Chapter 709: Palace Master Gu Yue!

“I have met my seniors.”

Su Yi stepped forward, clasping his fists and bowing in a respectful manner. The old man had a gentle and kind demeanor, and there were no visible fluctuations in his energy. However, with Su Yi’s sharp sense of soul power, he couldn’t help but realize that the old man was far from ordinary. He was undoubtedly a formidable and mysterious figure.

“No need to be polite. Let me introduce myself. Most people call me Gu Yue, and I am the Palace Master of the Yutian Palace in the Central Region. Young brother, could you also introduce yourself, so that this old man may learn more about you?” Palace Master Gu Yue smiled faintly and asked Su Yi.

“I have met Palace Master Gu Yue. I am Yi Su, a young disciple from a small and unknown mountain sect called the Overlord Sect,” Su Yi bowed again. No wonder Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan had been so polite—he had not expected that the esteemed Palace Master of the Yutian Palace branch in the Central Region was the one before him.

“The Overlord Sect may not be so unknown for long. In just a few days, the Overlord Sect could become famous in the Central Region!”

Palace Master Gu Yue looked at Su Yi, examining him carefully. This young man, with such a pure soul, had already created a phenomenon in the world, shaking the Central Region. It wouldn’t be long before his fame spread across the entire region.

“Palace Master Gu Yue, you are too kind. May I ask, what level of soul quality does this young man possess?”

Su Yi asked directly. Palace Master Guan Lan had informed him that Palace Master Gu Yue was aware of his soul quality, and Su Yi himself was quite curious to know.

“The Soul Measuring Yuan Stones in the Central Region can’t assess the quality of your soul. However, based on the fact that your soul’s presence has caused such a phenomenon, it must at least be of Heavenly Grade. To know your exact soul quality, however, we may need to go to the headquarters of Yutian Palace for testing,” said Palace Master Gu Yue with a serious expression. His eyes held an air of awe. No one in the Central Region had ever detected a soul of such caliber before.

“Heavenly level!”

Su Yi’s lips curled into a faint smile. Though he wasn’t fully clear on the specific meaning of the Heavenly Grade level, judging by the tests of Li Qingwei and Gong Qianxing, a true Heavenly Grade soul seemed to be an exceptional one.

“If you have the time, you can come with me to the headquarters of Yutian Palace. I believe we can determine the true quality of Yi Su’s soul there,” said Palace Master Gu Yue as he looked at Su Yi.

“Is the headquarters of Yutian Palace also located in the Central Region?” Su Yi asked. If they could confirm the exact quality of his soul, it might be worth the trip.

“The headquarters of Yutian Palace is not in the Central Region,” explained Palace Master Gu Yue. “To get there from here, we would have to pass through two spatial portals, which would take about two days.”

“That’s quite far…”

Su Yi frowned. The distance was a bit long. His purpose for coming to the Central Region was to participate in the Saint Martial Assembly.

“I can visit the Yutian Palace headquarters anytime. As a representative of Yutian Palace, I warmly invite my little brother Yi Su to come and have his soul checked at our headquarters.”

Elder Gu Yue seemed to understand Su Yi’s thoughts and smiled slightly. “The Saint Martial Assembly is approaching. You should focus on preparing for the assembly. With your strength, you will surely make a name for yourself. This old man is also looking forward to it and can’t wait for your name to echo throughout the Central Region!”

“The Saint Martial Assembly… um.”

Su Yi secretly smiled bitterly. He suddenly remembered that he had not yet registered for the Saint Martial Assembly. The City Master of the Central Region was searching for him everywhere, so whether he could even participate in the event was still uncertain. That’s why he came to Yutian Palace for the check-up.

“There is one more matter I need your understanding for, young friend.”

Palace Master Gu Yue looked at Su Yi with a faintly regretful smile.

“Please, Palace Master Gu Yue, go ahead,” Su Yi inquired politely.

Palace Master Gu Yue said, “Young friend, the spiritual quality of your soul is at least Heavenly Grade. However, within the Yutian Palace branches in the Central Region, there is no emblem for a Heavenly Grade soul. It seems you will need to make a trip to the Yutian Palace headquarters to have your soul quality retested. That will also be a good opportunity for you.”

“No emblem…”

Su Yi couldn’t help but smile bitterly. He had hoped that with the reputation of Yutian Palace, he could participate in the Saint Martial Assembly. But now it seemed that there was no emblem for him in the Yutian Palace’s Central Region branch.

“Brother, don’t worry. Although Yutian Palace doesn’t have a Heavenly Grade soul emblem, your achievements will be recorded. To prove your identity, they will give you a semi-Heavenly Grade emblem for souls. With this emblem, you will enjoy the same privileges and resources as a Heavenly Grade Soul Tamer within Yutian Palace.”

As Palace Master Gu Yue finished speaking, a shining emblem of Yutian Palace appeared in his hand. It gleamed with a radiant golden color and had a triangular shape. He said, “Although Yutian Palace doesn’t yet have a Heavenly Grade soul emblem, your record will remain unchanged. You will need to bind it with your blood to imprint your soul. With this emblem, you will have access to many benefits.”

“Thank you, Palace Master Gu Yue.” Su Yi was already quite happy to receive an emblem in place of the original. With the reputation of Yutian Palace, he could now confidently participate in the Saint Martial Assembly without worrying about trouble from others in the Central Region.

“Let’s begin,” smiled Palace Master Gu Yue. “I will engrave the emblem for you, young brother.”

Su Yi nodded. Having witnessed Li Qingwei, Gong Qianxing, Liu Xiaohu, and others engrave their emblems, he found the process quite simple—similar to the identity emblem he had engraved back at the Divine Sword School.

By pledging allegiance with a drop of blood, spiritual power was imprinted into his mind. With Palace Master Gu Yue’s personal engraving, Su Yi obtained his Emblem of Yutian Palace.

As the emblem was engraved, Su Yi couldn’t help but feel a subtle, invisible connection forming between himself and the emblem.

Su Yi examined the emblem carefully, noting that it was identical to the one Li Qingwei had from the Qingyun Sect, with no differences whatsoever.

Palace Master Gu Yue gazed at Su Yi, his eyes flickering. “I wonder if young brother is interested in joining Yutian Palace?”

“With this Yutian Palace detection emblem, doesn’t that mean we’re considered part of Yutian Palace?”

Su Yi smiled slightly and gently tucked the Yutian Palace emblem into his chest, never placing it on his shoulder. Based on the results of Li Qingwei and Gong Qianxing’s tests, this emblem would certainly attract attention if revealed to outsiders. It was better to keep it discreet. His visit to Yutian Palace was solely to ensure smooth participation in the Saint Martial Assembly.

“I meant truly joining—not simply passing Yutian Palace’s test, but becoming an actual member of Yutian Palace.”

Palace Master Gu Yue smiled gently and spoke to Su Yi.

“The real joining?”

Su Yi was moved, and he understood the meaning behind Palace Master Gu Yue’s words. No wonder Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan had brought him here alone. It turned out Yutian Palace wanted him to truly join.

“That’s right. Truly joining Yutian Palace will open many doors, granting access to its core resources, which could far exceed what you can imagine.”
