Chapter 495 - 495 | Exchange Of Information (I)
'I need to be in the North Battlefield once the battle commences.'
This was necessary for Ye Tian Yun to get hold of his next target.
"Master, would you like to know anything else?" The young woman asked.
Ye Tian Yun thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any signs of King Xin sending the young generation of the capital city into war?"
The woman frowned and shook her head, "There have been no such developments."
"Oh.." Ye Tian Yun then asked, "I heard rumors of the Royal Bloodline Trial. What do you know about that?"
The woman replied with a smile, "The Royal Bloodline Trial is a Trial for the Xin Royal Clan descendants to strengthen their bloodlines and increase their cultivation potential."
"Each Generation of the Xin Royal Clan takes part in this trial, however, this trial is only limited to the Female Cultivators within the generation."
"In this generation, however, there is only one princess. Therefore there won't be any internal conflicts in the Xin Royal Clan."
"However, there is a condition for the princess to take part in this trial - she must choose a male cultivator partner for herself."
"These two will then go and take the trial together. If they succeed, both of their cultivation potentials will increase by a lot, and both of them will be proclaimed as the Dragons and Phoenix of this generation."
"The partner is actually not chosen by the princess. However, there is a martial competition at the end of the Grand Spirit Hunt."
"The winner of this competition received the title of 'Young Dragon' and became the partner of the Princess for the Trial."
"Historically, it has been noted that the Dragon usually ends up marrying Lady Phoenix, this princess."
"The martial event doesn't happen in every Grand Spirit Hunt (which takes place every five years). This year's event is more hyped due to the martial event, because the 'Young Dragon', if he doesn't die young, usually becomes one of the top cultivators in the whole Lower Heavens."
"However, winning the competition is not enough. The princess has the right to reject the 'Young Dragon'."
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "So she can make the result of Grand Spirit Hunt invalid?"
The woman shook her head, "Not invalid, but the one she chooses must defeat the current 'Young Dragon' in one year."
"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun scratched his chin.
The information that the young woman in front of him had just given wasn't new for Ye Tian Yun.
The report he had gotten from his informants also mentioned everything about this, but he had already learned his lesson and would not believe everything he read from the report blindly.
And the Nightcrawler Surveillance Network is the best place to verify such information.
In the future, there will be a saying which goes - truth doesn't become truth unless the Nightcrawler says it's the truth.
The Royal Bloodline Trial was important for Ye Tian Yun.
Once he was done with the current target, he would then go after the princess.
The princess of Xin Kingdom, Xin Xiaoqing, is one of Wang Yao's future wives.
However, this was not the reason why Ye Tian Yun had his eyes on her.
Rather, she would become one of the Token Holders in the future.
And the Token she was going to receive was very important for Ye Tian Yun.
The Token would appear in the Royal Bloodline Trial.
Thus, making it important for Ye Tian Yun to become the Young Dragon in the future.
In his previous life, the one who became a dragon was Fang Yunru.
However, Princess Xin Xiaoqing, who had already fallen for Wang Yao, rejected him as the Dragon and replaced him with Wang Yao.
This led Wang Yao, who was in the Qi Condensation Realm, to become enemies with the whole Fang Clan.
One year later, after overcoming many challenges, Wang Yao would behead Fang Yunru on the stage in front of the whole Kingdom.
From then on, the Xin Royal Clan will become Wang Yao's allies, which will turn the Fang Clan against them.
However, Fang Chen would enter the scene and destroy the Fang Clan as revenge for using him to kill his father, Su Ming.
As for the princess and Wang Yao, they will go through the Royal Bloodline Trial, and there they will get a Token.
Wang Yao, who already had the Emblem Of Time, wouldn't take the Token and 'gift' it to Xin Xiaoqing.
'I wonder what would have happened if Wang Yao didn't have the Emblem Of Time?'
Ye Tian Yun's lips curved upwards upon thinking about those scenarios.
'Well, the future won't go this way now.'
'Xin Xiaoqing met Wang Yao for the first time two months before the Grand Spirit Hunt.'
'However, some things happened during that event which became the main reasons why she fell for Wang Yao.'
'Right now, she just knows Wang Yao as an acquaintance, so there's still hope.'
Ye Tian Yun couldn't afford to waste one year waiting for Wang Yao.
This was why just winning the tournament was not enough. He had to do anything for Xin Xiaoqing to not fall for Wang Yao.
'I will make that lass fall for me.'
However, this was not going to be easy.
Ye Tian Yun raised his head and glanced at the woman in front of him who had been silent all along not to disturb Ye Tian Yun's thought, "Tell me about Xin Xiaoqing."
The young woman replied, "Xin Xiaoqing is the third princess of the Xin Kingdom, and she is known for her cold and aloof nature. She's also a cultivation genius and is a part of the Void Ice Sect. Due to her affinity with Ice and sword talent, it is almost certain she will one day succeed in comprehending the Ice Domain Sword Domain."
"As for her social life, the princess is known for being the target of courtship from many young cultivators."
"The closest who could ever get to her are the 'Three Swords of Xin.'
