Xue Ying was currently accompanying his mother Rong Xing Lan and sister. They were presently chatting while eating.

Rong Xing Lan felt joyful because her son had finally left closed-door cultivation after more than 6,000 years; she had not seen her son ever since then. Currently, she was a noble, so it was logical that she could order the servants with a command, asking them to serve delicious food for them to enjoy.

"Even though cultivating is important, my son, there is no need to exhaust yourself so much." Rong Xing Lan smiled, "Mother might not understand many things, but I have read quite a few books these years and understand that cultivating the heart is important towards securing a bright future. Ultimately, son, you have experienced too few things."

"This son understands." Xue Ying obediently answered.

Rong Xing Lan giggled even more brilliantly. She liked her son a lot, yet did not dare to disturb him in fear of affecting his future. She could only watch from the side. But her current identity was no longer the same. She had many treasures now, and by relying on the bloodline cultivation system, she quickly broke through to the True God realm. Without having a limit to her lifespan, she naturally became calmer and more tranquil.

"Xue Ying." A voice sounded throughout the place.

Rong Xing Lan and Ying Shan Xi Yue were all shocked. Who dared to intrude Xue Ying's cavern-dwelling?

Xue Ying turned his head over too.

Only to see two figures currently flying over. One of them was naturally Marquis Ardent Fire. He stood obediently behind an old granny. That old granny was currently smiling at Xue Ying. Marquis Ardent Fire roared out: "Why aren't you greeting the Old Ancestor?"

"Xue Ying greets Old Ancestor." Xue Ying immediately bowed politely.

Rong Xing Lan and Ying Shan Xi Yue were both greatly startled. There was only one person in the whole Ying Shan Clan who was qualified to be called the Old Ancestor, and that was the legendary Old Mother Ying Shan! The two of them immediately stood up from their chair and knelt by the side.

"Stand up." Old Mother Ying Shan waved her hand. Rong Xing Lan and Ying Shan Xi Yue both stood up.

Old Mother Ying Shan then walked to a stool and sat down. Marquis Ardent Fire stood by her side. Old Mother Ying Shan then began scrutinizing Xue Ying.

This young fellow

Was still young, yet he had broken through to the Unity realm.

"Ardent Fire did not govern his Marquisdom well, leading to you being forced into birth prematurely." Old Mother Ying Shan chuckled, "It is fortunate that you could reach the Unity realm in 8,000 years. Even though your premature birth might have influenced your potential, it isn't huge."

"I am thankful for those treasures bestowed by Old Ancestor and Grandpa Marquis." Xue Ying replied.

"Those are just external materials. What matters more is your extraordinary potential." Old Mother Ying Shan waved her hand, causing a wristband to fly over, "Properly cultivate. With your talent, it isn't hard for you to reach the Primal Chaos realm. I hope that the King could personally make you a Conferred King one day. It isn't enough to reach that standard just by relying on your bloodline. What you need more is to cultivate your heart, gain more experience and temper yourself well."

Marquis Ardent Fire was startled when he heard that.

Conferred King?

One had to cross through the God Yuan Pagoda ninth level to be qualified for that.

Old Mother Ying Shan nodded. She was only proposing an ambitious request. In her opinion, Xue Ying would likely reach the Primal Chaos realm after cultivating for a period. But it was hard to reach the 'Conferred King' position. One had to have a profound heart realm. Even if the bloodline was more precious, it was entirely unrelated to the cultivation heart. One still had to temper himself.

Xue Ying reached the 'My Heart as the World' realm level in his previous life, and it wasn't easy.

"Xue Ying will definitely do his best." Xue Ying nodded. He took over the wristband, refined it and checked through the content. His heart could not help but jump at the next moment!

There was a pile of cosmos crystals within, and after sweeping through it, Xue Ying ascertained that there were 50 million cosmos crystals! Such a tremendous amount!

"Cultivate well. Also, cosmos crystals are precious. You must think through in the future when you purchase things." Marquis Ardent Fire threw over a storage treasure too. Xue Ying naturally received it and checked through it. There were eight million cosmos crystals placed inside. Adding them up, Marquis Ardent Fire had given him a total of 10 million cosmos crystals in total. That was a considerable burden to Marquis Ardent Fire.

Xue Ying naturally accepted them. Being a disciple of the Ying Shan Clan, he was willing to receive these benefits. In the future, he would undoubtedly take up a role with a massive responsibility for the clan. This was something Old Mother Ying Shan and Marquis Ardent Fire looked forward to.

...

"What?"

"Old Mother Ying Shan has such luck? One of her descendants actually broke through to the Unity realm in just 8,000 years after birth?"

"Teacher, I've heard that the cultivator called Ying Shan Xue Ying was forced into birth after just spending 15 years in the womb. The Ying Shan Clan has immediately provided a large amount of bloodline-nourishing treasures for that young fellow to use. Only then did he break through to the Unity realm in 8,000 years."

...

"It seems there will be another Marquis in the Ying Shan Clan in the future."

...

"That old granny of Ying Shan Clan is most likely grinning until her mouth is twisted."

...

This news spread like wildfire across all the powerful organizations within Southern Cloud Nation. They also etched this nameYing Shan Xue Yingin their mind because it was certain for him to become a Conferred Marquis in the future.

And within Ardent Fire City, 'Chan Yu Yan Zhen' who had been hiding in the house arranged by her son, fell into a daze once she received the news: "What? The son of that lowly woman broke through to the Unity realm in just 8,000 years? It is almost certain for him to become a Conferred Marquis in the future? What should I do? What should I do? Will he remember this enmity and kill me in the future once he becomes a Conferred Marquis?"

******

Amidst the vast rolling black cloud, an ancient palace could be seen faintly within.

Within the palace.

A massive figure with a black twisted horn sat cross-legged within. His body was surrounded by a cold black aura.

"You say that young fellow called Ying Shan Xue Ying is a disciple of the Ying Shan Clan, Ardent Fire Marquisdom?" That muscular male with black twisted horn said with a deep tone. His blood-colored eyes looked downwards.

"Teacher, this disciple is sure. Strictly speaking, Ying Shan Xue Ying is the son of the second son of Marquis Ardent Fire, 'Ying Shan Lie Hu'." A red-robed male beneath respectfully answered.

"Marquis Ardent Fire?"

The tall, muscular male continued speaking with a deep tone, "Who would have thought that he will be so lucky!"

The red-robed male obediently remained quiet.

He was clear of how thick the enmity his teacher had with Marquis Ardent Fire. He was even responsible for collecting all intelligence regarding the Maruiqs Ardent Fire.

...

Within the Ardent Fire City inside the Misty Cloud Pavilion.

The Misty Cloud Pavilion spanned across a considerable area, and it was covered in fog. This place was like a fantasy. In one of the slightly more concealed residence.

"Who would have thought that Prince Xue Ying has broken through to the Unity realm in just 8,000 years." The plump male sat there. He was letting the beauties serving him and feeding him fruits. His expression was grave.

He had never given up his thoughts of snatching that girl called 'Yan Yu'. That was a pill lure which he had always dreamt of getting.

"Chun Yu Feng that trash." The plump male gritted his teeth.

Chun Yu Feng had even agreed to his proposal previously, but after Xue Ying broke through to the Unity realm, Chun Yu Feng immediately rejected him. It represented that he would no longer be participating in this affair. After all, why would the other party offend an existence who would definitely become a Conferred Marquis in the future? Chun Yu Feng was not that foolish.

"Mn?" The plump male became startled.

"Everyone withdraw." The plump male stood up.

"Yes." The surrounding beauties all obediently went out.

The plump male then rapidly entered the cultivation room in this residence. It was absolutely safe within and had isolated all scouting techniques from the external world. The plump male even brought along treasures that could block off such methods.

"Weng."

At that moment, an illusory figure appeared by the side of the plump male. He was none other than the tall figure with a twisted black horn. This figure was currently covered in black fog.

"Qian Gan Xue greets master." The plump male immediately knelt. He prostate to the other party in worship.

"Do you know that one called Ying Shan Xue Ying? That Ying Shan Clan disciple who broke through to the Unity realm in just 8,000 years after birth?" The tall figure with black twisted horn said with a cold voice.

"I know him." The plump male immediately answered.

"I permit you to mobilize the manpower from the 12th city. You can use all the cosmos crystals at hand. Kill that Ying Shan Xue Ying for me with the fastest speed." The tall figure with black twisted horn coldly stated.

"Kill Ying Shan Xue Ying?" The plump male was slightly stunned.

The tall figure with black twisted horn looked at him.

The plump male immediately answered, "Yes, yes, master, please feel rest assured. I'll definitely do my best."

"Don't disappoint me. Otherwise, you know the consequences." The voice of that tall figure with the black twisted horn was soft, yet it made the plump male tremble in fear. That was fear originating from the heart.

"Yes, yes, I'll definitely kill him." The plump male added.

"Marquis Ardent Fire" The blood-colored eyes of the tall figure with black twisted horn were filled with full killing intent, "Since I can't kill you, I'll first eliminate the future Primal Chaos existence in your Marquisdom. You will definitely turn mad from it, haha"

That figure gradually dissipated.

Only then did the plump male stand up. He gulped down and suppressed his racing heart. Thoughts started racing through his mind. He understood it was impossible for him to disobey his master. Just thinking of the consequences of doing so made a chill run down his spine.

'Fortunately, that Ying Shan Xue Ying has just broken through to the Unity realm. Right now, he should only be able to exert a force at the God Yuan Palace first or the second level. The only troublesome point of killing him though is the fact that the Ardent Fire Marquisdom would definitely put his best resources to protect him." The plump male gritted his teeth, "Master has also permitted me to mobilize the manpower from the 12th city, and to use all the allowance given to me? Mn, I must think of a way that would not fail. The moment we act, we must not give him an opportunity. Otherwise, if that Prince Xue Ying did not die, I'll be the one dying.'
