The Great Blue Silver Emperor and Its Loyal Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect

"Are they born with the qualifications to compete for the throne?"

Lan Hua whispered, her gaze falling with complex emotions upon the Blue Silver Grass in Tang Shan's palm, which was etched with silver veins.

Born to be a king?

Thinking this, she raised her own palm, and a thick stalk of Blue Silver Grass glowing with blue light emerged.

She had just turned sixteen this year, yet her soul power had already reached level thirty-six; even among the direct descendants of the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect, her talent was considered exceptional.

Always hailed as a genius by the elders of the sect, she now looked at Lan Yu and Tang Shan and finally understood what it meant to say that there is always someone better, and a sky beyond the sky.

However, gazing at the soul rings beneath Lan Yu and Tang Shan, she truly grasped the meaning of those words.

Lan Ya, sitting to the side, noticed her daughter's unusual behavior and reached out to gently press her head against her shoulder, offering silent comfort.

Seeing that the purpose of their visit had been achieved, Lan Yu rose to take his leave.

"Xiao Yu, since you and Xiao Shan are Ah Yin's children, you will eventually return to the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect."

"You have just arrived in Tiandou City and surely lack a secure place to stay. Why not stay here with your aunt for now?"

Lan Ya stroked Tang Shan's hair and spoke softly, trying to persuade them to stay.

She could tell that Lan Yu was a young man with his own ideas, and that Tang Shan's every word and action were influenced by him.

"Thank you, Aunt, but I think it is best if we don't. The current situation within the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect is complicated, and if Xiao Shan and I stay here, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble."

Lan Yu thought for a moment before politely declining.

Hearing this, Lan Ya knew his reasoning was sound, so she nodded helplessly, then smiled.

"In that case, you must at least stay for a meal before you go. I cannot let Ah Yin's children leave Lanya Pavilion on empty stomachs."

Before Lan Yu could refuse again, she signaled for Lan Hua to go and arrange dinner, insisting on properly hosting the two children.

During the meal, Lan Yu held his chopsticks, suddenly remembering something.

Since the Haotian Sect had affiliated forces like the four single-attribute clans, did the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect have any?

Thinking this, he looked up at Lan Ya.

"Aunt, the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect is the number one sect in the world. I wonder if it has any affiliated forces?"

As his words fell, the atmosphere at the dining table suddenly went quiet.

Lan Ya's hand, which had been picking food for Tang Shan, froze mid-air, and Lan Hua also stopped her chopsticks. A strange expression appeared on both mother and daughter's faces.

Did I guess wrong?

Watching their reaction, a trace of doubt flickered through Lan Yu's mind.

Tang Shan, however, did not pay much attention to the conversation between them; she kept her head down, focused on eating the food in her bowl, her cheeks puffed out.

In her heart, if the sky fell, her brother would hold it up. From childhood until now, her brother had always arranged everything perfectly. This feeling of having someone to rely on gave her great peace of mind.

"Sigh..."

After a long silence, Lan Ya let out a soft sigh and looked up at Lan Yu, her eyes hiding traces of past memories and sorrow.

"The Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect once had four affiliated sects: the Strength Gate, the Defense Gate, the Break Gate, and the Agility Gate."

"After the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect closed its mountains and withdrew from the world, the Strength Gate was the first to rename itself the Strength Clan, completely severing ties with the sect and establishing its own house."

"As for the Agility Gate and the Defense Gate..."

Lan Ya paused, her voice turning heavy.

"The situation back then was different from today. Don't look at how the sect and the various powers seem to be at peace now; back then, they came with the determination to annihilate our sect."

"On the eve of the great battle, the former leader of the Agility Gate went deep into enemy lines to scout, was ambushed, and unfortunately died in battle."

"With the clan leaderless and having suffered heavy losses, they had no choice but to retreat to Longxing City in the Star Luo Empire alongside the Defense Gate, which had also been severely crippled."

"Over the years, they have relied on intelligence gathering and city defense construction to keep the sect running."

"As for the Break Gate."

Speaking of this, Lan Ya's tone could not help but carry a hint of regret and admiration.

"The current leader of the Break Gate, Yang Wudi, is by seniority the biological uncle of your mother, Ah Yin."

"Back then, to protect the Sect Master as they broke through the encirclement, he took a joint strike from several Title Douluo head-on. Although he was lucky enough to survive, he was left with permanent hidden injuries, and he will never have the possibility of breaking through to Title Douluo in this lifetime."

"Now, he lives in seclusion in Tiandou City with the Break Gate lineage, establishing a foothold through his skills in alchemy and poison-making, and rarely interacts with outside sects."

After saying this, Lan Ya looked at the contemplative Lan Yu and said solemnly: "In the future, when you and Xiao Shan break through to Title Douluo, you must take good care of the Defense, Agility, and Break gates."

"They did not leave the sect of their own volition back then; it was truly forced by the circumstances."

"What about the Strength Clan?" Lan Yu asked in a deep voice.

Lan Ya's expression instantly turned cold, and the pressure of a Soul Douluo powerhouse was faintly released.

"The Strength Clan could not withstand the pressure from all sides and was the first to defect and surrender."

"If they had simply surrendered, that would be one thing, but to show their loyalty to the various forces surrounding us, their leader, Titan, personally took action to surround and kill one of our sect's Soul Douluo elders."

"The Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect has never forgotten this debt."

"If it weren't for the fact that all of our sect's Title Douluo powerhouses are being held back by various factions and unable to leave, how could that Titan still be alive in this world!"

Lan Ya's willow-leaf brows stood on end, her tone icy and sharp.

A moment later, her emotions eased slightly, and her tone softened a fraction: "Lan Yu, I know your talent is peerless and that you would never settle for being under anyone else; surely, you will establish your own faction in the future."

"If you ever find yourself in need of people, I hope you will choose from the Defense, Speed, and Break Sects."

In Lan Ya's eyes, Lan Yu's talent even surpassed that of the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect's founding ancestor—the Undying Douluo!

With such a monstrous talent, if the three sects were to follow him, their future would be boundless.

Lan Ya paused, then continued, addressing the thoughtful Lan Yu.

"Of course, I hope that Xiao Shan will return to the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect in the future to succeed as Sect Master."

"This... will the elders within the sect have any objections?" Lan Yu asked, frowning.

He remembered well that in the original story, Tang San was frequently harassed by the internal elders, having to return to the sect three times to clear Tang Hao's name.

"Objections?"

Lan Ya was stunned for a moment, then let out a laugh like silver bells. After a while, under the confused gazes of the three, she explained slowly: "It is the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect that needs the Blue Silver Emperor, not the Blue Silver Emperor who needs the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect!"

"Remember, an order issued by the Blue Silver Emperor within the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect is like a sacred decree issued by a monarch to his subjects—holy and inviolable!"

The great Blue Silver Emperor would eventually arrive at her most loyal Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect!

An hour later, Lan Yu and Tang Shan finished the banquet. Before they left, Lan Ya handed a primitive-looking jade card to Lan Yu and said, "If you encounter danger, inject your soul power into this, and I will arrive at the first opportunity."

After politely declining Lan Ya's offer to see them off, Lan Yu and Tang Shan walked alone through the bustling streets of Tiandou City.

It was already night, and though the surroundings were brightly lit, there were few people about.

Tang Shan linked her arm with Lan Yu's, resting her head gently on his shoulder, and said softly, "Brother, Auntie just said that I would succeed as the Sect Master of the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect in the future. Is that true or false?"

"Of course it's true~"

Lan Yu smiled slightly and dotingly reached out to flick the young girl's nose.

Sigh, what a pity. Why isn't Brother's martial soul Blue Silver Grass?

If it were, that would be great. Then I could order him around and do whatever I wanted with him~

Just as Tang Shan was lost in her fantasies, a sharp whistling sound suddenly tore through the air from the distance!
