The rest of the Transcendents came and went away, with the exceptions being Chi Qiu Bai and Tan Shi. The two of them, one being the the strongest human expert within the Saint rankings, were temporarily living at Snowrock Castle. As for the excuse they used… it was for the protection of Xue Ying!

Early in the morning.

Dong Bo Lie and his wife, Dong Bo Xue Ying, Qing Shi, Zong Ling and Tong San were eating breakfast together.

“Father, I’d like hear your thoughts about this.” Xue Ying asked. He told them about the advantages and disadvantages of joining the various big organisations.

“Regarding the matter about joining the Transcendent organisations, why are you even wanting to listen to our suggestions?” Dong Bo Lie replied, “We are not that knowledgeable about Transcendent matters. Ultimately, you should just choose based on what you think is the best and appropriate for you. There’s no need to involve us in your decision.”

Mo Yang Yu continued, “That’s right. Our Dong Bo Clan only has this many people. We even feel the lack of manpower in managing the entire territory of Water Rites Town, much less to say about being in charge of Azure River County.”

“Be rest assured. I’m sure there would be enough helping hands on the side of Dragon Mountain Manor.” Xue Ying laughed.

“Still, as I was saying, you should just choose whichever organisation you think is most appropriate.” Dong Bo Lie quipped. Zong Ling, Tong San and Qing Shi all agreed with him. Clearly, they did not want their thoughts to affect Xue Ying’s decision… After all, the matters regarding Transcendents would be a matter of great importance.

Xue Ying lightly nodded, “If that’s the case, then I’ll be going with Water Daoist Faction!”

“Water Daoist Faction?” Dong bo Lie had some doubts.

“Why?” Qing Shi asked curiously, “Brother, didn’t you say that judging based on the secret techniques an organisation has, Temple of the Earth God and Bloodshed Tavern would have the most powerful ones. And if it was judged based on the treasures given, wouldn’t the Black White Deity Mountain be dominant in that area?”

Xue Ying nodded in agreement.

The founders of Black White Deity Mountain… were two relatively powerful Transcendent mages! Thus, there would naturally be more mages within Black White Deity Mountain, leading to an attraction for even more mages to join them! Thus, there were large amounts of powerful Transcendent weapons and arrays refined by them, attracting even quite a few Transcendent knights. After all, they would be able to obtain many Transcendent weapons at a low price.

The Black White Deity Mountain controlled six provinces, with Mountain Lord He being deemed as the number one under the heavens.

“The Temple of the Earth God and Bloodshed Tavern have too many regulations, and that isn’t suitable for me.” Xue Ying laughed, “As for the other four great organisations, they did not have much disparities in terms of conditions. Since I hail from the Tranquil Sun Province, it would be more appropriate for me to join Water Daoist Faction! Furthermore, Eternal Wind Knight, Chi Qiu Bai from the Water Daoist Faction treats me quite well.”

In the afternoon.

Xue Ying, Chi Qiu Bai and Tan Shi were all seated within the pavilion. As for Manor Lord Yi Hong, he was actually standing off to the side, busying himself with pouring tea for the rest. He was clearly used to serving Transcendents.

“You’ve chosen Water Daoist Faction?” That lion-man, Tan Shi widened his eyes, before slapping on his thigh, “What a pity. Truly a pity that you did not join our Water-Deity Palace.”

“Your Water-Deity Temple already didn’t have much hopes in the beginning right?” Chi Qiu Bai smiled as he was feeling quite good. “My Water Daoist Faction has never viewed you guys as our rivals.”

Tan Shi curled his lips, “Look at you, so proud right now.”

“Xue Ying.” Chi Qiu Bai called him quite familiarly, “From today onwards, we can be considered as brothers. You can just call me Brother Eternal Wind.”

“This…” Xue Ying hesitated.

This was because he understood the rules within the four great Transcendent organisations.

Legend rankers were disciples!

Sky Realm Transcendents were protectors.

Saint Realms would be considered as Elders.

Demigods would be considered as the peak. Even if they were not the head of the Transcendent organisation, they would still be a Great Elder, a Venerable Elder, a Deputy Mountain Lord, or a Deputy Overlord, and other positions of similar status.

Thus, in any ordinary circumstances, Xue Ying would still have to call him ‘Elder Chi’ or ‘Elder Eternal Wind’.

Calling him Brother Eternal Wind would be considerably arrogant on his part. After all, he was the top ranker within the Saint rankings! He had, after all, killed Demigods from the Transcendent worlds and defeated the Demigod Ghost Deity Knight ‘Feng Dong’!

“Don’t be so wishy-washy. The transcendents in the Water Daoist Faction mostly come from the five provinces in the north. As for us belonging to the same Tranquil Sun province, it is natural for us to be closer.” Chi Qiu Bai laughed, “Adding you, our Tranquil Sun province has a total of ten Transcendents! Amongst us, Old Peng and me are Saints. The rest are at the Sky Realm. I have a high expectation of you, or rather, I should say, everyone under the heavens has high expectations of you. As long as you do not slack off, stepping into the Saint Realm should not be a problem. When that time comes, our Tranquil Sun province would have three Saint rankers. And for us who hail from Tranquil Sun Province, we are like brothers under the same family, thus there’s no need to be so polite.”

Demigod?

Nobody would dare to say who would become one. A demigod had a lifespan of three thousand years, yet within the history of Water Daoist Faction, there had only been two! Like that Elder Lei Zhen from before, he had quite the fortune with the Stone of Oceanic World treasure in his possession, yet he failed in the end, dying before he succeeded. Similar cases were too frequent.

Only those who were like Chi Qiu Bai, who could become the top ranker within Saint rankings at such a young age, would be considered as having a huge probability of stepping through to the Realm of Demigod.

“Brother Eternal Wind.” Xue Ying still did not carelessly shout out Eternal Wind as his brother.

“You brat.” Chi Qiu Bai laughed, before casually flipping his hands. Within it appeared three wristbands. One was black, and the other two were white. “This is a Transcendent refiner communicative wristband. I shall be giving you this black one! The other two white coloured wristbands are considered as ordinary communicative wristbands. You can leave them with your family, thus allowing you to communicate with them in the future! This type of white wristband is quite cheap, with just one-half kilogrammes of Origin Stones being able to exchange for five. If you need more of these, you can purchase them yourself.”
