C1508 The Day of the Ocean Selection
chapter 1508. - Occupation Day
Zi Mansion, within the glorious Hall.
cottonwood deputy general was high up in the sky. He glanced at Zi Yan and Zi Yaner below him and said coldly: "You said that Master Silent has made his move today?"
"Ancestor, it is indeed Master Silent." Immortal Emperor Zi Yan said respectfully.
"Can you feel his current realm?" Cortex Corydalis asked.
Immortal Emperor Zi Yan shook his head: "I don't know. Because Miss is here, I didn't fight with her. However, I blocked a sword attack for her. It was at least at Intermediate Immortal Emperor's level. It might be even higher."
"Old thing, you have been hiding for fifty years. Now you have jumped out again?"
"Ancestor, should we send someone to keep an eye on Master Silent?" Zi Yan pondered for a moment and continued, "After all, he was hailed as the legend of cultivation back then. Once he recovers..."
"There's no need. He's just a cripple left behind from the previous era. Let him do whatever he wants first, what kind of waves can he create? But the auditions are coming soon. This matter concerns whether I can take another step forward. Don't provoke him for now. We'll talk about it after everything is over." The deputy general of the purple pupil finished speaking. A cold light flashed across his old eyes, "You dare to attack Yan'Er? You really don't put me in your eyes. Since that was the case, this so-called legendary name... It should be erased. "
Immortal Emperor Zi Yan nodded: "Yes!"
" By the way, do you have any news about Qing Yan? " cottonwood deputy general asked. Compared to Master Silent, he paid more attention to Qing Yan. This was an order given by the Divine General's Mansion.
"No. Recently, the people of the Zi Mansion have been searching the entire city. However, since the last battle with the Asura Platform, Qing Yan seemed to have vanished into thin air. He has never fought again." Zi Yan said bitterly. They initially thought that Qing Yan would be very easy to find because of his reputation. However, they realized that it wasn't him at all. It seemed like this person didn't care about fame and fortune at all.
"Continue searching. Put this matter at the top of the list. In addition, announce the matter of the Divine General's Mansion recruiting him, and add some rewards. Let's see if he will pay a visit himself." cottonwood deputy general said.
"Yes!" Immortal Emperor Zi Yan nodded and retreated.

Snow Mansion.
After a few days, Chu Yan came up with one thing.
Master Silent was truly shameless.
Before, Chu Yan only said that if Master Silent had time, he could come to the Snow Mansion more often and he would give him some pointers. Unexpectedly, the next day, Master Silent had the servant bring the shop and all his belongings into the Snow Mansion.
The most hateful thing was that according to what Master Silent said, he did this for the sake of Chu Yan. He said that the Zi Mansion would likely continue to seek revenge if Chu Yan provoked the Zi Mansion last time. Therefore, he had no choice but to lower himself to guard the Snow Mansion in order to protect Chu Yan.
Chu Yan smiled bitterly at this. He couldn't be bothered with it, but he still kept his promise. Every day, apart from daily cultivation, he would guide Master Silent in his cultivation.
After a few days, Chu Yan found out that Master Silent's body was not only injured, it was also aging.
After reaching the Immortal Emperor realm, one should have an unlimited lifespan. Without any accidents, one should be an immortal existence. They would not age. However, Master Silent was different. In the past fifty years, his bodily functions had been getting worse and worse. This was also the reason why his cultivation base hadn't improved, and had instead fallen.
"He's very lucky." At this moment, the Evil sword sent a sound transmission. "That great calamity must have destroyed his fleshly body's life force. The only reason he's still alive is because he's using up his Essence. However, his life force won't be born again. Once it's used up, he'll die."
Chu Yan nodded. He understood that Master Silent was like a pool of stagnant water. Without any new power to replenish him, he could only consume his original power. However, when it ran out, the lake would dry up, and that would be the day of Master Silent's death.
"I think he knows this as well. That's why he has been living in seclusion all these years, and hasn't fought with anyone. Right now, he only needs to maintain his life force. The remaining energy in his body can still hold on for a period of time, but once he fights with others, he will consume too much energy. If he doesn't replenish his energy, he will be exhausted after a few rounds." Chu Yan said.
When he thought of this, he pondered for a moment. He did not intend to use the Holy blood to help Master Silent recover. Firstly, the baptism of the Holy blood would have a huge impact. With Master Silent's current condition, he might not be able to withstand it. Secondly, he didn't want to expose himself yet.
Very quickly, he took out a bamboo slip. With a slight thought, he carved symbols onto it.
If it was cultivation, he might not be able to do it. However, as a king, his fleshly body was comparable to an Immortal King in terms of body refinement, and he grasped every single inch of power within his body perfectly. So even without the Holy blood, he still had a way to help Master Silent recover, but it would only be slightly slower.
The next day, Chu Yan went to find Master Silent and handed him a bamboo slip. "Senior, follow the instructions written on it and cultivate. Apart from that, there are also some herbs for refining weapons here. Senior can send someone to buy them, crush them, and bathe them once every three days. They should be able to recover in a year's time."
Master Silent opened the bamboo slip and scanned it with his Divine Sense. Immediately, his heart started beating rapidly.
The cultivation method written on the bamboo slip and the medicinal bath seemed simple, but it was actually very exquisite. Even he was shocked by it.
At this moment, Master Silent even felt a faint life force being born in his body with just a glance. This gave him a new kind of hope.
"It has been fifty years. I can finally recover."
Fifty years. Not a day had passed. Master Silent was as happy as he was today.
"Little friend is indeed extraordinary." Master Silent said excitedly. Chu Yan smiled and waved his hand. "It was nothing."
"How should I repay little friend?" Master Silent wasn't stupid. This was the grace of rebirth, and it was above everything else. It could be said that if he recovered, it would mean that his life would be given to him by Chu Yan.
"There's no need for that. The matter of the Xue Family is to repay me. Next, Senior can rest in peace and recover from his injuries." Chu Yan mused for a moment and suddenly said, "If Senior is willing, he will recover in the future. I hope that he can help take care of the Snow Mansion."
After the audition, he would leave. At that time, the Zi Mansion would vent its anger on him, and he would not be able to find him. The Snow Mansion would definitely suffer an undeserved calamity, and this was not something Chu Yan wanted to see.
With Master Silent around, the Snow Mansion might not be able to restore its former glory, but at least, it would not be difficult for it to survive safely.
"Alright, from today onwards, the Snow Mansion will be my home." Master Silent smiled and said. At this moment, Xue Bailian walked over with the lunch feast. When she heard this, her delicate body trembled and the wine cup fell to the ground.
"Little girl, my family was destroyed in my early years. Besides a housekeeper, I have no other family members. Are you willing to accept me as Grandpa?" Master Silent said.
"White Lotus, are you not going to agree?" Chu Yan smiled. Xue Bailian's eyes were slightly red and there was an indescribable gratitude in them. "I am willing."
"Haha, good. I have no descendants in my life. In my later years, I have a precious granddaughter. It is a happy occasion. A happy occasion." Master Silent laughed loudly, but Xue Bailian looked over at Chu Yan. She understood that all of this was happening. From now on, the Snow Mansion would have an Immortal Emperor. She would no longer be looked down upon by others.
"Young Master Chu..."
"White Lotus, I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Mr Chu." Chu Yan smiled and Xue Bailian nodded vigorously. From today onwards, she had Eldest Brother. There was also Grandpa who smiled happily.

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
On this day, the Zifeng City was bustling with noise and excitement. All the guards in the city had set up a level one defense, and in the middle of the city, a huge battle platform had been built in the past half a year. It was incomparably magnificent, and it was precisely used for the audition.
Early in the morning, countless people had gathered here. The three families of Zifeng City, Zi Mansion, yang Residence, and Guo Family had all arrived. Apart from them, there were also Expert and Scattered Cultivator.
The audition was a part of the palace's examination, and it was an opportunity for countless people to rise in power. No one would want to miss it.
The Snow Mansion had also arrived. Master Silent's presence had surprised countless people.
"That's the legendary cultivation legend of the past, Master Silent?" In the Yang Family, yang Ling-er looked at Master Silent and asked. She had heard about Zi Yaner almost dying in the battle of the Snow Mansion a few months ago.
"En, it is said that she has already completely moved into the Snow Mansion." One of the stewards of the Yang Family said.
"Do you know why?" Yang Ling-er said softly, but the Yang family's butler shook his head, "I don't know. I only heard that it has something to do with the youth from the lower realm who was abandoned by the Zi Mansion."
"Oh?" Yang Ling Er's beautiful eyes flickered. She looked in the direction of the Zi Mansion and smiled. "Today is going to be interesting. Given Zi Yaner's personality, I'm afraid she won't let him off."
The Zi Mansion. Zi Yaner also saw Chu Yan. Her beautiful eyes no longer had the warmth of the past. Her eyes were filled with cold lights. "Chu Yan, I've said it before. You will definitely regret it!"
Glancing at Zi Yaner, Chu Yan sighed and shook his head. He originally did not have that much hostility towards Zi Yaner. Even if he abandoned her, he had never cared about her. However, the things that happened after made him extremely disappointed. Compared to Xue Bailian, he was extremely disappointed. She was unruly and willful. She was self-righteous and never considered others. He naturally wouldn't care about this kind of woman.
Huo Ying looked at Chu Yan. Recently, many people had been comparing Chu Yan to him, and this made him scoff at them.
Originally, he was invincible in the First Immortal Realm. However, a Qing Yan had been born recently and replaced him. Therefore, in his eyes, the Zifeng City was worthy of being his opponent. There was only one person, Qing Yan. As for Chu Yan, that was Qing Yan. Although they both had the word 'rock', it was still not worth mentioning.
"Lower Realm Heaven people are really interesting." In Guo family, king Guo also looked at Chu Yan. A butler beside him said in a low voice. "Young master, this kid has a deep grudge with the Zi Mansion. If we can kill him, we might be able to use this as a chance to establish a relationship with the Zi Mansion."2
"Mm." King Guo nodded slightly, and began to weigh the situation in his heart.
It was not just Guo Wang alone. Chu Yan had just arrived below the stage when he felt a lot of strange gazes. Xue Bailian, who was beside him, was slightly nervous and said in a low voice: "Currently, the Zi Mansion is the sole ruler of the family. These people, we have offended the Zi Mansion. They all want to borrow our hands to climb up the Zi Mansion."
"It's fine." Chu Yan smiled calmly and then said to Xue Bailian, "What is the rule of this selection?"
"The general against the general. The assisting general against the assisting general. The winner will be awarded two points. If the assisting general wins, it will be counted as one point. In the end, the ten people with the highest score will be considered to be nominated." Xue Bailian said, but Chu Yan frowned slightly. "Does this mean that even if I win, if you lose, you will still lose?"
Xue Bailian smiled bitterly and nodded, "It's like this, so I never thought that I would win. But even if I don't get nominated, with your points, the Snow Mansion will also get some resources. It's enough."
"Little girl, don't be so depressed. There is another way to participate in the audition other than normal battles." Master Silent smiled casually at the side. Xue Bailian, however, lightly furrowed her blackened eyebrows. "Senior, you mean... the final battle?"
"That's right. Let this kid start a deathmatch for you. One person can defeat all of them and you will win. What a simple matter."
"No." Xue Bailian hurriedly shook her head. "This is too dangerous!"
