Fairy Lei examined Wu Tian, her gaze appearing particularly strange.
After a long while, she asked in surprise,
"Who are you?"
"From you, why do I feel my husband's aura?"
At these words, everyone was stunned, and Wu Tian was also startled.
"Husband?" he blurted out without thinking, "Fairy Lei, have you made a mistake?"
"I don't think I know your husband!"
Lei Wanjun was the first to react and quickly said in a low voice, "It's like this, Sect Master Wu."
"Lord Thunder God is Fairy Lei's husband. Since you are Lord Thunder God's successor, then aren't you..."
As Lei Wanjun spoke, Wu Tian also understood.
So that's how it was.
He never expected that the Thunder God would have a wife, and such a beautiful one at that.
So he said respectfully,
"Fairy Lei, I once met Lord Thunder God in the Thunder God Immortal Realm and inherited his legacy."
"So it's normal for me to have his aura..."
"What did you say?!" Fairy Lei's emotions immediately became agitated.
Her figure suddenly flickered, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared before Wu Tian, then said urgently,
"You've seen him? He's still alive?"
"Then where is he, where is he now?"
Wu Tian was quite frightened by Fairy Lei's actions, almost falling to the ground.
He quickly took two steps back and said, "Fairy Lei, I did indeed meet Lord Thunder God, but Lord Thunder God he..."
Looking at Fairy Lei's expectant eyes, Wu Tian found it difficult to speak for a moment.
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he then briefly recounted the events of the Thunder God Immortal Realm.
After hearing Wu Tian's account, Fairy Lei's radiant eyes immediately dimmed.
Anyone could feel how dejected she was at that moment.
"So that's how it is..."
She said softly.
"It seems he ultimately went to be that great hero..."
Her somewhat wronged voice made Wu Tian's heart clench.
At the same time, a new memory flooded into his mind.
He saw the great battle in the Thunder God Immortal Realm years ago.
The situation at that time had reached a critical point.
Fairy Lei had persuaded the Thunder God to leave the Immortal Realm.
With their combined strength, it would not have been particularly difficult for them to retreat safely.
However, the Thunder God was unwilling to abandon the disciples of the Sacred Thunder Sect, so he teleported Fairy Lei and the others out.
Then, he faced the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor alone.
It seemed that Fairy Lei did not entirely approve of such an action.
This was why she sighed.
Wu Tian had no way to comment on their marital affairs, so he remained silent.
After a long while, Fairy Lei's emotions finally stabilized.
She said softly, "Apart from my successor and my husband's successor, everyone else may leave."
"You are no longer needed for the inheritance that follows."
Upon hearing this, Lei Wanjun and the others did not dare to linger and quickly departed.
Then, Fairy Lei said to Wu Tian, "Since you are my husband's successor, may I see the Thunder God Scepter?"
Wu Tian did not hesitate. With a gentle wave of his hand, the golden Thunder God Scepter appeared in his hand.
Upon seeing the scepter, Fairy Lei's emotions fluctuated intensely once more.
She reached out her trembling hand and gently stroked the scepter.
The Thunder God Scepter offered no resistance; even its light softened considerably.
Clearly, Fairy Lei was also a familiar presence to the Thunder God Scepter.
Fairy Lei said softly, "How many years have passed, and I never thought we would both perish."
"Actually, I never blamed you, but why wouldn't you let me stay and fight together?"
Wu Tian knew that Fairy Lei was speaking to the Thunder God. Although he felt a bit awkward, he still remained silent.
Afterward, Fairy Lei looked at Wu Tian and said, "You're only in your early twenties, right?"
"To reach the level of a Fifth Tribulation Golden Immortal at your age is something I've never heard of."
"Can you tell me how you achieved this?"
Wu Tian answered truthfully, "Because I absorbed the power of the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor."
"Absorbed?" Fairy Lei's gaze became incredulous.
"The demon race and the human race are not the same species at all. How did you convert demonic energy into immortal energy?"
Wu Tian hesitated, then lowered his voice, "Because within me, there is not only Lord Thunder God's legacy."
"Including the power of the Sacred Dragon... is also within me."
This news was a huge shock to both Fairy Lei and Lei Qianjiao.
After all, Wu Tian had never told Lei Qianjiao about this.
Fairy Lei said with disbelief, "So that's how it is, it's truly incredible."
"No wonder he recognized you as his successor."
Speaking of which, she then looked at Lei Qianjiao and said something inexplicable:
"It seems that all of this was destined."
After speaking, she beckoned Lei Qianjiao over and then smiled slightly, "Child, what is your relationship with Wu Tian?"
This question stumped Lei Qianjiao.
She was still upset with Wu Tian and didn't want to answer properly.
But considering it was Fairy Lei, she couldn't just say anything carelessly.
Therefore, she became hesitant.
Fairy Lei, being experienced, immediately saw through Lei Qianjiao's thoughts.
A hint of a smile immediately appeared in her eyes.
She nodded and said, "That's good, that's good."
"Otherwise, I would have been truly worried that you wouldn't be able to accept it."
Lei Qianjiao was puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Fairy Lei, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"This is our own inheritance, what does it have to do with him?"
Fairy Lei shook her head and said, "No, since he is the Son of the Sacred Dragon, then all of this has something to do with him."
"One could even say that today's inheritance is fundamentally serving him."
Lei Qianjiao listened, completely bewildered, while Wu Tian finally understood.
He said in shock, "Fairy Lei, could the inheritance you're referring to actually be... the Sacred Dragon Treasure?"
Fairy Lei looked surprised and said, "What, you know about this?"
Wu Tian nodded, "That's right, I already have a piece of the puzzle within me."
"And I learned about the treasure at that time."
"So that's how it is," Fairy Lei smiled upon hearing this.
"In that case, that successor must have also done that kind of thing with you, right?"
Wu Tian didn't expect Fairy Lei to say this and became somewhat embarrassed, saying,
"Fairy, I couldn't help it. This, not doing it... doesn't seem to be an option, does it?"
