Chapter 59

In a corner of the mortal world, there stands a vast palace. At the deepest part of this palace, there is a grand hall.

Qin Zixuan sits here, dressed in purple, her beauty striking. Her jade-like eyes suddenly open, revealing a hint of anger.

"This little brat, daring to destroy my soul power, truly audacious!"

But then, she reveals a playful smile, a force within her body continuously flowing.

"It's almost over. When the time comes, I can go see you, my little treasure."

Qin Zixuan says no more, closing her eyes once again. At this moment, if someone were to be by her side, they would notice that Qin Zixuan has merged with the heavens and earth, and the power of the world is at her command.

On the platform of the Ten Thousand Sects, Chu Yan lets out a long sigh of relief, finally sending away that great deity. But then his face turns grim, for a simple reason: he is only at the Dust Realm and cannot fly through the air. Just now, he was brought up by Qin Zixuan, and now that he has shattered her soul power, how is he supposed to get down?

No, that's not the problem.

"Ahh!" Chu Yan immediately screams as he plummets directly toward the platform of the Ten Thousand Sects.

Chu Yan is now extremely regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would have insisted that Qin Zixuan take him down first. Now, he can only pray that this nearly thousand-meter drop doesn't kill him. Otherwise, this way of dying would be too undignified. He hasn't lived enough yet; he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth and still has a lot of posturing to do. He can't just die like this.

Fortunately, at this moment, Jiang Yi and Mo Tu stand up simultaneously, catching Chu Yan. Only then does he land safely.

"Master Chu, are you alright?" Mo Tu asks with concern.

Chu Yan lands on the platform of the Ten Thousand Sects, feeling as if he has died once. He quickly wipes the cold sweat from his forehead and chuckles, "I'm fine, I'm fine."

However, regardless of everything, this farce has finally come to an end. The people from the Crimson Moon Valley and the Blood Annihilation Valley have all left. On the platform of the Ten Thousand Sects, Jiang Yi and Mo Tu look at Chu Yan with anticipation.

"Master Chu, you won't forget what you just promised me, right?" Jiang Yi chuckles, having lost two geniuses, Murong Kuang and Murong Zhe, for Chu Yan. If Chu Yan were to renege now, he would have no place to turn.

"How can you count that? The Murong family was already out to kill Master Chu, so they deserved it! This can't count!"

"How can it not count!?" Jiang Yi protests.

Mo Tu's face turns red with anger. He is determined to have Chu Yan, but now he has no choice. He can only look at Chu Yan pitifully, making Chu Yan feel as if he is abusing an elder.

Chu Yan looks at Mo Tu and sighs, "Senior Mo Tu, thank you for the Heavenly Dao Sect's recognition of Chu Yan. However, since I have already promised to join the Vast Heaven Sect, I will join the Vast Heaven Sect."

"Hey, big fool, I saved you before, and you even promised to join the Heavenly Dao Sect then. Why aren't you keeping your promise?" Xing'er says, displeased.

Chu Yan is at a loss. That was your own words, right? When did I ever promise?

But Chu Yan doesn't say this. He looks at Xing'er and smiles bitterly, "Thank you, Miss Xing'er, for saving my life. I will repay this favor someday, but the matter of joining a sect is not up for further discussion."

"Who wants your repayment? I want you to join the Heavenly Dao Sect."

"Sorry!" Chu Yan says no more and looks directly at Jiang Yi, "I can join the Vast Heaven Sect, but I have a few brothers who want to join with me. Do you have any objections?"

"No objections, of course not. Master Chu's brothers are all geniuses, and the Vast Heaven Sect will welcome them." Jiang Yi nods excitedly. It's not just a few more people; for him, as long as Chu Yan is willing to join, any conditions can be met.

Ye Xun and the fatty are also excited. Ye Xun pats the fatty, "Fatty, from now on, we are disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect. This will bring glory to your ancestors."

"Too cool," the fatty grins.

In the end, Chu Yan joins the Vast Heaven Sect, and the Heavenly Dao Sect returns empty-handed. In fact, this time, the Heavenly Dao Sect is the worst off, having not recruited a single disciple, including Chu Yan.

"Senior, can I join the Heavenly Dao Sect?" At this moment, Su Muyan suddenly walks up to Mo Tu.

This decision by Su Muyan is something even Chu Yan did not expect. He thought that with Su Muyan's personality, she would insist on joining the Vast Heaven Sect with him. Because of Su Xishuang, he couldn't refuse. But he didn't expect Su Muyan to choose to join the Heavenly Dao Sect on her own.

Mo Tu is also taken aback but then becomes overjoyed. Although Su Muyan's talent is average, she is a princess, and taking her in is better than not having any disciples at all.

"Yes, yes! The girl beside you can join as well." Mo Tu extends an invitation to Zhou Qin, and in the end, Zhou Qin also joins the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Ye Xun looks at Chu Yan and smiles, "What? Don't want to let her go? I can guarantee that if you go to the Thirteenth Princess now and ask her to join the Vast Heaven Sect, she will agree immediately."

Chu Yan glares at Ye Xun and walks to Su Muyan's side, "Why did you choose to join the Heavenly Dao Sect?"

Su Muyan looks at Chu Yan. At this moment, she is less capricious and more mature. She smiles, "Brother Chu Yan, do you know? I was originally the princess of Changlong, a star and moon lifted by the masses. I always thought I was close to you, closer than Liu Qingcheng and everyone else. But today, I realize... how high you are and how low I am. I don't want to give up on you, so I will work harder and become stronger. One day, I will make you look at me differently."

Chu Yan is stunned, feeling that Su Muyan has grown a lot. Of course, he doesn't know about the incident with Murong Zhe, which completely changed Su Muyan.

At that time, Su Muyan realized that only by becoming stronger could she keep up with Chu Yan. Joining the Vast Heaven Sect wouldn't make her stronger, as it is full of geniuses and princes, and she has no advantage. The Heavenly Dao Sect, having no disciples this year, is her opportunity.

"Work hard, I believe in you." Chu Yan nods and then looks at Mo Tu, "Old man, she is my sister, treat her well. If she has any grievances, I will level your Heavenly Dao Sect."

Mo Tu smiles bitterly, "Master Chu, rest assured. The Heavenly Dao Sect will provide the Thirteenth Princess with the best resources. Additionally, Master Chu, the door of the Heavenly Dao Sect will always be open to you. Whenever you are willing to join, just come to the Heavenly Dao Sect."

Chu Yan smiles but says nothing, treating it as Mo Tu's polite words. Of course, at this moment, Chu Yan doesn't know that it is precisely because of Su Muyan's decision today and this brief separation that she will become his longest-lasting follower. When he becomes an emperor, reigning over the heavens and trampling millions of stars, Su Muyan will accompany him in battle, without any regrets.

Chu Yan hesitates for a moment and then says to Mo Tu, "Oh, by the way, if the Heavenly Dao Sect wants to recruit more disciples, you can wait a few more days on the platform of the Ten Thousand Sects. Perhaps you will find a disciple who satisfies you."

Mo Tu is taken aback but still nods and instructs someone to have the Heavenly Dao Sect wait for five more days on the platform of the Ten Thousand Sects.

Chu Yan looks at Hei Lin and thinks, "I've done what I can to help you. If you want to take revenge, it's up to you from now on."

"Let's go!" Jiang Yi says excitedly. This time, the Vast Heaven Sect has the greatest harvest among the Ten Thousand Sects. Although they lost the top-ranked disciple, the second-ranked Fan Ye and Chu Yan, the successor of the Wild Savagery, have both joined the Vast Heaven Sect, further solidifying its position as the top sect in the mortal world.

Chu Yan leaves, and Ye Xun and the fatty follow him to the Vast Heaven Sect.

The location of the Vast Heaven Sect is very far from the platform of the Ten Thousand Sects, but fortunately, they can ride a demonic beast. Jiang Yi activates his yuan power, and a lion eagle flies in from the distant sky. This lion eagle is very majestic, a genuine Dust Realm demonic beast with wings spanning over ten meters, capable of carrying more than thirty people.

"Ao!" The little wolf sees the lion eagle and immediately howls excitedly, even drooling.

"Roar!" The funniest part is that the lion eagle is very afraid of the little wolf.

Chu Yan looks at the little wolf, speechless. He is truly worried that the little wolf might eat the lion eagle in a fit of excitement. He raises his fist and hits the little wolf, "Little wolf, listen to me. We are going to the Vast Heaven Sect now. When we get there, it won't be a deep mountain or a wild forest anymore. You need to learn some human world rules, understand?"

"Ao!" The little wolf looks at Chu Yan pitifully and nods, then glances at the lion eagle and snorts.

"Let's go." Led by Jiang Yi, they leave the platform of the Ten Thousand Sects and fly toward the distant Vast Heaven Sect. The journey will take about half a month.

However, Chu Yan doesn't notice that after they leave the platform of the Ten Thousand Sects, a group of figures appear in the clouds. Leading them are Chiyue and Lin Daoyan, both looking coldly at Chu Yan.

"Chiyue, you were too impulsive this time. Confronting Chu Yan over a Murong Kuang isn't a good choice," Lin Daoyan scolds Chiyue.

"I will avenge this grudge today," Chiyue clenches his fists, his eyes filled with anger. He looks at Lin Daoyan, "How much longer will it take for the family's plans to begin?"

Lin Daoyan ponders for a moment, "At most half a year. In half a year, all the plans will be complete, and the family will take action."

Chiyue's eyes turn cold, and he reveals a sinister smile, "Half a year? Then I will let him live for half a year. When the time comes, I will kill him with my own hands."

"Let's go. Follow me to the End Flame Valley. Today is Xiaomi's coming-of-age ceremony."
