Chapter 588: Good Children
Before they reunited with the divine martial masters, they discussed this issue and finally arrived at a solution.
"First, we will arrange a place for your people to settle down." Yu Nianzhen began.
"The Cangxing world is several times larger than Earth. When we arrive, we will let you choose a free place. After you choose, I will arrange a formation and the necessary security." Jiang Yue continued.
Originally, they didn’t plan to go to so much trouble for the martial artists.
However, the rewards they received from Gu Yan were too heavy.
If they didn’t do enough to help the martial artists, the cause and effect between them would not dissipate.
"We will also give you some resources to help you get started."
At this point, Jiang Yue solemnly looked at Yu Nianzhen.
"Other than that, we will protect your people for fifteen thousand years." Yu Nianzhen said.
"This..." Gu Dong was shocked.
"Fifteen thousand years?" Someone asked and Jiang Yue sighed in resignation.
"Within fifteen thousand years, your people must work hard to produce an immortal realm cultivator. However, regardless of whether you have one, our protection will end after fifteen thousand years."
"Also, protection doesn’t mean we will fight your battles. It only means we will protect your home. Within fifteen thousand years, we will never allow an external enemy to break your mountain-protecting formation." Jiang Yue clarified.
Although Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen received a lot of favour from the ancestors of the martial artists, it wasn’t enough to voluntarily act as lackeys.
At most, they would ensure the bloodline of the Profound Extremities world did not go extinct.
"The cultivation world is different from Earth." Jiang Yue started and looked at everyone with a solemn expression.
"In the cultivation world, killing is a way of life. The strong are respected and the weak are trampled on."
"Master Jiang, what level is an immortal realm cultivator?" Divine master Fang asked.
"How many cultivation levels are there?"
"The immortal realm is the eighth major level." Jiang Yue revealed and quickly continued.
"An immortal realm cultivator has the same lifespan as heaven and earth."
"Can you tell us more about the Cangxing world?" Old man Tang asked and Jiang Yue nodded.
"The Cangxing world is a mid-grade world and everyone can cultivate. However, how far they can go depends on aptitude, luck, hard work, and resources. Most of the talented youngsters will join a sect to nurture their talent and get more resources."
"Everyone can cultivate?" Someone asked.
"Mmmm." Jiang Yue nodded.
"From the age of thirteen, everyone can cultivate. As a result, children come of age at thirteen."
"Earth may be a mortal world but it is peaceful." Yu Nianzhen suddenly said as he stood up.
"Contrary, the Cangxing world has more possibilities but it isn’t as peaceful. You should carefully consider what you want before you decide."
After that, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen left the meeting hall.
Seeing this, the divine masters fell silent.
"Old Gu, what do you think?" Someone asked and the other divine masters turned to look at Gu Dong.
"I personally want to go." Gu Dong said.
As a martial artist, he was eternally pursuing strength,
Even before he knew about the Profound Extremities world, he had already decided to talk to swordsman Yu and master Jiang.
After all, his martial arts were stuck at the peak of the divine master realm.
Without a major opportunity, he would stop there.
Fortunately, the ancestors of their hidden world had made arrangements.
Even before Gu Dong could ask for help, he was told he had an opportunity to leave the hidden world and go to a wider world.
Naturally, he was unwilling to give up the opportunity.
"If we go to the cultivation world, we will be at the bottom of the ladder." Someone said.
"Does it matter? Master Jiang and swordsman Yu will protect our people for fifteen thousand years. It is enough time to establish ourselves."
"It falls on us to revive our ancestor’s legacy."
"Aren’t we getting ahead of ourselves?" Divine master Jiang said and everyone turned to look at her.
"Old Jiang, what do you mean?"
"We only know what they have told us. What if they are lying to us?" She said and everyone fell silent.
"Why would they lie to us?" Divine master Wu finally asked and Gu Dong nodded in agreement.
After all, Master Jiang and swordsman Yu were very powerful.
If they wanted something from the hidden world, they could forcibly take it. There was no need to go around in circles to achieve their goal.
"I still think we need to be more careful." Jiang Qingqing said.
"Old Gu, is there nothing about this in the ancient records?"
Hearing the question, Gu Dong shook his head.
"There is nothing." He said.
After that, the divine martial masters continued to discuss but soon reached an impasse.
Of the thirteen divine masters, seven were ready to pack their bags and go to the Cangxing world.
However, the remaining six were divided.
Of the six, three were against the migration and three wanted more time to think about it.
"We don’t all have to go. Those who want to stay can stay." Someone suggested.
In the end, the divine martial masters decided to discuss the matter with their families and allies.
After that, they would meet again to decide a way forward.
A month passed in this back and forth.
On this day, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue were drinking wine in the yard of their borrowed villa when they heard a knock.
"It’s the three children." Jiang Yue said and sighed.
"Mmmm." Yu Nianzhen nodded and used his qi to open the gate.
"Master, master’s husband." The three greeted.
When they heard this, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen looked at each other but showed no extra expression.
"Have you decided?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
"Your master and I have seen part of the legacy left behind by your ancestors. Are you really willing to abandon it?" Jiang Yue asked.
Hearing this, Qian Chen smiled.
"Our ancestry is important but so is fate. I believe in the fate between myself and master." He said.
"My Xue family has many talents. They won’t miss me."
"What about you?" Jiang Yue looked at Tang Xiao.
"I thought about it and still feel I am most suitable for master’s swordsmanship." Tang Xiao answered with a determined expression.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue nodded in approval.
’They are good children.’ He thought.
However, his brows were creased in a frown.
"What about your families?" He asked.
"We all come from large families. There is no shortage of successors."
"Is that so?" Jiang Yue muttered and looked at Yu Nianzhen.
"Let me see how far you have practised." Yu Nianzhen said and looked at the three with a solemn expression.
After that, the three took turns to demonstrate their swordsmanship.
Fortunately, after practicing in the ancient ruin, they gained a lot.
Although their swordsmanship wasn’t exquisite, it was better compared to before.
Most importantly, it was enough to meet Yu Nianzhen’s requirement.
"Have you handled your emotional matters?" The swordsman asked while looking at Tang Xiao and Qian Chen.
"Don’t worry, master. I have already figured it out." Qian Chen said and Tang Xiao nodded.
Looking at the two, Yu Nianzhen was convinced.
"True love is a kind of fate. Don’t rush it." He said and looked at Jiang Yue with a doting look in his eyes.
Seeing the look, Xue Hua couldn’t suppress her curiosity.
"Master, how long have you been with Master Jiang?" She asked.
Hearing the question, Jiang Yue chuckled and looked at the three.
"Do you want to know?" He asked.
"Yes, I want to know." Xue Hua urgently said and subconsciously raised her hand.
"Your master and I have been together since the day we were born."
"Since the day you were born?" Xue Hua didn’t believe it.
"Our families are close friends and our mothers were pregnant at the same time. We were born at the same place, on the same day, and since then, we have always been together."
"So romantic." Xue Hua exclaimed.
"Master and master’s husband are really fated." Qian Chen couldn’t help but say.
"Mmmm." Tang Xiao also agreed.
"Don’t envy us. You will also meet your fate." Jiang Yue said and subtly glanced at Tang Xiao and Qian Chen.
’It won’t be long before they discover their suppressed feelings.’ He thought and smiled in anticipation.
"Master, did we pass the test?" Qian Chen suddenly remembered the important matter.
"You passed." Yu Nianzhen nodded
"Did we really pass?" Xue Hua excitedly exclaimed.
She had done her best to comprehend and practice the basic swordsmanship.
Fortunately, the heavens didn’t desert her.
"Do you know the apprenticeship ceremony?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
Hearing this, the three looked at each other with awkward expressions.
Normally, when a martial artist worshipped a master, they would prepare an apprenticeship gift.
However, their master was an immortal.
Even if they wracked their brains, the three couldn’t think of an appropriate gift to give to an immortal master.
"Master..., the apprenticeship gift." Qian Chen started with a frown on his face.
However, Yu Nianzhen waved his hand to stop the person.
"I don’t need a gift." Yu Nianzhen said and quickly continued.
"I only need your word that you will never betray your master and master’s husband."
When they heard this, the three heaved a sigh of relief.
"I am willing to make this vow." Qian Chen immediately said, and the other two also agreed.
