Where is this?

Shuji was currently sitting cross-legged in an unknown location. The place was a large cave with seemingly no exits. On the inside, it looked like a large paradise however with trees and a small lake within. Behind him sat three pods hooked up to some sort a machine. On the far left of it was also an unknown body covered with some cloth that seemed out of the way. The center pod of the machine was empty but had some pipes connecting to the other two that were filled with some sort of solution within the other two pods. He had recently bought these but the current use of them was still unknown.

The 8 months were over and the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament would begin soon. Earlier he had sent a clone to inform Cang Yue that he would be participating.Cang Yue was very happy to see him and he had the clone stay a few days, however she was soon disappointed that he was leaving so quickly. Shuji looked at his CP and smiled…

"It's enough… System buy me…"

"Why do you want to come to Heavenly Sword Villa?" Chu Yueli asked Chu Yuechan coldly. Chu Yuechan was staring at her with an extremely cold expression before speaking. "Sister, I simply wish to see the young geniuses of this age." she said simply.

"Sister… You can fool others with that but you can't fool me…" replied Chu Yueli.

"Hmph… Then don't ask stupid questions." Chu Yuechan said before walking away. Chu Yuelie frowned at the sight of her sister walking away. Ever since she had returned she had been acting extremely strange. Sometimes she experiences this mealcholic mood as if she has lost something important or just remembering happy memories.

Chu Yuechan entered her room and lay on her bed. She took a robe from behind her bed and held it. It was a long black robe with red clouds. She took it before he flew away but she did not know why she felt the need to. Every night she slept with it in hopes that she would wake up and he would be there. Their wasn't a night she didn't cry before going to bed recently. She still remembered the happy memories she had with him.

She still didn't understand what she was trying to say to him but after having a long time to think about she felt it must be something important. She could tell he really didn't want to leave but he was keeping her away for some reason. He almost looked as if he was guilty of something but she didn't care. She would forgive him for whatever it was as long as they could be together.

"Will I see him at the tournament?" she thought sadly. "I… miss him…" she thought while remembering that peaceful night filled with moonlight and the graceful dancing of the Sakura petals. Her eyes slowly closed before she drift off into sleep.

***************************************************

Xia Qingyue was very happy recently because she had the feeling she would meet Itachi soon. It had been at least a year since they had seen each other and Xia Qingyue had a lot of time to think. Xia Qingyue smiled softly when thinking about the time they spent and the bracelet she still wore. It had red beads with 3 black tomoe like beads in the front.

She had practiced diligently in the Frozen Cloud Arts because Itachi had cleared her profound entrances and cold energy. She still remembered her surprise when her master announced that all of her entrances were open. She immediately knew that it was Itachi's doing. She was truely grateful and wanted to thank him.

She was also quite confident in her abilities and thought that she had a great chance to win this tournament. She couldn't wait any longer to meet him, for the good their was also worries. She realized that looking back on it Itachi seemed to be hiding something and felt incredibly guilty about it. She still thought that him leaving was more of him running away from something than what he told her. She didn't know what made him feel this way but she would accept him as long as it was nothing major.

"After all…" she thought to herself. "I still need to show you my face… you are the one i've chosen…" she thought with a huge blush on her face. She stood up and joined the other sect members that were ready to leave. Today was the day they headed to Heavenly Sword Villa.

*************************************

Cang Yue looked at the group and sighed… There was only Xia Yuanba and Qing Wushang with her. The only participant that they had was Itachi. She was still shocked by his last visit… He came out of nowhere and defeated all of the palaces geniuses claiming that he would be the only fighter for the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament. He went even further than this by healing the emperor and clearing the plot behind the scenes!

He had done all of this in only 3 days! Than after this he disappeared saying that he would come to Heavenly Sword Villa by his own means and that they didn't need to wait for him. He asked her to take Xia Yuanba with her and although she didn't understand why she conceded.

She was after all very thankful to Itachi for everything he did for the empire. She still blushed when she remembered the advice of her father about marriage to him. He was calm and said he would love to but the choice should be hers.

This made her heart warm but she didn't have enough courage to accept right then. She also noticed that there was some guilt in his eyes for whatever reason it was. She felt that if she had accepted at that moment things wouldn't have gone well for them. She was however happy that her father treated him like his own son. He had a very good impression of him and was cheering her on.

With this Cang Yue, Xia Yuanba, and Qin Wushang left towards the Heavenly Sword Villa.

*************************

The Blue Wind Empire had 4 major sects that dominated the Empire. The Xiao sect located in the south. The Burning Heaven clan who was also located in the south. Frozen Cloud Asgard which was located at the northern end of the Empire. This sect was the most unique as it only allowed females. They were all extremely beautiful woman and their strength was currently second within the empire.

The last was the Heavenly Sword Villa and was considered the Empires strongest sect. It was even said that Heavenly Sword Villa was stronger than the other three sects united. Located within the Heavenly Cloud Mountain there were two people were currently standing guard. The Heavenly Cloud Mountain range is located on the border of the Empire and is a large villa of 25km. This villa was also the place where the tournament would take place. The two Heavenly Sword Disples where standing guard when to welcome and guide the representatives of the upcoming sects. They heard an eagle and when they looked up they saw an eagle land in front of them.

"Welcome to the Heavenly Sword Villa. May I ask for your invitation?" the guard said respectfully towards the sect master of the Burning Heaven Clan. The sect master handed over his invitation and was guided towards the direction of the tournament. The guard went back to guarding and after several small sects came one by one, four big members arrived. It was the Xiao Sect and they had 7 members with them.

From the Xiao Sect was several elders, students, and the Sect Master. They gave their invitation and entered the Mountain Gate. The next group of people was the Blue Wind Palace. There was surprise and confusion of the guards.

"Sorry but Heavenly Sword Villa does not allow any uninvited guests to participate in the tournament." the guard said to them thinking that they were foreigners. The other guard looked and Cang Yue and recognized her as the Princess of the Empire.

"Princess Cang Yue, sorry for this musundarstanding. May I ask for your invitation." The other guard was a little surprised but didn't apologized. Cang Yue who saw this just smiled and gave the invitation. "Cang Yue, Xia Yuanba, Qin Wushang, and Itachi Uchiha." The guard said while becoming a little confused at the last name. It was pretty strange but was stranger was that their was only three people in front of him and not four.

"The last person Itachi Uchiha will come alone later." Cang Yue explained to the guard. The guard nodded before showing them the way to the tournament. In front of the mountain gate the appearance of a group of five immediately attracted attention from everyone around them. The five were all woman and breathtakingly beautiful. They all wore long gauze gowns that almost touched the ground and covered their feet. They had long dresses that where a light shade of blue that was close to white. They had small ice flakes floating around them which created a mystical aura. They all seemed to be wearing veil hiding their face but one could still see their beauty.

There was one young girl in the back that seemed to only be sixteen or seventeen as well. The others were all around twenty but with the veils they could not see anything other than their eyes. The other women all had nothing covering their faces and were all very beautiful. They were disguised however with a deep cold expression. It made people unconsciously shiver seeing it.

On their right side was a group of sects who also walked towards the mountain gate but stopped at the gate when they saw the ignorance in front of them. They walked close and watched as the Heavenly Sword disciple who was guarding the front gate froze for five seconds before he finally bit his tongue with difficulty. Only after focusing with all his might and regaining his mind could he calm his heart with difficulty. His head however no longer dared to look directly at them. After taking a step he spoke with difficulty.

"I…I assume that the five honorable guests are Frozen Cloud Asgard fairies? Ple…please provide an invitation letter and a list of names." he asked but hoped he could slap himself at that moment. Welcoming guests was a serious affair that affects the Heavenly Sword Villa's face, which was why he who was an important student was chosen. He was not disturbed at the change of expression even when facting the Master-ranked sects like the Xiao Sect and Burning Heaven Clan, but facing the beauties from Frozen Cloud Asgard he still froze up a bit.

He was just a normal man! It wasn't his fault that they were so beautiful! They should have prepared him for something like this! Even though he hadn't seen the invitation letter from Frozen Cloud Asgard he knew it was them. Only they could act like this. The ice Aura surrounding them was also great evidence.

The tournament also held strict rules for unexpected situations. For each participating sect, they could only have a total number of 7 students and escort personal. The four main sects were not exception to this rule. This situation where there are fewer than seven people from the sects would never appear… Except for Frozen Cloud Asgard! It was very rare for them to be willing to contact the outside world and they often did not always bring 7. This time only 5 people came from Frozen Cloud Asgard and this surprised no one. The beauty handed her invitation with the list of names and waited for their conformation.

Seeing the invitation he carefulyl extended his hand and pinched the corner of the invitation letter and list of names. With his gaze sweeping the invitation letter and list of names he hastily bowed his head and thanked them. He than hastily showed them the way to avoid his heart beating any faster. He could no longer take it and wanted them gone before he ruined his face again. However as they walked away he realized one of the names that was on the list. It was Chu Yuechan!

"Senior Brother Haiya… Was that the rumored Chu Yuechan?!" one guard asked.

"Yes!" the student named Haiya nodded. "Chu Yueli, Chu Yuechan, Shui Wushuang, Wu Xuexin, Xia Qingyue… that was indeed Chu Yuechan's name… She actually personally came." he said.

"Should I tell the sect leader? It is known that he loved her like a fool in the past…" said the Heavenly Sword student.

"Idiot! You know this a taboo thing for the Mistress! The sect leader is currently welcoming guests with his wife. Don't speak of this again." Haiya said. Chu Yuechan's reputation was enormous in the Blue Wind Empire because she was known as the most beautiful woman in the Empire. In the past the sect master had tried to court her but failed but it is said that he was still hopelessly in love with her….

*****************************

Ling Yuefeng who was more than fifty years old was currently sitting with his wife. He still only looked thirty years old however due to being in the Emperor Profound Realm. When reaching the Emperor Realm a person's lifespan would increase by four to five hundred years. For Ling Yuefeng, the age of fity was only the beginning of his youth. He had a crown on his head and looked elegant with his dignified temperament and appearance. His hands looked nothin like someone who had weilded a sword but these people knew otherwise. He would greet his guests personally and would keep a friendly smile on his face. He didn't have the arrogance one would expect from the sect master of the number one sect in the Blue Wind Empire. Some young students who saw them expressed their admiration that was close to obsession.

Standing next to him was a woman who was around thirty years old wearing a beautiful dress with a flower pattern. She was the only wife Ling Yuefang and was named Xuanyuan Yufeng. She was also the biological mother of Ling Yun and Ling Jie. Her temperament was elegant and as beautiful as her appearance. Even though this appearance was a farcry to Chu Yuechan she still was like a goddes to most people. To make someone like Ling Yuefang who was infatuated with Chu Yuechan take her as his wife was not because of her appearance but because of her family's background… After several decades of their marriage however there was nobody who dared to ask about her background. No one decided to investigate either because just the surname Xuanyuan made a deep fear emerge in people's heart. This was because it was a family name froma certain Holy Ground Master which was located in the Heaven Continent. Suddenly a voice was announced.

"Chu Yueli from Frozen Cloud Asgard has brought Senior Sister Chu Yuechan, Shui Wushuang, Wu Xuexin, and Xia Qingyue to visit Heavenly Sword Villa. We also send our Lady's greeting on her behalf to Villa Master Ling and Villa Mistress Ling." said Chu Yueli facing Ling Yuefeng and Xuanyun Yufeng. Behind her was her guests who were slightly bowing towards them.

Ling Yuefeng was already in a terrible state of mind because he saw Chu Yuechan. Even though Chu Yuechan wore a snowy veil he could still tell it was her. It had been thirty-one year since they last met but he still recognized her in one glance. The only problem is he dared not make the assumption it was he until he heard Chu Yueli say it was.

Not one person would think the famous sect master would still desire her but he did. Even though he had a wife and children he still couldn't get her out of his mind. He was stunned for a couple seconds before he regained his composure and spoke.

"Welcome to the Heavenly Sword Villa! It has been a long time since I last saw the sect mistress of the Frozen Cloud Asgard. Is she still in good health?" he asked.

"Thank you for the concern Villa Master Ling but the Madame is fine." Chu Yueli answered

Chu Yuechan was looking around for someone but they did not find them. Unknown to to her Xia Qingyue was thinking the same thing and looking for the same person!

"Oh so this is the Number One Beauty in the empire? Would you mind removing your veil to show me?" Xuanyuan Yufeng asked with a sweet smile that was not quite so sweet. Chu Yuechan snorted coldly and ignored her. Ling Yuefeng was ready to apologize to his wife when he felt something in the sky. They all looked one by one to see something in the sky line. In the clouds flying was what seemed to be a red blur. The person was moving incredibly fast but for trained eyes they could tell that he had red fleshy like wings coming out of his back.

They had seen skills like this before but nothing quite like it. It seemed as if it was alive and was moving. Thiristing for the blood of its enemies. This was not all because they could feel that the figure's profound strength was incredible. Everyone focused on the figure as he finally slowly descended to the ground. The descent was fast enough however to make a small dust cloud.

"Could it be…" thought Chu Yuechan and Xia Qingyue. After 5 minutes he had walked out the dust cloud that had formed.

He wore a black robe with red clouds on it and a bamboo hat that jingled with every step he took. He had black sandals and a mesh shirt undernether his robe. On the inside of his robe was a katana that seemed so sharp that it could cut you by looking at it. He had several chains on his fingers on one hand and on the other he had a large bottle. The most intriguing things was his eyes which were red and had three black tomoe spinning rapidly. People where truly shocked at this seen.

Suddenly Itachi let loose his Haoshoku Haki as he walked. They all heard the sound of the bells jingling and the sound of the chains rattling. He had an incredible aura of a conquer and not many dared to look at him. Everyone fell silent and stared at him. Young girls near him looked at him with admiration and turned red.

Chu Yuechan and Xia Qingyue's eyes widened however recognizing who it was.

"He's here!" they both thought as they all felt his pressure. It was extraordinary and frightening. The man stopped and took to large gulps from his bottle before he looked at them with a face of confusion.

"Am I at the Heavenly Sword Villa?" he asked with question marks above his head. Nobody even knew how to respond but he took another sip without caring. He looked at everyone before speaking with a cheerful smile.

"Sorry for being late… Itachi Uchiha from Blue Wind Palace is here.." he said. It was only the first day and he had already gained an unreasonable amount of CP.
