《Forbidden Descent》 Chapter 1 The Kingdom of Fierce Hell... Glass Fire City... Yuancho Tribe : "A great secret? Awakening the source and mastering the world?! What kind of dream was that?" In a luxurious room with four walls made of golden sheets and mysterious carvings, a boy dressed in black was sitting on a large bed. If we were to describe him, we would say he is a noble and supernatural young master. His two-colored hair, soft as divine silk and as cold as water at dawn, flowed like a heavenly waterfall over his noble shoulders. Strands of his golden hair, interspersed with bright silver, adorned his smooth, flawless forehead, adding a special charm to him. His delicate and arched eyebrows were like two divine bridges above his bright and radiant eyes that seemed to reflect light from another world. His smooth and proportional nose, like a tall and flawless dam, separated his beautiful eyes. Just below, his soft, marble-like lips with a shade close to red added a special attractiveness to his face. His skin, whiter than snow and more beautiful than jade, was so captivating that even the most beautiful girls would be envious. He was Yuancho Wujiang, the nineteenth young master of the Yuancho Tribe. When the name of the Yuancho Tribe is mentioned, it can be said that it is admirable. In the Four Kingdoms region, the power of the Yuancho Tribe is one of the top, and therefore, the background of this young man is considered very good. Last night was probably the strangest night he had ever experienced in his entire life. Because that night, he heard ancient whispers that seemed to come from the depths of his being. Yuancho Wujiang was sure that the dream he had last night was not just a dream. Because he felt as if he hadn''t slept and had entered a very mysterious dimensional space. After some contemplation, Yuancho Wujiang decided to put it aside. After all, no matter how much he thought, he couldn''t figure out the source of the ancient whispers. Time will reveal everything. : "Um! What is this?" Yuancho Wujiang discovered a strand of mysterious energy within himself. This energy was both near and far. It was like an infinite abyss that never reached its depth. Yuancho Wujiang had never discovered such a strange and mysterious force within himself until today. [Could this energy be related to that dream? It certainly hadn''t appeared before. If it''s not related to that dream, it is indeed strange.] At that moment, a cold and mysterious voice echoed in his mind. "In response to the host, the new energy is related to the newly awakened constitutional law of the host." Yuancho Wujiang raised his eyebrows in confusion. This voice was very clear, so it couldn''t be considered an illusion. He immediately asked: "Who are you?" The voice he heard was even different from the ancient whispers, so it was new to him. The cold voice echoed in his mind again: "In response to the host, I am the Fate System of the Heavens." This so-called system gave a very short answer that made Yuancho Wujiang even more confused and curious. Yuancho Wujiang frowned and said: "The Fate System of the Heavens? What is that? When did you appear within me? Do you have good intentions towards me? After all, many old monsters possess the bodies of young people with special techniques." What he said was not a lie. In the books of the Yuancho Tribe, these records were mentioned to make the young generation aware of such dangers. Despite his calm appearance, Yuancho Wujiang was very vigilant. The cold voice responded this time with more insight: "In response to the host, there is no need to worry. I have always been with the host. However, because the energy needed for my awakening was not present, I had fallen into a deep sleep. The awakening of the host''s constitutional law provided the opportunity for me to awaken as well." Yuancho Wujiang realized that the tone of the system was milder than before. In a way, he didn''t feel any hostility from this so-called system. But he still couldn''t be careless. However, what caught his attention was the awakening of his constitutional law. As a young master of the Yuancho Tribe, he had a good breadth of knowledge for his age, even if not vast. He was clear about constitutional laws. In the infinite world, a person''s talent is measured based on constitutional laws, bloodlines, soul, or bones. However, constitutional laws are very special, and the possibility of someone awakening a constitutional law is one in a million or even one in a billion. The benefits of constitutional laws are also considered to be very great. For example, consider a person who has awakened a constitutional law. This person will not get stuck in bottlenecks along the path of cultivation and can cultivate to a high level. At the same time, a constitutional law is also a curse. Because it requires a lot of resources for cultivation. Typically, a person with a constitutional law may need ten times more resources than an ordinary person to progress in their cultivation. However, it should be noted that the power of that person will definitely be higher and can even fight someone who is at a higher level of cultivation. This also shows the superiority of constitutional laws. Constitutional laws themselves have a spectrum of classification, and according to Yuancho Wujiang''s knowledge, the most common constitutional law in the Four Kingdoms is of the inferior type. Other levels are very rare, and even holders of inferior constitutional laws have extraordinary fame. Yuancho Wujiang was curious to know what level of constitutional law he had awakened. He hoped that his constitutional law would be at least above the inferior level. Perhaps at least he could dominate the Four Kingdoms. He asked in a calmer and gentler tone than before: "Do you know what constitutional law I have awakened?" Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. The Fate System of the Heavens responded after a brief hesitation: "In response to the host, I must say that your constitutional law is very special. The highest level of constitutional laws is the divine type. However, there is a level even higher than divine constitutional laws, which have been buried in the river of time. The Lost Constitutional Laws! There are only seven of them, and the host''s constitutional law should be the Absolute Negator Body, which is ranked first among the seven Lost Constitutional Laws!" The system''s response contained new information that he had not encountered before. He had heard about divine constitutional laws. However, divine constitutional laws were considered legends in his view. At least the Four Kingdoms were too small to house such geniuses, but now the Fate System of the Heavens told him that his constitutional law was a Lost Constitutional Law, which is even higher than divine constitutional laws. What was even more interesting was that it was ranked first among the Lost Constitutional Laws. Doesn''t this mean from the system''s words that he is like a dragon soaring above the heavens? However, what were those so-called sources and ancient whispers? Could it be that he carried an even greater secret than the Absolute Negator Body? Before he could think more about it, the system''s warning woke him up. : "The host should know that your constitutional law can cause you great trouble, so you need to be careful. Also, I feel dark karma on your body, as if fate is targeting you!" Yuancho Wujiang asked with a frown: "What do you mean?" Dark karma! Fate! He had never paid attention to such things before. Could someone be against him? The Fate System of the Heavens responded: "If I''m not mistaken, the host must have angered a Child of Fate in some way." Yuancho Wujiang asked with a surprised tone: "What is a Child of Fate?" The Fate System of the Heavens explained: "Children of Fate are individuals who seem to have been abandoned by fate, but in reality, they are favored by fate. Unlike others, these Children of Fate have very good luck and fortune that allows them to obtain rare treasures and opportunities, sometimes even heaven-defying ones, that transform their circumstances. They also have so much luck that they can escape desperate situations unharmed and are practically invincible beings." Yuancho Wujiang asked with some concern: "So is it possible that I could die at the hands of a Child of Fate before even achieving anything?" The Fate System of the Heavens replied: "Normally, it is possible. However, since I have awakened, I can help you bypass this dark fate and even devour their luck and fortune!" Yuancho Wujiang asked with some surprise: "Is such a thing possible?" The Fate System of the Heavens responded with clear pride in its tone: "Of course. Why else would I be called the Fate System of the Heavens? But even if it weren''t for me, it is possible that you might not have died at the hands of a Child of Fate!" The last sentence of the Fate System of the Heavens surprised Yuancho Wujiang even more. The more he understood, the more shocked he became. It seemed that each revelation was indicative of a greater secret. ..... Meanwhile, a beautiful girl was walking towards Yuancho Wujiang''s mansion. She was wearing a servant''s uniform, which indicated her social status in the Yuancho Tribe. Her beauty exceeded that of a mere servant, so anyone would genuinely be captivated by her at a glance. Silky black hair with cute braids, a delicate and small face with a slender yet admirable figure. Her large, watery eyes, while looking at the magnificent mansion in front of her, briefly showed a sign of hatred but quickly disappeared. She knew this was neither the time nor the place. So, she tried to remain calm. She was Ke Er, the little servant of Yuancho Wujiang. To be precise, a servant of a lowly young master in a remote and small town! Three months ago, when Yuancho Wujiang passed through that town by chance, he was attracted by her beauty and forcibly took her after defeating her young master. Yes, even though she was here now, in her heart, she was still the servant of that young master who was defeated by Yuancho Wujiang three months ago. During these three months, Ke Er had thought many times about how to kill Yuancho Wujiang and return to the arms of her young master, but she never came up with a proper plan. This is the Yuancho Tribe, the domain of Yuancho Wujiang, and what could a mere servant do? Therefore, her only hope could be her young master. At this moment, a man approached her. This man had the appearance of a guard. He was very ordinary, blending into the background. Ke Er looked at this ordinary guard with curiosity in her large eyes. Before leaving, the guard said calmly: "Little girl, you might have some thoughts now, but rest assured, being by our young master''s side will never harm you." Before Ke Er could say anything, the ordinary guard left. Of course, Ke Er didn''t really care. She thought that this guard must be one of Yuancho Wujiang''s worthless lackeys. She quietly whispered in her heart: "Hmph! Just wait. The day my young master kills that villain is not far off." Gathering herself, she walked towards the magnificent mansion. Chapter 2 : "Nineteenth young master, I brought your breakfast!" As Yuancho Wujiang was thinking about the identity of this Child of Fate and was curious to know exactly whom he had provoked, a sweet voice like a heavenly melody reached his ears. Although the tone of the voice showed outward respect, Yuancho Wujiang could sense the hatred behind it. Normally, in the Yuancho Tribe, everyone treats him with respect and dignity. Even the geniuses and elders are gentle and kind towards him. Regarding the guards and servants, all he had seen was respect! Therefore, it was interesting for Yuancho Wujiang that someone held a look of hatred towards him. Gathering his thoughts, he calmly said, "Come in!" Following his voice and permission, a petite girl entered the hall. Even the servant''s clothing couldn''t hide her beauty and charm. Willow-like eyebrows, large watery eyes like two shining stars, a delicate nose, and jade-like skin! Each feature of her face was beautifully crafted, and a pair of chubby pink cheeks looked so tender and chubby that they made one want to pinch them. This cute and beautiful servant was indeed Ke Er. Her beautiful eyes, when looking at the handsome and attractive young master in front of her, held a trace of hatred. Although she hid this feeling well to avoid provoking the anger and wrath of this evil young master, Yuancho Wujiang could clearly see it. This made him curious as to what exactly caused such hatred in the heart of this cute servant. Yuancho Wujiang, with a small smile, pointed to an empty chair next to the dining table and openly indicated to Ke Er that she could sit there. However, Ke Er, maintaining her composure, only arranged the food prepared by the tribe''s chefs for Yuancho Wujiang on the elegant table. Yuancho Wujiang became even more curious to know who this cute girl really was. So, with the same small smile, he gently asked, "You must be a new servant! What is your name, and where are you from?" Ke Er hesitated for a moment from arranging the food. She felt that the noble and supernatural young master in front of her was trying to play with her. But when she noticed that he was looking at her with curiosity and a questioning look, she realized that he had forgotten the events of three months ago. This made her very angry. Didn''t this mean that Yuancho Wujiang had no regard for her young master? So, to preserve the honor of her young master, she responded with a colder tone than before, "It was you who ruined my good life with my young master three months ago and cruelly abducted me. Could it be that the nineteenth young master has forgotten his own evil deeds?" From Yuancho Wujiang''s perspective, her response was not disrespectful but rather interesting. Honestly speaking, very few people dare to be disrespectful to him, so the courage of this small girl truly amazed him. But at that moment, it was as if a lightning bolt struck him, as if he had realized something. Indeed, he had forcibly taken this small girl three months ago, but that was not important. What was more important was the young master of this lovely servant. According to the Fate System of the Heavens, Children of Fate are those who may have a seemingly ordinary background or a seemingly ordinary but actually mysterious background. Because of their great luck and fortune, they obtain unique opportunities that are enough to transform their lives. [Could it be that the young master of this girl is actually the Child of Fate who intends to kill me?] Yuancho Wujiang''s eyes flickered gently, as if looking for a sign of confirmation. If it were truly so, then it was natural because he had indeed injured that boy with a single palm three months ago. He remembered that individual was nothing more than trash. Therefore, he didn''t pay much attention to it and gradually forgot about it. That''s why he had forgotten the identity of the cute servant in front of him. At that moment, a blue screen that only he could see appeared before his eyes. This blue screen actually provided information about the identity and details of this girl. Name: Ke Er Age: 14 Identity: Servant of the Child of Fate Cultivation: None Talent: Extremely excellent and even astonishing Luck: 5000 The information provided by the Fate System of the Heavens was like a seal of approval on Yuancho Wujiang''s guesses and speculations. [As expected, that boy is indeed a Child of Fate, and this girl is his servant. Interesting!] The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Ke Er was very angry. Even if she were insulted, it didn''t matter, but if her young master were insulted, the person had to pay. At this moment, she truly hoped to cultivate, become stronger, and take revenge for her young master. But at that moment, she heard a question that made her freeze. "Do you hate me?" Ke Er didn''t feel any hostility from Yuancho Wujiang''s gaze. Even though she had disrespected him, he seemed not to care and was looking at her with a smile. But she couldn''t let her guard down because this handsome boy was exactly the one who ruined her sweet life. Even though her young master was nothing more than trash and had no position in his family, she enjoyed being by his side. She always felt that the day would finally come when her young master would rise above the heavens. Seeing that Ke Er wasn''t responding and had a stubborn look in her beautiful watery eyes, Yuancho Wujiang withdrew his small smile, replacing it with an indifferent expression. Seeing his sudden change in demeanor, Ke Er became even more certain that he was only trying to appear kind. Meanwhile, Yuancho Wujiang said deeply, "It doesn''t matter what you feel now. But rest assured, the day will come when you won''t regret being by my side." Ke Er was a bit frightened because she knew that this was the territory of the Yuancho Tribe, and someone like her, who was a mere mortal, could be destroyed with just a gesture. She really didn''t want to be here and only wanted to be with her young master. At that moment, she truly hated herself. If she had any talent and could cultivate, she would have already brought this arrogant boy to his knees. Yuancho Wujiang was sure that Ke Er didn''t care much about his words. He was even certain that she wished to become stronger and kill him. Therefore, he had to find ways to attract her attention and reduce the level of hatred. After all, Ke Er was not only beautiful, and indeed very beautiful, but she also had an excellent talent. Ke Er was just a servant, but she suddenly possessed such an extraordinary talent that it was impossible for her to be an ordinary person. Yuancho Wujiang was no fool, and even when he took her as his servant, it was because he had sensed a special energy from her. Ke Er turned and wanted to leave. She really didn''t want to be here because she felt like a mouse in a cat''s claws. But just as she took a few steps forward, she heard a question that shocked her greatly. : "Do you want to cultivate? I can help you." Ke Er felt like she had heard wrong. She really had no affection for Yuancho Wujiang and even intended to kill him. Although she was incapable of doing so, her disrespectful behavior earlier was enough to express her current feelings towards Yuancho Wujiang. It was strange that he was so kind to her. Could this also be another scheme? Yuancho Wujiang just smiled at Ke Er''s hesitant look. He gently nodded and said, "You can think about it. Just don''t take too long because I might change my mind." Yuancho Wujiang no longer paid attention to Ke Er and busied himself with the food she had brought. The food prepared for him was not simple. It was actually spiritual food containing Qi energy. The Yuancho Tribe paid great attention to the nutrition of their young generation. Spiritual food not only contained Qi energy but also strengthened the flesh and bones of the individual. Therefore, it could be said that it was a valuable type of food. And Yuancho Wujiang''s food was composed of monster meat, spiritual vegetables and fruits, and spiritual tea. It could be said to be very nutritious and, of course, luxurious. ..... Ke Er left Yuancho Wujiang''s magnificent mansion in distress. She was scared right now. Although she didn''t know why, she felt that Yuancho Wujiang had become very different from before today. The person he used to be was somewhat arrogant and reckless, although no one knew what he was thinking, but today he even showed a much deeper side of himself. As if he were a god who had everything under control. [I can''t trust him. What if all this is just another one of his evil schemes? What if he does something to me that I can''t unite with my young master anymore? But what if it''s not so? Could he really and sincerely help me cultivate?] Ke Er left with conflicting feelings in her heart. She really didn''t know if she could trust Yuancho Wujiang or not. But to say that she wasn''t interested in cultivating would be a big l --- Chapter 3 In a magnificent mansion, a black-clad figure was present. Even though he was meditating on a jade futon, he exuded an unusual and detached aura. He was simply a distinguished individual, appearing close yet distant. This handsome boy with a noble and transcendent air was Yuancho Wujiang. Despite being completely surrounded by strands of Qi energy, he had a calm appearance, as if he had control over everything. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since his last encounter with Ke Er. During these three days, he had never left his mansion because with the awakening of the Absolute Negator Body, his cultivation in the Refining Body Realm had automatically reached its peak and was close to the Innate Realm. In the Four Kingdoms, the path of cultivation begins from the Refining Body Realm. The body is the foundation of an individual, and in the world of cultivators, this is an accepted law. Therefore, initially, a person must cultivate their body to be able to control Qi energy. The Refining Body Realm itself is divided into four stages. In the initial stage, the cultivator refines the flesh; in the intermediate stage, they refine the bones; in the final stage, they refine the tendons; and at the peak, the cultivator will have the ability to sense and control Qi energy through their meridians. In this stage, the power of a cultivator reaches its peak in the Refining Body Realm, surpassing fifty thousand jin. Of course, it should be noted that the true path of cultivation begins only after the Refining Body Realm. In the Refining Body Realm, a cultivator will have power beyond an ordinary person, with the ability to crush stones and break tree trunks with a single punch. Yuancho Wujiang was previously at the tenth layer of the Refining Body Realm. When the Absolute Negator Body awakened, his cultivation automatically advanced to the peak of the tenth layer. This both surprised and excited him because it accelerated his advancement to the Innate Realm. The flow of Qi energy grew stronger and more powerful moment by moment. One could clearly see strands of Qi energy swirling around Yuancho Wujiang''s body. This created a stunning and beautiful scene. --- On the other hand, in a beautiful garden, a slender and cute girl was sitting. The watery eyes of the beautiful girl watched the flight of small birds and colorful butterflies around the flowers and bushes. Even in a servant''s uniform, she was very beautiful and pleasing to the eyes. She was Ke Er. For the past three days, the only thing that occupied her mind was Yuancho Wujiang''s offer regarding cultivation. For a mere mortal like her, Yuancho Wujiang''s offer was tempting, even more tempting than a large amount of silver and gold! She had neither a background nor a position! Her status in her young master''s family was very low because her young master was the trash of the family at that time. In the Yuancho Tribe, due to her proximity to Yuancho Wujiang, she had a notable position. However, she was well aware of her feelings towards Yuancho Wujiang, and she was sure he knew it too. This tribe was like a nest of tigers for her. It is not a lie to say she wasn''t scared. Until three days ago, Yuancho Wujiang''s behavior towards her had somewhat changed from indifference to kindness. Of course, Ke Er thought that Yuancho Wujiang''s kindness towards her was merely superficial and not genuine. She didn''t exactly know what mask was hidden behind those gentle and charming smiles of Yuancho Wujiang. Therefore, his offer to help her cultivate was like two sides of a coin. It might genuinely be help, free from any scheme, or a conspiracy! But when she thought about it, she felt that it was unrealistic. Because plotting a conspiracy for a worthless servant like her made no sense. Her young master was also just a young master to her; to someone like Yuancho Wujiang, the nineteenth young master of the Yuancho Tribe, he was nothing more than a small-town boy. She had also heard from the tribe''s servants and guards that Yuancho Wujiang''s position was much higher than it seemed. Therefore, no matter how she looked at it, plotting a conspiracy for her or her young master made no sense and was insignificant to someone like Yuancho Wujiang. He could easily erase her existence from this world with just a gesture. So, she made her decision. With the image of that young and kind boy in her mind, she prayed in her heart, "Young master, please give me strength!" In such moments when she found herself alone, thinking about him brought her peace or even resilience. Finally, she stood up from the bench. It was as if she had made the most important decision of her life, a decision that could change her destiny. --- The guards and servants around could see the high concentration of Qi energy above their young master''s mansion. Such a grand scene caused suspicion and doubt among them. Some even sat in meditation, taking advantage of the opportunity to cultivate. They had never encountered such a concentration of Qi energy before. After all, Yuancho Wujiang was not so cruel as to kill them just for such a small matter. : "He is advancing to the Innate Realm!" In a corner of the surroundings, an ordinary guard was leaning against a tall tree. He was so ordinary that he blended into the background, and surprisingly, he was the same ordinary guard who had passed by Ke Er three days ago. Meanwhile, inside the mansion, At a certain point in time, Yuancho Wujiang opened his beautiful eyes. In his eyes, there was a sign of pleasure and satisfaction. "It was a success. I have advanced to the Innate Realm!" He could feel the primal energy flowing through his body. In the Innate Realm, a cultivator can control Qi energy and not only that, but they can also start cultivating martial skills. To cultivate martial skills, Qi energy is needed, and only after advancing to the Innate Realm can a cultivator control Qi energy. In this realm, a cultivator can circulate primal energy through their meridians, which in turn enhances their senses. In this realm, not only does lifespan increase to over a hundred years, but the cultivator also gains an extraordinary physique, becoming no longer an ordinary mortal. The physical strength of an Innate Realm cultivator at the moment of breakthrough is ten times greater than that of the tenth layer of the Refining Body Realm. This is why it is said that true cultivation begins only after advancing to the Innate Realm. Yuancho Wujiang said with some admiration, "The Absolute Negator Body truly deserves to be the best among the Lost Constitutional Laws. Even just half of my effort was enough to create such a commotion." He could feel the dense flow of Qi energy. Absolutely, this was due to the abilities of the Absolute Negator Body. If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. For the past three days, he had spent most of his time studying his constitutional law, and although he hadn''t gained much information, he had come to understand that the Absolute Negator Body could function as an energy-gathering array during cultivation, causing Qi energy to condense. This also resulted in faster breakthroughs in cultivation. : "Young master, I request an audience!" At that moment, while he was admiring his Heaven-defying Body, he heard a sweet and familiar voice from behind the door of his mansion. He didn''t need to guess who the owner of the voice was. Therefore, retracting his primal energy, he said, "Come in!" With his permission, a cute and visually striking girl entered the hall. She was so slender that she seemed to break with a normal breeze and at the same time convinced people to protect her. This girl was actually Ke Er. This time, she gave a slight bow. In their last meeting three days ago, she hadn''t bowed, indicating that Ke Er''s behavior had slightly improved. Yuancho Wujiang, with his jade-like hands, picked up a Chinese teapot that was on a table beside him and poured tea into his jade cup. Immediately, a spiritual aroma filled the air. It was obvious that the tea was not ordinary. Yuancho Wujiang picked up the tea cup and took a sip. A flow of spirit energy was generated in his body due to the spiritual tea. "Good tea!" Then he looked at Ke Er and said, "So, have you made your decision?" Every part of his behavior contained a certain nobility and calmness that compelled people to admire him. Even Ke Er had to admit that the handsome boy in front of her was truly noble. However, she didn''t think much about it and said with a determined look, "I want to cultivate!" Her eyes showed no sign of fear or hesitation. Only determination. It was clear that she had resolutely made her decision. Yuancho Wujiang said with a delicate smile, "Very well. As I said, I will help you. And I will not go back on my word." He valued and admired Ke Er''s will and determination. Such people were truly worthy of respect. Ke Er was somewhat happy because she could step onto the path of cultivation. She was only disappointed that she would have to start this path with the help of someone other than her young master. However, as long as she became strong, she could take care of her young master. With this thought, her determination became even stronger. Yuancho Wujiang didn''t know what this little girl was thinking, or rather, he didn''t care. Putting down his jade cup, he said, "Before anything, I need to examine your body to understand how much talent you have. Or which technique would be most suitable for you!" Yuancho Wujiang''s words were like cold water pouring over Ke Er. She was just a servant with no background. Talent? If she had any talent, she would at least be able to sense Qi energy. After all, her young master had previously tried to help her, but it was unsuccessful. Could her hope be dashed? Yuancho Wujiang simply said something. He had already seen Ke Er''s talent through the system and knew that she had an exceptional talent for cultivation. He was just curious about the secrets hidden in this slender girl''s body. Could she also possess a special constitutional law? Ke Er closed her eyes and allowed Yuancho Wujiang''s primal energy to enter her body. She could only hope that she had at least a small amount of talent for cultivation. Yuancho Wujiang asked in his mind, "System, does she have a special physique?" A strand of his primal energy could feel a hidden force within this girl''s slender body. And not just one energy, but two. Additionally, he had a sense that a certain seal had been placed on her body. This made him curious about her identity. The Fate System of the Heavens responded after a brief pause, "Yes. She possesses a sacred physique called the Dark Moon Body. Apart from that, her body holds a unique imperial bloodline." A sacred physique! An imperial bloodline! Ke Er looked at Yuancho Wujiang with worried eyes and said, "Do I have no talent? Can I not cultivate?" Looking at her fragile and delicate appearance, Yuancho Wujiang felt as if he was looking at a treasure. A sacred physique is only second to a divine physique, and not to mention that she possesses an imperial bloodline. Bloodlines are a special type of talent that can sometimes surpass even constitutional laws. The Hou family carried a pure bloodline, and this was enough for the family to dominate the Kingdom of Fierce Hell for generations and be one of the top forces in the Four Kingdoms. However, their bloodline was not even close to a royal bloodline. Not to mention, an imperial bloodline is even higher than a royal bloodline. Yuancho Wujiang, regaining his composure, thought, [Absolutely, this girl''s background is not simple. I must inform my second uncle as soon as possible.] Yuancho Wujiang was not a fool. It was clear that Ke Er''s background was not simple. If he made a mistake, it could cost him dearly, at least for him. He had to be cautious. At that moment, he realized that Ke Er was still waiting for his response, or rather, she had fallen into a swamp of despair from not receiving a response for too long. She had come to the conclusion that she had no talent for cultivation. Yuancho Wujiang, clearing his throat, said, "I must say, you are truly something. Not only do you have the necessary talent, but it even exceeds the required level. I need to introduce you to my uncle and other elders." He tried to maintain a dignified demeanor, as he didn''t want to appear flustered. Ke Er felt like she had heard wrong. She asked excitedly, "Can I really cultivate?" In her dark eyes, two stars were shining. Yuancho Wujiang stood up from his chair and moved towards the door of his mansion. Without looking back, he replied, "Of course. Come with me, we need to go to the main hall!" He was trying to reach the main hall as quickly as possible to inform his second uncle about the situation because he felt that this matter was not simple. A young girl with a sacred physique and an imperial bloodline suddenly appearing in a small kingdom. No matter how one looked at it, it wasn''t simple. Ke Er, of course, didn''t know what was going on. She was just happy that she had the required talent and could cultivate. Her small mind was only thinking about her young master. Chapter 4 The sudden exit of Yuancho Wujiang from his mansion evoked a strange feeling among the surrounding servants and guards. They were merely tasked with serving Yuancho Wujiang, so they couldn''t inquire about the reason. It was possible that he was tired of three days of retreat in his mansion and came out for some fresh air. Whatever it was, it didn''t matter. They just bowed in respect. Looking at the beautiful surroundings of his mansion, which included a garden and a small stream, Yuancho Wujiang spread his arms and took a deep breath. He liked this view. The fatigue from three days of retreat vanished in an instant. The trees in the gardens reached a height of over thirty meters, the small stream was one meter wide, and the melodious sound of spiritual birds could be heard from everywhere. This scene was particularly attractive to Ke Er. Not wanting to waste any time, Yuancho Wujiang grabbed Ke Er''s hand and took her with him. This sudden move made Ke Er feel like she was struck by lightning. Other than her young master, no other boy had ever touched her. Even if she didn''t want to, she didn''t have the strength to resist Yuancho Wujiang. Of course, Yuancho Wujiang only held her small jade-like hand for a short time. The main hall of the Yuancho Tribe was located at the center of the tribe''s territory. The entire hall resembled a divine palace, and its grandeur and magnificence were enough to shock even the royal family. White stone columns, adorned with beautiful ancient carvings, surrounded the hall on all four sides. Around the hall were other magnificent palace buildings, painted red, like guards around the hall. Large gardens with beautiful statues lined the streets leading to the hall. The scenes were so extraordinary that they inspired a sense of respect in everyone. The power of the Yuancho Tribe as one of the top forces in the Four Kingdoms was not just talk. --- Inside the hall, "The Sky Realm will soon open. This time, we must obtain that thing." A young man said with a resolute tone. He was dressed in a black robe with red edges and decorations. The collar of his robe was high and beautiful, as if it was made from the tail of a beautiful beast. His youthful face made people think he was twenty years old. He was one of the elders of the Yuancho Tribe, Yuancho Wang Ming. Another elder of the tribe, who was older than Yuancho Wang Ming, said in a deep tone, "Apparently, an old existence resides in the Sky Realm. I fear our young generation may not have enough strength to confront him! Should we devise a special plan?" This man, though older than Yuancho Wang Ming, was very handsome. He wore a white robe with beautiful blue patterns. His silver hair was tied in a ponytail that perfectly matched his face and appearance. He was another elder of the tribe, Yuancho Zhang Liu. Their gaze was directed towards a young man leaning against a magnificent throne. It seemed they were awaiting instructions from this man. Besides his handsome face, he also had a very noble appearance. No expression was seen on his face, making it hard to understand what was going on in his mind. This man, with a majestic crown on his head, was the patriarch of the Yuancho Tribe, Yuancho Xin Xuan. After a while, he said calmly, "Inform Jianlong, Yunfeng, and Yunlin. Take them to Elder Yandong for special training. I don''t think that old existence will take action against our young generation. However, caution is the parent of safety." His voice carried a hint of authority and grandeur, like a divine ruler giving commands. Yuancho Zhang Liu and Yuancho Wang Ming clasped their fists in acknowledgment. Although they were curious about whom he had reserved the fourth spot for, they said nothing. Meanwhile, the voice of the doorkeeper interrupted their three-person conversation. "The Nineteenth Young Master requests entrance!" Yuancho Xin Xuan smiled and murmured, "He''s here!" Yuancho Wujiang was his nephew, and he was very fond of him. This affection was even comparable to that for his own children. "Let him in!" Not wanting to keep his beloved nephew waiting, he quickly gave the order for him to enter. Soon, Yuancho Wujiang entered the hall along with Ke Er. Ke Er looked around in shock. The interior space of this hall was tens of times larger than the hall of the elders in her young master''s family. On either side of the hall, jade columns with golden bas-reliefs in the shape of ancient beasts looked magnificent. The shapes were so lifelike that it seemed they could wake up at any moment. Yuancho Wujiang clasped his hands together and bowed to the three elders seated in their respective positions, especially the one seated at the head of the hall, his second uncle, Yuancho Xin Xuan! Yuancho Xin Xuan noticed the relative changes in Yuancho Wujiang''s aura. So he quickly said in a surprised tone, "Jiang''er! Your aura?! Have you advanced to the Innate Realm?" Not only he but also Yuancho Zhang Liu and Yuancho Wang Ming noticed this change. Yuancho Wujiang''s advancement to the Innate Realm shocked them. Yuancho Wujiang replied with an indifferent smile, "I advanced today. But more importantly, I am here for this girl!" Yuancho Xin Xuan glanced at the little servant girl beside his nephew. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes and soon disappeared. He asked in a milder tone, "Who is she?" Although he was the patriarch of the Yuancho Tribe, he didn''t know everyone. There were more than a thousand servants in the tribe, many of whom he didn''t know. This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.Yuancho Wujiang, expecting his uncle''s question, responded, "Her name is Ke Er. Three months ago, I passed through a small town by chance and encountered her. It turns out Ke Er has excellent talent, so I brought her to the tribe. Today, when I examined her body, I discovered a unique aura. Apparently, she carries a constitutional law." A constitutional law! This phrase made Yuancho Zhang Liu and Yuancho Wang Ming examine her body more closely. Under their scrutinizing gazes, Ke Er was frightened and instinctively hid behind Yuancho Wujiang. She didn''t even know why, but she had no other acquaintance besides him. Could they be planning to dissect my body? If Yuancho Wujiang understood Ke Er''s naive thoughts, he would probably laugh as much as he could. Seeing her frightened appearance, the two elders withdrew their gazes and left the hall. Perhaps their departure made Ke Er feel somewhat better. Their gazes had scared her to death, like two dragons looking at an ant. After the two elders left, Yuancho Xin Xuan turned to his beloved nephew and asked with a smile, "I know you were hiding something. Now, tell your uncle." Yuancho Wujiang pulled Ke Er forward and said seriously, "She carries the sacred Dark Moon Body and has an imperial-grade bloodline. Her background should not be simple." Yuancho Xin Xuan replied indifferently, "Of course. Her sacred physique is very special and is very close to the divine level. Her bloodline is also very pure. She definitely doesn''t have a simple background. However, it seems a seal has been placed on her body, preventing her from cultivating." Yuancho Wujiang was a bit surprised. Apparently, his second uncle had already noticed Ke Er''s special condition. It seemed he had underestimated his second uncle. Or perhaps the Yuancho Tribe! On the other hand, Ke Er didn''t understand what her uncle and nephew were talking about. A constitutional law? A bloodline! She really didn''t know any of this. Yuancho Xin Xuan continued, "Leave this girl to me, so don''t worry about her. Instead, I want you to prepare for the Four Kingdoms Assembly. There is something in the Sky Realm that must be obtained for the tribe." The Four Kingdoms Assembly! Yuancho Wujiang knew about it. Every four years, a tournament called the Four Kingdoms Assembly is held among the four countries. More importantly, there is the Sky Realm, which is jointly controlled by the Four Kingdoms. This realm is the greatest treasure of the Four Kingdoms, said to contain valuable treasures. However, each time, only ten people are granted entrance to this realm. The entry quota is very low, meaning less than one-tenth of the participants have a chance to enter the Sky Realm. From his second uncle''s words, it seemed there was something special in the Sky Realm that the Yuancho Tribe was after. Of course, Yuancho Wujiang was interested in entering the Sky Realm. It was said that this hidden realm contained many treasures that could enhance cultivation. He had also heard of a special spring in this realm that accelerated cultivation progress. This was probably the greatest thing in the realm, and even Yuancho Wujiang wanted to try it. So he promptly accepted the tribe''s final quota. This was a great opportunity. Not to mention, the thing the tribe was after also existed. After some chatting with his uncle, Yuancho Wujiang left Ke Er in the hall and exited. Initially, Ke Er wanted to go with him because she was afraid of his uncle. But he promised her that his uncle wouldn''t harm her. This somewhat eased her anxiety. After Yuancho Wujiang left, Yuancho Xin Xuan gave Ke Er a scrutinizing look and asked, "Little girl, where exactly did you come from?" Ke Er stammered, "I...I don''t know! I...I''ve been with my young master for as long as I can remember." Yuancho Xin Xuan said in an amused tone, "Don''t be scared. I don''t want toeat you. Now tell me, who is your young master?" Yuancho Xin Xuan''s sudden question about her young master made Ke Er alert. Why did he want to know her young master''s identity? Could he mean harm to him? At this moment, Ke Er decided not to reveal anything. "I won''t say!" Yuancho Xin Xuan was an experienced man. He could see that this little girl was protecting her so-called young master. Her loyalty impressed Yuancho Xin Xuan. He said indifferently, "Even if you don''t say it, I will find out." Ke Er turned pale but remained silent. She preferred to stay quiet rather than say anything about her young master. Her stubbornness surprised Yuancho Xin Xuan. Yuancho Xin Xuan gave a reckless smile and said, "What loyalty! No wonder my dear nephew brought you along. Let''s move on. I will help you cultivate. Just never turn your back on my nephew. Otherwise, not to mention your young master, I won''t even spare the force behind you!" His final sentence carried a hint of terrifying coldness that almost froze the surrounding temperature. He was being a bit harsh because Ke Er was just a mortal. She couldn''t withstand this pressure and immediately fainted. Yuancho Xin Xuan quickly caught her frail body in his arms. Looking at her delicate face, his eyes held a deep gaze. [Why would the princess of that force appear here?] His eyes seemed to encompass billions of miles. Finally, he withdrew his gaze and carried Ke Er with him. --- Chapter 5 The golden rays of the sun illuminated the western sky. Even the clouds in that part of the sky had lost their color to the sun. This crimson scene looked stunningly beautiful. Yuancho Wujiang was sitting in the garden of his mansion. His appearance was as always captivating. He particularly looked like a divine prince who had mistakenly entered the world of mortals. He was in a position where he could perfectly watch the sunset. Yuancho Wujiang had one leg crossed over the other and his jade hand under his chin as he examined the blue screen that only he could see. Behind him were several servants and guards, but no one dared to disturb his pleasant time. "Now that I see, I have a beginner''s gift pack that has been stored since the system was awakened. I''m curious about its rewards," Yuancho Wujiang said, gazing at the option for the beginner''s gift pack with some contemplation. Five days had passed since the Fate System of the Heavens awakened within him, yet he hadn''t had much opportunity to explore it. He had even forgotten that he had a beginner''s gift pack. Perhaps this was because the awakening of the Absolute Negator Body had excited him, and he wanted to increase his cultivation as quickly as possible. He also had to prepare for the Four Kingdoms Assembly. Even though he had advanced to the Innate Realm, his power was not enough to compete with other participants and be among the top ten. Therefore, he needed to significantly increase his power in the next two days. The system sent a prompt regarding opening the beginner''s gift pack. Yuancho Wujiang quickly made his decision. He clicked on the "Yes" option, causing the blue screen to transform into a golden one. Yuancho Wujiang examined the information related to the gifts he had received. From the names alone, it was clear that the three rewards were anything but simple. He was curious to know what they were. Yuancho Wujiang was quite shocked as he absorbed the information provided by the system. He had expected the system''s three rewards to be exceptional, but not to this extent! Each of these three rewards was enough to spark a world war. Who knew how many ancient monsters and specialists roamed the world? If they discovered the treasures in Yuancho Wujiang''s possession, things would get critically dire. He needed to be cautious. Before pressing the "Yes" option, Yuancho Wujiang returned to his mansion. He anticipated that absorbing the Essence of Universal Intelligence could cause a great commotion. The Essence of Universal Intelligence contained a vast amount of information, so absorbing it couldn''t be simple. After taking off his beautiful silk robe and placing it on a lovely table, he sat on his warm and soft bed and swallowed the strange golden substance in his palm. This was the Essence of Universal Intelligence given to him by the Fate System of the Heavens. As expected, upon swallowing the Essence of Universal Intelligence, an excruciating pain was inflicted on his body and soul that he had never experienced before. If not for his incredibly strong willpower, he might have died under the pressure of this unbearable pain. --- Outside the main gate of the Glass Fire City, a group of four, consisting of two boys and two girls, stood. It was clear from their appearance that they had just arrived in Glass Fire City, the capital of the Kingdom of Fierce Hell. From their looks, they were truly remarkable. Among them, an excited girl shouted, "Big Brother Liang, we''re finally here. I really want to see the markets here." Her appearance was extraordinarily beautiful. In her black attire, she had a curvy and admirable figure. Surprisingly, she looked like an innocent girl who made others want to protect her. The boy whom the beautiful girl called Big Brother Liang was no less excited. He was Liang Chongxiang, the young master of the Liang family, the lord of the Sky-Filled City. With his hands on his waist, he said, "As the capital of the kingdom, it truly has a special grandeur that even my Sky-Filled City lacks. The aura of Innate Realm cultivators is almost everywhere." Then he looked at the beautiful girl and said with a gentle and self-assured tone, "Haha! Rest assured, I''ll buy the entire market for you, Qinqing!" Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. The girl named Qinqing, whose full name was Miao Qinqing, was Liang Chongxiang''s childhood sweetheart and current lover. Pouting her cherry lips, she said with a grumble, "Hmph! Just boasting!" Yet, in her heart, she felt a sweet sensation. Liang Chongxiang scratched his head awkwardly, causing the fairy-like girl beside them to laugh. In terms of appearance and other aspects, she completely surpassed Miao Qinqing. If Miao Qinqing was a perfect beauty, then this girl was a goddess from the Nine Heavens, whose every move on earth could topple nations. The boy who appeared to be the leader of the group smiled at the beautiful girl, then looking at Liang Chongxiang, said, "Now is not the time to explore the markets. First, we need to book four rooms at an inn. It will soon be dark, and the girls are tired." Miao Qinqing smiled beautifully and said, "Big Brother Yang is right. We can visit the markets tomorrow." Liang Chongxiang had no objections. Although he said with a puzzled look, "Big Brother Yang, don''t you have the king''s personal insignia? Why should we go to an inn? Besides, not going to the palace upon arriving in the capital is like insulting the king." Yang Zhufan replied with a bitter smile, "Ah! I hadn''t thought of that." In the end, he decided to go to the palace, as the hospitality there was undoubtedly better than an inn. Besides, he had a good relationship with the king. The group of four headed towards the palace. The royal palace was located in the northern part of Glass Fire City. It was the area where the most powerful family in the Kingdom of Fierce Hell, the royal family of Huo, resided. As they walked through the streets, many gazes locked onto them. Two handsome boys and two beautiful girls! It was an incredible combination. Most eyes, however, were on the beautiful girl beside Yang Zhufan. She was very beautiful, easily comparable to a fairy. Many even tried to approach her, but Yang Zhufan scared them off. How foolish, how could he let anyone get close to this beautiful girl who had captured his heart? Although Yang Zhufan didn''t know exactly who Yun Xianling was, he was sure she didn''t have an ordinary background. This girl had appeared almost three months ago after that unpleasant incident and had been with him ever since. Yun Xianling seemed indifferent to everything. It was as if she wouldn''t have been here if it weren''t for Yang Zhufan. After a while, they arrived in front of a magnificent palace. Hundreds of grand palace buildings, like ancient beasts, were built on eye-catching stone platforms with beautiful carvings. Malicious auras emanated from them, causing Liang Chongxiang and Miao Qinqing to turn pale with fear. Meanwhile, a boy accompanied by a group of attendants emerged from the palace. He could be considered handsome, but he was easily overshadowed by Yang Zhufan. The young boy initially glanced at Yang Zhufan and the others, but soon lust and desire appeared in his eyes. He had slept with many girls but had never encountered girls as beautiful as these two, especially Yun Xianling, who looked like a fairy from the Nine Heavens. She was so exceptionally attractive that the young boy couldn''t help but imagine taking her to his bed at night. Noticing his gaze, Yun Xianling became cold. Not only her but also Miao Qinqing''s eyes were filled with disgust. Liang Chongxiang shouted coldly, "Where are your dog eyes looking?" The young boy only then noticed Yang Zhufan and Liang Chongxiang. With some disdain, he said, "You just disrespected me. But since I am a kind-hearted person, I''ll forgive you. Leave the girls and go before I change my mind." Liang Chongxiang laughed coldly. "Damn dog! You make me sick." Hearing Liang Chongxiang''s cold and insolent tone, the young boy''s face turned cold. He shouted, "Do you know who I am? I am Zhang Huan, and my father is a first-class official. Guards, kill those two boys for disrespecting a superior and keep only the girls." At his command, the ten guards behind him immediately rushed towards Yang Zhufan and Liang Chongxiang. However, this was the worst mistake of their lives. They were swiftly killed by Yang Zhufan and Liang Chongxiang. Seeing the fallen bodies of the guards, Zhang Huan''s legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground. He was terrified. Pointing a trembling finger at them, he said, "You''re dead! Do you know the penalty for insulting my Zhang family?" Yet, it seemed these two didn''t hear Zhang Huan''s voice. Liang Chongxiang was so furious that he wanted to kill Zhang Huan. But at that moment, an angry voice echoed in the air. "What is going on here?" Soon, a young boy accompanied by a group of guards arrived at the scene. He had a beautiful and admirable face, and the clothes he wore were from the royal family. Clearly, he was a prince. Seeing him, Zhang Huan felt as if he had seen his savior. Getting up from the ground, he pointed at Yang Zhufan and Liang Chongxiang and said, "I was on my way to my family''s estate when these two rude commoners attacked me, and they killed all my guards." He even added a few more lies, causing the onlookers to curse him in their hearts for his shamelessness. Yet, they could only silently blame him, knowing the power of the Zhang family. However, the young prince slapped Zhang Huan. The slap was so loud that it sent Zhang Huan crashing into a wall. He was so shocked that he couldn''t say anything. He didn''t understand why the prince had slapped him. The prince bowed towards Yang Zhufan and said, "Prince Huo Chenxiong greets the Commander-in-Chief. Apologies for my late arrival." "What? Commander-in-Chief?" Zhang Huan nearly fainted. Not only him but the crowd also looked at Yang Zhufan with awe. Recently, a legend had been born in the Kingdom of Fierce Hell, and it was about the Commander-in-Chief of the kingdom. It was said that a young boy had managed to train the kingdom''s private armies and build an invincible force in battle. His rank in the kingdom was so high that even the Great General Wei Hantian respected him. It was said that even the king showed humility towards him. Upon realizing whom he had insulted, Zhang Huan fainted. He wished he had never encountered Yang Zhufan. Yang Zhufan knew Prince Huo Chenxiong. So, with a nonchalant smile, he said, "It''s nothing. Just a small matter." Despite his indifference, Prince Huo Chenxiong respectfully said, "Don''t worry, I will deal with the Zhang family. But first, let me welcome you."

Huo Tianhun let out a sigh of relief and said, "The Yuancho Tribe is one of the wonders. I would rather talk about the Cloud Valley Sect than the Yuancho Tribe! It should be noted that there isn''t much information about them. A few years ago, a girl from this tribe appeared with terrifying talent. Her talent was far scarier than words could describe. At that time, she traversed the Four Kingdoms, creating an invincible legend. She then went to the Nine Provinces Empire. Since then, there has been no news of her. I always had the feeling that the Yuancho Tribe is more mysterious than it seems." ???? ?? ??????? ?? ??? ???? ??? ???? ?? ??? ???. ???? ????? ?? ????? ???. ???? ??? ??? ? ??????? ?? ????? ?????? ?? ?? ????? ???. ?????? ?? ??? ???? ???? ????? ? ?? ??? ???? ?????????? ? ???? ???? ??.

Stalls lined both sides of the main street, each attracting a multitude of people. Some were genuine buyers, while others were merely visitors. Yuanzhou Wujian and Ke Er walked along one side of this grand street. Dressed in matching black robes and tall, conical black hats, they were quite conspicuous, easily standing out with a single glance. This attire was at Yuanzhou Wujian''s request. The reason being that he did not want to be recognized. His reputation in the capital was not favorable, and he did not want to appear bad in front of Ke Er. That would ruin all his plans. Additionally, he did not want the Child of Destiny, Ke Er, to be recognized. Yuanzhou Wujian asked calmly, "How do you find it, Ke Er? Are you enjoying it?" Ever since they arrived at the market, Ke Er had been very quiet. For a moment, Yuanzhou Wujian thought the latter wasn''t enjoying it. Ke Er looked around calmly and replied, "Yes! It''s just that, since we arrived here, I have been feeling a familiar aura!" Yuanzhou Wujian raised his eyebrows in surprise. [Could she be sensing her young master''s aura? What a sensitive girl!] He deduced that Ke Er had sensed the aura of the Child of Destiny. So he responded, "Maybe one of your acquaintances is here!" His tone carried a hint of affirmation, which made Ke Er ponder. Each time, this feeling of familiarity increased. Elsewhere on the street, a group of four people walked along. They were Yang Zhufen and his group, who had come at the request of Miao Qin Qing and Yun Xianling. After all, the capital''s market had a high level of attraction. Not only could they buy things they liked, but visiting such a lively place was also quite exciting. At that moment, Miao Qin Qing''s eyes fell on a beautiful hairpin. The hairpin was shaped like a lotus and crafted very beautifully. Pointing to the hairpin, she said, "Brother Liang, please buy it!" Liang Chong Xiang immediately took out a large amount of gold coins and bought the hairpin, despite having a seemingly indifferent and even narcissistic appearance. No one knew that his heart was bleeding. If it wasn''t for wanting to maintain his own image, he would probably have screamed in pain. Since arriving at the market, he had spent a large amount of his wealth on Miao Qin Qing''s purchases. If this continued, he would become impoverished. He truly wished to escape from this damned market as soon as possible. Yang Zhufen said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Brother Liang, you are very wealthy. Suddenly, I''m thinking of borrowing money from you. I''m afraid I can''t afford to buy a suitable gift for Sister Xianling!" Liang Chong Xiang nearly turned green. [Shameless! You are both an alchemist and a blacksmith! Your wealth would make even a kingdom weep.] Of course, he didn''t dare to say this aloud. In the end, he laughed and replied, "Haha! I''m sure Sister Xianling will like any gift you give her! However, I don''t mind giving you some gold. After all, what I lack is not gold." [A master of bragging!] Yang Zhufen thought to himself. Liang Chong Xiang was so exceptional that even in this situation, he appeared unconcerned. Yang Zhufen wondered if there could be anyone who could outdo Liang Chong Xiang in bragging. Probably not! Liang Chong Xiang''s behavior made the two beautiful girls laugh. Especially Yun Xianling, whose laughter was as melodious as a heavenly bell, mesmerizing those around her. In the midst of all this merriment, none of the four knew they were being watched by two individuals. Those two were, of course, Yuanzhou Wujian and Ke Er. "Young master!" Upon seeing a familiar boy on one side of the market, Ke Er''s beautiful eyes nearly welled up with tears. Three months! It had been three months since her separation from her young master. However, her smile faded upon seeing a beautiful girl beside her young master. Yuanzhou Wujian said thoughtfully, "So, he is your young master. Well, now that I see him, he looks like that pathetic boy. But to be honest, your young master is quite popular among girls." It was unclear whether he was praising or mocking Yang Zhufen. Yang Zhufen (Child of Destiny) Luck: 10,000 Seeing the overwhelming amount of luck above Yang Zhufen''s head, Yuanzhou Wujian felt envious. [As expected, the Child of Destiny has strong luck. Even double that of Ke Er! But the beautiful girl beside Yang Zhufen is even more special.] Yuanzhou Wujian could sense a very unique aura from this beautiful girl. He wanted to get closer and examine her. However, at that moment, he realized that Ke Er was pulling his sleeve. Yuanzhou Wujian turned to look at her and asked, "What''s wrong?" Ke Er responded, "Let''s go back!" There was a trace of sadness in her sweet tone. Yuanzhou Wujian was slightly surprised but thought it made sense. [Seeing the young master she is deeply in love with alongside another girl, it''s not surprising she feels this way. Well, this makes things easier for me.] Yuanzhou Wujian shrugged indifferently and said, "Alright. After all, I came out because of you!" It was just a simple sentence, but he didn''t realize that this very sentence had created a better impression of him in Ke Er''s mind. The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. --- Upon returning to the Yuancho Tribe, Ke Er felt a very strange sensation in her heart. She had always hated and even feared the Yuancho Tribe. But what she saw today made her feel that the Yuancho Tribe was the best refuge for her. Before she left, Yuanzhou Wujian grabbed her hand and pulled her close. Ke Er didn''t expect such a thing and was unguarded, so she easily fell into Yuanzhou Wujian''s arms. Ke Er stammered, "What are you doing?" Yuanzhou Wujian simply stroked her silky, fragrant hair and said gently, "Poor girl! I''m just giving you comfort." He continued, "Cultivating with an unsettled heart is very dangerous. It could even lead to qi deviation and destroy you. So before you go into seclusion, you must calm your heart. Don''t worry, maybe Yang Zhufen still cares about you, and even if he doesn''t, I am here." "Can I be sure?" Little Ke Er looked into Yuanzhou Wujian''s eyes with indescribable courage. Yuanzhou Wujian only gave a small smile, which expressed his affirmation. Finally, after a while, Ke Er separated from him in a better state. After she left, Yuanzhou Wujian''s gentle smile faded. [That should be enough. Then, we''ll move on to the second prey.] Yuanzhou Wujian''s form faded in the beautiful garden. However, neither of them knew that an ordinary guard was watching them. The guard whispered with a small smirk, "When the heart is at its most fragile, strike! The young master is truly amazing!" After returning to his mansion, Yuanzhou Wujian sat on a jade bed. This jade bed was a specialist in cultivation because it had mechanisms carved and installed that could absorb qi energy. Cultivating on it was essentially more successful and faster. As he sat on the jade bed, Yuanzhou Wujian thought to himself, "Now that I''ve absorbed the essence of the world''s wisdom, it''s time to move on to the Mysterious Art of Primal Creation. According to the system, this technique can create a world. A real world!" Since the cultivation technique was a gift from the system, its information was stored in his Heavenly Golden Mind, so he could easily circulate it. Although he currently only had access to parts of the first layer, his mastery of the technique would increase over time. The speed of Yang Zhufen''s cultivation made Yuanzhou Wujian realize the true potential of the Child of Destiny. Three months ago, Yang Zhufen was just a cultivator in the third layer of the Body Refinement Realm, but now he was at the peak of the Body Refinement Realm. He felt that Yang Zhufen would soon reach the Innate Realm. He could not and should not underestimate the Children of Destiny. Otherwise, instead of them being his prey, he would be hunted by them. Yuanzhou Wujian had already reached the fifth layer of the Innate Realm. He didn''t know how much progress he could make with the Mysterious Art of Primal Creation. Given that they were moving towards the Heavenly Realm tomorrow, he didn''t expect to make significant progress. --- Yang Zhufen and the others returned to the palace. They had a very good day overall. If they didn''t count the mysterious boy, they had a great time, especially Miao Qin Qing, who bought almost everything she wanted. Poor Liang Chong Xiang had nearly drained his wealth. If not more than ninety percent, at least eighty percent of his gold was spent on Miao Qin Qing''s purchases. On the other hand, Yang Zhufen also bought a beautiful pair of earrings for Ling Xiaoxiao, which made Miao Qin Qing envious. Upon returning to the palace, Yang Zhufen immediately requested a separate room for cultivation. Tomorrow was the day to move towards the Heavenly Realm and, of course, the Four Kingdoms'' Summit Tournament. As the most talented person in the Fierce Hell Kingdom, he had to maintain his reputation. He had heard from Huo Chen Xiong that the participants in the Four Kingdoms'' Summit Tournament were very powerful, with many of them having reached the Innate Realm. Even for someone like him, who could fight and win against people stronger than himself, securing a position among the top ten would be very difficult unless the number of spots increased. Considering all of this, Yang Zhufen was determined to reach the Innate Realm. Fortunately, he had all the necessary conditions and the only thing he lacked was time. He was confident that he could achieve the breakthrough before their departure. Yang Zhufen quickly began circulating the Nine Divine Suns Art, drawing from the memories of the Dao Ancestors. As for who the Dao Ancestors were, he himself wasn''t entirely sure. All he knew was that they were somehow related to his Yang family. He didn''t realize it before, but three months ago, after that incident, his body underwent significant changes, one of which was awakening the memories of the Dao Ancestors. Then the Nine Yang Blood awakened within him, boosting his power to a great extent. He later discovered that the lineage of his Yang family was not as simple as it seemed. The Nine Divine Suns Art was a heavenly cultivation technique that could not only create nine divine suns within his dantian but also allow him to create the world of the Nine Suns in the future. The sun, being the symbol of Yang and light, possessed immense and terrifying power. Imagining what kind of being he would become in the future was not easy. Moment by moment, Yang Zhufen became more engrossed in his cultivation. --- Chapter 8 Finally, the day of departure arrived. Outside the palace, King Huo Tianhon, along with several elders, including Lord Huo Tianhan, the younger brother of the king, the kingdom''s overseer, the chief alchemist Yang Liancheng, and the esteemed counselor and craftsman Zhong Luohe, were present. They were all prominent figures in the Fierce Hell Kingdom and even in the Four Kingdoms region. In addition to them, Crown Prince Huo Chentian was also present with a group of talented young individuals. Among them were the familiar figures of Yun Xianling, Liang Chongxiang, Miao Qin Qing, and Prince Huo Chenxiong. This time, the crown prince was leading the kingdom''s prodigies to the Four Kingdoms Summit on behalf of his father, the king. However, as the overseer, he could not participate in the competitions, and it should be noted that he was above the age limit. Only those under twenty could participate in the Four Kingdoms Summit. Miao Qin Qing, with some concern, said, "Big Brother Yang hasn''t arrived yet. Could he miss the competition?" Her tone was filled with worry. Yang Zhufen was the leader and the main pillar of the group. In other words, they all knew each other thanks to Yang Zhufen. Liang Chongxiang, with a slight frown, said, "The Four Kingdoms Summit is very important to Big Brother Yang. I don''t think he would miss this opportunity!" However, worry was evident in his eyes. It had been a long time, and Yang Zhufen had not yet arrived. Yun Xianling, with complete confidence, said, "Don''t worry. Big Brother Yang will definitely come." She knew that Yang Zhufen was attempting to break through to the Innate Realm, which might take some time. At that moment, a giant bird appeared in the sky. The bird was so large that it could cover the sun. A shadow fell over the audience, and the pressure emanating from it almost forced some of the young people to their knees. If it weren''t for the intervention of Huo Tianhon and Huo Tianhan, they might have been harmed. Yang Liancheng furrowed his elderly brows and spat coldly, "How arrogant!" As the overseer of the kingdom, he despised this arrogant sect, which was also recognized as the strongest sect in the Fierce Hell Kingdom. Not only him, but also Zhong Luohe and others shared this sentiment. Besides the Yuancho Tribe, the Cloud Valley Sect was the largest tumor of the royal family. The white bird, after circling in the sky, landed on the ground. This bird, with its white feathers, had a body size of ten to fifteen feet, easily capable of carrying dozens of people. The Sky Cloud Bird! A third-grade beast! Although only at the low level, it had power comparable to a first-layer Spirit Light Realm cultivator. Specialists of the Spirit Light Realm were very few in the Four Kingdoms. The presence of a beast at this level showcased the incredible power of the Cloud Valley Sect. "Greetings to the king!" Tan Kuanli and Great Elder Tan Kuancheng, who was also his blood brother, along with five young disciples, jumped off the Sky Cloud Bird and bowed to Huo Tianhon. Even though they were the strongest sect in the Fierce Hell Kingdom, they had to show implicit respect to the king. After all, Huo Tianhon was still the strongest. "Rise! Rise!" Huo Tianhon, in his encounter with Tan Kuanli, displayed a majestic demeanor. The top prodigies of the kingdom were present, and he needed to instill a sense of respect among them. Huo Chenxiong, pointing to a boy in golden clothes, said, "He is Tan Xionkan, the son of Tan Kuanli and the young master of the Cloud Valley Sect. He is also the strongest prodigy of our kingdom, having reached the sixth layer of the Innate Realm at the age of nineteen." "Nineteen years old and the sixth layer of the Innate Realm? He is truly amazing!" Liang Chongxiang said with an elegant tone, looking at the boy who exuded a dominating aura from the center of the Cloud Valley Sect representatives. No matter how he looked at it, this boy was incredibly strong, overshadowing the four other representatives entirely. Huo Chenxiong continued, "Besides him, Huang Baichun, the prodigy of the Huang family, has reached the fifth layer of the Innate Realm at the age of nineteen. Ji Liang, at the age of eighteen, is in the fourth layer; Huang Baiming and Mo Chinger are in the third and second layers, respectively." Huo Chenxiong, pointing to a young boy who appeared arrogant and proud, explained with admiration in his tone, "Huang Baiming is even more extraordinary than his older brother. He recently turned seventeen but is already in the third layer of the Innate Realm." This time, the representatives of the Cloud Valley Sect were very strong. One in the sixth layer, one in the fifth layer, one in the fourth layer, and two in the third layer of the Innate Realm! They had influenced the other prodigies of the Fierce Hell Kingdom. Among the prodigies behind Huo Chentian, not a single one was in the sixth layer. There was only one in the fifth layer, and that was the number one disciple of the Scarlet Flame Academy, Li Shimin. Only one was in the third layer, and the rest were much weaker. Huo Tianhon was also impressed by the representatives of the Cloud Valley Sect. This time, the top prodigy of the Huo family was Huo Chenxiong, who had reached the third layer of the Innate Realm at the age of seventeen. His talent was slightly lower than Huang Baiming''s. Although he was worried about this, he was also pleased. The more prodigies, the stronger the kingdom. Huo Tianhon, clearing his throat, said, "You talented young people are the prodigies of our kingdom. I hope you will hold the flag of the Fierce Hell Kingdom high at the Four Kingdoms Summit!" Huo Tianhon hoped they wouldn''t come in last place. As for winning, he didn''t think much about it. The previous victory was merely a coincidence. If it weren''t for that girl from the Yuancho Tribe, the Fierce Hell Kingdom wouldn''t have won. Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings. "Oh, Big Brother Yang has arrived!" At that moment, Liang Chongxiang''s joyful voice echoed in the air. Miao Qin Qing also happily waved her right hand in the air, as if guiding Yang Zhufen towards them. Yun Xianling welcomed him with a beautiful smile. With Yang Zhufen''s arrival, the expressions of Zhong Liancheng and Yang Luohe became very pleased. If it weren''t for Yang Zhufen''s command, they would have knelt and worshiped him as their master. "So, he is the noble young Yang Zhufen!" Huo Tianhan looked deeply at Yang Zhufen, as if trying to probe him. However, the more he tried, the more he failed. This shocked him. He was in the first layer of the Spirit Light Realm, yet he couldn''t gauge the depth of this young boy. In the end, he gave up and, with a smile of admiration, said, "Not bad! Not bad! His talent even surpasses Tianer''s!" "Talent surpassing Chentian!" Huang Baiming finally opened his eyes and looked at Yang Zhufen. He was known as the most talented prodigy of the Fierce Hell Kingdom. His talent even surpassed that of his elder brother and brought pride to the Huang family, the strongest noble family in the kingdom. Unfortunately, despite all this, his talent was lower than Huo Chentian''s. Huo Chentian was still known as the greatest prodigy in the history of the Fierce Hell Kingdom. He was only twenty-three years old but had reached the tenth layer of the Innate Realm, just half a step away from the Spirit Light Realm. When he realized he couldn''t see Yang Zhufen''s cultivation level, he frowned. Huo Chentian approached Yang Zhufen and gently asked, "Brother Yang, did you break through to the Innate Realm?" His eyes reflected a trace of excitement and anticipation. He had high regard for Yang Zhufen and even considered him superior to himself. Yang Zhufen, with a bored smile, said, "Just a small breakthrough!" Then he closed his eyes, as if referring to a trivial matter. The Nine Divine Suns Art was truly amazing. Not only had it increased his cultivation speed, but every time he achieved a major breakthrough, it refined his body. According to the memories of the Dao Ancestors, when he cultivated the Nine Divine Suns Art to a certain level, his body would transform into the Divine Nine Yang Body. This was a fundamental divine law with immense and terrifying power. Yes, as Yun Xianling had said, the Four Kingdoms were too small for him. Just a small breakthrough! Huo Chentian was speechless at the level of Yang Zhufen''s shamelessness. However, he had to admit that Yang Zhufen was a once-in-a-ten-thousand-years genius. Since the last time he met him, except for the past two days, Yang Zhufen''s cultivation was only in the seventh layer of the Body Refinement Realm, but now he was in the Innate Realm. How much time had passed? Probably not even two months. In such a short time, he had achieved this breakthrough, and it should be mentioned that he was only sixteen years old. [I don''t know what is special about this kid, but if Huo Tianhan holds him in such high regard, he must not be ordinary], Tan Kuanli thought to himself. Yang Zhufen''s appearance attracted all the attention. What was even more peculiar was that he could see the respectful gazes of Zhong Liancheng and Yang Luohe. No matter how much he disliked these two old men, he had to admit that they were highly respected. One was an alchemist, and the other a blacksmith! In the Four Kingdoms, alchemists and blacksmiths were very few, and the ranks of Zhong Liancheng and Yang Luohe were considered very high among them. Their behavior did not escape his sharp eyes. Thus, Tan Kuanli came to the conclusion that there was something special about Yang Zhufen. The beautiful eyes of Mo Chinger sparkled with curiosity as she looked at Yang Zhufen. With a tone of sarcasm, she said, "It seems someone more talented than you has been found!" Huang Baiming sneered and said, "Hmph! Just a small clown! It will be clear in the Four Kingdoms Summit who is superior." No one knew that Huang Baiming had decided to crush Yang Zhufen at the best opportunity. He would never allow anyone to surpass him. Yang Zhufen was unaware of all this. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn''t care. Now that he had broken through to the Innate Realm, even a fourth-layer Innate Realm cultivator might not be able to defeat him. Huo Chenxiong put an arm around Yang Zhufen''s shoulder and said with a bit of laughter, "When you were in the Body Refinement Realm, you defeated a second-layer Innate Realm cultivator. I''m amazed at how much stronger you''ve become now that you''ve reached the Innate Realm!" He remembered the time when Yang Zhufen defeated a second-layer Innate Realm cultivator in a stunning fight. That scene would never be forgotten by him. At that time, he also reported this news to his father, which further elevated his father''s view of Yang Zhufen. This is why the royal family treated Yang Zhufen so well. He was the most talented individual in the Fierce Hell Kingdom. Of course, it should not be forgotten that Yang Zhufen''s status was very high. He held the position of commander-in-chief of the army and was also the chief mentor of the kingdom and the great counselor. With everyone''s attention on Yang Zhufen, the sky suddenly changed. It seemed that something special was about to happen. The temperature became very strange, neither cold nor warm but possessing both qualities. A pressure even more terrifying than the appearance of the Cloud Valley Sect was imposed on the surroundings. All this indicated that a formidable force was about to appear. Huo Tianhon said in a solemn tone, "They are here! The Yuancho Tribe!" Chapter 9 Huo Tianhon''s voice had barely faded when a group of five appeared in a corner of the sky. They were standing on a strange object that carried them. This object was, in fact, a green rectangular slab of stone. Its surface was adorned with beautiful patterns, making it an eye-catching sight at first glance. Each of them was strikingly attractive and majestic, as if they were representatives of the heavens. Although they were the smallest group present, the aura they emitted was so powerful that it could suppress the entire crowd, especially the young man standing at the head of the group. He was Yuancho Wang Ming, and just with his gaze, he overshadowed Huo Tianhon and Tan Kuanli. Behind him, four young men, undoubtedly representatives of the Yuancho Tribe, sat casually. One of them wore an all-black outfit and meditated with closed eyes. His cold breath was like a sharp sword. He was Yuancho Kongjian, the strongest representative of the Yuancho Tribe. Two other young men looked exactly alike. Even the clothes they wore were identical. If they weren''t twins, what were they? Yuancho Yunfeng and Yuancho Yunlin! They seemed to be talking about something trivial. The last one, however, was entirely distinct. Both his aura and appearance were a head and shoulders above the other three. He was Yuancho Wujian. In the city of Fire Glass, he was a well-known figure. Everyone knew him as a small villain, but now he was completely different. One could not fathom his depth. The awakening of the Absolute Denier Body created a significant turning point in him. With the awakening of the system, he gained numerous advantages, including the Mysterious Art of Primal Creation and the Heavenly Golden Mind. All of these brought about a great revolution within him. His aura, charisma, and nobility had all transformed to an elevated level. "That''s him!" Yang Zhufen recognized him at a glance. The same boy who took Ke Er from him three months ago. Yuancho Wujian! The boy he had thought about for three whole months. The only intent in his mind was to avenge the humiliation from three months ago and reclaim Ke Er. Yun Xianling, beside him, could see Yang Zhufen''s hostile gaze towards Yuancho Wujian. Hence, her gaze locked onto the boy sitting ahead of the others. Yuancho Wujian seemed to sense their gaze because he slightly opened his beautiful eyes and nonchalantly glanced at Yang Zhufen and Yun Xianling. A small smile appeared on his indifferent face, causing Yun Xianling to frown. No matter who it was, not even Yang Zhufen could escape his gaze. He could feel every change within Yang Zhufen and didn''t even have to bother with the others. However, Yuancho Wujian gave him the feeling of falling into an infinite void with no end. Yuancho Wang Ming didn''t even bother to descend and said in a tone that seemed to declare superiority, "It''s time to move. The other three kingdoms have probably arrived." After that, he guided the flying stone, and the five-member group of the Yuancho Tribe disappeared from the crowd''s sight. Yang Luohe, infuriated by the behavior of the Yuancho Tribe members, said, "The Yuancho Tribe is becoming more arrogant by the day!" His tone carried a chilling coldness. The members of the Yuancho Tribe didn''t even pay them any heed and moved ahead of the king. This meant that the Yuancho Tribe didn''t regard the king and the royal family in their eyes. Zhong Liancheng, agreeing with him, said, "The behavior of the Yuancho Tribe has always been atrocious. Even if that girl brought glory to the kingdom four years ago, they shouldn''t be so arrogant!" He didn''t really care about the Yuancho Tribe. Although the Yuancho Tribe had always acted mysteriously, he didn''t think their overall power was higher than the Cloud Valley Sect. After all, the Cloud Valley Sect had two Spirit Light Realm experts, only one less than the Huo royal family. Huo Tianhan, with anger, said, "The behavior of the Yuancho Tribe is as if they are the rulers of the Fierce Hell Kingdom. If it weren''t for that girl from the Yuancho Tribe bringing glory to the kingdom, I would have summoned the four royal legions to suppress this tribe." As a senior member of the Huo royal family and the younger brother of the king, he had a particular pride. The recent behavior of Yuancho Wang Ming made him very unhappy and furious. With what Huo Tianhan said, the crowd, especially Tan Kuanli and Tan Kuancheng, drew a cold breath. The Huo royal family had three Spirit Light Realm experts. Besides the old king who once ruled the Fierce Hell Kingdom, the greatest strength of the Huo royal family was the four royal legions. The four royal legions were separate from the kingdom''s forces and were led only by the royal family. They were ruthless warriors on the battlefield. The power they possessed was enough to crush the Cloud Valley Sect. Tan Kuanli thought to himself, [This time, the behavior of the Yuancho Tribe has angered the royal family. I feel that a war is about to break out this time.] King Huo Tianhon had said nothing from the beginning. No one knew what he was thinking. In the end, he nodded his head and said, "It''s time to move. We must not delay the Four Kingdoms Summit." Yang Zhufen and the others, who had been merely observing the elders'' conversation from the beginning, simply obeyed the king''s order and accompanied Prince Huo Chentian. As for the Yuancho Tribe? They had no say in the matter. --- The flying stone, guided by Yuancho Wang Ming, was moving at an incredible speed, covering a mile in a second. Yuancho Kongjian meditated with closed eyes and curiously asked, "A killer''s gaze was locked on you. Do you have a blood enemy?" His tone was as sharp and cold as a sword. Yuancho Wujiang replied with a subtle smile, "It''s nothing special. Why are you interested in such a small matter?" Yuancho Kongjian, still meditating with closed eyes, said, "I''m not interested! That girl beside him is strange. You should be careful." He didn''t have any particular opinion about Yuancho Wujiang. Among the young masters of the tribe, the nineteenth young master was considered the weakest and said to have very low talent. Although he didn''t know why the tribe leader gave the last spot to Yuancho Wujian, he didn''t want any harm to come to him as a fellow tribesman. Yuancho Wujiang paused before responding, then said with indescribable calm in his tone, "My dignity as a young master of the tribe is very high. I will never allow my honor to be trampled by a small creature." The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. At this moment, even the twins looked at this notorious young master in surprise. In the past, this young master always indulged in debauchery and usually didn''t care about cultivation or his dignity, making him unpopular. But recently, Yuancho Wujian''s behavior had changed by three hundred and sixty degrees. Yuancho Kongjian opened his clear eyes. A sharp gleam like a sword flashed from his eyes. Perhaps influenced by Yuancho Wujian''s words, but whatever it was, he said with a rare smile, "Well, I''m eagerly looking forward to seeing your performance!" A deep indifference was evident in Yuancho Wujian''s eyes. No one could tell what was going on in his mind. On the other hand, Yuancho Wang Ming didn''t care about their conversation. However, he was also somewhat curious to see the performance of the nineteenth young master of his tribe. Yuancho Wujian''s lineage and ancestry were very noble, so many supported him. Could it be that the nineteenth young master had undergone a mental revolution and changed his mindset? --- The Hidden Sky Realm was located at the center of the Four Kingdoms. The origin of the Hidden Sky Realm was unclear, and there was even a rumor that the history of this realm was longer than that of the Four Kingdoms. In other words, before the Four Kingdoms were established, this hidden realm existed. The Four Kingdoms conducted extensive research to understand the origin of this hidden realm but failed to obtain any suitable information. Instead, they discovered a very strong aura that suppressed individuals over the age of twenty. Therefore, the Four Kingdoms came to the understanding that the hidden realm only allowed individuals under twenty years old to enter. At the point where the borders of the Four Kingdoms met, there was a circular area with a radius of one hundred miles. If someone looked from above, they would feel as if they were facing a massive array mechanism. In the center of the circle, a small portal was clearly visible. This small portal, like a tiny crack in the space of the region, was gradually growing larger. An indescribable dark blue energy that was even visible to the naked eye emanated from the portal, instilling fear in others. Fortunately, the energy did not attack anyone. Surrounding the area were countless soldiers. Each group of soldiers stood behind a specific flag. In total, there were four flags representing the Four Kingdoms: the Heavenly Tang Kingdom in the east, the Fierce Hell Kingdom in the west, the Deep River Kingdom in the north, and the Red Cloud Kingdom in the south. As they entered the circular area, the representatives of the Yuancho Tribe, led by Yuancho Wang Ming, settled in a corner of the western direction. With a wave of Yuancho Wang Ming''s hand, the green flying stone shrank smaller and smaller until it fit in his palm. A stone that grew and shrank! This was proof that the flying stone in Yuancho Wang Ming''s hand was not ordinary. "The members of the Yuancho Tribe? Then where is the Fierce Hell Kingdom?" Someone shouted from the middle of the long crowd. "Wait, this is unusual. Arriving before the main group indicates the Yuancho Tribe''s disrespect towards the king. Does the Yuancho Tribe not respect the Huo royal family?" "It doesn''t matter. I heard the champion of the last summit was actually a girl from the Yuancho Tribe." "You''ve only heard, but I''ve seen it with my own eyes. I''ll never forget that day!" The arrival of the Yuancho Tribe members at the Four Borders region created quite a commotion. Although the Yuancho Tribe had been very quiet, they were well-known in the Four Kingdoms. The turning point of this fame dated back to four years ago when that proud heavenly girl won the title of champion of the Four Kingdoms Summit and then traveled across the entire Four Kingdoms. Since then, the Yuancho Tribe had submerged in the sea of fame. In a beautiful canopy, a middle-aged man frowned as he looked at the members of the Yuancho Tribe. He wore large red armor adorned with carvings of a wild beast. The middle-aged man had an attractive appearance, and overall, he could be considered a handsome and accomplished individual. He was the great general of the Fierce Hell Kingdom, Wei Hantian. Wei Hantian was assigned by the king to lead the kingdom''s soldiers to protect the Four Borders region and the Hidden Sky Realm. [This can''t be simple. Either a problem has arisen, or we are heading towards one! I hope it''s the former because the latter will plunge the kingdom into a civil war.] He thought to himself while putting aside his teacup. Only a child would think simply about this event. As the great general of the Fierce Hell Kingdom, he was an experienced man and knew that there was a problem between the Yuancho Tribe and the Huo royal family. Of course, he hoped it was nothing serious because a problem between these two tribes and families would result in a civil war, something he despised the most. Civil wars easily destabilized the foundations of the kingdom. Shortly after, the representatives of the Fierce Hell Kingdom, along with King Huo Tianhon, arrived at the Four Borders region. "Greetings to the king!" They were quickly received with enthusiastic applause from the soldiers. Their shouts, filled with excitement, were a sign of their sincere respect for the king and others. Of course, many also secretly worshipped Yang Zhufen. As the commander-in-chief of the kingdom''s forces, Yang Zhufen was a great deity in their hearts. Even if he was weak, it didn''t matter. They worshipped him. "Welcome, old friend!" The other three kings came to greet Huo Tianhon upon his arrival. Even if they were secretly enemies, they had to look like old friends at this moment. This was one of the abilities of a few old foxes. Huo Tianhon, with a friendly tone, said, "Sorry for keeping everyone waiting." Li Shimin, the king of the Heavenly Tang Kingdom, shook his head gently and said, "It''s alright. Let''s begin the meeting before the summit! We need to implement some changes this year!" Yun Lisheng, the king of the Red Cloud Kingdom, and Jin Kan, the king of the Deep River Kingdom, implicitly agreed with Li Shimin''s suggestion. Therefore, Huo Tianhon had no objections. --- Chapter 10 [The amount of energy emanating from the Hidden Sky Realm is much stronger this time. It wouldn''t be surprising if the Four Kings decided to increase the entry quotas.] Yuancho Wujiang thought to himself as he looked at the small portal of the Hidden Sky Realm. Yuancho Wang Ming had previously provided information about the Hidden Sky Realm to him and the other three. He also knew that when the Hidden Sky Realm was about to open, a mysterious energy thread would seep into the atmosphere, originating from the Hidden Sky Realm itself. However, Yuancho Wujiang had a different perspective. [This energy is very peculiar and has a special connection to space. Could there be a spatial artifact inside the Hidden Sky Realm? If that''s the case, it''s not surprising that the tribe is after it.] There are three thousand laws in the world, and the Law of Space is one of the top ones. The Law of Space is extremely powerful and mysterious and can create a void. Roaming in the void and space-time teleportation between two distant points are among the most important abilities of the Law of Space. To create a world, one must first expand space; otherwise, the world will be incomplete. Therefore, the Law of Space is very special. A spatial artifact is even rarer. Few spatial experts can craft a spatial artifact. The energy emanating from the Hidden Sky Realm is incredibly pure, affecting the surrounding space. "The host is advised to enter the Hidden Sky Realm as I sense a special aura," the cold voice of the system echoed in Yuancho Wujiang''s mind, making him ponder! Could this special energy be related to the hypothetical spatial artifact, or is it something else entirely? Before he could ask this question, the majestic voice of Li Shimin filled the air. The meeting of the Four Kings had undoubtedly ended. "Hear ye! This year, the Four Kings have decided to increase the entry quotas to the Hidden Sky Realm. This year, unlike previous years, eighteen people will enter the Hidden Sky Realm." As his voice faded, a commotion erupted among the crowd. Increasing the quotas from ten to eighteen was a thread of hope for them. Over a hundred people participated in the Four Kingdoms Summit, and among them were many powerful prodigies. Ten quotas were very few, leaving many disappointed in entering the Hidden Sky Realm. Although adding eight quotas didn''t make a significant change, it was better than nothing. Yuancho Wang Ming shook his head and gave a cold smile. "Those old foxes must have discovered something. But even if they increase the quotas, it won''t make any difference!" He had great confidence in Yuancho Kongjian and the twins. As for Yuancho Wujiang, he didn''t think much about him. Huo Tianhon took Li Shimin''s place in speaking, "This year''s competition has no major changes. As in previous years, it will be held in an elimination format. Each participant will be given a numbered plaque, and based on that, participants will compete against each other. For example, the holder of plaque number one will fight the holder of plaque number one hundred twenty-eight." ... After the ceremonies, the competitions were about to begin. In the Yuancho Tribe''s area, Yuancho Wujiang looked at the plaque in his hand. He had number 107, meaning he would fight the holder of number 43. There were a total of sixteen fighting arenas, and only sixteen battles were held at a time. In the first round, two members of the Yuancho Tribe would go onto the fighting grounds: Yuancho Kongjian and Yuancho Yunfeng. In arena number three, Yuancho Kongjian stood indifferently. His eyes were closed, and he paid no attention to his opponent. His opponent was a boy at the peak of the tenth layer of the Body Refinement Realm, making him very weak. Yuancho Kongjian, with closed eyes, spoke, "You''re too weak! You better surrender!" Ye Zhan was very angry but also scared! Although Yuancho Kongjian stood with closed eyes and appeared very indifferent, the sharp energy revolving around him was terrifying, as if it could pierce his heart. He was sure Yuancho Kongjian was in the Innate Realm. In the end, he decided to surrender. Fighting an Innate Realm cultivator was pointless for him. "I surrender!" The judge loudly announced, "The winner is Yuancho Kongjian from the Yuancho Tribe, Fierce Hell Kingdom!" On the other hand, Yuancho Yunfeng also won by having his opponent surrender. In arena number fifteen, an exciting match was taking place. It was a fight between Lu Cheng from the Red Cloud Kingdom and Yang Zhufen from the Fierce Hell Kingdom. Yang Zhufen had number 123. Therefore, his opponent was number fifteen. Lu Cheng was a burly boy in the second layer of the Innate Realm, yet he couldn''t even push Yang Zhufen back. Below the ring, Liang Chongxiang, with contempt, said, "When Big Brother Yang was in the tenth layer of the Body Refinement Realm, he defeated a second-layer Innate Realm cultivator. Now that he''s broken through to the Innate Realm, Lu Cheng isn''t even worth mentioning!" Miao Qin Qing, agreeing with him, said, "Big Brother Yang will have no problem entering the Hidden Sky Realm." Yun Xianling calmly watched the match. Occasionally, she glanced toward the Yuancho Tribe, unable to see the depth of their cultivation. The Four Kingdoms seemed very small. She didn''t know why she couldn''t understand the Yuancho Tribe. Meanwhile, on the ring, "Alright, you''ve made me take this seriously! This time, the result will be decided in one move!" Lu Cheng said. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. "Go ahead!" Yang Zhufen didn''t care. To him, Lu Cheng was too weak. Even if he tried his best, he could easily defeat him. "High-level Yellow Rank Martial Skill, Waterfall Palm!" With his hand''s motion, the energy around him changed, as if a heavy waterfall was rushing towards Yang Zhufen. However, Yang Zhufen wasn''t afraid. He casually struck Lu Cheng''s palm with his fist, not even using any martial skills, yet the latter was knocked out of the ring. Seeing the match''s result, the judge loudly announced, "The winner is Yang Zhufen from the Fierce Hell Kingdom!" Yang Zhufen, as if having done something insignificant, left the ring. He casually glanced towards Yuancho Wujiang, who was meditating with closed eyes. [Be proud now, soon I''ll crush your arrogance!] With Yang Zhufen''s exit, the first round came to an end. In this round, where a total of 32 people fought, eight from the Heavenly Tang Kingdom, five from the Fierce Hell Kingdom, two from the Deep River Kingdom, and one from the Red Cloud Kingdom advanced to the next stage. Half of the advanced participants were from the Heavenly Tang Kingdom. As the strongest kingdom among the Four Kingdoms, their power was evident. The second group of the first round''s competitions began immediately after the first group. Like the first group, in this part, the matches ended quickly. It was evident that in each match, one person had absolute dominance. Yuancho Yunlin from the Yuancho Tribe, who was present in this group, like his brother Yuancho Yunfeng and Yuancho Kongjian, won without making any moves. Three representatives from the Yuancho Tribe advanced to the second round. It was a remarkable result. Liang Chongxiang and Huo Chenxiong, who were also in this group, managed to defeat their opponents and advance to the next round. The results of the second group were almost similar to the first group. Most of the advanced participants in this group were from the Heavenly Tang Kingdom. It should also be noted that only two more participants were from the Fierce Hell Kingdom. Compared to previous years, the power of the Fierce Hell Kingdom had clearly increased. Finally, it was the turn of the third group. In arena number thirteen, Yuancho Wujiang stood with his striking appearance. A few steps away from him stood an arrogant boy. He had his hands behind his back and looked down at Yuancho Wujiang. His opponent was actually the famous prodigy of the Deep River Kingdom, Xing Baodong. Xing Baodong was from the Xing family, the strongest family in the Deep River Kingdom, equal in power to the royal family. "Go, Big Brother Xing! Defeat him!" "Big Brother Xing, I love you!" The cheering voices of Xing Baodong''s fans were heard. This was the first time Yuancho Wujiang''s reputation was overshadowed to this extent. However, he didn''t care much. On the other hand, "His opponent is Xing Baodong," Yuancho Yunlin said with a slight frown. He had a relative impression of this arrogant young master. Yuancho Yunfeng curiously asked, "Do you know him?" Yuancho Wujiang was their nineteenth young master, so he naturally attracted attention. Yuancho Yunfeng was curious to know who his opponent was. Yuancho Yunlin shook his head and replied, "It''s not a personal acquaintance. I''ve just heard of him. The problem is that he''s in the fourth layer of the Innate Realm." When Yuancho Yunfeng looked closely, he realized that Xing Baodong was indeed in the fourth layer of the Innate Realm. "The nineteenth young master is in trouble!" He sighed. Yuancho Kongjian had a different opinion. As he kept his eyes on arena thirteen, he said mysteriously, "Your words might not necessarily be true." Yuancho Yunfeng raised his eyebrows. Could there be a surprise in store? Meanwhile, in arena thirteen, Xing Baodong looked at Yuancho Wujiang with half-closed eyes--- and said, "I''ll give you the chance to surrender." There was an undeniable dominance in his tone as if he wanted to dominate Yuancho Wujiang and make him surrender. Yuancho Wujiang was indifferent, as if he didn''t take him seriously at all. "You''re overestimating yourself!" Xing Baodong, with a contemptuous tone, said, "It seems the members of the Yuancho Tribe have learned to be arrogant, even if they''re nothing." He didn''t regard Yuancho Wujiang in his eyes. He didn''t even think much about the Yuancho Tribe. As for the legend from four years ago and that girl, he still didn''t care. He thought that legend was just an accident. "Oh, so you think my tribe is nothing! Interesting! However, I will teach you that the Yuancho Tribe is not something you can comment on!" Yuancho Wujiang didn''t use any martial arts. He simply punched towards Xing Baodong with his physical strength. "It seems you''re looking for death!" Xing Baodong didn''t want to use any martial arts, as it would diminish his charisma. He wanted to defeat the young master of the Yuancho Tribe with one move without using martial arts to make his fame skyrocket. However, soon his contempt, excitement, and pleasure turned into fear. Yuancho Wujiang''s punch pressured him like an ancient mountain, shattering his body. Upon being hit by Yuancho Wujiang''s punch, Xing Baodong''s destroyed body was sent flying hundreds of meters backward. The judge, seeing the match''s result, loudly announced, "The winner is Yuancho Wujiang from the Yuancho Tribe, Fierce Hell Kingdom!" Chapter 11 "Winner, Yuancho Wujiang from the Yuancho Tribe of the Fierce Hell Kingdom!" After Xing Baodong was thrown out of the ring, the referee announced the result of this match. Silence! No one expected such a result. Xing Baodong, at the age of seventeen, had reached the fourth layer of the Innate Realm. His talent was even stronger than Huang Baiming, the prodigy of the Fierce Hell Kingdom, who had advanced to the next round in the previous group. But such a person was defeated by Yuancho Wujiang, who had no special reputation except for his bad records. It cannot even be considered a defeat. Xing Baodong was simply annihilated. Those who went to check the situation found that many of his bones, especially a few ribs, were broken. His internal organs were also disorganized, and it is unclear how long it will take for him to recover. Yang Zhuofen''s smile froze. He believed that Xing Baodong would easily defeat Yuancho Wujiang and create a humiliating event for him that he would never forget. But it seems this belief would never become a reality. [I underestimated his power. I was too naive. How could the young master of the Yuancho Tribe be so weak?] Yang Zhuofen realized his big mistake. "Oh, sister Xianling also won." Miao Qincheng noticed that in ring number eight, Yun Xianling defeated her opponent with a single move. Liang Chongxiang, while stroking his chin, expressed his curiosity: "Sister Xianling is very strong. Brother Yang, I am really curious to know what sister Xianling''s identity is?" Yang Zhuofen, smiling at Yun Xianling, said, "I don''t know either!" Liang Chongxiang exclaimed in surprise, "Even you?" Meanwhile, Yuancho Wujiang was still standing in ring thirteen. [I think I was too harsh. Well, if it serves as a lesson for him, it won''t be a problem, right?] Just as he left the ring, he saw Yun Xianling calmly descending from her ring. [It seems the girl of fate easily defeated her opponent. With strong luck, great beauty, and a mysterious background! I wonder if I should envy Yang Zhuofen?] Yuancho Wujiang returned to his tribe members. Unlike before, their attitude had changed. Well, after the surprise he provided, this behavior is entirely understandable. His power had remained hidden in the tribe, and his killing speed was unknown to anyone. Therefore, everyone in the tribe had little regard for Yuancho Wujiang. Yuancho Kongjian looked at Yuancho Wujiang, the young master with a bad reputation, with a small smile. In a tone that contained a hint of gratitude, he said, "Good job! It seems you came well-prepared this time!" Even he did not expect Yuancho Wujiang to defeat Xing Baodong so easily. Yuancho Yunlin, standing beside him, praised, "It''s not that I overestimate Xing Baodong, but defeating him is not an easy task. The young master was truly amazing!" Yuancho Yunfeng, looking surprised at the young master nineteenth, didn''t know much about Yuancho Wujiang, only that he was famous for his bad records. For someone who valued the tribe''s reputation, Yuancho Wujiang''s behavior was not logical. Despite trying hard, he couldn''t find words to describe the previous scene, so he preferred to remain silent. Yuancho Wujiang had an indifferent demeanor. Unlike before, his character contained a special pride and noble aura. He was now completely incomprehensible. He just nodded in response to his tribe members'' praises, and after sitting down, he said, "That kid was asking for a beating." Then, he closed his eyes and started meditating. The other three didn''t care about his behavior. From their perspective, what really mattered was the tribe''s reputation. The group three battles gradually came to an end. Only two people were still fighting, and they were from the Heavenly Tang Kingdom and the Deep River Kingdom. Both were in the first layer of the Innate Realm, and their strengths were nearly equal. To determine the superior, they exchanged hundreds of blows until a person from the Deep River Kingdom managed to punch a boy from the Heavenly Tang Kingdom in the chest, throwing him out of the ring. "Winner, Mo Kan from the Deep River Kingdom! Group three battles are over!" The referee announced the result, and a boy named Mo Kan happily returned to his group. In contrast, the boy from the Heavenly Tang Kingdom shamefully and disappointedly returned to his kingdom members. In the normal course, the result of this battle was unimportant to the Fierce Hell Kingdom, but now Hu Tianhun was probably the happiest person. Unlike the previous two groups, this time the Fierce Hell Kingdom was leading and had advanced with six participants in this group. In contrast, the Heavenly Tang Kingdom had five, and if their last representative had not lost to Mo Kan, their number of advanced participants in this group would have been equal to the Fierce Hell Kingdom. The Deep River Kingdom and Red Cloud Kingdom had three and two participants, respectively. On the side of the Heavenly Tang Kingdom, Li Shimin''s face was ugly. The result of the third group was not pleasing to him. Before the Four Kingdoms Assembly, he planned for his kingdom to have absolute superiority in all four groups. But the results were never in his favor. The third group, which was the worst, was the first time his kingdom fell behind. He didn''t want the incident from the previous period to happen again. After a short pause, the fourth group''s battles began. In this group, the absolute superiority belonged to the Heavenly Tang Kingdom. The Heavenly Tang Kingdom had more representatives, so they easily surpassed the other three kingdoms. However, this time, the Fierce Hell Kingdom had a relatively close competition with the Heavenly Tang Kingdom. Probably the most notable battle in this group was between the number one disciple of the Red Flame Academy from the Fierce Hell Kingdom, Li Shimin, and Han Tian, the number one disciple of the Burning Sky Sect from the Heavenly Tang Kingdom. The Burning Sky Sect was one of the top three forces in the Heavenly Tang Kingdom, with power even greater than the Cloud Valley Sect. Han Tian was the number one prodigy of this sect and its strongest representative. A boy who reached the sixth layer of the Innate Realm at the age of eighteen. In contrast, Li Shimin, who had a name similar to the Tang Heavenly King, was a layer below. Meaning on paper, he was the weakest. In the Fierce Hell Kingdom, no one thought Li Shimin would win. The opponent was much stronger than him. Huo Chenxiong expressed regret, "Li Shimin is one of our strongest representatives. His elimination in the first round won''t be pleasant." Liang Chongxiang also felt sorry for Li Shimin. Li Shimin was nineteen years old and had no more chance to participate in the Four Kingdoms Assembly. In other words, this year was his last chance for this tournament. Elimination for someone like him in the first round was somewhat ridiculous. Wei Hantian, who had no hope for Li Shimin, sighed heavily and said, "Sometimes fate is cruel. If he didn''t face Han Tian in this round, he could certainly have been one of the quotas for entering the Hidden Realm!" He felt sorry for Li Shimin and even more for the kingdom. Li Shimin could have been one of the confirmed quotas. Huo Chentian had an undefined expression. No one knew how worried and anxious he was. Although the Cloud Valley Sect and the Yuancho Tribe were part of the Fierce Hell Kingdom, they were almost independent forces. Especially the Yuancho Tribe, which never had contact with the royal family and his father. Although they paid taxes, their behavior was as if they were separate and independent from the Fierce Hell Kingdom. The Red Flame Academy was different. This academy was the most prestigious in the kingdom and was completely loyal to the kingdom. Li Shimin, as the number one disciple of this academy, was also the kingdom''s strongest representative. If he were eliminated, the balance would tilt towards the Yuancho Tribe and the Cloud Valley Sect. Many would even doubt the royal family''s power. It can''t be denied that the Huo family is getting weaker day by day. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. Yang Zhuofen gave a strange smile and while watching Li Shimin''s battle with Han Tian said, "Don''t conclude too quickly. Power alone is not necessarily the criterion for victory!" Although no one understood his meaning, it was clear that Yang Zhuofen didn''t think Li Shimin would lose. Huang Baiming murmured with disdain, "Fool! In the face of absolute power, everything is meaningless." He, like many others, didn''t think Li Shimin had a chance of winning. Therefore, he found Yang Zhuofen''s words illogical. Meanwhile, on the ninth ring, the battle between Han Tian and Li Shimin was coming to an endLi Shimin was close to falling. His aura was very weak, and his body surface was covered in many injuries. It was clear that he was severely wounded in this battle. On the other hand, Han Tian was in better shape. Even so, he had also suffered minor injuries. Li Shimin''s power was truly commendable. He was a layer above Li Shimin, but he still couldn''t maintain his full health. "You are truly amazing! However, it is all over. You cannot defeat me!" Han Tian moved slowly. With each step, the pressure increased, and the energy around him expanded. The battle had lasted over twenty minutes, and he didn''t want to waste more time. His rivals, Li Huifeng and Jian Bin, had managed to win without using a single move, but he had been fighting for over twenty minutes. Of course, it should not be forgotten that the opponents of the other two were in the Body Moderation Realm and had no choice but to surrender. For the first time since entering the ring, Li Shimin smiled. "Don''t be so sure. I will be the winner of this battle." He then took out a thin sheet resembling a small paper. It was jade-colored, with golden inscriptions. No one understood what this sheet was. Only a few were aware of it. On the side of the Yuancho Tribe; Yuancho Wujiang was meditating when he sensed a special aura. His beautiful silver eyes automatically fell on the ninth ring. At that moment, he saw the strange sheet in Li Shimin''s hand. A strange light flickered in his eyes as he muttered to himself, "Strangely enough, a Creation Inscription appears in such a small area!" However, he didn''t care much and closed his eyes, returning to his meditation. On the other hand, Yang Zhuofen was also shocked. He thought Li Shimin might have a trump card, but it never crossed his mind that it would be a Creation Inscription or a talisman. "This is a Creation Inscription." Liang Chongxiang, who was sitting beside him, heard the word Creation Inscription from Yang Zhuofen. Not knowing what it was, he asked, "What is a Creation Inscription?" Yang Zhuofen regained his composure and, with a big smile, said, "A major trump card!" In the memories of Dao ancestors, Creation Inscriptions or talismans were a special type of Dao. Probably the only path in the boundless world that could rival Martial Dao was Spiritual Dao. Spiritual Dao was entirely related to spiritual power and had nothing to do with cultivation. In fact, it had its own unique cultivation, called soul cultivation. However, soul cultivation techniques were even rarer than Heaven-level techniques. Therefore, it was natural that no one in the Four Kingdoms knew anything about it. Creation Inscriptions were related to Spiritual Dao and could only be drawn or created by a soul cultivator. Yun Xianling was somewhat surprised. She didn''t expect Yang Zhuofen to know something about these Creation Inscriptions. Nonetheless, she fixed her lifeless eyes on the ninth ring. "Hahaha! I thought you had a powerful trump card. But I didn''t expect it to be a sheet of paper." Han Tian mocked. He didn''t think much of the sheet in Li Shimin''s hand. Therefore, gathering all his energy, he charged towards Li Shimin. Li Shimin paid no heed to Han Tian. He had accidentally obtained this talisman in a cave that belonged to a Bright Soul Realm expert. There, he learned how to use it. By attaching the soul talisman to his right arm, golden threads covered his arm. Sensing Han Tian getting closer, Li Shimin transferred the power gathered in his right arm to his right fist and shot it towards Han Tian. Crack! Craaacckkk! With the collision of the two fists, the sound of bones breaking echoed in the air. Many thought this sound was from Li Shimin''s bones breaking. Until Han Tian, in a terrible condition, was thrown out of the ring. His left hand was clearly bent, indicating that his bones were broken. "Han Tian!" Seeing his dire condition, the members of the Burning Sky Sect present rushed towards him. One of the elders immediately used his energy to heal his broken bones. The other members looked at Li Shimin as if they wanted to drink his blood. However, Han Tian didn''t care and only looked at the match referee. The referee, feeling his gaze, cleared his throat and said, "Winner, Li Shimin from the Fierce Hell Kingdom!" Only after announcing the result did Han Tian leave the ring. After he left the ring, Zhong Liancheng, who was an alchemist, moved to treat Li Shimin. It should be noted that Li Shimin was one of the prodigies of the Fierce Hell Kingdom and had a good relationship with Yang Zhuofen. Huo Chenxiong curiously asked, "What was that sheet in your hand? The fact that it could reverse the result is truly amazing." He really wanted one of those sheets. Li Shimin calmly said, "I don''t know, I found it in a cave!" With his answer, Huo Chenxiong was disappointed. At this moment, Huo Chentian''s voice rang out, "At least you won! That''s important for us." Huang Baiming''s face was unpleasant. Not long ago, he had confidently predicted that Li Shimin would lose, but the result was the opposite. It was a good thing he didn''t say it out loud; otherwise, he wouldn''t know where to hide. It should be noted that Mo Chinger was also present, and he didn''t want to lose face in front of her. On the other hand, the state of Tang Heavenly King Li Shimin was sorrowful. Losing their last representative in the third group was one thing, but how could he cope with Han Tian''s defeat? Besides his son, who was in the seventh layer of the Innate Realm, only two people in his kingdom''s representatives were in the sixth layer, one of whom was Han Tian. Therefore, Han Tian''s defeat soured his mood. After about ten more minutes, the final group''s battles in the first round also ended. The main referee announced the end of the first round: "The first round concludes with 64 participants advancing to the second round. The results for the four kingdoms based on the number of participants advancing are as follows: 28 from the Heavenly Tang Kingdom, 22 from the Fierce Hell Kingdom, 8 from the Deep River Kingdom, and 6 from the Red Cloud Kingdom! The second round will begin in ten minutes!" ---
