Inside Broad Creed Palace's territory of Clear Divine City, a grand palace that seemed to be drenched in gold stood taller than all buildings within a 1,000 li. The palace exuded an aura of supreme elegance and wealth that could not be matched.

It was the Yan Clan's Main Palace. The Yan Clan was one of the top families within Broad Creed Mountain, with a first-floor Heavenly Genesis expert at its helm. It had influence and power that could not be underestimated by any in the entire realm.

Inside this palace was a luxuriously vast room filled with ornaments and furniture that seemed to be made of wealth. A single glance would have one shocked by the sheer price this room must've cost.

The floor alone was created from low-grade essence jade, a refined version of essence crystals. They were painted by a material that seemed to attract essence and release it in a further purified state. The walls were constructed from a Golden Heartwood, which can help promote soul cultivation based enlightenment and recovery.

Simply staying in this room for an hour was like secluded cultivation for weeks.

Lying lazily atop a soft, deep-white couch with white pillows embroidered with golden, was a young woman who had heaven-toppling, nation-collapsing beauty. Her blonde hair seemed to be sprinkled with true gold, deep-blue eyes containing incredible levels of Intelligence, skin as flawless as the heavens themselves, and a body that exuded premium sex appeal.

She wore a golden dress with the 'Yan' character etched firmly at her center torso. If one tried to look at the character, they'd be instantly distracted by the bosom that seemed ready to burst and the deep valley that was formed from it.

She was Yan Qiu, one of the three top young beauties within the Clear Divine City. To be classified as a top beauty required three traits: Talent, Status, and Beauty.

Yan Qiu was only three hundred years old with an initial Aurora Soul, a physical body that rivaled the initial-Origin Core Realm, a mid-Origin Core Realm qi cultivation base, and comprehended a conceptual world law to the force-level. This was an exceptional talent regardless of where you go in the entire realm.

She was also the favored great-granddaughter of the Heavenly Genesis ancestor of the Yan Clan. Therefore, her status within the clan or continent was by no means small. Very few could match her talent, status, and beauty.

Beside this woman was a scrawny man with impossibly white teeth. If Bai Lufeng was here, not only would he recognize this young woman but also the man. Even Yan Zaizen would.

It was Tao!

Currently, he was dressed in a brown servant attire. Around his neck was a grey collar that seemed to release a very faint and dull light. His eyes seemed to be filled with fiery rage, but he stayed obediently to the side of this woman.

As he stood silently aside, he recalled how he arrived at this fate. Several months ago, he and Bai Lufeng separated. At that time, he decided to quietly gather information about the city. He learned that there were many scholars who practiced the academic arts. With this, he couldn't hold back his desire to match wits with them in various contests.

His first victim was a first-tier force within the city. After horrendously shaming them by displaying their inferiority, he felt excited to challenge others. He kept escalating till he arrived at a force called the Emerald Hand Sect - an imperial-tier force. They had someone called the Emerald Scholar of Kunlun.

With a name like that, grander than all, how could he resist? However, when he arrived, he found this young beautiful woman and the Head Scholar of Broad Creed Palace in wait. He was challenged to a contest, best of three, with wits and deductive knowledge.

Tao's arrogance, pride, and confidence were bone-deep, and the continuous victories only inflated this. He accepted, but the price?

Servitude.

The loser would be the slave of the victor, and this was a heavenly oath!

In the first exchange, it was ordinary. Tao defeated her and the scholar without mercy. However, during the second and third match, an expert of the Advanced Aurora Soul Realm interfered, causing his ability to process information and access his memory to be severely affected.
