Man Against Gods

After a short exchange of pleasantries, we got seated in very uncomfortable couches, there is table in middle and on other side was the Grand Mistress, behind her is Gong Yuxian, but few moments later so-called 'Seven Fairies' flew in.

Standing respectfully behind Grand Mistress as well.

Two of them are quite familiar to me, one of them is even my dear wife-to-be.

Of course, my massive increase in cultivation didn't go unnoticed...

"How??? Jian Feng... it was only been a week!" Chu Yuechan couldn't stay quiet.

I smiled at her, she blushed and looked away.

"I got rid of Mighty Heavenly Sword Region..." I pointed with my finger behind me standing Sovereign minions.

"And domesticated few of them to works as bodyguards..." All nine Fairies opened their mouths...then closed...repeated the same action a few times...

'You just had to break them, master! how are going to talk with them now!?' Ying'er said while pouting.

'Right...I forgot...cultivators used to reverie them as pseudo-God like places...' Blonde just g.r.o.a.n.e.d at me.

'Yes...master...cultivators usually respect other cultivators of higher realm than their own...' I just rolled my eyes at her.

'Yes, yes and a lot of ass-kissing which follows after! I know...' after saying that I focused on broken fairies in front of me.

Next moment I snapped my fingers coated in Profound energy...

*SNAP*

Creating very loud noise, which snapped nine women in front of me out of their shock.

Cang Yue by then had her hands on her ears as she saw what I was about to do.

"Well? back to the world of the living?" I asked with a teasing voice, oh how I love to tease these women...

All nine of them blushed in embarrassment, first one to get over it is the Grand Mistress who coughed into her fist elegantly, trying to push her embarrassment aside.

"Yes...as Chu Yuechan said to me before your abilities and unique view towards cultivation world... I am...not too shocked that you were able to achieve that." She said that with still pink cheek, internally I rolled my eyes, sure...

"Anyway, I am here to place the formation fortress the same one which now protects capital and gives the Emperor 'absolute' power in the city, since there are people after my Qingyue..." The Grand mistress nodded.

"Yes, it appears the prophecy which was told close to one thousand years is correct..." I raised my eyebrow at her hearing that... prophecies huh... I hate those, naruto became not the same show once they introduced that nonsense...

"Really now? what are the details of this?... prophecy?" I asked with distaste, Grand Mistress raised her own eyebrow at me.

"It seems you don't like prophecies?" I nodded at her question, then with hand motion summoned a teapot and few cups, I quickly prepared some tea, which got the Grand Mistress as well as Palace Mistress and five other Fairies out of the loop.

"For me prophecies are something I distaste because it forces people to behave according to some deity prepared path, of course not all prophecies are like that, that's why I am asking for details..." I gave one cup to Grand Mistress same time I gave one to my Princess, then taking one for myself.

Grand Mistress thanked me, then she tasted the tea, her eyes widened after taking a sip.

Oh how I love using my editing powers on small stuff like this... it's so worth it...

"This...taste incredible..." I nodded at her compliment, she then gathered herself together.

"Let me tell you about the prophecy Duke Jian Feng... Around one thousand years ago, our Founder Mu Bingyun..." Ying'er chuckled hearing that...

'My guess was right! this sect has connection to Snow Song Realm! Mu is surname of people from that realm! and Mu Bingyun is...I think younger sister of Mu Xuanyin the Realm King of that realm!' The Blonde girl said with smug voice.

'That means she is still around... no? Thousand years is nothing but a small drop to their lifespans...' I said to her as I took my own sip of tea and focused to Grand Mistress story.

"...Visited a clan in one of the neighbouring Empire's, this clan... was called 'Heaven Fate Clan', while this clan was not strong in Cultivation, they had unique Profound arts which allowed them to glimpse into future..." Not bad... something like foresight?, but my bet is that this clan is gone now...

"...They prophesied that Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace shall face a danger of extinction one thousand years later...if they can survive it...the Immortal Palace shall enter Golden age, and if they don't it will be an end to us..." I hummed hearing that... at least it's a basic prophecy, nothing like HP ones, were lines and lines of mumbo-jumbo...

"My guess is that it's related to my Qingyue, as she has one in ten thousand years body constitution, which something any pervert cultivator would love to have, and since Ling Kun sold this information to Sun Moon Divine Hall... a sect which practises Dual Cultivation, she is in top list to be delivered to the Young Master of the Sun Moon Divine Hall..." I explained the whole prophecy in one breath...

"Yes... it appears so... Duke Jian Feng... I wish for you to protect my Immortal Palace, in turn, you may marry Chu Yuechan and Xia Qingyue..." The Grand Mistress said with a serious expression, while fairies behind her gasped, I closed my eyes thinking this through.

"Very well, since I am taking two fairies from your Palace, you may ask a single more request, as the other one is to lay down most powerful formations I know for your Immortal Palace, it will make Sovereign Profound and below powerless in your territory..." I explained to her, the Grand Mistress looked at me with awe hearing that, Didn't she said that she is not too shocked that I can do such a thing!?

Chu Yuechan couched loudly enough to snap Grand Mistress from her shock.

"Ah, yes I would be wonderful! But are you sure you want us to ask another request?" I shrugged my shoulders.

"I do, I don't want to look like someone who takes ladies away and doesn't respect their 'parents', it leaves a bad taste..." The Grand Mistress nodded hearing that she was satisfied it seems from her expression.

"Very well... May I ask for Heavenly God Spiritual Veins?" She asked 'innocently', I chuckled hearing that.

"I can offer something better... Why I don't just reinvent your Frozen Cloud Arts?" She raised her eyebrow hearing that.

"You... think you can do better than Ancestor Bingyun?" Gong Yuxian said angrily, from behind Grand Mistress.

Cang Yue next to me snorted.

"I am trained by my beloved in Arts created by him which can skip Cultivation levels... " Cang Yue said with her own pissed off voice...she is very defensive when it comes to me...

"Palace Mistress do you wish to see that with your own two eyes?" Cang Yue said as her eyes glowed a little bit green.

Grand Mistress raised her hand

"There is no need for that Princess..." Grand Mistress looked at Gong Yuxian with stern look, the Palace Mistress flinched back for a moment.

"I see no reason not to trust you with that Duke Jian Feng, After all, Two of my Palace disciples shall be married to you, at least Chu Yuechan will be, but... What I am worried is what public shall think, Even as we speak people starting to think that... My Palace door is open for them to seek out our disciples..." I nodded hearing that.

"Then I shall 'Join' your Palace as...lets say a Guest Elder, this way they shall get the message that it's not open to the 'public', but this will cost you... let's say, Chu Yueli?" I said with a smirk, while the said fairy started blushing like a tomato, even the other fairies we're not immune to that.

"WHAT!" Gong Yuxian lost her cool, while Grand Mistress didn't lose her cool instead she raised her eyebrow.

"Why? you wish Fairy of Frozen Grass to be added to your...harem?" I smiled at her question.

"Because the gap between Chu Yuechan and Chu Yueli will only grow, and that, in turn, will only create inner 'demons' for Yueli and Yuechan, family bonds are not easily forgotten especially if they care about each other..." The Grand Mistress slowly nodded she understood what I am saying.

"I see...Chu Yueli always had a certain rivalry and adoration with her elder sister, always chasing to be as powerful as her, and if you going to make Chu Yuechan strong, she will try by any means harder to close that gap..." The Grand Mistress closed her eyes saying that.

While I looked at the Younger Chu, our eyes met for a second, I winked at her which only made her blush and look away as quickly as possible.

"Grand Mistress You can't be serious! We can't lose two top Fairies! " I blinked at the Palace Mistress.

"Lose? I am not taking them somewhere far... Palace Mistress, and if you Grand Mistress agree, they can still be part of the Immortal Palace, in fact, it only increases your Immortal Palace prestige as they shall achieve high cultivation, and will be able to pass some of my techniques or even introduce Formation making, as part of Immortal Palace's Profound Art Branches..." My words stopped Gong Yuxian in her tracks.

"Are you sure?" Grand Mistress asked with some disbelieve.

"Yes, as long as they are part of the Immortal Palace my teaching can be passed to your disciples." My words only made both Chu sisters blush even more.

"Hmm very well then, I am giving this exception to Xia Qingyue, Chu Yuechan and Chu Yueli, they may have their relationship with you, in turn, we request you to lay down your Formation Fortress as well as reinvent Frozen Cloud arts, and Join us as 'Guest Elder'." Gong Yuxian was gaping at the Grand Mistress, she couldn't believe she agreed to all of this!

"Now..." Grand Mistress turned back to Chu Yueli" Do you agree with my choice Yueli?" The Younger Chu was blushing like tomato, as she doesn't know what to say.

"Well?" Grand Mistress asked her, Chu Yuechan sighed and spoken for sister.

"She agrees." Chu Yueli looked at her elder sister with wide eyes.

"Yueli listen, this is for the best, we will be together for the rest of our lives." Chu Yueli sighed in defeat.

"Very well, then I agree..." Chu Yueli said with blush towards me, I winked at her again, she once more turned away.

"Then we have an agreement." Grand Mistress said that to me.

"Wonderful then I have to hold my part of the deal," I said that to her as I finished my tea, Then I got on my feet.

"Follow me, ladies, let me show you true... magic," I said that to the Fairies.

As we all went to outside the Guest hall, Gong Yuxian g.r.o.a.n.e.d, while Grand Mistress looked at the gathered Palace Fairies with a questioning look.

I saw Qingyue at front, I walked towards her, her beautiful eyes widened sensing me.

"Jian Feng...You are..." She can't even sense my cultivation properly anymore.

My hand gently lifted her chin, our eyes meet.

"You look beautiful like always, My Young Mistress, Want to see something amazing?" asked her with teasing smile, to which she quickly blushed and tried to look away, but my hand on her chin didn't allow that.

"Now, now dear there is no need to do that, you officially are mine now," I said to her as I leaned forward and kissed her forehead, her blush has evolved to next level as her ears are red now as well.

"Now follow me..." I took her hand and started to guide her towards Immortal Palace centre, of course, a massive amount of Palace Disciples followed us, all of them behaved like those gossiping teenagers as they saw my show of affection towards Qingyue.

Gong Yuxian alongside Grand Mistress wanted to hide somewhere as such behaviour of Palace Disciples was very embarrassing to them, and they supposed to be the teachers and masters who train them...

Arriving at the middle of Immortal Palace grounds, I motioned for Qingyue to take a few steps back.

Then I unleashed my cultivation base, lifted my right hand and ball of Profound energy formed, I compressed even more, slowly energy there started to gain colour of white, seeing that I used my left hand and created a ring of Profound energy, I send it into the Profound energy ball to my right hand, once there I started writing quickly with profound energy and send the Runic letters into the Profound energy ring in my right hand.

I repeated the same process several times, by then the Profound Energy ball was full of Profound energy rings with letters.

Once I was done, I looked at females surrounding me, most of them were gaping at me, so I simply lifted the ball higher above me, and released a Profound energy wave which touched every single disciple.

"Now ladies, I need to know where will be the boundary for this formation fortress?"

My voice snapped them out and Grand Mistress quickly approached me.

"What do you need us to do?" She asked seriously as she from time to time would look at the ball of Profound energy in my hand as she spoke to me.

"I need your disciples to mark boundaries of the Formation Fortress, they need to touch walls or ground with their dominant hand, as I already marked them as 'Residents of the Fortress'." Grand Mistress nodded at me and quickly ordered Palace disciples to mark areas according to her specifications, since she knows the palace the best.
