Chapter 679: Chapter 678: Steady Breakthrough
"I bet you wouldn’t dare lie to me!" Huang Ji said, kissing Ye Fan.
He followed up with a stream of sweet nothings. He had no choice; his father-in-law was the Great Wilderness Main God, the most powerful deity in the Divine Domain by total combat strength. But if my father-in-law were to see us now, would he have the urge to tear me limb from limb? It’s entirely possible. Ye Fan thought. The Great Wilderness Main God had the look of a cunning old fox. Ye Fan had slept with his daughter; it would be abnormal if the man didn’t fly into a rage.
「Three days later, Huang Ji began her breakthrough!」
However, before she started, Ye Fan was still uncertain. To ensure her breakthrough went smoothly, he decided to do one more thing: make Huang Ji’s Divine Spark even more stable.
For this, he said to her, "My love, I think we should do one more thing!"
"Husband, what is it?" Huang Ji had already changed how she addressed him, now that she was his woman.
Ye Fan explained, "It’s something crucial for your Divine Spark. Although it’s already quite stable, I want to make it even more solid!"
Huang Ji replied, "Husband, my Divine Spark was forged by my father using Great Wilderness Spirit Stones and top-grade Immortal Mines from the Divine Domain. I think it’s very stable already."
That was her assessment, but Ye Fan shook his head. "It’s not stable enough. I think we need to add these to forge a Divine Spark worthy of a Main God!"
At that moment, he brought out the materials.
Instantly, Huang Ji gasped. Staring at the dozen or so peerless Immortal Mines on the table, she couldn’t believe Ye Fan was so wealthy. Even having grown up in a Main God’s family, she couldn’t imagine anyone possessing so many supreme-quality Immortal Mines.
"This still isn’t enough. I must also add my blood!" Ye Fan declared.
Huang Ji was deeply moved. "Husband," she said emotionally, "you’re willing to use so many precious things for my sake. I can do without them, but your Divine Spark must be stable!"
"It would be better to add these things to your Divine Spark!" she insisted. She felt that his sentiment was enough. After all, having spent time with Ye Fan, she knew the pressure he would face in the future was immense.
"Hahaha, my love, you can rest assured! In all the heavens, no one’s Divine Spark is more stable than mine!" he boasted. "So, come on! I’m going to make your Divine Spark even more stable than a Main God’s!"
Huang Ji was still skeptical. Left with no choice, Ye Fan decided he had to remove his own Divine Spark.
Damn, that hurt like hell.
The moment he extracted the Divine Spark, Ye Fan was inwardly falling apart. Although the spark could be removed, it was impossible to do so without a period of intense pain.
When she saw the Divine Spark being forcefully taken out by Ye Fan, Huang Ji fainted on the spot. At least in the Divine Domain, she had never witnessed such a heaven-defying feat.
"My love!" Ye Fan hastily revived her.
Still reeling from the shock, Huang Ji asked in astonishment, "Husband, your Divine Spark... it can be removed?"
Ye Fan smiled. "It’s not that strange. For me, the Divine Spark is more of a convenience than a necessity. The problem is that the heavenly tribulations I face require a terrifying amount of lightning. If I don’t have the Divine Spark to help, facing the lightning with my body alone is very strenuous."
Huang Ji trembled as she said, "Husband, I never imagined your Divine Spark could be so terrifyingly powerful!"
"There’s a lot you haven’t seen," Ye Fan said. "Look at its structure. What do you see?"
"Incomparable Divine Steel... and Vast Divine Steel!" Huang Ji was astounded. Both materials had long been lost to the Divine Domain, yet Ye Fan possessed them. It was impossible for her not to be shocked.
Ye Fan sighed with feigned disappointment. "It’s just a pity there’s so little of these two. If I had more, I could integrate them into your Divine Sparks and make them even more stable!"
Huang Ji nearly fainted again. The dozen other materials Ye Fan had produced were already treasures one could only hope to stumble upon by chance; she wouldn’t dare be greedy enough to ask for more.
Huang Ji said, "I’ve always believed you were a dragon among men, Husband. It seems you’re even more formidable than I imagined!"
"Haha, you flatter me, you flatter me. Let’s continue!"
Ye Fan placed the Divine Spark back inside his body.
Damn, this is killing me! I’ve learned my lesson: don’t show off. The price of showing off is pain. Worse, for the sake of my pride, I can’t even let her see how much it hurts.
He then turned to refining the Immortal Mines for the eagerly waiting Huang Ji. After he finished, he began to fuse the refined essences onto her Divine Spark. Seeing that everything was almost ready, Ye Fan added half a drop of his own fresh blood into the mix.
Instantly, a pained expression crossed Huang Ji’s face. She felt a massive wave of potent True Blood merging into her body, knowing it would undoubtedly transform her physique. She also knew this True Blood was Ye Fan’s.
As soon as the True Blood was integrated, the Divine Spark began to heal. Before Huang Ji could even react, Ye Fan announced, "It’s done."
"So fast?" Huang Ji was shocked. This was tampering with a Divine Spark; even for a Main God, such a process would take several hours. But Ye Fan hadn’t taken more than an hour from start to finish. The incredible speed terrified her.
Ye Fan said, "Adding my True Blood naturally speeds things up. My love, get up and feel your Divine Spark. Isn’t it incredibly solid? Also, check for any flaws. Although I’ve made it quite perfect and there shouldn’t be any to find, if you spot one, I’ll polish it away for you. Then your perfect Divine Spark will be born."
"Mhm! Alright, Husband!" Huang Ji was very obedient, but she still couldn’t believe her Divine Spark could have been fused and perfected in under an hour.
She began to inspect it and was stunned to find that her Divine Spark was completely flawless—it was perfect to the extreme. The Divine Spark was the foundation of a Martial Cultivator, with Ye Fan being a notable exception. Even when her father, the Great Wilderness Main God, had forged it for her years ago, there had been many flaws. But this time, it was utterly perfect.
How could she not be ecstatic? She knew it had to be because of the True Blood, and also because the Immortal Mines were of the highest quality. The higher the grade of an Immortal Mine, the fewer the imperfections, and these were the best of the best. The perfect result was almost too much for Huang Ji to believe.
This also solidified her trust in Ye Fan. Otherwise, who would dare hand their Divine Spark over to someone else for repairs? If that person had shattered it, she would have been crippled for life. She had placed her complete and unconditional trust in Ye Fan, and as it turned out, she was right to do so. At least Ye Fan hadn’t let her down; instead, he had given her this grand gift.
No one would ever complain about becoming too powerful, especially not a proud chosen like Huang Ji. Now that her Divine Spark was perfected, she could withstand the lightning of her tribulation without any reservations.
Then, Huang Ji prepared to face her tribulation.
As she entered nirvana, the sky filled with dark, churning clouds. Lightning began to crash down. Although it was incredibly difficult for Huang Ji, she endured it all.
Looking at the arm-thick bolts of lightning, Ye Fan felt dejected. This is what a tribulation for other people looks like. No matter how much I envy it, it’s a reality I can never have. I can only watch helplessly. When I went through this nirvana, the lightning was a hundred times more powerful! This is the difference. Who said the heavens were fair to everyone? At least, I really can’t see where the fairness is. Is this fair? Fairness, my ass.
This time, Huang Ji’s tribulation went very smoothly. About two hours later, she successfully completed her nirvana.
Then, she turned to Ye Fan, her face alight with joy. "Husband, I’ve broken through twelve minor nirvanas!"
Watching Huang Ji celebrate like a little child, Ye Fan felt very gratified.
