All Ba Tian Ren's cultivation of the Sky dominating scripture nestled in this golden drop of blood, accumulating without truly assimilating into him, but he was still an healthy young boy.
By all reasons there was no need for him for him to be blind.
Now he knew how he would regain his sight.
He had preserved for 18 years, he had followed his Father's instructions.
Back then he couldn't understand, why did he have to wait for so long, just waiting.
Ba Tian Ren couldn't understand why he who was innately born to be great had to be mocked for being mundane.
His cultivation had not progressed over the years, but Ba Tian Ren felt he had grown, his heart and spirit tempered.
Standing up from the golden blood pool that was now pale from having lost it's essence, Ba Tian Ren took his robe by the side and wore it, intending to leave the Shrine.
This blood pool had been prepared by Ba Tian Di for his cultivation, for 15 years he had cultivated persistently in it.
Turning back for the last time, his gaze fixed on a black gold battle axe on the alter table in front.
He couldn't see it, but could feel.
The Sky dominating Axe!
Ba Tian Di's imperial weapon and guardian of this shrine.
As if sensing Ba Tian Ren's gaze, the Axe hummed in excitement.
The golden blood in his chest cavity also throbbed in connection, Ba Tian Ren turned back and left the inner shrine.
At the outer court Xuan Yu was there waiting for him, seeing him covered in bright golden blood and fumble his way through, she stood up from where she sat cross-legged in front of a mural and went to help him out.
Feeling that familiar presence, Ba Tian Ren smiled, " Thank you "
Xuan Yu blushed in response, " it's my duty my lord "
Then lowering her head down in panic and fear, she said, " I got carried away and looked at the mural my Lord "
" Oh, okay "
Xuan Yu was struck at his response, why was he being so lax with his Father's legacy.
For 15 years, no one had entered the shrine, it was only now, Tian Ren had asked her to enter and wait for him at the outer shrine.
At of curiosity, and after looking around for while, she couldn't help herself from studying the techniques on the mural.
She felt like she had overstepped her boundaries, had she ultimately fulfilled her power hungry father's ambition in giving her to Tian Ren.
Xuan Yu felt guilty and downcast.
When one was blind, they became sensitive to other senses.
Feeling Xuan Yu's silence and guessing her guilt, he raised his bloodied hand and cupped her face, whilst smiling.
" You think too much at times, are you not my Ba Tian Ren's woman, why feel so guilty and ashamed of looking at a scripture "
Usually entering and leaving the shrine, as he was blind, he had to fumble his way through.
He had only restrained any one from entering because of his Father's instructions, but he was ready now.
Since there was no need too again, having Xuan Yu wait at the outer court, to save him from blindly fumbling through was better today.
As for the Sky dominating scripture, there was no harm in her seeing it, and it could be beneficial.
The Soaring cloud technique Xuan Yu cultivated was wondrous but had a physique weakness, it was for this reason the Soaring Cloud Paragon so desired the technique.
" Ba Tian Ren's woman", Xuan Yu felt sweet feeling blossom in her heart.
Of all their years together, this was the first time Ba Tian Ren was bold in intimacy with her.
" Let's go "
Xuan Yu nodded her head as they left the shrine.
Leaving the shrine, Ba Tian Ren could feel the cool evening breeze brush against his skin.
The warmth of the sun, the cold breeze of the night, that was how Ba Tian Di discerned time.
It was night time, a beautiful night.
Probably because his wait was over, Tian Ren felt happy, lightened, emotional.
He now knew his next step, and it was time to take it.
Time to resolve his past aspect.
" Xuan Yu, you've finally seen the Sky dominating scripture, do you want to go away, sincerely I allow it, all this while we've not gone beyond in our relationship, you can start afresh with another "
Xuan Yu shook at Ba Tian Ren's word.
He knew!
Ba Tian Di knew, Ba Tian Ren also knew, that the true reason Soaring cloud Paragon had desired an alliance between him and his most talented daughter was the Sky dominating scripture.
But Ba Tian Di and Tian Ren also had alterior motives, back then Ba Tian Di wanted an ally that would safeguard his son till he came of age.
And most importantly also an helper, Ba Tian Ren was blind, he couldn't do a lot of things easily, or himself.
Ba Tian Ren had no bad feelings for Xuan Yu in his heart, she had been sincerely good to him throughout the years.
He had also purposely arranged for her to see the Sky Dominating Scripture, to give her the freedom and ease to make her decision.
Xuan Yu felt her heart rend, she felt so scared, like as if something extremely dear to her was her was about to be lost, No!
" I don't want to leave you my Lord, "
Ba Tian Ren chuckled, " is worth it Xuan Yu, am I worth it, you're digressing from your Clan and father's plan, do you truly want a blind husband"
" I'm certain of my feelings my Lord "
Ba Tian Ren wished he could see her face at this moment.
Ba Tian Ren laughed in wild abandon, how did he charm this lady.
Then his smiling deamenour rescinding, his face serious, " from this moment on, you are truly my Ba Tian Ren's concubine "
Xuan Yu felt something had changed in Ba Tian Ren, as someone that was literally closest with him, she knew his character.
But now it was like the imposing and dominating energy that was always restrained in him, that scarcely, rarely diffused, was being released in reckless confidence.
.....
The next day, Members of the Ba Clan stood in wait as Ba Tian Ren exited his quarters with Xuan Yu.
Having given the order, the Ba Clan had already made arrangements, various chests and betrothal gifts were on display .
As usual Xuan Yu helped Ba Tian Ren around, but unlike before Xuan Yu was not wearing her signature white cloud patterned robe.
long white cloud colored hair, fair skinned, with red lips, a delicate phoenix beauty
Clad in a black gold robe with cloud patterns and Ba Clan insignias, that robe that clearly accentuated her status as the Ba King's official concubine.
Although shocked every person here understood the statement and paid their greetings, " We greet the King and the noble consort ".
Ba Tian Ren nodded his head and spoke , " is every arrangement ready Great uncle "
Ba Tin proceeded forward and responded, " yes , Your Highness "
" Alright "
Walking a bit forward with Xuan Yu's help, Ba Tian Ren raised his head towards the sky.
The home of the lightning rocs was the high lightning skies of the Sky Dominating World, casually as he summoned his lightning Rocs.
" Descend "
Shock took the entire Ba clan, especially the elders as the clouds parted as three gigantic lightning Rocs blotted the sky
What was going on!, Ba Peng trembled as unbelief swept him.
No one was more knowledgeable on the Sky dominating Emperor or Ba Tian Ren's matters like the Ba Clan.
Every time, Tian Ren summoned the lightning Rocs and the sky dominating carriage, he could only do so by using the latent power the Sky dominating Emperor had instilled in him.
No other way was there, for an Origin realm cultivator like Ba Tian Ren to summon three quasi King realm lightning Rocs .
lightning Rocs were lightning divine spirit beasts!
Three quasi realm lightning Rocs could deter even a paragon.
Ba Tian Ren summoning the Sky Dominating carriage casually meant he had refined it to some degree, with the Orign realm cultivation?
With higher cultivations they could easily , his realm was the same!
The most shocked was Ba Tin, he wasn't shocked at Xuan Yu's royal attire, Ba Tian Ren had ordered him to prepare it last night.
But the summoning of the lightning Rocs...
Just now as he was closest to him, in the brief moment Ba Tian Ren had summoned the lightning Rocs, Ba Tin saw Ba Tian Ren's murky eyes, change to a bright dominating golden color.
The same pupil color as Ba Tian Di!
Was Ba Tian Ren like his father!
The Sky dominating carriage wasn't a normal carriage, this treasure of Ba Tian Di was a floating palace on wheels.
Ba Tian Ren followed with Xuan Yu as the rest of the Ba Clan entourage followed behind.
.....
Desolate Battle World, Zhan Clan.
In a large training yard, a young lady clad in a battle robe held a great spear as she weilded it in mad battle frenzy.
Her violent spear play sweeping gusts of wind across the courtyard making it difficult to discern her features within the wind storm.
At the side of the young lady, a young man sat relaxed on a chair, looking at a scroll, whilst sipping tea.
Looking at the content of the scroll he smiled and looked at the young lady, shouting.
" The Ba King is on his way to the Zhan clan for his marriage with first Sister "
Immediately the spear welding lady stopped, her features being discernable.
Tall and slender with an attractive sexy figure, fair skinned with grey eyes and a flawless face.
" Oh "
The young lady turned to the courtyard side where an handsome portrait was, of Ba Tian Ren, looking at it.
Seeing this a dangerous demonic light flashed through the pupils of the young man
