Xi Kenmaldo said, "It seems you've heard something. The Purple Mountain Clan and the Yu Mountain Clan are the two most important families of the Dayu Empire. Eight hundred years ago, the Undying Yu Mountain Emperor inherited the Dayu Empire and bestowed the throne upon the Undying Purple Mountain. However, the Undying Purple Mountain died during an adventure, and for certain reasons, the Purple Mountain Clan had to retreat and gradually disappeared. You are the sole descendant of the Purple Mountain Clan."
Lu Yin's eyes flickered, but he remained silent.
Xi Kenmaldo continued, "I know what you're thinking. The Undying Purple Mountain was not killed by the Emperor. Everyone knows this."
Lu Yin was surprised. "Why?"
Xi Kenmaldo sighed, "Before the Emperor inherited the throne, the Dayu Empire was just a small power in the Canglan Territory. It was the Emperor and the Undying Purple Mountain who painstakingly brought the Dayu Empire to its current state. But that wasn't enough. The Emperor's wish was to lead the Dayu Empire into the Inner Universe. Without the Undying Purple Mountain, it would be very difficult for the Emperor to achieve this alone. The Emperor had great vision and wouldn't have harmed the Undying Purple Mountain at such a critical time."
"Enough, I don't have time to hear the history of the Dayu Empire. I just want to know my current status," Lu Yin said impatiently.
Xi Kenmaldo replied seriously, "You are the heir to the Purple Mountain throne. I have received an order directly from the Emperor. Lu Yin, from the moment your identity was confirmed, you are the Purple Mountain King, the Purple Mountain King of our Dayu Empire."
Lu Yin was astonished. "That easily? No need for a series of complicated procedures? No need to go to your Dayu Empire's capital star for re-evaluation?"
Xi Kenmaldo shook his head, "No need. All data on the Yili ship is connected to the empire. Everything about you is visible to the Emperor. The Emperor has already acknowledged you as the official Purple Mountain King. Once you return to the capital star and meet the Emperor, everything that belongs to the Purple Mountain King will be bestowed upon you."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. This was exactly what he liked. To prepare for the duel with Qing Yu, he had used up all his star energy crystals to extend the time stop space to five days. All the star energy crystals he had robbed during the trial were gone, and he was worrying about how to obtain more. It seemed he didn't need to worry anymore.
"By the way, if you need help on the capital star in the future, you can turn to the Maldo family. I've instructed my family to assist you as much as possible," Xi Kenmaldo said, then handed Lu Yin a personal terminal, a very ordinary one. "Take it, it's convenient."
Lu Yin glanced at him, nodded, "Thank you. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
Xi Kenmaldo nodded. As Lu Yin walked to the door, he suddenly said, "There's a woman named Mira. If you see her, be very careful."
Lu Yin acknowledged with a hum and walked out of the command room.
Xi Kenmaldo's attitude puzzled Lu Yin. Even if he was the so-called Purple Mountain King, he was at most a nominal king with no real power, just a young man in the Exploration Realm. Why was Xi Kenmaldo being so nice to him? Could he have a connection with the Purple Mountain Clan?
At the same time, Ras met with Shaluo Shu.
"What? That bastard is really a descendant of the Purple Mountain Clan and has been acknowledged by the Emperor to inherit the Purple Mountain throne?" Ras shouted incredulously.
Shaluo Shu's cold eyes stared at Ras.
Ras's back went cold. He quickly took two steps back, not daring to speak further.
Shaluo Shu said coldly, "Remember, don't yell at me again. Otherwise, I'll cut out your tongue."
Cold sweat dripped from Ras's forehead, and he hurriedly apologized. Although his father was the Deputy Minister of Finance, in terms of power, he couldn't compare to the Thirteen Imperial Guards. Shaluo Shu was the deputy captain of the Twelfth Imperial Guard, with far more real power than his father. If it weren't for his father's control over part of the financial power, Shaluo Shu wouldn't even bother with him.
"In the future, keep your distance from that Lu Yin. Even though he only has a title, if he uses it against you, you have to comply," Shaluo Shu said coldly.
Ras quickly agreed.
Shaluo Shu snorted coldly, his gaze turning towards the dark universe. Purple Mountain King? Let's see how long you can last. If trouble arises, the empire will also be thrown into chaos.
On the other side, Jenny Oona was also furious. "Why is it like this? A foreign prince is no joke. How can a mere native inherit?"
Tolle Oona smiled wryly. "Miss, don't be angry. This matter is already decided. The captain has instructed you to stay away from that person in the future."
"Why? Is the Purple Mountain King that great?" Jenny Oona said discontentedly.
Tolle Oona sighed. He wanted to tell Jenny Oona some things but didn't dare. If he spoke out, this girl would definitely lose her temper. Better let the patriarch handle it!
For two days straight, Lu Yin didn't leave his room. He was recovering his body while studying the star chart. The power of the fourth star's explosion was almost twice that of three stars. He eagerly anticipated the emergence of the fifth star. If it appeared during his battle with Qing Yu, he wouldn't need the help of a Fusion Realm expert. He could crush Qing Yu himself.
Unfortunately, the Heaven Star Technique was only elementary, capable of simulating a maximum of eight stars. Once he reached the Fusion Realm, the effectiveness of the Heaven Star Palm might diminish, especially when facing other geniuses with powerful combat techniques. The Heaven Star Palm would become increasingly inadequate. It was a pity.
"Do you study the star chart every day because it's related to your technique?" A melodious voice sounded behind him, accompanied by a faint fragrance.
Lu Yin's expression changed dramatically as he turned around sharply. Before him stood a pure-looking woman with white hair cascading down to her ankles, a small tuft of hair on her forehead tied up, looking at him with interest.
"Who are you?" Lu Yin didn't act rashly. His first reaction upon seeing this woman was that he couldn't fight her. She had approached him silently, without his detection, not even his Heaven Star Technique had reacted. She was terrifying.
"My name is Mira," the white-haired woman smiled faintly, her eyes revealing a hint of red.
Mira? Lu Yin's heart moved as he recalled Xi Kenmaldo's warning two days ago. "Do you need something from me?"
Mira smiled and walked past Lu Yin, her white hair fluttering. She slowly sat down, her smooth right leg crossing over her left. Her bare foot moved slightly, her toenails painted a seductive red. She stared at Lu Yin. "Can you tell me why you look at the star chart every day?"
Lu Yin gazed at Mira, his expression serious. "I have amnesia. I'm trying to find my way home."
Mira twirled her white hair with her right hand. "Do you know who I am?"
Lu Yin shook his head.
Mira said calmly, "I come from the Inner Universe and am a member of the Cosmic Youth Council."
Lu Yin's pupils contracted. The Cosmic Youth Council was a terrifying organization that, in theory, could judge all young people across the universe and legally possessed military forces. The Dayu Empire Youth Council was a subordinate organization of it.
"I was the one who announced the dissolution of your Dayu Empire Youth Council. Now, do you understand?" Mira continued.
Lu Yin took a deep breath. "What does this have to do with me?"
Mira stood up and slowly walked to Lu Yin, lifting her hand and using her index finger to lift his chin. Her entire being exuded an intoxicating aura. "I admire you. I can recommend you to join the Outer Universe Youth Council. The condition is that you must join the Tenth Academy of the Starry Sky and achieve some accomplishments for me."
Lu Yin stared into Mira's eyes, the red tint becoming more apparent. This woman made his entire body feel hot and attracted, yet also emitted an invisible, imperceptible danger that chilled him. "Why me?"
Mira's smile was enchanting, her gaze captivating. "Your talent is unique. Can you tell me what use it has?"
Lu Yin took a few steps back. "Just because of my talent?"
Mira retracted her hand. "Any talent cultivator can directly join the Cosmic Youth Council. This is the promise of the Ten Judgments. But the Cosmic Youth Council's scope is vast. The Dayu Empire Youth Council is just one part of it. Ordinary talent cultivators can only join this level. Only those with extraordinary talent can directly join the Cosmic Youth Council. Which do you think you belong to?"
Lu Yin had never thought of joining the Youth Council based on his talent. His talent was not too poor but too strong. The six-sided die, each side's ability was astonishing. If possible, he didn't want to expose it. But it was seen during his battle with Qing Yu. Xi Kenmaldo hadn't asked much but must have speculated. This woman was the first to ask directly.
"My talent can speed up the healing process, nothing else," Lu Yin said.
