Central Continent, the Sword King Sect.
The sword shadows stretching between heaven and earth slowly dissipated, and Ye Xiaoyao, who was under the sword shadows, slowly opened his eyes, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
“God Transformation Stage, I’ve finally been promoted,” said Ye Xiaoyao.
At this moment, Ye Xiaoyao was wearing the Taoist robes of the Sword King Sect, with the shadows of 360 spiritual swords surrounding him, slowly rotating around him.
“You’ve only just reached the God Transformation Stage, what are you so happy about?”
“Have you collected all the materials needed for refining Dao Artifact Spiritual Swords yet? How many of those 1,000 Tier 5 Treasure Swords have you found, and how many have you refined?”
Old Jian spoke from the depths of Ye Xiaoyao’s heart, disappointed that Ye Xiaoyao wasn’t achieving more.
“Old Jian, I’ve already tried my best. I’ve found 646 of the 1,000 Tier 5 Treasure Swords.’
“There’s still a long time to go, and I believe I’ll be able to use the most basic Ten Thousand Sword Array once I reach the Integration Stage.” Ye Xiaoyao sighed, feeling that Old Jian always seemed to attack him when he was most pleased with himself.
“Yes, there’s a lot of time left, but only if you want to become a minor True
Immortal in the Great Thousand World.’
“However, if you want to become a dominant figure in the Great Thousand World, you’d find that attaining immortality through merit right now would be the easiest path.” Old Jian leisurely stated to Ye Xiaoyao at the bottom of his heart.
“Easy? You call killing half the Demon Sovereigns of the Demon Clan easy?!” Ye Xiaoyao cried out inwardly, feeling similar to an underachiever who hears a top student say they scored full marks by casually writing.
“Such a thing can only happen once, and countless times.”
“Once you complete the first run, you’ll find the countless times that follow won’t be a problem.” Old Jian said.
Ye Xiaoyao was once again convinced by Old Jian.
“What’s our next step? Do we continue treasure hunting, or do we do some Elders Association tasks?”
Due to a fortunate coincidence, Ye Xiaoyao became an Outer Sect Member of the Elders Association and obtained the authority to accept and complete
Elders Association tasks. This was the reason Ye Xiaoyao advanced to the God Transformation Stage so quickly.
“Don’t worry, after stabilizing your cultivation level, I’ll pass you a few secret methods. Once we’re done, let’s go to the Demon World for a little adventure.” Old Jian said in Ye Xiaoyao’s heart.
“The Demon World…” Ye Xiaoyao’s expression instantly turned gloomy, remembering the last time they returned from the Demon World which had caused harm to a whole province of mortal cultivators.
Seeing Ye Xiaoyao’s expression, Old Jian knew what he was thinking.
“This is your Heart Demon. In this matter, you’re just a mere fuse, only advancing the situation slightly earlier.”
“If you feel guilty, then go kill your Demon Clan Master, the Giant Slaughter Demon Venerable.” Old Jian said.
When mentioning the Giant Slaughter Demon Venerable, Ye Xiaoyao wished he could tear him to pieces.
“Once I’ve practiced the secret techniques, I’ll go to the Demon World.” Ye Xiaoyao gritted his teeth as he spoke.
“Having a fighting spirit is good.”
Hidden Spirit Island, in the garden surrounding the Spiritual Liquid Waterfall.
A young girl in a red dress was feeding two auspicious Spirit Deer with spiritual grass whilst Li Xingci stood by her side.
“Why does this little deer look familiar?” Su Rentian wondered, thinking she had seen it somewhere in a Holy Land.
“This Cloud Flower Deer was subdued by my Master a long time ago, while the other one was an auspicious beast lured in by the Cloud Flower Deer.” Li Xingci explained.
“These two little auspicious beasts are so adorable; 1 also have one with me. Would you like me to summon it to make friends with yours?” Su Rentian asked, looking at the two deer munching on grass.
Upon hearing Su Rentian’s question, the Cloud Flower Deer looked up and nodded, rubbing its body against Su Rentian’s beautiful leg to signal agreement.
“My Little Black has been in the Dao Artifact Spirit Garden for quite some time now; I should let it out for some fresh air today.” Su Rentian laughed.
“Roarm
With a deafening roar, the sound wave spread across the entire Hidden Spirit Island.
“This is the Ink Jade Qilin, Little Black.” Su Rentian introduced it and touched Little Black’s knee.
As for why the knee, that’s because it was the only part he could reach. The two little auspicious beasts at the bottom of the food chain both raised their heads to look at their newly appeared friend.
“Mew, mew mew, mew mew mew mew.” Little Flower hurriedly mewed at Li Xingci.
“What’s the matter?”
Su Rentian looked at the somewhat anxious Cloud Flower Deer with some confusion.
“Little Flower is asking if this big guy will eat them.” Li Xingci said amusingly while looking at the fearful expressions of the two little auspicious beasts.
“Oh, I’ve already told Little Black; it won’t eat you.” Su Rentian chuckled while covering his mouth. His demeanor was beautiful, but it didn’t create any ripples in Li Xingci’s heart.
At this moment, a figure quickly approached them from a distance.
Qiu Ziyuan appeared beside the two.
“Elder Su, Peak Master Li.” Qiu Ziyuan greeted them with neither humility nor arrogance.
“Elder, are you going to keep this spiritual beast on Hidden Spirit Island in the future? Let me make arrangements for the feeding of the auspicious beasts.” Qiu Ziyuan inquired.
Seeing Qiu Ziyuan’s neither humble nor arrogant demeanor, a hint of astonishment flashed in Su Rentian’s eyes.
“For now, it’ll be kept on Hidden Spirit Island. As for feeding, just capture some demonic beasts from the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake.” Su Rentian said.
“Understood.’
Qiu Ziyuan immediately used his authority to arrange a team of tool puppets specifically to serve the Ink Jade Qilin, and also built a nest near the Spiritual Liquid Waterfall.
“Star Ci, there are quite a few talents in your sect, huh?” Su Rentian remarked after Qiu Ziyuan left.
“All the disciples of the sect are carefully chosen by Master. If you observe carefully, you will find that every single disciple will surely have amazing achievements in the future.” Li Xingci said.
“You have so much confidence in your sect.” Su Rentian laughed.
“If I give you a chance to join the core of the Elders Association, would you like to join?” Su Rentian asked further.
“No, 1 will always be with my Master wherever they are.” Li Xingci replied without even thinking.
“You might not know the benefits of becoming a core member of the Elders
Association. I am a core member, and I will certainly ascend to the Grand
World of Ten Thousand Immortals.’
“The Elders Association controls a region in the Great Thousand World, With
ten Great Golden Immortals in charge. After I ascend, I’ll be able to join them and become an official disciple.”
“They also provide cultivation resources in the Immortal World, which are enough to advance from Quasi-immortal to True Immortal.”
“With such benefits, don’t you want them?” Su Rentian looked at Li Xingci with eager and tempting eyes.
“Do you mean for me to leave the sect and join the Elders Association?” Li Xingci looked calmly at Su Rentian.
“l respect your wishes, but I want you to do it.”
Just now, Su Rentian had the demeanor of an elder, but he instantly turned into a young girl, looking a little uneasy at Li Xingci, as if frightened by his calm gaze.
It was like a school girl who had upset her crush with a few words, feeling uneasy and fearing that he would ignore her in the future.
“l appreciate your kindness, but the kindness and favor of my Master is as heavy as a mountain to me. I have sworn to serve by my Master’s side for the rest of my life.”
“As for the benefits you mentioned of ascending to the Grand World of Ten Thousand Immortals, becoming a Quasi-Immortal, a True Immortal, and such.’
“According to my Master’s words.”
“It’s too small.. The scale is too small
