Seeing the confused look on both Tan Shengyu and Xue Renxue making them look similar at this moment made everyone couldn’t hold back laughing. It did take awhile before everyone had calmed down and now focused on the two new guests which are now invited to their table. Now the old cultivator and the gorgeous lady in red robes sat the opposite of everyone. The elders were seated on the table while the young couple, Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue, were standing behind their parents.

Tan Shengyu asked, "Who are you and why are you here?"

"I...Mmph!?"

The lady in red robes was about to speak only to be stopped by her master’s glare. As if afraid that this stupid disciple would pissed off the senior before them, he had to use a silencing spell on her.

The old cultivator said, "Please forgive my disciple’s rudeness. I am Wu Zhen, an elder from the Black Clouds Academy and this is my first disciple, Lin Xuemei. We had gone to the outskirts to find some disciples that are fated to join our academy. We test random people for their justice, loyalty and kindness at heart and during this test we bumped into this young couple at the nearby town."

"This old man wanted to invite them to become my disciples. Of course, only if they are willing," said Elder Wu Zhen.

Xue Renxue and Tan Bingyu didn’t seem to have any intention of joining any organization and were about to decline.

Elder Wu Zhen speaks out seeing that they are about to decline and said, "Of course, I heard from the one in that courtyard that you cannot decide as your mistress is not in the state who can speak to you. This I understand. How about you accept my token first? If you have intentions on joining our Black Cloud Academy then just bring my token when you go to the Inner Haven and show this to anyone in the academy. They will bring you to me. Also we come to return your flying ship, thank you for lending it to us. We should get going now."

The master and disciple after bidding their farewell properly to the group had left by flying away. They had explained their stance and can only wait for them at the academy. They need to find more disciples along the way. After the two had left, everyone looked at the token left by Elder Wu Zhen. Tan Shengyu grabs it and checks the token, its white token with a few black clouds on it and a single character Zhen which shows that this is elder Wu Zhen’s personal token. It seems that the elder wanted to take the couple as his direct disciples.

Tan Shengyu said, "Black Cloud Academy? Is it an ordinary school?"

"No. It’s like a sect but it’s called an academy," Elder Tang Yuyi said. She knows about the existence of the Black Cloud Academy. It used to be one of the largest powers in the Inner Haven before the Immortal Star Emperor’s reign.

But after the death of the former Moon Empress and the former Immortal Sun Emperor, the Immortal Star Empire started to occupy all the lands under the Immortal Sun Empire and made it theirs. The clans, sect and other organizations were forced to subjugate those who didn’t agree would either be exterminated or exiled. The Black Cloud Academy declined after their powerful protector was killed. But recently, they suddenly received the backing of the Everlasting Moon Empire and because of this the reputation of the Black Cloud Academy had skyrocketed once again. The Regal Lei Clan heard about this and investigated.

It seems that the reason the Second Moon Prince commanded the support and backing on the Black Cloud Academy was because their younger sister, his eldest niece, had accepted a master’s degree from there. They seem to have met inside the Ancient Ruins and she had given a lot of resources to this master of hers. Because of this connection the Yue Clan had decided to keep the Black Cloud Academy under their wings.

The Thunder King, Lei Yuye said, "It’s better to ask Xue’er what she plans to do next before deciding. After the Black Cloud Academy is under the wing of the Moon Clan. It’s said that the master of Xue’er stays there. So she will go there in the future more or less."

"If that’s so then Bing’er hides this for now. We can ask the Mistress where we should go next when she wakes up," said Tan Shengyu as he passed the token to his daughter.

Then he looked at the Thunder King and asked, "Bro, when are we going to the town? Didn’t you say the mistress stayed in that town on the outskirts?"

The Thunder King glances at the side where Yue Huashui and Yue Huaxue are meditating as for Yue Huajin, he is within the embrace of Xue Shuyi sleeping while digesting the energy they had devoured during the battle. They should have absorbed enough energy to upgrade their realm at least a minor level or a major one if they are lucky enough to digest everything.

Lei Yuye said, "We can leave once the children wake up. You should prepare your farewell. After all, it is unknown when you will be able to reunite with this sect. Seeing how many internal affairs are going on within this sect, it’s better if you leave as soon as possible to avoid getting dragged into it."

Everyone from the Tan Family couldn’t help but turn their head to look at Tang Yuyi. If there is someone in their family who has a deeper connection to this sect, it can only be Grandma Tang Yuyi. This is the sect she used to lead and also the place where she had grown up into. Unfortunately, those from her generation who stayed in this sect most of them are gone. His sister, who is only a soul fragment, chose to join the Moon Star to nurture her weakened soul with her disciples by her side. The elders that took care of them had died while protecting the foundation of the sect. Even though her disciple and adopted son still remains, her presence in this sect would just drag him down.

It’s different from before, she now has a family. A loving husband, a silly son, beautiful daughter-in-law, an intelligent granddaughter and a protective son-in-law. Just as she thought that she had lost her sect and her sister was gone, she gained a lot more. This time she is not willing to leave them.

Tang Yuyi smiled, "Let’s do as the Thunder King said, I will say goodbye to my disciple and we can take our leave once the children have awakened. We can’t let the Mistress look for us anymore and we can just go find her ourselves."

The rest of the Tan family smiled, they were actually worried that their elder would choose to stay in this place, however they couldn’t after all the whole Tan Clan had pledged to follow the Moon Goddess no matter where she goes. They couldn’t leave her alone not just because they are her subordinates but also because they owe her their lives. They wouldn’t have been able to get to the upper realm of the world if not for her. They would have stayed mediocre staying in that small star and might have perished forever if not for Tan Shengyu meeting Yue Xuexia that day.

On the other hand, in the small town on the outskirts.

Another strange phenomenon had taken place. In the sky above the small town, a light purple cocoon flew up from the town and hovered in the sky. The sky turned gloomy and a rain of purple divine lightning continued to strike the cocoon making it glow brightly like a disco ball. Just as everyone thought that the small town would be burned to ashes by this phenomenon, a large crimson sun appeared and a thick veil of red barrier protected the whole town. Someone even said that they had seen the figure of the infamous Immortal Sun Emperor in the sky.

Shen Jueyang stood above the small courtyard protecting the place while watching the changes on the light purple cocoon. Under everyone’s guidance this cocoon floated higher and higher absorbing all the lightning elements in the area. It even flew out of the surface of the Immortal World. Then a strong light of purple glows. Once the cocoon had disappeared, a humongous figure hundred times larger than the immortal world itself had appeared. The appearance of a gorgeous woman with irises full of powerful divine lightning and white hair suddenly can be seen within the whole sky of the whole Immortal World. Regardless of whether they are at the outskirts, Outer Haven, Inner Haven or the Core Haven they saw this woman’s figure. Her hands cupping the Immortal world as if her existence is larger and ancient than any existence in this world.

Those who knew her can immediately recognize that she is the Moon Goddess only her eyes were not silver as they remember by purple as if all lightning in this world resided within those pair of lavender like eyes. This form was actually Yue Xuexia’s form as the Primordial Lightning Goddess. She had now fully inherited the legacy of her Primordial ancestor and taken his place as the new Ancient God of Lightning.
