Chapter 921 - 683: Ambition
Baili Hui had just restored his cultivation when he saw Qin Ming personally come over.
He hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects and said, "Many thanks for your grace of remaking me, Master. This old man was able to recover his cultivation realm all thanks to your help. In the future I will definitely bow and break my back in service, doing everything for you!"
Although Baili Hui had long since handed over a wisp of his lifebound Divine Soul to Qin Ming, with his life and death already hanging on Qin Ming’s single thought, the words he spoke right now still came from the bottom of his heart.
After spending such a long time together, Baili Hui already highly approved of Qin Ming’s character and way of doing things.
"Mm. Now that you’ve recovered your Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation, this seat just happens to have some matters for you to handle." Qin Ming probed his cultivation condition; he could see that the recovery was quite decent.
The parts of Baili Hui’s Primordial Spirit Origin that had been damaged when he charged at the realm were even showing signs of healing.
"In a few days, a Beast Taming Clan with the surname Wang will be moving to the nearby Yunmeng Mountain. Go pay them a visit on my behalf and, while you’re at it, sound out this Wang Family’s background." Qin Ming said lightly.
"Ah? Yunmeng Mountain?" Baili Hui said in surprise, "Doesn’t that mean... Lud Yun Daoist, he..."
Qin Ming immediately told him the whole story of Lud Yun Daoist’s sudden disappearance, as well as the clash with Divine Monarch Lingtian.
Anyway, since Baili Hui would continue risking his life for him in the future, these matters still needed to be told so that Baili Hui would keep his eyes open.
After listening to Qin Ming’s account, Baili Hui couldn’t help drawing in a sharp breath.
He hadn’t expected his master to be truly so formidable in Divine Techniques, actually managing to safely escape from a Divine Monarch Void Refining’s hands with only late-stage Divinity Transformation cultivation.
It was plain to see just how powerful Qin Ming’s strength was; thus, although he had already recovered his Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation, he still didn’t dare show the slightest disrespect in front of Qin Ming.
Deeds like this would have made him a leading figure even back in Baili Hui’s former Sect.
"So the one tracking this old man before was Ling Tianjun’s disciple... then that explains it." Baili Hui suddenly came to a realization.
Qin Ming said to him, "Mm, it’s enough that you know this. Ling Tianjun was heavily wounded by Lud Yun Daoist, and with Celestial Star City investigating this matter over there, the situation outside is so tense that he doesn’t dare show his face to stir up trouble again in the short term."
"I understand. Master, rest assured and leave everything to this old man. Now that I’ve recovered my Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation, the channels I can contact have increased by quite a bit..." Baili Hui said with a smile.
Qin Ming nodded and said, "Mm. Aside from the Yunmeng Mountain matter, continue helping this seat collect intelligence on the Giant Spirit Race—the more detailed, the better."
"Yes! This old man will naturally go all out with everything I have!" Baili Hui replied with a bow.
The Heaven-Devouring Rat watched from the side, eyes wide, feeling that Baili Hui had stolen its thunder. It immediately muttered, "Just listen to you, spouting those fancy phrases one after another..."
...
More than ten days later.
Yunmeng Mountain had changed owners, and the Beast Taming Royal Family Wang moved their entire clan in to settle in the Spirit Land.
As a Divinity Transformation Cultivation Clan, the Wang Family was a vast household with flourishing descendants.
Unlike Qin Ming, who was all alone, apart from a few subordinates running errands there were only a few Spirit Pets, just himself in solitary splendor.
When the Wang Family migrated with the whole clan, traveling from Celestial Star City to the East Bamboo Mountain Range, the sky was densely packed with the Wang Family’s Dharma Ship convoy. The spectacle was grand and drew countless gazes.
The Escape Lights of all kinds of Spirit Beasts and flying birds were dazzling to the eye, streaming by in an endless flow.
The Wang Family moved into the Spirit Land in such a high-profile manner precisely to display the clan’s strength and intimidate petty villains.
Qin Ming had also learned from Li Changqing that when the Wang Family rose from a Low-Tier Clan to become a Divinity Transformation Clan, the cultivators who went through that process only spent a few mere centuries.
That was truly somewhat unbelievable.
This newly risen Beast Taming Clan originated from a remote area of the Kunlun Realm.
In the struggle over resources, the Wang Family had successively annexed several old-established powers, causing their overall strength to leap several times over, even giving them the capital to come develop in Celestial Star City.
After all, compared to staying tucked away in a corner, Celestial Star City, as one of the main cities of the Human Race in the Spirit Realm, was naturally the first choice for all major powers to come develop.
However, here, Divinity Transformation Sects and clans could only be counted as mid-to-lower-tier forces.
Only Void Refining Clans could enter the mid-to-upper tier.
But the Wang Family was not an ordinary Divinity Transformation Clan. As a Beast Taming Clan, they naturally did not lack Tier Five Great Demons under their care.
The clan’s Divinity Transformation Level combat power was often several times that of ordinary clans.
Those cultivators who specialized in Beast Taming having one or two High Tier Demon Beasts under their command was perfectly normal.
After preparing gifts for a formal visit, Baili Hui set out alone on the road to Yunmeng Mountain.
Several days later.
After a long journey across thousands of miles, he arrived at the gate of Yunmeng Mountain.
Ever since Lud Yun Daoist suddenly vanished, this Spirit Land had undergone a drastic transformation.
He saw that the entire Spirit Mountain was already festooned with lights and decorations, with a roaring, surging crowd of cultivators coming and going, people packed like weaving threads.
The Wang Family cultivators were all imposing in bearing, exuding quite the nouveau riche vibe.
Compared with Qin Ming’s Little Turtle Peak, this kind of scene was practically a completely different picture, but Baili Hui didn’t feel envious.
Arriving before the mountain gate, Baili Hui expressed his intention to visit to the guards at the entrance.
"Please wait a moment, Senior. This junior will immediately go report to the Clan Leader."
The cultivators stationed outside by the Wang Family were sharp-eyed. Seeing a Divinity Transformation Cultivator come to pay a visit, they naturally didn’t dare delay.
Baili Hui turned his head, taking in a full view of Yunmeng Mountain’s environment. With such lively, bustling activity, it was no wonder the Wang Family could reach this point.
A short while later.
The guard cultivator arrived before a grand hall to make his report.
Inside the grand hall, three cultivators sat upright in solemn posture, all with Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation.
