Day Thirty-Six.
With a disposition akin to a tortoise, ng Yu erged from his cave dwelling and, accompanied by a group of Golden Cores, made his way to the Teleportation Array.
Many were already waiting at the Teleportation Array—in respectful salutation towards the green-haired lady leading the group, Master Lihua and Master Taohua then stood by ng Yu's side.
ng Yu knew her, of course; in fact, he had t with her over the past few days—one of the three great Nascent Souls of the Wood Elent, a Fourth Rank divine tree.
A thread of Divine Sense locked onto ng Yu as the Nascent Soul Master stood beside him, her gaze sharp yet tender, enveloping one in warmth of being loved and protected.
A flash of white light, and ng Yu, along with the Golden Cores, appeared atop the Supre Star. The Nascent Soul by his side nodded; she risked danger by suppressing her cultivation to accompany him. From Qingfeng Star to Supre Star, should anyone wish to transport ng Yu away alone, she would be the ultimate safeguard.
Then, two more figures appeared before ng Yu—the other two Nascent Souls of the Wood Elent!
This ti, to safeguard ng Yu's journey from Qingfeng Star to Supre Star, all three Wood Elent Nascent Souls were mobilized!
As for the reason, ng Yu had granted too much face to the Wood Elent on this occasion.
These three, enjoying the offerings and support of the Wood lineage, also had to shoulder responsibilities.
Now was the critical mont to stand united, hence despite the usual discord and covert struggles, they stood shoulder to shoulder at this mont.
Not only did they need to vie for the greatest benefit for the Wood Elent, but the Immortal Sect's recent actions had also thoroughly disgusted the three Nascent Souls!
Upon their return, Master Lihua clearly inford the three Nascent Souls that this was a great opportunity. "We can't disclose the details, but please rest assured, Esteed Ancestors, this chance is indeed a major boon for our Wood Elent's prosperity!"
"ng Yu asks for a hundred people; we shall provide a hundred. For those brothers and sisters, for those Golden Cores trapped in their realms, this is their chance. Please check our Divine Souls and Cultivation (since it's unreliable to check bone age, with countless bizarre reasons due to Immortal Sect cultivation leading to age discrepancies), we two are willing to wager our entire Sect's assets to ensure personal safety insurance for everyone!"
Moreover, we have only a month or two of this window. Once it passes, ng Yu might cease negotiations at any ti, for neither the Moon-Watching Sect nor the Western Wastes impacts his personal cultivation. He's currently deeply committed, but once the Moon-Watching Sect overcos this storm, he might well close the doors to new shares.
Why should he risk it to share this opportunity with others?
He's not a mortal with only decades to live; sooner or later, he'd beco a Nascent Soul Master with a millennium to leisurely deal with this!
Convinced by Master Taohua and Master Lihua, another Nascent Soul shalessly ca forward, declaring it was ti for solidarity amongst good sisters!
Within the five Energies and Five ridians of the Immortal Sect, the Wood Elent is abundant in Yin yet lacking in Yang, with all three Nascent Souls being female. After (lip service) harmonious discussion, they proposed to ng Yu that they could contribute a hundred Golden Cores and even Nascent Souls could offer help.
The future is infinitely bright; the Wood Elent is destined to thrive!
However, the Immortal Sect brazenly interceded!
The number of a hundred increased to three hundred. Initially, the Immortal Sect had divided all slots amongst the Five Flowers. Now, the calculation changed, with every mber of the Wood Elent having a share—they couldn't object nor say the Immortal Sect's actions were unacceptable. They had to express resolute support for the Immortal Sect's decision, pretending this was what they had wanted all along!
For hindering one's path is the deepest enmity, and unity within the Wood Elent is needed now more than ever. Despite the greater good lying within their grasp, enriching their lineage ant elevating the whole; dissent would only breed offense, and ng Yu wouldn't support that.
Of course, the most nauseating part was that the Immortal Sect prohibited them from going!
Damn bastards!
The Tea Fairy, Bamboo Fairy, and Lotus Fairy—the three Nascent Souls—nodded at each other and stood nearby, guarding ng Yu.
No matter what, this ti the Wood Elent reaped the greatest benefit. Would the other lineages go mad with jealousy and cause sabotage?
Often, the sight of a friend's prosperity is more agonizing than one's own loss.
The procession continued onward and then took their seats.
On this beautiful and sunny day, in front of the Fifth Order Divine Artifact Moon God's true form, ng Yu and the Immortal Sect's Nascent Souls, Divine Beasts, and Divine Artifacts chatted rrily.
ng Yu, who had always been as steady and timid as a tortoise, finally stepped out of his shell and onto the Supre Star where the masters of the Immortal Sect could exert their full powers—a place where they could squash him as easily as an ant, yet he was relaxed and in extrely good spirits.
ng Yu had the courage to step forward when it mattered, especially now that he had the full support of the three Nascent Souls from the Wood Elent, under the watchful eyes of countless Golden Cores from the Immortal Sect. In light of this, why wouldn't he dare to stand up?
Now, in front of the Immortal Sect's Fifth Order Divine Artifact Moon God, three hundred Golden Cores stood, male and female alike, each with resolute expressions.
They were here today to sign a contract with the Moon God, entrusting a thread of their spirit from their Three Souls and Seven Spirits to the Moon God's keeping, while also signing a life-and-death contract stipulating that if they did not return to dissolve the agreent within two years, their Divine Souls would shatter and et doom.
Such contracts are strongly discouraged by the Immortal Sect, and given the Golden Cores' pride, anyone asking them to sign such a contract would either face direct rebellion or a lawsuit, awaiting the final outco.
Even if sent to the front lines or behind enemy lines, they would never agree!
But today, three hundred Golden Core practitioners were signing contracts one after another.
This kind of contract required the full and sincere consent of the Golden Core practitioners, and they were smoothly completing the signatures. Those who finished would then enter a sealed box manufactured by the Fourth Weapon Manufacturing Group. ng Yu personally placed them into his storage bag to prevent any accidents or smuggling.
Indeed, the supervision of smuggling at the scene was in the hands of three Wood Elent Nascent Soul Ancestors. The Fifth Order Divine Artifact Moon God was present on-site, and other divine artifacts and divine beasts were also in attendance, checking on the situations of these Golden Core practitioners.
They were afraid that other Nascent Souls or divine artifacts might infiltrate and run amok in the Western Wastes, accomplishing great feats!
Yes, the main point was you three Wood Elent Nascent Souls, and the Wood Elent Nascent Soul Ancestors were also on guard against others!
Who was most impacted by ng Yu's proposal for Golden Core practitioners from the small county city to go work abroad?
It was the five big shots of Cheng Guan Town!
If locally raised cattle and horses were going out to work, should we not stop them, lest we cannot recruit anyone for low wages in the future?
Migrant workers must be organized by us, under what pretext?
If they co back with a high salary, how do we tax (rob) them fairly?
What if they beco prosperous abroad and don't return? The Immortal Sect's hard-earned cattle and horses can't just run off!
What if they do beco prosperous, co back, but what if they return driving luxury cars, even with weapons in tow?
Important words are to be said three tis!
ng Yu never suggested the Golden Core practitioners entrust their divine souls to the Moon God! ng Yu never suggested the Golden Core practitioners entrust their divine souls to the Moon God! ng Yu never suggested the Golden Core practitioners entrust their divine souls to the Moon God!
This was the Immortal Sect's decision!
ng Yu made it very clear to everyone, you are going to work, you are saving and helping , you are my brothers and sisters, how could I treat you like cattle and horses, like slaves, and have you wear collars around your necks?
What Master Lihua and Fairy Taohua and I said truly happened, but even when they went before, I never placed any restrictions on them!
I only hope everyone can give a proper guarantee!
ng Yu's despicable and shaless deceitfulness was extre and reached such a degree that it nauseated the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect!
Because entrusting the soul to the Moon God was exactly what ng Yu wanted, but when the mont ca, ng Yu pretended to be the good guy, and the Immortal Sect was forced to play the villain!
Because of the asymtry of information, the benefits gained by Master Lihua, Fairy Taohua, and Cai Hua scared the Immortal Sect.
Of course, ng Yu had to be added to that list.
His strength desperately increased, but nobody knew how. Then, after the three returned, a day was equal to a year, which led everyone to a sudden realization, ah, that's how it is, his opportunity was there, he encountered events that required cultivation over there.
Although ng Yu emphasized many tis that Master Lihua and Fairy Taohua had rely encountered an accident during their day out, which led to their near year-long progress in a day, the upper tier of the Immortal Sect was still fraught with worry. What if ng Yu stayed in the Western Wastes with the three hundred Wood Elent Golden Core practitioners for three years, which is a thousand days, and upon their return, each would have increased their cultivation by a thousand years? Then would three hundred Nascent Souls be able to sweep through Supre Star and hang all the honorable council mbers?
Sotis, it's not because you are disloyal that you are killed, but because you have the power to rebel!
It's safe to say that if ng Yu wasn't clever enough to publicly recruit people, causing the Immortal Sect to have no argunts and unable to make a move – after all, ng Yu was very clear, he and everyone would split the profits fifty-fifty, and he would never shortchange anyone – then it's quite possible that the Immortal Sect's upper echelon would have controlled ng Yu at all costs from the very beginning!
ng Yu truly might shake the foundation of the Immortal Sect.
But even so, the Golden Core practitioners of the Immortal Sect must work abroad in a controlled and orderly manner!
Therefore, what should have been a suggestion by ng Yu, limiting these people's thods, now had to be carried out by the Immortal Sect, which even had to co up with the best and most reasonable asures, reluctantly involving the Moon God, resulting in the current situation where the Immortal Sect had to play the role of the villain.
After entrusting a strand of divine sense, an incomplete divine soul cannot achieve Nascent Soul status except in life-threatening situations!
Even though the Golden Core practitioners were talked to one by one and expressed understanding of the Immortal Sect's difficult position, knowing the tricks played by ng Yu, and that ng Yu wouldn't take them without doing so, stating that ng Yu was putting on a show and they were voluntarily participating and so forth, everyone was still displeased, but they endured it.
The competition is fierce!
You can choose not to go, you can change your mind at any ti, but you must also understand one thing – nurous people are watching you like a hawk, ready to take your place.
"Alas, it's my limited ability that prevents from taking more people with , I truly apologize."
By ng Yu's side were those influential figures, among them Nascent Soul masters, divine artifacts, and divine beasts. Then, he chatted and laughed with everyone, looking like old friends.
