Chapter 155: Chapter 130: Human World (Request for Monthly Tickets)

Wuzhou.

Zhenwu Temple.

Inside the Zhenwu Hall.

"Ancestor Master."

The three remaining top-tier Heavenly Persons bowed respectfully to the elder sitting backward on a donkey.

"Ancestor Master, the barrier has been in an unstable state, interfering with our detection of martial arts talents at the treasure bone level and above... There have been cases of martial arts talents of treasure bone level being discovered by those martial arts forces everywhere. How should we handle this?"

The leading top-tier Heavenly Person, the newly appointed head of Zhenwu Temple, Master Guang Yang, hurriedly asked.

"Talents above the treasure bone level must not fall into the hands of those martial arts forces, otherwise, it’s a complete waste of their potential... Moreover, after the big blunder last time, the higher-ups are extremely furious. Even I have suffered a setback. If the number of talents above the treasure bone level we send over significantly decreases, the status of our three factions may indeed be in jeopardy."

The elder sighed and said, "No matter what methods you use, you must find these treasure bone level talents who have been scattered. Moreover, this barrier, I’m not sure if it can still be restored. We need to establish a new method for collecting treasure bone level talents."

"Yes, Ancestor Master."

The three top-tier Heavenly Persons quickly took orders.

They knew the real situation, and despite their three factions looking strong in Dachang...they could easily be replaced with a slight misstep.

Chen Bell Platform.

Li Qian glanced at Xiao Hei, who was munching on Spirit Fish Meat Dried in a tree.

Its size had become quite large.

Probably weighing no less than a hundred pounds.

If it continues to grow like this, it could even carry people in flight.

Thankfully, after its mutation, Xiao Hei did not have any other anomalies, was very close to him, and quite human-like, seemingly a bit smarter than before.

Of course, it was still very silly.

At this moment, his master returned from the bottom of the mountain.

"Master, what’s made you so happy?"

Li Qian saw the old man coming back with his hands clasped behind his back, humming a tune, and asked curiously.

"Isn’t it the recruitment period recently? Apart from a jade bone talent, we’ve also discovered an extremely rare treasure bone level talent..."

Master Zhou Buping said.

"Treasure bone level talent?"

Li Qian exclaimed in surprise: "Isn’t jade bone supposed to be the pinnacle of Root Bone?"

To his knowledge, Root Bone was divided into five levels: Mortal Bone, Copper Bone, Silver Bone, Golden Bone, and Jade Bone, with each beyond Copper Bone further divided into three grades: lower, middle, and upper.

Mortal Bone represents extremely poor aptitude for cultivation, with no hope for breaking through.

Copper Bone indicates a hope for advancement.

He used to be at the middle grade of Copper Bone.

As for Silver Bone...with a bit of effort, breaking through is easy, but to become an Innate Martial Artist would be more elusive, often requiring the help of an Innate Pill.

To become a true martial arts talent, one must reach Golden Bone.

Those who can become Innate are basically at the Golden Bone level.

As for Jade Bone...

It’s said to be the potential of a Heavenly Person.

"Of course not, jade bone can only be said to be the limit of mortals... It’s just that until now, treasure bone level talents have only existed in legends and never been seen..."

Master Zhou Buping shook his head and said: "This type of Root Bone... is comparable to Perfect Innate. They are the true pride of the heavens."

Perfect Innate still requires postnatal cultivation efforts.

But treasure bone level talents are naturally born.

"Master, those elder Peak Masters in the sect must be scrambling to take on this treasure bone level talent as their disciple, right?"

Li Qian asked.

"Of course, it’s said that on that day, those Peak Masters and Elder Peak Masters almost came to blows. But later... Hehe, it was snatched away by the Great Uncle Master."

Zhou Buping laughed.

"Ah? The Great Uncle Master took on a disciple? Wouldn’t that make the disciple’s seniority astonishingly high?"

Li Qian was immensely surprised.

"Indeed."

Zhou Buping smiled.

Their Great Uncle Master’s disciple... at least they would have to call him ’Uncle Master’ too.

And Li Qian’s generation would have to address him as ’Great Uncle Master’.

In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.

On this day, a guest hall of the Divine Sword Sect received a man claiming to be from the Zhenwu Temple, wanting to see the Heavenly Person Xiao of the Divine Sword Sect.

The hall master of the guest hall, Elder Xiang Xin, did not dare delay and quickly reported to the Sect Leader.

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu was very surprised to hear this. Zhenwu Temple, as one of the three great factions of Dachang, was many levels above a martial arts sect like the Divine Sword Sect, said to be a powerful force that could speak with the Imperial Family.

Why would Zhenwu Temple suddenly send someone to the Divine Sword Sect?

He hurried to personally invite the Elder Peak Master.

Since taking on a disciple, this Elder Peak Master had not appeared and was probably carefully cultivating this treasure bone level talent.

Guest Hall.

Xiao Wendao decided to come out to greet the visitor from Zhenwu Temple as soon as he knew they had arrived.

But as soon as he arrived at the Reception Hall, he was inwardly shaken—the visitor turned out to be a Heavenly Person as well.

A Heavenly Person from Zhenwu Temple visiting the Divine Sword Sect must mean there’s significant business.

Suddenly, a bad feeling gripped him; it wouldn’t be because of Shen Mo’er, the treasure bone level talent, would it?

Yet he felt that was not right; according to his knowledge, treasure bone level talents had also emerged within the domains of other powers.

In fact, he had previously wondered why fabled treasure bone level talents were suddenly being discovered all across the land of Dachang, one after another, at the same time?

"Daoist Xiao, Master Hong Yuan at your service. I have come to the Divine Sword Sect by the order of the sect leader to discuss important matters."

The true man from Zhenwu Temple, dressed in a Daoist robe, was of classical appearance and otherworldly demeanor. He rose and formally greeted with clasped hands.

"May I know the important matter Master Hong Yuan has to discuss?"

Xiao Wendao returned the gesture and asked.

"I must trouble Daoist Xiao to ask everyone present to leave. This matter is confidential, and for the time being, only you may know of it."

Master Hong Yuan said.

Xiao Wendao felt puzzled but complied by clearing out everyone from the Reception Hall.

Soon, only Master Hong Yuan and Xiao Wendao were left in the hall.

"Daoist Xiao, I have come to request that you hand over the treasure bone level talent who has just joined your Divine Sword Sect to Zhenwu Temple."

Master Hong Yuan wasted no time in cutting straight to the point.

"Huh? Master Hong Yuan, you must be joking?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wendao nearly hopped in protest.

Hand over a treasure bone level talent to Zhenwu Temple?

A surge of anger rose within him.

Even with Zhenwu Temple’s formidable power, they had no jurisdiction over his Divine Sword Sect.

Even the Imperial Family had not yet intervened. frёewebnoѵēl.com

"Daoist Xiao, I’m not joking with you... A treasure bone level talent should not have appeared in your Divine Sword Sect."

Master Hong Yuan said shaking his head.

"And why not?"

Xiao Wendao coldly snorted, "This treasure bone level talent was uncovered within the domain of my Divine Sword Sect. Even if the Imperial Family comes... it would be impossible for them to take her away."

This treasure bone level genius was seen as his heir to the martial arts legacy and potentially the future hope for the rise of the Divine Sword Sect. How could he possibly let go?

"Daoist Xiao, don’t be hasty. The situation isn’t as simple as you imagine. In fact, this treasure bone level talent isn’t really up to Zhenwu Temple to claim either."

Master Hong Yuan said, shaking his head.

"Why is that?"

Xiao Wendao furrowed his brows in confusion.

"Daoist Xiao, do you know why, since ancient times... treasure bone level talents have been extremely rare?"

Master Hong Yuan let out a sigh as he spoke.

"While they are rare, they aren’t nonexistent. Wasn’t the Old Emperor Wu a treasure bone level talent? And the serving Martial Emperor is rumored to have treasure bone level talent too..."

Xiao Wendao spoke with a heavy voice.

"Ha ha... Daoist Xiao, you’re too naive. Let me tell you this, among the top powerhouses that have appeared in Dachang’s history... none were treasure bone level talents, not even the two reigning Martial Emperors... They were merely Top-Grade Jade Bones."

Master Hong Yuan shook his head as he spoke.

"Impossible. If not even the Old Emperor Wu were a treasure bone level talent, then how did the treasure bone level talent I have found come into existence?"

Xiao Wendao said with a heavy voice.

He thought Master Hong Yuan was entirely a fraudster.

He was only interested in swindling the treasure bone level talent away from his Divine Sword Sect.

"Treasure bone level talents do exist... In fact, every year in Dachang, there are no fewer than ten treasure bone level talents uncovered."

Master Hong Yuan sighed and continued, "But, such treasure bone level talents won’t have any future if they stay in our Human World; they are all sent beyond the realm."

"Huh? Human World? Beyond the realm... Master Hong Yuan, what exactly do you mean?"

Xiao Wendao’s heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked.

"I cannot tell you too much. You only need to know that beyond the heavens there are more heavens, beyond people there are more people... Our Human World exists merely to nurture martial talents above the treasure bone level."

Master Hong Yuan explained.

"What you’re referring to, is it that domain untouchable to ordinary mortals?"

Xiao Wendao inhaled deeply, recalling what he had read in an ancient tome at Dragon Guard Temple, then asked.

"Something like that."

Master Hong Yuan nodded, "Daoist Xiao... This treasure bone level talent, let alone staying with your Divine Sword Sect, even if she were at Zhenwu Temple, her martial path would peak at the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm and she’d have no hope of reaching higher realms under the cultivation conditions of our Human World."

He continued, "Thus, all treasure bone level talents found outside are to be recalled and sent beyond the realm. Your Divine Sword Sect cannot keep her. As compensation, Zhenwu Temple is willing to offer you a precious Heavenly Celestial Pill. This elixir can give your Divine Sword Sect a greater than fifty percent chance of producing a Heavenly Person."

With that, he brought out a box and placed it on the table.

"Heavenly Celestial Pill..."

Xiao Wendao was greatly shaken.

He had, of course, heard of the legendary elixir, the Heavenly Celestial Pill.

But between a Heavenly Celestial Pill and a treasure bone level talent, he still leaned towards the latter.

"In addition, should your Divine Sword Sect uncover another treasure bone level talent, Zhenwu Temple will offer a Heavenly Celestial Pill as compensation."

Master Hong Yuan said.

The Heavenly Celestial Pill was extremely precious within Zhenwu Temple, a strategic resource.

In order to collect the scattered treasure bone level talents, they had to be generous.
