Now, Heifeng Jiansui, the new Crown Prince and his father, the Emperor were alone, speaking.

“So father Emperor, I would like the method of Xingmei’s survival during our battle be kept secret. It would be best that more outlandish reasons behind her survival be spread. Maybe the dimensional realm realized that my talent vastly dwarfed hers, so it pronounced me the winner without battle or something else… In any case, the fact that she is my Magic Beast is impossible to spread out.” The Emperor immediately nodded at Heifeng Jiansui’s words.

“Thankfully, there were no witnesses to the battle other than me, you, Xingmei and your two’s mothers. We will immediately suppress information from spreading out.” After this when the Emperor stayed silent, Heifeng Jiansui spoke up once more.

“Forgive me for being discourteous, but now that I am the Crown Prince and my mother will become the Empress, what about Xingmei’s mother? Will she simply be a more favored concubine or…?” At Heifeng Jiansui’s question, the Emperor had a ponderous expression.

“I haven’t thought of this until you reminded me. While I could make her the Second Empress, she truthfully hasn’t had many achievements, being my latest wife. But she bore me a daughter, and the daughter survived the Battle of Succession… I can’t keep her unrewarded. How do you think of making that woman a Queen and granting her a country to look over?” Heifeng Jiansui was asked this by the Emperor.

“I don’t mind as well.” Hearing this, the Emperor nodded before asking.

“Now, how do you wish to handle Xingmei?”

Heifeng Jiansui thought over things for a moment before asking, “She is my Magic Beast, so I have to treat her well… For now, according to her title, grant her a suitable Dominion. Also, she was heavily assisted by the Five Sacred Beast Sect… were there any contracts with her having some stipulations to do?”

At this, the Emperor nodded. “She is stipulated to become a Core Disciple of the Sect and train there for a decade or so… Do you want me to interfere?”

“As long as she can spend the majority of her time within this Great World, I can permit her going to the sect a few times a year for tournaments or other such events.” The Emperor promised to speak with the Sect’s envoy over this matter.

“Oh, before anything else, there has been a marriage contract for you with the White Phoenix Sect. The girl’s name is Baifeng Tianxin and she is the young princess of the White Phoenix Empire. The marriage contract was drafted when the allegiance with our two Empires was signed…” The Emperor looked at his son’s expression.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

“So then? How is my future wife?”

“To be honest, she is a retard.” Smirking at his son’s reaction, the Emperor elucidated.

“The White Phoenix Clan’s ancestral bloodlines have the Divine Beast Phoenix. That girl Tianxin was born on the same day and date as you, so there was talk of you two being fated lovers. However, the reason you didn’t hear of her was due to her ill-fated Bloodline Memories being awakened when she was near 2 years old, and his spirit was irreparably damaged. Since then, there has been no communication between you two.” Hearing this, Heifeng Jiansui was shocked. Wasn’t that the exact time he forcefully awakened his own Bloodline Memories? Was this girl harmed by him?

“You can forget about her. Simply take her as a concubine and the contract is still effective. You can take her virginity and bloodline, lock her with a few attendants and marry who you wish. Now, let’s talk about your sect.” The Emperor’s cold hearted words brought an end to the topic of the pitiful fiancée.

“There is the matter of the Ten Thousand Sword Paradise… I am a Chosen disciple, so while there will be some leniencies, some matters will be stringent as well. Until now, relying the matter of my karma being tied to the destiny of the Succession Battle, I never actually visited the sect… It seems that it will be high time to contact Elder Shenhai.” Thinking of the Sect he was affiliated to but never visited once in his life, Heifeng Jiansui was filled with curiosity.

“As you say… wait, you became a Chosen Disciple of the sect before turning 7? That is a single spot lower than the Successor Disciples who are groomed to be the Highest Elders and even the Patriarch! Just how incredible is your forging art….?” The Emperor was utterly stunned by this.

“I can forge 3-star Quasi-Earth Rank equipment.” Heifeng Jiansui had the good sense to not mention the Earth Rank equipment he could forge.

“The pinnacle of mortal equipment that can be forged by a mortal… How ironic. But your talent in forging is truly exceptional. Once you breakthrough to a cultivator, you can probably forge Earth Rank equipment. In the far future, Heaven Rank equipment will not be beyond you.” The Emperor’s praise was sincere. The forging talent will certainly lead him down a greater path than an Emperor!

“Well then, are you planning to go to the Ten Thousand Sword Sect after this? If you diligently train there, your strength will rapidly grow and you can enter the ancestral heritage fully prepared. As for later on, you will have to succeed me. My cultivation has already reached a bottleneck and I need to seclude myself, so I have been waiting all this while for a successor.” The Emperor carefully observed Heifeng Jiansui as he thought over his path for the near future.

“As for now, I am a forging master. Until now, I have been completing the Sect’s requests from here and the Sect sends payment and resources. Other than occasional visits for some events, we can keep on continuing this. Until reaching the 4th boundary which is quite far away, I won’t need resources exclusive to the sect’s headquarters or need to enter long seclusions. I plan to slowly cultivate while maintaining a solid foundation. Thus, I want to quickly become an Emperor to harness the world energy of this Great World!” Hearing Heifeng Jiansui’s plans that had been well thought through, the Emperor was elated.

“That is good, then. I will thoroughly train you as my successor for the next half-decade. After that, I will be going to seclusion for two centuries! During this time, you can slowly train to the peak of the Death Reversion boundary while I can finally stake my life into entering the Pathway Divination boundary!” An expression filled with excitement showed itself on the normally taciturn Emperor.

“I need to ask this, but when can I enter the ancestral heritage?” Heifeng Jiansui’s words cut through the Emperor’s elation.

“81 days from now, the ancestral heritage will be capable of being entered. You can enter at the age of 13 at the latest, so you have a lot of time to prepare…” The Emperor looked at Heifeng Jiansui whose eyes were filled with determination.

“No, I want to enter that place at the earliest, 81 days from now.” Heifeng Jiansui’s words shocked the Emperor!
