A couple hours later, Uncle Chen came back and greeted the Xu Emperor. He then raised his head to stare at him with an serious expression.
"Master can they be trusted?" He asked with a concerned tone.
"Who?" Xu Hei Tian questioned with a some what bored look as he contemplate what he should do with his wives that seems to continuously disobey his orders.
"Zou... Yu Xiaolian and Xu Wantian." Uncle Chen responded with a slight pause, quickly correcting himself.
"Hmm. Are you saying Xu Weizhe can be trusted?" Xu Hei Tian raised an eyebrow at his response.
"Naturally. He only cares about getting your attention. As long as you feed him the attention he needs he will continue obeying your orders." Uncle Chen replied with a amused smile as he thought of Xu Weizhe who only cares about gaining the emperor attention.
"However, Xu Wantian... If I must describe him, he's an anomaly. I am not even sure if he is still the same Xu Wantian." He said. Ever since Yu Sheng arrived at the Xu Clan he have been watching his entire actions and from what he saw, his demeanor is completely different from how he remember him to be.
"And his relationship with Yu Xiaolian who has betrayed us for the yinyue race is very suspicious. It's as if Xu Wantian is held in high regards by the yinyue's..." He continued before shaking his head.
"No. I refuse to believe the yinyue race would ally themselves with a human after what we did." He said as he reject those thoughts. Reminded of what they did to the yinyue race, or what he should say, what the Xu Emperor did to the yinyue race, he couldn't help but stare at him with a complicated expression.
"I heard the Yinyue Mistress gave birth to a boy." Xu Hei Tian all of a sudden mentioned as he place his right hand on the arm of his throne and titled his head onto his hand with the same bored expression on his face. His other hand rest on the throne as he began tapping his fingers.
Seeing how quickly his master changed the subject, Uncle Chen sighed before answering, "Indeed, it was a slight surprise for everyone across the Blue Domain."
"From what I can tell, he is probably a prodigy."
"Probably? He is most definitely a prodigy. Do not underestimate the Yinyue Mistress. From what I heard, there has been rumors spread by the Central Domain that she has lost her vision. This was most likely caused by creating that boy." Xu Hei Tian sneered with an irritated look.
"You are absolutely right master..." Uncle Chen gulped when he saw the emperor look. He couldn't help but wonder how jealous the empresses would be if they were to find out that at the mention of a woman name that isn't theirs the emperor numbed mood could easily change.
"Also she goes by Queen Yaojing now..."

Outside the Xu Clan the sun shine brilliantly. It was currently morning and the crimson moon that wrecked havoc around the entire Blue Domain vanished forever.
Yu Sheng stare at the three people who were getting ready to leave. During the meeting with the Xu Emperor, he discussed about them joining Eternal Academy.
In order to enter the Eternal Academy one must either earn a recommendation by the principal or vice principal or become strong enough before a thousand year old to earn their attention.
And the only way for a human to enter the Eternal Academy is if they have managed to reach the late stage of the Gao Realm.
That's not all, as they would also need to have the talent to fight across realms. That is, the ability to defeat someone at the pinnacle of the Xian Realm while only being at the Gao Realm.
If one can achieve this feat, then they would earn the recognition to enter the Eternal Academy.
There are also other ways to enter the Eternal Academy, such as being extremely talented in music or alchemy. However, for cultivators, the quickest and most efficient way to do this is by entering one of the two academies.
The Divine Evil Asylum and Divine Martial-Sword Sect.
The Divine Evil Asylum is out of the equation as they are ruled by evil cultivators that for some reason the Great Clans continue letting exist.
So the only option would be the Divine Martial-Sword Sect.
The Xu Emperor recommend that they all go there. But Yu Sheng quickly declined. He was neither interested in the Eternal Academy nor participating in the WBR Competition a couple years from now.
If anything, he would rather join the Divine Pill Sect and master all the pill formulas they have to offer to help his business grow.
But just as he quickly declined, the Xu Emperor quickly inclined that he go. When he wanted to refuse again the Xu Emperor only stare at him with soulless eyes and asked:
"Do you want to experience death again?"
With that question Yu Sheng immediately became obedient. You would think dying twice would make him less afraid of death, but it only made his fear of it grow more.
After the Xu Emperor finished he hurried Yu Xiaolian and Xu Weizhe alongside Xu Lengyu as a guide to head to the Divine Martial-Sword Sect.
Yes, Yu Xiaolian as well. For some reason the Xu Emperor wants her to participate as well in the WBR Competition, surprising everyone in the room who heard what he said.
Especially Yu Sheng who now realized that she was actually below the age 1,000!
As for Yu Sheng, he was to stay at the Xu Clan estates until he reach the pinnacle of the Kai Realm. He could have gone with them, but the Xu Emperor would not allow someone like Xu Wantian who he considers 'weak' to ruin the Xu Clan reputation.
After all, compared to the mainlands standards, Yu Sheng is in fact weak. Although he could fight across the kai realm stages with his yinyue strength and using eternal melody, crimson night, it doesn't change the fact that if he didn't absorb Xing Jiang blood he would have lost against Fan Guo who wasn't even fully a zhong realm expert.
You may be asking, couldn't he just absorb others blood to gain the boost in strength again? And the answer to that is yes. However, at his current strength, he can only absorb small bits of an 'alive' person blood which won't give much of an boost in power.
Of course he can fully absorb the blood of a dead person, but the geniuses of the mainlands aren't as weak as Xing Jiang. Afterall, most of them are geniuses of the Great Clans.
"CEO..." As Yu Sheng was thinking of all of this, Yu Xiaolian looked at him with a worried face. As if understanding what she was afraid of his heart felt warm.
'When was the last time someone felt so worried for my wellbeing?' He thought, the last time someone felt so worried about him was before he married Qing Yin. After that, the only person who ever felt worried about his wellbeing was his mother in his previous life.
"No need to worry about me. I am sure the Xu Emperor won't allow anyone to do anything to me. Not when he have plans for me in the near future." He quickly consoled while holding her hand gently.
"Besides, with my talent who dares mess with me?" He said rather arrogantly.
"Cocky bastard..." Xu Weizhe snored at his response.
"You two lovebirds, can't you get a room or something?" As for Xu Lengyu, he covered his eyes in pain. Yu Xiaolian was literally looking at Yu Sheng with hearts in her eyes.
"Uhhh.. I can see pink gas fill with love in the air."
"Don't act like its my fault your single." Yu Sheng sneered at Xu Lengyu teasing.
"Now that I think about it your life must be filled with loneliness huh? I mean, over a million years old, yet your still single... You must be feeling the same pain as the yinyue race." Xu Weizhe sighed while looking at Xu Lengyu with pitiful eyes.
Though, his smile said differently as he reveal a mocking grin.
"He's worst than the Yinyue Race. At least they are single for a reason. Xu Lengyu here is only single cause he can't hook up with a girl." Yu Sheng replied. He didn't like his people being compared with a bastard like Xu Lengyu.
"Hey! I am not single!" Xu Lengyu immediately retorted seeing everyone looking at him like a lonely old man who haven't experience what its like to touch a woman.
"I am dating the Alchemy Fairy—"
"You actually dared to say that shit in front of me again!" Yu Xiaolian eyes immediately began burning with endless fury at his words.
"I will kill you if you say that shit again! This time, I promise!" She uttered with murderous intent leaking out of her body.
"Anyways, what is so special about the Eternal Academy and this WBR Competition?" Yu Sheng quickly change the subject while placing his arm around Yu Xiaolian waist seeing that she really look like she was about to lash out on Xu Lengyu.
Seeing that she became calm like an obedient puppy Xu Lengyu sighed before answering Yu Sheng questioned, "To answer your first question. If you haven't known by now, the Eternal Academy principal is actually the Eternal Unknown...."
"Skip all the basics. I already know all of that." Yu Sheng raised his hand to stop him from talking.
"Alright. Well its pretty simply. The Eternal Academy have everything a person can dream of. And when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING."
"Weapons and techniques from every race that has been lost from the countless wars this world has experience. It also contains vast knowledge, knowledge that the outside world doesn't know."
"It also have the second half of the ancient scripture that we have desperately been trying to get. Not only that, but the endless energy there is so vast, it is said that when one reaches the pinnacle of the last realm of the first half of the ancient scripture they can immediately breakthrough there without the need of the second half.
"In brief, as I said, the Eternal Academy have everything." Xu Lengyu concluded.
"I see." Yu Sheng nodded his head in understanding.
"Then what about the WBR Competition?" Yu Sheng questioned again.
Xu Lengyu paused for a while as he thought about what to say before asking:
"Have you ever heard of the world spirit?"
"World spirit?" Yu Sheng raised his eyebrow a little confused by the title.
"That's right. The world spirit is the spirit of the Blue Domain. The spirit is basically the ruler of this entire planet. The same spirit that gave birth to the Eternal Blood and Eternal Unknown." Xu Lengyu explained.
"I understand... But what does the world spirit have to do with the WBR Competition?"
"Well lets just say that the world spirit is in a dormant state. History says that creating the two eternals took up most of its power. Due to that, it entered a weaken state. After the Eternal Unknown killed the Eternal Blood, causing an imbalance to the world, the gods outside tried taking control of the planet, but the world spirit defended itself by putting up a huge barrier around the world to stop gods from taking control over it."
"After that, the world spirit went to sleep as it did not have anymore energy to keep itself awake. Before falling into eternal slumber however, it gave itself fully to the Eternal Unknown and rumors been going around that the next WBR Competition reward will be that exact dormant world spirit."
Xu Lengyu explained quite tired of all the talking.
"I don't get something though. Whats so special about a dormant world spirit that even the Xu Emperor seems to desperately want it?" Yu Sheng asked again making Xu Lengyu quite irritated.
"Are you dumb? Its because anyone who can awaken the world spirit will essentially become its master. Becoming the true ruler of this world, something the Central Domain has been trying to do for the past 200 years." Before Xu Lengyu could answer, Xu Weizhe responded while looking at Yu Sheng as if he was truly stupid.
"So the Eternal Unknown basically betrayed the world spirit..." The fact that the world spirit would give itself to the Eternal Unknown while in a vulnerable state could only mean that it trusted him enough to protect it while it recovers its energy.
And yet here the Eternal Unknown is willing to give it up as an reward for a stupid competition to determine the World Hierarchy for the next 16 years....
"Pretty much. Which isn't very surprising. The Eternal Unknown has been labelled as a villain for many years. After all, he killed the Eternal Blood who was the only eternal of the human race, our creator. He even killed the Yinyue Ancestor who was closed to reaching the eternal realm. It's as if he does not wish to see anyone be at equal footing as him." Yu Xiaolian said with a slight shudder at how cruel the Eternal Unknown is.
"Indeed. But that's not our problem. Afterall, we won't ever become Domain Rulers, much less Eternals. It is simply impossible for a race to held more than one Domain Rulers after the Ancient Era." Xu Lengyu shook his head at the thought.
"Let's just leave that task to the Sword Sovereign. As long as he becomes a Domain Ruler we will immediately soar!" He said with a little bit of excitement in his voice to see the Sword Sovereign leave his seclusion as a Domain Ruler.
"Anyways, let's go. We already wasted a lot of time talking." He finished as he check the time, rushing them to hurry up and say their goodbyes as he head to his car.
"Next time we meet, I will shatter your confidence." Xu Weizhe stated while clenched his fist as if telling Yu Sheng he will utterly crush him in battle.
"Hmph, don't worry. The next time we meet I will play with you." Yu Sheng responded with a smug face.
"I will be waiting." Xu Weizhe smiled in anticipation as he began follow Xu Lengyu.
"Prince..." Seeing that it was only the two of them now, Yu Xiaolian didn't know what to say. When Yu Yaojing told her that the prince was in the human race and was close to her, she made it her effort to please his every need. She never thought she would be leaving without him.
"Yu Xiaolian has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?" Yu Sheng questioned. His sudden question catching her off-guard as her face became lit red.
"What—" Confused by the sudden question she looked into his eyes, but immediately regretted it. She gulped as she saw his eyes filled with obsession.
"The moment you accepted my beauty pill for free, your life belonged to me. I hope you know that my dear Xiaolian~"
"You tricked me..." She turn her face away from him. The look in his eyes was driving her crazy.
"Well you accepted it." Yu Sheng chuckled as he gently turn her face to face his with a serious expression.
"I won't be gone for long. Just give me at least 2 - 5 days and I will be by your side again. Now go and show the entire human race the power of the yinyue race." He commanded with an arrogant smile.
"As you wish Prince Sheng."
Soon Yu Sheng was the only one left as he watch them take off to the skies, leaving him.
"I guess I am alone again. Just like things were back on earth." He sighed at the thought as he feel the indifference in his heart that was hiding all this time resurface.
