"Not exactly, we're just visitors here on an important mission." Walking up to the front of the group, Luke warmly smiled at the girl.

"I'm Xiao Lingxi, and this is Luke. What's your name, little angel?" Lingxi had gone up shoulder to shoulder with Luke, giving the girl her own beautiful smile.

Neither of them nor was Qingyue or Andrea totally shock at this little girl cultivation, but for anyone else, their world would be flipped upside down. Since all of them sense, this girl was at the Spiritual Xiantian realm!

Yet this girl doesn't look a day older than twelve years old!

Qingyue and Lingxi now have distorted common sense of the world thanks to Luke, so they were more open to the possibility of other freaks in cultivation.

But for Luke and Andrea, they were able to sense this was only the suppressed aura of the girl.

Her real cultivation was at the Earthen Core realm!

The mysterious nine lives girl, Luke liked to call her before. And just like the original, her origins seem quite powerful in this universe as well.

Although contrary to his thoughts despite sensing this girl soul to be unique. He didn't feel any calling or longing towards her.

After hearing Luke's and Lingxi's introductions, the girl gained a bright smile and began walking up to them. Luke's melodic voice and enchanting presence created an attractive force for her to go up and talk to them.

And more clearly than others could at first glance, she felt that Luke was a special person.

"Ah! I'm Xian Miaomiao, but you can call-"

"You all can come in now to meet Palace Mistress." Chu Yueli had suddenly appeared from the entrance of the temple, cutting their conversation off.

"Oh, well, it was nice to meet you, but we have to go now. Later." Smiling and waving at the girl Luke walked back to Chu Yueli. Andrea was already walking towards the temple while Qingyue was waiting for him and Lingxi.

"What unlucky timing! But we'll maybe see you again soon, bye!" Lingxi waved at the girl and soon joined the others in walking towards the temple.

While they all enter the temple, Xian Miaomiao was still a bit confused at the sudden rush. She did gather they were definitely here to meet Palace Mistress, but she didn't expect for all of them to go in.

"Miao! Where have you run off too? I was looking all over for you." From a fair distance, Xian Miaomiao heard a soft angelic voice. Yet, her mind was still on that group of four, more specifically the boy with the blue hair...

….

"I didn't expect Palace Mistress to want to meet us so quickly...and all of us at the same time?" Qingyue voiced out her suspicious since from Chu Yueli's stories, the Palace Mistress seems like a way colder, cautious person.

Chu Yueli was leading them down the halls of the luxurious ice temple, and she answered Qingyue with,

"I didn't account for this either, but she is genuinely curious to meet all of you." She turned her head around to explain it to Qingyue, and her eyes specifically darted to Luke for a split second. Yueli couldn't help but recall the specific interest her Mistress had in the boy.

It was something Luke immediately notice and he couldn't help but praise Spooky saying,

'You really did a nice one on allowing us to get here so quickly. Any tips for this meeting?'

'If you just, well, be yourself for this meeting, everything will go well. But prepare to flex a bit.' Their short conversation suddenly stalled when the whole group arrived at a large, already open ice room.

Chu Yueli stopped at the entrance of the room until she heard,

"Come in."

With their cue, the group of five walked into the cold room.

They were greeted by the majestic of Gong Yuxian and Ling Hua. These two were both extraordinary, grand high-level figures, but Andrea had her own plans on making this meeting go in Luke's favor.

Right when they walked in, Andrea used her soul to control her curse and put all of the attention on her.

And it worked flawlessly!

It was cold dead silence as Ch Yueli, Gong Yuxian, and even Ling Hua, all suddenly stared at Andrea. Outwardly nothing changed about her, yet for these three, they felt an overwhelming, daunting presence from her.

Their souls had actually quiver slightly and was continually stirring from her!

Luke, of course, wasn't affected. Still, while Lingxi and Qingyue similarly weren't that affected by her, they could tell Andrea had gained a sudden shift in her presence.

Andrea's new presence even counter Luke's curse a bit, and witnessing what happened, Luke knew what he had to do.

Working in perfect tandem with his cousin with only one second after she caught all of their attention, Luke operated his soul to control his curse.

"Greetings, Seniors! It's a pleasure to meet you both!" The two seconds strange, tense silence was broken off as Luke's warm, charming voice soothed into the ears like a relaxing melody.

He completely overshadows Andrea's curse while Andrea controlled her curse to be at the same level as before.

From Luke's control this time, if he isn't by a massive number of people, he could cause direct soothing warmth to their souls. The warmness completely erases Andrea's daunting presence and puts Luke at an even higher position in their minds.

Chu Yueli, Gong Yuxian, and Ling Hua all got jolted from their slight stupor, and Yuxian focuses in on the blue-haired boy. Before Yueli left, she allowed the others who came with the boy to come in, but she didn't expect that kind of presence from Andrea.

And never in her wildest dream did she think a male, only in his teenage years, could stir her mind and make her feel even a bit warm on the inside! The calling from her soul got exponentially stronger now, and she wanted nothing more than to just talk with this boy.

However she pushed all these thoughts down and with no change in her expression, immediately said to Luke,

"Who are you?"

Seeing how her attention was entirely on him, and Luke could sense she was more affected than usual by his curse, it was time to strike fast!

He grabbed both Lingxi and Qingyue hands, walking up to Gong Yuxian, stopping just a few feet away from her grand ice chair. And before she or Yueli could respond at his actions, Luke said,

"I'm Luke, Palace Mistress. These are my girlfriends Lingxi and Qingyue, and we have come to make a request!"

'Whir!'

With a gentle squeeze of their hands, the three of them plus Andrea fully unleashed their prowess!

Blue lightning crackled out of Luke gracefully, wrapping him up in a noble blue lightning aura.

Black lightning spewed out Lingxi, dancing elegantly with Luke's blue lightning. She gained an enchanting black lightning aura with sparks of blue electricity in it.

A majestic blue ice aura exuded from Qingyue, and constant flashes of blue lightning appeared in her aura.

Off to the side of them, and even darker black lightning blew out of Andrea like a demonic wind, wrapping her in a daunting black lightning aura.

Towards this sudden and abrupt change, Gong Yuxian and Ling Hua stood up in total shock!

Two aura prowess rivaling the Earthen Core realm, yet they were in the True Profound Realm! Lingxi aura matched a Spiritual Xiantian, and Qingyue had a half step Earthen Core prowess!

It was too groundbreaking, unimaginable, and crazy, yet they couldn't deny the reality in front of their faces!

Even more so, for these two mighty power figures, they have seen countless geniuses in their time. Still, not a single one just from their mere aura can exude a power that significantly farther than their original realm.

Not even the Seven Wind Empire could produce a genius who can skip one small level, yet these four can all at least surpass their own realm!

Despite seeing it already, Chu Yueli was still in awe of these youths' insane prowess. And her eyes got enraptured by the magnificent form of Luke's soul lightning state.

"Palace Mistress, we come in a request that you would allow me to travel with Luke, Lingxi, and Andrea. I believe my growth will be far better on our own with the abilities we possess."

Qingyue had suddenly spoken up after showing off their auras and immediately open her palm after. What appeared further rocked Yuxian and Hua world as Grey Spirit Power formed on her hand!

"Mhn! None of us are average or weak at all!" Lingxi had suddenly opened her palm and formed the same grand Grey Spirit Power!

"Our Spirit Power is quite strong." Luke had let go of Lingxi's hand, and had formed the same Purple axe from his Spirit Power like before.

"I suppose I should show off too." Andrea sarcastically said and formed the same Purple sword from her Spirit Power like before.

"Y-you two not only have Earthen Core prowess but also have the Spirit Power to match the Sky Lord realm?!"

Ling Hua for the first time spoken in complete dismay!

He was a Gold Cloak World Spiritists and knew about the inner working of Spirit Power more than anyone one here. And so he able to at first glance, sense that Luke and Andrea's Purple cloak Spirit Power is equal to middle-level Sky Lord's!

For him, this also proves the cousins' excellent comprehension and control of Spirit Power. For each realm of Spirit Power unknown to the cousins, four sub-stages defined each realm.

And for every time one can comprehend a deeper understanding and gain better control, they could breakthrough until they reach the peak stage of that realm Spirit Power.

But for some reason or another, Ling Hua couldn't accurately sense the stage of the cousin Spirit Power since they massively differ from the average ones.

Gong Yuxian, throughout all this time, was going through the motions. From insane Heaven-defying Prowess to now Spirit Power that matches Sky Lord's, it felt like a bad fever dream.

Furthermore, throughout this time, she felt her soul frantically stir, and her curiosity to see more of Luke burned at a high intensity. Plus, Luke's grand image in his soul lightning state left a deep impression on her, causing her chest to tighten a bit.

"As Qingyue said, Palace Mistress, I wish to gain your approval to take her with us. With my cousin and I, having the power to match Sky Lord's, I believe we have sufficient strength to gain experience on our own."

Luke smoothly stated, causing even more ripples in Gong Yuxian's mind.

"That...maybe so, however, how will you and your cousin fair in actual combat?" Smiling Luke knew where this was heading, and he asked,

"What is, Palace Mistress, suggesting?"

"All of your auras certainly prove you have the raw power to match higher realms, yet do you have the skills to put it in good use? If you want to take Qingyue with you, then I need to see it."

This was actually a pretty reasonable excuse coming from Yuxian. For cultivators who rely on medicine, pills, or any other cheap way to advanced through realms.

Their actual skills in combat will take a significant nose dive leading them to be far weaker than others on the same level.

Even as Gong Yuxian knows, all these youths must have perfect control with Essence energy. She needed some excuse to just what else abilities this boy holds.

At least that what she told herself as would deny the thought of just wanting to see and talk to Luke more.

"I accept this challenge then Palace Mistress. Who shall I'll be fighting?" Gong Yuxian looked over to Ling Hua and asked,

"Get Xuan Yinyin for me and tell him to meet us at the Immortal Stage. Yueli, tell Qianxue and Lianqie to come as well. You four will follow me!"
