After days of measuring the talent of the youths present, those with platinum coloured talent were about thirty of them and the rest were either at silver, gold or their talent hadn't blossomed yet. And today, Zhou Jie the princess was the last one to take the talent measuring. This was partly due to her curiosity and mostly due to showcasing just how talented the Royal Family was so that the people of the Azure Empire would have more faith in them and be proud of their empire. She descended from the private area and landed elegantly on stage where the judge stood and greeted her with respect and so did everyone else. She then placed her hand on the orb which like the Sword Sect Yin Yang twins,the orb quickly changed colour until it became black and tints of gold could be seen inside the orb but the fusion of the two was much slower than that of the twins.An embryo of a snake appeared within the orb and was quickly growing, it turned into a tiny snake in a matter of minutes,then two

About a week later, the Pagoda Selections had ended, some were dissatisfied with their battles like Huo Mingmei. Her battle was relatively easy that she won without even showing off, He Long had trampled on many young and arrogant geniuses but feltthat it was no longer enough. All his opponents couldn't take more than ten moves from him before they'd be defeated. He longed to battle the Black talent geniuses but couldn't due to the rules. Knowing that there were powerful opponents in front of him but still couldn't fight them left a bad taste in his mouth but there wasn't anything he could do about the current situation. The spectators were content with the battles they had watched as it was something completely different to them, they enjoyed watching cultivators showcase their mystic abilities and skills. Just when His Majesty was about to announce the end of the Pagoda Selections even though everyone knew that it had already ended since there weren't any participants still holdi

"WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT?!"Asked a lady wearing green robes made from the finest material, she had long,silky,beautiful hair, long eyelashes, a body that would incite lust even to a Buddhist monk. She was so beautiful with her jade-like eyes and milky white skin that was smoother than silk itself. She was a disciple of the Jade Sect and everyone there called her Delicate Flower due to her looks. The Jade Sect was one of the most powerful sects in the Azure continent and only accepted women. It was currently ranked the second strongest sect in this continent. There was a total of five sects also known as The Big Five,the number one sect and the most powerful of them all was the Invincible Sect, the Jade Sect came in second place, Sword Sect came third place, Rainbow Sect came was the forth and finally the Buddhist Sect which was ranked last. The reason why it was placed last was because no one knows anything about this sect as they've always secluded themselves from worldly affai

Lady Killer, Delicate Flower and the others never expected Su Jin's reply to be so… honest actually. This was an unexpected question that most wouldn't have even dared think of an answer and just kneel like everyone but Su Jin wasn't just anyone. Even the Elders and Sect Leaders of various sects hadn't expected such an answer. It wasn't exactly a crime to kneel to His Majesty as he had done so in the past but he simply wouldn't do it now, especially when it sounded like he was being told what to do. "If you don't want to, you also don't have to kneel. No one is forcing you to do this, you did it voluntarily." Su Jin's words almost scared the shit out of all the younger generation, they didn't have to kneel if they didn't want to? What kind of bullshit was that. Even if they had ten hearts of a lion, they still wouldn't dare be so brazen in front of His Majesty, he was on par with some of the Sect Leaders in strength. "How impudent you are? His Majesty's status alone is enough reason

The Long Emperor didn't know what the hell was now going on but was very glad that his cultivation base was higher than that of his sister who was now trying to kill him. Seeing everything in slow motion, he slight toughed the tip of his sword and raised it up a little, this caused the Empress's sword to clash with his sword handle. The Empress then shifted her sword slightly to the side and aimed for his head, as though he had eyes at the back of his head, Emperor Long tilted his head and the sword moved pass him, the gap between his head and the sword was only a few inches. He then took two steps back and attacked the Empress with his elbow, it landed on the stomach and sent her flying back. "My little sister, you're no match for me. What you're doing is only hurting yourself so why don't you wait for that useless husband of yours to come over." The Empress as well as the Royal Army were seething with anger when Emperor Long made fun of him right in front of them. The Royal Army u
