The old man sighed when he heard her explanation. He had already guessed it but he still wanted to confirm the truth." Follow me," Long Bo said. Meanwhile Taiyi was at a cruel point in his breakthrough. At this moment he found himself in a chaotic space. There was a strong suppression on his soul and he felt shackled by many chains trying to force him to give up. At this moment a soft voice whispered besides him." Taiyi, why struggle so much when I can give you everything you need? Power, wealth I will let you have it all so why must you allow yourself to suffer so much?" The voice asked. To Taiyi the voice felt warm and truly showed great care for him ready to grant him anything he wanted. Taiyi almost had an urge to give up but that was when a memory buried deep down flashed in his mind. At that moment he woke up from his stupor and stared at the owner of the voice but he could not find the source of the voice so he did not continue searching for it. Memories flashed in his mind as he remembered the conversation that he had with his brother before." Brother, I don't know of what will happen in the future but I am afraid that I might not he able to successfully pass this last challenge. Aa for the consequences of failure I am not sure of it but I want you to always stay true to your heart," the divine emperor had then said to Taiyi. Taiyi was puzzled as he could not fully comprehend his brother's words. After that he spent a long time traveling and only came back to the heavenly realm when he heard about his brother's demise. He was heartbroken at that time but when he went to his brother's palace he found a clone left behind by his brother. Taiyi wanted to ask what happened but his brother did not answer so Taiyi understood what he meant." Taiyi, I am afraid that I will leave this burden on you but if you are unwilling you can choose to leave but even then before I allow you to carry this burden you must first prove yourself worthy. I will only ask you three questions. The first question; how much are you willing to give up for the sake of power?" The divine emperor asked." As long as I can protect those that I love then the price doesn't matter," Taiyi had replied at that time. He did not know if his answer was the correct one but he knew that his answer came from his heart. "Good. I won't try to change your principles but I only ask you to never forget yourself in this long and arduous journey of cultivation. If you have decided then pay a visit to the emotion severing cliff. My second question; will you sacrifice your loves ones for power or will you choose to lose all that power and die? "The divine emperor's clone asked as it scrutinised Taiyi but he found that he was always calm." What is the use of that power if I have no one to use it to protect? I am not some beast that won't even spare its siblings and mated," Taiyi said." What if...," the clone wanted to ask but it stopped itself from speaking leaving Taiyi puzzled. Ever since he met the clone it has been avoiding the topic concerning the death of the main body." Haah! Heavens is indeed unfair. Taiyi never let yourself be at the mercy of others. My last question: can you win?" The divine emperor asked after a heaving a sigh. Taiyi did not understand what he meant but he was guessing that he was speaking about his enemies. Taiyi just nodded his head with a forced smile on his face." Taiyi, my dear brother, I am sorry that I have to leave early. The worst type of enemies in this world are not those that you consider foes rather they are those that you call brothers. They are people who can destroy you because they know you and know your weaknesses so if you have a choice then follow the no emotions path and if possible don't get involved in silent fights. These are fights that take place in the heart and they are the hardest to win," the divine emperor had said. After researching for so many years Taiyi was finally able to come up with a few clues that led to someone whom his brother considered his confidant but it was as I'd this person was hidden and nothing could be traced so he was more like a ghost. At this moment Taiyi remembered his promise and opened his eyes to stare at the vast space before him." I. C.A.N..W..I..N.," Taiyi said each word forcefully and a strong will that seemed ti be able to withstand everything and seemed to be able to defy anything and everything manifested itself. After that the voice disappeared and Taiyi found himself still on the emotion severing cliff. He had just faced off against the heart trial but that was not the whole of it and Taiyi knew it. His brother was right about one thing, the hardest fight to win was always one to deal with the heart as you don't k ow when your heart will betray you. Taiyi once again lost his consciousness only to find himself back in the mortal realm. At this moment he found himself dressed in plain clothes and he was in the medicine valley of the mortal realm. This was the place where he had left his daughter after stating with her for many years and accompanying her as he travelled the mortal realm with her. Thinking of these memories brought a smile to Taiyi's lips. After the smile appeared on his lips he just closed his eyes and after a few minutes he found himself standing before Tie Ling but he could not touch her. He could see her but she could not see him. He spent many years staring at her. Hw watches her grow and many times he even protected her against many dangers." I can give you all of this. I can make it all happen," the same voice sounded out again. Taiyi just smiled at this and did not plan to answer." I can make all of this come true as long as I am strong enough. Stronger than you," Taiyi said with a smile on his face. He just smiled at his daughter and at that moment he felt his dragon bloodline suddenly boiling. He felt as if he had established a connection with someone which meant that a new white dragon with the same bloodline purity as him have been born or that his daughter's bloodline have been awakened. He smiled at this before he closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes there was a smile on his face which meant that he had succeeded in passing the test. His daughter had indeed became a weakness of his but thinking about it did not make him feel uncomfortable rather he seemed to be in a good mood. For the first time in a long time Taiyi had the sound of something beating in his chest. He had long thought that his heart was dead but today he actually felt his heart beating so a smile appeared on his face.
