Yan Wenjing's face changed, "I-is this the sun?"
"Correct."
Li Mo nodded.
"Impossible. If this is the sun, w-how are we still alive?
We should've been burnt to ashes by now! "
"If the teleportation coordinates were slightly off, you and I would have turned into ashes. However, because the coordinates are correct, the land we are standing on now is the only place on Huosang Star that can allow us to survive.
"This is my first stop."
Li Mo brought Yan Wenjing for less than ten li when the scene before her shocked her to the point where she couldn't move a muscle.
The bright red flames were right in front of them, but they seemed to be blocked by something, preventing the flames from advancing. The red soil and the sea of fire in front of them formed two completely different worlds.
"The sun's true fire is ahead. With our current cultivation, even a drop will turn us to ash."
"W-we should go back. It's too hot."
Yan Wenjing was so nervous she stopped calling Li Mo daddy. She was drenched in sweat, either from the heat or from the fear.
Though the sun's true fire was ahead of them, the heat wasn't any weaker than when they first arrived.
Li Mo took out God Prison and threw it into the sun's true fire.
The four Zhuge brothers were locked up in God Prison, but when Li Mo decided to refine on the Blazing Mulberry Planet, he took them out and left them on Earth.
Zhou Mengxian's Rainbow Immortal Sword was tossed in by Li Mo, followed by dozens of other rare materials.
They came from the ancient battleground. Li Mo had been collecting them for a long time, and today, he threw them all into God Prison.
Whoosh ~
Li Mo was drenched in sweat as he added more and more materials. Refining was the most taxing thing on the mind. Li Mo was going all out, pouring almost all of his true qi into God Prison.
Yan Wenjing asked cautiously, "Daddy, are you refining?"
Li Mo nodded.
"I heard refining requires one to give it their all, and the refiner needs to put his heart and soul into it. There is no room for carelessness or it will all be for naught and the refiner will suffer a backlash. At best, they will be heavily injured, and at worst, their body and soul will be destroyed."
Li Mo nodded.
Yan Wenjing laughed, "But dad, don't worry. I'm yours now. I'll do whatever you tell me to do. I'm loyal to you. It's impossible for me to sneak attack you."
Li Mo closed his eyes.
"I'll protect Father."
Yan Wenjing assumed the 'serious' posture of a guardian.
"There has been no life on the Huosang Star for tens of thousands of years. You don't have to pretend."
"Then, you can do it. I'm going to the side to rest."
Yan Wenjing remained calm.
Li Mo used the True Sun Fire to refine the God Prison.
If Li Mo didn't know the Myriad Flame Art, he wouldn't be able to refine even if he came to the Blazing Mulberry Star. Because of the Myriad Flame Art, he could easily control the True Sun Fire.
Li Mo kept compressing the True Sun Fire, while the God Prison disintegrated and fused again and again. As the God Prison shrank in size, its toughness increased as well.
Seven days passed and Li Mo lost a lot of weight. But he didn't give up refining, pouring his qi into the God Prison without a moment's pause.
"This endless supply of qi is beyond my imagination. No wonder you didn't even spare Zhou Mengxian a glance. With your power, not even ten Zhou Mengxian are your match."
Yan Wenjing was shocked, admiring Li Mo's display of power.
Li Mo was in a bad state, but Yan Wenjing never showed any sign of sneaking up on him. She was always' respectful 'to him.
Every seven days, Li Mo would take a breather before throwing himself back into refining. Time flew and 49 days went by in a blink.
When Li Mo recalled the God Prison from the True Sun Fire, it underwent an earth-shattering transformation.
The dull surface was now shining with the dazzling light of the True Sun Fire. The God Prison shrunk by half, but was a hundred times stronger than before.
"Congratulations, dad! You refined a divine weapon!" Yan Wenjing congratulated.
"This is only the first step. There is still a long way to go before this divine weapon is complete."
Li Mo put the God Prison away and took out a hundred jade talismans to collect some True Sun Fire.
Yan Wenjing was moved, "True Sun Fire Talisman! So daddy isn't just a refining expert, but also a talisman master. Zhou Mengxian can't do such a thing."
"Yan Wenjing, Zhou Mengxian is your master after all. How can you call him by his full name and call me daddy? Your skin is really thick."
Yan Wenjing said, "Zhou Mengxian only used me as a tool. I never respected him. I only listened to him because I was afraid of him.
"Before I could understand anything, Zhou Mengxian found me from somewhere and adopted me. But with his character, I'm sure I'm not an orphan. Maybe he killed my parents and kidnapped me."
"He didn't adopt me for my own good. He wanted my Rejuvenation Body. When I was thirteen, he wanted to sleep with me. Fortunately, he was too old and had lost the ability to do that. That was how I managed to escape."
"If I were you, would you respect Zhou Mengxian?" Yan Wenjing retorted.
"No, but you call me dad. Do you think that's respect?"
"No, I'm just afraid of you. I call you that to let you know I am special compared to others."
Li Mo was startled.
"You don't need to be afraid of me …"
"If you were a tiger and you told me this, do you think I would believe you?"
"You are stronger than me, so of course you can say that. You can make me live or die, make me do anything I don't want to do. You can even say that my fate is in your hands."
"I'm not stupid …"
Li Mo was stunned.
Li Mo took out a high earth spiritual art and set the coordinates again.
A spiritual seed wasn't enough for long-distance teleportation. He needed a lot of earth qi jades.
"Are we leaving?"
Li Mo nodded.
"Next stop is Heavenly Lightning Star!"
Hum ~
Spiritual qi wrapped around Li Mo and Yan Wenjing and they were gone.
Boom boom boom boom boom —
Yan Wenjing didn't even get to see the scene before she heard thunder.
