill. Even at the Samsara Stage, he felt a tiny increase.
But if that was all, it was of no use to him.
The accumulation of pure Origin Energy no longer did anything for him.
But the next moment,
he suddenly froze. A strange point of light had taken shape in his mind, radiating a peculiar Dao resonance.
"An insight into reincarnation..."
Ying Xuanzi was very familiar with this power, for he had grasped a tiny bit of it himself. This power was indeed an insight into reincarnation.
A moment later,
Ying Xuanzi opened his eyes, emerging from the insight. His eyes were full of surprise. It really was an insight into reincarnation.
How could Fang Yi possibly have something like this?
Without a special opportunity, ordinary insights into reincarnation could not possibly be preserved, much less refined into a pill.
"I have to ask that brat. If there are enough pills like this, breaking through to the Reincarnation Stage won't be difficult!"
Ying Xuanzi vanished from where he stood.
Within the Pill River of Heaven Hall.
Fang Yi sat cross-legged, digesting the power that had leaked out when Ying Huanhuan awakened. It served perfectly as a catalyst for cultivating the Black Emperor Water Sovereign Fist.
Though it was called a fist art, it was essentially just a property. Like the White Emperor Metal Sovereign Slash, the power it produced could be added to any other power.
Just like the White Emperor Metal Sovereign Slash's sharpness, which could cut through anything.
The Black Emperor Water Sovereign Fist, on the other hand, was ceaseless and unending. As long as he had enough power in his body, he could keep attacking, growing stronger and stronger like surging waves.
Earth gave birth to metal, and metal gave birth to water.
Ice was also a part of water, fitting perfectly within the five elements of heaven and earth. Fang Yi closed his eyes tightly and swallowed a Yimo Pill.
Using that rolling power, he refined the ice Qi into water Qi, then sent it directly into his kidneys. Both were powers of the Reincarnation Stage.
Though there was little of it, its quality was high, enough for Fang Yi to achieve minor mastery of the Black Emperor Water Sovereign Fist.
At once,
countless streams of water Qi surged around Fang Yi, seemingly joining with the water Dao of heaven and earth above. The sound of splashing waves rose on all sides.
In Fang Yi's perception, all the waters under heaven seemed to flow through his heart. When he reached the Chaotic Demon Sea, he would not need to worry about fighting on the water.
Fang Yi opened his eyes to find a huge face right in front of him, giving him a fright.
