"Master, this disciple has lived on an overseas island all this time and knows very little about the sacred lands and sword domains. You always said I should be wary of the other sacred lands and sword domains—are they hostile to our Azure Heaven Sword Domain?" Yu Ningsui asked anxiously.
"It cannot quite be called hostility. The years stretch on, and our fellow Supremes grow old. Even if some Supremes have long since lost much of their desire for higher realms, there is no guarantee that a few madmen are not still living in the same era. Moreover, this era is the most unstable of all. Talents are emerging in droves from every domain, while our Azure Heaven Sword Domain has a gap between generations. It is unavoidable." Yan Jueshuang sighed.
"Unavoidable? What is unavoidable? Because our Azure Heaven Sword Domain has a gap between generations, will we lose out on competing for certain resources? Back when I was at Green Jade Mountain Sect, I heard that if some sect disciples were outstanding enough and went to the Spirit Sect to take part in grand competitions, they could win certain delegated privileges and resources for their sect. Is it something like that?" Yu Ningsui sank into thought.
Yet Yan Jueshuang shook her head. "How could it be that simple? Disciples look at the benefits before their eyes, while the Supremes of each domain look at their foundations. Without a foundation, what will happen in a hundred years? A thousand years? If there are no more talented disciples to hold things up, every domain will descend into war. The state of our Azure Heaven Sword Domain is, to them, like a thunder bead that could explode at any moment—especially your master."
"Why? How is Master a thunder bead? What is that?"
