ATG: My genius is almost frightening!

She has stunning eyes that seem to hold the world's essence, with crystal-clear pupils and crescent-shaped eyebrows. Her jade-like skin and creamy face glow softly in the dim light, while her delicate lips and sculpted nose add to her natural nobility. Her soft, shiny black hair cascades gracefully over her shoulders.

"Father, why did you call me?" Xia Qingyue asked. She wasn't as cold as in the novel, but her obsession with cultivation and finding her mother was still strong, so she rarely left her room.

"We finished the work the young master assigned us," Xia Hongyi told his daughter.

"Really?" Xia Qingyue's interest was piqued. Ever since she felt the pressure Wuji had unleashed on the whole city, she'd been intrigued by him.

She had tried many times to meet him, but her father and the people from the Xiao Clan had always stopped her.

Xia Hongyi nodded and pulled out three bottles of pills. "Xiao Lei told me the young master gifted these to us."

"According to Xiao Lei, these are blood replenishing pills, vitality pills, and body refining pills," Xia Hongyi said, handing the bottles to his daughter. "They're quite rare and perfect for those at the Elementary Profound Realm."

"I know how hard you've been working on your cultivation," he added, pushing the bottles toward her.

"Thank you, Father!" Xia Qingyue said, her face lighting up as she took the pills.

"Hahaha, no need to thank me," Xia Hongyi chuckled. "I've always wanted to give you something to help with your cultivation."

"Father, can I meet that expert?" Xia Qingyue asked, hesitating slightly.

"I'm afraid not," Xia Hongyi replied, shaking his head. "That man is too elusive, when I delivered the supplies, I didn't even catch a glimpse of him."

"Is that so?" Xia Qingyue's disappointment was evident. She knew relying on herself alone might not be enough to reach the 'Realm of Gods'; her best hope was that expert.

"But I heard he moved into his palace today," Xia Hongyi said, noticing her disappointment. "We might have a chance to meet him if we wait near his palace."

"Really?" Xia Qingyue looked at her father, hoping for confirmation.

"Probably," Xia Hongyi replied. He wasn't entirely sure, and truthfully, he was reluctant to approach the man. The fear he felt that day still made him shudder at the thought of him.

Hearing this, Xia Qingyue thought for a moment before heading back to her room. "Thank you, Father. I'll go back to my room now."

Bang!

With a burst, Wuji's veins ruptured, and blood began seeping from his orifices as he fell unconscious.

"Shit, it fucking hurts!" A few hours later, Yun Wuji's injuries healed, and he regained consciousness.

"But this time I made great progress!" Despite ending up half-dead, Wuji was still very pleased. He had managed to link 43 entrances this time!

In the past two weeks, he had been perfecting the Dragon God Morph technique. He managed to produce a few drops of the Dragon God's blood and also refine all the remaining blood that the Dragon God had sealed within him.

Although it only took him a week to create the Dragon God Morph, there was still plenty of work to be done. Each time he used it, he noticed areas that needed improvement.

Typically, creating profound arts requires extreme caution due to the high risk of backlash. However, this doesn't apply to Dragon God Morph. It's more of a method to enhance the effects of the Dragon God's marrow and mutate his body rather than a profound art like the World Ode of the Phoenix.

Getting up, he used his profound energy to clean himself, changed into a black tight combat suit, and left the cultivation room.

As he headed to wake the two kids, he noticed someone standing in front of the palace.

"Oh, interesting," he said, intrigued by the sight.

Very early in the morning, Xia Qingyue slipped out of the Xia manor and made her way to Wuji's palace. It was easy to find since it was too eye-catching In the middle of hills and mountains.

She didn't knock immediately. Instead, she waited a few meters away from the palace.

After waiting for hours, Xia Qingyue noticed someone emerging from the palace and quickly approached him. However, she froze when her gaze landed on him.

Yun Wuji was originally incredibly handsome, and after cultivating the Miracle Of Life and the improved Frozen Cloud arts, he became extremely handsome and abnormally charming.

However, what attracted Xia Qingyue was his aura and temperament. He radiated a warm, approachable nobility while also exuding an overbearing dominance as if he looked down on all living beings.

Two contrasting temperaments coexisted within him, creating a compelling allure that was irresistibly attractive to the opposite sex.

"Who are you?" Yun Wuji glanced at the girl.

"Ah! I'm Xia Qingyue. Nice to meet you, Young Master Wuji," she quickly regained her composure after being addressed.

"Nice to meet you. So, what brings you here?" Yun Wuji asked, giving her a nod.

'I bet all the readers's ball that she would ask me to be her master.'

"Please take as your disciple, young master!" As if to prove him correct, Xia Qingyue bowed to him and said.

'Easy!'

"Oh? Why should I?" Yun Wuji replied with a teasing smile. He knew a long time ago that she would seek him out, in fact, one of his goals when he released his aura upon arriving in the city was to attract her attention.

After all, compared to Xiao Che and Xiao Lingxi, Xia Qingyue was incredibly beautiful and talented. More importantly, she was one of his favorite characters from the novel.

One of the best characters second only to Qianye Ying'er.

"I am talented and hard-working," Xia Qingyue replied immediately as if she had been prepared for his question.

"Indeed, your talents I exceptional, even in the Realm Of Gods it is very hard to find someone who could match you," Yun Wuji looked at her and said nodding his head.

"Realm Of Gods?!" Xia Qingyue was surprised and from excitement, she grabbed his hands and asked him "Do you know about the Realm Of Gods?"

"Hm?" Yun Wuji didn't answer immediately. He glanced at his hand, then back at her.

"Ah! I am sorry!" Xia Qingyue quickly let go of his hand, her face burning red from embarrassment. She had never had any physical contact with any man aside from her father.

"Please, tell me about Realm Of Gods!" She quickly composed herself and asked him.

"Why should I?" Looking at her urgent look, he wanted to tease her.

"..." His answer stunned her, that's right why should he tell her? 

But Xia Qingyue didn't want to give up! This was the first time she found someone who knew about the realm of gods, the place where her mother went to! She didn't can't let this chance go!

"You said that I am talented, when I become strong I'll repay you."

"Even then talent isn't everything, without resources and guidance, no matter how gifted a genius is, they won't go far," Wuji shook his head and didn't forget to praise his genius "Of course, I am an exception."

"..." Xia Qingyue looked at him blankly. What is this guy saying?

"What can I do to make you tell," She looked at him desperately.

"Tell me first why are you so instant on knowing about the Realm Of Gods?" Yun Wuji asked her instead.

"I want to see my mother," Xia Qingyue became silent for a while before replying, "When I was four years old my mother left us, and the last words she said were "Realm of the Gods." she said that it was the place where she belongs."

"You are too weak to learn about the Realm Of The Gods, what can I tell you is that even the strongest person in this continent isn't qualified to be a doorman there," Yun Wuji told her, acting like an annoying supporting character.

He always hated them when they said things like 'Knowing too much will only affect your practice' or 'You are not qualified to know right now, it will affect your Dao heart.'

"Impossible!" Xia Qingyue exclaimed in astonishment, she couldn't believe what he said.

In her cognition, Monarchs are the absolute strongest people and represent the limited of cultivation.

"Sovereign Profound Realm is not even the beginning of real cultivation, in Realm Of The Gods they are not even qualified to be cannon fodder," Yun Wuji added. "Your mother is probably someone above the Sovereign Profound Realm, who was injured and fell to this lower plane."
