In the Continent of Asterismal, Located at the lowest level of dimension, there exist five points where the ten domains are located. The five points consisted of two lower points, two middle points, and one upper point, the two domains are like a leg in each point. Every domain has empires with a city and different villages.
Not all the people are qualified to know about how big is the Continent, only if one has sufficient strength and those from big sects and clans can know this. This is a matter of the future and not really important right now.

Red City, Rainbow Empire
In a narrow alley of a red dusk village, a young man walking who looked like a 14 or 15 years old, his face was slim with thin lips, and long eyebrows slanting upwards towards his temples although he was not too handsome you can consider him a decent and average looking guy. At this moment, he was carefully observing the surroundings. From the look of things, he is wary that someone might discover him.
Little did he know that while he is sneaking out like a rabbit and observing like a pigeon in the sky, the elders in the clan is full of praise towards this young man because every end of a month, they will see a poster outside his room that no one will disturb him while he is cultivating. Of course, they will spread their senses to feel the energy fluctuation to discover if it's true.
While the young man was walking, he saw a familiar young lady who he hadn't seen for two years in front of him. If you look at her closely, a deep affection and a look of sadness will see in her eyes. She opened her mouth a little as if she wanted to say something but in the end did not.
"Ughh, You.... What are you doing here?" Startled, the young man asked while wearing an expression of joy and panic. He tried to avoid looking in her eyes as he was afraid she might discover something.
This young lady called Ye Zixue, she was very beautiful, had a fine raised nose, pointed chin and a slender jade-like neck, her eyes were mesmerizing and had shiny hair descending to her waist.
Six years ago, when he was playing outside he heard a very beautiful tune and tried to discover where it came from. After a few minutes of playing detective, he found a little girl playing zither under the giant tree with two servants at her side. This tree is placed at the east, outside the village and can be considered a symbol of protection for the villagers in the red dusk village, this tree was also full of mystery. As for why it is a symbol of protection because everytime there's a high concentration of dust particles with sharpness towards the village, this tree will always blow with high wind to counter the particles. Another thing, when someone wants to chop a few branches off, that person's arm immediately feels a heavy feeling like something was chopping his arm a thousand pieces. Truly a mystery.
Back to the matter of zither, After finding the source of a beautiful tune, Ren starts to befriend the one who is playing zither. At first he couldn't hear any response as he kept mumbling anything, but since he is always listening to her zither with a dazzling light in his eyes, the other party started to be curious about him. Since then, they became a close friend and he learns that this person is a young miss of one of the powerful clans on the Rainbow Empire.
The sudden expression of panic on Ren stopped the sadness in her eyes after that, she gave a playful smile then said " Why? Are you the only one that can walk here on the street and the others can't?"
"Young Miss Zixue, Don't play me for a fool, others may not know your origin but me, i know it. So, What is your real motive?"Liu Ren asked, at this time his face was full of anger then happiness then sadness then anger again. His emotions right now were very unstable.
"Motive? Well, I don't have any ill intent but I do have a reason why I am here. Liu Ren, I'm here to inform you that in the next 3 months, the Heavy Willow Sect will recruit hundreds of disciples and all of the villages in the empire are invited to participate in the trial."Ye Zixue replied.
The Heavy Willow Sect is one of the greatest sects in the history of Rainbow Empire although it's not the most powerful but no one dares to offend them even the most powerful sect in the Rainbow Empire.
"Why are you telling me this?You know, I have stopped cultivating for two years now so it's doesn't matter even if i know this" Liu Ren said
"Wait, What did you say? You stopped cultivating?When we were a little child, you're the one that always encouraged me to cultivate when I told you my circumstances but now, you will tell me that you stopped!!!, Why?tell....."Zixue replied, she was filled with fury and was about to ask more but stopped halfway when she realized something then she sighed and didn't continue to pursue the matter.
To ease the awkward atmosphere, she changed the topic and then remembered something, she smiled and asked "Aren't you going to the capital?"
"Me?going to the capital? Why am I going to the capital?"Liu Ren asked innocently, but he's trembling body betrayed his innocent face. He was secretly thinking, don't tell me Zixue knows what I am doing monthly in the Capital? He was cursing himself, damn Ren, why are you so unlucky? so many people would possibly see you but why is it needed to be Zixue.
Wait, she only asked if i am going to the capital, it doesn't really mean that she knows my secret. After thinking this, he began to relax again.
"Heh, you don't need to hide it from me, a year ago when I was going to buy an elixir in the capital I saw you enter…. enter..."
"Enter What?"Ren asked, at this time, he was sure that Zixue really saw him.
"The flower chaser house"Ye Zixue was so embarrassed when saying this. She doesn't know what enters her mind to open this topic.
The flower chaser house is one of the best brothels in the capital. Not only are the courtesans here very beautiful, they also have long services, and different ages from young to middle-ages prostitutes. Everynight, so many young aristocrats will enter this, especially the silkpants young master.
"Ahh!!!, you misunderstand me, yes i went to the flower chaser house a few times and drank a few cups of wine but i didn't do what you are thinking,"Ren quickly explained, he was panicking right now, because the person that saw him was the person who he was in love with.
"You really didn't do anything there? That's impossible, I heard that all the ripe women there will make you feel better and make you forget your problem, as if your soul is flying to heaven"Ye Zixue continues to tease Ren, but in her heart she hopes that he doesn't really do anything there.
Liu Ren startled when Zixue uttered those words and he looked at her eyes as if asking, how did you know that?He doesn't know that when she saw him enter the flower chaser house, she really doesn't know what kind of business this particular house is. Well, you can't really blame her for being ignorant about that because since childhood, the only place she went was her sect, the giant tree outside the red dusk village, her clan and when she was going to the capital was only to buy what she needed and this only happened twice if not thrice because normally her servant would be the one to buy her needed.
After that, she asked her clan members about this.
"Cousins, what kind of business is this flower chaser house?"Ye Zixue asked, while she was full of wonder because anyone who goes out here is full of smiles.
After asking this, her cousins startled for a moment and immediately burst into laughter but after a moment restrained it then whispered into her ears.
After knowing what kind of business is that flower chaser house, her face was full of red and didn't know what to say to her cousins so she immediately ran into her room. When her mind calmed a little, she immediately thought to confront Liu Ren about this but she didn't know how to start or how to approach him. After all, even though they are old friends, they still haven't seen each other for two years. Naturally there's a small barrier between them.
