Everyone looked at Xue Wei as if he was a freak. Some even started questioning whether or not he was a real Sovereign Beast.

Perhaps he had learned a skill that allowed him to pretend to be a Sovereign Beast?

Xue Wei quickly guessed their thoughts, and without further ado, scales started sprouting on his body, within a moment, a massive Azure Dragon was present in the middle of the training field.

Fortunately, beasts were capable of shrinking their sizes down, or otherwise,; there would have been no space for Xue Wei.

"He is a real Azure Dragon!" It was unknown who the first person to call out was, but everyone else gasped when they realized that it was indeed so. Although he was only nineteen, he could cultivate. Although he was a Sovereign Beast, he mastered human techniques.

The more they heard about this Xue Wei, the more they thought he was shrouded in mystery.

Xue Wei had intentionally said these things. When they entered the Ascended's Realm, everyone would get to know that he could use human techniques.

And his age was truly too young. Although beasts aged immensely slowly, and these forty-year-old geniuses and princes looked twenty, the truth was that Xue Wei was different from them.

Although he had the blood of the Azure Dragon in his veins and he could be considered an azure dragon, he was also hadving human blood flowing inside.

"Could you perhaps tell us how you managed this?" The Emperor asked with bated breath. If he could make his Vermilion Bird Clan cultivate from a younger age, and if they could use human techniques, then their already overwhelming strength would be even more overbearing.

"Sorry," Xue Wei shook his head dejectedly. "I wish I could help you, but it seems to be a mutation of my bloodline."

The Emperor had already guessed this, but he still held a slight hope. He still nodded his head, and under his breath, he muttered, "as expected of her son."

Xue Wei heard him say something, but as to what it was, he did not grasp it. Shaking his head slightly, he returned to give feedback to the many cultivators who were eager to be guided by him.

Like this, a few hours passed, and it was not before the Emperor called out that the banquet had ended that the experts stopped asking questions of Xue Wei.

Even when it had ended, they were all looking like lost dogs as they observed Xue Wei. He was a treasure trove and clearly the one who was able to support them when they entered the Ascended's Realm.

The First Prince's eyes shone coldly for a moment before he once again had a gentle smile on his face, not even the slightest sign of dissatisfaction or hostility on his expression.

"Sir Xue, it was our honor to have you here," he said as he spoke to Xue Wei for the first time. "We can learn a lot from sparring with you. We believe that with your help, our strength will be growing to new heights."

Xue Wei smiled slightly when he heard this, but he neither agreed nor disagreed.

It was the Emperor who came to his help. "Xue Wei needs to prepare for the Ascended's Realm," he said gently. "He does not have too much spare time, but if there is any, he can always come looking for you."

Hearing that the Emperor was this defensive over him, the First Prince was shocked, but he did not show anything in his expression. Instead, he just nodded his head.

"Of course, it is important for Sir Xue to prepare for the Ascended's Realm. If he finds that he has any spare time, then he can always come and find us."

After saying what he had to say, the First Prince turned around and started leaving. The banquet was over, so the geniuses and princes vanished one after another.

At this time, Xue Wei also got ready to leave together with his friends.

He had managed to make all the experts think he was mysterious, but more than that, he had managed to get rid of some subjects that could bring to become troublesome later if not handled well.

Xue Wei then found his friends, and together they started walking back to the room that had been prepared for them.

The rest of the night was uneventful as they cultivated. But while they were calm and cultivating, gossip spread like wildfire in the entire capital.

The Emperor had not ordered a lockdown on the information gotten at the banquet, so it spread fast. The following day, everyone knew of all the strange things that Xue Wei could do.

They also knew that he was an Azure Dragon, and while the Azure Dragon was supposed to be weaker when compared tothan the Vermilion Bird, it turned out that because of all the miracles that centered around Xue Wei, he was not at a disadvantage when dealing with Vermilion Birds.

Xue Wei was unaware of the fact that he had turned into a celebrity overnight, but even if he had known, he would just chuckle and leave it at that.

The following morning, Xue Wei stopped cultivating and stretched his body. He could feel the energy roaring inside of his body, the heaven and earth essence here in the Demon Phoenix Continent was much richermore than any other place he had ever experienced.

It was like training was yielding double the gains of how it had been back in Chang'an.

As Xue Wei finished freshening up, he gathered with his friends in the sitting room.

"We should go out and purchase some things," Xue Wei said with a smile on his face. "Although we have many resources, and many incredibly rare resources, some of them are not usable yet, others are lacking."

Xue Wei was going to make an immense amount of pills. He knew that they were likely to get seriously injured in the Ascended's Realm, so he had to get everything ready before then.

He also needed to stock up on inscriptions and formations again since he had used a sizeable amount back on the Thunder Graveyard Island.

Xue Wei knew that to survive in such an environment as the Ascended's Realm,; one had to be prepared for anything.

If it was just the environment they had to look out for, then he did not need to care too much. However, the Emperor had said that entrances to the realm would appear on other continents as well.

Many human cultivators were likely to enter the realm, one had to be beneath fifty to enter, but a human expert had the advantage of cultivating earlier than beasts, so a human genius of fifty had an advantage against a beast cultivator of forty.

These humans were also hard to kill, and they felt no reverence towards a sovereign beast. In fact, they saw them as immense treasures of resources.

So the biggest danger they would encounter in the Ascended's realm did not come from the environment; it came from others who were entering the realm alongside them.

Leaving the chambers, they found that an entire entourage was waiting or them outside.

The leader was a soldier, but not just any soldier, it was a general of the Vermilion Bird Army, an expert of the Earth Saint rank.

"Sir Xue, we have been given the honorable task of keeping yourself and your friends safe during the time before the Ascended's Realm opens."

Tthe General said thoughtfully as he looked at Xue Wei with hidden curiosity in his eyes.

Even he, as a General, had heard all the rumors about this being in front of him.

The General was also a Vermilion Bird, and he was a full hundred and twenty-seven years old.

He could not enter the Ascended Realm, but his son was one of the geniuses who were entering, so he hoped to forge a relationship with Xue Wei and have him protecting his son.

"We are honored to be protected by an esteemed Earth Saint," Xue Wei said smilingly, and the General had a favorable impression of him. "It is my honor," he said with a slight bow.

"We are going to town to purchase some ingredients for pills and inscriptions," Xue Wei said after contemplating for a bit. "We also want to see if there is an auction house with interesting items."

"There is an auction house," the General answered right away. "The Auction house is having a monthly auction in three days from now."

Xue Wei nodded his head. "Let us head there and put a few things up for sale," he said as he looked around, and his lips could not help but twitch slightly.

"Are we bringing a whole regiment with us?" he asked, and the general looked at the many soldiers who were standing outside the room, and even he felt it was a bit over the top.

"How many would you like to bring?" he asked, and Xue Wei shook his head dejectedly. "Do we need to bring anyone else other than you?" he answered the question with a question of his own.

"I guess it is fine," the General said after contemplating for a bit. Although the soldiers had benefits in numbers, he was an esteemed Earth Saint. He should be able to protect them.

Having decided not to bring the soldiers, many of the soldiers had depressed expressions on their faces.

They too, knew about Xue Wei and his abilities and wished to hear about him. They wanted to get closer to him.

But they all understood the value of an order. They were soldiers, so they would never go against an order. They had been told to wait here, so they would wait for him to return.

Sensing that they would not follow them, Xue Wei exited the palace with his friends and the General in tow.

There was a carriage waiting for them, but Xue Wei shook his head when he looked at it. "We'll walk," he said and began walking down towards the city that was spread out beneath the palace itself.

Everyone who looked at them could guess Xue Wei's identity, and many were discussing amongst themselves. He was indeed the subject of the capital.

Xue Wei strolled down the street and observed the things that were up for sale. He entered different shops and bought a few materials here and there.

The General was not sure about how many essence stones that Xue Wei had, but after seeing how he casually took out essence stones time and time again, he realized that this person was much richer than he had expected.

Xue Wei's background was unknown. He came from some continent far away that they knew almost nothing about.

Even so, he had not come from this continent, also as a nineteen-year-old, he had come from Yan Dalu and had been to now three continents. This was already exceptional. Usually, there were only a handful of people who could leave their continents, and when they did, they only went for one other continent, not two.

Xue Wei was utterly ignoring the curiosity everyone was showing him, and he continued to buy things, filling storage treasure after storage treasure.

They continued moving further down towards the center of town where a big building was located.

Even without asking anything, Xue Wei knew that this building was the auction house.

He could also guess that this auction house not only dealt with auctions but also sold items in everyday life.

Walking towards it, Xue Wei had decided to sell some of the items he had in hand. Some one-colored Rainbow Pills and some materials would be able to bring in some essence stones he could use to buy new materials needed for two-colored Rainbow Pills.

As they arrived, the guards who were outside the gates looked at Xue Wei's group with curiosity, but no one stepped forward to stop them. As long as no one made drama, they would not take action.

Even so, Xue Wei could feel that they, normal guards of this auction house, were all Earth Saints.
