"Hoh? That's pretty interesting. So you're telling me that girl has a Fragment of Clear Water Heart Physique that's ranked in the 2800s?" Asked Jun Yuxuan with an interested expression on his face.
"Yes Young Master, if Zhou Wan says then that girl must have it because Zhou Wan herself is a Pseudo Clear Water Heart Physique, so she can sense anything related to Clear Water Heart Physique if she's close enough." Nodded Ding Huo in agreement before he continued, "This humble servant also has a Pseudo Physique. Mine is Flowing Lava Physique that's ranked in the 2400s."
To Ding Huo's words Jun Yuxuan replied with a question, "So Zhou Wan can you take that girl's Fragment away?"
"Yes Young Master that certainly is possible as adding another Fragment will only increase the already existing power rather than completing it so I can absorb any number of Fragments." Zhou Wan replied respectfully.
'Hoh… things just got a whole lot interesting. This Yu Lan has helped clear up some confusion, and I can confirm this Lin Feng is the 'person' I saw, the fated one. Seeing him like this has also cleared up many confusions I had. Well if I start making some minor moves I can basically control this Lin Feng's future and with that, limit the actions those two factions can take. During the past years, from the time I've spent in library I've come to know that the golden faction is called the Heavenly Court, which I inferred by confirming their past paths with what's recorded in the library, as for the corrupted dark faction, it is Abyssal Court. I don't have any other information on their creation and their actual sphere of influence but apart from these two hating each other and trying to destroy each other, they have one motive in common and that is to destroy Slayer Organization but they haven't yet managed to make a single scratch on us. But they are like insects, breeding everywhere, their members can even be next to me so I need to he careful.' Thought Yuxuan to himself in his heart.
"Young Master do you want me to take that girl's Fragment away?" asked Zhou Wan in a doubtful tone.
"No, at least not yet, things have only just gotten interesting. Let's wait and watch. She's still useful." Said Jun Yuxuan as he and everyone looked at the scene happening in front of them.

"You're a piece of trash… … .. You don't know how well the world is… … Immortal Stage Cultivators are Gods… … I'm from Five Elements Saint Continent… … .. I'm a Heavenly Immortal… … Celestials are the strongest, the True Gods… … .. Just being here is suffocating for me… … .. The True Qi here is too thin and there's hardly any Immortal Qi…"
As Jun Yuxuan and gang heard the ramblings of Yue Meiqi they couldn't help but feel amused as Yuxuan said, "She is one interesting character hah. She's talking like she's the be all, end all of the 18 Universes? Wait, does she even know about the 18 Universes? She's talking like she's infallible."
"Haha, Young Master you don't know but characters like her are all too common in 18 Universes, they cultivate for a bit and acquire little strength and their arrogance starts to swell up. They think of themselves as the center of the world and how they're invincible. But they don't know that they are also just frogs at the bottom of the well, just a level above those others frogs." Said Zhou Wan as she couldn't help but feel amused at the way Yue Meiqi talked.
"She's right Young Master, not to mention this isn't even all that arrogant. The real arrogant, ignorant idiots are those Secondary Profession Masters. They think of themselves as nobles amongst peasants, as if everyone should ingratiate them and worship them and act like their dogs. But they don't know that their achievements are utterly ridiculous and miniscule in the wide world that is Starry Sky." Said Ding Huo calmly.
"Starry Sky?" asked Yuxuan in a confused tone.
"That's what those in the Lower and Middle Realms call the 18 Universes, even some Upper Realms do that. You will know about it when you go out more in future Xuan'er." Said Mu Ziling.
"Why is that Grandmother?" Asked Yuxuan again.
"That's because 18 Universes is the official name of the plane we inhabit. It is divided into 18 Regions controlled by the strongest 18 forces of 18 Universes. This place was called The Starry Sky before the division of forces many epochs ago. Some Realms that are weak and isolated don't even know of 18 Universes, they think of themselves to be at the peak of existence and thus call the place they've never come in contact with- The Starry Sky. But there are still some places in 18 Universes that many don't know about since you need a certain level of strength to enter them, most of them are the places controlled by former 100 Star Forces or something of similar level." Said Mu Ziling calmly.
"Oh? It's like that? But grandmother, those former 100 Star Forces should still be pretty strong right?" Asked Yuxuan in an interested tone.
"Heh, what's so good about them, they're just one hit wonders that made it to 100 Star Forces by chance and soon lost that status or were heavily injured in a war against 100 Star Forces and became a shell of their former glory. They might me monstrous existences to others in 18 Universes but to Slayer Organization they are just one order away from total annihilation. But Xuan'er you better not let this get to your head, we are invincible but that doesn't mean we are going to be that way forever, when our Slayer Organization was created there were already three 100 Star Forces in existence but we still rose to become the fourth and ever since then we have feasted upon and destroyed any other potential threat, that's how we have always been the strongest and are still growing everyday. Even when two 100 Star Forces allied and attacked us we stood strong and survived and gradually grew into what we are today; but all this was only possible because of the Official Members of Slayer Organization, not the clan members, not the subordinate forces, not even our allies, it was the 5000 Official Members every generation who made it possible.
Listen carefully Xuan'er, amongst the Official Members you might find some that don't like you, some that want to hurt you, some that are manipulative, cunning and selfish while some that would follow you blindly and die for you, but that doesn't mean they're narrow minded fools who would endanger the status of The Organization, every single one of them would throw other things away during the matters of The Organization. That's how we have always been, otherwise we would have been eaten up by our own differences and disappeared in the sands of time. So even with your talent and intelligence never underestimate anyone in Slayer Organization. Even these two, Zhao Wan and Ding Huo who are following you like lackeys aren't actually like this. Both of them have killed more cultivators than the number of mortals on this continent. Your father and mother are even many levels above them. They might act like submissive dogs in front of you but that's only because of your background and talent and personal strength. That's how this vast Starry Sky works and always will. So always put your own strength first and other matters like this one on second." Mu Ziling gave a long lecture to Jun Yuxuan.
Jun Yuxuan nodded his head seriously in response as he turned his gaze back towards Lin Feng's ring which was now glimmering with faint 5 coloured light. Things in Lin Clan Main Hall were also coming to an end by now.
"Zhou Wan, I have something you need to do, when that woman and her group comes out… … … … …" Yuxuan instructed as he saw Yue Meiqi, Yu Lan and Elder Yu coming out.
"Uh? Well if you say so Young Master, don't worry, I'll make sure what you've ordered is carried out perfectly." Zhou Wan was a little confused by the orders but complied nevertheless.

Lin Clan Main Hall
"Hmph, now do you truly understand the vast difference between you and Lan? I cannot even be bothered to deal with the likes of you, let's go." Yue Meiqi snorted in disdain as she lead her group out of the hall.
Lin Feng on the other hand had now fainted after the pressure from Yue Meiqi was taken off of him. Lin Tian gnashed his teeth in hatred as he looked at the departing figures of the three females before he hurried to check on Lin Feng and carried him out.
Yue Meiqi, Yu Lan and Elder Yu on the other hand took to the skies and flew away with the help of Yue Meiqi. In Mortal Continents anyone at Manifestation Realm and above could fly so Yue Meiqi with her Heavenly Immortal level cultivation was like a jet in the sky.
.
In Mid Air
"Master, is what you said true? Do I really have the chance to become a Celestial?" Asked Yu Lan with an eager expression on her face as if she had already forgotten about the previous events.
"Of course, why would Master lie on such serious matters. You don't know of our sect's history. I'll take this time to tell you about it. Did you notice how this place is called Five Ways Mortal Continent? Well the saint continent is called Five Elements Saint Continent, you can guess by the names that this should have something to do with Five Elements- Fire, Water, Gold, Metal and Wood. Even the Celestial Realm we are under is called Five Elements Celestial Realm. All of this is because of a certain member of our clan who became the strongest Celestial under heavens and ruled over this Celestial Realm and renamed it to Five Elements Celestial Realm. He is called Five Elements Celestial Emperor, that year when he became the ruler our Five Elements Immortal Sect relocated to Celestial Realm, but our branch stayed back and became the sect it is today. After that Five Elements Celestial Emperor disappeared but that doesn't mean his strength wasn't real. He got all this mainly because of his Five Elements Physique that's ranked in Top 50 of 3000 Grand Dao Physiques, so even if you who has a physique ranked way below don't get to his level, you will still be a Celestial." Yue Meiqi explained in a proud and arrogant tone.
Yu Lan and Elder Yu on side were shocked by her words as they felt that a new world had opened up for them.
Suddenly Elder Yu had an arrogant look on her face as she snorted and said, "Hmph, that Lin Feng was really a toad trying to eat swan meat. Young Miss should only have a dao companion that's befitting of her status and talent."
Yu Lan was expressionless but Yue Meiqi had disdain flash in her eyes as she agreed, "Yes, that's why I asked Lan to break off the engagement, Lan you don't know this but Saint Continent is the true place that gather geniuses from all over. There you will find even the lowliest of talents have better strength than this Lin Feng and other geniuses in Mortal Continents. But even there you're going to be at the top, only the Ten Young Masters can match you in status and talent."
"Ten Young Masters?" Asked Yu Lan visibly confused.
"They are the ten most talented youngsters under the age of 25, not only extremely diligent but also talented, all ten of them have one of 3000 Grand Dao Physiques, albeit ranked lower than you but still they aren't soft permissons. Some if them are even talented in alchemy and formations…" Yue Meiqi wanted to continue boasting… *cough cough* explaining but stopped as she saw a cloaked figure was standing in her way in the air. It was as if the figure appeared out of thin air as even Yue Meiqi couldn't detect the person which caused her to be on guard as she stood between the cloaked figure and Yu Lan.
'What is going on, there shouldn't be someone in this place that can hide from my detection, was I too careless or is it that this person…' Yue Meiqi released her Heavenly Immortal Aura as she spoke, "Who are you? And what is your purpose in appearing here? Considering you could hide from my perception you shouldn't be from this place, what is your motive?"
Elder Yu and Yu Lan on the side were shocked by this revelation as they also looked at the cloaked figure in front of them. The cloaked figure was unperturbed by Yue Meiqi's aura as a chuckle sounded before Yue Meiqi's pressure disappeared into thin air and everything returned to calm again.
Yue Meiqi was stunned silly right now as she was feeling a little scared before she spoke, "Wh-Who is Your Excellency, I'm sure I haven't offended you, why are you targeting us, with your level of strength you must know of Five Elements Immortal Sect, after all it's a 40 Star Force. I'm an Elder and if anything happens to us you'll have a lot of trouble coming your way."
"Five Elements Immortal Sect? Never heard of it. Is a 40 Star Force really that amazing? You all don't even know how vast the world is. Don't try to judge things with your little vision." Said a feminine voice that came from the cloaked figure. The cloaked figure's hand suddenly moved as it reached out to take the hood off.
