”Lord Zai, I apologize for any inconvenience.” Wu Jin respectfully said. Currently, Yan Zaizen resided in the Wu Clan with Bai Lufeng and Wu Yuanxu. After the incident with Guàn Yin, his face was now circulated across the entire continent and likely realm. It was truly shocking how fast news traveled.
There was even news circulating of his stay in the Wu Clan. He didn't mind this, if anything, this was what he wanted. After being known as a powerhouse of the realm, he'll have far more influence over events. Even the Anima Syndicate had sent him a transmission. They wished to promote him to an Anima Commander, but Yan Zaizen declined.
His main concern was the rule that disallowed him from creating his own force. Of course, he didn't believe they could stop him, but he also didn't want to spit in their faces by doing so. Therefore, he refused.
Waving his hands dismissively, ”There was little inconvenience on your part. You tried, I appreciate the effort.” Slowly, Yan Zaizen was gaining the air of an expert. His face was calm, his smile warm, but his aura and thoughts were unfathomable. He felt like he entered an entirely new world.
”My first step towards the heavens...I truly like this feeling.” His thoughts circulated with ease, as there was little impeding his mental state. The only concern he had was Tao's fate. However, after learning about the circumstances of his heavenly oath, it truly left him a little helpless.
To break an oath would cause one to face Heavenly Judgement, and the tribulations will determine if you live or die. The majority who breaks their oath, they die. Fortunately, the heavens will always leave open a path for survival. You just had to have the capabilities to walk it.
Suddenly, Yan Zaizen's gaze turned as he felt the space being chaotically connected and ripped. Unlike spatial laws where you shift through, warp or merge with space, Heavenly Genesis experts crudely use their power to rip open a tunnel. This leaves a very distinctive signature.
”What?!” Wu Jin's eyes widened as he felt space tremble slightly. His heart started to rapidly beat, as if he was about to face the heavens itself.
A spatial slit appeared within the room, and from this slit, Gu Yu arrived with calm and prideful eyes. He didn't even glance at Wu Jin or noted the senses of the Wu Clan's Heavenly Genesis expert who was peering through space. His gaze focused only on Yan Zaizen.
Yan Zaizen's expression was calm, his eyes revealing interest at Gu Yu' arrival. To be honest, he quite liked Gu Yu. Not just because he gave him a stupid amount of wealth for no reason, but because he's decisive and to the point.
”I'm here to deliver a message.” Gu Yu informed, sending a jade letter flying towards Yan Zaizen. Covering it with his qi-essence, Yan Zaizen drew it near and stored it within the Meteor Ring without a single word.
Witnessing this, Gu Yu nodded. He turned back towards the spatial slit and reentered. As it closed, his aura vanished from the surroundings. Arriving freely and departing as one wished, truly the air of a proud expert.
Despite the succinct exchange, Wu Jin's heart nearly stopped beating. Gu Yu's aura caused him to feel like he was before a god that he could only worship. He truly felt insignificant.
As for Yan Zaizen, his brows furrowed. The message he received was from the Xiantu Emperor himself, and he felt a slight headache over it.
”Let me get Tao.” Yan Zaizen suddenly said, taking a step forward, space rippled as he shifted within. The surroundings rippled as if a rock was dropped in a pond. This method was far more efficient than ripping a slit in the fabric of space with brute force.

Tao's expression was the very picture of boredom. After the news of Yan Zaizen asserting absolute dominance over Guàn Yin spread, Tao felt a little frustrated that Yan Zaizen hadn't already come to retrieve him. As for Yan Qiu, she kept him obediently by her side, ignorant of Tao's relationship to Yan Zaizen.
Currently, she was within a luxurious room with a dozen other geniuses from Broad Creed Palace's territory. They sat in a circle, exchanging thoughts on arts, people, or events while drinking flagrant wine. A few remained quiet, only observing with the occasional engagement, while others were enlivened by their topic.
”I knew Guàn Yao would bring down the White Crane Sect with her dirty deeds and arrogance that could topple the heavens.” One young, handsome youth commented with a sneer. In the past, Guàn Yao rejected all of his advancements and even humiliated him before.
”I agree. To think she would offend a Heavenly Genesis level expert! Truly a calamity waiting to happen.” Another young man chimed in, his expression was filled with disdain.
”It's possible her renowned beauty lead to her downfall.” A pretty young woman sharply said, her eyes traveling to Yan Qiu. When she said this, others followed with a glance as well. To be honest, they knew very little as to why Guàn Yao was disavowed of her status and disciple status. Very few believed it was because of her actions that angered men and gods alike.
As a heavenly-tier sect, how could there not be people who do far, far worse? Yet they had inferior statuses and still retained as a member of the sect.
