That night, Yao Xuanchen summoned Xiao Mo to his bedchamber.
There was no one else in the bedchamber, only Yao Xuanchen.
"Do you want to know my cultivation realm?"
Yao Xuanchen suddenly asked Xiao Mo.
"Your subject would not dare overstep."
Xiao Mo treasured the opportunity to serve Yao Xuanchen.

"That's right, One-Star Dou Zun."
"Are you that surprised?"
Yao Xuanchen asked Xiao Mo.
"Of course I am."
Xiao Mo answered.
"After all, you're a One-Star Dou Zun expert, and this is only the Jia Ma Empire."
Yao Xuanchen continued, "Actually, I also know something of reading the heavens!"
"From the moment I learned about you, I had already singled you out."
Without the slightest hesitation, Yao Xuanchen told Xiao Mo outright.
"Singled me out?"
Xiao Mo did not quite understand what Yao Xuanchen meant.
"You are the only person in our Jia Ma Empire with a chance of breaking through to Dou Sheng."
Yao Xuanchen continued.
Hearing the emperor of the Jia Ma Empire say this about him left
