7 I’ll definitely take care of your descendant. She will be your pride.

Jade Trinity Kingdom had a winding and deep as the sea of history. One of their finest pillars — the foundation of cultivating talents — was the Myriad Palace.

Myriad Palace had nurture outstanding talents. It happens that the Myriad Palace's Lord was one of them. He became the Palace Lord once he reached the Void Realm at the age of 40, representing his prestige and strength.

Only a few could fight the Myriad Palace's Palace Lord; perhaps in the Jade Trinity Kingdom, only the kingdom's Supreme Generals or the Eternal Academy's Dean could defeat him.

Today afternoon, the clouds were drifting slowly and evenly; however, a speed that surpassed time scattered these clouds.

Two people flew above the Hu County as they slowly descended on the Luminous Jade Palace; the older one was a bearded old man; while the younger one was a beautiful maiden.

These two were naturally the Guests. The Old Man goes by the moniker of Myriad Palace's Palace Lord. The beautiful lady next to him was his daughter, Yu'er.

Xu Suyu wasn't enthusiastic on the journey, for she understood that her father would marry her to someone she didn't even know.

Although her inner self was saying 'Don't go', she couldn't go against her father's wishes. It was for her own good after all. A mortal like her wouldn't survive for long after his father died.

After they enter the Luminous Jade Palace — The King's residence — generals greeted them warmly before they were brought into the Guest Hall by the servants.

Zhou Chang was already sitting there when they entered, and he widely smiled as they arrived. He said, "Palace Lord, welcome. Sorry for the inconvenience; please sit."

"It's no problem," Old Man sat opposite him and said, "That's alright. I came here for a ma..."

Myriad Palace's Palace Lord immediately went through his business. Xu Suyu sighed when he heard that as she told her father. "I wanna go out for a bit."

Zhou Chang's eyes brightened; this is a good opportunity to introduce her to his Sixth Son. He hurriedly said: "Go and entertain Lady Xu."

A maid was quick to understand his intention. The King wants to introduce her to the useless Sixth Prince!

A few minutes ago, the King already told them to brainstorm an idea to introduce the lady to the Sixth Prince. Telling them to make sure the prince should be placed in the limelight; exaggerating him as a dragon amongst men.

She hurriedly walked towards Xu Suyu. She humbly said: "Lady Xu, may I have the honor?"

This was Xu Suyu first visit to this small city, so she thought it was a good idea for someone to lead her. Furthermore, the maid was a woman, too. She didn't like a man to lead her whatsoever— they were lewd and would try to hit on her.

Lead by the maid, Xu Suyu visited the palace, sightseeing beautiful places. As they sauntered in the corridor — Gardens surrounding them — she suddenly felt that it was unusual not to see any princes or princesses here. She eyed the maid: "This wander is magnificent. Anyway, maids, soldiers, servants...other than that, I don't see any princes or princesses. Why is that?"

"That's natural, Lady Xu." The maid slowly replied, "The princes and princesses are studying in the Eternal Academy."

"Oh." Although Eternal Academy was the archenemy of Myriad palace, it was not to the point they fight to the death. She nodded, "So there's no one here..."

The maid thought it was a good opportunity, so she said, "Actually the Sixth Prince is here. He's very talented, very handsome, and very poetic. What a coincidence! Lady Xu, that's the Sixth Prince, Zhou Mingyu."

Following the maid's gaze, a young man was resting on the blossom tree. He was very charming and handsome. His hair swaying in the air as he chewed a grass. Other than being elegant, he was very carefree. As if the world revolves around him.

Xu Suyu vividly remembered this scene. Time passed by and night descended. In the guest-chamber, Xu Suyu looked at her father and said, "Father...Why do you keep insisting? I don't want to marry anyone..."

The Old Man, Xu Ziqu, sighed while he looked at the stars. "The reason I choose Hu County is because this is a relatively small city. I'm assured that you're gonna be safe here. I don't have much time left; you are smart, you naturally understand the internal conflict happening right now."

Xu Suyu tightly clasped her hand when she heard that. As the daughter of the Palace Lord, she understood that many people are eying for his father's position. Although Myriad Palace was a safe place for the time being, someone would definitely come knocking to assassinate her once her father died.

As she thought up here, she couldn't help but bit her lips. If she could just cultivate. If she was not a mortal...perhaps everything would have been alright.

She looked at her father; he was coughing and there were wrinkles around his face. He was very old, plus the deadly poison infesting his body, he didn't have much time left.

"I'm heading to the courtyard..." She told her father as she walked aimlessly. She went to the courtyard, gazed at the stars, as she quietly looked around. She happened to see a sword laying next to a boulder and picked it up.

She was a genius of martial techniques, however, she couldn't cultivate no matter how hard she tries. Every time she cultivates, she feels strange every inch of her body, like a magma boiling her; it was painful.

She raised the sword and started to perform various forms of slashes. As time passed by, she sighed. She wiped the sweats on her forehead and sat cross-legged. She gritted her teeth and tried to cultivate, but the magma-like pain immediately overran her body.

However, she didn't give up and persist. She closed her eyes and tried to gather Qi as much as possible, but the pain kept torturing her body. She bit her lip, forcing her not to scream. Otherwise, her father would know that she forced herself to cultivate.

At this moment, she suddenly couldn't control her body. She couldn't stop the boundless Genuine Qi from entering her body. She wanted to stand, but she lost all her strength.

"Is this over? Is there where I'm gonna die?" Tears fell in her eyes. As she collapsed to the ground, her blurry vision suddenly noticed a figure standing in front of her. But alas, her will knocked her unconscious.

Long Fengxian looked at the unconscious woman. He sighed. No wonder this afternoon he felt this lady was so familiar. She was actually the descendant of Xu Ying.

Fengxian closed his eyes as he thought about her. That day, she left his side because of an argument.

Xu Ying was someone precious to her. During the myriad epoch, he happened to encounter a young beggar — she was Xu Ying.

That year, he found out that Xu Ying had the Immortal Reversing Constitution. This constitution was very rare and people who have it had the potential to reach beyond the realm of Emperor.

However, Immortal Reversing Constitution had a major setback. And that is they couldn't cultivate. Because of that, Fengxian helped Xu Ying on her path of martial arts. With painstaking effort, he and Xu Ying created the Defying Mortal Technique; something that balances her constitution.

As Fengxian looked at Xu Ying's descendant, he finally remembered the reason why Xu Ying left him. That day, she told him that her wife will betray him, but he insisted that her wife wouldn't do that. They argued to the point Xu Ying left his side. Perhaps after leaving Xu Ying found someone she loved and birthed a child...

"Ying'er..." Fengxian looked at the sky and tears fell to his eyes. "I'm sorry...I should have listened to you. I should've known better. Ying'er, I'm sorry. Someday, I will definitely find you. If you're gone, I'll definitely bring you back. Hell or Heaven, no one can stop me from bringing you back. "

Losing her was definitely something Fengxian couldn't bear. Sadly, there was no medicine for regret. Fengxian could only swallow his bitterness and anger.

After calming down, he looked at the unconscious woman again. He sat next to her and began healing her. He sighed: "Ying'er...I'll take care of your descendant...Someday, she will definitely be your pride..."
