Chapter 95 (1/2)

The big, tall knight who was wearing bronze armour had a face that looked similar to that of a sculpture. Looking towards the direction of Dark Night Sword Devil ‘Tu Liang’ who had already vanished, he coldly snorted before looking towards Xue Ying. Smiling, he said, “I am Wen Liang from the Temple of the Earth God.”

Saint rankings number twenty-one: Water-Deity Knight Wen Liang, Knight of the Temple of the Earth God, comprehended the ‘True Meaning of Water’.

Xue Ying was breathless.

Wen Liang? Yet another expert who was ranked upon the Saint rankings? One must know that amongst the entire human race, Transcendent World Aborigines, and beasts, only a total of thirty were ranked in the Saint rankings.

“My Temple of the Earth God has the richest resources. Many unique cultivation methods are passed down from the Deity world, with only those who belong to the inner circle of our Temple of the Earth God allowed to cultivate them.” The Water-Deity Knight Wen Liang laughed, “Thus, if you look at this from a wider perspective, my Temple of the Earth God and Bloodshed Tavern’s total combat power would be greater than the rest by a whole level. But of course, if you were to consider the number one ranker on the Saint rankings – Eternal Wind Knight Chi Qiu Bai, it was purely because he has a great innate perception. Yet the method that he currently cultivates could never be compared to those we have.”

“This is the item list.” Similarly, Wen Liang threw out a glowing-red paper towards Xue Ying, “Since you could comprehend both the Water and Flames of Myriad Existences… you are much more powerful than what our intelligence reported. Thus, the precious resources written on top can be decided by me, increasing by half of what it was initially.”

“I’ll remain here in the Azure River County for the next ten days. If you decided to join my Temple of the Earth God, just tear that piece of paper, and I’ll be informed.”

Xue Ying took that piece of paper, looking at the conditions written on top.

“I’ll leave first.” Wen Liang lightly nodded, before suddenly rushing up and disappearing into the night sky.

“These two Saint ranked experts came quickly and left quickly as well.” Xue Ying looked towards the two item lists. One was the conditions given by the Temple of the Earth God and the other by the Bloodshed Tavern.

On the list from Bloodshed Tavern–

One could freely choose any Transcendent weapon with a total worth of, at most, 15 kilograms of third-grade Origin Stones.

Pick one amongst the five Deity-Grade secret killing techniques.

Choose any Qi cultivation methods.

One hundred and fifty kilograms worth of third-grade Origin Stones.

On the list from the Temple of the Earth God —

One could freely choose any Transcendent weapon with a total worth of, at most, 25 kilograms of third-grade Origin Stones.

Pick one amongst the ten Deity-Grade secret techniques.

Choose any cultivation Qi methods.

One hundred and fifty kilograms worth of third-grade Origin Stone.

…

Xue Ying went back inside the castle and sat upon his bed before lightly nodding as he looked at the papers, “It is actually a Deity-Grade secret technique! How desirable. What a pity that the regulations of both Temple of the Earth God and Bloodshed Tavern are much stricter.”

As for Transcendent weapons, Origin Stones, …

Xue Ying did not care about these!

To a Transcendent, Origin Stones were extremely important as it could help increase one’s cultivation speed by a huge margin! For instance, cultivating from Sky Realm beginning stage all the way to Saint Realm beginning stage, not counting the possibilities of bottlenecks, just simply measuring the amount of required energy accumulation… if one were to only absorb the energy from the World, one would require approximately 700 years of time! Yet a Sky Realm Transcendent only had a total lifespan of 800 years.

But of course, in order to breakthrough, comprehending the different Realms would be more important!

“Origin Stones are indeed important, but Elder Lei Zhen had prepared a large amount of such stones that year when he tried to breakthrough to Demigod. Even though he used up a large amount, there is still over 1500 kilograms worth leftover.” Xue Ying thought, other than the Stone of Oceanic World and a protective inner vest, this Elder Lei Zhen exchanged all the treasures he attained over his entire life-time for more Origin Stones.

He exchanged up to more than 5000 kilograms worth for the sake of breaking through to Demigod, and despite using more than half, there were still many stones remaining.

One thousand five hundred kilograms of Origin Stones. One must know that to a Saint Realm peak expert, or an old freak who put his life in peril while spending a large amount of time trying to gather more stones, or the relatively powerful expert like Chi Qiu Bai, or the odd yet ordinary peak Saint Realm experts, usually, the worth of all their treasures pooled together would not be more than 1500 kilograms of Origin Stones.

Normally, the ‘Origin Stones’ one frequently saw would be classified as third-grade.

With so many Origin Stones with him, Xue Ying, of course, felt rich and powerful. Thus, he would attach a greater value to cultivation methods and secret techniques!

Bloodshed Tavern and Temple of the Earth God’s Deity-Grade secret techniques were all passed down from the Deity World and were absolutely barred from being shared with outsiders. They were the strongest secret techniques under the heavens. Unless one joined these two organisations, or that one joined the Demonic Faction, one would never be able to learn any of these Deity-Grade secret techniques.

“But the rules and regulations are too strict, making me uneasy!” Xue Ying immediately decided, “I’ll temporarily put these two organisations on hold.”

The more proud a person was, the less likely they would like being bounded by rules!

Regardless of whether it was the number one expert on the Saint rankings, Chi Qiu Bai, or the number one expert on the Demigod rankings, ‘Mountain Lord He’, neither of them belonged to the Temple of the Earth God nor the Bloodshed Tavern.

How could these magnificent and peerless characters be willing to get shackled by rules?

As the night passed.

It was dawn the next day. Tranquil Sun Province, Dragon Mountain Manor, Manor Lord ‘Yi Hong’ came to find Xue Ying.

Within the pavilion…

The two of them were seated face-to-face.

“Sir Dong Bo, you are making me suffer.” Yi Hong said helplessly, “I just found out from a source yesterday night that you displayed both Flame and Water of Myriad Existences in the Eastfields Province, Bellfeather County?”
