Chapter 19 - Heavenly Plateau
While Irene, Yoruichi and Yun Mei collect the treasure and help the people settle in their new homes, their master is currently heading towards the Black Dragon Family.
"My lord, may I ask for your name?" Duan Yun said flying in the sky seeing his new Master flying without any wings showing that he was at least a legendary rank.
"Yun Tian. If you wish to add honorifics then Young Noble would suffice." He said while Duan Yun nodded as they didn't take long to arrive at the Black Dragon Family Territory. They were surprised to see his wife and son but despite being from a different family welcomed the silver Winged woman to their home.
All of them wondered who Yun Tian was but sensed his power was unclear even the black gold could see through his power adding more mystery to his present. Before long Yun Tian met up with the Patriarch.
"Greetings, my name is Duan Longfei. We welcome Young Noble to our Black Dragon Family." He spoke with sincerity rather than trying to curry favor with him as they offered him for some drink but he respectfully refused.
"I'll be blunt, one of the thirteen families I can see that your Black Dragon is reasonable and fair therefore I want to know if you are willing to follow me outside this realm where there is more food and better conditions than this place."
Yun Tian's words shook, asking if it was true and when he confirmed it didn't give it a second thought and accepted explaining how his status doesn't matter and only wanted a better life for his family. He showed the space of [ Godly Grimoire ] asking if it was possible for their family to become his private army and exchange would become the strongest force.
Duan Longfej was dumbfounded, unaware that the other family didn't have the same offer and was only staying in Glory city of glory instead. Yun Tian would have brought his in-laws but they rather defend their homeland and protect the rich history surrounding them.
He believed that in the future during his travel would eventually have children and didn't want them to live in isolation without having friends their own age. Even if they have siblings it would still be better when they have friends to experience growing up.
They accepted his offer feeling his bloodline telling him to follow Yun Tian who contains a bloodline that was a God for them. He gave them a few days to prepare and discuss with his clansmen receiving a nod from Duan Longfei while Yun Tian left and giving some transmission talisman to contact him when they were ready.
He went to his [ Godly Grimoire ] to find the former slave settling in and when the people saw Irene and Yoruichi bow down announcing that he was the emperor and ruler of the place surprising everyone but immediately show their gratitude bowing down while Yun Tian didn't mind it telling them if they need anything simply tell him. Hearing their new ruler was grateful and promised to serve him to the best of their ability.
Yun Tian went to check on the slave and listen to the report of Yoruichi and Irene learning what they did seeing over hundred of silver winged clansmen having their cultivation sealed. He was indifferent bearing no hatred but disappointed seeing their soul had been tainted by too much evil. Yun Tian didn't shed pity and let them be slaves until they realized what they've done and accepted their punishment. Only then would they be free.
He was not that cruel and gave them the chance but only if they truly had a change of heart is up to them. Yun Tian was more interested in looking at a young woman around 3 years older than him containing pure thunderbird bloodline. She looked at him rather captivated by his delicate and handsome features unaware it is nothing but disguise sealing his true form where only those he loves can see, similar to a mask or a veil.
"What's your name?" Yun Tian asks, seeing that she wasn't that evil and only misguided by someone. She started to have had a change of heart upon experiencing the things her family had done.
"My name is Sikong Hongyue." She said it was a bit strained since she was being forced to speak while Yun Tian glanced at Irene as if asking for an answer.
"I thought she would be a great Maid and bed warmer, Master." Irene happily said.
"....why would I need a bed warmer when I have you and my Fiance?" Yun Tian still doesn't know why they were adamant on increasing the number of women in his harem. Were they serious about building an Harem army?
"Fufufu don't think too hard, Master! We have long years ahead of us and this is the perfect punishment for her." Irene said unbothered, giving her master more woman when he deserved more. Yun Tian shook his head and looked at Sikong Hongyue.
"Fine, you go and study how to be a maid."
Moments later, Sikong Hongyue was taken away to study how to become a proper maid unaware what's to come while Yun Tian sent his woman to another Family offering them to leave and letting them prepare for a few days. In the meantime, Yun Tian tried exploring more of the Abyss Prison Realm until he sensed someone and arrived facing a mysterious old man.
"How can a Martial Ancestor exist in this realm? Who are you?" Yun Tian sensed his power was close to a. Deity rank yet hasn't broken through for a reason. He stared at him trying to peer through to his cultivation and surprise him when he was unable to.
"I can say the same thing to you, boy?" The Mysterious old man asked.
"I am merely a boy who wishes to see the wonders of this world." Yun Tian simply said looking at the mysterious old man who tried to peer through him trying to see if he was lying or not.
"Very well, let me ask, are you one of Emperor Kong Ming's successors?" He asks, showing some killing intent and Yun Tian raises an eyebrow.
"I am not nor do I wish to be. Even if he is strong and powerful, I do not seem to be his successor as I have a master that I wish to succeed." Yun Tian answered where the Old Man fell silent and intently staring at him while deeply thinking.
"If that is true then we have no quarrel." The Mysterious old man finished before vanishing as Yun Tian didn't care who he was and let him be.
Time passes and Black Dragon Family offer themselves to Yun Tian and vow to serve his family upon sensing their bloodline resonating with him. They were shocked to find their new home would give them profound powers and better lives for their family. None of them regretted serving someone stronger and powerful, especially someone who can be considered their gods.
As for the rest of the family in Abyss Prison Realm were brought to Glory City and with the help of Father in law was able to establish their family to their homeland giving them some territory in exchange for some of their treasure contributions and establish some laws letting them settle. They were willing to give up their status if it meant their people could have better lives but fortunately Ye Zong was generous and gave them noble status and increased the power of Glory City even more than before.
Every family from the Abyss Prison Realm was shocked to learn that there was a large number of peak Legend Rank that if there were anyone planning on conspiring would be swiftly dealt with. Not that anyone would think to consider the place as basically a paradise having reliable livestock and farming.
After his adventure spend most of his time with his woman and Sikong Hongyue watches from afar, accepting her role as a maid upon seeing the power of her new master. She was unable to see through his cultivation but having the entire dimension and a woman that could topple her family with ease gave her a clear answer of how powerful he is.
Though spending time and working with them never felt discrimination and was treated fairly enough that he was the luckiest among her family and could even visit her father but he was imprisoned for his crimes. Her father had lost his mind and been disregarding her as the mental and physical punishment was too much for a mortal man like him. She pitied her father and still tried her best to remain by his side.
Sikong Hongyue once asked Yun Tian why isn't she being punished like her people and being treated quite well by everyone even if she was just a maid. He simply told her that Irene admired her love for her father and family that he respected and made her a maid instead.
She blushed when Yun Tian mentioned that they also wanted more women to be by his side and serve him. Sikong Hongyue rethink her life and how it was heading how it was only matter of time until her family would have face a calamity and that meeting Yun Tian was better as he had been fair even for slave feeding them and giving necessary things but in the end they are slave without freedom until they were humbled and understand what they had done. The people were surprised to learn his age and explain he disguise himself as an adult to be taken seriously.
At the moment, Yun Tian had become 12 years old like Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun while Huyan Lanruo became 17 years old where they became more radiant and beautiful that they were worshiped as goddess by their peers while Yun Tian was god among men upon having women like them by his side. They all reach Peak Heavenly Fate Realm that are hundred times stronger than people with the same realm.
Yang Xin's skill in alchemy surpasses everyone that she is the only one who holds the title Grandmaster of Alchemy but she was more well known for her profound beauty expanded by Yun Tian influence from the constant training. The son of Duan Jian worked hard vowing to become Yun Tian blade in the sense that he would be his right hand man. Yun Tian was happy that he found a good friend and accepted him as someone who will be the leader of a squad of guards.
Yun Tian had been in Glory City for too long and decided to explore more places using the memory that he acquired from Ye Ziyun having remembered a place that had human settlement. He didn't visit the place considering his not planning on letting his Father in law work too hard in organizing and helping the Abyss Prison People settle to their new homes.
He flew into the sky heading to a place called The Heavenly Fate Plateau. It was located at the peak of a mountain range where the entire mountain peak looked like it had been shaved off by a sword, revealing a large plain. There was only a mountain road leading to the distant peak. There were thousands of people gathered there, forming a tribe.
Due to the high terrain of the Heavenly Fate Plateau, there was only one path up and down the mountain. Even demonic beasts would find it difficult to reach there, so it was relatively safe. However, food was extremely scarce there, and thousands of people could barely survive.
Below the Heavenly Fate Plateau was an extremely terrifying danger zone, the Black Spring.
It was unknown where the Black Spring flowed from in the St. Ancestral Mountains. It flowed all the way down into the bottomless abyss. The surroundings were filled with Demon Beasts, and most of them were existences of Black Gold rank and above. Legend has it that in that bottomless abyss, there is a group of extremely powerful Legend rank demon beasts.
If it wasn't for the natural moat obstructing them, the Heavenly Fate Tribe on the Heavenly Fate Plateau would absolutely be unable to survive.
When the morning sun shone down on the Heavenly Fate Plateau, Yun Tian, who was wearing a short robe, appeared in the Heavenly Fate Plateau's market.
The market was bustling and noisy, and there were people with tattered clothes coming and going. Compared to them, Yun Tian's clothes were much cleaner and tidier.
"I wonder which noble family's young master that young master is. Why didn't I see him at the clan meeting?" A few people in the market were discussing.
The Heavenly Fate Plateau hasn't had any outsiders coming in for hundreds of years, so they didn't think too much about it.
Yun Tian's gaze turned sharp looking somewhere after sensing a few things about the place that caught his attention. He decided to check it once he helped the people knowing it would be dangerous to fight them when they are people in the place. Yun Tian walked forward with ease, and stopped in front of a congee shop.
