"Did you feel it? That's what you get when you gain the recognition of a dragon." Senior Dragon said.

Wang Tian nodded and then Long Jiusi said, "Young Master, when I leave I want you to be careful in revealing master's possessions. It will bring you no good to reveal them straight away."

Wang Tian nodded. He already knew that it was a very foolish move to do so but he still carved what Long Jiusi said in his mind.

"That mark that I gave you, it will keep you safe. The dragon race will see you as their kin. As you have gained the approval of one of them."

"The dragon race is filled with loyal entities. Once their name is given, it is like giving their dignity to that person."

"But we are also very arrogant. It is in our blood to be so. Even if you are from the Arachnid Tribe, many dragons will still disrespect you. That will be the case if I haven't given you access to my name. To my approval." Long Jiusi said.

"You should be careful but not too careful. Only those who risk their lives gain success and power."

"Young Master, take a look around you. This planet of yours is filled with uncountable cultivators. All of which can easily kill you with just a flick of their finger..."

"There is something called,"

"Planet Rankings"

"If you search through Master's knowledge, you would be able to understand what it is."

Wang Tian did indeed search inside his brain and then he nodded. "The ranking of the planets? Their might? Their battle power?"

Long Jiusi nodded and said seriously, "Based upon the legend, there are sixteen skies. We are in the second sky. Our sky is filled with eight major planets. This planet of yours is at the last place."

The sky rumbled as if the telling of this legend is extreme taboo.

Wang Tian felt immensely shocked by what he was told. He searched through his brain and found what Long Jiusi said.

'16 skies?! Eight major planets?' Wang Tian felt like his head was about to explode by all the information.

"The geniuses in your planet are nothing but trash when compared to those geniuses that hail from clans that have planets of their own."

"They are nothing but a speck of dust! Even a speck of dust would be an overstatement! And you, Young Master, are one of those speck of dust. You can be killed easily with just a glare! With just their own aura."

P

"That's how monstrous the geniuses from other planets are."

"However, I hope that you can beat those geniuses someday. You are still too young. You're like a toddler in the cultivation world."

Wang Tian fell silent when he heard what Long Jiusi said. He felt that the immense confidence that he racked up was taken down a notch.

"When you enter the competition, promise me that you will become the champion. Do your best to become a pinnacle existence in this planet!"

Wang Tian's blood boiled when he heard what Long Jiusi said.

'Pinnacle Existence? Could I really become that great?' he thought to himself.

"You are the descendant of the Arachnid Tribe. Your father is an unfathomable existence! But he is injured... You, my boy, are destined for great things!"

"Junior Brother Golem and Junior Brother HS will protect you. But do not depende on them entirely because in the end, they are just external forces. Not your own power. Not your own strenght! It all comes down to your own strength in the end!"

Wang Tian nodded repeatedly when he heard this.

Long Jiusi's solemn face disappeared and was replaced by a warm smile.

He laughed heartily and said, "Good lad!"

"Young Master, do you remember Liu Hao?" Long Jiusi asked Wang Tian.

"Yeah, that cultivator that you killed seven years ago?"

"Yes, he is from the Liu Clan. His clan is the sole owner of the fifth planet. Third in the Planetary Rankings. They have experts that can easily kill you without doing anything directly or indirectly." Long Jiusi said seriously.

"Almost every clan has a technique that will tell them if their descendant died. That day when I killed him, the technique must have activated."

"Be careful. In a few tens to hundred of years, they are sure to come. You will likely face destruction unless you have sufficient strength."

Wang Tian nodded seriously when Long Jiusi said this and then he said, "I will prepare so that I can grow quickly."

Long Jiusi nodded.

"But this old fellow has one more to tell you. A request." Long Jiusi said while looking at Wang Tian.

"What's that Senior Long? As long as it is within my power to do so, I will do it."

"Please, make amends with Junior Sister. We are of one family! You both are my family! I do not wish to see the successor of Master and my Junior Sister have such a complex and difficult relationship."

Wang Tian felt awkward when he heard this. He wanted to teach that lady a lesson when he grew into power. But he became rather doubtful towards his decision when he heard what Long Jiusi said. They were indeed a family. Tang Jixian was their benefactor. They shouldn't fight.

'But what that lady did to me was unforgivable!' Wang Tian thought to himself. His expression became icy as he contemplated in deep thought.

"I will think about it Senior Long. But if she dares to still be arrogant when I concede to her then you can't blame me." Wang Tian replied indifferently.

Long Jiusi sighed and said, "I'm sure she won't."

Wang Tian nodded and then Long Jiusi nodded as well. In an instant, the duo reappeared inside Wang Tian's house.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye and the moment of Long Jiusi's departure and Lady Second's came.

Wang Gui looked at Long Jiusi and said with a smile, "Thank you Brother Long for taking care of my son all these years. I am very grateful."

Long Jiusi smiled and replied, "It's okay Brother Wang, it is my duty to protect and take care of Master's successor."

He then looked at Wang Tian and said, "Do not forget what I told you yesterday."

Wang Tian nodded and then he stepped up and looked towards Lady Second.

Lady Second felt a bit surprised by this.

"Senior Second, this lad is sorry for what I did back then. Please forgive me." Wang Tian bowed slightly to Lady Second and said.

Lady Second smiled and the resentment that she was feeling all these years were gone. Yes, she resented the fact that Wang Tian, the pervert who fondled her breasts is their Young Master. She resented the fact that he easily gained his Senior Brother's approval. But maybe she also resented the fact that they couldn't fix their relationship.

Lady Second's face bloomed with a smile that could make one kill and said, "It is okay. Young Master. All is forgiven."

'As long as Lady Second doesn't cause me harm, I won't give her troubles. But I will pay her eventually.' Wang Tian thought to himself evilly but his face was still apologetic.

Long Jiusi laughed and then patted the two, "Well, it's good that your relationship is okay now!"

He then looked at the two guardians, Senior Golem and Senior HS.

"You two, me and your Sister will leave because we have business to attend to. You are in charge of protecting Young Master. Don't screw up." Long Jiusi said.

"Of course we won't" Senior Golem said.

"Yes yes, Senior Brother Golem is right! I'll die for Young Master!" Senior HS said.

Long Jiusi nodded. They bid their farewells and the two of them disappeared.

A loud roar echoed throughout the sky. This was the roar of the sky itself! The heavens itself! They did not want to let Long Jiusi and Lady Second leave. Or course, who was Long Jiusi? A quasi-dao realm expert! Something like this trifling planet wouldn't be able to stop him.

The whole planet shook and then after a moment the planet became stable again.

All of the cultivators inside the planet felt this "earthquake". The ancestors of the various sects were disturbed from their slumber.

At the Northern Part of the Vast Expanse, at the underground valley of the Heavenly School.

Inside a coffin, a figure that emanated ancient aura could be seen sleeping but its eyes suddenly opened when the world shook.

"Is someone leaving our planet?!" That figure coughed up a mouthful of blood.

All of the ancestors reacted similarly.

From the ancestors of the various sects inside the Vast Expanse to the devilish ancient cultivators in the Yin Continent.

"Who's challenging the heavens? Who's leaving our planet?"

"Interesting..."

"Is someone in the present generation powerful enough to leave our planet and break the barrier?"

They all arose from their deathbeds to see who it was. The scene of all the ancestors of different sects appearing in the sky caused an uproar in the entire planet.

This became something that became a legend. A legend that will be passed down through countless generations.

'I should adjust my condition, there's still two days left before the inner competition.' Wang Tian sighed and said while looking at the sky.

The remaining bunch went inside the house.

Wang Tian spent the whole two days in adjusting his condition so that he could perform at his best.

The mountain peak that Wang Tian was in was the fourth peak. It was governed by Peak Master Zhou Weiqing. The peak master was a devoted follower of Shangguan Yi. He was a Zifu Realm expert. He had long hair and looked to be in his mid thirties.

Two days later, the inner selection was about to begin. The number of participants this year was much more than the participants two years ago. Wang Tian could be seen walking with Wang Jhiayi towards the Battle Arena. Wang Tian was wearing an eye patch that hid his left eye. He also activated the Stone Technique and hardened his right arm's skin to that of copper so that his skin wouldn't attract too much attention. He was clad in black while Wang Jhiayi was clad in dark blue. Along the way every now and then, a few girls would glance at the duo but only Wang Jhiayi glanced back.

"Cousin Tian, you gotta lighten up a little. We're almost adults. We should enjoy ourselves!" Wang Jhiayi said to his cousin.

Wang Tian smiled, shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in girls at the moment."

Wang Jhiayi looked at Wang Tian weirdly and then he made some distance between the two of them.

"Fuck you! I'm not interested in men either! Disgusting!" Wang Tian cursed at his cousin. Seemingly understanding why his cousin made distance between the two of them.

Wang Jhiayi closed in again and then said, "Pshh! I knew that!"

"Make way! Make way! Senior Song Zhigao is passing through!" A voice shouted arrogantly.

The voice came from a fellow disciple who was clad in white. This disciple was a level five Houtian Lifeform. He was with about six more disciples that were all level five and some six. The sixth disciple was a level eight. This person should be Song Zhigao.

"Hey! Are you both deaf! Make way! Senior Song is passing through!" The disciple who was clad in white yelled at Wang Tian and Wang Jhiayi.

"Come on cousin, let's make way for them." Wang Jhiayi tugged Wang Tian's clothes when he saw that the latter didn't plan on moving.

Wang Tian could be seen smiling as he looked at that group of cultivators. As if looking at them with disgust and disdain.

He found it rather funny. A bunch of Houtian clowns dared to be so arrogant in front of him? He could defeat Wanxiang Adepts not to mention Zifu Realm experts. What right did these bunch of clowns have for them to be so arrogant in his presence?
