The Scarlet Throne

Many centuries ago a boy ascended to immortality and soon became the most powerful immortal to have ever existed and was named the Emperor. But he decided to cultivate in seclusion for five centuries to become even more powerful and worthy of his status. Before secluding himself, he parted his empire into eight realms and gave each of them an element to help them with their cultivation. While he was in seclusion, the realms and sects within started preparing themselves for his return, an event that was dubbed “The Rise of the Phoenix”. They built a palace for him and called it the Phoenix Palace, it was also dubbed the Scarlet Throne. The sects also started paying more attention to their children and started breeding perfect children of both genders, hoping that their Emperor would choose them to become part of his harem as soon as he would return and thus give them a higher position in the cultivation world. Each of the children, in the generation where the Phoenix is said to return, was given a representing gem as a title.
