Every new disciple had started moving towards their reserved Accommodations.
The People from Cangmang Continent passed through the verdant mountain, before ultimately coming to a stop at the rear of the mountain. At the waist of the mountain stood exquisite little house after house, powerful Genesis Qi pulsing in the surroundings.
Behind them, Shen Wanjin sighed and remarked, "The treatment of Yuan Bro, and Big Sis Yao Yao is countless times better than third-class disciples like us."
Perhaps for the new disciples to better look out for each other, the Cangxuan Sect had temporarily grouped the geniuses from the same continent together.
Shen Wanjin, Xiao Tianxuan and the rest were situated at the foot of the mountain nearby. However, their living quarters were what seemed to be a series of joined little huts that looked rather simplistic. Compared to Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao, the difference was pretty vast.
The others nodded one after another, envy filling their eyes.
They were geniuses who had lived a life of luxury in the past. Now, however, their living standards had fallen drastically, and it was going to be pretty hard to get used to.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan, Yao Yao, and Tuntun were leisurely roaming the mountains.
"So why did you create such a ruckus on the first day.", Yaoyao asked.
"Nothing it was just a move on my part to attract the attention of the higher-ups of the sect, and also a way to ensure that we get sufficient protection and resources from the sect in the future."
"We joined the Sect to pursue our cultivation so we need our best to squeeze things from them and to do so we need to create an air of mystery around us, people are always attracted to things they can't figure out be it intentionally or unintentionally."
"So we need to have enough importance in their eyes so we could have access to things which normal disciples can't."
"This is the main reason we also need to have much importance for the sect so that it can interfere even if the Sacred Palace targets us in the future."
"I see,", Yao Yao nodded her head a little as she understood Zhou Yuan's other motives behind his actions.
"And the most important was having an abundance of Genesis Crystals so we need not hesitate in buying resources, techniques, foods, or daily essentials and most importantly ensure that my little minx can live a life where the money is not a bother for, so she could but and try all the wines she likes.", In the middle of his talk he had wrapped his hand around her waist all the while his other hand had lifted her chin with a delicate touch, guiding her gaze to meet his.
Tuntun also sensed that something in the air was different so he quickly turned his head and looked around in an attempt to make himself invisible.
Yaoyao on the other hand quietly looked into Zhou Yuan's eyes. His eyes were so beautiful that whenever she looked into them she would be lost in in. His eyes were a mix of Gold and red, while his eyes may make others with bad intentions dare not look into them, to her they radiated endless warmth and love, Yao Yao had heard that eyes are the window to one's soul.
Whenever she looked into his eyes she could feel his determination to protect her, cherish her, and his love for her.
She didn't care about others but she was sure that his beautiful eyes were a window to his even more beautiful soul.
She used her hand to caress the side of his face.
Both of them kept looking at each other.
Unexpectedly it was Yao Yao who took the first step.
Her lips met his in a soft, affectionate kiss, a silent exchange of deep connection and feeling.
Their lips met in a slow, deliberate kiss, each moment lingering as if to savor the connection they shared.
Both Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao did not push for more as they just enjoyed each other's embrace and connection.
After a while their lips separated as Yao Yao rested her head on his shoulders.
"Zhou Yuan I want to stay in your accommodation."
"Done, but don't blame me if you find me creeping into your bed."
Yaoyao blushed a little but soon she snorted, "At least try to hide your thoughts and intentions."
"There is no need to You are mine and mine alone.", Zhou Yuan suddenly grasped her cheeks, "Anyone who comes between me and you, or tries to even harm you will be erased from existence sooner or later."
Hearing his voice Yaoyao shivered a little as she sensed that he was speaking the truth, and the way he said it made something inside her churn.
"Anyways let's go on"
What Zhou Yuan didn't know was that he had caught the eyes of the Sect Higher-ups sooner than expected.
...
...
...
Meanwhile on one of the highest peaks in the Cangxuan Sect.
Chen Yuan was seen bowing to Six figures who were originally having a discussion.
"... and this all that happened Sect Master and Peak Masters."
Meanwhile, the figures who thought they could no longer be surprised were even more surprised.
"Did all of this happen Chen Yuan?"
"Yes Sect Master I dare not lie and all of this happened before my eyes."
"hmm how interesting"
"This kid is fascinating Senior Brother, this is the first time something like this happened in the outer Mountains.", Gu Tianhong the peak master of Great Cliff Peak said.
"Hmph Tianhong, just because he is a little strong doesn't mean anything special, he is probably just like you a muscle brain who doesn't appreciate spirit Cultivation and only focuses on Body Cultivation.", Tian Shu, the peak master of Spirit Rune Peak.
"You"
Both of them did not get along with each other very much. One believed cultivating the body was right while the other believed cultivating the spirit was right.
They are both brothers, not because of their blood relations but because they were the disciples of Supreme Sovereign Cang Xuan.
So while they bantered like this they didn't hate each other.
Chen Yuan who was in the front nearly choked when he heard Tian Shu. He felt like he needed to point out some crucial things.
"Ahmm, Respected Peak Masters there are also some very important things that I forgot to point out."
Qing Yang who was still in his thoughts was interested.
"Go on"
Gu Tianhong and Tian Shu also fell silent.
"The thing is that despite being only in the 2nd Layer of Alpha Layer Origin Zhou Yuan has Grade-7 Genesis Qi, and his spirit Cultivation is even stronger than his Genesis Qi cultivation, he is in Intermediate Corporeal Spirit Realm."
Silence
After Chen Yuan finished speaking silence enveloped the hall.
"Sect Master, I will recruit him to my Peak"*2
"You Muscle Head do not copy me."
"You White Mustache do not copy me"
"Enough, both of you", Qing Yang was finally out of patience.
"Senior Brother, Can I take this kid, please?", A female voice which was Enchanting yet filled with an undertone of allure, sounded.
The Speaker was Liu Lianyi, a gorgeous woman with a tall and slender figure. She is dressed in lotus-decorated palace garbs which accentuated her fine curves. Her facial features are also extremely pretty, with her hair being black which was pulled in a ponytail.
She had a mature and graceful aura. In a modern man's words, she had a body that screamed of sexiness despite her remaining unmarried and being a virgin.
"What?" "Junior Sister even you?"
Qing Yang himself was a little shocked as this was unnatural of her but soon he shook his head.
"Sorry Junior Sister, this is not possible, we also have to consider the choice of that little lad, and as far as I know this lad also received Baptism from Teacher's Saint Blood."
"Ohh Really", Liu Lianyi's eyes brightened up.
"And Teacher's remnant spirit also protected him from the envoy from sacred Palace, despite him being nowhere near the domain."
At this, a look of guilt flashed Liu Lianyi's eyes but soon it faded away, replaced by a determined look.
"And from what Mu Wuji had informed me this little guy has very amazing achievements, his Genesis Qi pillar was 1054 feet in height when breaking through to the Heaven Gate Realm and his spirit cultivation was that of Initial Corporeal Realm, and various other achievements in the Saint Remains Domain."
"You all know what this indicates right?"
All of them including Lei Jun nodded their heads.
Receiving baptism from a saint's blood could even make a person with little talent a High-level genius. Not to mention that Zhou Yuan had such talent even before being baptized from Saint's Blood.
"With his talent and saint blood's baptism, he is sure to reach the Law Domain Realm and if he encounters some big opportunity he also has the chance to touch upon that Realm."
Upon this mention the eyes of all peak masters showed yearning, how could they not?
This stage was naturally the Saint Realm. Once one reaches this realm they become a Fabled being who is different from the rest of the world. Their Teacher/Sect Master was a Saint.
However, Zhou Yuan's arrival also brought hope to the former overlord of Cangxuan Heaven.
If this could grow up without being killed he was sure to tilt favor in their matters, especially in such an era where Sacred Palace was the Overlord.
While everyone was thinking about this seriously only Lei Jun and Ling Jun appeared to be in deep thought about something else.
Soon they were broken out of their thoughts by Qing Yang's voice.
"After the election, we will not force him nor try to influence him too much about joining our respective peaks as that would be detrimental instead we will let him choose by himself, so this can be considered fair to all of us too..."
Liu Lianyi on the side interjected, "Senior Brother, I will follow your instructions but I will be the first one to invite him will that be okay?"
Although it was like a question the men in the room knew that this was a statement, and the dangerous shift her tone took in the end made nearly all of them shiver.
They didn't know why this little ancestor was so fixated on this boy but they did not want to question her especially when she had conceded first and looked like would not back down even if they did not agree.
Qing Yang who knew the temper of his junior sister helplessly nodded as he did not want to deny her and further push her her buttons.
"Chen Yuan thank you for informing us, you may take a leave now."
But Chen Yuan who was in the front stood still in his spot, he was a little confused.
"Sect Master, does this mean Zhou Yuan is not going to get punished."
"Punished? Haha, why would he be punished? He did not harm them in a sneak attack but in an open battle where he was alone against all of the Shengzhou Continent Disciples and yet he won against them."
"This will teach the Shengzhou Continent Disciples a good lesson and teach them to be a little humble."
"As for the Genesis Crystals, special circumstances call for special exceptions, I believe this occasion is a special one, so we all will turn a blind eye to this, isn't that right Peak Masters?", with a twinkle in his eyes Qing Yang turned to the Peak Masters.
All of them nodded their heads, while three of them did so while smiling while the other 2 wore an indifferent expression.
Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, personally he didn't want Zhou Yuan to be punished as the little guy was very interesting.
Whenever he was assigned to the Outer Mountains, it was monotonous as only the Shengzhou Continent Disciples led the competition, but with Zhou Yuan, he was sure that this tradition was going to be broken.
He then cupped his hands and bowed, "Thank you for receiving me Sect Master, Peak masters, I will see myself out."
Chen Yuan turned around and left the Peak.
In just a day, Zhou Yuan's name had entered everyone's ears, well not his name specifically but the title he was given by the rest of the people who witnessed and experienced the beatdown.
The Demon King.
