Chapter 948: 602
The middle-aged disciple with a dirt-smudged face still felt something odd, but he hadn’t noticed that his mute junior sister’s complexion was slightly flushed.
For this, Li Kun could only sigh.
Soon after they had eaten and drunk their fill,
Li Kun invited a few people into the room to discuss their next moves.
The first to be invited were the leaders of Snow Lotus Gate and Golden Bone Sect.
They emerged from the room after about ten minutes, their faces marked by suspicion.
Then, along with their equally perplexed disciples, they swiftly departed from the inn.
The remaining Transcendents were full of confusion. Had they been asked to leave? Were the sects meant to act independently?
Next, Sword in Wine was invited. His stay in the room was brief; it seemed he had hardly spoken a few words before leaving.
Upon exiting, he calmly called over the two Confucian disciples who accompanied him, instructing them to hurry back to the school and guard his home-brewed liquor hidden beneath the peach trees, lest it be pilfered by his fellow brothers.
The Confucian disciples were puzzled. This incident was an excellent training opportunity for disciples of all sects. After all, the Japanese Transcendents bore no goodwill; the Tianyan Association would slay them on sight. There was no need for them to hold back—it was a rare chance to hone their skills.
Why then were they asked to leave at this critical juncture?
Home-brewed liquor? In the circle of the Transcendents, aside from Ghost Hand, who would dare to sneak a drink of Sword in Wine’s brew? Not even the Tianyan Association would dare!
But an order from their master could not be disobeyed, so without delay, they left the inn posthaste.
Master Kongchan was the next to be invited. After coming out, he summoned his four martial monk disciples and sent them to a mountain village in a certain forest.
They were to exterminate the cannibalistic evil monk there and then return to their temple to quietly pursue their Buddhist practice.
Even the Buddhist disciple among the group of thirteen was given the same instruction.
"What on earth does Li Kun intend to do?" the remaining uninvited person, who was Jiang Shenchui from the Craftsman Sect, asked Kongchan with a puzzled look. "Kongchan, how could a evil monk just happen to turn up at this time? This coincidence? And them—suddenly, they all have urgent matters that force them to leave?"
"Buddha says there are truths which cannot be spoken," the old monk replied, joining his hands in prayer and speaking a word of Buddha’s sound.
"Virtue!" Jiang Shenchui clicked his tongue, "I really want to see what kind of spell Li Kun has cast on you!"
He then entered the room as well.
Minutes later, he came out with a worried expression and ordered his disciples from the Craftsman Sect to return to their school.
He said there was a thief targeting their Magical Skill and told them to hastly return and guard it. Until he got back, no one was allowed to leave the school.
Thus, the Transcendents who had gathered together dispersed in an instant, leaving the majority gone.
At the very least, the disciples of the various sects who were Transcendents were all sent away for various reasons.
"What is this for?" Qiu Wentian asked, somewhat puzzled, "Cutting off one’s own arm? These are all Transcendents, with no small measure of combat power. And just like that, he sends all of them away?"
In Qiu Wentian’s view, facing an unpredictable enemy, it would be more appropriate to rally their strength and gather at Yanyun.
"No, this is a timely stop loss," Li Changhe responded. "Now that we are aware, the upcoming actions will carry unimaginable danger. Thus, these disciples would instead become a burden. Li Kun’s thinking, I guess, is to try and neutralize that enemy directly with high-end combat strength. Even if they fail, their Extraordinary Association will at most lose six Earth Level Transcendents. The remaining disciples can bear the pressure. As for summoning more Transcendents... no one can guarantee they won’t all be wiped out in one fell swoop. Whoever can kill so many powerful Transcendents must possess a special ability to counter Transcendents."
In the real history, six Earth Level Transcendents and seven Profound Level Transcendents close to Earth Level, plus dozens of disciples. This level of combat power was already terrifying, yet they still were killed.
Direct confrontation seems unlikely. It must be some extremely restraining effect. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been incidents of Transcendents killing each other.
"So we need to stop loss?" Qiu Wentian shook his head slightly, "It indeed sounds like a leader’s thought. But well, our situation just became a bit harder."
"Actually, if we look at just attributes, we are already not inferior to Earth Level Transcendents, or even higher," Li Changhe said with a smile. "Including the original six, the ten of us should be enough. Plus, I have Black Mud Divinity, which makes me a Celestial... Right, Xiaoqiu. Have you already taken the Divine Gifted Grass?"
Qiu Wentian was also a Champion Level player. After the victory in the Seven Kings War, she should have received Divine Gifted Grass as well. After consuming Divine Gifted Grass, her energy attribute would increase by 1-3 points, with a high probability of faith in some existence.
Although, having faith in some divine creatures is very unsafe, at least it’s possible to receive some help, or even a portion of Divinity.
"Of course, I used it during the naval battle in Great Tang. Otherwise, I would have been ground to death long ago." Qiu Wentian glanced at Li Changhe, "You want to ask what I have faith in, right?"
"Mhmm."
Qiu Wentian’s expression was a bit abnormal, then she scratched her head somewhat embarrassingly and said, "The Emperor of the Eternal Throne."
"Damn!" The fish pond owner, uneducated, handled all with a single cuss.
Of course, Pan Ke and Li Changhe were similar. Qiu Wentian had kept this secret from everyone.
It had to be said that Qiu Wentian was quite lucky.
If it had been a non-human Divine Existence, it would likely have been very dangerous. Especially the likes of the Evil God of Blood River, extremely dangerous. Who knows what kind of compulsive orders might be issued.
But that Emperor, at least, was on the side of humanity.
At that time, during the task in Great Tang, it was he who had stopped Blood River, allowing Li Changhe to defeat Xue Shen in one fell swoop. It indicated goodwill towards humanity.
"So you say, you a Confucian Transcendent, have faith in the Emperor who burned books and buried Confucians?" The fish pond owner thought for a moment and said, "Wrong, he buried alchemists, not specifically aimed at Confucians."
"Forget about that old history. So, Xiaoqiu, you’re now a follower of the Emperor? Can you use his Divinity?" Li Changhe asked.
"He annulled my faith, but instead, he bestowed upon me two thousand points of Divinity," Qiu Wentian said. "I have to repay this favor on the Eternal Throne. However, I haven’t been able to master that Divinity over this period. At most, I can just make use of it."
The three levels of Divine Existence mentioned before.
Qiu Wentian was still at the first level, like a box. She could use Divinity but could not generate it on her own.
"Then at least we have two types of Divinity now," Li Changhe looked toward the fish pond owner and Pan Ke. "How about you guys? If you have any hidden Divinity, speak up now. We can’t use abilities, so Divinity is our largest weapon."
"Give me a break, how could Divine Existences be so plentiful?" Pan Ke shook his head. "I haven’t even been able to unlock the Divinity attribute."
Players with Divinity were indeed rarities.
"Coincidentally, my wife is one, and so is my brother," Li Changhe spread his hands, with a look that seemed deserving of a beating.
"That’s just fucking unbelievable!"
