True Martial World - Chapter 957: Gui Huazi

Sou!

Streams of light quickly vanished outside the cruiser's window, revealing a nebulous mist.

"This is the final spatial transference. The Oracle Fey Kingdom is in that nebulous region." Elder Duanmu said as he looked out of the window.

Yi Yun nodded. He knew that the Oracle Fey Kingdom was located in an ancient self-standing space. And that space was in this region.

They had rushed from the Primordial Empyrean Heaven, spending a great deal of time travelling.

Before they left the Primordial Empyrean Heaven, they were informed about the event being held at the Oracle Fey Kingdom.

Luo Huo'er did not wish to compete for a spot as an in-name disciple of a Divine Lord, but there were a few warriors from the Luo clan that headed to the Oracle Fey Kingdom.

"We managed to get here in time… " Elder Shi said. He was a reticent person and he did not speak much on the journey from the Primordial Empyrean Heaven.

Now, as he looked at the nebulous region outside, he reflected and said, "The last time I came to the Oracle Fey Kingdom was a few hundred thousand years ago. I wonder if there will be a chance for me to step foot on this land the next time… "

A chance?

Yi Yun was somewhat confused. Elder Duanmu said, "After he returns to the Primordial Empyrean Heaven this time, Elder Shi will be in reclusion to break through to become a Supremacy. Accompanying you out here is a way to tie things up. He is trying to adjust his mind."

Yi Yun understood everything from hearing this. Elder Shi was entering reclusion till his death.

Elder Shi had been in reclusion in the Primordial Empyrean Heaven for hundreds of thousands of years in preparation for his breakthrough. Unfortunately, Elder Shi had failed to succeed.

"Senior Shi... is planning on entering reclusion to his death?"

Yi Yun was somewhat puzzled. He was about to break through to the Dao Manifestation realm soon, and after the Dao Manifestation realm, it was the Dao Palace realm. Above the Dao Palace realm was the realm of Supremacies.

Elder Duanmu and Elder Shi were both in the Dao Palace realm.

It sounded like they were only two realms away from Yi Yun, but the Dao Palace realm itself was highly disparate. Warriors at the same Dao Palace realm could not be compared with each other at all.

Warriors at the Dao Palace realm were not demarcated with a beginning, middle or late stage. Instead, they would establish a Dao palace in their bodies, with floors as their goals. The highest floor that a Dao palace could reach was nine floors.

If one had a nine-floor Dao palace, it was almost certain that they would become a Supremacy.

Warriors with eight-floor Dao palaces had lifespans that reached eight million years. According to such a lifespan, Elder Shi was not considered to be too old. Yi Yun felt that Elder Shi did not need to be in such a hurry to enter reclusion to his death.

At that moment, Elder Duanmu said, "Everyone's limit is different. Some people might only be able to construct a single-floor Dao palace, but there are others who can construct a nine-floor Dao palace. I have yet to reach my peak, but Elder Shi has already reached it. He has stopped at an eight-floor Dao palace and he has not improved for hundreds of thousands of years. If it goes on, his strength will not only fail to improve, it would slowly go into a downtrend as a result of his age. And to break through to the realm of Supremacies, everything has to reach the peak and proceed with the available momentum. It is extremely difficult to break through to the realm of Supremacies with an eight-floor Dao palace. It is a struggle with one's life. Upon failure, one would be reduced to dust. Therefore, there are some Dao Palace-realm warriors who know that by doing so means abandoning the path to go further, they would not dare to make the breakthrough." Elder Duanmu explained.

On one side was a lifespan with eight to nine million years, while the other side was death upon failure.

If a man in the morning hears the right way, he may die in the evening without regret. It was too difficult to become a Supremacy. Yi Yun reflected upon this.

At the same time, Yi Yun looked at Elder Shi and he felt like sighing. This elder, who looked high and mighty to the younger generation of Luo clan disciples, was facing the hard choice of life and death.

On the path in pursuit of the peak of martial arts, he was equally tiny.

And this time, Supremacy Gulan was accompanying them as well. Although he had become a Supremacy, there was a large rift that separated him from a Divine Lord.

The entire Luo clan had not produced a Divine Lord in hundreds of millions of years. It was obvious how hard it was to become a Divine Lord.

As Yi Yun thought about this, a sense of grave danger suddenly enveloped him. It was like a dark shadow had been cast on his mind. Sweat inexplicably oozed out of Yi Yun's back.

What happened!?

Yi Yun spread his perception out and he noticed that silently in the nebulous mist around his surroundings, a black hand had stretched out, grabbing at the spirit cruiser.

This large hand shuttled through the stars and it was even able to mask the luster of the starlight on the spirit cruiser.

Such terrifying power could instantly crush the spirit cruiser into pieces with a grab!

Yi Yun, who was inside the spirit cruiser, had already seen the large hand. The large hand gave him an overwhelming feeling that he could not resist.

Who!?

A black hand had sealed the space around them, isolating them from the world around them. The isolated space seemed to be shattering. This grab would not only shatter the spirit cruiser, it would even cause the space to explode as well!

Not only Yi Yun himself, even Elder Duanmu and Elder Shi, who were beside Yi Yun, had a drastic change in expression. Even they could not withstand this strike!

At that moment, Yi Yun felt a strong sense of fatal danger!

At this point, the bow of the spirit cruiser was covered in a brilliance of light. Simultaneously, a figure flew out of the bow. He was dressed in azure-colored clothes and he held a broadsword. He slashed down at the large hand!

Bam!

The hand quaked as it disintegrated partially in the void. But very soon, it returned to its normal state. Its fingers moved lightly, drawing out a symbol of a phantasm, sealing the space firmly!

"Gui Huazi!"

The azure-clothed figure stood with the sword in his hand as his body exuded a terrifying aura. His brow wrinkled.

From the nebula came a sinister-sounding voice. "Gulan, it's been a while."

The sword-wielding figure was naturally Supremacy Gulan. To traverse the Primordial Empyrean Heaven, a Supremacy was needed to power the spirit cruiser. And since Yi Yun was coming to the Oracle Fey Kingdom, Supremacy Gulan had accompanied Yi Yun. After all, there was a fear of accidents for such a long journey. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

And now, an accident had really happened. Gui Huazi was a Supremacy from the Fey Phantasm Sect!

Supremacy Gulan said with a cold voice, "Gui Huazi, as a Supremacy, you actually want to assassinate a junior? Are you only worth that much?"

Gui Huazi did not respond to Supremacy Gulan's ridicule. The nebulous gasses stirred as the large black hand vanished. A gray and thin figure slowly emerged. He had six arms that hung softly from his body. His body was bent and he looked extremely weird.

His pupils were green as his eyes penetrated the spirit cruiser and his gaze landed directly on Yi Yun.

Yi Yun immediately felt like he had fallen into an ice cavern. The gaze was like a dark hole that would devour him.

"Not bad. Much better than those disciples from the Cloud Trail Empire. Eh, his mind is pretty strong as well? Very good. His soul shall be devoured by me. It would definitely be a delicious tonic!"

When Yi Yun heard Gui Huazi's voice, it was echoing in his mind like a demon's whisper.

He was someone from the Fey Phantasm Sect, here to assassinate him!

Previously, they had killed all the Cloud Trail Empire geniuses who were undertaking the trials. Now, he was being targeted!

A Supremacy of a faction would consider their reputation, and they would not attack juniors. However, Supremacies of the Fey Phantasm Sect would not consider this at all!

Gui Huazi may not be able to kill Supremacy Gulan, but if he wanted to kill Yi Yun, it would be much simpler. After all, it was much easier to kill than to protect!

True Martial World - Chapter 956: The Competition for Disciplehood

In the vast cosmos, a spirit cruiser was mid flight.

The spirit cruiser had reached a nebulous zone before it was devoured by the sudden appearance of a black entrance.

The ancient self-standing space inside the black entrance was where the core of the Oracle Fey Kingdom in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven was. Legends said that at the formation of the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, an Ancient Fey had died, leaving behind the world that was in its body. After a long period of time, the world had transformed into a space.

In the ancient space, there was a large floating island, with several small islands surrounding it. These islands were where people of high status lived in the Oracle Fey Kingdom. There were restrictive rings around the area, preventing people from approaching them.

And on the large floating island, there was the vast and bustling Fey empire. In the middle of the Fey empire stood more than ten large towers, with surging martial intent exuding from them.

Chi Zhuiyun lived in one of the towers. Ever since he had lost to Yi Yun in the Luo clan, he had entered reclusion inside the tower.

People would come to visit him, either to comfort him or to gloat, but Chi Zhuiyun did not meet them.

Yu Tianfeng came to the tower's entrance and he transmitted his voice to the tightly-closed door, "Do you still plan on attaining a higher level of martial arts, or do you plan on always losing to Yi Yun?"

Just as Yu Tianfeng said this, the door opened.

Chi Zhuiyun stood at the door and while looking at Yu Tianfeng, he said, "Yi Yun is no longer my goal. My goal is my own martial path."

He had thought through it. There were heavens beyond heavens, and people beyond people. Even if he did not lose to Yi Yun, he would have lost to someone else.

Yu Tianfeng was surprised before he shook his head. "I came to tell you that all hope isn't lost for you to become Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple."

Chi Zhuiyun's expression changed.

He no longer treated Yi Yun as his opponent, but he obviously still wanted to become a Divine Lord's disciple. That was his greatest regret.

"Felicitous Rain Lord is about to leave the Oracle Fey Kingdom. He has failed to recruit a personal disciple, but he has agreed to the Oracle Imperial Patriarch to expand his recruitment by taking in a few in-name disciples," said Yu Tianfeng.

In-name disciples?

Chi Zhuiyun's eyebrows pricked up. A Divine Lord might only have a few personal disciples, but in-name disciples could number in the hundreds or thousands. Divine Lords that lived especially long might even have in-name disciples who die of age, resulting in them having tens of thousands of in-name disciples in total.

A person like Felicitous Rain Lord had only become a Divine Lord for tens of thousands of years, but the number of in-name disciples that he had was already in the dozens.

"Don't underestimate in-name disciples. A Divine Lord's in-name disciple is comparable to the top geniuses of a large faction. Furthermore, by working for a Divine Lord, their status would not be low. Most importantly, there is a chance of becoming a personal disciple by becoming an in-name disciple!" Yu Tianfeng said as he could tell what was on Chi Zhuiyun's mind.

A Divine Lord's personal disciple could sometimes be chosen from his in-name disciples.

"In the disciple recruitment this time, in-name disciples of Felicitous Rain Lord will be coming, so they can compete for a spot as a personal disciple," said Yu Tianfeng.

Felicitous Rain Lord's choosing of personal disciples was done through a selection throughout the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven. Therefore, his in-name disciples were naturally eligible to compete for it.

"A chance to become a personal disciple!"

Chi Zhuiyun's eyes lit up.

"It's not possible for the Imperial Patriarch to block the spread of the news, and now, there should be geniuses from various large factions coming here. However, with your strength, in addition to you having gained Felicitous Rain Lord's approval, it should not be a problem for you to become an in-name disciple."

Yu Tianfeng still had a grudge with Yi Yun. Chi Zhuiyun had gained Felicitous Rain Lord's approval, and if not for Yi Yun's putting his foot out, causing Chi Zhuiyun to miss the chance of becoming a personal disciple, Chi Zhuiyun would not have to compete to become an in-name disciple.

Now, with the one year finishing, the surprisingly difficult requirement was not something that Yi Yun could accomplish, even if he had three heads and six arms. It was not so simple to become a personal disciple of a Divine Lord.

...

The news of Felicitous Rain Lord's recruiting in-name disciples quickly proliferated throughout the alliance!

In the coming days, there were spirit cruisers that constantly arrived at the ancient self-standing space.

The capital of the Oracle Fey Kingdom was immediately where many geniuses gathered.

There were geniuses from large factions who were gathered in the restaurants and tea shops every day. Yi Yun's name would be mentioned from time to time.

"Perhaps, Yi Yun from the Luo clan might come as well." A warrior said.

"To compete for a spot as an in-name disciple? That's very possible!" Another warrior said. They had heard that Fairy Ningshuang had listed the requirements on Felicitous Rain Lord's behalf. The requirements were prohibitively difficult. Even a genius like Yi Yun could not meet the requirements.

"He has no chance of becoming a personal disciple, but the chance of becoming an in-name disciple obviously cannot be missed. If he comes, wouldn't our chances of becoming in-name disciples become slimmer?" Another warrior shook his head with a wry smile.

After coming, they realized that the spots as in-name disciples of a Divine Lord were also extremely sought after. Top geniuses had come, and even Chi Zhuiyun was participating in it.

However, they did not leave either. Since they had already come, they might as well take the opportunity to watch the recruitment. It was possible for them to gain insights from the performance of top geniuses.

"The requirements that Fairy Ningshuang mentioned to become a personal disciple are impossible to complete."

"That's right. Even Yi Yun could, it's really too demanding."

While these warriors were conversing, they suddenly heard a cold snort. "A few frogs in a well. How can Martial Aunt Ningshuang be maligned by people like you?"

This voice made the geniuses who were drinking wine frown. They were geniuses from various countries as well. So how could they be ridiculed? They immediately took an angry glance.

The snort came from one of two black-robed warriors who wore jade bands on their heads. One of them had long hair, with two white horns on his head. He was sneering as he looked at the warriors.

The warriors looked at them with frowns on their faces. It was unknown what faction those two people came from. The clothing that they wore was something the warriors failed to recognize. They could only see the profound patterns on the jade bands.

"Only shallow people will think that others can't accomplish what they can't do." The warrior with the horns on his head said with a tone of arrogance.

"Such impressive blowing of one's own trumpet, aren't you afraid that the wind will get too strong and cut your tongue? Try accomplishing it for me to see!" Anger flashed on warrior's face as he retorted. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"My Senior Brothers, Song Wuchen and Tian Xun, would be able to accomplish it." The warrior said lightly.

Song Wuchen? Tian Xun?

The warriors present looked at each other. They had never heard any of those names before.

"Junior Brother Zhang, why do you bother to talk to them?" said the warrior beside the horned warrior. "At the recruitment meeting, they will naturally know that Senior Brother Song Wuchen would definitely be able to be promoted to a personal disciple! These people actually believe that Martial Aunt's requirements were given to Yi Yun, but Yi Yun is just the number one genius of a tiny country, so how can he be worthy to be given the requirement by her? Martial Aunt Ningshuang's requirements were originally given to Senior Brothers Song Wuchen and Tian Xun."

The two warriors continued to speak, completely ignoring the dirty looks from the other people in the restaurant.

"Let's go. It's just a bunch of people dreaming to ascend to the heavens in a single step. In my point of view, Yi Yun and Chi Zhuiyun can only barely become in-name disciple. They can forget about becoming a personal disciple!"

The youth who spoke left behind a relic and left.

"Promoted to a personal disciple? They called Fairy Ningshuang Martial Aunt? Could... they be Felicitous Rain Lord's in-name disciples!?" A warrior suddenly said in shock.

After Felicitous Rain Lord came to the Oracle Fey Kingdom, he lived on one of the independent floating islands. There were heavy restrictions placed around it. But now, the recruitment meet was chosen to be held at the Oracle Fey Kingdom's capital to prevent the gathered geniuses from disturbing Felicitous Rain Lord. The disciples that lived on the independent islands with Felicitous Rain Lord naturally came to the royal capital as well.

With that said, the two people were most likely Felicitous Rain Lord's in-name disciples. The Song Wuchen they mentioned was likely one of Felicitous Rain Lord's in-name disciples as well.

These warriors quickly looked in the direction that the two had left in, but the two had taken two steps into the crowd before vanishing, with no traces of them being left behind.

True Martial World - Chapter 955: Before one's heart reduced to mediocrity, Great Dao lies within one's heart!

In the nebulous Primordial Empyrean Heaven, the Luo clan's special spirit cruiser underwent a series of spatial traversals. With space suddenly fluctuating, it appeared above the Luo Divine Hall.

When the doors opened, Yi Yun walked out of the spirit cruiser. The last time he had done this, he had imitated the Shadow Twins's footwork, allowing him to find his footing in the space with chaotic laws. But this time, he simply stepped forward, and every step he made would produce a ripple.

A bearded old man with a stoic face had already been waiting for him.

"Elder Duanmu." Yi Yun said with a bow.

"I have already been informed." Elder Duanmu sized Yi Yun up for a moment before saying, "You have improved once again since the trials. Not bad."

Elder Duanmu knew that Yi Yun's talent was outstanding, but he never expected that Yi Yun would be able to attain such achievements. Yi Yun was really a person who constantly created pleasant surprises.

It was indeed difficult to become Felicitous Rain Lord's personal disciple, and even the present Yi Yun had minute hopes of being one.

"The Primordial Space has already been prepared for you. You have a year's time. Let's go." Elder Duanmu led the way by flying towards the Luo Divine Hall.

When no one came to participate in the trials, the Luo Divine Hall would be like an ancient monument lying dormant in a forgotten world, it exuded an ancient and bleak aura.

The Elders of the Luo Divine Hall were in reclusion for tens of thousands of years. In order to pursue even great heights in martial arts, they had to endure a lot.

Yi Yun reflected over it as he arrived at the Primordial Space with Elder Duanmu.

"Go ahead and start your reclusion."

"Does he want to condense his Dao Domain in a year's time?" It was unknown when Elder Shi appeared beside Elder Duanmu, as he asked while looking at the gigantic doors that sealed Yi Yun within the Primordial Space.

"That's right. Senior Brother, what do you think of it?"

"That child is very ambitious. If he wants to condense an ordinary Dao Domain, it obviously wouldn't be difficult, but how can the Dao Domain that he wants to condense be anything ordinary? A year's time is too short. Furthermore, he now has a year's time breathing down on his neck, so the tension makes it even harder."

"I have seen too many geniuses throughout my life. They set high ambitions for themselves, but they end up failing to achieve them. They only want to gain insights into the Great Dao, and show disdain to the lesser Dao, but... during their meditations, they end up being led astray! To a warrior that gains insight into the worldly Dao, it is very common to deviate in the meditation process. Some people might even realize that their insights were wrong after many years, and that price paid for that would be terrible!"

Gaining insights into the laws and going astray wasn't that terrifying. The most terrifying thing was not knowing that one had gone astray! That would be dangerous!

For a young genius like Yi Yun, there was no time for delays!

"Senior Brother, do you mean that Yi Yun might go astray?"

"There is a possibility... I'm just afraid of it happening." Elder Shi shook his head. "With his talent, it is very out of the ordinary for him to not have gained insights into his Dao Domain after so much time. Even a pure Yang Dao Domain should have been condensed by now."

Geniuses were prideful people. A top genius like Yi Yun would only have higher ambitions, but at times, that was not necessarily the best thing. What Dao Domain did he want to condense? A Pure Yang Dao Domain? A Dao Domain of the Sword?

Mastering one Dao Domain would also result in enormous combat strength. For example, Chi Zhuiyun's Shura Dao Domain was the condensation of his killing intent and will.

"It's pointless for us to fret here. Let's wait and see what happens in a year’s time." Elder Duanmu said.

A year's time was like a snap of the fingers to them.

In the Primordial Space, Yi Yun arrived in front of the Purple Crystal Fey God Stone once again.

This time, there was an even more obvious resonance between him and the Purple Crystal Fey God Stone. It had a feeling like their lifeblood was connected.

Yi Yun faced the Purple Crystal Fey God Stone and he reached out his hand to touch it.

Boom!

Like he had instantly opened a door, Yi Yun's eyes glazed over as he arrived in a mental world.

This time, the man or the red lotus woman were not seen in the mental world.

There were only countless nomological fragments constantly shuttling through it.

In the space, there were only nomological fragments, and the rest was all Chaos.

Yi Yun reached his hand out and gestured with it, causing a small nomological fragment to fly towards him. Following that, more nomological fragments flew towards Yi Yun like a flurry of snow.

The first Dao pattern was completed, and immediately, the space had its first law.

As he continued to construct them, the nomological fragments were constantly being condensed into Dao patterns.

Yi Yun was immersed in his actions, while his mental energy was constantly being drained.

Soon, the entire 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence was condensed by Yi Yun.

The long-haired man in the Purple Crystal had formed a world with his spear, before shattering the world. Following that, he had merged the entire world's laws into the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence.

This was the Dao of Destruction, and it was even more powerful than Minor Destruction.

In the trial before, Yi Yun had attempted to copy the long-haired man's methods and he had used the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence to help condense his own Dao Domain, but he had failed.

In the process of condensing his Dao Domain, Yi Yun felt something unharmonious. This snag was something that he never managed to resolve.

And in the battle with Chi Zhuiyun, Yi Yun had gained new insights as to where the feeling came from.

Looking at the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence, Yi Yun quietly stared at it. Suddenly, his eyes flashed with a beam of light.

He pulled out his broken sword and slashed at the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence!

"Ka-cha!"

The 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence had shattered, and it was reduced to countless nomological fragments!

This was not the Dao that he was pursuing!

The 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence was the long-haired man's life-long martial technique, and there was no doubt with its profoundness!

However, that was the long-haired man's Dao. Although Yi Yun had learned the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence, he had learned it through mimicking it. It was not his own understanding.

By copying the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence exactly, he had learned a martial technique. But regardless of how profound it was, it was only that and nothing more.

Once he was restricted by this, how could he form his own Dao?

Yi Yun brandished the broken sword and he shattered the flying Dao patterns. He tore them apart and reconstituted them from destruction!

The 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence had been completely shattered into tiny nomological fragments!

Ka-cha!

In Yi Yun's mind, it was like there was a membrane that obstructed him, but it was shattered by the pure Yang broken sword.

There was still a year's time for him to go over the eighteen years of insights!

A light flashed in Yi Yun's eyes as he faced the countless random nomological fragments that appeared once again. Yi Yun thrust his sword out.

The sword had destroyed, and what he wanted to condense was Destruction.

This was Yi Yun's Sword of the Will, which represented Yi Yun's martial heart and his obsession!

He wanted to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts and go even further!

Before one's heart reduced to mediocrity, Great Dao lies within one's heart!

Coming from the Cloud Wilderness and traversing through space, he had arrived in the wider 12 Empyrean Heavens.

From an ordinary mortal to a Heaven Ascension realm warrior, I can go even further.

Lin Xintong, I will find you.

Azure Yang Lord, I will avenge you.

Sword beam after sword beam, they appeared like snowflakes, lighting up the entire space!

Nomological fragments began to condense amidst the sword beams, condensing in a completely different way from the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence.

Yi Yun did not even think about how he was going to condense them. He slashed out freely as his heart willed, a heart of the sword.

In the sword beams, Yi Yun emptied his body and soul, as he felt free.

He felt like he was in a vast world, enjoying the process while engaging in swordplay!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The swishing of the sword produced sounds that resembled war gongs or thunder.

He had brandished his sword countless times, not knowing how much time had passed.

He was repeatedly drained of all his energy, but every time that happened, the Purple Crystal would palpitate along with his heart, absorbing the energy in the world, nourishing Yi Yun's limbs and body along with his blood vessels.

The sounds intensified as they increased in both amplitude and frequency!

Yi Yun's body was drenched with sweat as he was on the verge of his limit.

Boom!

All of the sounds suddenly stopped.

Yi Yun's sword came to a stop as he looked straight. At the tip of his sword, there was an esoteric circular pattern that was gradually revolving.

Sou!

With the sword tip stabbing at it, the circular pattern exploded. Beneath Yi Yun's feet, countless Dao patterns appeared as golden light circulated around him!

Within the golden flames, Yi Yun felt like he was undergoing rebirth from the flames. A long screech came from behind him as the Golden Crow totem appeared, spreading its enormous golden wings apart!

In the flames, Yi Yun's eyes seemed to have an additional hint of gold in them.

The entire mental world apparently could not withstand his aura as it began to tremble.

With a cracking sound, space was shattered as Yi Yun was sucked into the turbulence of time and space as he flowed along with it…

...

Time passed as cultivation knew nothing of time. In the Primordial Space, Elder Duanmu and Elder Shi had once again appeared in front of the hall's door.

A year's time was extremely short in the quiet and dead world. It was like a snap of the fingers.

True Martial World - Chapter 954: Yi Yun’s Dao Domain

After Shui Ningshuang said this, a shadow began to envelop her, starting from her feet. Following that, her figure blended into the shadow as the shadow rapidly converged, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye.

The ground was left empty like nothing had been there previously.

Seeing Shui Ningshuang disappear, the palace hall fell into silence. Many people looked at Yi Yun.

Some frowned, while others felt a sense of regret. There were also people from other factions who were gloating at the turn of events.

"Fairy Ningshuang is simply being difficult." Someone from the Luo clan said unhappily.

"Do you think Fairy Ningshuang is someone that you can disparage?" A dignified voice resounded. The person who spoke was the Third Imperial Uncle. "This time, Felicitous Rain Lord is planning on taking in a personal disciple and it involves the inheritance of the 'Ten Thousand Fey Divine Canon', so it's natural for his standards to be very high! Don't forget that a Divine Lord's lifespan is extremely long. Felicitous Rain Lord hasn't become a Divine Lord for very long. He still has millions, if not tens of millions of years to choose a disciple. There's no hurry at all! Even if he can't find one, it wouldn't matter to him. He can just wait till he meets someone when fate permits it. Quality comes before quantity, in this case, so Felicitous Rain Lord will definitely not lower his standards."

Although the Third Imperial Uncle felt sorry for Yi Yun, he knew that Fairy Ningshuang was definitely not making it difficult for Yi Yun. Instead, by doing so, it revealed how much importance Felicitous Rain Lord placed on his personal disciple. He was truly looking for someone to pass on the mantle to.

With the Third Imperial Uncle saying this, everyone fell silent.

Indeed, a Divine Lord's standards were different from theirs!

A Divine Lord could live for very long, allowing them to traverse countless worlds and see countless geniuses. To them, Yi Yun was already amazing enough, but if he was placed in the vast Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven and over millions of years?

Even someone as amazing as Yi Yun might perhaps be nothing!

Without a Dao Domain, impressive perception or an outstanding bloodline, it was indeed difficult to meet the Felicitous Rain Lord's requirements.

The Third Imperial Uncle said again, "Our Luo clan has existed for a hundred million years. We do not need to sell ourselves short. Yi Yun, do you understand?"

As the Third Imperial Uncle said this, he looked at Yi Yun, apparently afraid that Yi Yun would suffer a setback.

Yi Yun said with a smile, "This junior understands."

After hearing the information provided by Shui Ningshuang, as the concerned party, Yi Yun did not have any wild mood swings. He was extremely calm, and this pleased the Third Imperial Uncle greatly.

By not being easily pleased or depressed, while still having a strong will and a steadfast heart for martial arts, a warrior like him could go even further.

"Little Yun, why are you so calm? Aren't you a little bit disappointed?" Luo Huo'er asked Yi Yun.

Yi Yun shook his head and said, "There's nothing much to be disappointed about. My martial path ultimately depends on myself."

"What you said isn't wrong, but... why haven't you gained insights into your own Dao Domain all this time? I feel that shouldn't be the case with your nomological insights."

With Luo Huo'er asking such a question, many people looked at Yi Yun. That's right, it's too strange that Yi Yun had yet to condense a Dao Domain.

From the Yuan Opening realm, warriors began to grasp laws and by the Dao Manifestation realm, the laws would condense into Dao fruits, it was a qualitative leap.

Yi Yun's laws were outstanding, to begin with, so how could he lag behind his peers?

"There are some problems that I haven't managed to figure out… " Yi Yun's response tightened the hearts of the members of the Luo clan. There was indeed a bottleneck?

"This junior wishes to request to enter the Primordial Space once again. Perhaps, my Dao Domain will be completed." Yi Yun said seriously.

Yi Yun had yet to condense a Dao Domain. The main reason was that Yi Yun's initial goal was set extremely high. He wanted to condense a Destruction Dao Domain!

The Dao of Destruction was divided into the Minor Dao of Destruction and the Major Dao of Destruction.

Yi Yun did not know which Dao of Destruction that the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence was from, but his intuition told him that it was definitely not as simple as the Minor Dao of Destruction!

If it was the Major Dao of Destruction, it was simply unthinkable.

Condensing such a Dao Domain was understandably difficult.

Yi Yun's attempt was a crazy challenge of course.

If Yi Yun had condensed a Pure Yang Dao Domain during his eighteen years in the Primordial Space, he would have condensed a Pure Yang Dao Domain long time ago.

Pure Yang was also a Great Dao law. A Pure Yang Dao Domain would be more powerful than Princess White Fox's Lightning Dao Domain, but Yi Yun did not do so. He placed all his efforts in the Destruction Dao Domain!

Typical warriors only focused on one law, naturally being able to condense a single Dao Domain.

As for top geniuses, they were able to condense several Dao Domains, but they were divided into major and minor Dao Domains.

The first Dao Domain that would be condensed would be augmented by the Heavenly Dao, resulting in it being the most powerful!

However, due to the difficulty of it, even the first Dao Domain condensed by a top genius would typically not be a Great Dao Dao Domain. It would be one of the easier five-elemental Dao, or the Natural Dao.

However, Yi Yun had chosen the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence's Destruction Dao. The difficulty of doing so was imaginable!

However, the Purple Crystal was something that Yi Yun could rely on. Hence, he wanted to attempt such a crazy idea.

Originally, Yi Yun believed that he would be able to condense his Destruction Dao Domain in another three or five years.

However, after the battle with Chi Zhuiyun, Yi Yun had several new insights. He believed that if he returned to the Primordial Space again, he would have a chance of success!

"To the Primordial Space?" Emperor Luo's eyebrows pricked up. The Primordial Space was in the Luo Divine Hall, and the Luo Divine Hall trials had already ended. Yet, Yi Yun wanted to return to the Primordial Space again.

"Yi Yun, you might not know, but to take you to the Primordial Empyrean Heaven now, it requires ten times the amount of World Stones." An elderly courtier of the Luo clan said.

It was not a small figure.

"Oh?" Yi Yun was stunned.

"The Luo Divine Hall trials take place once every sixty years and they last for eighteen years each time for a reason. Because after eighteen years, the barriers to the Primordial Empyrean Heaven would become stronger. Tearing through them would require a greater price." The Luo clan courtier explained patiently. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

He already felt that Yi Yun no longer had the chance to become Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple. Even if he returned to the Primordial Space, so what? The World Stones could not be spent for nothing. They were all resources.

Before Yi Yun said another word, the Third Imperial Uncle said, "Take him there! It's just entering the Primordial Space once. That bit of World Stones is something that our Luo clan can afford. Even if he can't become Felicitous Rain Lord’s disciple, it wouldn't matter. As long as it allows him to become stronger, the expenditure of those World Stones would be worth it."

The Third Imperial Uncle's order was something that no one would refute. Many people from the younger generation of the Luo clan, including Prince Crimson Firmament, were jealous when they heard this. Yi Yun was receiving top treatment. Even Crimson Firmament himself did not receive such treatment in the past!

"Thank you, Senior." Yi Yun said solemnly as he took a deep breath.

He took note of the favor that was bestowed on him.

The insights from the battle with Chi Zhuiyun needed to be digested back in the Primordial Space. As for the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence, he needed to use the Purple Crystal Fey God Stone to verify it again. Yi Yun believed that he would definitely have new insights this time.

True Martial World - Chapter 953: Ten Thousand Fey Divine Canon

Shui Ningshuang's words tightened the hearts of all the Luo clan clansmen present. Could it be that... Yi Yun would not be able to become Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple?

If that was the case, Yi Yun's growth would likely be affected. To the Luo clan, it would be a great loss.

Yi Yun did not speak as he waited for Shui Ningshuang to continue.

Shui Ningshuang sat down and she looked serene. She asked calmly, "Yi Yun, I mentioned quite a bit a while ago, but I did not ask if you intend to become Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple?"

Yi Yun nodded. To a warrior with an extremely long lifespan, there was a wide range of realms to cross. A warrior could take many mighty figures as masters, and it was not considered to be a betrayal of the previous master.

Indeed, Yi Yun had obtained the Azure Yang Lord's heritage in the past, but that was only a tiny portion of what the Azure Yang Lord had learned in his entire life. The most important cultivation technique inheritance was not left behind by Azure Yang Lord.

What Yi Yun learned was the creation by the Azure Yang Lord's confidant, the ancient Great Empress's 'Great Empress Heart Sutra'. To the present Yi Yun, the 'Great Empress Heart Sutra' was already inadequate. He needed a stronger cultivation technique so it could match the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence.

Obtaining the inheritance and obtaining the face-to-face advice from a Divine Lord was completely different. Regardless of how high one's perception was, just cultivating from a inheritance manual still needed one's repeated experimentation and confirmation. Compared to having a master to guide them, they would end up taking more detours and waste more time. There was no need to mention the resources and status that one would gain after becoming a disciple of a Divine Lord. It would be the best protection for Yi Yun, as Yi Yun would not need to feel apprehensive when he faced the Fey Phantasm Sect.

"My master values one's grade in the Dao greatly. To become my master's disciple, it is necessary to condense a Dao Domain at the Heaven Ascension realm. If you do not have a Dao Domain, it is impossible."

"Condense a Dao Domain… " Yi Yun faltered slightly. "A pass is given as long as a Dao Domain is condensed?"

"If it's just an ordinary Dao Domain, it would be meaningless! The reason why Chi Zhuiyun was able to be approved by master was because his Dao Domain was extraordinary. Chi Zhuiyun's Dao Domain had managed to defeat an in-name disciple of my master, thus he was recognized by him."

"In-name disciple?" Yi Yun asked in surprise. Felicitous Rain Lord also had in-name disciples?

"That's right. Master has several in-name disciples. Although my master has never established a faction, he has several followers. Many things could not be done by him alone, so there is a need to delegate the job to others."

Shui Ningshuang's explanation enlightened Yi Yun. The in-name disciples were probably similar to servants. Although they were called servants, they were most likely very talented. It was easier said than done to become a Divine Lord's servant.

"What my master wants to take in is a personal disciple. It is something that an in-name disciple cannot compare to in every aspect. Therefore, the requirements are naturally high. Although you have defeated Chi Zhuiyun, you must have something that can move my master to gain his approval. Master values perception, bloodline and nomological Dao Domain."

"Either your perception is amazing, allowing you to infer from incomplete Supremacy-grade cultivation techniques, or your Dao Domain reaches the same standard as Chi Zhuiyun's, or finally, you possess a pure Ancient Fey bloodline that reaches the standard like that lady over there! If you can meet any two of the three criteria, it would not be a problem to become Master's disciple. If you manage only one, it would be likely that you would gain my master's approval, but it is not a sure thing."

As Shui Ningshuang spoke, she looked at Luo Huo'er. The lady that she referred to was Luo Huo'er. She could sense an extremely rare purity in her bloodline, but Luo Huo'er was a rare genius in the Luo clan. In comparison, Yi Yun's bloodline was far from hers!

As for perception, attempting to infer from an incomplete Supremacy-grade cultivation technique, even if it was a tiny amount, would be extremely demanding!

Finally, the Dao Domain was very difficult as well! Chi Zhuiyun's attainment in his Dao Domain was heaven-defying to begin with. Now, Yi Yun did not even have a Dao Domain, so how could he compete with Chi Zhuiyun?

And worst of all, he needed to accomplish two of the three criteria to ensure a pass. Accomplishing only one could still result in failure!

Such criteria made many of the Luo clan clansmen feel a coldness in their hearts. Yi Yun's bloodline was lacking, and he did not have a Dao Domain. As for perception, it didn't sound like something assuring. The chances of becoming Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple were extremely minute.

Finally... was all that effort for naught?

The people found it difficult to accept such an outcome. Felicitous Rain Lord's requirements were too high!

Even a Divine Lord was so harsh on his selection of disciples!

Shui Ningshuang apparently read the minds of the people as she slowly said, "Master naturally has his reasons for coming up with such a criteria. My master intends to hand his mantle over to the personal disciple he takes in this time. My master possesses the remnant page of the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven's 'Ten Thousand Fey Divine Canon'. I believe that it is no longer a secret… "

When Shui Ningshuang said this, everyone looked at each other and they drew a cold gasp of air.

The remnant page of the 'Ten Thousand Fey Divine Canon'!

When the primordial Universe was first born from out of the Chaos, the twelve Empyrean Heavens slowly evolved. There were mighty primordial figures, who gained insight on the natural laws, slowly establishing martial arts heritages.

The ultimate martial art heritages were regarded by warriors in the twelve Empyrean Heavens as Divine Canons, which were supreme techniques that approached the Heavenly Dao.

Maybe, it was somewhat destined that every Empyrean Heaven produced a Divine Canon that approached the Heavenly Dao at its birth. These twelve Divine Canons were seemingly the natural condensation of the world's Great Dao, just like the Divine Lord Royal Seals, which were naturally formed by every Empyrean Heaven. They had the power of creation!

As for the 'Ten Thousand Fey Divine Canon', it was the Divine Canon that belonged to the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven!

The twelve Divine Canons were cultivation techniques, something that Yi Yun was lacking the most at present. Obviously, Yi Yun wanted to learn it!

Yi Yun knew that the Azure Yang Lord had previously seen remnant pages of the 'Yang God Manual' and the 'Nine Nether Sacred Manual'. But unfortunately, none of the remnant pages had landed in Yi Yun's hands, and he had never seen them before. If not, with the 'Yang God Manual' in his hand, his cultivation speed would have skyrocketed, so how would he always be lacking in energy, causing him to be apprehensive about using the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence?

"It's the 'Ten Thousand Fey Divine Canon'. To think that Felicitous Rain Lord plans on teaching the 'Ten Thousand Fey Divine Canon', it's unknown how many geniuses will go mad for it… "

Even the Third Imperial Uncle sighed. Who didn't want to learn the 'Ten Thousand Fey Divine Canon'? A cultivation technique of that level was too distant for a faction like the Luo clan. If the Luo clan ever possessed the remnant pages of the 'Ten Thousand Fey Divine Canon', it would probably be annihilated as a result of it!

The Third Imperial Uncle looked at Yi Yun and sighed. He felt sorry for Yi Yun.

It was normal for Felicitous Rain Lord to have such high criteria if he planned on taking in a disciple that would be imparted with the 'Ten Thousand Fey Divine Canon'!

However, such a big opportunity was terrible for Yi Yun. In Yi Yun's present situation, it was very unlikely that he would become a disciple of Felicitous Rain Lord.

Shui Ningshuang looked at Yi Yun, seemingly feeling sorry for him. If a Divine Lord were to take in a disciple under normal circumstances, Yi Yun would be barely qualified, but now, he was still somewhat lacking.

"My master will stay in the Oracle Fey Kingdom for about a year. My master's taking in of a disciple will be decided during this period of time. If you think it's possible, come to the Oracle Fey Kingdom."

True Martial World - Chapter 952: Lacking Dao Domain

On behalf of her master to greet the Third Imperial Uncle?

The palace was filled with important figures from the Luo clan and the alliance. They were stunned when they suddenly heard Shui Ningshuang's words.

Regardless of Shui Ningshuang's bearing or the nomological fluctuations around her, they were all stunning. Such a woman's looks and strength were impeccable. She even had a bearing that placed her a cut above the rest, so how could she be willing to be a slave to others?

How magnificent would one be to have a woman slave like her?

Could it be… ?

People began to guess, and this guess left them stifled.

At that moment, the Third Imperial Uncle cupped his hands and said, "Fairy Ningshuang, you must be joking. I can't afford Felicitous Rain Lord's greetings. I should be the one greeting Felicitous Rain Lord."

The Third Imperial Uncle's words affirmed what everyone had in their minds. People drew a gasp. The woman's master was indeed Felicitous Rain Lord!

"Fairy Ningshuang... I recall who she is. Fifty thousand years ago, Fairy Ningshuang had once traversed the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, making a name for herself. However, it was ephemeral, she soon disappeared because she had returned to Felicitous Rain Lord's side and seldom appeared. Rumors say that Fairy Ningshuang was saved by Felicitous Rain Lord when she was still a young girl. Back then, Felicitous Rain Lord had yet to become a Divine Lord. He was impressed by her intelligence and extraordinary constitution, keeping her by his side. Therefore, Fairy Ningshuang has always been a follower of Felicitous Rain Lord, tending to his daily needs. Fairy Ningshuang is extremely clever, so by serving Felicitous Rain Lord, her strength has already reached an unfathomable stage."

Shui Ningshuang was Felicitous Rain Lord's maidservant, so she naturally called Felicitous Rain Lord master. It was not that an impressive woman like her was willing to be a slave, it was because she had gone from an ordinary maidservant to her present stage.

So that was the reason why the Third Imperial Uncle had presided over the national banquet. His invitation of all heroes from various nations was because of Shui Ningshuang's arrival!

With Shui Ningshuang's identity, she naturally could become the star of the national banquet. Of course, Yi Yun was also the junior that the Third Imperial Uncle wanted to introduce to Shui Ningshuang.

"I wonder what Fairy Ningshuang is here in the Luo clan for?" The Third Imperial Uncle asked.

This question was critical.

After Yi Yun defeated Chi Zhuiyun, Fairy Ningshuang's appearance could not help but cause others to have certain thoughts.

This was apparent for the Luo clan clansmen. At that moment, they turned particularly excited as they held their breaths and looked at Fairy Ningshuang intently, waiting for her response. Could Fairy Ningshuang's appearance here imply that Felicitous Rain Lord had intentions of taking in Yi Yun as a disciple?

Shui Ningshuang said with a smile, "My trip here was not my master's intention. My master has been staying in the Oracle Fey Kingdom for the past few days while pondering over the laws. Since I had nothing better to do, Chi Zhuiyun's challenge of all the younger generation of the alliance had sparked my interest, leading me here. After seeing the outcome of Chi Zhuiyun's battle, I was quite pleasantly surprised."

Shui Ningshuang smiled at Yi Yun as she said this.

Yi Yun got up and gave a Shui Ningshuang a bow.

At that moment, Yi Yun had become the focus of the banquet.

Prince Crimson Firmament and Bai Yueqing were both sitting opposite Yi Yun. As they looked at Yi Yun, they felt their hearts turn somewhat sour.

To Crimson Firmament, if Yi Yun could become the disciple of Felicitous Rain Lord, it was a great thing for the Luo clan, but for him, it did not necessarily mean that it was good. This made him feel wry and bitter.

"Fairy Ningshuang, what do you think about Yi Yun?" Third Imperial Uncle asked in an extremely solemn voice.

All these years, the Third Imperial Uncle had been cultivating in the back mountains of the royal palace. Other than the invasion of the Fey Phantasm Sect, very few things could stir him.

"I… do not represent the views of master." Fairy Ningshuang shook her head.

"Fairy, it's fine if it's just your personal opinion." Third Imperial Uncle said. Fairy Ningshuang had accompanied Felicitous Rain Lord for so many years, so she was probably one who knew Felicitous Rain Lord's judgment criteria.

"Yi Yun is not bad!" Shui Ningshuang gave such an evaluation. Before the Luo clan could rejoice, there was a sudden turn in Shui Ningshuang's words. "However, he has a very big problem… "

"What problem is it?"

The members of the Luo clan felt their hearts tighten!

"If I'm not wrong, Yi Yun has yet to grasp his own Dao Domain!"

Dao Domain, Great Dao, Heavenly Dao, Origins. This were the four realms of Dao.

A typical warrior would possess a Dao Domain when they were at the Dao Manifestation realm.

However, for geniuses, it was common for them to have their own Dao Domain at the Heaven Ascension realm. For example, Chi Zhuiyun had a Shura Domain that turned the skies crimson. It enveloped millions of people and shocked everyone!

Felicitous Rain Lord had approved of Chi Zhuiyun because of his Dao Domain.

Without a doubt, Felicitous Rain Lord had placed great emphasis on the Dao Domain.

This represented a genius's perception and nomological attainments. It determined one's future development to a large extent.

However, Yi Yun apparently did not have a Dao Domain.

Third Imperial Uncle frowned slightly and he fell silent.

Quite a number of people in the crowd present were surprised. "Yi Yun does not have a Dao Domain? That can't be!?"

"Gaining insights into a Dao Domain should not be difficult for a top genius. Princess Xue'er had comprehended a Dao Domain more than ten years ago."

Back then, at the Luo Divine Hall trials, Princess White Fox's epiphany allowed her to possess her own Dao Domain. Back then, Yi Yun had already lagged behind her, but he should not have lagged behind her for more than ten years!

Furthermore, Yi Yun's strength was obvious. He could defeat Chi Zhuiyun, so how could he not have his own Dao Domain?

"In response to Fairy's words, this junior indeed has not comprehended a Dao Domain."

With Yi Yun saying this, all the guests were dumbfounded.

He really didn't have one!

Previously, in the challenge that Chi Zhuiyun made, the people who fought all had Dao Domains. Some of the Dao Domains might not have offensive power, but they were still Dao Domains.

Yi Yun did not use a Dao Domain from the beginning to the end, making people believe that Yi Yun's Dao Domain was unsuitable for battle. But now, it was because he did not even have one!

Why was this so? Could Yi Yun have encountered a bottleneck in his nomological insights that he could not break through?

It was obviously better the early one formed their Dao Domain. There was room for future development. By delaying it for so long, Yi Yun's progress was already impaired. If he really had a bottleneck, it would be terrible. Bottlenecks were things that no one could tell when they could be broken through!

This made everyone look at Yi Yun with worried looks.

Especially the members of the Luo clan. They were worried that Yi Yun's weakness in Dao would make him slowly fail to catch up to top geniuses.

After all, the Dao Manifestation realm was extremely important. From Heaven Ascension into Dao Manifestation, Dao fruits had to be condensed. The number and quality of the Dao fruits directly affected his future success!

In the martial world, geniuses who reigned supreme in the Heaven Ascension realm would be slowly be left behind because of their poor Dao fruit qualities. It was not uncommon for them to end up with their potentials being expended. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Even if Yi Yun were to condense his Dao Domain tomorrow, he was already at a greater disadvantage compared to Chi Zhuiyun and others!

Shui Ningshuang nodded. "You are at the Heaven Ascension perfection realm, but you have yet to condense your Dao Domain. It is indeed slow. You are about to step into the Dao Manifestation realm, so nomological insight is extremely important. Without a Dao Domain, the Dao fruits that you condense would definitely be lacking in quality. If this goes on, you might begin to lag behind in the Dao Manifestation realm. It would be very difficult to make up for it!"

True Martial World - Chapter 951: Shui Ningshuang

Yi Yun had defeated Chi Zhuiyun! This news spread like wildfire, and in a few hours, the news of the matter was proliferated throughout the royal capital by the millions of warriors that had seen the battle!

And that was only the beginning. People knew that after Yi Yun defeated Chi Zhuiyun, there was a slim chance that he could become Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple!

Once Yi Yun became Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple, it was truly skyrocketing in a single step. In the future, even Emperor Luo would be respectful to him when they met!

In the coming days, the news of Yi Yun defeating Chi Zhuiyun quickly spread throughout the Luo clan through various channels.

Yi Yun's name reverberated throughout the 196 states.

Many young warriors idolized Yi Yun. His battle with Chi Zhuiyun was recorded on disk arrays, watched by the warriors as a rare collection. It even caused a new craze.

And in the royal capital, when Yi Yun returned to his residence, his entire viscount residence was surrounded by spirit beasts and spirit ships. Visitors from various factions came with many ambassadors bringing gifts. They came in endless droves.

Now, even the top ten factions in the Luo clan, such as the Xushui Ran clan and the Donglin family clan, had their ambassadors visit Yi Yun. All of them had to maintain an attitude of humility. They were not vexed, even if they had to line up without being able to meet Yi Yun.

The gifts filled up several guest halls, but shortly after Yi Yun returned to his viscount residence, he had to leave immediately. The waiting ambassadors did not even get to meet Yi Yun in person, eventually leaving in regret.

At that moment, Yi Yun had arrived at Empress Xuan's Fenghua Palace.

"What? The Third Imperial Uncle has summoned me?"

The Luo clan's Third Imperial Uncle was the pillar of the Luo clan. He was constantly in retreat in the vast spirit mountains behind the royal palace. In his constant reclusion, his exact whereabouts were unknown.

Typically, Emperor Luo was the only person in the Luo clan that could meet the Third Imperial Uncle to inform him of various matters.

And Emperor Luo would only inform the Third Imperial Uncle of important matters that involved the entire Luo clan.

Without a doubt, Yi Yun defeating Chi Zhuiyun was reported by Emperor Luo. This meant that Emperor Luo treated this as an important matter that involved the entire Luo clan.

"Little Yun, I have only managed to meet Imperial Granduncle once. Crimson Firmament did so once as well. Most of the other princes and princesses have not even got a chance to meet him yet! But this time, Imperial Granduncle wishes to host a national banquet himself. Not only does he want to summon you, he wants to convene many important figures in the Luo clan to hold a celebration for you. That is an honor that even Crimson Firmament will be jealous of."

Even Luo Huo'er and Crimson Firmament had only met the Third Imperial Uncle once. It was imaginable how seldom the Third Imperial Uncle showed himself.

Now, him personally hosting a national banquet was completely unprecedented.

"Little Yun, let me tell you. If Imperial Granduncle wants to reward you, be relentless, take all that you can!" Luo Huo'er winked at Yi Yun as she spoke.

...

Today was the day that the Luo clan royal capital ushered in one of the biggest events in the recent ten thousand years!

Just high in the sky, there were numerous flying creatures of massive sizes, as well as spirit cruisers shuttling through the nebula bands.

And their destination was the same — the Luo clan royal palace!

This was the second time that Yi Yun came to the Luo clan's main royal palace. It was located on a high mountain that was connected by a long imperial staircase.

The last time he came here, it was the gathering of the various major factions of the alliance. Ambassadors from various clans had come, with numerous people being present.

Back then, Yi Yun was just one of the many disciples and he was not considered to be remarkable.

But this time, Yi Yun was no doubt the center of attention!

At the moment he entered the main royal palace, all eyes were immediately turned on him!

Yi Yun remained composed. He was dressed in a pale green robe with a sword by his waist, while his hair was tied up with a piece of thread. He had an air that seemed to make him rise up above all others.

In the main palace, there were gigantic golden columns on both sides that had a circumference that was the combined arm spans of several people. On the ground, there were seats that could accommodate thousands of people.

And Yi Yun's spot was impressively in the first row!

Opposite him was a spot where Prince Crimson Firmament sat facing him.

To the warriors of the Luo clan, being able to sit at where Yi Yun sat was the greatest desire in life.

Having rapidly advancing up the social ladder, with him having power and wealth, there were countless beauties who admired him. Everything was at his fingertips!

And how old was Yi Yun?

He was famous at a young age, with countless people who were envious of him.

"So you are Yi Yun." A sonorous voice suddenly sounded from the regal seat.

Yi Yun looked over and on the regal seat sat a white-haired man, but he looked extremely young, like he was a teenager. His aura was unfathomable from where he sat.

The man was also wearing an emperor's robe, but it was slightly different from the emperor's robe that Emperor Luo wore.

As for Emperor Luo, he was sitting on the right hand side.

Was this person the Third Imperial Uncle?

Yi Yun took a step forward and said with a salutation, "This junior is him."

The Third Imperial Uncle's eyes were filled with endless vicissitudes as he stared at Yi Yun for a moment.

Yi Yun felt like he was looking into the mirror as the pair of eyes gazed at him.

Yi Yun remained calm since the Purple Crystal could not be detected by him. Furthermore, the Third Imperial Uncle was only reading his cultivation realm, constitution and meridians. The more sensitive spots, like the heart and soul sea were avoided by him.

Having attained such a realm, the Third Imperial Uncle was also a genius with providence bestowed upon him. He too had his own opportunities, so he guessed that Yi Yun must have obtained certain opportunities, but he naturally would not covet the opportunities of a junior.

If the elders frequently snatched the opportunities of juniors, such a faction was not far from its end. Furthermore, the Third Imperial Uncle knew that he had used up his potential. Most of his lifespan had been depleted, and it was impossible for him to make a breakthrough. The same opportunity in his hand would definitely not be as effective as if it were in the hands of a junior.

"A minor Seamless pure Yang body and Heaven-Devouring Wyrm bloodline. I've also heard that your perception is extremely amazing… " The Third Imperial Uncle spoke. "Perception is also a form of talent. With superb perception, you can go far down the path of martial arts as well."

"Little Yun, my Third Imperial Uncle seldom praises people. It looks like he's very pleased with you." Luo Huo'er transmitted her voice to Yi Yun.

"Is that so? However, your Third Imperial Uncle isn't as I imagined." Yi Yun replied.

"Why? Did you think that he would be some old fogey?" Luo Huo'er giggled. In fact, she was somewhat astonished back when she first met the Third Imperial Uncle.

When Yi Yun looked at the Third Imperial Uncle again, he noticed that he was looking at a shadow in the palace.

When Yi Yun looked over, the shadow suddenly began to distort. Following that, a woman stepped out of the shadow.

The woman looked like a drawing in the beginning, but as she walked out of the shadows, her facial features seemed to suddenly turn clear.

She was a beautiful woman, dressed in a bright red skirt. Her skin was brilliantly fair, and her eyes were like deep and dark pools, exuding a strange air in them.

"Indeed, the aura that I just sensed is the arrival of the esteemed ambassador." The Third Imperial Uncle stood up and said.

Upon hearing the Third Imperial Uncle's words, everyone present was astonished. They also realized that even with the woman standing in front of them, they could not sense her presence.

The Third Imperial Uncle was the only person in the entire palace who sensed the the woman's appearance.

"There's no need to address me in this way. I am Shui Ningshuang." The red-dressed woman took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of the regal throne. "I'm here on behalf of my master to greet the Third Imperial Uncle."
