Chapter 11: Half-step to the Third Realm Chapter 15 Gift Giving
The North River Boat Master and the Ancient Tree World Master were so humble that they wanted to treat Xu Jingming as an equal! This attitude made Xu Jingming, the dean, the tower master, and the island master a little stunned, and their hearts were full of doubts.
“Why would they be so polite to Jingming? Even if a new person who has reached the Half-Step Third Realm is born, given the prestige of the Ancient Tree Realm Lord, it is unlikely that he would come to congratulate him in person.” The dean thought.
There will be conflicts and divisions among those who are half-step to the third realm.
The Ancient Tree Realm Master is the undisputed strongest 'half-step third realm' in this territory, and his reputation is well-known in many surrounding territories! Just like when the North River Boat Master faced the Ancient Tree Realm Master, his attitude was lowered.
But……
The Lord of the Ancient Tree Realm was very humble when facing Xu Jingming.
"What's going on?" Xu Jingming, the dean and the other three were all very confused.
"Yes, yes, yes, let's be friends as peers." The Beihe Boat Master also said.
"Brother Wu Ming, why don't you invite us in and have a seat?" The Lord of the Ancient Tree Realm said with a smile.
Xu Jingming hurriedly said: "Master of the Ancient Tree Realm, Master of the Northern River Boat, please."
The four of them immediately helped lead the way and took the two people who were half a step to the third realm into the island.
In a hall on Wanxing Island , the dean and his colleagues were very serious in entertaining the Lord of the Ancient Tree Realm and the Lord of the Northern River Boat. They entertained them according to the highest standards and served them all kinds of precious wines and delicacies.
"We are friends of the same generation, so there is no need to distinguish between high and low seats." The Ancient Tree Realm Master said with a smile. Originally, the seats in the hall were arranged for the Ancient Tree Realm Master and the Northern River Boat Master to sit in the most important positions, and Xu Jingming and the other four were responsible for accompanying them. However, the Ancient Tree Realm Master waved his hand, and the seats changed. The six seats were dispersed to form a circle, without any distinction of high and low.
The Lord of the Ancient Tree Realm and the Lord of the Northern River Boat took their seats first.
Xu Jingming and the other three had no choice but to sit down. Some naturally high-dimensional beings living on Wanxing Island immediately respectfully served them delicious food and wine.
"I have been on Wanxing Island for hundreds of millions of years, and I have never seen a half-step third realm come to the island."
"I actually sent delicious food and wine to a person who is half a step to the third realm. This is enough for me to brag about for the rest of my life."
These high-dimensional beings communicated with each other after they left the hall, and they were all quite excited. For their ordinary and monotonous lives, being able to send delicious food and wine to the Half-Step Third Realm was already a rare color in their lives.
Inside the palace.
"Brother Wu Ming, this is your first visit. This is a small gift I prepared for you." The Beihe Boat Master smiled and took out a dark green vessel. The vessel was filled with brilliant starlight, which was wandering inside.
Xu Jingming, the dean, the tower master, the island master and others were all a little surprised when they saw the starlight in the vessel.
This, this breath?
"This is a third-level weapon called 'Eight Thousand Galaxies' that I got by chance. After mastering it, I can deploy eight thousand galaxies. Eight thousand galaxies cover the Ten Thousand Stars Island... Even a half-step third-level cultivator would find it difficult to break through the Ten Thousand Stars Island." Beihe Boat Master said with a smile.
"This is so precious." said Xu Jingming.
"Not worth mentioning." Beihe Boat Master shook his head and said, "The gold that Emperor Dragon Island Master gave to Brother Wu Ming is worth 60 drops of Abyss Mother Blood. I am much poorer than him, and I only have this 'Eight Thousand Stars' to give away, which is worth only 30 drops of Abyss Mother Blood."
Eight thousand galaxies need to be carefully arranged to protect the cave nest.
It cannot be carried for mobile combat and is ranked at the bottom among the third-level weapons.
"The North River Boat Master only has three third-level weapons." The Ancient Tree Realm Master laughed at the side, "It was not easy for him to take out eight thousand galaxies this time."
There’s no way, I’m poor!
"Brother Wu Ming, please don't despise me." The Beihe Boat Master waved his hand, and the dark green vessel containing the starlight flew towards Xu Jingming.
Upon seeing this, the Lord of the Ancient Tree Realm said, "If Brother Wu Ming wants to learn the inheritance, he can easily learn it from Yuhuo City! I thought about it... and prepared some gadgets for Brother Wu Ming." As he said this, he flipped his hand, and a number of virtual beads appeared in his palm. Each bead seemed illusory, but had invisible magic.
The dean, the tower master, and the island master felt their hearts wavering just by watching.
"Soul Pearl?" Xu Jingming was surprised.
The Heart Realm also produces many high-dimensional materials, the most common of which is the Sin Pearl. Xu Jingming used a large number of Sin Pearls to refine a number of spiritual weapons! Among the many materials in the Heart Realm, the "Soul Pearl" is the most respected.
One soul bead is generally equivalent to three drops of abyss mother blood.
"This little thing is too difficult to collect. I asked some friends for help and finally gathered 34 soul beads." The Lord of the Ancient Tree Realm said, "In the future, when Brother Wu Ming reaches the third level of the half-step, he can use these soul beads to nourish and refine a soul weapon that suits him."
"This is too precious, this..." Xu Jingming was very clear about this. Unlike the mother blood of the abyss, as long as there were enough sacrifices, it could be bestowed by the abyss and it could be supplied stably.
Soul beads really need to be searched for a long time in the heart world, and luck is needed to find one by chance. The difficulty of collecting 34 soul beads is much more difficult than collecting 100 drops of abyss mother blood.
As his strength improved, especially after he reached the third half-step realm , the spiritual weapon originally made purely from the "Sin Pearl" was a little too weak. If he fought against the Lord of the Abyss in the future, the spiritual weapon might be corroded and damaged. If he added a few "Soul Pearls", the spiritual weapon could be transformed.
"Master of the Ancient Tree Realm, Master of the Northern River Boat, your gifts are too precious." Xu Jingming looked at the vessel filled with starlight and the floating soul beads in front of him. The gifts were too heavy and scary.
"Is it heavy?" The Ancient Tree Realm Master looked at the Beihe Boat Master standing beside him. "The Beihe Boat Master and I both think this gift is normal."
"Very normal." Beihe Boat Master nodded.
At this time, the dean, the tower master, and the island master did not say anything. Whether they helped Xu Jingming to agree or to refuse, they were not suitable.
Xu Jingming looked at the two of them and said, "I want to know why you two gave me such a heavy gift. The heavier the gift, the heavier the cause and effect. I must understand why you two gave me such a heavy gift."
Xu Jingming made it clear that he had too many confusions.
"Your talent." The Lord of the Ancient Tree Realm looked at Xu Jingming.
"Talent?" Xu Jingming wondered.
"You should know that our life forms in the Half-Step Third Realm have already penetrated all spatial layers and even begun to spy on the timeline." The Ancient Tree Realm Master said, "So we can see part of the future."
The boat master of Beihe also spoke up: "We came here to visit you because we have observed part of your future, Brother Wu Ming."
"The future is uncertain." Xu Jingming said doubtfully, "The future is full of variables, why should we care too much about the vague future we see?"
"But your future is certain." The Ancient Tree Realm Master looked at Xu Jingming, "I have watched your future again and again, hundreds of different future branches... fast or slow, you have all become a 'half-step third realm invincible' existence."
"Me too." Beihe Boat Master also said, "Your future is certain."
Xu Jingming's expression changed slightly.
The dean, the tower master, and the island master were all surprised and couldn't believe it. This was a phenomenon that went against common sense. Everyone knew that the decisions of countless creatures affected the future, and the more distant the future, the greater the variables.
But Xu Jingming, a high-dimensional life, has a certain future!
“We don’t know the reason, but it is our honor to make friends with an invincible half-step to the third realm.” said the Lord of the Ancient Tree Realm.
"There is only one Abyss Monarch in the tens of thousands of territories around us." Beihe Boat Master said, "As for the half-step third-level invincible existence, it is much rarer than the Abyss Monarch."
Xu Jingming also had many ideas in his mind.
Is your future certain?
Is there an invisible force behind this? Or is it really because his talent is too terrifying?
"If you two tell Jingming this, will it affect Jingming's future?" the dean suddenly spoke.
"I told you, his future is certain." The Ancient Tree Realm Master said, "It's impossible to stop it even if you want to."
The dean seemed to be thinking about something.
The Ancient Tree Realm Master added: "We have no other request, we just want to make friends."
Xu Jingming looked at the other party and smiled: "Okay, I'll accept these two gifts."
No matter what the future holds! Take every step at this moment steadily! These two gifts, especially the Soul Pearl, will indeed help your future evolution.
“Hahaha…” The Lord of the Ancient Tree Realm and the Lord of the North River Boat both smiled. They had nothing to hide and no ill intentions. They were purely out of the desire to make friends. Xu Jingming's acceptance of the gift also meant that their bond of cause and effect had deepened.
Even the poor Beihe Boat Master gritted his teeth and took out the "Eight Thousand Stars " to offer! Because he knew that if he missed this opportunity, he would never encounter such a good opportunity again.
"Brother Wu Ming." The Beihe Boat Master said, "The Five Demon Stars asked me for help and wanted to buy back their five clones from you. You don't have to give me face. If you want to sell, then sell. If you don't want to sell, then ignore them. The highest price they can afford is 5 drops of Abyss Mother Blood."
"Sell it to them." Xu Jingming said.
The five corpses can only be sold to the original owner to get the highest price. For any other high-dimensional life, the value of the corpses will be much lower.
The banquet ended only when both the guests and the hosts were very happy.
"The future is certain?" Xu Jingming accepted the gift but was not that excited.
"Go forward step by step. If there really is an invisible hand, we will eventually know about it in the future." Xu Jingming thought, "And it looks like it is helping me. If there is no invisible hand... it means that my talent is too strong!"
Xu Jingming kept this matter deep in his heart. It was useless to think too much about it. He just wanted to make himself stronger.
…
The Lord of the Ancient Tree Realm and the Lord of the Northern River Boat both went to Wanxing Island to visit Wu Ming and presented gifts. With the help of those who were interested, the news quickly spread throughout the entire Nanting 3609 territory.
This made all the parties watching within the territory somewhat confused.
"The Lord of the Ancient Tree Realm and the Lord of the Northern River Boat both visited Wu Ming?"
"Not only did they not rob the original gold, but they also gave gifts?"
"In my opinion, Wu Ming should have made a breakthrough long ago and has already reached the third level of the Heart Realm."
"I also believe that he is at the third level of the Heart Realm! Otherwise, how could he defeat the Five Demon Stars so easily? How could the Ancient Tree Realm Master and the Northern River Boat Master give him face and take the initiative to visit him?"
The various forces within the territory of Nanting 3609 were originally looking forward to the reactions of the Lord of the Ancient Tree Realm and the Lord of the Northern River Boat. Unexpectedly, like the Lord of the Emperor Dragon Island, they took the initiative to make friends with Wu Ming of the Ten Thousand Stars Island.
All this also confirmed one thing, that the entire Nanting 3609 territory had a new overlord on the basis of the original three overlords - Wanxing Island's 'Wu Ming'.
Various forces began to refer to Wu Ming as the Lord of the Ancient Tree Realm, the Lord of the North River Boat, and the Lord of the Emperor Dragon Island.
As time passed, the Nanting 3609 territory returned to its usual tranquility, and no force challenged Xu Jingming's position. The Five Demon Stars all fell under Xu Jingming's gun. The Psychic Weapon School was notoriously ruthless, so who would go and die?
In the blink of an eye, 119 years have passed.
Xu Jingming, along with the dean, tower master, island master, Chi Meng and their four clones, finally arrived at the territory where Yuhuo City was located.
