What is this...

I've never heard of this Profound Martial Skill before..

While looking at the majestic scene of "Senkei", Xiao Juetian's body was soaked with cold sweat. No matter how he look at this scene it doesn't look threatening yet his guts is telling him otherwise.

Not good...

Xiao Jutian's sense of danger had saved him countless of times so without hesitation, he coated his body with Profound Energy and tried to escape.

But Hannya won't let it happen that easily. This skill abandons defense in favor of a concentrated offense. Though visually menacing, this form is not meant for attack from all sides; rather, it concentrates his Bankai into fewer blades, thus increasing his attack power.

Hannya raised his hands and multiple flower petals came close and slowly formed into a sword.

Senkei seals Hannya in with his enemy, allowing neither combatant to move very far from each other, though the area is still large enough for maneuverability and together with his Kyokasuigetsu it would be impossible for Juetian to win.

"Shall we find out tonight, who exactly is between us the person who fears the strong while bullies the weak?" Hannya said.

Juetian closed his eyes trying to accept his fate. After a few minutes he opened it with great determination. He decided to use his blood essence.

Burning your blood essence is not something most people will do, mainly only in a true life or death situation, because damage to blood essence is almost impossible to recover.

After using Blood Essence, one's profound strength would most definitely drop by a huge amount. And their Cultivation Realms could even drop, and would be unable to return to their previous Cultivation Realms.

Using Blood Essence would exhaust one's life and potential.

Knowing all of this Xiao Juetian still decided to use it. He's determined to perish together with his opponent.

A huge amount of profound strength gave Juetian a huge boost in power. Circulating his profound skill:

"Heavenly Eagle Limitless Strike"

'Xiao'

This clear cry seemed to be the cry of an eagle that transcended the heavens.

Senbonzakura blades attack from all direction..

Exhausting his blood essence he clashed with the sharp petal blades, blood spilled from every part of his body.

He continued: "Extreme Wind Slash."

A giant eagle together with countless wind blades made it's from where Hannya was standing.

As if to scoff at Juetian's vain hopes, the "fear" aura flowing from Hannya's body grow even more intense.

Huge amount of profound strength was consumed by the Heavenly Eagle Limitless Strike. It's large wings launched countless swords of light indiscriminately.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Countless purple sword even out the sword lights.

Golden eyes shone in darkness an extremely eerie sight. A swarm of Cherry Blossom Petals clashed with the blades of wind and the Heavenly Eagle.

Wouch! Wouch! Wouch!

Just in awhile a pin-drop silence occurred.

Juetian was incredibly shocked. He felt powerless infront of this man.

Even using his blood essence.. Sigh

He closed his eyes..

"Kill me but please pardon my son, he's still young and still doesn't know how the world works."

He waited for awhile.. and then he was shocked by the reply he got..

"Thou art strong, yeah?"

"Strength and talent just like the rumours. Thee become my ally."

Juetian opened his eyes and look at Hannya. He felt ridiculous, just what the hell is this guy thinking.. he stood there unable to reply.

"You can't decide this moment right? I'll wait two days."

The dark space dissappeared..

The bloody countenance of Xiao Juetian gave the crowd a scare in their lifetime. The Xiao Sect founder, coming out from that dark space. What exactly happened? They couldn't see anything when the space containing Hannya and Juetian was engulfed by darkness.

Xiao Juetian disregarded the crowd and searched for his son, he swept the entire crowd and finally saw Rihan standing beside his son.. The latter simply smiled and threw his son towards him..

"I only taught him a lesson."

Juetian simply nodded and looked at the two people who made them eat loss today.. but a single message keeps on repeating in his head..

Thee become my ally..

Juetian left sighed... It's really hard to understand the mindset of the strong..

Hannya and Rihan didn't make any attempt to stop them. It was part of their plan to spread Nura Clan's name. As well as gain a bit of connection.

Hannya looked at the farthest area in the crowd, with a smile and dissappeared followed by Rihan.

Chu Yueli was extremely shocked when he met those golden eyes; what a high perception. This guy is definitely not simple, since when did a person of stature appeared in this place?

The entire Xiao Clan fell into deep silence. Whether it's the influencial leaders or the Xiao Clan members, every single one of them were not making a single sound.

After an half an hour of silence, the people started to leave the Xiao Clans Headquarters and went back home.

The next morning, the news about what happened in the Xiao Clan spread with great intensity countless travelling bards who got a hold of this news were excited and made some stories..

The stories became more and more exaggerated as the news were passed around.

The normal citizens living in the Floating Cloud City who didn't have the chance to attend the gatherings in Xiao Sect and missed the events were extremely excited.

In Xia Clan Headquarters.

Chu Yueli was pondering about the "Nura Clan". She was a bit threatened by this sudden force that appeared out of nowhere.

"Master! Master!

She returned back to her senses when she heard Xia Qingyue.

"I'm sorry, did you say something?"

"Father has already helped us prepare profound horses. I request Master to walk towards the foyer." Xia Qingyue respectfully repeated.

"No need." Chu Yueli regained her calm shook her head and said: "Profound horses are too slow. I'll take you back using the Profound Floating Technique. Also, you should take care to sense the changes in my body's profound energy in the middle of my technique, it will benefit your profound strength greatly in the future…. Let us depart; Give me your hand."

Xia Qingyue held out her delicately white right hand without hesitation. It was obvious that Chu Yueli's Profound Floating Technique would speedily bring her up high into the sky. This thought had let a bit of excitement and expectation rise in her heart.

The event that happened last night is still fresh in their minds. Qingyue who was extremely competetive vowed to train harder.

Chu Yueli somewhat extended her ice-cold hand to grasp onto Xia Qingyue's. In a flash, the coldness on her body shifted and the formidable Frozen Cloud Arts started to rapidly swirl…. But then Chu Yueli's entire body suddenly began to shake. The recently activated Frozen Cloud Arts had also all of a sudden, disappeared without a trace. She turned her body towards Xia Qingyue, her beautiful unwavering gaze fixed onto Xia Qingyue…. It was clear that there was a certain kind of extreme astonishment in her eyes, as if there was an inconceivable worldly matter."

"Master? What's wrong?" Xia Qingyue asked, alarmed, because of Chu Yueli's frightening and unexpected reaction.

"Impossible…. This is absolutely impossible!!"

Chu Yueli absentmindedly soliloquized as she suddenly extended her other hand. After both her hands grabbed onto Xia Qingyue's right wrist as the coldness on her body spread out. Chu Yueli's beautiful eyes then widened yet again as her entire body fiercely trembled more than before; on her face, rested an expression of complete speechlessness and incredulous astonishment…. And ecstasy! She firmly snatched Xia Qingyue's hand as she looked her in the eye and actually became temporarily speechless due to her intensely stirred up emotions.

Her expression let Xia Qingyue become more and more alarmed: "Master…. wh…. what the heck's going on?"

"Qingyue!" Chu Yueli was suddenly aware of her heart's frantic throbbing that she was unable to alleviate and stop. When practicing the Frozen Cloud Arts, one's frame of mind would lean, bit by bit, towards an ice-cold and silent state. It was extremely difficult to be swayed and risen up with only momentum. It was not known for how many years, had her emotions been this out of control: "Inform this master, what exactly have you encountered during this period of time? Did you come across an extraordinary person? Or did consume some kind of pill that's against the gods!"

"I…." Xia Qingyue momentarily stared for a while.

"Altogether, a person can only have a total of Fifty Four Profound Entrances. An ordinary person is gifted with approximately ten inborn profound entrances while a person with high innate talent may be gifted with around fifteen profound entrances. When I first found you, I discovered that you had twenty one naturally opened profound entrances, an exceptionally great gift only seen once in a million! If one has more profound entrances opened, their cultivation of the profound, and their activation speed will increase. No matter what, a practitioner with twenty opened profound entrances would undoubtedly cultivate and activate their profound strength twice as fast as a practitioner born with only ten opened profound entrances."

"It is extremely difficult to open a profound entrance, for it even took Milady a century's worth of time to merely open seven profound entrances and achieve the opening of thirty profound entrances. In the entire Blue Wind Empire, the people who have achieved the supreme state of opening of thirty profound entrances, could not possibly surpass five! The reason why the Profound Opening Powder, the gift Xiao Sect gave to Xiao Clan, could speed up the cultivation process is due to it being able to temporarily open three to four profound entrances for a short period of time. However, that is merely a temporary effect…. Even so, the Profound Opening Powder is still a considerably precious medicine to Xiao Sect."

"Yet Qingyue, your…." Chu Yueli forcefully grabbed onto Xia Qingyue's shoulders as her beautiful eyes unblinkingly stared at her: "Fifty Four Profound Entrances have all been completely opened! And they all actually have been permanently opened…. do you understand what this implies? This means that the speed of your profound cultivation and activation would be almost double that of Milady's! It would also be quintuply faster than that of an ordinary person's! Not only that, the cultivation of any profound skill you practice in would be limitless. Whenever your profound strength makes a breakthrough, it shall never hit a 'bottleneck'!"

"When all the profound veins in the Fifty Four Profound Entrances have been completely opened, they are what legends refer to as the 'Heavenly God's Spiritual Veins,' and it is said that only a God from the legends would possess these profound veins! This has never happened before in the entire history of the Blue Wind Empire! Qingyue…. in this period of time, what exactly have you gone through!"

Chu Yueli's words stupefied Xia Qingyue.

Of course Chu Yueli knew of the profound veins' Fifty Four Profound Entrances. It was common knowledge amongst the profound practitioners. She understood the concept of fully opening the profound entrances, but it was only plausible in theory as no one had ever heard of anyone achieving such a state. It has been said that only the ancient gods were capable of having "Heavenly God's Spiritual Veins". It was simply an extravagant expectation that humanity could never obtain!

Could it really have been him?

That night.. that man..
