Chapter 96: Joining In

Other transcendent beings came and went, but Chi Qiu Bai and Tan Shi, the two strongest humans on the Saint Ranking, temporarily resided in Xue Shi Castle. In their own words, it was to temporarily protect Dongbo Xueying!

Morning.

The Dongbo family, Dongbo Xueying, Qing Shi, Zong Ling, Tong San, and others all had breakfast together.

“I want to hear your thoughts, Father,” Dongbo Xueying said, explaining the pros and cons of joining various organizations.

“Why ask us about joining transcendent organizations?” Dongbo Lie replied, “We don’t really understand transcendent matters. Just choose whichever is best and most suitable for you. Don’t worry about us.”

Mo Yangyu also said, “Right, how many people does our Dongbo family have? We’re barely managing the Yi River Domain, let alone governing Qinghe Prefecture.”

“Don’t worry, Longshan Pavilion will provide sufficient manpower,” Dongbo Xueying smiled.

“I still say, choose whichever suits you best,” Dongbo Lie said, and Zong Ling, Tong San, and Qing Shi all nodded in agreement, clearly not wanting to influence Dongbo Xueying’s choice… After all, in their eyes, the matters of transcendent beings were the most important.

Dongbo Xueying nodded slightly, “If that’s the case, then I’ll join the Yuan Shui Daoist Temple!”

“Yuan Shui Daoist Temple?” Dongbo Lie was puzzled.

“Why?” Qing Shi asked, “Brother, didn’t you say that in terms of secret techniques, the Earth Temple and Blood Blade Tavern are the strongest, and in terms of treasures, the Black and White Divine Mountains have the most advantages?”

Dongbo Xueying nodded lightly.

The founders of the Black and White Divine Mountains were two extremely powerful transcendent mages! Therefore, the Black and White Divine Mountains had many mages, gradually attracting more mages! The numerous transcendent weapons and formations they crafted were also very powerful, attracting some transcendent knights to join, allowing them to obtain many transcendent weapons at lower prices.

The Black and White Divine Mountains managed six provinces, and He Shan Zhu was currently considered the strongest in the world.

“The Earth Temple and Blood Blade Tavern have too many rules, not suitable for me,” Dongbo Xueying smiled, “As for the other four major organizations, the differences between them aren’t that big. Since I’m from Anyang Province, joining Yuan Shui Daoist Temple is more suitable! Chi Qiu Bai, the Long Feng Knight of Yuan Shui Daoist Temple, has also treated me very well.”

…

Morning.

Dongbo Xueying, Chi Qiu Bai, and Tan Shi all sat under a pavilion, sitting separately, while the Yi Hong Pavilion Master stood beside them, pouring tea, clearly very accustomed to serving transcendent beings.

“You chose Yuan Shui Daoist Temple?” Tan Shi, with lion-like eyes, widened his eyes and slapped his thigh, “What a pity! You didn’t join our Hai Shen Palace.”

“You guys’ Hai Shen Palace doesn’t have much hope, right?” Chi Qiu Bai smiled, in a good mood, “My Yuan Shui Daoist Temple has never considered you as a rival.”

Tan Shi pouted, “Look how pleased you are.”

“Xueying,” Chi Qiu Bai’s tone became more familiar, “From today on, we’ll be good brothers. You can just call me Brother Long Feng.”

“This…” Dongbo Xueying hesitated slightly.

Because he knew the rules within the four major transcendent organizations.

Those at the Title level were disciples!

Those at the Feitian level were protectors.

Saints were elders.

Half-gods were the topmost, either leaders of a transcendent organization or elders, reverends, deputy pavilion masters, deputy temple masters, etc., with status equal to leaders.

Therefore, normally Dongbo Xueying should address him as ‘Chi Elder’ or ‘Long Feng Elder’.

Calling him Brother Long Feng was a bit arrogant. After all, he was the number one on the Saint Ranking! He had slain native half-gods in the transcendent world and defeated the half-god ghost knight ‘Feng Dong’!

“Don’t be so hesitant. Most of the transcendent beings in Yuan Shui Daoist Temple come from the five northern provinces. Naturally, we’re closer to Anyang Province,” Chi Qiu Bai smiled, “Previously, there were a total of nine transcendent beings in Anyang Province. Including you, that makes ten! Old Peng and I are at the Saint level, the others are Feitian level. I have high hopes for you, or rather, the entire world has high hopes for you. As long as you don’t slack off, reaching the Saint level is no problem. At that time, Anyang Province will have three Saints. We from Anyang Province are like family, so no need to be too formal.”

Half-god?

No one dared to say much about it. Half-gods had a lifespan of three thousand years, yet currently, Yuan Shui Daoist Temple only had two half-gods! Like Elder Lei Zhen, who once had the treasure of the Ocean Boundary Stone, still failed and died. There were too many similar cases.

Only someone like Chi Qiu Bai, who ranked first on the Saint Ranking and was young, was considered to have a great chance of becoming a half-god.

“Brother Long Feng.” Dongbo Xueying still couldn’t bring himself to call him Brother Long Feng so casually.

“You little guy,” Chi Qiu Bai laughed, then flipped his hand, producing three bracelets: one black bracelet and two white ones, “These are alchemical transcendent communication bracelets. This black one is for you! The other two white ones are ordinary communication bracelets. You can leave them for your family to use in the future to contact each other! These white bracelets are very cheap, one jin of source stone can buy five. If you need more, just buy them yourself.”

Dongbo Xueying’s eyes lit up as he took them immediately.

He temporarily put the white bracelets aside, then easily infused his transcendent battle qi into the black bracelet, wearing it on his arm, where the black bracelet merged into his skin.

“Hmm?” Dongbo Xueying slightly sensed something.

Inside the black bracelet was like a three-dimensional space.

There was a simple code: Yuan Shui Anyang 29.

“Your communication code is ‘Yuan Shui Anyang 29’,” Chi Qiu Bai smiled, “In the future, when you send a message, the recipient will naturally discover your communication code. Each communication code… represents a transcendent life!”

“Hmm?”

Dongbo Xueying suddenly felt startled.

Because three messages came successively through the communication bracelet, his consciousness directly received them, quite magically.

These three messages were from—

Yuan Shui Anyang 16: I am Chi Qiu Bai.

Hai Shen Tuo Yun 9: Kid, it’s me Tan Shi, this is my communication code.

Long Shan Anyang: Master Dongbo, I am Yi Hong.

“Fascinating,” Dongbo Xueying felt it was amazing.

“By the way, there’s another very special code called ‘Xia Clan Torch’,” Chi Qiu Bai said, “This is a code known to every transcendent being. Once you encounter extremely important matters or life-threatening danger, you can immediately ask for help. When seeking rescue, you need to provide your geographical location. Your communication bracelet has a map attached. Mark your position on the map, then send the message to ‘Xia Clan Torch’.”

Dongbo Xueying nodded.

Because everything relied on thought transmission, how powerful were the souls of transcendent beings? As long as a blink passed, the message could be sent out.

“Our six major transcendent organizations have absolute advantages!” Chi Qiu Bai smiled, “Therefore, the Demon God Society and some Evilgod demon god organizations, as well as the Witch Temple, generally dare not ambush you. As long as they ambush you and we find out, semi-divine experts who can traverse space will instantly arrive.”

“What if the other party is strong enough to kill us instantly?” Dongbo Xueying asked.

“If we die instantly, the communication bracelet without an owner will automatically send the location at that time to ‘Xia Clan Torch’. We will immediately come to retaliate,” Chi Qiu Bai said, “Therefore, in the mortal world, in the Torch World, you generally won’t encounter danger. Unless the other party is willing to risk a war with our entire six organizations to kill you! Such reckless acts are rare, I haven’t encountered any.”

Dongbo Xueying breathed a sigh of relief.

In terms of importance, Chi Qiu Bai was much more important than himself. If the Witch Temple or Demon God Society wanted to kill someone, they would probably target Chi Qiu Bai first.

“But!”

“The communication bracelet cannot transmit beyond a world. World space naturally has isolation effects,” Chi Qiu Bai said, “Only the Torch World, after our countless years of development, can naturally communicate with the outside. However, other transcendent worlds, whether large or small, are all isolated from the outside!”

“The outside cannot contact you. You cannot contact the outside either.”

“Therefore, entering transcendent worlds is very dangerous. On one hand, the native beings of transcendent worlds hate us. On the other hand, if the Witch Temple or Demon God Society encounter you in such a transcendent world, they will probably attack! In that case, unable to contact the outside, it would be extremely dangerous,” Chi Qiu Bai said, “Within transcendent worlds, sometimes some transcendent beings within our six organizations, driven by greed, might strike! After all, without contact with the outside, as long as it’s not exposed, no one will know.”

Chi Qiu Bai looked at Dongbo Xueying, “Fortunately, before reaching the Saint level, except for the Torch World, transcendent beings are forbidden from entering other transcendent worlds.”

“I understand,” Dongbo Xueying nodded.

In terms of safety, the six major transcendent organizations had clearly considered very carefully.

“When will you go to Yuan Shui Daoist Temple?” Chi Qiu Bai asked.

“I just escaped from Hei Feng Abyss and reunited with my parents. I plan to stay a bit longer, probably within a month, then set off for Yuan Shui Daoist Temple,” Dongbo Xueying said.

“Alright, then I won’t stay any longer! The map attached to the communication bracelet already has the exact location of Yuan Shui Daoist Temple. You can go there when the time comes,” Chi Qiu Bai stood up.

Tan Shi also smiled, “Dongbo Xueying, cultivate diligently, reach the Saint level as soon as possible, so we can go on adventures in transcendent worlds together.”

“I’ll definitely do my best,” Dongbo Xueying also stood up to see them off.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Chi Qiu Bai and Tan Shi quickly soared into the sky, disappearing on the horizon.

The Yi Hong Pavilion Master, who had been standing nearby serving, immediately smiled and said, “Congratulations, Master Dongbo. Now that Master Dongbo has joined Yuan Shui Daoist Temple, Qinghe Prefecture will naturally be governed by the Dongbo family! Since the Dongbo family lacks manpower, the Longshan Pavilion’s forces are at your command! Any Title-level families in Qinghe Prefecture, such as the Si and Zhang families, who dare to resist, should be dealt with accordingly—those who deserve death shall die, those who deserve capture shall be captured! The Si family has too many agents and occupies too many official positions in Qinghe Prefecture, greatly hindering the Dongbo family’s governance. Now I will immediately arrange to drive away the Si family members first! The Longshan Pavilion will send people to temporarily take over, and the Dongbo family can send their own people to take charge anytime in the future! In fact, the Longshan Pavilion executes orders most decisively and efficiently.”

“Good,” Dongbo Xueying nodded. In mundane matters, the Longshan Pavilion would handle things very cleanly, solving the worries for transcendent beings.
