How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

After learning that he had a fiancée in the main world, Chen Yu began contemplating breaking off the engagement.

He knew nothing about this "fiancée" and couldn't accept her.

"Who is the woman?"

Chen Yu asked.

How could he break off the engagement without knowing who it was?

"The daughter of Lin Yutian, the Lin Family Patriarch, Lin Yuxuan."

Qingyun Emperor replied.

Lin Yutian! Lin Yuxuan!

These two names surprised Chen Yu. He had researched the Lin Family and knew some details.

Lin Yutian was the head of the Lin Family, leading the demigod family with immense authority.

And Lin Yuxuan was even more remarkable.

This woman possessed the "Spiritual Body" aptitude, being the Lin Family's first genius in a thousand years, and a current prodigy of the Human Race, with countless suitors.

Chen Yu had heard others discussing Lin Yuxuan several times in the area of the Five Families.

"Are you joking with me?"

Chen Yu felt the engagement was somewhat unreal.

To think that the daughter of a prodigy among the main world's human race was his fiancée?

"How could matters of marriage be taken lightly?"

Qingyun Emperor's face was serious.

After confirming, Chen Yu pondered once more.

The esteemed Lin Family, as a demigod family, would they allow him to marry Lin Yuxuan, and also marry other women?

Moreover, Lin Yuxuan was too outstanding, with countless suitors, and probably had no interest in Chen Yu, a sentiment evident from the previous attitude of the Lin Family.

Logically, since he was Lin Yuxuan's fiancé, once they found him, they should bring him back, to get in touch, and discuss the significant matter of marriage.

But the Lin Family's people gave Chen Yu the feeling that they were eager to settle the favor and distance themselves.

Since others weren't interested, Chen Yu saw no need to cling desperately.

"If you don't like it, just let it go."

"Originally, if it weren't for 'Lin Yutian' begging me, claiming his daughter could even be your concubine, would I have been so rash as to decide your marriage?"

Qingyun Emperor looked into the distance with deep black eyes.

Chen Yu was dumbfounded after hearing this.

How had he not realized Qingyun Emperor had the tendency to exaggerate?

Lin Yutian begging? Letting his daughter be a concubine? How was that possible.

But Chen Yu didn't argue, instead smiling and saying, "In that case, please help me end the engagement."

"I'm not in a position to."

Qingyun Emperor's reason left Chen Yu without rebuttal.

He was punished to guard this place for a thousand years, unable to leave due to any circumstance.

"You don't need to worry about the engagement now; currently, you are one of the eight Great Commanders of the City Lord Mansion, with decent benefits. You just broke through; first, consolidate your cultivation."

Qingyun Emperor continued.

Chen Yu didn't care about the commander position at the City Lord Mansion, nor did he intend to stay long.

But not taking the commander position would lead Nie Hua to target him unless Qingyun Emperor publicly announced their father-son relationship.

However, doing so would cause Qingyun Emperor's crimes to affect Chen Yu, bringing him more trouble.

Nie Hua could also use this as an opportunity to indirectly harm him.

Understanding Qingyun Emperor's intent, Chen Yu didn't ask further.

Leaving Qingyun Emperor's residence, he went to the General Mansion and met Black Bone King once more.

"What are you here for?"

Black Bone King had no pleasant expression for Chen Yu, wishing for his early demise.

Because of Chen Yu, he lost face and became the target of Nie Hua's anger, still gravely injured and unable to recover soon.

"The commander position requires a general's authorization; doesn't Black Bone King plan to inform him?"

Chen Yu asked with a smile.

Black Bone King was immediately choked; seeing Chen Yu, his anger flared, and he momentarily forgot about it.

Chen Yu was about to become one of the eight commanders, a higher position than himself.

"Wait a moment!"

Black Bone King left immediately.

After a while, he returned to Chen Yu, handing over a set of armor and a token.

"The general said he's too busy to hold the 'appointment ceremony' and will make it up to you later when he has time."

Black Bone King said expressionlessly.

Traditionally, a commander position, high in rank and power, required an official ceremony to be granted.

How could Nie Hua bestow such honor upon Chen Yu, when he wished nothing more than to rush out and kill him now?

Chen Yu didn't care, taking his things and leaving swiftly.

He held no interest in the commander position.

In the study.

Nie Hua had a gloomy expression.

His close kin had just died; he had no mood for a promotion ceremony, especially when the main figure was the enemy who had killed his child.

"This kid's relationship with Qingyun Emperor is not shallow; he's hard to deal with."

Nie Hua was a bit disturbed.

If he was too obvious, it might anger Qingyun Emperor.

Yet, doing nothing, he couldn't swallow the anger.

...

Arriving at his new residence, Chen Yu had nothing else to do, so he entered a closed cultivation.

He had reached the Early-stage Condensed Star Realm Peak; although it was a natural progression, it happened somewhat hurriedly, requiring time and effort to consolidate his cultivation, to avoid leaving hidden dangers that would hinder future advancement.

The medicinal effects of the Star Rainbow Purple Essence Grass and the Heavenly Essence Flower hadn't been fully absorbed yet.

Chen Yu once again stimulated the medicinal effects, utilizing the "Nine Revolutions Bright Star Technique," consuming Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, refining the Primordial Power Star, to consolidate his recent breakthrough.

As he stabilized his cultivation, Chen Yu also began to open his Star Acupoints.

The breakthrough in his cultivation had improved the quality of his primordial power, slightly reducing the difficulty of opening Star Acupoints.

He had excellent talent in Body Refinement, which must not be wasted, especially with the "Four Symbols Divine Body" being so powerful.

After ten days.

Chen Yu had opened up six Star Acupoints, greatly strengthening his Star Aspect Body.

On this day.

Outside the Chen Yu Mansion, a man in blue armor appeared: "Commander Chen, General Nie has arranged a task for you."

Chen Yu, who was opening his Star Acupoint, opened his eyes.

"Got it, you may leave."

Chen Yu remarked indifferently.

The task arranged by Nie Hua surely had ill intentions, and Chen Yu did not plan to carry it out.

Besides, he never intended to stay here forever.

"Yes."

The man in blue armor outside was rather speechless, thinking that this new commander was quite pretentious, not even meeting him, and just directly asking him to leave.

Moreover, Chen Yu did not even inquire about the task, was he planning to defy General Nie?

The man in blue armor left the military order behind and turned to leave.

"Ah, it's time to leave. Once I join the Eight Great Empire Sects, I'll have the chance to return here when there's time."

Chen Yu sighed.

The recruitment of disciples by the Eight Great Empire Sects was just over a month away.

With his impending departure, he had no concern for Nie Hua's task.

He ended his seclusion and went to the residence of Qingyun Emperor, informing him of his purpose.

"Enter the Eight Great Empire Sects?"

Qingyun Emperor pondered for a moment.

"The reason you obtained a spot in the Eight Great Empire Sects is thanks to the help of the Lin family."

Chen Yu added a sentence.

Anyway, the Lin family indeed provided him considerable help.

"With just over a month left until the recruitment of disciples by the Eight Great Empire Sects, you can only enter 'Xie Luo Prison' near the Chaotic Sea Plain."

Qingyun Emperor stated calmly.

Chen Yu nodded; this was his only choice left.

"Xie Luo Prison is a major sect of Human Race evil demons, and the 'Nine Revolutions Bright Star Technique' you practice, along with the Body Refinement techniques, are unsuitable for entering this sect."

"It might be better to wait a bit more."

Qingyun Emperor analyzed and suggested.

Chen Yu also knew that Xie Luo Prison wasn't the best choice, but it was still one of the eight main Human Race Empire Sects of the main world, far superior to a Four-star Force in the Great Yu Realm.

It may not be the best, but it's not bad either.

"Wait a bit more?"

Chen Yu was puzzled by the meaning of these three words.

The Eight Great Empire Sects only recruit disciples once every ten years, so did it mean he had to wait ten years?

"The Eight Great Empire Sects are good, but just so-so."

Qingyun Emperor said.

Chen Yu's lips twitched, thinking that Qingyun Emperor had started boasting again.

Among the Human Race territories, there were many Four-star sects, among which the top eight were collectively called the Eight Great Empire Sects, some even reaching the late Xuanming Realm, or even Demigod.

A single Empire Sect was enough to sweep the Great Yu Realm.

Yet Qingyun Emperor actually said, the Eight Great Empire Sects were just so-so.

"Do you have the confidence to enter the 'Three Great God Sects'?"

Qingyun Emperor watched Chen Yu with a faint smile.

"Three Great God Sects!"

Chen Yu had only heard of them a few times and did not know much about them.

After all, the Three Great God Sects were too far distant for ordinary cultivators.

They were the top Holy Lands of cultivation on the Human Race lands, with Divine Realm Great Power overseeing, surpassing all others.

"Five years later is the time for the Human Race's 'Three Great God Sects' to recruit disciples. You have the spot to enter the Eight Great Empire Sects, which is equivalent to having the qualification to take part in the God Sect's assessment."

Qingyun Emperor introduced.

The qualification to enter an Empire Sect was equivalent to the qualification to take part in the God Sect's assessment.

This was not secret information, just that for the Five Great Families, having family juniors able to enter the Eight Great Empire Sects was already a blessing.

If they abandoned the chance to enter the Eight Great Empire Sects to participate in the God Sect assessment, with a pass rate of less than twenty percent, if all failed, it would mean all the spots would be wasted.

The Five Great Families found every spot extremely precious, not to be casually wasted.

So the Five Great Families never even considered allowing their juniors to enter the 'Three Great God Sects'!

Thus, Chen Yu was unaware of this before.

He took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, then with determined eyes, said: "Then I will wait five years to enter the God Sect!"

With the recruitment by the Eight Great Empire Sects imminent, Chen Yu could only enter the nearby Xie Luo Prison.

This path was not a good choice.

And opting for the Three Great God Sects would bring assessments and the possibility of failure.

But having cultivated thus far, Chen Yu, who outshone geniuses of the same rank, had a certain confidence in himself.

In comparison, this path was much better.

Chen Yu was pressed for time and still needed to find the "Heavenly Sacred Seed" to save Ye Luofeng, so since he chose to wait five years, he must enter the God Sect without any mishap.

Seeing Chen Yu's firm determination, Qingyun Emperor nodded slightly.

"If so, then stay here for a while first."

Qingyun Emperor smiled.

"Alright."

Currently, Chen Yu didn't have anywhere else to go.

After some small talk, Chen Yu returned to his residence.

The previous ten days of cultivation were not enough to consolidate his power.

Now that Chen Yu made a new choice, with ample time, he went back into seclusion to strive for an early consolidation of his power.

On this day.

A servant passed a message: "Commander, someone is here to see you outside the City Lord Mansion."

"Who?"

Chen Yu asked, having no acquaintances at the Chaotic Sea Plain.

"They didn't give a name, only said they come from the White Tiger Sacred Clan."

"It's them?"

Chen Yu did not have a good impression of the four from the White Tiger Sacred Clan and was ready to dismiss them.

But on second thought, being the commander of the City Lord Mansion, with a high position and power, backed by Qingyun Emperor,

even if they had a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare lay a hand on him here, instead needing to be wary of Chen Yu's retaliation.

"Bring them to see me."
