Lord Xue Ying

The Divine Realm was vast.

Currently, a huge ship was flying amidst the clouds. According to what Xue Ying found out, it would take two more months before they arrived at the High Mountain City.

Xue Ying spent his days on the ship deducing out the laws for the Dao of Void of this world. He was gradually altering his Chaotic Origin Body Refining Technique, reducing the severity of damage his body was suffering. At the same time, Xue Ying was also dealing with this Third Lady ‘Imperial Wind Qing Yin’

“What happened to that person called Xiang Pang Yun? He did not kill your little brother in the end right?” Within a cabin on the huge ship, Imperial Wind Qing Yin was currently seated next to Xue Ying. She nervously asked Xue Ying about the aftermath.

“During the most dangerous and critical moment, I was fortunate to have a breakthrough, giving me the strength to kill Xiang Pang Yun in the end.” Xue Ying chuckled. Reminiscing about that scene when he was young made Xue Ying lament about it. Just that his parents and little brother were no longer around now. Even though Xue Ying could re-create their lives using the ‘Mirage Cosmos’, was there any point in doing that?

“Hu.” Imperial Wind Qing Yin let out a sigh of relief: “That’s good. I could feel myself panicking from hearing that.”

“Third Lady, since this Flying Snow could ascend into the Divine Realm, he is definitely an amazing character in the Lower Realm. Those who dare to be his enemies would definitely end up badly.” Housekeeper Yun chuckled by the side.

“That’s true too.” Imperial Wind Qing Yin nodded. nodded.

Suddenly, Imperial Wind Qing Yin said: “Oh right, God Monarch Flying Snow, what are you plans now?”

“As I mentioned before, I do not have any home in the Divine Realm and has always been wandering around.” Xue Ying chuckled.

“Why not stay behind in our High Mountain City?” Imperial Wind Qing Yin added, “The Great Wilderness is incredibly dangerous. It is safer to stay in the city.”

“I do have the intention to stay in the city and cultivate for a period. After encountering a crisis, I realize that my strength is still inadequate.” Xue Ying nodded.

“As an early stage God Monarch, you still dare to wander into the Great Wilderness.” Housekeeper Yun sneered from the side.

Imperial Wind Qing Yin disregarded it and continued: “It is good that God Monarch Flying Snow has the intention to cultivate within the city. Oh right, God Monarch Flying Snow, what is your original strength?”

“It should be roughly at the middle stage god Monarch Realm.” Xue Ying answered, “It is only because of my serious injuries which I haven’t recovered from that resulted in my current weakened state. I believe I should be able to regain my full strength in one and a half years.”

During these days, his body cultivation technique was gradually being altered, reducing the severity of his injuries and allowing his body to become stronger.

“Oh?”

Housekeeper Yun was astonished in his heart.

Middle stage god Monarch Realm?

Ascendants truly cultivated step by step since they were weak. They did not even have any assistance from a Chaotic Origin Ancestral God bloodline! Hence, Ascendants were usually stronger by an entire level than the natives of the Divine Realm at the same realm. If this God Monarch Flying Snow fully recovered his strength, regaining his middle stage god Monarch Realm, he would most likely be comparable to he, Housekeeper Yun.

After all, he was merely a late stage God Monarch, albeit with the magical ability ‘Jade Light God Eye’! Hence, he was stronger than ordinary late stage God Monarchs.

“Good.”

Imperial Wind Qing Yin immediately revealed a joyous look, “You are an Ascendant at the middle stage God Monarch Realm. I’ll definitely be able to convince my father and big brother. By then, God Monarch Flying Snow could simply take up a position with no obligations as a ‘Cultivation Mentor’. A Cultivation Mentor has no dangerous missions to undertake. Furthermore, you would be bestowed with some good benefits too. You are also qualified to enter the ‘Scripture Library’ to peruse some cultivation materials we have. If God Monarch Flying Snow is willing, you could even exchange for more benefits using contribution points.”

Xue Ying felt his heart getting moved.

Scripture Library?

What was the most direct way of researching the laws of a world?

Definitely by taking reference to cultivation techniques of other experts! Other experts had already summarized their cultivation path. As long as Xue Ying had a look, it would definitely make grasping the laws of this world much easier.

“Do you have scriptures for Ascendant?” Xue Ying asked.

When Imperial Wind Qing Yin heard the question, she became delighted. She smiled so brightly that even her eyes had become crescents: “The cultivation scriptures for Ascendants are really rare. But our High Mountain Imperial Wind Clan do store some of them.”

“Then Flying Snow will have to thicken my face.” Xue Ying gratefully replied, “Many thanks Third Lady.”

“Don’t be overly happy still. Not everyone is qualified to be a Cultivation Mentor.” Housekeeper Yun nonchalantly said, “You will still have to get the approval of Master and Young Master.”

Imperial Wind Qing Yin was confident about it: “Rest assured. Father and Big Brother will definitely agree to it.”

Housekeeper Yun felt helpless when he saw that.

And Xue Ying merely laughed in response.

He had lived with this Third Lady for just a month. Yet during this period, he could sense that the Third Lady was genuinely kind-hearted. She had treated Xue Ying really well and considered Xue Ying’s well-being before doing anything. No wonder Housekeeper Yun threatened himself not to ‘scheme against the Third Lady’.

‘No matter what, I have just arrived in this world. This grace I gained from Third Lady could only be repaid in the future.’ Xue Ying thought. Regardless, he planned on staying within the High Mountain City for a period! After all, he just needed to find a safe place. No matter where it was, Xue Ying could research into the laws of the world.

…

There were a total of several hundred people on this ship, including the officers, soldiers, protectors and servants.

With Xue Ying’s attainments in the Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm, he had easily increased his ‘charm’, increasing the goodwill of others towards him. But this could not be done too distinctly and the will of experts were not that easily moved. Hence, there were still several who did not show any goodwill towards Xue Ying, especially a protector who seemed to ‘hate’ him a lot.

This protector was known as ‘Tie Cheng Liu’.

Tie Cheng Liu was tall and big. His eyes were cold. His relations even with other protectors were very ordinary. Whenever he looked at Xue Ying, his eyes would be filled with cold and hatred. Given Xue Ying’s acute senses in the soul, Xue Ying easily felt some ‘vicious intent’ coming from the other party.

‘I have just come to this world and have never met him before. Why would he despise me so much?’ Xue Ying felt puzzled.

But he did not care about it.

It was just a protector who was merely a peak stage God General. That protector might be one step away from becoming a God Monarch, yet this step was as wide as a chasm. Hence, the disparity in their strength was enormous.

“We are here.”

“We have reached the High Mountain City.”

On a particular day, the ship resounded with cheers.

Standing at the head of the deck, Third Lady, Housekeeper Yun, the officers, soldiers, and many other servants revealed looks of joy! After all, none of them dared to relax when traveling out in the Great Wilderness.

‘High Mountain City.’ Xue Ying was also watching from afar. That was a huge city. But it did not seem as vast as the cities in Realm Heart Great LAnd. According to Xue Ying’s deduction, this High Mountain City was just several hundreds of thousands of kilometers wide.

After all, the soil and stone of this world were exaggeratedly heavy.

And the difficulty of constructing a city like this was not any less than constructing the capital of Southern Cloud Capital!

******

The main governor of the High Mountain City none other than the Imperial Wind Clan!

On this day when the ship reached the High Mountain City, within a palace in the residence of the Imperial Wind Clan.

Xue Ying saw the Crown Prince of the Imperial Wind Clan, who was also the acknowledged inheritor of the Imperial Wind Clan–––Imperial Wind Lei!

“Third Sister, is this the Ascendant that you have been praising about?” A tall and big male sat there. Lightning could be seen revolving faintly in his eyes. They gave off an extraordinary grandeur.

“Greetings Crown Prince.” Xue Ying slightly bowed.

When Imperial Wind Lei saw that, he chuckled: “I’ve always heard that Ascendants are incredibly proud and arrogant. And that is truly a justified reputation.”

“They have been the strongest experts back in their hometowns in the Lower Realm. It is natural for them to be filled with pride.” Seated by the side, Imperial Wind Qing Yin explained, “It is said that Ascendants have a hard time cultivating in the Divine Realm. However, God Monarch Flying Snow has reached the middle stage God Monarch realm. This is not an easy task at all.”

Imperial Wind Lei slightly nodded: “It is indeed an arduous task. Since my little sister has said it, God Monarch Flying Snow, you shall take on the role as a Cultivation Mentor in my Imperial Wind Clan from now on. I will also arrange a place for you to stay within the city.”

“Many thanks, Crown Prince.” Xue Ying obediently replied.

…

That’s right.

After meeting this Crown Prince Imperial Wind Lei, Xue Ying merely said two sentences–’Greetings Crown Prince’, and the other being ‘Many thanks, Crown Prince’ before being arranged to leave. That Crown Prince Imperial Wind Lei was clearly more enthusiastic about hearing out from his sister on her experience of ‘venturing into the wilderness’.

A residence occupying an area spanning a quarter kilometers was arranged for Xue Ying to stay in. Xue Ying was also bestowed with two huge boxes of treasures.

“Teacher Flying Snow, the things are here. The few of us will make our move first.”

“Many thanks everyone.”

Xue Ying sent the soldiers from the Imperial Wind Clan off with his eyes. Looking at this residence, he immediately smiled.

This place would most likely be a place he called ‘home’ for a long period in this world.

…

On the second night after arriving at High Mountain City.

Xue Ying was calmly meditating in the meditation room. At night, there was a red and a silver-white moon hanging in the sky. The brilliance from the moon shone across the courtyard. It was quiet.

“Mn?” Xue Ying frowned.

His soul was incredibly perceptive.

And he had felt the suppression of killing intent coming in his direction!

‘There are assassins?’ Xue Ying felt puzzled, ‘This is just my second day here in the High Mountain City yet there are people who want to kill me already?’
