Chapter 492: Stubborn
"Little Arty, I'm ready!"
Little Arty's projection appeared once more.
"Good! Your cultivation is very stable, and your control over your power has no flaws. There will be no problem if you breakthrough now."
Fie's eyes brightened. Without wasting time, she began her breakthrough.
Little Arty had made sure that she understood the entire process perfectly, so he wasn't the least bit worried. He knows how strong she is for her age, so she shouldn't have a problem passing through this Tribulation.
Time passed, and Fie finally finished tempering her Soul with Elemental Source Energy, concluding her breakthrough. Right after, the Tribulation Clouds started to gather above her too.
The Fire Tribulation from Dalin Universe came down and enveloped Fie completely. Her Tribulation was quite strong, but Little Arty had already expected that. Her talent is really abnormal, so the Tribulation has to match her real power.
Still, he was quite impressed with her tenacity.
"Seems like all that training I gave her was not for nothing."
As expected, Fie passed the Tribulation without any big issues. Although she was tired in the end, she didn't receive any serious injuries. Of course, there were quite a few burn marks on her body.
Little Arty then controlled the Godly Energy and quickly healed her body.
"Alright, first rest up a little. Once you are ready, let me know."
Fie nodded and returned to the Small Hut in the distance. Fie slept for an entire day before finally waking up. As soon as she did, she found quite some food that she liked on the table. Without wasting any time, she stuffed everything in her belly.
"Delicious!"
Little Arty's projection then appeared inside the Hut once more.
"How is it?"
Fie nodded, satisfied.
"Really good, I could eat even more!"
"Not the food, idiot! How is your body at the moment?"
"Ah!"
Fie concentrated a little before answering.
"Yeap! I'm completely fine, ready for anything."
"Alright, come out of the Hut, I will test your resistance to the Godly Energy now."
Fie nodded and quickly left.
On an empty space, Little Arty controlled the Godly Energy, increasing it bit by bit.
"If you can resist this amount of Godly Energy, I will send you to the 10th Floor straight away. Your father is there already, hidden in a corner while cultivating. So there is no need to hurry."
Fir nodded and kept accepting the Godly Energy. At the same time, she used her cultivation to resist any extra portion that her body couldn't take. A few minutes later, the Godly Energy around her finally achieved the same level as the 10th Floor.
Although Fie looked quite uncomfortable with that energy, it was a fact that she was somehow resisting it.
"Hum... Although you can do it, you are barely holding yourself. It's better to not send you like that. I will keep the Godly Energy of this place like this for another week. If you can adapt well, then I will send you there. It would be suicide to leave you in that place in this condition."
Although Fie was sad, she couldn't refute Little Arty. She wouldn't be able to do anything the way she is at the moment. But when she remembered that she was so close to seeing her father again, determination filled her mind!
"One week it is! I will definitely get used to it!"
Little Arty laughed a little and then disappeared. He still had one last preparation to do.
A week quickly went by. In the end, Fie's efforts were rewarded. She really got used to that flow of Godly Energy. Although Little Arty was far from satisfied with the current progress, he had to admit that Fie wouldn't be powerless in that place anymore.
"It would be better if you stayed in here a while longer, getting more used to it. Do you really want to go like that?"
Fie immediately nodded.
"I simply can't wait anymore! I want to see father."
Little Arty sighed but agreed in the end.
"Very well, take this."
Suddenly, a small necklace with a rainbow-like pearl on it appeared in front of Fie. As she took that, she couldn't help but love its appearance. It was very much like her own hair and eyes. Not to mention that it also reminded her of Krune. In the very next second, she was already wearing it.
"It's beautiful! I love it!"
Little Arty laughed at her reaction.
"Hahaha! It's good that you like it. This is my gift for you. Make sure to never lose it."
"Now, put a drop of your blood on it. It will be attached to you from now own."
Fie nodded happily. She thought that Little Arty had prepared a defense treasure for her.
The blood quickly fused with it, and Fie could now feel the connection between her and the pearl.
Suddenly, a teleport formation appeared out of nowhere beside Fie.
"Step on the formation, it will teleport you directly into the 10th floor."
Fie nodded before saying.
"Alright, let's go, Little Arty."
Little Arty was taken aback after hearing that, though.
"What are you talking about? This is a teleport formation for you, not me."
Fie's expression immediately changed after hearing that.
"No can do! If Little Arty is not going, then I'm not going either!"
Fie immediately stepped out and stopped right in front of his projection. Her expression was clearly showing how angry she was. It was as if she was ready to even grow roots in that place.
"What you talking about, brat? Just go already, your father is waiting for you. Or could it be that you like my training so much that you can't let it go?"
Fie immediately shook her head.
"Hmph! Who likes to be bullied like that?"
Little Arty laughed once more.
"Then, just go. What's the point in wasting time here?"
However, Fie quickly shook her head even more vigorously.
"Little Arty, you idiot!"
She looked directly at Little Arty's projection, showing a stubborn expression.
"If I go, you will stay alone again. The thing I fear the most in my life is to be alone. Back then, when I arrived in this place, two days without seeing anyone was enough to leave me terrified! You said that this Holy Land existed for thousands of Chaos Cycles, and you had always remained here, without anyone. Just how much frightening was that?"
Fie couldn't hold her tears while thinking about it. She then began to stomp the ground with her feet while saying in a fury.
"If Little Arty doesn't come, then I will drag you with me by force! If I'm not strong enough, I will stay here and train hard until I can do that! I will never leave you here alone again! NEVER!"
Little Arty's soul trembled as he heard that. He doesn't have a body, so he couldn't cry either. However, if he had, he would definitely be doing so now. It was evident that Fie was ready to pass the rest of her life here if necessary.
"Sigh... You can be quite stubborn, can't you?"
Fie immediately jumped in fright after hearing that. That's because the voice did not come from the projection in front of her, but the small bead attached to her necklace. In fact, that projection had utterly disappeared now.
"Little Arty!"
"What? Am I that frightening? Then just throw me away."
Fie's expression instantly changed. She quickly embraced that bead as if it was the most precious treasure that had ever existed. At the same time, tears continued to fall down from her eyes.
"I will never throw you away, I promise!"
Little Arty didn't know how to react at all of that. But he was sure that this was definitely the right decision. Sentoi's Will had selected Fie for him, but ultimately, he was the one to decide if he wanted to go with her or not. Sentoi had made it very clear that he could choose to follow someone or go away by himself.
"Alright, enough with the waterfall! You are soaking me here. Just step on the teleport formation, and I will send you there."
Fie nodded with a smile. However, it was being quite hard for her to stop her tears. Nevertheless, those were happy ones, so Little Arty didn't mind.
"Let's go, I will introduce you to father later."
Just as the world around them warped, Little Arty took one last look at the Origin Realm that had housed him for so long.
'Master, I will definitely meet you again. As long as I'm with her, I believe I can do so.'
