Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Blue Feather Heavenly Palace.

It was once said that: In the south, the emperor reigns supreme over the three realms, and in the north, Lan Yu rules the nine provinces.

If one were to truly choose a sect within the Kuntian Domain that could rival the Emperor's Pavilion, then the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace would undoubtedly be the one.

Speaking of which, the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace and the Northern Ice Palace of the Desolate Heaven Domain are somewhat similar. According to rumors, the first palace master of the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace was Blue Feather Heavenly Ice, one of the twenty-one supreme beings. Like the Northern Ice Palace, the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace also had the personal protection of a supreme being, so its status was naturally higher than that of other sects.

However, the relationship between Blue Feather Heavenly Palace and the Emperor Pavilion is not one of competition. On the contrary, the two have an extremely close relationship and have even announced their alliance to the whole world.

Therefore, the Kuntian Domain will not present a chaotic situation of confrontation between the two forces, but rather a rare situation where two tigers can coexist on one mountain, jointly controlling the entire Kuntian Domain.

This is also why the people from Blue Feather Heavenly Palace arrive a few days in advance to offer their congratulations at the Emperor's Pavilion Grand Banquet.

"Uncle-Master, what kind of person do you think the successor of the Emperor's Pavilion will be?"

Within the territory of the Imperial Pavilion.

Wearing a fitted short-sleeved shirt from the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace, with light blue as the main color and gray as the secondary color, and with her long hair tied up in a ponytail, she had a delicate appearance and spoke in a neutral voice that sounded both male and female.

In addition, his delicate features and fair skin, though he looked somewhat feminine, exuded an air of grandeur with every step he took. Although somewhat flamboyant, it wouldn't be unreasonable to call him a man.

He had a pair of rather peculiar eyes. Unlike the usual bright and ethereal eyes, his pupils seemed to hold something hidden within them. At a cursory glance, they appeared as if covered by a thick layer of dust, with very little luster in them.

What's even more peculiar is that this eerie sight only lasted for a short while before the layer of dust dissipated, replaced by captivating, watery eyes that made one's heart flutter.

"I just looked around and there doesn't seem to be anyone particularly special nearby!"

"That's for sure. The successor of the Emperor's Pavilion has never appeared in the public eye."

Standing beside him was a slightly tall and thin man in a light blue robe who looked helplessly at the boy beside him: "Let's put aside the matter of succession for now. Tianyi, can you tell your martial uncle why you are dressed as a man again?"

Lan Tian chuckled and patted his head. "I just wanted to see if there were any pretty girls in the Emperor's Pavilion. If there were, maybe I could..."

"So you can flirt with people, huh?" The man rolled his eyes at Lan Tianyi, who had this unusual hobby, and sighed helplessly. "Tianyi, I'm not saying this to criticize you, but even if you're trying to imitate Emperor Wen, you don't need to go to this extent, do you?"

"Hmph~" Lan Tian pouted and shook her finger at the man: "This is something you don't understand, Uncle-Master. You have never understood the elegance and unrestrained spirit of Emperor Wen. I am honing my literary skills!"

The man's lips twitched violently: "To hone one's literary skills, one must imitate the Emperor Wen... So, those who cultivate martial arts, wouldn't they have to imitate the Emperor Wu, smashing their own bodies nine times and then rebuilding them nine times? If they really did that, all those who cultivate martial arts in the world would probably have died out long ago."

"Hmph!" Lan Tian snorted, knowing he couldn't refute his martial uncle's words any further, so he simply threw a tantrum: "I don't care, I think it's great!"

Faced with Lan Tianyi's stubbornness, the man shook his head with a wry smile.

He was well aware of Lan Tianyi's insistence. In reality, the so-called "cultivating literary skills" was just an excuse. The reason this girl dressed up as a man and imitated Emperor Wen was simply because she admired that great man from the bottom of her heart.

Although the way of worship was a bit peculiar—imitating Emperor Wen's flirting with women.

Similar things have happened before. For example, three female disciples from the Thousand Flowers Sect went directly to the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace and said they wanted to be with Lan Tianyi for all eternity. There were also groups of mortal women who were fortunate enough to have been with Lan Tianyi who shouted at the foot of the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace. There was even a group of more open-minded female cultivators who gathered together and asked Lan Tianyi to choose them for a night.

As her uncle, he wasn't entirely sure if Lan Tianyi was indeed dashing and charming. After all, the word "dashing" didn't really apply to her, but the word "charming"...

That would be a huge deal.

"Speaking of which, the Imperial Pavilion is really big, even bigger than our place!"

Lan Tian looked around and gazed at the endless streets, the countless towering buildings decorated with gold and gold, the ancient courtyards everywhere, and the gardens with their unique styles... It was like a hodgepodge, with houses of all styles put together.

There is a reason for this, of course.

Although the Emperor Pavilion is called a sect, it is actually more like a family in the Extreme Heaven Domain, because the vast majority of the Emperor Pavilion's disciples are family members. Unless they encounter someone with extraordinary talent, the Emperor Pavilion rarely accepts outsiders as disciples.

The reason is simple—they do not want to pollute the bloodline of the Martial Emperor.

Most of them are extremely proud of having the blood of Emperor Gu Tianren flowing in their veins, and they believe it is proof that they are superior to others. Therefore, the people of the Emperor's Pavilion are mostly indifferent to outsiders.

That being said, not all people born in the Emperor's Pavilion are cultivation prodigies. There are also some ordinary people who are born unable to cultivate, with blocked spiritual roots and weak meridians. These people are not disliked, but they are not allowed to cultivate. They can still live in the Emperor's Pavilion as ordinary people.

After all, the Emperor Pavilion is as large as an empire. As time goes by, more and more ordinary people are unable to cultivate, and more and more streets belong to ordinary people. The Emperor Pavilion does not have anything like family planning. In recent years, the number of mortals in the Emperor Pavilion has been increasing, but the number of cultivators has also been increasing. The number one sect in the three heavenly domains has not shown any signs of decline.

This is why Lan Tianyi saw so many mortals inside the Emperor's Pavilion.

The man glanced at Lan Tianyi, who was looking around at him, sighed, reached out and patted the girl's head, and said calmly, "Don't wander around aimlessly. We're here to attend the Emperor's Pavilion banquet. Before that, we need to meet up with Master Xu."

"Oh~ Old Man Xu!" Lan Tianyi uttered a rather disrespectful address for this world-class powerhouse: "He's here too?"

"Xu Banxian had a good relationship with the previous Emperor Pavilion Master. I heard that their fathers were sworn brothers. Although they didn't interact closely, judging from their fathers' relationship, their relationship was quite good. He will naturally attend this Emperor Pavilion banquet."

"I see~" Lan Tianyi nodded knowingly, clearly not taking these words to heart.

To her, this kind of boring gossip is completely meaningless.

"but--"

The man's words startled Lan Tian.

According to Master Xu, he had another reason for coming here—

Lan Tian immediately became interested, her bright eyes widening as she stared curiously at her martial uncle's solemn face: "What?"

The man glanced at her, then recalled what Xu Banxian had told him before he left.

"He said that he might meet the person he foretold at the Imperial Palace banquet this time."

"prophecy?!"

Lan Tian was stunned. Only then did he remember that he seemed to have entrusted some important item to the legendary prophet.

However, until now, the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace has been extremely peaceful and is even developing rapidly. The earth-shattering scene predicted in the prophecy has not occurred.

And she seems to have not encountered the person who made the prophecy for a very, very long time.

Could it be that this time it's going to be...?

"Tianyi?" The man stared at the dazed Lan Tianyi and called her name in confusion.

"what?!"

Lan Tian recovered from his daze, scratched his face awkwardly, and forced a smile, "What's wrong, Uncle-Master?"

"You suddenly seem lost in thought, what's wrong?"

"No...it's nothing." Lan Tian smiled and brushed it off, then quickly changed the subject: "More importantly, let's hurry up and meet up with Old Man Xu! The Emperor's Pavilion banquet starts tomorrow, right?"

"That's right..."

The man glanced at Lan Tianyi with a complicated expression: "Then let's go."

"Okay, Uncle-Master~"

Lan Tian smiled, looking completely carefree.

The man sighed silently. As the guardian who raised Lan Tianyi, he had truly worried himself sick over her.

However, speaking of prophecies, he did recall one.

If Xu Banxian's prophecy is correct, then the person who made the prophecy is probably the only one who can save the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace.

However, no one knows when that day will come.

……

Watching the man and Lan Tianyi's retreating figures, the young man in the white shirt holding a candied hawthorn on the street corner narrowed his eyes.

Then, a girl's voice came from beside her ear—

"Hey you old rogue, what's wrong? Is there poison in the candied hawthorn?"

The young man in white turned around and glanced at the silver-haired girl sitting in a wheelchair, munching on a candied hawthorn, and said indifferently, "If it were poisonous, you would be dead on the spot by now."

"Then why did you suddenly stop leaving?"

"fine."

Yunping looked at the two figures that were getting further and further away, and took out the strange coins that he had received from a woman disguised as a man a long time ago.

"I just saw an acquaintance I'd met before."

Ye Yuchan raised an eyebrow: "An old flame?"

Yunping turned around, looked at Yuchan, whose face was full of suspicion, and stuffed the candied hawthorn into the girl's mouth.

"Just enjoy your candied hawthorn and stop thinking about all that nonsense."

Yu Chan bit off the top of the candied hawthorn, her mouth full of syrup, and said, "I just asked you a question, and you reacted so strongly. It must be your old flame."

Yunping rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky: "Alright, alright, stop with the nonsense. Instead of this, let's think about where we're going to stay tonight."

Where do you think it's a good place to stay?

The old rogue was taken aback, then grinned, a smile that made Ye Yuchan feel uneasy.

"Or..." He stared at Ye Yuchan, a sly smile spreading across his face, "...a love hotel?"

"Get lost."

84. People from all directions

Today is likely to be a day that will go down in history for the three great celestial realms.

Because today, the Imperial Pavilion is hosting a grand banquet to welcome its new Pavilion Master.

The Emperor Pavilion is universally recognized as the number one sect in the world. It is not only the number one sect in the Kun Tian Domain, but also the undisputed emperor among the three major domains. The name of the Emperor Pavilion is truly well-deserved.

Even the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace, which could rival it to some extent, was willing to submit to the Emperor. This shows that the Emperor's Pavilion was far more powerful than ordinary people could imagine.

The change of the head of the Emperor's Pavilion is like the abdication of the emperor who controls the whole world and the ascension of a new emperor.

Yes, it's called a grand banquet to pass on the throne, but in most people's eyes, it's practically a coronation ceremony!

A new legend is about to unfold!

Kuntian Domain, Emperor's Pavilion.

In this vast area, which is almost as wide as a country, the entire Imperial Pavilion, including the hundreds of mountains surrounding its gate, is filled with banquets.

Not only was it limited to the territory of the Emperor Pavilion, but even large areas outside the territory were included in the scope of the Emperor Pavilion Grand Banquet. This Emperor Pavilion Grand Banquet occupied almost a quarter of the entire Kuntian Domain.

No one was dissatisfied with this; in fact, many sects were overjoyed to be chosen as the venue for the Emperor's Pavilion banquets simply because of their proximity to it.

For them, this was an immense honor, as if the emperor were hosting a banquet in their own home.

Besides the familiar dishes and fruits that aid cultivation, the banquet also featured many dishes made from rare spiritual herbs and the flesh and blood of magical beasts, which were excellent cultivation materials for cultivators.

Such dishes, which are so rare in the eyes of most sects that they would not normally dare to eat, are neatly arranged and displayed at every banquet.

This shows that the Emperor Pavilion is incredibly wealthy; in terms of wealth, it is probably even stronger than the Lantian Empire in the Desolate Sky Domain.
