Li Jun and Huo Fenghuang used their Divine Sense to exchange Dao Comprehension at an alarming rate. And in the process, both benefited tremendously.
Huo Fenghuang learned to expand the variety of her killing method. In contrast, Li Jun learned how to focus his killing method to have more destructive capabilities in one-on-one battles.
While deep in their conversation, they finally reached their destination in the Eastern Quadrant. Wang Wei was waiting for them on the same desolate planet he stayed on since the beginning of the battle.
"Thank you for this exchange," said Li Jun. "I have benefitted immensely. "
He never thought Huo Fenghuang would accept his request; he only asked on a whim, prepared for rejection. However, she not only agreed but was very cooperative.
"The pleasure is all mine," replied the Phoenix Princess. After accepting her defeat, her state of mind changed, and she became more peaceful. This mindset is the reason she so readily accepted Li Jun's request.
And now, she knew she had made the right choice due to the immense benefit this short exchange granted her.
Li Jun nodded. He wanted to ask her to communicate more often and learn from each other. However, he decided otherwise after thinking for a moment.
Huo Fenghuang should become a Primarch after leaving the battlefield. As such, she should have nothing to discuss with a mortal like him. And since he cannot reveal he will also be a Great Emperor, he chooses not to ask and gets rejected.
Wang Wei waited for them to finish talking before taking action. He waved his hand, and a green cube enveloped Li Jun before sending him into the distance.
'I sense the power of time,' thought Huo Fenghuang. 'Did he put him in a Time Bubble so he could swiftly digest our previous exchange and increase his strength?'
Huo Fenghuang secretly sighed as she felt jealous of their relationship. In the Ancient Clan, she could not even trust the members of her Huo Clan. So, it was impossible to train a mighty general–let alone one on par with the top Heaven Chosens of this Glorious Age.
Huo Fenghuang finally focused on Wang Wei. She saw the latter had created a small table and invited her to sit down. So, with a calm demeanor, she sat opposite him.
"Tea or wine?"
Huo Fenghuang thought for a moment. She had just lost a battle that ended her Emperor Path, so she was in the mood to drink, preferably something very strong. However, she also felt this meeting was important and should be more formal.
So, she replied:
"Tea."
Wang Wei calmly summoned a pot of tea before brewing it in front of her while also performing the perfect tea etiquette.
"Longjue Tea–it's my favorite," he explained. "I grew them personally using the power of Good Fortune."
He calmly served her before serving him.
"Before we begin, I would like to remind you that the outside world is watching our conversation."
Huo Fenghuang frowned as she understood the meaning behind his warnings.
"I understand."
Wang Wei nodded. "I believe that fighting is the worst way to deal with a problem and should only be used as a last resort.
"On the contrary, I believe in making friends and allies, to work together to deal with a problem."
"Are you trying to form an alliance with our Ancient Clan?"
"More or less," replied Wang Wei. "I would love for an alliance. But I'm also perfectly fine with an agreement–even a non-binding one."
Huo Fenghuang took a sip of her tea, and her eyes lit up. The tea was delicious and blessed the soul with a 15% increase in comprehension. Furthermore, she felt the blessing should last for at least three days.
"Good tea," she complimented.
"Thank you."
Huo Fenghuang briefly paused, "Do you think our two factions can become allies, given our troubled history?"
"Isn't there a saying that there is no eternal enemy, only eternal benefit?"
"Benefit, huh," muttered Huo Fenghuang, who knew things were not so simple. The Ancient Clans were highly proud and held grudges. The majority of the different clans believed Qiyuan was why their family became so weak.
They blamed him for ruining their dreams of becoming the absolute overlord of the Myriad Emperor World. So, it would be very challenging to convince them to set aside their grudge and pride to work with other factions–especially the Dao Opening Sect.
"Tell me about the benefits you mention."
