[Name: Huang Xuan] [Age: Twenty-three] [Realm: Core Formation Realm Eighth Heaven (apparent), Purple Mansion Realm First Heaven (actual)] [Identity: Former Holy Son Candidate of Yaoguang Holy Land, reincarnation of the remnant soul within a drop of Great Emperor Xuanhuang's Emperor Blood] [Cultivation Aptitude: Saint-grade Top-tier Aptitude] [Other Talents: Saint-grade Top-tier All-attribute Talent, Saint-grade High-grade Array Dao Talent, Saint-grade High-grade Talisman Dao Talent, Saint-grade High-grade...] [Physique: Mysterious Yellow Undying Body (incomplete)] [Technique: Mysterious Yellow Emperor Scripture (incomplete)] [Divine Ability: Mysterious Yellow Limitless Dao (incomplete)] [Artifact: Mysterious Yellow Undying Seal (imitation)] [Fortune: Gold!]
"Great Emperor Xuanhuang!"
Hua Yunfei was truly stunned.
This Huang Xuan was the reincarnated body of a drop of Great Emperor Xuanhuang's Emperor Blood, containing a wisp of his soul!
The Mysterious Yellow Undying Body, the Mysterious Yellow Limitless Dao, and the like were all the physique and divine abilities for which Great Emperor Xuanhuang had become famous!
As the last Human Great Emperor in human history, the world's memory of him was undoubtedly the clearest.
Legend had it that after Great Emperor Xuanhuang traveled to an unknown place, he returned and soon afterward ascended into immortality.
He was the Great Emperor who had spent the shortest time in the world.
Now, it seemed that before Great Emperor Xuanhuang ascended into immortality, he had left behind a contingency and lived another life!
This Huang Xuan was the reborn Great Emperor Xuanhuang!
However, perhaps because he had reincarnated through a drop of blood, Huang Xuan's Mysterious Yellow Undying Body, Mysterious Yellow Emperor Scripture, and Mysterious Yellow Limitless Dao were all incomplete.
Even his aptitude was merely Saint-grade Top-tier!
It was more than a little short of his former Emperor-grade aptitude.
"When Huang Xuan took part in the Yaoguang Holy Land's Holy Son assessment, he must have held back a great deal."
"Otherwise, with his talent, becoming the Holy Son would have been effortless."
"Yet he gave up that chance and instead came to Qiankun Grotto-Heaven for the disciple recruitment assessment... Something fishy is going on."
"I need to find a way to stop him from entering Qiankun Grotto-Heaven. With talent like his, he ought to join Kaoshan Sect!"
Hua Yunfei's thoughts raced. Just as he was about to act, he suddenly stopped. An unexpected incident had occurred in the square.
Huang Xuan turned a deaf ear to the discussions around him and had no desire to interact with them.
His identity was special and absolutely could not be exposed!
Yaoguang Holy Land possessed an Emperor weapon, and Emperor weapons had spirits.
The longer he remained there, the more likely his identity was to be discovered.
Moreover, a terrifying old ancestor of Yaoguang Holy Land had recently awakened. His Spiritual Sense was like a sea, blanketing the entire holy land.
For safety's sake, Huang Xuan left Yaoguang Holy Land.
He had to be cautious, because once an accident occurred, what awaited him would be eternal damnation!
Though he had once been Great Emperor Xuanhuang, ruling over countless races and revered by all under heaven,
once that old ancestor discovered his identity, the other party would not care who he was.
He would devour him without hesitation, helping himself take another step forward on the Emperor Road!
He understood this all too well!
Though he had reincarnated from Emperor Blood containing a wisp of soul and his memories were incomplete,
he still knew just how alluring he was to those Old Monsters who had nearly reached the end of the Emperor Road!
Thus, leaving the Supreme Dao Holy Land early was a form of protection for himself.
The reason he had come to Qiankun Grotto-Heaven was that if Huang Xuan wanted to grow quickly, he could not do without vast resources to lay the groundwork.
It would be difficult to achieve through his own efforts alone.
As the fourth-ranked top force among the Nine Great Immortal Sects of the Eastern Domain, Qiankun Grotto-Heaven's resources were absolutely among the best in the entire Eastern Domain!
Though he had only revealed Sacred Tier Low Grade aptitude, in this era, joining Qiankun Grotto-Heaven should have been as easy as turning over his hand.
Once he obtained abundant resources and cultivated in seclusion for a hundred years,
when his strength had increased, he could search for the Mysterious Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum.
His memories were incomplete, his foundation incomplete, and everything he possessed was incomplete. He needed the Emperor's Heart from the Emperor Corpse to make up for these deficiencies!
Though he had ascended into immortality in his previous life, for the sake of this day, he had deliberately left behind his Emperor's Heart and buried it somewhere.
But his memories were incomplete, and he could not recall where. He could only wait until he was powerful enough, then dig through every corner of the Eastern Domain in the hope of finding the Mysterious Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum!
At that moment, Qiankun Grotto-Heaven's vast mountain gate opened. An immortal crane flew over and descended above the crowd.
An old man stood atop the immortal crane, his long beard fluttering in the wind. As he looked toward a certain spot below, a trace of regret flashed through his eyes.
Huang Xuan looked up. The other party was looking at him.
Everyone noticed it and secretly glanced at Huang Xuan, their eyes revealing envy.
"As expected of someone with Sacred Tier Low Grade aptitude. A Qiankun Grotto-Heaven elder personally came out to meet him!"
"Sure enough, as long as your aptitude is strong enough, you'll be a prized morsel wherever you go."
"Even after leaving Yaoguang Holy Land, he can still easily catch the eye of the other Nine Great Immortal Sects!"
The elder atop the immortal crane looked at Huang Xuan, shook his head with a sigh, and said, "Leave. Qiankun Grotto-Heaven cannot accommodate you."
Huang Xuan blinked, somewhat stunned. "Senior, why?"
The elder atop the immortal crane said, "You should know perfectly well in your heart. There is no need to ask such a question."
Hearing this, Huang Xuan helplessly shook his head and turned to leave.
He passed through the crowd and vanished from the square.
"Holy crap! What's going on? Qiankun Grotto-Heaven won't even accept someone with aptitude like Huang Xuan's?"
"What a pig brain you have. Something is obviously wrong here. How could Qiankun Grotto-Heaven possibly look down on Sacred Tier Low Grade aptitude?"
"That's right. If I'm not mistaken, it may be because of Yaoguang Holy Land!"
"You mean... Yaoguang Holy Land blacklisted Huang Xuan?!"
"More or less!"
"Indeed, Yaoguang Holy Land seems to deeply hate disciples who leave. Whenever this happens, those departing disciples can scarcely join any other major sect."
"What a pity. Though he is still allowed to join small sects, that would be far too unfair to Huang Xuan."
"Even Huang Xuan, if he joins a small sect, will suffer greatly limited future achievements due to insufficient resources."
The crowd's discussion made the regret on the elder atop the immortal crane's face deepen.
That was Sacred Tier Low Grade aptitude, and they were letting him slip away just like that!
"Damn Yaoguang Holy Land."
The elder atop the immortal crane could do nothing about it. Qiankun Grotto-Heaven and Yaoguang Holy Land were located in the same region, and he knew full well how terrifying the other party was.
They could not afford to provoke them. Once the other party had spoken, Qiankun Grotto-Heaven had no choice but to comply!
"What an overbearing Yaoguang Holy Land!"
Hua Yunfei sneered.
Huang Xuan was extraordinarily gifted. Even within a Supreme Dao Holy Land, he would have been among the very best.
Though he had not been selected as the Holy Son, if he were properly nurtured, he would surely become a top-tier powerhouse in the future.
Yet he had suddenly and inexplicably chosen to leave the holy land.
This was something the holy land could not accept!
Yaoguang Holy Land would not kill Huang Xuan over this, but neither would it make things easy for him.
They had blacklisted his name among the Nine Great Immortal Sects of the Eastern Domain, forbidding the major top forces from accepting him as a disciple!
"Qiankun Grotto-Heaven doesn't dare, but I do!"
Hua Yunfei gave a low snort. He had already devised a plan.
As long as he acted without anyone knowing, erasing every trace, even Yaoguang Holy Land would not be able to trace it back to him.
Of course, it was not that he feared Yaoguang Holy Land. He simply did not want to bring trouble to Kaoshan Sect.
With that thought, Hua Yunfei controlled the flying boat and approached the departing Huang Xuan.
As he acted, he used immense power to erase every trace. The entire flying boat merged into the void and shot through it.
