288: Shenmu Forest

Currently, he was just an ordinary Disciple. To raise his rank, he needed enough contribution points.

contribution points came from contributing to the Sect, such as completing missions, handing in various valuable treasures, or trading with other Disciples.

Among these, what Xiao Xing cared about most was a resource site.

This place was called the Nether Soul Realm, a supreme rank resource site. Cultivating there could greatly enhance Divine Soul Power, but entry required a trillion contribution points.

He didn't need to worry about his attributes, but he was severely lacking in Soul power. Only with a sufficiently strong Soul could one achieve an immortal Soul.

As for things like the power of the Law, Yin Ping should be able to teach him, so there was no need to worry for now.

Whoosh!

Before anyone could say anything, a soldier fully clad in silver armor suddenly appeared.

"Reporting to the God King, the Northern Heaven Gate is under heavy attack by the Blood Soul Clan army. Our defending forces are almost unable to hold out. We request reinforcements!"

As soon as the soldier appeared, he knelt on one knee and shouted urgently.

Hearing the report, the God King remained silent, but a light screen appeared in front of him.

The light screen showed a dim battlefield where rows of silver-armored soldiers stood guard, while the opposite side was filled with countless Blood Soul Beasts.

At this moment, although the battle had temporarily ceased, the battlefield between the two sides was strewn with corpses, the entire land was in ruins, and endless Evil Qi rose into the sky.

Seeing this scene, even the mischievous Yin Ling frowned deeply.

She finally understood why Master had spanked her and why she was made to apologize to everyone.

It was because everyone was fighting desperately against the demons that she could play happily in the Sect all this time.

"The attacks from the two races have been getting more frequent lately. Now that they've dispatched a Heaven-Grade Soul Beast Legion, they must be starting their move!"

"That kid Ye Fan broke through to the God Emperor realm not long ago, and he's still a bit short of reaching the God King Realm. Sending him there to gain some experience is just right."

The God King looked at the light screen expressionlessly, as if he had long expected this moment.

Flash!

As the God King's voice fell, a white light flashed, and a man in white robes appeared before them.

"Pass down my order: with Ye Fan as the leader, take one billion Gold-Armored Warriors to guard the Northern Heaven Gate. Depart immediately."

Yes!

As soon as the white-robed man finished speaking, his afterimage began to slowly fade away.

"Jian Chen, you follow Yin Ping to Cultivate first. Only when the powerhouses of the two races descend will it be time for you to act."

The God King waved his hand, signaling Xiao Xing and the others to leave.

The God King knew Xiao Xing was extraordinary; those cannon fodder didn't require a powerhouse like him to step in, so he didn't demand anything of him.

Walking out of the hall, the outside was still crowded with people, and many Disciples were busy with their tasks.

"Master, I'll be heading back first."

Once outside, Ji Ziyue was absent-minded. After saying her goodbyes, she planned to leave.

Hearing that Ye Fan was going to guard the border rift, she felt worried in her heart.

Although Ye Fan was a standout among God Emperors, that was a battlefield where Blood Soul Beasts surged. No matter how strong one was, facing a Heaven-Grade Blood Soul Beast army still carried some danger.

She really wanted to help Ye Fan, but she couldn't do anything now. Having just joined as a Disciple, she felt embarrassed to ask Xiao Xing for items.

"Take this belt. Come find me once you've finished your business."

Xiao Xing took off his last remaining belt and handed it to Ji Ziyue.

How could he not see through Ji Ziyue's intentions?

He hadn't intended to give it so soon, but since she needed it now, giving it early was no problem.

With his attributes, he naturally didn't need to worry about his own safety.

"Master, I haven't done anything to deserve this."

Seeing the supreme rank belt, Ji Ziyue didn't take it; she just lowered her head, her face flushing intensely red.

She had indeed become his Disciple to get treasures for Ye Fan, but she didn't want to receive them for no reason. As long as Xiao Xing didn't make things too difficult for her, she was willing to do anything.

But now, Xiao Xing was giving her a supreme rank treasure without asking her to do anything, which was why she felt too embarrassed to take it directly.

"Take it, this is a gift for becoming my Disciple."

Xiao Xing patted her head and then stuffed the belt into her hand.

He then turned to look at Yin Ping, not wanting to dwell on this matter with Ji Ziyue.

"Xiao Chen, let's head back first."

Yin Ping smiled slightly and pinched Yin Ling, who was in Xiao Xing's arms. The three of them then vanished from the spot.

Before his vision from the teleportation cleared, a System notification suddenly arrived.

Xiao Xing scanned it briefly, feeling somewhat surprised.

System Notification: Ji Ziyue's favorability towards you has increased by 49 points, totaling 79 points.

The first 30 points were default, equivalent to a new acquaintance; it wasn't that Ji Ziyue had any actual favorability toward him before.

But it was different now. Reaching 79 points was equivalent to being best friends or confidants; if he took small liberties with her occasionally, she basically wouldn't resist.

However, since she had someone in her heart, even if it increased further, she would at most see Xiao Xing as family and wouldn't think of him as a lover.

But everything depends on effort. As long as the hoe is used well, which corner of the wall won't crumble?

To put it bluntly, if all else failed, he would just seal the deal with Ji Ziyue first, and then there wouldn't be much she could do about it.

Ji Ziyue was originally the Yao Race Saintess. When she shed her monster form to become human, her body was perfectly shapely and naturally carried a unique charm that gave people an inexplicable urge.

Although her looks were slightly inferior to Ling Yuner's, Xiao Xing quite liked this about her. So, even knowing she had an ulterior motive, he still took her in... His vision cleared, and rows of ancient green trees came into view. Strange lights bloomed over a field of exotic flowers and herbs, while various beautiful spirit butterflies and divine birds soared among them.

On the flat ground between the ancient trees, several thatched huts built from bamboo stalks and leaves appeared simple yet elegant, a scene of fresh grace.

Not far away stood a giant sign made of divine wood, engraved with the six large characters 'Qingxia Peak Divine Wood Forest'. A supreme azure light circulated around it, looking as if it were a natural creation of heaven and earth.

They had arrived at the summit of Qingxia Peak. This was Yin Ping's immortal residence; unless led by her, few people could come up here directly.

"Xiao Chen, this is where we live. From now on, you will Cultivate here with Master."

Arriving at the immortal mountain, Yin Ping smiled broadly and took Xiao Xing's hand to walk forward.

She had lived here for over a decade, so there was naturally nothing new to see. Yin Ling didn't even spare a glance, simply leaning in Xiao Xing's arms, looking extremely comfortable.

"This room is where Master lives. You'll live in the one next to it from now on. Without Master's permission, you are not allowed to enter my room."

After arranging the living quarters, Yin Ping patted Xiao Xing's head and then, with her hands behind her back, happily walked toward Xiao Xing's room.

Seeing this, Xiao Xing and the other followed her in.

Entering the thatched hut, the scene inside made his eyes light up again.

What seemed like a simple thatched hut contained a whole different world inside, like a giant vintage-style manor with everything one could need.

It also included about ten shimmering teleportation arrays that allowed direct entry into various resource sites for Cultivation.

These resource sites were of a very high level, and one could enter them at will through the teleportation arrays to Cultivate.
