Inviting me to join the Temporal Temple?
Dongbo Xue Ying laughed. The reputation of the Temporal Temple was too great. Be it the Temple of the Earth God or the Bloodshed Tavern, the Xia people, or the elders of the Xia people who came from the Deity World. All of these had allowed Dongbo Xue Ying to understand some of the most basic rules.
The Temporal Temple relied on their control over spacetime to investigate the trillions of worlds, as well as what had happened in the past …
Of course, because there were too many worlds, the Deity World and the Dark Abyss were too big. Even the Temporal Temple would only know what had happened in the past if they deliberately investigated a certain place. If they did not investigate … the Temporal Temple would not know either.
Even so!
The Temporal Temple was still the best at unearthing the strength of Transcendents! They could discover countless talented Transcendents from the trillions of worlds! If they were allowed to forcibly take them away, the Temporal Temple would have become the sole power in the world. This was something the superpowers of the Deity World and the Dark Abyss did not wish to see. Thus, they had long made an agreement with the Temporal Temple.
The number of people they would capture every year!
How many mortals would they capture? How many Transcendents would they capture?
Both low-grade True Meaning and middle-grade True Meaning Transcendents would have a limit! As for high-grade True Meanings … they were still allowed to capture grade three True Meanings, but the limit was very strict!
As for the legendary grade two True Meanings or the legendary grade one True Meanings, these Transcendents were forbidden from being forcibly taken away! They had to be willing!
"Invite me?" Dongbo Xue Ying laughed inwardly.
The Temporal Temple was not that polite, but they could only invite him due to the rules! If they could capture him, they would have done so long ago. What a joke. In such a poor place like the Xia people's World, he had grasped hold of three grade two True Meanings at such a young age! If the Temporal Temple were to nurture him with all their might, there was hope for him to grasp hold of a grade one True Meaning.
A grade one True Meaning represented the core of the Laws of Profound Mysteries. Dongbo Xue Ying's current combat power was already heaven-defying, and a grade one True Meaning would be even more terrifying!
"Sorry, I refuse!" Dongbo Xue Ying said.
"Refuse? Are you worried that the mission arranged by my Temporal Temple is too dangerous? " That indifferent voice calmly said, "You don't have to worry about this. Your potential is extremely high. My Temporal Temple will not let a Transcendent like you, who is brimming with potential, die so easily. I can make you a Silver Order God Emissary, which will give you a lot of authority! The possibility of you dying is very, very low! "
Dongbo Xue Ying smiled.
He had long known about this point. The Transcendents that the Temporal Temple took the initiative to invite would receive a completely different treatment from those who were forcefully captured.
"I still refuse." Dongbo Xue Ying continued, "I have no intention of joining the Temporal Temple."
"This way, I can make you a Golden Order Oracle! This is the highest level of grooming. Our Temporal Temple invites those legendary Transcendents with grade one True Meanings to become Gold Order God Emissaries! " The indifferent voice continued, "You're so young, yet you've already grasped hold of three grade two True Meanings. My Temporal Temple has many powerful existences, countless resources, and countless treasures. I believe you'll definitely be able to grasp hold of a grade one True Meaning."
"Furthermore, regarding death, you don't have to worry too much. My Temporal Temple will protect you with all our might. Even if you die, we will protect your soul and help you reconstruct your body. "
Gold Order God Emissary.
This represented … the highest level of treatment!
Even if he died, his soul would be protected! There was no helping it. Any apex superpower in the Deity World would protect a Transcendent who grasped a grade one True Meaning. They would do their best to protect their lives. How could they take the initiative to let them die? The Temporal Temple was the same. If Dongbo Xue Ying were to join them, they would also do their best to protect Dongbo Xue Ying's life.
Even though Dongbo Xue Ying did not grasp hold of a grade one True Meaning!
But the three True Meanings Dongbo Xue Ying grasped — Extreme Piercing, Star, and Mirage — had complementary effects! If he grasped hold of all three offensive True Meanings, or if he grasped hold of all three balanced True Meanings, his combat power would not be comparable to Dongbo Xue Ying's.
Dongbo Xue Ying's three True Meanings represented three different directions! This was especially true for the Mirage, which was extremely difficult to comprehend. Experts who could control the Mirage were extremely terrifying assassins … It was just that their attacks were relatively weak. Coupled with the extremely powerful Extreme Piercing … Coupled with the True Meaning of Star, which was extremely powerful in terms of survivability … It could be said that! Dongbo Xue Ying already had the demeanor of a grade one True Meaning expert.
Even if he did not grasp a grade one True Meaning in the future, he would still be qualified to be a Gold Order Divine Emissary!
More importantly!
He had not gone through too many life and death situations! He had not gone through any crazy grooming! And he was still very young! This caused Dongbo Xue Ying's potential to be extremely high.
For example, that handsome teenager, Lie Huo, who died previously, had only grasped hold of a grade three True Meaning when he was captured! After much grooming, he grasped hold of four grade three True Meanings before evolving it into a grade two True Meaning, Space Ripple! It could be said that the potential of that handsome teenager, Lie Huo, had been squeezed out. The threat of death had left them numb!
That's right, numb!
The fear of death would cause a Transcendent's life force to erupt! But after experiencing it many times, they would become numb to it. The effects of life and death training would become weaker and weaker, causing them to no longer have any potential. A mere grade two True Meaning, Space Ripple, might be very precious to the Xia people. But to the apex superpower of the Deity world, the Temporal Temple, they would rather continue squeezing them dry in hopes that they could improve!
No matter how many weaklings there were, the help they could provide was limited.
Only the birth of a powerful existence would allow the Temporal Temple to become even stronger!
"Gold Order Divine Emissary?" Dongbo Xue Ying laughed and shook his head, "According to what I know, even with the protection of your Temporal Temple, you can still be killed by some powerful existences from the Deity world."
"Yes." The indifferent voice calmly said, "I am ultimately just a powerful Deity weapon that can protect you from many different dimensions! I cannot block all the powerful existences from the Deity world, but I will try my best to prevent such a thing from happening. "
"I still refuse," Dongbo Xue Ying said.
"Are you afraid of death?" The indifferent voice asked.
"No." Dongbo Xue Ying said.
"Freedom?" The indifferent voice continued, "I can even give you the opportunity to choose some missions. You can head to some of the worlds you wish to visit and experience things that you would never have imagined. Your strength will continue to rise, and your horizons will be broadened! The world you wish to visit will not be a small place like the mortal world, but the boundless heaven and earth of the outside world! "
"I need freedom and time!" Dongbo Xue Ying said.
"Time?" The indifferent voice retorted.
"For example, if I don't wish to take on any missions for the next 1,000 years and just stay in my hometown … you can't force me. Can you do that? "Dongbo Xue Ying asked.
"That won't do! You are still young, and it has only been a few decades since you were born. Right now is the most important time for you to develop. It is also the best opportunity for you to grasp a grade one True Meaning! "The indifferent voice rejected," The earlier you start cultivating, the more important time is! You cannot waste it. When you become a powerful existence in the Deity world, it is fine even if you squander a million years of time. But right now, you have to treasure every single year! Our Temporal Temple has set the rules for grooming. Even though Gold Order Emissaries have many privileges, the most basic rules cannot be violated! "
"Then there's no other way." Dongbo Xue Ying shook his head.
… …
After cleaning up the battlefield and collecting the treasures of the dead Reincarnators and demons, he tore open the space membrane.
Hua —
Dongbo Xue Ying walked out. Very soon, many figures flew over from all directions. There were a total of six of them. They were Faction Head Si Kong Yang, City Lady Bu, Mountain Lord He, Qiu Chi Bai, the scarlet-robed Xi Yun, and the Cloud City Vice City Lord, the chubby Chun Yuan.
"Is it settled?" Qiu Chi Bai asked.
"It's settled. Not a single one was left alive," Dongbo Xue Ying replied.
"How did you get discovered this time? Was there an accident?" Si Kong Yang was puzzled.
"It's the Temporal Temple." Dongbo Xue Ying shook his head helplessly, "I didn't expect that my raid on the demon's nest would actually be used by the Temporal Temple to temper their members."
"Haha, I've long heard of the Temporal Temple's great name. But after living for over a thousand years, I've never met anyone from the Temporal Temple." Chun Yuan beamed.
City Lady Bu was also smiling at Dongbo Xue Ying.
City Lady Bu was extremely beautiful, but she had a domineering air about her! At this moment, the corners of her mouth were curled up as she looked at Dongbo Xue Ying with a smile.
Everyone present was in an extremely good mood. The way they looked at Dongbo Xue Ying was slightly different.
"Dongbo, you should know that you've saved half of the Transcendents of our Xia people!" Xi Yun said.
"This contribution is truly great!" Mountain Lord He also praised.
"Now that the news has started to spread, it won't be long before all the Transcendents of our Xia people know about this." Qiu Chi Bai said, "At that time, many Transcendents will be grateful to you! Haha, your communication wristband will definitely be very busy. "
"What about the other two demon lairs?" Dongbo Xue Ying asked.
"We've also sent Demigods to try and surround them. The demons from those two lairs have indeed retreated in different directions. We only managed to kill two of them by a fluke. We didn't meet the others, "Qiu Chi Bai explained.
Dongbo Xue Ying wasn't surprised. This was all within his expectations.
… …
After bidding farewell to the Demigods, Dongbo Xue Ying rushed back to his hometown.
"Junior Brother Snow Eagle, you've grasped hold of a grade two True Meaning? Amazing, haha, I admire you! "
"Junior Brother Snow Eagle, I'm Zhuo Yi! You're too amazing. You've grasped hold of a grade two True Meaning, and you've even saved many Transcendents of our Xia people. There aren't many people I admire, but you're the one I admire the most. You're too amazing. "
"Little Brother Snow Eagle, you've eradicated three demon lairs? That's amazing! In a few days, I'll go to Snowrock Mountain to find you for a drink. Don't look down on this sister. "
Several Transcendents had already sent messages to Dongbo Xue Ying.
Hu.
Dongbo Xue Ying appeared in the sky above Snowrock Mountain. With a single glance, he saw a green-robed girl standing on the roof of Snowrock Castle.
Why did she reject the Temporal Temple?
Because her goal was different.
Perhaps other Transcendents would pursue their own strength and become a Deity.
But he was different. What he pursued was to protect the people he loved and the people who loved him! The girl in front of him, his little brother, his father, and his mother … all of them were worthy of him using his life to protect them!
Cultivation was important, but compared to his loved ones, it wasn't worth mentioning! His cultivation was also for the sake of protecting his loved ones.
If he were to waste his time on adventuring in the millions of worlds, pursuing his so-called strength and leaving his family … it would be putting the cart before the horse! If he were to live for tens of thousands of years, he would become an extremely powerful existence. But by then, his family would no longer be around, and he would be a loner. So what if he was powerful?
Even if he was powerful, he would still be a loner.
Furthermore!
So what if he could accompany his loved ones in the mortal world? He could still become stronger and stronger. Hadn't he already grasped hold of three different grade two True Meanings?
"Jing Qiu." Dongbo Xue Ying landed.
Crystal tears could be seen in Jing Qiu's eyes. She already knew what had happened. Currently, the news had spread like wildfire amongst the Transcendents. Even though she saw Dongbo Xue Ying standing in front of her, she still felt a lingering fear when she thought about how she had risked her life to attack the demon's nest. But she understood that for the sake of the Xia people, it was not wrong to do so!
Jing Qiu hugged Dongbo Xue Ying tightly. Dongbo Xue Ying was startled. He could feel Jing Qiu's emotions. His heart warmed, and he revealed a smile.
This, was what he was willing to use his life to protect!
