1026 Unparalleled Child
Wang Wei appeared in a garden in Li Jun's Slaughter Mountain. He saw the latter embracing Su Ai while occasionally caressing her belly, which only had a slight curve. The atmos[here between them was both infectious and nauseous, and Wang Wei felt an overwhelming sense of jealousy.
Feelings of the past that he thought he had gotten over rushed into his mind. Wang Wei remembered - he remembered how he felt when he saw Li Jun with all these women, and he was stuck with only one. Now, it was even worse because he had no one to hold while that bastard was preparing for the beautiful journey of fatherhood.
It took all the restraint in his body not to beat Li Jun on the spot or curse him for ruining his happiness.
"I'll remember this,' thought Wang Wei before coughing, alerting the loving couple.
"Your...Your Majesty!" stuttered Su Ai.
"Oh, you're here," said Li Jun as he turned around, still holding her in his arms. Wang Wei confirmed this bastard knew he was there and just wanted to make him jealous by the smirk on the corner of his mouth. He secretly gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes before focusing on Su Ai: "You don't need to be nervous and restrained. I'm just an uncle checking on his nephew."
"Y...Yes."
Li Jun held her tightly as a form of reassurance: "How are your injuries?"
"Fine. Just the last bit is persistent and needs more time."
"That's good," replied Li Jun before sighing deeply.
"What's wrong?"
"In a time like this, I should be by your side to protect you. But..."
"No need to beat yourself for this. We will have plenty of opportunities to fight side-by-side in the future."
"Will we?" asked Li Jun, looking him directly in the eyes. Wang Wei looked at him and saw all his hopes and worries.
"There are few people I trust most in this world. So, trust me when I say I will not have anyone else look at my back other than you, and I hope you will feel the same."
"Of course I do."
"Then, that's all that matters."
The two hugged each other briefly before noticing Su Ai was crying. "What's wrong, honey?" asked Li Jun.
"Nothing. I just thought this moment was beautiful and could not help but cry."
"It's okay as long as these are happy tears," reassured Li Jun. A few seconds later, he looked at his brother and asked, "What do you think about my child?"
Wang Wei looked at Su Ai's belly, and his eyes soon glistened with a brilliant light. "If raised correctly, he will be a monster with potential even greater than me."
"What makes you say that?"
"I don't know what Hong'er did, but when she baptized him with her Grand Dao Source, she created an unparalleled foundation for him. As long as I, you, Liling, my father and mother, and the upcoming sect's Emperors baptize him again, he will be born with the acquired version of the Innate Source Grand Dao Physique."
"Xiao Tiandi's Physique? My son will be born with such a physique?"
"Not exactly," corrected Wang Wei. "His affinity with the law and the Dao will be so high that his comprehension will be on par with Xiao Tiandi, if not even higher."
Li Jun looked at his concubine's belly and did not know what to say.
"And that's not to mention his Human Fiendgod Bloodline," continued Wang Wei. "With all these baptisms from Eternal Level Powerhouses, its purity will be unparalleled if he chooses to awaken it. He's probably the only one after me to cultivate an orthodox and proper Ten Supremacy Foundation."
"My child will be so talented?" muttered Li Jun in shock, and he was not the only one. Su Ai could not stop smiling after hearing this. Her position in the Li Clan was not ideal as Li Jun began to focus more heavily on the main wife-Yan Liling-making the other concubines suffer to some extent. Luckily, she became pregnant with his first and only child.
Now that she knew she was not only carrying a son but such a talented one, she knew her status in the clan was guaranteed.
As soon as the smile appeared on Li Jun's face, it also disappeared, "It may not be a good idea to be that talented." He knew that talent and potential did not equate to strength, and it was possible for someone to waste their talent, just like Xiao Tiandi.
Then, there are other issues in raising such a talented child. With the expansion of the Heavenly Era, the sect will have no issue regarding resources to raise such a child, but Li Jun worries about the concern of balance. As talented as his son will be, Heaven and Earth will find ways to balance it by making his cultivation journey more bumpy than others. And if you add the Balance Mechanism against the sect, the situation might be aggravated.
Secondly, for his child to turn that way, he must spend a very long time in the womb, waiting for Cai Song, Jin Mengyao, and Dong Lifen to prove the Dao. He knew of the sect's future mode of operation that would require skipping many generations of battle, thus further delaying when this child would be born.
Thirdly, he has to consider how the birth of such a talented child will affect his relationship with Yan Liling; Li Jun had a headache after thinking about this.
Lastly, he was concerned for Su Ai. No ordinary woman or mortal bears the weight of destiny and karma of birthing such a talented individual.
"Will she be alright?" asked Li Jun.
"With the sect's protection and a few precautions, she will be," reassured Wang Wei. "And you must remember that many things must go correctly for your child to be born with such potential. The future I saw is not set in stone."
"I understand," nodded Li Jun before walking Su Ai to the room to rest. Then, he began drinking with Wang Wei.
"What's on your mind?"
"Many things," replied Li Jun. "Firstly, how do I raise this child so he won't waste his potential?"
"You can use my method," replied Wang Wei nonchalantly, and Li Jun immediately knew what he meant: sealed his son's talent and sent him to the Lower Realm and have him start from scratch, fighting for every inch of resources and struggling to ascend to each realm.
Li Jun shook his head, feeling sorry for his future nephew. "I still want my son to enjoy the benefits of being born in a powerful lineage. However, I can use your idea to temper his Dao Heart."
With a potent enough illusion formation, his son can live an entirely new life and temper his mind.
"You're too soft," sneered Wang Wei. He will only have children after becoming a True Transcendent Being, and so will Wu Hong, probably. By then, their children will truly be unparalleled monsters regarding talent-they might even be born as Transcendent Creatures.
But, regardless of whether that's true, his son will experience cultivation, and it will be the harshest. As for his daughter, he will dote on her like the princess she will be. Her torment will have to originate from her mother, not him.
"Anyway, as I always say, my job is to be the fun uncle." Li Jun rolled his eyes.
"What should I do for my children with Liling?"
Wang Wei did not know how to answer him. This child was so special because of whatever Wu Hong's clone did to establish his foundation, not just the baptism of so many powerful Eternal Emperors. Otherwise, it would be very easy to cultivate such a talented individual in the upper dimension full of so many Eternals, Empyreans, and Paragons.
"My advice for you is to wait like me until you've achieved Transcendence."
Li Jun smiled wryly, "You think too highly of us."
"You just think too lowly of yourself," countered Wang Wei. "If you don't even dare think you'll have such an achievement, then you're doomed never to have a chance."
"That's true," nodded Li Jun, still thinking about the question. He wanted to ask whether the other Wu Hong knew something but stopped himself from bringing up this sensitive subject.
"Alright, let's go test your cultivation result," said Wang Wei, and Li Jun's mouth twitched; he knew he was about to pay retribution for his previous actions. As expected, he received a very painful beating during their fight. Luckily, he did receive genuine instructions and help.
Wang Wei left satisfied. He set high goals for Li Jun; he wanted him to have great achievement in body refining and be like Di Tian, who cultivated a Golden Law Tree with spots of purple.
Li Jun needs to increase his lifespan, and with the combination of the [Future Buddha Self], this objective can be achieved after years in seclusion inside a Time Formation.
After leaving the sect, Wang Wei's next destination was one of the two the final Forbidden Lands of this world: the Swallowing Zone.
