Jueti had told him that the yin and yang lightning could only be used outside of their bodies. That meant it was only useful in battle, and couldn't be converted into Discipline.
However, Lan Jue had accidentally acquired the thunder essence. After absorbing it, his Discipline had gained the aura of Empyrean lightning.
Empyrean lightning was a derivative of the Heavenly Dao's Primordial Lightning. It was far superior to their Taiyin and Taiyang lightning.
Although it was only a sliver of its aura, it was like glue. It helped them merge the lightning together.
It was a stroke of luck.
The Driver knew that it was better to be safe than sorry. He had to hurry and complete the process with Lan Jue.
Once it was complete, his Discipline would improve by leaps and bounds.
Becoming a Paragon was no dream!
"Alright, if you want to go then come with us." Lan Jue said.
Lan Qing wasn't present, but his subordinates were busy. Lan Jue arranged for the Bartender and Coffee Master to interact with them.
Star Division was left behind on An Lun for two reasons. One was to rest, and the other was to experience An Lun's training regimen. Training with the Bloodiron Khans would help them improve.
Once Lan Jue and the others returned, they would return to Skyfire together.
Zeus-1 nimbly soared into the skies like a hawk, leaving a dazzling trail of flames in its wake. In the blink of an eye, it was out of sight.
Lan Jue's last sentimental thought was his ship. It had been with him for the longest time.
Zeus -1 wasn't nearly as spacious as Majesty, but it had a few small cabins.
Jueti and Roxanne occupied one of them.
The Pauper had gone off to cultivate.
Lan Jue and the Driver continued the process.
With Jueti there, they didn't even have to worry about their safety.
In the end there was only one warehouse, but two Paragons.
The Wine Master and the Clockmaker.
Lan Jue shot the Wine Master a meaningful look.
The Wine Master hesitated, then hesitated. "Maybe I should go find the Pauper.
Squeeze with him. "
Lan Jue stared at him, dumbfounded.
Right now, he was the true ruler of Skyfire Avenue and the Space Scepter. How could he be so inferior when it came to relationships?
You're not going to seize such a good opportunity?
The Epochrion glanced at him. "You should come with me. Your Discipline and the Pauper's are incompatible.
I'll help you sort out your thoughts so that you can start forming your Dharma Power when you get back. "
"Ah?" The Wine Master looked up at the Clockmaker in surprise.
The Clockmaker, however, had already turned around and was heading back to her cabin.
"Can you not be so lame?" Lan Jue looked at the Wine Master helplessly. "You think you can pick up a girl like that?
I'll be a bachelor for the rest of my life. "
The Wine Master fumed. "What the hell do you know?
She was very chaste and never wanted to have close contact with men.
I'm respecting her. "
Lan Jue said angrily, "Your sister.
To pick up girls, one needed to be bold, careful, and thick-skinned.
When you're friends, of course you have to respect them.
You're looking for a wife, and the best way to show your wife is to show her how much you like her. Don't be hesitant about it.
Can't you see the light of day? "
Lan Jue's voice was loud enough for everyone on board to hear.
Then, Lan Jue saw a wave of unfriendly gazes turn in his direction.
"Ugh …" Lan Jue could feel the bitterness, the tenderness, the resentment, and the resentment. She turned and ran.
Compared to yelling at the Wine Master, her own safety was more important.
The Wine Master couldn't help but chuckle. Then, he felt his heart race.
She … she's inviting me to train in the same cabin as her?
The cabins of the spaceship were very small, and space was limited. If two people were to be together …
He took a few deep breaths, then strode forward. Lan Jue's words had moved him.
"Your nephew is a real piece of trash." Jueti lay on the bed, speechless.
Roxanne lay on his arm, giggling. "You're not a piece of trash.
You made me wait for so many years.
Don't worry, when we get back to Skyfire, I'll stay here on Skyfire Avenue. Whatever you want to do, I won't stop you.
I won't let you lose your freedom. "
She knew it was impossible to hold on to this man. It was better for them to maintain a close relationship, to see each other occasionally. At least she'd be able to see him.
Jueti put an arm around her shoulders and sighed. "Maybe I'm getting old. I don't crave freedom as much anymore.
I'm afraid of being alone.
With my personality, how could I have ever called for my son to come home?
But now, when I don't see them for a while, I miss them.
I never knew that I could miss people.
I've let you down. "
Roxanne's body shook. She lifted her head in disbelief. She couldn't believe it was Jueti who'd said these words.
They'd known each other for so many years, she knew him too well. It was because of this that she couldn't believe it.
This wasn't something Chi Bupang would say!
She gently stroked his cheek. "You're not old. In my heart, you'll never be old."
Jueti smiled, taking in her warmth. "I've been too stubborn. I've given up so many good things.
I'm getting older, I've learned to accept things.
Once we're done with the alien home worlds, you can come with me for a walk.
We'll explore the outside world as well. Who knows, maybe we'll find some nice planets for our sons.
He might even be able to find a planet with a huge amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth like his original mother planet.
Or maybe we'll find some traces of immortals. "
Roxanne's eyes narrowed. "You … you're not going to kick me out?"
Jueti lifted a hand to cup her face. "As long as you don't despise me.
From now on, you'll be the mother of my children. "
Roxanne bit down on her lower lip. She threw herself at him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
She had been waiting for this sentence for several decades!
Jueti smiled. He suddenly realized he'd been too stubborn. He liked this warm feeling.
With this woman, he felt like he had a home.
Ever since he'd seen Roxanne on Ziluo, he'd had a strange feeling.
He'd raised Lan Qing and Lan Jue. After they'd gone their separate ways, he'd lived on his own.
He was a very egoistic person, but no matter who it was, they all had feelings.
He missed his sons, but there were some things he couldn't say.
He'd known Lan Jue's grief after Hera's death, but he'd seen it as a sign of weakness. He'd been angry, so he'd ignored Lan Jue.
Until he'd seen Lan Jue step by step, heard the news Lan Qing brought him, and witnessed Lan Jue's stunning performance at the Adept Competition.
Jueti was aware of his desire for family.
He'd adopted Lan Qing and Lan Jue. He'd treated them as his sons, his disciples, and had been working hard to nurture them.
But he was also very strict and harsh with them.
But as he grew older, he realized that his only spiritual sustenance was these two children.
They'd trained enough.
Jueti wanted to be closer to his two sons, but he didn't know how to do so.
Yes, the strongest person in the world didn't know how to express his familial love.
But that day, Roxanne came, and she was with Lan Jue, and he felt very strange.
It seemed that because of Roxanne's appearance, there was something between him and his sons.
Later, he heard a colleague in the factory say something, and he completely understood what that feeling was.
That colleague said that a family would only feel like home with a woman!
Jueti suddenly came to a realization. Wasn't that right? An additional woman in the family seemed to be more of a bond, and it felt more like home.
Later, he kept hearing that Lan Jue and Roxanne got along well, and that Roxanne saved Lan Jue's life, which gradually awakened Jueti.
Although he was often so angry at Roxanne that he couldn't speak, he found that he liked this kind of atmosphere.
When he quarreled with her, his two sons would mediate between them.
This was home.
What he had just said seemed simple, but in reality, he had thought about it for a long time before he finally made up his mind.
Now, as he held the woman in his arms, he didn't regret it. In fact, he was glad he'd made the decision he'd made.
This cabin was filled with sweetness. The other cabin was silent.
When the Wine Master entered, the Clockmaker was already sitting cross-legged on one side of the bed. Her eyes were closed, as if she were meditating.
He hesitated for a moment, then took a seat across from her.
"Uh, um, I'm coming in." The Wine Master said tentatively.
The Clockmaker opened her eyes. She looked at the Wine Master, who seemed a little uneasy.
The Wine Master felt uncomfortable under her gaze. He rose to his feet. "If you don't feel well, I'll go outside."
The Epochrion turned her head to the side.
The Wine Master's eyes dimmed, and he turned to leave.
"Get back here!" The Clockmaker hissed.
"Ah?" The Wine Master turned.
"Sit down!" She hissed.
"Oh." The Wine Master sat back down.
"The Jewelry Master is right," the Clockmaker muttered. "You're useless."
The Wine Master smiled bitterly. "I'm sorry, I … I'm scared."
The Clockmaker paused. "What are you scared of?
Scared I'll eat you? "
The Wine Master sighed. "I'm scared you'll leave again.
You've been gone for decades. All these years, every time I pass by the Clockmaker's shop, my heart aches.
My longing is like a demon, wreaking havoc in my heart.
I don't have the heart to cultivate. Only when I drink can I savor the beauty of the wine. That's when the memories of you come back to me.
That's why I like to drink. I like the rich, lingering taste of red wine. I like the numbness it brings.
Every day I think of you, and every time I think of you, I drink. "
This old man is crazy!
The Wine Master also has his spring.
Yes, for the Wine Master's spring.
