Inside the Rain King's Mansion, the Rain King came out of seclusion himself.
He sat on the main seat in the hall with a gloomy face. He looked down at the elders below with a majestic face full of dissatisfaction.
"Speak up. What did you find out?"
The Rain King said in a low voice, trying to suppress his anger.
"Reporting to the Rain King, we... we didn't..."
An elder opened his mouth. Even though he was very old, he still trembled when facing the Rain King.
"The divine statue in the ancestral temple was shattered. I gave you half a year to investigate but you elders who guarded the ancestral temple couldn't find the reason. Now you just answer me with these two words?"
The Rain King said in a low voice. His anger was almost uncontrollable.
"The ancestral temple of the Rain Clan worships the divine spirit of the Rain Clan. The divine statue was shattered and half of the imperial city knew about it. You still haven't found out the reason. Do we Rain Clan still need our face?"
The Rain King continued to ask. He was very angry.
The ancestral temple that symbolized the foundation of the Rain Clan had a problem but they had no clues.
And the movement of the ancestral temple was very big. Almost half of the imperial city could feel it. There were already some princes who liked to watch the excitement and asked for the reason.
Unfortunately, he as the Rain King couldn't give a reason!
"Reporting to the Rain King, it may have something to do with the divine relics."
One of the elders immediately opened his mouth and said his guess.
"Who touched the divine relics half a year ago?"
The Rain King asked.
It didn't matter if it was a guess as long as there was a clue.
Even if this guess was not valid but as long as there was a little basis they could use it to block the gossip.
"Only Yu Rou from the martial king's mansion asked for a drop of rain god blood."
The elder in charge of the rain clan's treasure house said.
The divine relics were fixed in quantity. One less if one was used so even within the rain clan they rarely used them.
"Someone from the martial king's mansion came to ask for rain god blood?"
"Yes, she asked for a drop of rain god blood for her offspring double pupil holder Shi Yi. She wanted to baptize him with it."
"A double pupil holder... It is indeed worth paying a drop of rain god blood for him. But the divine statue of the rain god was shattered. This matter can't be over like this. Send an order and let Yu Rou bring along the double pupil holder to visit the Rain King's Mansion!"
The Rain King ordered. He wanted to see this extraordinary double pupil holder with his own eyes.
Of course he didn't really believe that the shattering of the divine statue had anything to do with a four-year-old child. He just wanted to see an outstanding junior.

On the other side, in the martial king's mansion, news of Shi Yi coming out of seclusion spread quickly.
Shi Yi had already reached the peak of the blood-moving realm before he went into seclusion. He was only one step away from achieving the extreme of the blood-moving realm. Now that he had been in seclusion for half a year he should have broken through to the extreme of the blood-moving realm right?
This was what all elders from Shi Yi's line thought. When they learned that Shi Yi had indeed broken through to the extreme of the blood-moving realm they still couldn't help but sigh.
"A four-year-old extreme of blood-moving realm holder. He is truly a natural saint. This talent can only make others envy."
"Yeah, living in the same era as Yi'er even if they are dazzling geniuses what can they do? They are just foils after all."
"Terrifying terrifying!"
The elders surrounded Shi Yi in a circle and looked at him with admiration and surprise in their eyes.
Yu Rou stood beside Shi Yi with pride on her face.
"Bu Tian Pavilion sent a message. They heard that Shi Yi was four years old and at the peak of the blood-moving realm. They took the initiative to extend an olive branch and wanted Shi Yi to go to Bu Tian Pavilion's ancient saint academy to practice."
One of the elders said. They deliberately released some news and successfully attracted Bu Tian Pavilion and Zhu Lu Academy.
But they preferred Bu Tian Pavilion's ancient saint academy so they automatically ignored Zhu Lu Academy.
"Wait for some more time. When the ancient saint academy opens we can let Yi'er go to the ancient saint academy to practice."
The elders were all excited. This was the genius they cultivated.
After chatting for a long time these excited elders reluctantly left. After sending off the elders Yu Rou kept Shi Yi behind.
"The Rain King's Mansion sent a message. The Rain King heard about your talent and achievements and wanted to see you."
Yu Rou said with a smile on her face.
"The Rain King wants to see me?"
Shi Yi felt that it wasn't that simple. He had just killed the rain god's remnant sense half a year ago. Now the Rain King wanted to see him. He probably had another purpose.
"Yes, he did. The Rain King had a headache about the ancestral temple matter before. Now he temporarily put down those things and wanted to see you, this natural saint."
Yu Rou said with a smile. She didn't think deeper and was just proud of Shi Yi.
"Then let's go see the Rain King tomorrow."
Shi Yi said and didn't refuse.
Early the next morning Yu Rou took Shi Yi to the Rain King's Mansion. The Rain King was also waiting for them early.
Not every prince was worth being treated like this by the Rain King but Shi Yi, this four-year-old child, made the Rain King make an exception.
In the hall of the Rain King's Mansion, the Rain King sat on the main seat. His body was shrouded in misty rain and his face couldn't be seen clearly. He could only feel a great majesty.
Of course this was only how others felt.
In Shi Yi's eyes, the so-called majestic Rain King was just an ordinary middle-aged man.
"I've heard of you. You were baptized with rain god blood at four years old. After the baptism you had already reached the peak of the blood-moving realm. Now you have been in seclusion for half a year and have broken through to the extreme of the blood-moving realm. You are a very strong young man."
The Rain King said, praising him as soon as he met him.
"I'm just a child who has just started practicing. I'm grateful for the Rain King's concern."
Shi Yi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"You are a wise child. How is it? Is the rain god blood useful?"
The Rain King chuckled and asked.
Shi Yi knew it in his heart. He really wanted to test him about the rain god blood.
"It is rare in the world and surpasses other treasures."
Shi Yi told the truth. Among all the treasures in that cauldron, rain god blood was indeed the most precious thing.
"My rain clan has many more rain god relics like this. How about it? Are you interested in joining the Rain King's Mansion? In the future you can use these things."
The Rain King said without any concealment.
Yu Rou was stunned and her face changed slightly. She wanted to speak but was stopped by the Rain King.
He wanted to hear this child's answer.
"Thank you for your kindness, Rain King. My surname is Shi and my name is Shi Yi."
Shi Yi's voice was childish but his attitude was extremely firm.
A mere divine relic wanted to tempt an immortal king?
"What a pity. But the door of the Rain King's Mansion is always open for you."
The Rain King smiled and didn't continue this topic. He changed to talk about other things.
Until Shi Yi left the Rain King's Mansion, the Rain King didn't mention anything about the ancestral temple. It seemed that he only wanted to see this outstanding junior and casually throw an olive branch.
After Shi Yi left, the Rain King called a person wearing a black robe.
"Keep an eye on the double pupil holder. Create opportunities for him to get close to our rain clan's younger generation. Send someone to tell Yu Rou to remember her surname."
"Also, record this young man's attitude towards our rain clan."
