Huiming replied, "Junior Brother Dongbo, I am currently staying at the Distant Dust Temple. If you wish to find me, you can go there to look for me. As for normal communication … you can do so through communication treasures. "
"Alright." Dongbo Xue Ying and Huiming left an imprint on each other so that communication treasures could be used to sense each other.
Soon, Senior Huiming bade farewell and left.
"Senior Huiming is greatly respected by the disciples of Crimson Rock Mountain. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed extraordinary. He even came to see me and treated me so courteously." Dongbo Xue Ying sighed. Although he had potential, news of his grade one True Meaning had never been revealed. Secondly, Senior Huiming was also a grade one True Meaning Transcendent. He was also the only grade one True Meaning Transcendent that Sacred Master Crimson Dust had accepted. He was now a stage four World Deity.
"I heard that Senior Huiming suffered a setback in his love life when he was young and became a monk." Jing Qiu sighed. "His talent was outstanding, and he was even a grade one True Meaning Transcendent. Later on, because of a grudge, he began to spread his faith without restraint … and quickly became a stage four World Deity."
Dongbo Xue Ying nodded.
Faith …
It was a huge help to one's cultivation! By accumulating the power of faith, one's cultivation speed would explosively increase. A grade one True Meaning Transcendent with outstanding talent would naturally improve by leaps and bounds. However, faith was the key to success and failure! Faith was also bound by karma. The more faith one absorbed, the harder it would be to transcend. This was also the biggest obstacle for stage four World Deities to become powerful existences.
Even so, there were still countless World Deities who continued to spread and absorb faith. If they did not absorb faith, they would at most become stage two World Deities. If they absorbed faith, they would have a chance of becoming stage three World Deities! Those who were extremely lucky might even become stage four World Deities. Naturally, they were all willing to absorb faith. As for those who could not become powerful existences?
Since ancient times, how many had become powerful existences in the Deity world and Dark Abyss?
It was too difficult.
Of course, grade one True Meaning Transcendents would usually not absorb faith unless there was a special reason. Dongbo Xue Ying had also been warned by the weapon spirit, Crimson Rock, not to absorb faith. That was because a grade one True Meaning Transcendent's potential was extremely great, and his chances of becoming a stage four World Deity were already very high. It was not worth it for him to save time by absorbing faith, which was akin to cutting off all hope of becoming a powerful existence.

Time passed day by day, and it was finally the day of the Myriad Flower Feast.
Bloodshed God Palace, main hall.
The main hall was extremely tall, and at the highest point was the place where the Myriad Flower Feast was held. Clouds and mist surrounded the main hall, and one after another, great existences flew over from afar. Each of these great existences had their own unique auras. Some were blazing hot, as though they could instantly incinerate everything within a million miles, some were reserved like a bottomless abyss, and some were so sharp that they tore through the void, causing Dongbo Xue Ying and the others' hearts to palpitate.
Dongbo Xue Ying and the other 1,900 great existences were currently seated at the outermost perimeter, each with a table of food in front of them.
There were also soldiers standing guard around them, the weakest of which was a stage one World Deity. Occasionally, a stage two World Deity could be seen as well. As for the area near His Majesty and the other powerful existences, there were even stage three World Deity guards standing guard respectfully.
"I remember that General Ying's father is a stage three World Deity and His Majesty's personal guard." Dongbo Xue Ying glanced in the direction of His Majesty and saw the stage three World Deity guards standing guard. "I reckon that General Ying's father is one of them."
As Deities, they could not clearly see what was happening within the banquet.
All they could feel was an invisible pressure, and when they looked over with their naked eyes, all they could see was a blur.
...
Blood Blade was seated at the highest point. He was dressed in a crimson robe, and his eyes were deep and serene. The area around him seemed to be filled with endless darkness and destruction. Just by sitting there, he was able to instill fear in the other powerful existences who were participating in the banquet. Beside him, there were three others who were seated at the same height as him. The aura of these three people was so strong that it was comparable to that of Blood Blade.
One of them was a Ruler from the Dark Abyss. His body was huge and towering, and his eyes were filled with an endless bloodthirst. The Dark Abyss had a total of three Rulers. Just like how the Temporal Island Lord, Blood Blade, and the Myriad God Palace Head stood at the apex of the Deity world, these three Rulers also stood at the apex of the Dark Abyss.
There was another Abyss Ruler. He was a cold male dressed in golden armor. His gaze was the sharpest, and none of the powerful existences below dared to look him in the eye.
The final person was a graceful and luxurious woman. Her aura was the most reserved and gentle, though she was not at a disadvantage when compared to Blood Blade and the others.
Other than these four …
The other powerful existences were all seated below. They were grand and majestic, and there were close to a hundred of them! Some of them came from the Dark Abyss, while others were subordinates of the Bloodshed God Palace. Most of them were independent powerful existences who did not belong to any organization. These powerful existences were all extremely arrogant, and most of them were unwilling to serve others. Even powerful existences like Blood Blade, Temporal Island Lord, and Myriad God Palace Head weren't willing to serve them.
For instance, the Bloodshed God Palace. Even though they had several powerful existences under them, some of them were seeking refuge, while others had a teacher-disciple relationship.
Other than the powerful existences, there were also stage four World Deities attending the banquet! However, all stage four World Deities belonged to the Bloodshed God Palace, and stage four World Deities from outside organizations were not qualified to be invited.
"Old monkey, I heard that you snatched a Sun Star Nucleus Stone from the Sun Star?"
"Who are you listening to? Sun Star Nucleus Stone? The Sun Star hasn't produced a Star Nucleus Stone for hundreds of billions of years, and I managed to snatch one? All of you must have gone crazy thinking about the Sun Star Nucleus Stone. "
…
"Come, come, come, let's have a drink. Brother Wu, we haven't seen each other in a long time. I didn't expect you to come to the Myriad Flower Feast."
"I've been in seclusion for a long time. I've made some progress, so I came out to relax."
…
The Almighties chatted in twos and threes. Those who were close to each other sat together. Those with grudges kept their distance.
"Everyone." Blood Blade sat high above, his voice somewhat cold. "With so many good friends here, the Myriad Flower Feast is so lively. I'm also very happy. Everyone, let's continue drinking and chatting. While we're chatting, how about watching the little fellows from our Bloodshed God Palace compete?"
The powerful existences present all turned to look outside.
Their gazes easily landed on the 1,900 Deities outside. Most of them, however, were just there to watch the show. After all, only the powerful existences of the Bloodshed God Palace were allowed to accept disciples. Other powerful existences could not accept disciples.
Chihuo Laozu was also among the powerful existences. He was also an idle powerful existence who had not joined the Bloodshed God Palace.
"Let's begin, then." Blood Blade calmly ordered. To the God Emperor who had stood at the apex for so many years, the Myriad Flower Feast was just a gathering of old friends. As for choosing disciples? That was just a minor matter. Even those with sufficiently high statuses would find it hard to accept disciples. For instance, Blood Blade was too lazy to even accept grade one True Meaning Transcendents.
*****
To powerful existences, it was a minor matter and a pleasure.
But to Dongbo Xue Ying and the other Deities, it was a rare opportunity! How difficult would it be to gather so many powerful existences without such a good opportunity?
"Everyone, prepare yourselves." A blood-armored general walked out from within. His aura was vast and mighty. He was a stage four World Deity. His gaze swept across the 1,900 Deities. "I'll send you all over now to begin the Bloodshed God Palace Battle."
Dongbo Xue Ying, Seventh Mei Yu, Jiu She, Drunk Guest, and many other powerful Deities from the other prefectures were all waiting quietly.
Finally —
The blood-armored general activated the array. Beneath the region where Dongbo Xue Ying and the other 1,900 Deities were located, a golden array lit up. An unseen force immediately wrapped around the consciousness of Dongbo Xue Ying and the others and sent them flying into the distance! For a moment, Dongbo Xue Ying and the others lost consciousness. Their consciousness was transported to another location.
… …
"Mn?"
Dongbo Xue Ying looked at the towering mountain in front of him, as well as the mountain range in the distance. There were countless caves within this mountain range, and within these caves were shrouded in mist. Violet mist, black mist, golden mist …
Xue Ying swept his gaze across the area and saw several other Deity experts standing in midair. Clearly, there were a total of nineteen hundred Deities scattered throughout the mountain range.
"Truly formidable. My consciousness was transported here so easily?" Dongbo Xue Ying sensed his own body. "Furthermore, this body is exactly the same as my true body. The same Time Immemorial Body level three, and the same Great Chaotic True Force."
The Bloodshed God Palace Battle was the safest! Because it was merely a consciousness descending! Even if one died in battle, their consciousness would only return.
"First place in the ranking battle and second place in the survival battle of the Calm Sea Prefecture, Dongbo?" In the distance, a Deity frowned when he saw Dongbo Xue Ying. He immediately flew off in another direction.
Clearly, Dongbo Xue Ying was ranked at the very front of the 1,900 Deities. Only those who grasped grade one Deity Hearts could suppress him.
