Chapter 1410: Virtue Archives

Chapter 1410: Virtue Archives


People from Shenwu"s Sky could only be dealt with by other people from Shenwu"s Sky’s Junior Progenitor Planet. If anyone else tried to make a move against them, that person would be treated as though they were challenging the authority of Shenwu"s Sky.


n.o.body paid any attention to the old man, as they were all busy staring at Shang Qing. Since when had such a powerful individual appeared in the Middle Realm? This youth had managed to defeat Jin Feiyuan without suffering any injuries!


The purple-gold flames covering Jin Feiyuan had weakened considerably, and he looked very disheveled. He viciously asked, “Who are you? Where do you come from?”


Shang Qing ignored the defeated youth and watched as three women and one man approached him from the Junior Progenitor Planets.


These people were the representatives of the four Junior Progenitors, and they had been watching everything.


The Celestial Frost Sect’s representative was Yu Chen, Shenwu’s Sky’s was Xia Taili, the White Dragon Clan’s was Long Xi, and the w.a.n.g family’s was, surprisingly, w.a.n.g Dashuai.


Yu Chen, Xia Taili, and Long Xi slowly approached him. w.a.n.g Dashuai, however, peeked over at them before suddenly racing towards Shang Qing.


His actions surprised the onlookers; what was going on?


Shang Qing also watched w.a.n.g Dashuai with curiosity. The three girls were approaching him in an elegant and reserved manner, but this guy looked like he was in a footrace, and his words and actions completely ruined the atmosphere.


“Come here, brother! Follow me! I’ll take you to see w.a.n.g Su, our family’s Junior Progenitor! She’s a beauty, so come on! Follow me!” w.a.n.g Dashuai shouted enthusiastically.


The countless people who heard the fatty’s words were all left speechless; was this guy a salesman?


Shang Qing looked at the young man in a daze, not knowing how to react. He had been raised in Honor Mountain from a young age, and he had only ever interacted with well mannered people. He had never met anyone as uncouth as w.a.n.g Dashuai; even during his time in nest, no hoodlum had ever dared approach him.


The only person who acted like this that Shang Qing could think of was Lu Yin, who had refused Yuhua Mavis’s request for a fight in the Mountain and Seas Zone. That scene was very memorable to Shang Qing.


w.a.n.g Dashuai’s words and actions completely disrupted Yu Chen, Long Xi, and Xia Taili’s plans. Their expressions all changed; they would all look stupid if they continued to just slowly approach this new candidate.


Xia Taili rolled her eyes and leaped in front of Shang Qing. “Hey, the elder from Shenwu"s Sky’s Junior Progenitor Planet was the one who just helped you. Follow me to Shenwu"s Sky’s Junior Progenitor Planet. My brother will definitely acknowledge your strength.”


“The Purple-Gold Family follows under Shenwu"s Sky. If this person goes to Shenwu"s Sky Junior Progenitor Planet, then n.o.body knows how the Purple-Gold Family might act during the trip to the Dominion Realm. Or is Shenwu"s Sky willing to abandon Jin Feiyuan for this young man?” Yu Chen’s words left Xia Taili speechless.


The Purple-Gold Family had long since supported Shenwu"s Sky, and abandoning Jin Feiyuan would disappoint the clan. However, if they did not abandon him, then just as Yu Chen had said, n.o.body knew what Jin Feiyuan might do to Shang Qing. This was especially true since the elder from the Purple-Gold family had been the one who had attacked Shang Qing a moment ago, and Shang Qing would understandably feel a bit of animosity towards the clan.


Xia Taili glared at the elder from the Purple-Gold family. His attack had put her in a difficult situation. “Jin Feiyuan is Jin Feiyuan, and that old man’s actions can’t represent the entire Purple-Gold Family.”


Yu Chen smiled. “That will depend on what this young man thinks. Look, Jin Feiyuan already isn’t looking at this person in a friendly manner.”


Xia Taili turned to look at Jin Feiyuan.


Jin Feiyuan immediately dropped his head, but he was not able to hide the hatred within his eyes.


Xia Taili gritted her teeth; what an idiot!


Yu Chen’s words left Shenwu"s Sky with absolutely no chance of inviting Shang Qing to their team. Moreover, no matter how enthusiastically w.a.n.g Dashuai behaved, Shang Qing would never join the fatty given the drastic difference in their personality.


“The Celestial Frost Sect has numerous powerhouses, and you have both Dong Shan and Dong He, who are Enlighters, which means that both of them will definitely be sent to the Dominion Realm. In other words, you really only have two slots open for outsiders. Given the Celestial Frost Sect’s status in the Perennial World, the number of powerhouses that you’ve already invited certainly surpa.s.ses the other three powers’. It will be very difficult to fight for those two spots given the number of competing powerhouses,” Long Xi calmly stated.


Yu Chen laughed. “I heard that both Wan Wu and Nong Lie are interested in joining Junior Progenitor Long Tian, and both of them are also Enlighters. If we include you, Princess Long Xi, then doesn’t your clan only have one slot open for outsiders?”


Long Xi glanced over at Yu Chen. “I can give up my slot.”


Yu Chen had nothing to say to that.


In the end, Shang Qing still chose the Celestial Frost Sect. He had been the Hall of Honor’s First Honor Chosen in the Fifth Mainland, and he had been invincible among his peers. If not for Lu Yin, Shang Qing would have become the champion of ZENITH, and he felt that the only place that suited him in this universe was the Celestial Frost Sect. On top of that, Shang Qing hoped to find out if Bai Shaohong could defeat the Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique.


Shang Qing felt that he stood on the same level as the four Junior Progenitors. After all, Shang Qing was not fighting alone, but with the clones of Progenitor Chen and Progenitor Hui.


w.a.n.g Dashuai whined, “I was so enthusiastic about inviting him, but he still rejected me! Is it because I’m too handsome and he feels inferior? That’s got to be it.”


Long Xi glanced towards the Celestial Frost Sect’s Junior Progenitor Planet before returning to the bridge.


Xia Taili stomped her foot and grumbled to herself. Not only was she upset about the fact that Shang Qing had gone to the Celestial Frost Sect Junior Progenitor Planet, but she was also annoyed that Yu Chen had completely overwhelmed her in this verbal battle. Xia Taili had not had a chance to rebut anything that Yu Chen had said.


Jin Feiyuan stood up and bowed to Xia Taili. “I was too careless this time, but I definitely won’t lose to him in the future.”


Xia Taili turned around and glared. “Nonsense! You’ll never be able to defeat him.”


Jin Feiyuan wanted to say something else, but Xia Taili dismissively waved a hand. “Never mind. Just recuperate here and go to meet with my brother after you’ve recovered. Don’t make any more problems for him, ok?”


She then turned around and returned to the bridge.


Jin Feiyuan felt offended, and another thin stream of blood trickled down the corner of his mouth. As he reflected on the battle with Shang Qing, Jin Feiyuan could not understand why his attacks had been completely ineffective against his opponent.


The elder from the Purple-Gold Family approached, his face still pale. “Young Master, let’s return to Hope Restaurant. We will go meet Shenwu"s Sky’s Junior Progenitor after you’ve recuperated.”


Jin Feiyuan gritted his teeth. “Just you wait! I won’t be defeated so easily!”


He made his way back towards Hope Restaurant.


At this time, Lu Yin had finally reached the Middle Ocean while riding the back of Gui.


The Middle Ocean encircled the entire Middle Realm, so it covered an enormous area.


Due to the incident regarding Long Qi’s connection to Semi-Progenitor Kui Luo, Long Kui was worried that people would intercept them along their journey. Fortunately, they had not met anybody, but his communication crystal kept vibrating as they traveled.


Lu Yin became very curious as to just how many secrets Semi-Progenitor Kui Luo had discovered over the years; why else was everybody so riled up? There were also certain people who were interested in uncovering others’ secrets.


“Didn’t you say that Semi-Progenitor Kui Luo already exposed all of the secrets that he uncovered? If so, why are there still so many people trying to find out about the secrets now?” Lu Yin asked, curious.


Long Kui felt annoyed. “He didn’t reveal everything. Before he died, he announced that he had hidden many secrets all over the Perennial World and that they might be discovered at any time. This is why many people have searched for them over the years and endlessly a.n.a.lyzed Kui Luo’s journeys. Despite that, n.o.body has found anything yet.”


“Could it have just been a scam?” Lu Yin guessed.


Long Kui answered, “I’m pretty sure that it was a lie. If not, it wouldn’t make sense for there to be absolutely nothing after all these years, especially since some Semi-Progenitors have also searched around.”


Lu Yin smiled. He had become very curious about Semi-Progenitor Kui Luo, who had created trouble for the entire Perennial World. The man really had been insane. Lu Yin could not understand why anyone would do such a thing, but if the man really had been insane, then he might have just done it all for fun.


“Huh? Jin Feiyuan lost. It looks like a few more hidden elites just revealed themselves,” Long Kui commented.


“Jin Feiyuan?” Lu Yin asked.


Long Kui explained, “He’s the heir to the Purple-Gold Family. They’re a faction under Shenwu"s Sky, and the clan is quite powerful as they have a purple-gold Undying Bird that can be reborn.”


A phoenix? Lu Yin nearly asked aloud.


“Someone easily defeated Jin Feiyuan, and then they chose to go to the Celestial Frost Sect’s Junior Progenitor Planet? It looks like the Celestial Frost Sect really is the most appealing team,” Long Kui said. He then continued, adding on, “According to the princess, you can go to the Junior Progenitor Planet, but you are not to go to the Dominion Realm, as that place is too dangerous. Furthermore, you might encounter Bai Shaohong in the Dominion Realm, so the princess said that you shouldn’t become an Enlighter no matter what, even if doing so might offend the Junior Progenitor.”


Lu Yin nodded. “Alright.”


“After you arrive at the Junior Progenitor Planet, people will definitely challenge you because of your connection to Semi-Progenitor Kui Luo. Just ignore them and go straight to the Junior Progenitor Planet, as n.o.body will be able to do anything to you there.”


Lu Yin replied, “Don’t worry, you can definitely trust me.”


Long Kui paused; those words sounded awfully familiar. He remembered that Long Qi had said the exact same thing before joining Humility"s Gate. However, many incidents had happened after that, and even the supervisor of the Middle Realm’s nine gates had gotten involved.


Jin Feiyuan was busy resting on the top floor of Hope Restaurant for several days, and he had already recovered from most of his injuries.


“Young Master, someone from Virtue Archives is here,” the elder from the Purple-Gold Family murmured.


Jin Feiyuan turned to look at the entrance to the seventh floor.


A man in a white robe was walking towards them with a book in his hand and a smile on his face. While this man was not very handsome, his disposition somehow put people at ease. His eyes also gave off a strange sense of pressure.


Only people who were accompanied by Envoys were allowed to step onto the seventh floor, but n.o.body moved to stop this man.


Many people on the lower floors started talking about the man, “That’s him! Virtue Archives’s Wen Diyi!”


“I didn’t expect to see someone from the Virtue Archives come here. I thought that they didn’t get involved in anything concerning the four ruling powers.”


“This isn’t just about the four ruling powers—this involves the Dominion Realm! Who doesn’t want to become a Progenitor?’


“But I’ve never heard anything about someone from the Virtue Archives joining a team. I think that this has to be the first time.”


Jin Feiyuan looked at the man who had just stepped onto the seventh floor. He frowned and asked, “Doesn’t the Virtue Archives say that one can become a Progenitor by arriving at the end of learning? Have you realized that they’re mistaken? Is that why you’re planning to go explore the Dominion Realm?”


The man dressed in white stood with his hands clasped behind his back and smiled. “The academy’s sage indeed once said that one can become a Progenitor through studying, but is there truly an end to learning? Writings exist when there are humans, so who could ever truly finish studying? Sigh, illiterate people are so scary.”
