"Welcome to the main headquarters of my guild- Hanging Gardens of Babylon!!" Wang Lei said enthusiastically.
"Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Is that the name of your guild?" Yueli asked. She thought it was quite a wired name for a guild.
"What?! No! who would name their guild that? It's the name of the fortress that you are standing" Wang Lei said. He thought the one to name their guild Hanging Gardens of Babylon would be an idiot.
It was the largest-scaled Noble Phantasm of Semiramis that she used in the Great Holy War. Rather than calling it Anti-Noble Phantasm it was more like a Boundary Field. It was perfect for the main headquarters for his guild. He was thinking of creating one on every star and connect it with other sub-braches.
"How is it flying?" Chu Yuechan asked the question that was in everyone's mind. How he is flying such a big object?
"Hm~ probably because of profound energy, I think," Wang Lei said making a thinking face. In fact, he knew how it was flying but that included its inner mechanism. He was not going to tell them that.
Hearing him everyone was amazed. The way he said, felt like he himself didn't know how it was flying. But they knew he did, if you didn't even know how your guild's main headquarters was working then you should not call it your guild.
"Anyway, since you have decided to become part of my guild then, here, sign it," Wang Lei said while taking out a contract and giving it to Qianhui.
She looked at it curiously and asked what was it.
"It's a soul contract! Once signed, both sides will follow this contract until their death!" Wang Lei said. He created it as a backup. So he won't be backstabbed. It was a world of cultivation. You never know what might happen to you. 'Yesterday's enemy is today's friend and vice versa. Wait! No! why does it sound wrong?'
"Can we explore this island?" Yueli asked. She was really curious about this fortress she wanted to explore it.
Wang Lei gave her permission. Getting his permission, all seven fairies left to explore the fortress. He looked towards Qianhui and Yuxian who were reading the contract.
After reading thoroughly checking the contract, Qianhui dropped a drop of her blood on it. The contract getting in contact with the blood started to shine, it shone and went towards her ċhėst area and vanished. Another contract formed in Wang Lei's hand, he also dropped his blood and it vanishes in his ċhėst area.
"Now that you have come officially under my guild, you should see an icon shining at the top right side of your eye, right?" Wang Lei asked. He has created an ȧssistance system for those who joined his guild but it didn't mean that anyone who will join will have this system. It will only work for those who have a certain power or influence on the world. This system worked as an online market or internet. Those having this system would not have to go to the guild branch to post or receive requests. It would be shown on their system interference. They could even sell their treasures or cultivation techniques and information. There was even an option with which they could make a direct deal with the system's or guild's master, Wang Lei if the treasure or cultivation technique is too valuable.
Qianhui who heard him looked at the top right side of her eye. There she saw an icon. She focused on it and heard a voice in her mind.
[Ding! The host is merging with Guild Assistance System!]
[Ding! Merging compete! The following options are available for the User!]
[Contribution Points=0]
[Status]
[Quests]
[Trading]
[Guild's Shop]
[GM Trading]
[Emergency call! (Only Available for Sect's Masters or authorized individuals!)]
Qianhui's eyes were wide. Her mind was blank. Same with the Yuxian. They didn't know where the voice was coming from or how or what this 'Guild Assistance System' was. Both of them looked towards Wang Lei, waiting for his explanation.
"It seems that you have merged with the system. Don't worry as it will not harm you. You all can think of it as a profound array that will connect you to the guild. And be happy as only Sect's Masters or people with certain power level could connect with this system but I have connected it with seven fairies too as you are the first sect under my guild!" Wang Lei said. He has spent all SP he had gathered in his time since he started using his powers in creating this system. Now he has Zero SP, he was quite sad.
"Anyways, I will explain to you the functions of this system. 1. [Status] will show you guild ranking and your position in the guild, also your affiliation. 2. [Quests] as the name suggest will show you Quests that are posted on the Guild's board and its corresponding awards. 3. [Trading] is, where you can trade items with the guild or with other guild members. It's also the place where you will give cultivation techniques that you have promised to the guild. 4. [Guild's Shop] is where items that the guild will sell. You can buy them or trade with another item of the same value. 5. [CP] is the guild's Contribution points. You can gain them by selling items, treasures, cultivation techniques, and information. 6. [GM Trading] is where you can trade things directly with me. Well, only you guys know that I am GM. After this, you will be recruiting sects and people for the guild and not me. 7. [Emergency Call] is where you can send a distress signal if your sect is under attack, the guild will dispatch its personal for help. For now, there's none except me. More will join in the future." Wang Lei patiently explained. He looked at them who were trying to digest all this information.
After some time, he saw that they have digested all the information and were checking the system.
"Now say the word [Trading] in your mind," Wang Lei said.
Hearing him they thought the word trading in their mind.
***
<Trading>
[Ding! The following are the items that you can trade with the system!]
[Cultivation Techniques]
<Profound Circulation Method of Frozen Asgard>
<Frozen Cloud Arts>
<Frozen End Divine Arts>
[Items]
<Frozen Soul Bead>
<Frozen Cloud Celestial Soul>
<Pearl of Frozen Deception>
<Snow Heart Pellets>
<Frozen Cicada Liquid Jade>
[Weapons]
<Ice Phoenix Snowflower Ribbon (Sky Profound Weapon)>
[Formations]
<Grand Asgard Defending Formation>
<Snow Goddess' Veil>
***
Looking at the list they were shocked as they could see everything that they or Asgard holds, even the <Snow Goddess' Veil> which is the forbidden formation of Asgard.
Looking at their shocked face Wang Lei knew what they were thinking. "You don't have to worry. The system has scanned your memories that's why it is showing everything. You don't have to worry as any of this information will not be shared with anyone. Now can you click on the cultivation techniques as per conditions"
They were relived as no one would be able to know about their information. Now they knew that they can't leave the guild even if they wanted to. First, this guild knew every information about them. Second, just the fact that he can create something like this which can connect to them and read their memories without them knowing was terrifying enough and they haven't seen him fight yet.
Taking a deep breath Qianhui clicked on the cultivation techniques.
[Ding! Cultivation techniques have been sold. It is found out that these techniques were to be given to the guild as per contract. Hence, no trading will be open from the guild!]
Qinghui looked at the notification and felt something scanning her mind. After some time, it stopped. She could tell that it has copied her memories about the cultivation techniques.
"Now you too can enjoy the scenery here or go back to the hall, all kinds of refreshments are available there. I will improve your cultivation technique in the meantime." Wang Lei said and started to walk towards the throne room.
Qinghui and Yuxian walked towards the hall, they wanted some time to digest all that has happened. They just saw too many things that they couldn't understand.
***
Wang Lei reached the throne room. He went and sat on the throne. There was a crystal ball at the armrest of the throne from which he could control the whole fortress. He laid down lazily while supporting his head with his hand and closed his eyes.
'Yue, load the information about the cultivation techniques in my mind'
'Yes, master!'
Wang Lei felt knowledge about Frozen End Divine Art flooding in his mind. He started to comprehend these arts. It was quite easy for him to cultivate it as he had brought <All Elemental Affinity> from the system.
Comprehending it, he understood everything about it. Frozen End Divine art actually required Ice Profound Veins, that one could acquire with the help of Ice Phoenix blood essence. Her blood essence also increases the cultivation speed of ice arts. This art absorbs ice profound energy directly from the atmosphere, which, for those who don't have ice profound veins is poison. That is the reason that those of Frozen Asgard have ice energy around them, causing their life span to decrease.
After completely understanding it he started to edit it. First, he changed the absorption of ice profound energy into nature profound energy that could be changed into ice profound energy once ejected from the body. This way, those who don't possess ice profound vein could cultivate it as they will not be absorbing ice profound energy that causes a decrease in their life span but nature profound energy that will change into ice profound energy once they start to use this art. Since nature energy can be absorbed by anyone, no matter what kind of veins they possess.
Second, he made a connection with a branch of Water Elemental Law, Ice Elemental Law. He once tried <Analyze> on the bridge that his body made with Ice Elemental Law with the help of DF. He used <Eyes of Heaven> on it thinking that he might understand it and to his surprise he could. He was trying to create the same bridge for those who cultivated this art. This way, those who cultivate this art will have their bodies connect with Ice Elemental Law, having the same effect as DF. That means that they could materialize their bodies just like logia users. The only difference was that it required profound energy while DF stamina.
(A/N: DF-> Devil Fruit)
Finally, he changed profound energy into Primordial Energy. This way those cultivating this art from the start will cultivate Primordial Energy while those who have already cultivated other arts and have profound energy, this art will start to change it into Primordial Energy.
Completing this new art, he took a deep breath. He was quite satisfied with it. The only regret was that he could not connect with Water Elemental Law. 'It seems like every Law has different bridge acting as connection' he was thinking of buying other Elemental Fruits so he can create other Profound Arts for his guild.
Wang Lei thought and decided not to give Primordial Energy version to Asgard. He didn't mind giving the first version where only the first two changes were made. But Primordial Version was quite dangerous as one cultivating it can reach True or even Creation God.
He thought and made a lock on the art, he was going to give to Frozen Asgard. With this, only those who are Frozen Asgard Immortal Palace's disciple could cultivate it.
Doing everything he could, he closed his eyes and dozed off. He was tired, mentally. He needed some rest.
***
While Wang Lei was sleeping, seven fairies from the Asgard were in quite a turmoil. They were exploring this fortress when they saw an icon showing at the top right side of their eyes. First, they thought it was a projectile but when they tried to focus on it they started to hear a mechanical voice in their heads. They thought someone was trying to attach them with mental profound art. They activated their defenses but nothing happened.
Taking a deep breath all of them calmed down. Then they realized that not only they but every one of Frozen seven fairies heard the same voice. They got curious and tried asking it a question and to their surprise, they were shocked as it answered their questions. From it, they found out that it was something called the 'Guild Assistance System'. They thought since it has guild in it, it must be related to the guild. Thinking this they started to float towards the Mistresses as they thought that Mistresses were with Wang Lei and they might know about it.
Reaching the great hall, they found their mistresses sitting on or laying on a wired looking chair that was vibrating. They could see the blessed expression on mistress's faces. Curious they asked.
"This is something call, Message Chair~ it quite comfortable~ mȯȧn*," Yuxian said while mȯȧning. She was blushing while sitting on it. She never felt this good. She thought she might get addicted to it.
"Really?" Murong Qianxue asked. She was beautiful. Her slender waist like a willow, the curved bodyline winded downwards like water, connecting to ample buŧŧȯċks hidden by the snow attire. Her snowy skin was more so tenderly pink and flawless like glossy resin, making one become endlessly lost in a reverie at just the thought of the utterly charming scenery that laid to the front of this charming body. She had the biggest ċhėst among the seven, because of which sometimes she had back pain. That's why she had to use her cultivation most of the time to decrease the pain in her back. She was wondering if these chairs could cure her back pain.
Seeing the blessing face of her mistresses she went and sat on one of the chairs lined. She sat and pressed the buŧŧon that her mistresses told and the chair started to vibrate. She felt something touching her back and messaging it. She mȯȧnėd from the feeling. It felt really great.
Others saw this and were curious so they went and sit on other chairs. They already forgot that they were here to ask about System.
10 mints. Later*
"This is heavenly y feeling~" Feng Hanyue.
"You are right sister~" Feng Hanxue.
"From where did he got these chairs from? I wonder can I buy one from him?" Murong Qianxue wondered.
"Your right! We should ask once he comes back!" Yueli said.
"Hm~" Chu Yuechan.
"Ah! I remembered! we were here to ask about the System!" Jun Lianqie said remembering the reason they came in the first place.
"OH! You're right! I forgot after sitting on this Message Chair!" Mu Lanyi said while taking a sip from the juice.
Chu Yuechan also remembered and asked the Mistresses.
Hearing her question, Yuxian started to explain what she heard from Wang Lei. Listening to her, they couldn't believe it. They were in wonder, how one could create such a profound array that could work as ȧssistance. It was the same as creating another life form. If Wang Lei heard them then he would be laughing as he was thinking of creating mobile phones and computers working on profound energy. He even thought of creating a network with his guild as the center of the Database of the whole Primal Chaos Universe.
They were amazed and started to wonder if there was something he could not do.
"You all seem to enjoy your stay here, I am glad!"
***
Wang Lei who woke up yawned. He felt refreshed… not really as he slept on a chair. But he did felt refreshed mentally.
He started to walk towards the great hall. He could feel everyone there. He thought he should give the art to them now. He also needed to create sub-branches on the land so others who are not specially invited could get access to the guild. He also wanted mortals to join his guild. He was going to provide them with cultivation methods. For this reason, he has already brought some small cultivation techniques from the system that one could cultivate in mortal realms. He also wanted to create a great formation on the whole blue polar star so he could gather Primordial Energy here for a better cultivation environment. There was so much but first, he needed to get Purple Veined Divine Crystals from the eastern mountains of Floating Cloud City.
After walking for a while he reached the great hall. He went inside and saw Frozen fairies sitting on message chairs, drinking, and relaxing. One could hear the mȯȧning from time to time. Wang Lei looked at them and thought that you don't get to see such seen every day. He was a man himself. It was quite hard for him to control himself watching nine beauties mȯȧning in front of you.
He smiled and said, "You all seems to enjoy your stay here, I am glad!"
Hearing him they all came out of their relaxed state and looked from where the voice came from.
"You don't have to stand up. This monk understands. I will wait here on the couch for the benefactor" Wang Lei said while shaking his head as if he has done the most religious things in his life.
They all blushed and stood up from the chairs and went towards the couch he was sitting.
Wang Lei saw that they have left the chairs and were coming towards him also stood up and went towards Qianhui.
"Come here, Little Hui. I have completed the art!" Wang Lei said smiling gently. His voice was quite soft when he called her.
Qianhui blushed and went towards him.
Wang Lei pointed his finger on her forehead and transferred the art.
Qianhui who got the art waited for some time for it to merge with her consciousness. When it was completely merged, she was astonished. 'He created this art in an hour!!!'
Seeing her surprised expression, Wang Lei nodded. He gave the art to everyone and told them that if they wanted to leave this island they could just fly off it. It was hidden so others will not find it. After that, he left the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and went towards the Xia Manor.
Reaching the Xia Manor, he looked for Qingyue and was surprised as she was in his room. He went towards his room and silently opened the door and looked inside. He saw Qingyue laying on his bed, sleeping. He silently went inside and lay beside her while hugging her from behind.
Qingyue who was sleeping felt someone hugging her from behind. Confused, she opened her eyes and looked behind and saw Wang Lei looking at her in the eyes. She, silently, kept looking towards him when she saw him lowering his head and kissed her. Her eyes went wide. She wanted to struggle out but Wang Lei hugged her even tighter. Her ċhėst was being squeezed with his ċhėst as he pushed his tongue, penetrating her defense, into her mouth, and started to explore it. "Mmghh~Mmghh~" Qingyue was mȯȧning in his mouth as he kept using his tongue skillfully.
After some time, he felt Qingyue struggling for breath and released her from the kiss with a trail of saliva that was connected with their lips.
Wang Lei licked his lips, "Thanks for the treat~"
Hearing him Qingyue came out of her hazy state and looked towards him who was smirking while ŀɨċkɨnġ his lips. She blushed and hide her face in his ċhėst.
Seeing that she was way too bashful, Wang Lei smiled and hugged her gently while slowly ċȧrėssing her hair and back.
Qingyue didn't say anything and closed her eyes. She felt calm and warm from his strokes on her back and slept.
Wang Lei seeing that she has slept also closed his eyes and started to sleep. He also transferred the complete art that he created in her mind before sleeping.
