Chapter 741: Chapter 736: Dual Identities
"Regarding Mystical Arts, I have a question. I’ve fought against enemies from the Sea Race. They possess a type of ’Bloodline Mystical Arts’, which combines Mystical Arts with their bloodline talents. Is the True Intent cultivated this way stronger?"
Bai Pu asked.
Li Yan replied, "The Demon Race indeed has powerful bloodline talents. The True Intent cultivated through Bloodline Mystical Arts, known as ’Bloodline True Intent’, is somewhat stronger than the True Intent of the same grade, but it doesn’t reach the level of crossing grade."
Li Yan then gave an example.
For instance, a whale shark from the Sea Race combines its innate talent with the Top Grade Mystical Art ’Devouring’ to form a Bloodline Mystical Art.
The True Intent cultivated through this is half a notch stronger than the usual Seventh Grade Devouring True Intent.
However, this whale shark’s Bloodline True Intent still doesn’t reach Sixth Grade.
Bai Pu commented, "It seems the advantage of Demon Race Evolvers in True Intent cultivation isn’t as great as in the Awakened stage."
"You’re wrong. The advantage of Demon Race Evolvers is not only in the True Intent level."
Li Yan shook his head, "What’s truly terrifying about Demon Race Evolvers is their progress in True Intent comprehension! Bloodline True Intent is naturally connected to their bloodline, and it’s an instinct from their beast period. Cultivating it is as natural as breathing for humans."
Only then did Bai Pu realize the trouble posed by the Demon Race.
Li Yan then said, "Fortunately, the Demon Race also has its weaknesses, which is that they’re one-sided. It’s nearly impossible for them to comprehend Mystical Arts that contradict their bloodline talents. If you really talk about extraordinary talents, that would be the Divine Race... Luckily, the Divine Race is extremely sparse."
Bai Pu twitched his lips. Other races have their advantages, what advantage does humanity have? Could it be sheer numbers?
Bai Pu consulted Li Yan on several common sense questions about True Intent cultivation, and Li Yan patiently answered them all.
After that, Li Yan waved his hand to retract the Mind World.
The pure white world swiftly faded, and the two returned "back" to the hall.
"Quentin, you’re from Burning Ash, there shouldn’t be anything you need to ask, right?" Li Yan glanced at the Red Race Quentin.
Venerable Envoy Liu, standing on the side, smiled and said, "I taught him everything necessary while my junior sister expanded the Mind World. Tsk tsk, truly an elite of the Red Race."
The words carried a subtly sarcastic tone, not seeming to tease Bai Pu, but rather Quentin.
Quentin pretended not to notice and said that he had no questions.
"Alright, let’s proceed with registration. Confirm your acceptance into the Gaia Group, leave your Gaia Mark number, so the group can contact you at any time."
Li Yan waved his hand, and a scroll emitting white light flew out, slowly unfolding in the air, "Don’t worry, the group won’t casually provide your number to others."
Quentin displayed his Gaia Mark number, and a stream of information imprinted on the scroll.
Bai Pu likewise showed his Gaia Mark number to register the information.
Quentin suddenly said, "Wait a moment, Gangxin... How about you and I exchange Gaia Mark numbers?"
"Why?" Bai Pu turned to ask.
Quentin grinned, "Starting in the Gaia Group on the same day is a connection of sorts. There are some misunderstandings between the Burning Ash Organization and the Cyan Dragon 287 planet that need resolving through communication."
The tone didn’t seem like that of a Red Race person.
On the side, Li Yan said, "There’s no problem exchanging Gaia Mark numbers. If you don’t want to communicate with him, you can simply block his number unilaterally."
The Gaia Mark number, unlike a phone number, won’t let people trace back to find the registration place, location of the owner, and so forth.
Bai Pu didn’t refuse and exchanged Gaia Mark numbers with Quentin.
"Quentin, do you need to reissue your identity card?" Venerable Envoy Liu asked.
"No need. Just update my information verification on the Gaia Network." Quentin already had an official Gaia Network identity card and naturally didn’t need it.
"Since you don’t need it, you can leave. At the AT004 office logistics department, you can be allocated a room within the Gaia Building. Just show your Gaia Mark number." Venerable Envoy Li Yan, when addressing Quentin, seemed more procedural than friendly.
Quentin agreed, giving Bai Pu a suspicious glance before leaving.
"Does Gangxin need an identity card?" Venerable Envoy Liu asked.
"Gangxin would definitely need it since he just arrived on the Silver Heart Continent and probably hasn’t registered for a formal identity card yet."
Li Yan took out another glowing scroll, flicked it with his fingertips, and input an information stream.
The scroll emitted white light, the spiritual particles condensed, quickly forming a thin Spiritual Essence card, which flew towards Bai Pu.
This Spiritual Essence card served as an identity card, imprinted with Bai Pu’s real name, Spirit Realm ID, place of origin, Gaia Mark number, and more.
Bai Pu took it, and once in hand, the Spiritual Essence card transformed directly into a stream of Spiritual Essence information, merging into Bai Pu’s body.
"Now, you are a preparatory core member of the Gaia Group and an official resident of the Silver Heart Continent."
Li Yan smiled at Bai Pu, "Welcome to the Silver Heart Great World."
"Thank you."
Bai Pu thought for a moment and said, "Can I still use the temporary ID card I used before... the one named ’Bai Yujing’?"
"In principle, no."
Venerable Envoy Li Yan winked at Bai Pu.
Bai Pu understood and didn’t ask further.
After saying goodbye, Bai Pu checked his identity card.
Both identity cards were usable!
One was for Major General Gaia, stating birthplace as "Cyan Dragon 287", real name Bai Pu, number 650116. This card had high authority.
The other was for an apprentice at the Frosty Spirit Plants Shop, birthplace "Lingshu City, Silver Heart Continent", real name Bai Yujing.
This was Bai Pu’s temporary identity card, though the word temporary had disappeared, now replaced with "official identity card"!
In effect, Bai Pu had two identities.
Besides his real identity, he also had the identity of a local of the Silver Heart Continent!
"It must be the help from Venerable Envoy Li Yan."
Bai Pu inwardly thanked him, though he was a bit puzzled as it seemed that Venerable Envoy Li Yan’s attitude towards him was overly... amiable?
...
Top floor of the Tower of Babel.
"Master."
The two Venerable Envoys, Liu and Li, respectfully saluted Master Bo Xuan, draped in a Taoist robe. They reported the entire process of receiving Bai Pu and Quentin, highlighting key points to Master Bo Xuan.
"Hmm, you’ve done well." Master Bo Xuan nodded.
"Master, you seem particularly concerned about the master of Cyan Dragon 287, Gangxin. Did you foresee something? Can you tell your disciple about it?" Venerable Envoy Liu activated his skill of persistence.
"No," Master Bo Xuan flatly refused.
Venerable Envoy Liu’s face immediately fell.
Li Yan said resentfully, "The master has taught long ago that the result of divination is not fixed. The great path operates and all phenomena replace each other according to its trajectory, and we are all part of the great path’s phenomena, influencing the results of each phenomenon’s replacement. The more people know the result of the divination, the further the result will deviate. How could the master casually tell you?"
