With the purification wall around the s.h.i.+zi Empire earlier, it was easier for them to get the second requirement and they needed to activate the caged prisms now for the first requirement. Added to the fact that Blessed beings also stepped into their sizeable magical setup, the second requirement was already completed.
Third, which was the hardest to obtain, was a tainted spirit. Fa Liwei"s original plan was to use Wei Jiayi since the rules of heaven currently bound him. The moment Wei Jiayi broke those rules, they could use him as the last piece.
Fa Liwei had initially been planning to use Gao Lan Mei to force Wei Jiayi to fight but in the end, Gao Lan Mei herself could also be used as the final piece.
The fact that she was turning black from the prism discharge alone, meant that Gao Lan Mei was ready to be sacrificed.
Fa Liwei only realized this when she stepped out of the firewall and started fighting using a Blessed"s spiritual energy and slowly devouring Impurities herself. That meant that she could balance both elements without restriction.
At that moment, he also noticed Gao Lan Mei devouring Wei Jiayi"s spiritual energy while her blackened hand was also doing it with the black smoke.
"I should have realized this sooner. Nevertheless, a very interesting being," Fa Liwei thought to himself entertainingly. He glanced at Concubine Li to see if she was aware of what was going on. "Let"s see how long can she keep that body."
He already noticed Gao Lan Mei devouring when she was setting up the purification wall for the Entire s.h.i.+zi empire. At that time, Fa Liwei had only thought that she was doing it out of desperation. Most likely she was trying to cultivate herself and increase rank because it was needed forcefully.
Fa Liwei was aware that she almost succ.u.mbed to the Impure madness multiple times. However, her using the Impure energy like it was her own element was still logically astonis.h.i.+ng to a being like Fa Liwei.
It was like a game with a set regulation, but if the fight were a sure win, it would be too dull.
"I would like to watch some more," Fa Liwei thought to himself, looking forward to another thing that Gao Lan Mei could do.
However, he knew that the moment Gao Lan Mei tried to fight, he would not show mercy anymore.
That also went for Wei Jiayi. If they needed to capture the mated couple together, so be it. He only needed to give all he had.
"Young Master Wei, do you know the hidden law between all domains and the beings from Beyond?" Fa Liwei casually asked, completely ignoring the fact that Wei Jiayi"s mouth was still on Gao Lan Mei"s neck.
"I know your story. The reason you are in the Mortal Domain instead of where dragons are supposed to be in this tiny Universe." He said it like he was not seeing the death glare from Wei Jiayi.
Then he continued, "Then for Miss Gao, I tried to look at how she could have been tainted like you, but sadly I am still baffled. Looking further would be interesting, but it would be a waste of time. So I would like to ask her if you may, after all, she is your mate, and I hate to say this, but both of you are compatible." Fa Liwei released a deep breath, "Isn"t it wonderful? After breaking the law, you still get your happy ever after?"
"So don"t be selfish. My master broke one of these laws, and that caused him to be sealed," Fa Liwei added, sounding almost casual. "Just like you, he deserves to be happy."
Fa Liwei tilted his head and looked at his small orb. His face was completely void of emotions.
"There were regulations, yes, and in these, there were rules. Within these rules, could be "laws" as well." Fa Liwei commented seriously. The orb in his hand brightened before…
"Crus.h.!.+"
The tiny orb, that he always seemed to be looking at, shattered in his hand, until only the bright fluid from inside and pieces of the gla.s.s...o...b..remained.
"Laws are there for a reason. A being that broke them also had his reasons for doing so. It is enough to be sealed for hundreds of years. Since you understand how punishments work, will you cooperate?" Fa Liwei asked seriously.
Wei Jiayi stiffened and slowly retracted his teeth from Gao Lan Mei"s neck. He felt light-headed from the happiness, of his beast, for completing the mating mark.
However, he still could not help but be worried about how she will take it. Will she be mad? Or she will not cause it was the best way he could help her heal.
Aside from that, he strangely felt nostalgic due to Fa Liwei"s scent. He smelt exactly like Wei Jiayi"s childhood home!
"Cooperate?" Wei Jiayi asked with apparent disbelief.
"You can also tell them to stop wasting their energy. As long as I"m alive, the Boundary will keep repairing itself. And you know, that I don"t die," Instead of answering, Fa Liwei pointed at the firewall, then sent an energy blast to Blessed Juni"s flame.
"You made the Boundary spell! Everything was your doing!" Wei Jiayi wanted to kill Fa Liwei mercilessly. If he weren"t holding Gao Lan Mei, he probably would"ve tried to.
Fa Liwei nodded, "We do not need you dead Young Master Wei." He said as he strolled towards them.
Through clenched teeth, Wei Jiayi ignored Fa Liwei as he keeps his focus at Gao Lan Mei.
"Young Master Wei, why are you ignoring me? I am asking you nicely." Fa Liwei said sounding disappointed.
"Why do you keep calling me that?! Stop it!" Wei Jiayi hissed.
