So you are coming to me?

Just like in the novel, some sects did not arrive in time unlike the Iron Spear sect and other lower sects. The last few who arrive were from Cloud Sun Sect, Burning Heaven Clan, and Xiao Sect.

XYuanba: *recognizing a person from the Xiao Sect* "Look brother-in-law, that person is Xiao Loucheng. Xiao Loucheng was publicly recognized as number one of New Moon City's younger generation having a Tenth level Nascent Profound strength. But after senior brother Raizen came, he became number two. Some Xiao Sect and Burning Heaven Clan disciples tried to undermine senior brother Raizen but they always fail.

Though they only thought that senior brother Raizen was only at the late stage of Nascent profound realm. His master probably helps him to not spread to the others that he is already in Spirit Profound realm. Xiao Loucheng wanted to fight with him but was stopped by his elders then he challenge senior brother Raizen to a match for this banquet." *looks at Raizen who is currently meditating while waiting for the show to start*

After all the heads of each sect and clans exchange pleasantries. Palace Chief Qin Wuyou started the banquet. A few moments later, the Profound Heart Sect's head elder suggests that the disciples of New Moon Palace exchange pointers with other sect's disciples. The palace chief didn't refute the suggestion and was smiling.

The spar started with ordinary disciples of the elementary profound realm. When it's time for the seven sects. Yun Che was about to go up to the stage to fight because they have bullied Xia Yuanba but was stopped by someone.

R: "Brother Yun Che stop. I will handle them."

Yun Che looked at Raizen wanting to argue but Jasmine told him otherwise.

Jas: "Wait! I want to see this person fight. Just conserve your energy."

Yun Che then walk back to his seat and attended to the injuries of Yuanba. Raizen then walk to the stage and Xuan Yu from Profound Heart Sect started taunting about how Yun Che backed out and was replaced by someone of the fifth level of the Elementary profound realm. When the disciples from the New Moon Palace heard that, they got confused because they know that Raizen is clearly in Spirit Profound realm. They tried to talk but something was preventing them from doing so.

Raizen just looked at Xuan Yu then raised his hand gesturing for his opponent to come.

Xuan Yu: "You're...courting death"

Xuan Yu attacked with the same skill as he use to defeat Yuanba but much stronger. Raizen just stood there on his spot and receive the attack. It created dust that covered the whole stage but the spectators from the sides were already smirking because someone from the New Moon Palace will be crippled.

When the dust settled, they see Xuan Yu in his attacking position and both his had were at the chest of Raizen who is currently looking bored.

R: "Is that it? Because if it is then, I am not impressed"

The head elder of the Profound Heart Sect could not believe what he saw and said:

Xuan Ao: "That disciple is cheating. Using an artifact in a spar"

Palace Chief Qin Wuyou didn't say anything then suddenly Raizen took off the clothes that he currently had on. This made some of the girls participating in the banquet pass out while others were having a nosebleed. Some men were blushing but they are trying to hide it. He then throws it in the direction of the Profound Heart Sect.

R: "Inspect it. Better yet... *looks back at Xuan Yu who is being wary of him* You can attack again. And if the result is the same as your first attack then it just goes to show how weak you are." *smirking*

Xuan Ao tried to stop Xuan Yu but the guy had already attacked after being provoked. Xuan Yu thinks that Raizen was looking down on him for fighting him only with shorts and not even thinking about defense. And just like his first attack, nothing happened to Raizen other than his hair being blown with the air pressure created from the attack.

R: "See, all bark and no bite. Why don't you return to your owner before you embarrass yourself further?"

Before Xuan Yu attacked the third time he was stopped by Xuan Ao. Xuan Yu get down from the stage feeling dejected and humiliated. His opponent didn't even lift a finger because if the two attacks that he made did not even faze him then even if the fight last long, it will still be a blow to him fighting someone at the elementary profound and not defeating the person. His opponent even throws away his minimum defense. Now the other sect's disciples were having a second thoughts of going up to the stage.

R: "If there is no one coming up to the stage then the New Moon Palace wins this banquet's spar. Don't you agree?" *looking at the people in the banquet."

Xiao Loucheng: "Heh! You can't decide just like that."

R: *looking at Xiao Loucheng* "That is right, you challenge me before. Well, let's get this over with."

Raizen disappears from his spot but in an instant, he was back again but this time he was lifting Xiao Loucheng with one hand.

XLoucheng: "What how di-.... AHHH!!"

Raizen is squeezing the neck of Xiao Loucheng slowly while looking at the representative of Xiao Sect indifferently

Xiao Zaihe: "Junior! Take off your hands from young master Xiao Loucheng! This is only a spar:"

R: "Spar? Don't take me for a fool old man. We all know that this banquet is a chance for your sects to humiliate the New Moon Palace Chief. If I was weaker then maybe the New Moon Palace would lose face again."

XZaihe: "So you are not just some random kid. If you don't return the young master then you're going against Xiao Sect!"

Instead of replying, Raizen twisted the left arm of Xiao Loucheng and broke it rendering it crippled. He then throws the unconscious Loucheng in the direction of Xiao Sect.

XZaihe: *looking at Loucheng then back at Raizen* "JUNIOR YOUR COURTING DEATH!!!"

The elder of Xiao Sect attacked Raizen. Qin Wuyou and the other elders tried to help Raizen but they were not able to move from their seats. Even Xiao Lie who is also watching the fight can't move. Yun Che wants to help but has been prohibited by Jasmine and told him to just watch.

When the attack of the elder came close, Raizen raised his hand and hit the elder as if swatting a fly. The defeated form of the elder flew back at the spot of Xiao Sect. When he made his move, he also showed the others his "cultivation" base of the Level Ten Spirit Profound realm.

The others could not believe that someone like him has the cultivation of Spirit Profound at such a young age. Some think that he came from the sacred grounds and just came here to play.

R: "Anyone else wants to tell me that I am "courting death"?"

Raizen looks at the others and most of them don't want to look at him in the eye. He then walks toward the location of the Profound Hearts Sect to get his clothes. The head elder move a few steps back out of fear and even Xuan Yu was further back.

R: "Thank you for taking care of my clothes."

Raizen smiled at them but this only made them flinch from their spot. He then walks towards Xiao Loucheng and Xiao Zaihe and drags them out of the banquet hall by their necks. Outside of the hall, people were looking at a person dragging two others in the direction of Xiao Sect. The next day, news about the Xiao Sect is circulating in the city. The sect master, Xiao Tiannan who is also an Earth Profound cultivator, is beaten up badly and a few others were also in bad conditions. The people who knew the whole story finally believe that Raizen can defeat someone in the Earth Profound realm while being in the Spirit Profound realm himself.

Even though Yun Che doesn't have any deep conflict with Xiao Sect, he still grabs the opportunity to extort money from Xiao Sect.

R: 'Now, this branch of Xiao Sect is done for, and even if the main sect comes, Xiao Lie is already at Emperor profound realm.'

The next day, Raizen talked to Lan Xuerou and Palace Chief about joining the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament.

LXuerou: "But why I am here?"

R: *looking at her* "Shouldn't the princess of Blue Wind Empire needs to hear something that concerns the empire itself."

LXuerou: *smiles at Raizen* "How long have you known?"

R: "Just now" *smirking*

Qin Wuyou and Lan Xuerou were dumbfounded by his answer. Before they started to talk and ask, Raizen beat them to it.

R: "I saw you guys talking to each other a few times and... *looking at Lan Xuerou* I heard the palace chief calling you "princess" before the banquet."

QWuyou: "So that is how"

LXuerou: "Are you going now to the Blue Wind Imperial Palace?"

R: "Yes, but I want Xia Yuanba and Yun Che to come with me."

LXuerou: "Why them? Do you know them?"

R: "Yes, but they don't know me."

Lan Xuerou was confused but she agreed to his condition.

LXuerou: "If you guys were going then I will come with you"

R: "Are you sure? I will be having spars with them along the way to the Palace to make them strong."

LXuerou: "Then train me too"

Lan Xuerou looks at the eyes of Raizen to show him that she already made up her mind. But it did not last long and averted her eyes while blushing.

The next day, Raizen talked to Xia Yuanba and Yun Che about his plans and how the Palace Chief granted his conditions. Yuanba was eager to accept but Yun Che took a few minutes to agree.

Jasmine said to Yun Che that he might come across an opportunity to travel than stay in the New Moon Palace. Besides, Raizen will spar with them so this is a chance for him to gain battle experience.

Two weeks after, the four of them were traveling at the edge of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

At the start of their journey, Lan Xuerou who is Cang Yue in disguise and told the others that she was the princess of the empire, Xia Yuanba, and even Yun Che were kind of afraid to go through the mountain range where even emperor profound realm cultivators also die. Raizen assured them that they will only travel at the edge and the most profound beasts that lurk around the edge ranges from elementary to the true profound realm and by himself can defeat an earth profound beast if necessary.

After two weeks of training, Cang Yue is now at level four True profound realm, Yun Che at level two nascent profound realm but Xia Yuanba has the most progress. His cultivation is currently at level three nascent profound realm. They didn't expect that Yuanba's cultivation would jump in levels. The first time is when Raizen is sparring with him. Raizen told Yuanba that he is currently the weakest of the group and will be a burden even to her sister if he didn't gain strength. He keeps undermining Yuanba while doing a spar that made Yun Che snap and attacks Raizen but was easily defeated. Yun Che even used the star god's broken shadow and "berserk" mode but was useless to Raizen.

Raizen then uses the state of the beaten Yun Che to show Yuanba what would happen to his loved ones if he didn't get stronger. Yuanba finally snapped and attacked Raizen with the strength of the tenth level of the elementary profound realm but he passed out before his attack reach Raizen. Cang Yue asked him what happened to Yuanba but only said that he didn't know. He was just trying to change the nature of Yuanba because he was too kind to be a cultivator. Yun Che has a different idea. He checked the pulse of Yuanba and was amazed that all the fifty-four profound entrances were opened.

He asked Jasmine if the "Tyrannical Emperor's Divine Veins" of Yuanba activated. Jasmine replied that Yuanba's veins change to a different kind that even she didn't know but Raizen might know but just didn't tell.

The next jump of the level was while Yuanba was sleeping and having a nightmare of his loved ones going further away from him because he was weak. The other three wake up from Yuanba's outburst and are shocked that his cultivation jumped again not three days after his first one.

Since then they continued their journey when on their thirteenth day of travel they were noticed by a group of people.

??: "Elementary Profound cultivators, we got lucky brothers. There are four of them and one of them is a girl. The boss will be happy if we brought them back"

Cang Yue, Yun Che, and Xia Yuanba when these people said that they were Elementary profound cultivators then they looked at Raizen being scared then it hit them. Raizen probably mask their cultivation base and made it look like they were weak elementary profound cultivators. The three of them started acting too even Cang Yue and Yun Che have tears in their eyes.

While they were being taken by these people, Cang Yue and Yun Che were asking for information from them. Now they know that this group of people were the Black Demon Mercenary group. They kidnap people from the nearby villages and sold them as slaves. They only caught two children in the morning so to be able to get four more increases their profit.

When Cang Yue heard this, she wanted to kill these people for what they did but was stopped by Yun Che and Raizen. Even Yuanba want to take action but he was holding it in. Along the way, Yuanba breakthrough again and now he is at the seventh level of Nascent profound realm. Only Raizen and Jasmine were able to notice this but said nothing.

A few minutes later, the group arrived at the camp of the mercenary group. Raizen looks at the three and nodded. Cang Yue was crying while killing the mercenary group when she saw some girls being used by the mercenary and two children crying in one of the cages.

Cang Yue walk up to the two children and free them while the others were helping some villagers that were also captured. She asked them why they were captured. After that, Feng Zu'er and Feng Xian'er asked them to come to their village.
