The capital of Azure Empire is filled with extravagance and powerful cultivators, with the wealth received from having Devil's Peak, the largest habitation of spirit beasts and rare herbs in the Azure Continent has made the Azure Empire extremely wealthy.
The Azure Emperor is known as the official strongest expert in Azure Continent ever since Lord Evergreen's death which was the only one who originally could compete with him in terms of cultivation and is currently at the Ninth Rank of Houtian Realm at two hundred years of age.
In the centre of the capital proudly stood the Palace of the Royal Family, in which a group of the Azure Emperors subordinates hastily rushed inside to report urgent news.
"What the old mans failed? How is this possible? This beast was a Body Refining Beast no matter how strong it is, it could never compete with a Peak Rank 9 Qi Circulation Realm expert." The Azure Emperor voice thundered across the room.
"He hasn't just failed Emperor, his life jade is broke, the old man has been killed." Nervously stuttered a delicate looking man.
*BOOM*
A powerful aura enveloped the entire room, as the might of a 9th Rank Houtian Realm is unleashed.
"That's impossible for him to die in that place unless one of the Kingdoms dared to kill members of the Royal Family!" An expression of anger consorted on the Azure Emperors Handsome face.
"Emperor we don't know the cause! But the old man has truly died!" The delicate looking man meekly retorted back.
Before they could react, the Azure Emperor waved his hand instantly killing the subordinates which brought him the news.
"Useless!" The Azure Emperor raged, as a Peak Houtian cultivator he naturally knew the worth of a Frost Wyvern, but unlike the minor nobles which want to enslave the beast he wants to consume it in order to break through.
He had originally lost hope in the last hundred years of taking the next step in cultivation and becoming a true Xiantian Cultivator however this the piece of news of the Frost Wyvern instantly revitalized his hopes.
A True Dragon bloodline no matter how scarce can possible help him break through, which for the Emperor was of essential importance.
The longer he gave the Frost Wyvern to grow the more difficult it will prove to capture, he originally thought to send a Ninth Rank Qi Refining cultivator was even 'over preparing' but it turns out that he has truly underestimated the beast.
"Father, calm down. The beast is in our grasp, send me with some of your best Qi Circulation Realm subordinates and I'll get the beast myself." A calming voice came from behind the Emperor.
The Emperors gaze descended on his most talented son, at 28 years old Prince Dominic of the Azure Empire was already at the 9th Rank of Qi Circulation Realm becoming one of the most talented individuals in Azure Continents history.
"Son, if you can get the beast I will make you Emperor of the Azure Continent as soon as you return with it, dead or alive it doesn't matter to me along as it's body remains intact. I'll also send one Houtian expert with you in case of any complications" Sternly answered the Azure Emperor, he already underestimated the beast once, he will not let it get away again.
Even though there were only four Houtian ranked cultivators in the Azure Empire including himself, if they could capture the beast thus allowing him to ascend to Xiantian cultivation rank then it was well worth the risk.
"I understand Father." First Prince Dominic responded, walking out the room with a determined gleam in his eyes.
After the Prince left, the Azure Emperor stood his hawk-like gaze staring through the window in the distance.
'Beast your bloodline will be mine' the Azure Empire muttered under his breath a ruthless grin emerging from his intimidating face.
Meanwhile, it has been one month since the old man was killed by Dana, and she has progressed rapidly in this time. Since she first began practising soul cultivation it greatly benefited her in evading the experts of the Empire through the use of using soul in scanning the surrounding areas, she knows she will confront them eventually but she wants the sufficient strength beforehand.
And with the aid of the soul cultivation method her Souls Cultivation greatly increased, the System already stated her soul is much stronger than normal due to the combination of two souls between her and the Frost Wyvern meaning she was already a Middle Tier Mortal Soul Cultivator and after a month of soul cultivating alongside her Qi Cultivating she has already reached Low Tier Infant Soul.
After initially consuming the cores from the old man her cultivation skyrocketed to the fourth rank of Qi Circulation in a week, and since then she constantly hunted six, seven and eight ranked Qi Circulation beasts, under the constant hunting of these beasts her soul points increased until eventually, she had enough to purchase a mortal ranked soul attack method, which she found can stun a beast or cultivator for five seconds, which used as a surprise in real battle situation can mean the difference between life and death.
She also constantly used the cores from the Qi Refining beasts towards her cultivation giving her a massive increase in strength for the rest of the month and now Dana has become a Rank 7 Qi Refining Cultivator.
Now no longer a weak rank 1 Qi Refining beasts, she now has the strength needed to attain revenge!
A ruthless gaze emerged from Dana filled with killing intent, after experiencing the torturous sensation of her soul being invaded by that old man she will not be merciful towards the human cultivators any more.
Originally she still held onto some hesitation due to not killing a human before but now after the death of the old man Dana finally realized if she keeps this attitude then she won't be able to survive in this world.
She knows that if she is too merciful then she will be taken advantage of, so she knows the only way to protect herself in the world is to show her strength!
So, without delay Dana leaves the area heading towards a large group of Qi Circulation experts and Houtian expert, coincidentally lead by the First Prince himself.
