At this moment the spiritual energy in the heavenly realm increased significantly and most of the people felt it. Taiyi had broke the unprecedented rule hence freeing most people from the previous curse placed on them by the heavenly dao. At this moment Taiyi's dragon scales fell off before new scales started to appear. The scales were much whiter than before and for a moment there was a blinding light coming from the peak of the emotion severing cliff. At this moment in heavens a sword strike appeared that slashed the skies in half. Everyone who witnessed the scene was shocked. The crack in the sky did not heal even after a few decades passed by which was shocking to many and many generations would be left in wonder when they heard the story of that wonderful sword slash. Taiyi at this moment was in a very wonderful state as he could feel all the impurities in his body being washed away and even those in his soul were being washed away. Taiyi's eyes were closed and a sword was hovering above his head. Both the dragon and the sword were evolving and each was growing stronger than before. They were each growing past their limits and attaining new limits. To Taiyi who had spent his whole life with his sword as a companion it was only natural for his sword to also evolve so as to withstand his strength. Taiyi's closed eyes only opened after a few days and at this moment his eyes were deep and profound and his every movement seemed to receive a response with the heavenly dao as if he was now the heavenly dao. After opening his eyes Taiyi released a loud roar before he disappeared. No one saw how he moved and there was no fluctuation felt from space when he moved. After leaving Taiyi returned to his palace in the heavenly realm. No one noticed his return so he just sat in his study. He did not notify anyone of his presence. His sword was still left in the emotion severing cliff but what Taiyi was sure about was the fact that after this the emotion severing cliff had no need to exist anymore. After a while Taiyi disappeared from his study and went to the fire realm. He sneaked into Feng Jiu's room and then sat down comfortably as if he owned the place. After waiting for a while he decided to look for some books in the Feng Jiu's room and started to read it. Feng Jiu entered her room a few hours later but she still did not notice that her room was in disarray. She did not think that anyone would dare to intrude in her room. To her she had cut off all connections with Taiyi after that night. After a whole day of activities she was now tired and needed to rest but the first thing she did was to head to the bathroom. She did not have maids in her room as she was never comfortable with maids serving her. Her room was out of bounds for many and apart from her daughter Tie Ling no one was allowed to enter. Feng Jiu out of instinct felt something wrong as she was about to remove her clothes so she turned around and only then did she see that some of her books were gone. She took a step closer to investigate and that was when she saw a man seated comfortably in her study while reading her journals. Her library mostly consisted of books that she shad written about herself and contained most of her secrets as she did not want to forget them when she finished her merging process. When she saw the person reading the books she was shocked and stay rooted on the ground as she just stared at the figure before her seemingly unable to believe her eyes. Taiyi did not even seem to notice her and was still engrossed in his reading as if nothing else existed. Feng Jiu took a while before she recovered after which she summoned her sword and pointed it at Taiyi with shaking hands." Shhh! Please keep it low after all this is interesting," Taiyi said as he opened a new page. Feng Jiu just stared at him as she felt that his tone was different." What are you doing in this place? You should not be here," Fengg Jiu said but all she received was not the response she desired. Feng Jiu saw Taiyi close the book. She did not figure out what happened but what she saw next was Taiyi's face that was closer to hers. Taiyi stood closer to Feng Jiu at a distance where they could feel each other's breath. Geng Jiu's heart couldn't help but race but for Taiyi he looked calm but his heart was also racing at this moment. No one spoke to the other rather they both stared at each other. At this moment Feng Jiu finally saw that something had changed in Taiyi as his eyes although still had its former indifference at this moment there was definitely something different about Taiyi's blue eyes and for a moment she thought that she saw a gentle expression flicker across Taiyi's eyes. Feng Jiu calmed down after which she tried lifting her sword but she found that a strong hand was holding her down." Why are you here?" Feng Jiu asked." I thought of coming to see my wife and daughter," Taiyi calmly replied with a smile after which he disappeared again and when he reappeared he was back in his seat with Feng Jiu in his arms." What are you doing?" Feng Jiu asked. Although she knew that Taiyi had improved she never thought that Taiyi would be so bold to sneak into her chambers and even blatantly atake advantage of her. At this moment she finally remembered some of the things she had read about Taiyi before he went to the emotion severing cliff or maybe before the death of his brother. It seemed that it was only after the death of his brother that Taiyi changed. At that time she remembered that she had once read that Taiyi had once at some point sneaked into the flower realm on his own and tried kidnapping on of the ladies of the flower realm. During those days Taiyi's reputation was at rock bottom. His reputation only rose after he became the emperor but even then many people thought that he was only a prevent and would not be a good emperor but he proved them wrong. He was the only emperor apart from his brother who died young who ended up having no harem despite being proclaimed a pervert. During those days if any of the emperors heard that Taiyi was to take a stroll round their realm or sea they would immediately send their daughters away with various excuses as they did not want their daughters to be deflowered by Tayiyi after all at that time Taiyi's reputation had spread far and wide and he was recognised as the most handsome man in the whole realms.
