Chapter 780: Chapter 743: Prosperity of Ten Thousand Beasts
âUnited Federation of All Realms?â Little Qing trembled slightly, this term instantly brought forth many of her memories.
âDo you have any proof?â However, she wasnât easily convinced, mainly because Xu Baiâs appearance and timing were both rather suspicious.
Xu Bai gave a slight smile, conveying all the details of the prior transactions between them through telepathy.
An odd flicker crossed Little Greenâs eyes, which symbolized a temporary belief in Xu Baiâs identity.
âFellow Daoist, please come with me.â With a slight wave of her hand, she called off the guard team that had surrounded them, and led Xu Bai towards the towering spire-like palace in the city.
As Xu Bai flew in the sky, his divine sense swept over the continuous buildings built on the corpse of Chi Jiu.
After thousands of years of continuous development, the terrifying figure of the monster from the past could no longer be seen.
Only in a few key places could traces of the original monster vaguely be seen.
Such as the crack in the head regarded as a holy site for worship, and the monsterâs claw wrapped layer upon layer by mysterious metal buildings.
The imperial capital seemed to be built on what was originally its heart.
In the process of rushing, Xu Bai had a more intuitive understanding of this civilization closely related to Exotic Beasts.
The Exotic Beasts indeed had become an integral part of every aspect of peopleâs lives.
In just a short time on the road, Xu Bai saw a hollow-bodied dragon carrying passengers back and forth between cities, a lion-shaped creature with wings, upon which was mounted a guarding cultivator, continuously patrolling the air, and others hidden in every corner of the city like eyeballs, casting attentive glances at Xu Bai in the sky every now and thenâŠ
Not to mention the diverse and unknown Exotic Beasts carried by the empireâs residents.
âIndeed a distinctive and vibrant scene,â Xu Bai couldnât help praising.
The two flew extremely quickly, and soon arrived at the imperial palace successively.
Only then did Xu Bai realize that the towering spire he had seen before was actually a living Exotic Beast.
Or perhaps to say, the spire and the buildings within tens of miles around it all evolved from this immense Exotic Beast.
âThe strength of this Exotic Beast, I fear, is not beneath that of an ordinary Nascent Soul Monk,â Xu Bai assessed silently.
One being a sacred teacher of the Empire, and the other carrying the blood essence of the Empireâs founder.
This Exotic Beast did not take any defensive measures.
The originally smooth external surface of the spire suddenly revealed a door.
Little Green looked back at Xu Bai with some doubt, and flew in first.
Xu Bai was also fearless and followed closely behind.
Upon entering, what came into view was a lavishly decorated room.
The ceiling carved with gorgeous patterns, walls like white jade, wooden floors, a carpet covering the entire roomâŠ
There was no difference from a normal human building. There was no indication that it was inside an Exotic Beast.
The room was empty.
And Little Green didnât seem to intend to involve anyone else in the conversation.
After signaling Xu Bai to sit down, she politely asked, âWhat is your name, friend?â
âXu Bai.â
âYou are also surnamed Xu?â On hearing this name, Little Qingâs aura momentarily fluctuated.
Feeling something was wrong, she quickly calmed her mind, âLet me tell you, friend, that the royal familyâs surname is Xu.â
With that, she studied Xu Bai, watching for any changes in his expression.
Xu Baiâs performance seemed to disappoint her somewhat.
âWhat a coincidence,â Xu Bai said in astonishment, as if he hadnât known before.
âHahaâŠâ
Little Green didnât respond but after a moment of silence, she went straight to the point.
âAccording to what you said earlier, our [Empire] is about to encounter a severe disaster. What does that mean?â
Xu Bai sighed slightly, his face filled with worry.
He then reported all the things that had happened in the Xuanhuang World, such as the establishment of the Transcendence Mansion, the upgrading of the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror, the mobilization of cultivators to explore the Cave Heaven Mini World, and the ambition of unifying the world.
When talking about the establishment of the Transcendence Mansion, Little Greenâs expression remained relatively calm.
But when Xu Bai mentioned that all cultivators possessed the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror and were exploring the entrances to the mini worlds, she could no longer suppress the shock on her face.
âWhen did this happen? How did I not receive any news?â Little Green exclaimed.
âThe Xuanhuang World is now changing rapidly every moment. Development has been too fast, and various changes have been too many. Itâs quite normal for your imperial agents not to have time to report back. Even though we, the United Federation of All Realms, had anticipated the Immortal Allianceâs move this time, we didnât expect them to act so quickly and decisively. We were a beat slow, which allowed several mini worlds to be swiftly captured,â Xu Bai said, a hint of sorrow flashing in his eyes, âFortunately, your place hasnât been discovered yet.â
âAlthough we have the United Federation, we are all scattered and unable to concentrate our strength. In response to the aggressive approach of the Immortal Alliance this time, we chose to lay low for now and preserve our vitality.â
Little Greenâs eyes flashed with worry, âI fear that you can avoid it for the time being, but not for a lifetime.â
Xu Bai said boldly, âThatâs why I came to seek you, fellow Daoist. Although the power of the Tianxuan Mirror is indeed dreadful, our United Federation of All Realms also has our own foundation.â
âCurrently, the organization has developed a supreme magic treasure that can interfere with the Tianxuan Treasure Mirrorâs detection.â
Upon saying this, Xu Bai deliberately paused for a moment.
After attracting Little Greenâs attention, he continued, âBefore I came here, I had already used the power of this magic treasure to temporarily hide the entrance to your Empire. So you donât need to worry for now.â
Little canât help but look at Xu Bai, her gaze showing a hint of suspicion.
Xu Bai let out a chuckle, pulled out a folding fan, and waved it lightly in front of his chest, âIf you donât believe me, fellow Daoist, you can verify it yourself.â
Little Green shifted her gaze and chuckled, âYouâve come all the way here, I trust you wouldnât lie to us about such things. However, I am curious, how did you know about the [Empire]âs entrance?â
Xu Bai answered confidently, âHow could we dare to call ourselves the [United Federation of All Realms] without certain reassurance? Besides, donât forget fellow Daoist, we were the first to approach you for transactions.â
âWell, thank you for that. HoweverâŠâ
Little Green stared at Xu Bai and said, âYour Federation always takes an early advantage if there are profits. This time youâve taken initiative to provide protection. What are your conditions?â
Xu Bai snapped his fan shut, âI like to talk to smart people. Beside apprising you of the situation in the Xuanhuang World, I do have a mission.â
Xu Bai suddenly stood up, with a serious expression, âUnder the current powerful Immortal Alliance, we have no choice but to bear. But as you said, if we always keep hiding, we will be eventually discovered.â
âSo, before that day comes, we need to develop a force that can compete with the Immortal Alliance.â
