Among those present, with the exception of the blank expression on Ming Hou, who had lost his awareness, Long Ye and Yan Sen showed their surprise. Ye Anshi picked up his cup of wine and sipped softly. "So what?"

"So." Xiao Yu tapped the table lightly.

"Although you and I are brothers, we’re only half-brothers, sharing a mother. Our fathers are still enemies. After all, my father led the Demonic Cult’s Eastern Incursion. Everyone thought his ambition was to dominate all under Heaven, but what ignited his ambition was obviously Mingde Emperor who’d taken away my mother. Your father, the Emperor, killed my father, and took away my mother. I should pick up a knife and hack you to pieces, but I won’t. You should be grateful, but you actually want me to help you seize the throne?" Ye Anshi suddenly put down the cup of wine, his eyes flashing.

Long Ye and Yan Sen stiffened their backs instantly.

But Ye Anshi picked up the wine flask and poured another cup of wine slowly.

Long Ye and Yan Sen exchanged a glance. At that moment, Ye Anshi's murderous intent could not have been mistaken. But the murderous intent vanished in an instant, and Ye Anshi resumed that unassuming state. He was a difficult person to deal with. Long Ye and Yan Sen took a breath at the same time.

"Back then, Ji Ruofeng evaluated all the martial experts under Heaven and divided all martial artists by their pinnacle realms. Those below the pinnacle realms were considered mere martial artists. Those who attained the pinnacle realms were considered martial experts. Also, the pinnacle realms were divided into four realms. The first is the Vajra Mortal Realm. Upon mastery, one not just attains the Six Senses and Dharma, one is able to conquer all obstacles. The second realm is the Unrestrained Earthly Realm. If one’s heart is unrestrained, then one becomes unequalled on all Earth. The third realm is the Unfettered Heavenly Realm, then Heavenly law becomes a martial force, every sword and sabre echoes with the force of the living. The most profound is the Spirit Wandering Profound Realm, but it’s only told in legend. One can sit in place with eyes closed yet their spirit can travel thousands of miles away.” Xiao Yu started lecturing all of a sudden. “Right now, the martial world in Beili is prospering. Those who can step into the Vajra Mortal Realm or Unrestrained Earthly Realm aren’t worth much. However, there aren’t so many experts in the Unfettered Heavenly Realm either. The person behind me is Yan Sen. He’s a disciple of the martial world’s Bai Xiao Hall. They have been silently recording the top experts of the martial world. Yan Sen, tell us, how many Heavenly Realm experts are there in Beili.”

Yan Sen nodded and said, "Nanjue favours the sabre, so the three sabre immortals are all in Nanjue. Beili practices the sword, and the five sword immortals are all in Beili. They are the Confucian Sword Immortal, Daoist Sword Immortal, Solitary Sword Immortal, Wrath Sword Immortal and Snow Moon Sword Immortal. All five of them have attained the Heavenly Realm. Among the Five Grand Eunuchs of Heavenly Revelations City, Grand Eunuch Jin Xuan and the Eunuch of Incense Jin Xian have also reached the Heavenly Realm. In the Celestial Masters office, Qi Tianchen and his two deputies have also reached the Heavenly Realm. In addition to the sword immortal in Snow Moon City, Wine Immortal Baili Dongjun and Spear Immortal Sikong Changfeng have also reached the Heavenly Realm. In Unrivaled City, Song Yanhui just entered the Heavenly Realm a few days ago. Tang Clan’s Grandmaster and Lei Clan’s present head, Lei Qianhu, have also long reached the Heavenly Realm. The long-established Wen Clan rely on poisons, so they do not practice martial arts and have none in the Heavenly Realm. In addition, there are also the King of Murder, Li Tian, as well as Ji Ruofeng, who disappeared many years ago, and Lei Yunhe, who’d recently re-entered the martial world, plus some other unaffiliated and even some unknown masters. Presently, in the martial world, experts who have entered the Heavenly Realm number less than 20-plus people."

"You missed a lot of people." Ye Anshi looked at Yan Sen.

Yan Sen did not deny it. "There are only two places in the martial world that Bai Xiao Hall’s agents cannot investigate. One is Outerheaven, and the other is Hidden River. But if I didn’t guess wrong, there are at least three in Outerheaven. Hidden River should also have at least three people. "

Ye Anshi shook his head. "Not just those. Many experts have hidden their own strength. Unrivaled City has maintained its status as one of the four great cities under Heaven for so many years, it’s impossible to rely only on Song Yanhui who just reached the Heavenly Realm. Also, Snow Moon City, the Directorate of Astronomy, Tang Clan and Lei Clan all have hidden powers. You must have heard of Tang Lianyue of Tang Clan."

"Naturally. Plucking water or plucking the moon, half lost in wind and rivers, and half lost in clouds. Once the top expert of the younger generation of Tang Clan." Yan Sen nodded. "However, he hasn't been seen for many years."

"He has always been in Tang Clan. I met his disciple." Ye Anshi smiled.

"The White Prince, Xiao Chong, has gathered many forces over the past few years, and Unrivaled City has already been brought under his command, so I need the support of Outerheaven," Xiao Yu said in a solemn voice.

"Why must it be Outerheaven?" Ye Anshi asked.

"We must never test the loyalty of the Five Grand Eunuchs, nor the Directorate of Astronomy. They will always stand on one person's side. That person is my father, Mingde Emperor. As for Snow Moon City, both Xiao Chong and I have sent numerous envoys over the years, but the Spear Immortal, Sikong Changfeng, only smiled and accepted all the gifts, but never expressed his own position. As for the sects in Snow Moon City’s alliance, Lei Clan, Tang Clan and Wen Clan, their positions are also ambiguous. As for Hidden River, all the men I sent died while trying to find that river. But, recently, there’s been news that Hidden River has made their move. Xiao Chong may have found them. So, if I can’t get the support of Outerheaven’s Sect Leader here, then it’s very likely that I will die on the way back to Heavenly Revelations City." Xiao Yu looked at Ye Anshi with a serious expression.

Ye Anshi continued to smile. "Don't deliberately make it sound as if you’re so weak. My mother had a shidi who loved her to death. That shidi is named Luo Qingyang, who later became the most powerful of the five sword immortals. The Solitary Sword Immortal of the Admirable Desolation City is your godfather."

"Yes, our godfather is indeed Luo Qingyang. But it has been more than ten years since Solitary Sword Immortal stepped out of his Admirable Desolation City. I don't think he will leave the city on my behalf."

"He's your godfather. When did he become ours?"

"What’s mine is also yours. We’re brothers!" Xiao Yu said sincerely.

"Then, the throne also belongs to us?" Ye Anshi asked.

Xiao Yu smiled and shook his head. "That’s the only thing I cannot share."

Ye Anshi stood up, gathered his sleeves, walked to the cave entrance, and looked at the flying snow outside the cave. "You’ve been honest so far. But I still think there’s no reason I should help you. The reason I originally entered this Langyue Paradise was to enter that Spirit Wandering Profound Realm before leaving. By then, I will be the number one expert under Heaven. Not even the Wine Immortal, Spear Immortal or Solitary Sword Immortal will be my match."

"There is a saying that based on the mother, the son will be noble. In the imperial family, this is especially true. My mother was born from the martial world, not from nobility. In the palace, she had always suffered the contempt of others. So, I swore this when I was very young, that I would become the emperor. When I become the emperor, my mother will be the empress dowager!" Xiao Yu also stood up, his eyes shining.

Ye Anshi snorted coldly, still facing Xiao Yu. "That’s not a choice she makes for herself."

Xiao Yu took a few steps forward and stood beside Ye Anshi. "Do you want to see her?"

"You want to use familial ties to influence me. That’s not a good choice. I have been ordained in Buddhism, and the world is an illusion." Ye Anshi's mouth curved slightly, unspeakably wicked.

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

"But." Ye Anshi went on by himself, "To fight over all under Heaven or something, could be interesting too. I’m a monk so I can’t become emperor, but to help someone become emperor with my own hands, doesn’t sound like a bad idea.”
