"Feng Yuxiang. I am a Divine Beast that carries the bloodline of a phoenix." Feng Yuxiang gave a brief introduction about herself.
"The rest of you should introduce yourself as well." Yuan looked at the others.
"Lan Yingying. I am a Divine Beast as well— a Divine Serpent."
Dong Ye, who already knew that Feng Yuxiang and Lan Yingying were Divine Beasts, nodded his head. While they can hide their ident.i.ty from cultivators around their level, Dong Ye was an Immortal who has existed for millions of years. It was simply impossible to fool someone like him.
"A Phoenix and a Serpent, huh? It sure brings back memories." Dong Ye couldn"t help but break out a smile on his face when he recalled the Immortal Monarch and his Divine Beast followers.
"The Immortal Monarch?" Yuan asked out of curiosity.
He nodded, "Do you remember?"
"No, but I am aware of his existence."
"His Divine Beasts were always fighting with each other over his attention." Dong Ye chuckled, "It caused the Mast— Young Master plenty of headaches. However, they were all reliable and loyal, which sort of balances things out."
Yuan suddenly remembered something and said, "Speaking of the Immortal Monarch… Do you know how to upgrade his bloodline? What about the Heaven Refining Physique?"

"The answers you seek are within the Nameless Emperor"s Tomb."
"The Name Emperor"s Tomb… Did I build it?" Yuan then asked.
Dong Ye smiled and said, "You will find out once you go inside."
Seeing how Dong Ye won"t give him any direct answers, Yuan decided to give up and to wait to enter the Name Emperor"s Tomb.
Dong Ye suddenly s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Xiao Hua, whose tiny body instinctively trembled.
"An exile, huh? The Young Master called you Xiao Hua, so you must be from the Asura Family. Do you believe in fate?" He asked while staring at her intensively.
Xiao Hua silently nodded.
"Then do you believe someone— a mere human can control fate?"
Xiao Hua raised an eyebrow and said, "n.o.body can control fate."
"What if someone has such ability?"
"That"s impossible. No human can have such an ability."
Dong Ye smiled and s.h.i.+fted his gaze back to Yuan.
"Believe it or not, someone out there has the ability to control fate, and he"s standing in this room as we speak."
Xiao Hua and the others turned to look at Yuan, who was quite confused.
"You may not realize it, but you"re subconsciously controlling fate."
"The Young Master is subconsciously controlling fate? How does that even work?" Feng Yuxiang asked.
Dong Ye shrugged, "Even I do not know the answer to this question."
"This is partially why the Young Master ordered me to not a.s.sist him too much, as it could affect his fate."
Yuan looked at his own hands.
"I"m controlling fate? Am I really doing such a thing?" He couldn"t believe it.
Manipulating fate sounded very complicated, so it seemed very unlikely for him to subconsciously control it.
"What do you know about Xiao Hua"s family?" Xiao Hua suddenly asked Dong Ye.
"I know a lot about the Asura Family. And believe it or not, but I also know a lot about you, Xiao Hua."
Xiao Hua frowned. "How? Xiao Hua was born in the Primordial Realm. n.o.body can enter or leave this place without the Celestial Emperor"s approval or the Ancient Seals."
"Sorry, but I cannot tell you." Dong Ye shook his head.
"Why not?"
"Because you"re directly related to the Young Master, which means I will spoil him if I answer your question."
"Brother Yuan…?" Xiao Hua turned to look at Yuan with a look of wonder in her eyes.
"Anyways, if you have any more questions that aren"t related to the Young Master"s past, feel free to ask me. If you have any requests, I am also willing to hear it."
Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking, "The Nameless Emperor"s Tomb will open very soon. Do you plan on going inside with us?"
"No, I will be staying out here to mess with the Celestial Emperor"s lackeys and throw them off your track."
Yuan nodded, and he said, "Then if you don"t mind, can you watch over my friends while I am inside the Nameless Emperor"s Tomb? I don"t know how long I will be staying inside, nor can I bring them to such a dangerous place with me. They"re extremely valuable to me. I want you to protect them as though they"re me."
Dong Ye nodded, "No matter who you want me to protect, I will protect them with my life."
Yuan proceeded to tell Dong Ye about Meixiu and the others who were training at the Cultivators" Haven.
"They are likely to spend all of their time cultivating inside the Cultivators" Haven, but better safe than sorry."
"Rest a.s.sured, Young Master. As long as I am breathing, no harm will come to your friends. Even if I am not constantly by their side, I can cover this entire world with my divine sense, so I will know immediately the moment they"re in any danger no matter where I am."
"Covering this entire world with your divine sense? I have been wondering about this for a while now, but what is your cultivation?" Yuan asked out of curiosity.
"This humble one is only at the 7th level of G.o.d Ascension realm."
"G.o.d Ascension…?" Yuan mumbled in a dazed voice.
"If one"s ascension towards G.o.dhood succeeds, they will become a Cultivation G.o.d, which has been the peak of the Cultivation World since ancient times."
"You"re not that far away from the peak of cultivation, yet you sound disappointed." Yuan couldn"t understand this part.
"Because I know my limits, Young Master. As much as I hate to admit it, I don"t have enough talent to become a Cultivation G.o.d. That is a truth that I must accept. You, on the other hand, have not only succeeded in becoming a Cultivation G.o.d multiple times in your past lives, I have a good feeling that you"ll break through that limit and achieve something unprecedented in our world." Dong Ye spoke as he gazed upon Yuan with a confident glint in his eyes.
