The next morning, Nezha reported to Aunt Taiyi about his meeting with Ao Lie, including the matter of the special Dragon Scale.
Aunt Taiyi examined the Dragon Scale and, after confirming it was harmless, returned it to Nezha. "Ao Lie is a person whose thoughts are hard to gauge, but this time he seems to have acted with good intentions. This blood pact Dragon Scale can indeed enhance the mental connection; it is a precious treasure of the Dragon Tribe and is usually only given to close loved ones."
"What about the other things Ao Lie mentioned?" Nezha asked. "About the power struggles within the Dragon Palace and the infiltration by the Li Yang Sect?"
Aunt Taiyi's expression grew serious. "These are likely true. I've received similar reports recently; there is indeed unrest within the Dragon Palace. Ao Lie's stance has always been a mystery, but if he is truly protecting Ao Bing, then we might cautiously consider him an ally."
"Also, he mentioned that the truth about the Demon Orb is more complicated than I imagined," Nezha hesitated for a moment before deciding to reveal everything. "What does that mean? Is there something I don't know?"
Aunt Taiyi paused for a moment, her expression turning grave. "There are indeed some things I haven't told you yet because the timing wasn't right. But since Ao Lie has brought it up... the ultimate secret of the Demon Orb concerns its fate."
"Fate?"
"Every generation of Demon Orb bearers ultimately faces three choices," Aunt Taiyi explained slowly. "The first is to fully integrate the Demon Sphere Power into oneself, becoming a demigod, but at the cost of never living a normal life again; the second is to disperse the Demon Sphere Power into the world and return to a mundane existence, but this means the power will be lost forever; the third is to find a successor and pass on the Demon Orb, but this requires a very high degree of compatibility; otherwise, the successor will be obliterated by the immense energy impact."
Nezha's heart sank. "So, I will eventually face these three choices as well?"
"Theoretically, yes, but that is a distant future," Aunt Taiyi reassured him. "What you need to do now is master the Demon Sphere Power and use it to accomplish what you want."
This heavy topic cast a somber atmosphere in the training room. After deep contemplation, Nezha finally raised his head, his eyes shining with determination. "No matter what happens in the future, my only choice now is to fully control the Demon Sphere Power and use it to protect everything I cherish. When the day comes that I must make a choice, I will make the most suitable decision based on the circumstances."
Aunt Taiyi smiled with relief. "This is the attitude I've been hoping to see from you. Now, let's try a higher level of training—'Heartfire Transformation,' which is a prelude to reaching the Xin Yu realm."
In the following days, Nezha dedicated himself to unprecedented rigorous training. Every morning, he would practice basic energy flow control in his dormitory; during regular classes in the day, he utilized free time to read Mo Wan Zhen Jie and absorb knowledge; in the evenings, he would go to the training room on the back mountain for intense training under Aunt Taiyi's guidance.
The training for Heartfire Transformation was extremely difficult; it required condensing internal flame energy into a tangible form and maintaining its stability. After countless attempts, Nezha finally succeeded on the fifth day in forming a Flame Longsword that could last for ten minutes without dissipating.
"Excellent performance," Aunt Taiyi praised him. "Your rate of progress far exceeds expectations. If you keep this up, you will reach mid-level Xin Yu within a month."
Every night before resting, Nezha would attempt to establish contact with Ao Bing through that special Dragon Scale. Initially, he only felt a vague warmth, but as he practiced more deeply, he began to see Ao Bing's figure in his dreams. Although they could not communicate yet, he at least confirmed that Ao Bing was safe.
