Recently, a piece of news spread through Heavenly God Academy at an astonishing speed, then swept across the entire Hundred Saints City.
Inside a luxurious tavern in the city, several cultivators were conversing.
"Have you heard? Princess Long Yao of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom is holding a discourse conference."
"Princess Long Yao? One of the three heavenly beauties of Heavenly God Academy, the ninth princess of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom?"
"That's right. It will be held at Starfall Pavilion in the north of the city, at Senior Xuanjizi's cultivation ground!"
"Starfall Pavilion? That Xuanjizi whose formation deducing skills stand unrivaled throughout the Barren Domain?"
"Exactly. I heard Princess Long Yao has set three trials. Whoever comes out on top may spend a night with her!"
The words struck like a thunderclap, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
At the neighboring table, several richly dressed young cultivators glanced over. One of them clicked his tongue. "Spend a night with Princess Long Yao? Hiss, I fear few prodigies could withstand such temptation."
Another lowered his voice. "Word is, they're looking for a husband to marry into Princess Long Yao's family. A pity it's marrying in—who would be willing?"
In the corner, an independent cultivator with a fierce aura downed a mouthful of wine and sighed to his companion. "Damn it, such a good thing isn't for the likes of us. Invitations were only sent to the very top prodigies, those from wealthy and powerful major factions."
"Fuck, for a night with such a beauty, forget marrying in—I'd even be willing to lose one thousand years of my life."
If one were to gain the favor of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, it would be like soaring into the heavens in a single leap.
