The next day.
Yu Long walked to the Blue Wind Profound Palace with Cang Yue, Xia Qingyue, and Hong Guan. They are here to pick fighters to represent Blue Wind Empire for the incoming Blue Wind Ranking Tournament.
You might wonder where Lily, Jasmine, Chu Yueli, and Chu Yuechan were.
Well, Jasmine was busy learning things from Lily. As for the Chu Sisters, they are staying in the Blue Wind Imperial Palace because two of them are about to break through.
"Why are we even here? I'm alone enough to represent the Blue Wind Empire." Cang Yue said with an adorable pout.
She glanced at Yu Long and felt this husband of hers was wasting their time visiting the Blue Wind Profound Palace.
The Blue Wind Profound Palace is the Blue Wind Empire's 'greatest' cultivation palace. It's 'actually' located in the northern area of the Blue Wind Imperial City.The profound palace was 'purposely' established by the Imperial Family 1,800 years ago. It is directly supervised and supplied by the royal family to gather young talents.
The palace also had a policy that every year, it would accept three of the most distinguished disciples from each profound palace within the Blue Wind Empire. Those disciples will represent the Imperial City in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament.
But how could it compare to the Lost Heaven Sect? It's like comparing mud to gold, discouraging Cang Yue from choosing people there.
'The Imperial Family has never entered the top one hundred for a long time, but it will change soon.' Cang Yue was confident in herself.
Yu Long chuckled, "Hehe, don't be like that."
"We might find some diamonds in the rough, you know?"
"Acting all mysterious again." Cang Yue cast a suspicious look.
Xia Qingyue shook her head because she understood where Cang Yue was coming from. She also acknowledged that Cang Yue alone was enough to carry Blue Wind Imperial City. After all, she knew how strong the gentle-looking princess was.
Still, Xia Qingyue wanted to see what Yu Long had for them.
Hong Guan was silent the entire time, thinking about what method she should use to spend more time alone with her young master.
...
They arrived at the Blue Wind Profound Palace and saw a middle-aged man coming from inside. He's Dongfang Xiu, the palace master of this place.
"Princess." He greeted them with a smile.
Cang Yue stared at the elder and said calmly, "Long time no see, Elder Xiu."
"We are here to check some disciples for the incoming tournament."
Dongfang Xiu's eyes widened as the Imperial Family hadn't sent him the purpose of this visit. All he knew was that the princess and his fiance would come.
He blinked and bowed to Yu Long, "Nice to meet you, Young Lord Yu."
Yu Long waved casually, "There is no need for such formality. Gather all the disciples in the hall, and we will be waiting there."
"This..." Dongfang Xiu awkwardly glanced at Cang Yue.
Cang Yue crossed her arms and said, "Just do what he said."
Dongfang Xiu awkwardly nodded, "Very well. All the disciples will be in the hall in five minutes."
As they watched Dongfan Xiu leave, Yu Long stared at the middle-aged man's back and commented, "Not bad, he's at the 5th level of Emperor Profound Realm."
"It seems the Blue Wind Imperial Family is using their resources wisely."
"He's my father's bodyguard." Cang Yue responded. "It would be weird if he didn't reach the Emperor Profound Realm, but it wasn't enough."
"The true powerhouse should be the Tyrant Profound Realm or even Sovereign Profound Realm."
"Well, let's go inside."
They walked into the profound palace and noticed a man in a dashing white robe running to the entrance. He bowed at them, "Princess, Young Lord, I'll escort you to the hall."
"Wait, You're Elder Wushang?" Cang Yue said in surprise.
Elder Wushang, or Qin Wushang, is the vice palace master of the Blue Wind Profound Palace. He's around his seventies this year and already reached the first stage of Emperor Profound Realm.
It's not bad.
Cang Yue was 'briefly' taught by him in the past before following Yu Long, so seeing him again in such a state is surprising.
Qin Wushang laughed and replied, "You have become a beautiful young woman, princess. The Imperial Family is going to enter prosperity because of you."
"I am honored to meet the Young Leader of the Lost Heaven Sect. I'd like to express my gratitude for taking care of the princess all this time," He added, cupping his hands towards Yu Long.
Yu Long sighed and replied, "She's my wife, so it's my job to take care of her."
"W-Wife?" Qin Wushang was shocked.
Cang Yue blushed sheepishly, "We will get married soon, Elder Wushang."
Qin Wushang let out a heartful laugh, "Congratulations, princess, young lord. I wish you two great happiness ahead."
After that, Qin Wushang escorted them to the Central Plaza, where several disciples gathered. Yu Long scanned the youths one by one and spotted his target.
It was a red-clothed young man. He was shorter than Yu Long. His face was cold; his thick, black eyebrows were like two inclined sharp swords, and his gaze was as calm as a pool of still water, without any waves of motion.
He's Fen Juechen, part of the Burning Heaven Clan.
Of course, Fen Juechen also has a 'special' identity. He was the first prince of the Eternal Night Royal Family, who reincarnated with the help of the Eternal Night Royal Queen's forbidden technique.
'It was faint, but I can feel our bloodline's connection.' Yu Long thought, rubbing his chin. However, it seems Fen Juechen couldn't remember his past life's memory.
"All right, everyone is here." Qin Wushang clapped his hand, moving the attention to him. "Princess visited the profound palace today. She wanted to choose two disciples from the Blue Wind Profound Palace to represent the Imperial Family in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament."
Qin Wushang's announcement caused whisperings in the plaza.
They have heard about the legendary princess of Blue Wind Empire, and the rumor said she was cultivating in the Lost Heaven Sect for years.
No one knew about the princess's strength, but some guessed she was at Sky Profound Realm or above. 18-year-old Sky Profound Realm Expert, what kind of concept was that?
On top of that, she's also engaged to the young leader of the Lost Heaven Sect.
Cang Yue walked onto the stage and looked at everyone with a smile on her beautiful face. Her appearance made every young man in the room gasp in surprise. Their young blood boils.
Even Fen Juechen stared at Cang Yue with a stunned look. His once calm demeanor cracked for a second.
'How strong is she? I can't tell her cultivation at all!' However, Fen Juechan quickly realized something was weird with Cang Yue.
'The princess is not as simple as people thought.'
Cang Yue stared at the disciples and said, "The Blue Wind Ranking Tournament will start in less than two weeks."
"I'm greatly disappointed in the Blue Wind Profound Palace's standard as only a handful of you met my standard. Barely at that."
"So, I will make this short. I will release 5% of my cultivation base's pressure, and your task is to keep standing. If you pass, I will grant you a chance to become Blue Wind Imperial Family's representative."
Everyone was speechless.
Yu Long helplessly patted his forehead, "She's impatient."
"Well, this makes things more interesting." Xia Qingyue giggled on the side.
Cang Yue didn't wait for their response as a frightening shockwave swept the palace, stunning everyone. Dongfang Xiu, Qin Wushang, and one more elder felt Cang Yue's pressure and couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
The princess has exceeded their expectations!
"T-This is..." One disciple couldn't handle the pressure and fainted on the spot with foam coming from his mouth.
The disciples fell one after another, leaving two people only.
Fen Juechen gritted his teeth and released all his cultivation base. Even then, he could barely stand straight. His legs are shivering like no tomorrow.
The other person is also a young man. He wore a blue robe and had this pained expression.
"Well done." Cang Yue retracted back her pressure.
"You two shall be the representatives."
"Tell me your name."
Fen Juechen stared at Cang Yue silently and answered, "Fen Juechen."
The blue-robed young man trembled and said, "Sikong Du."
Cang Yue crossed her arms and continued, "You two are too weak. For the next thirteen days, you two will undergo intense training."
"Do you hear me?"
"Yes, princess!" Fen Juechan and Sikong Du answered as they felt excited when Cang Yue mentioned intense training.
