He said, "The Central Continent's Ice River City is the city that every scientist yearns for the most. I've lived in the Cang Lang Continent with my mentor for more than thirty years and have been yearning for the Ice River City for a long time. Unfortunately, even until we went to the Holy Spirit Continent, we never went to the Ice River City."

Looking at the distant starry sky, Ji Linyuan continued, "I've been to the interstellar city twice. One time, I returned to the Holy Spirit Continent with my mentor and needed to change spaceships in the interstellar city. The other time was with you. The scientific genius who designed and built the interstellar city is like a god to me. I really hope that one day, I can enter the interstellar city to work."

Just think about it, how wonderful would it be to be able to see the boundless galaxy whenever we open our eyes?

However, when he thought of his situation, Ji Linyuan felt a little dejected. "Unfortunately, I'm already old, so I'm afraid I won't live for much longer." Ji Linyuan, who had become a commoner, was almost 60 years old. He had aged very quickly during this period of time.

Perhaps, after he lived for another ten to twenty years, he would die.

All his dreams were empty talk.

Mo Xiao felt pity when he saw Ji Linyuan's disappointed expression.

"If you really want to work in the interstellar city, I can get someone to pull strings and send you to interstellar city…" Just as Mo Xiao finished speaking, he saw Ji Linyuan's gray eyes brighten.

His eyes were filled with hope.

Seeing this, Mo Xiao couldn't bear to dampen his spirits.

However, he still had to give him a reality check. "Lin Yuan, you're old now, so you don't have time to start all over again. Even if I can send you to the interstellar city, according to your resume and abilities, it's unrealistic for you to become a scientist. The best-case scenario is that I can find you a small management position. The worst case… is that you can only serve tea or sweep the floor."

Ji Linyuan waved his hand indifferently and said, "As long as I can go to the interstellar city and see the galaxy every day, I'm willing to serve tea to those scientists."

Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect Ji Linyuan to be so open-minded. "Alright, I'll bring you to the aviation bureau tomorrow."

"Thank you, Grand State Master."

As he spoke, Mo Xiao acutely sensed that the bloodline power lingering around Ji Linyuan had disappeared. He lowered his eyes and said, "Ah Huang has left."

Hearing this, Ji Linyuan looked into the deep sky and sincerely wished, "I hope she and the others can achieve success in the Cang Lang Continent."

​ …

Time passed second by second. In the blink of an eye, it was already two in the afternoon.

Prime Emperor Linfeng sat there elegantly with his legs crossed, like a duke from ancient Europe.

Seeing that Yu Huang didn't open her eyes even after a long time, he gradually couldn't sit still anymore. The patience in his eyes finally disappeared bit by bit.

At that moment, Sheng Xiao heard footsteps outside the corridor. It was the sound of the other participants rushing to look at the list. He looked up at Yu Huang. Seeing that Yu Huang had not woken up, he gave Donor a look.

Donor walked out with Yin Rong and the others.

Sheng Xiao said to them in a low voice, "Go and see the preliminary results. Yu Huang and I won't go."

Donor glanced at Prime Emperor Linfeng and noticed that there was already impatience on his face. Without saying anything, he left the room with Yin Rong, Estelle, and the others.

Now, only Sheng Xiao, Yu Huang, and Prime Emperor Linfeng were left in the room.

With nothing to do, Prime Emperor Linfeng stared at Sheng Xiao and sized him up.

When Sheng Xiao and the others were doing the beast form test in the morning, Prime Emperor Linfeng had been observing in the dark.

Almost every time the Selection Competition was held, the various large clans would send people to hide in the dark and observe the situation of the participants. If they saw talented itinerant cultivators, they had to recruit them before they fully matured. This was also their way of increasing the strength of their clans.

Prime Emperor Linfeng saw Sheng Xiao and the others' performance on the stage.

Prime Emperor Linfeng thought highly of the seven of them, especially Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang, who had awakened Black Qing Sky Dragon and Divine Feather Phoenix beast forms.

He wanted to rope the seven of them into the Vermillion Bird Clan. This was the second reason Prime Emperor Linfeng took the initiative to come today.

With the intention of roping him in, Prime Emperor Linfeng smiled and said, "I heard from Elder Chengwen that you and your friends have awakened powerful beast forms. You even awakened the extinct Black Qing Sky Dragon Beast form. How shocking."

Then, Prime Emperor Linfeng changed the topic and extended an offer to Sheng Xiao, "I wonder if you and your friends are interested in joining a cultivation clan?" Prime Emperor Linfeng smiled proudly and said, "Although the Vermillion Bird Clan is not as powerful as East God Palace, we are one of the top factions in the Central Continent. The Vermillion Bird Clan has a deep relationship with Yu Huang, so I wonder if you and your friends are willing to join the Vermillion Bird Clan and join forces with us?"

Sheng Xiao wasn't surprised.

He looked up at Prime Emperor Linfeng to say something, but hesitated.

Seeing that, Prime Emperor Linfeng thought that Sheng Xiao wanted to negotiate with him. Before Sheng Xiao could say anything, Prime Emperor Linfeng said generously, "If you guys are willing to join the Vermillion Bird Clan, you guys will be treated better than ordinary guest elders. I can even make an exception and let the seven of you enter the Vermillion Bird Clan's genealogy and enjoy the same benefits and treatment as the clansmen."

Prime Emperor Linfeng felt that his conditions were tempting enough.

After all, a group of ascenders from a low-level small world could join the Vermillion Bird Clan and enjoy the same privileges as the people of the Vermillion Bird Clan. This was something that other people begged for.

Prime Emperor Linfeng didn't think that Sheng Xiao would reject such a tempting offer.

But…

Sheng Xiao smiled and said apologetically, "Thank you for your compliment, but the seven of us have joined another sect already."

The smile on Prime Emperor Linfeng's face instantly disappeared.

"Oh really?" Prime Emperor Linfeng's pale face flushed, but it wasn't because he was embarrassed, but because he was angry.

Prime Emperor Linfeng couldn't help but ask, "May I ask which faction is so tempting to be able to obtain your recognition so quickly? I'm very curious." Clearly, Prime Emperor Linfeng had only been paying attention to their beast forms and didn't notice that the seven of them belonged to a sect already.

"It's nothing worth boasting about." Sheng Xiao lowered his eyes and said calmly, "It's not a powerful faction. It's just a small sect that's so small that it's unworthy of your attention."
