Lord of Fate (Chapter Nine)

On a small path outside Dantai Xuanjie... \“Brother Xuanyan, where are we going?” Ouyang Mixue asked Xuanyan. \“Well... yeah! Where should we go?” It turned out Xuanyan hadn't decided where to go yet! \“Young master, the head of the family wants you to participate in the clan duel during your training. However, the family duel can only be joined at the Lingzun level. For the young master, it's better to first find a place to improve your strength,” Wei Shang reminded Xuanyan as always. \The clan duel is a competition among the peak families of the Xuanyuan world! Of course, there are also some first-class families, but those families usually play a supporting role to highlight the power of the peak families! \“Then Brother Wei Shang, you decide!” Xuanyan irresponsibly passed the problem to Wei Shang again. \“With the young master's current strength, you are by no means weak in the outside world. Now, the young master can choose to go to an academy for further training, but with your strength, the academy won't provide much of a challenge. Another option is for the young master to take over a territory, and then deal with attacks from various powers. Your subordinate believes the young master should choose the latter,” Wei Shang, who had taken care of Xuanyan since childhood, now arranged everything meticulously for him. \“Hmm, go to an academy? No, with my strength, I could probably become their dean directly. Then Brother Wei Shang, you make the arrangements!” Xuanyan said arrogantly. \“Your subordinate believes the young master can go to the Star Realm, and once your strength reaches the Lingzun level, participate in the family duel!” \The Star Realm is a place without governance, said to have formed as a small world within the body of the Fallen Star Emperor! The authenticity of this legend is unknown, but a thousand years ago the Star Emperor was indeed the strongest in Xuanyuan, the First Spirit Emperor! (A planted plot point) The Star Realm isn't stronger than other small worlds; in fact, it's even weaker! But the Star Realm is a place with chaotic strength, ranging from weak spirit cultivators or even ordinary people, to strong ones like Spirit Emperors and Lingzuns! Therefore, Xuanyan would need to establish a faction in the Star Realm, face various strong opponents, grow stronger through battles, and improve his management skills while controlling his faction, in order to qualify as the head of the Dantai family! \“Hmm, what do you think, Senior Qian Nian?” Xuanyan turned to Qian Nian. \“All is at the young master's discretion,” was his only response! Qian Nian had always been like this, seemingly unconcerned about everything!"Alright, then let's go to the Astral Realm, Dragon Language." From the spatial rift, Dragon Language flew out!

Astral Realm
"Young Master, this is Fantian City. In the Astral Realm, its strength is at a mid-level tier. The city lord, Fanyi, possesses the peak strength of a Spiritual Master. Recently, he offended Cixian City. The lord of Cixian City is already at the early stage of Spirit Transformation. What should be noted is that Fanyi is around 18 or 19 years old. For someone of that age to achieve such strength, his talent is also remarkable. I suggest, Young Master, before exposing your true strength, you make use of him and claim that he is the city lord." Wei Shang once again acted as Xuan Yan's butler.
"Hmm, hasn't he offended Cixian City? Then let's help him get through this ordeal and see if he's willing to give up his power!" At this moment, Xuan Yan displayed the demeanor of a ruler. This was neither wisdom nor strength, but something every person in power must possess! Having spent a long time in the Dantai family and under the long-term guidance of Dantai Mie Ming, Xuan Yan naturally developed this temperament! Every gesture radiated the aura of an emperor!
