Chapter 167 (2/2)

I still need another 5000 kilograms of Origin Stone to solidify my cultivation at the Saint realm. I need to ensure that I have it prepared, thought Xue Ying.

The cost of improving a Primordial Bloodline was extremely high and the difficulty level was immense, such that an improvement was nearly impossible. After having successfully completed the Hundred-Battle Chamber challenge, Xue Ying had enough resources to wantonly absorb Origin Stones, increasing his power and breaking through to the Saint Transcendent realm. However, he did not dare to think about trying to use Origin Stones to improve his Primordial Bloodline.

…

Spring, year 9663, early morning.

Numerous people passed through the world door that was located on a majestic and high mountain outside of the Xia Capital.

“Disciple brother Dong Bo.”

“Congratulations, congratulations! Disciple brother Dong Bo is so young and has already become a Saint Transcendent. You’ve really made people envious and jealous,” they said upon greeting him.

In the middle of the sky.

Some Transcendents flying in the sky had brought their family members, waiting to pass through the world door to return home. While they waited, they also greeted others.

Within half a month, news about Xue Ying becoming a Saint Transcendent had already spread. This news surprised many Xia Capital Transcendents and many of them marveled at Xue Ying’s prowess. He was so young. Even though he had become a Transcendent in his twenties, what really made people marvel was that he was also able to become Saint Transcendent prior to reaching sixty years of age. This fact caused many of those old fellows stuck at the Sky realm for hundreds of years to be unable to bear their chagrin.

“We’ll start now. The Water Daoist Faction may enter,” Palace Head Chen from Infernal Palace stood beside the world door, personally taking charge.

Today, all Legend rank mages and knights, Transcendents under the Demigod rank would, without exception, have to go out into the Xia World! This requirement was a huge matter and definitely couldn’t be affected by the demons.

Hua, hua, hua…

Numerous Legend rankers from Water Daoist Faction entered the door.

“Everyone, I will go first. If there’s time, find me at Azure River County,” said Xue Ying, waving goodbye to his friends. These friends were Transcendents with whom he had taken the same missions and faced dangerous battles together. Some were even fellow disciples from Scarlet Cloud Mountain.

“Jing Qiu, let’s go,” together with Jing Qiu, Xue Ying took their family members and flew towards the world door.

Numerous figures passed through the world door.

Xue Ying and Yu Jing Qiu also took their family members and flew through the world door.

“How lively.”

At the Dragon Mountain Empire’s northmost Great Snowy Plain, the Water Daoist Faction, that was usually quiet, was really lively that early morning from the arrival of the many Legend rankers and Transcendents.

“Everyone.”

A vigorous voice resounded throughout whole daoist temple.

Everyone raised their head to looked at an azure-robed man who exuded a powerful pressure. He was the Faction Head, Si Kong Yang.

“Starting tomorrow, Transcendent and Legend rankers must comply with the order to chase and kill demons,” Si Kong Yang continued. “All of you should use today to prepare. There are two hours left before you need to be ready. You can use this time to exchange secret techniques, weapons, and other treasures. After the next two hours, our Water Daoist Faction will send you out. Okay, begin preparing.”

“Understood,” All the Transcendents and Legend rankers answered respectfully while their family members held their breaths, not daring to make any sounds. That invisible pressure from Si Kong Yang was too frightening.

Transcendents and Legend rankers exchanged items they deemed necessary whilst their family members temporarily rested inside the daoist temple.

Since it was inevitable that they would fight with demons while tracking them in the future, it was natural that they would exchange contribution points for things that could add to their personal strength. As for people who regarded their clans highly, they also needed to exchange items and contribution points for powerful arrays for their clan’s protection.

“I will set aside 50,000 contribution points and the rest will be exchanged for a weapon and magic arrays,” Xue Ying had already decided earlier how he would divvy up his earned points. “I will also exchange an additional 50,000 contribution points for more Origin Stones!”

“Ancestor Dragon, Ancestor Sparrow, I want to exchange my points for a Demigod weapon,” Xue Ying spoke in a manner such that other than his intended listeners, those surrounding him were unable to hear his request.

The Weaponry Pavilion only had Human and Saint rank weapons.

As for a Demigod weapon? Such a precious item was kept in a place known only to a select few.

Those who had not yet reached the Saint realm were not even eligible to look at Demigod items.

“Not bad, brat. Last time when old dragon and I first met you, you had just become a Transcendent. Now, after such a short time, you are already a Saint Transcendent and even have enough contribution points for a Demigod weapon?” The Water Daoist Faction spirit, Ancestor Sparrow’s voice sounded in Xue Ying’s ear. “Fine, I will take you there.”
