Chapter 1444 - 1045: It’s a Notification, Not a Negotiation

Chapter 1444: Chapter 1045: It’s a Notification, Not a Negotiation

Jiang Yuan originally wanted to find a suitable opportunity to discuss migration plans with the lords he could contact.

But the plan had just begun and wasn’t even close to fruition, so he felt it wasn’t the right time to reveal everything.

Unexpectedly, even the Great Demon Beasts were conducting foreign trade to exchange for cultivation resources, and they had made a fuss with the lords over the sealing of the Otherworld Teleportation Array.

However, other lords were dealing with their own tricky issues concerning the Great Demon Beasts, so they couldn’t attend the gathering. Whoever was available would come first to discuss in detail.

"Lord Jiang, please don’t rush. This is not the place for talking, please follow me." He stood up and gestured for her to follow.

The other party was puzzled. Having traveled all the way to the small market, this general store seemed quiet enough for a conversation, so why the need to leave?

Nevertheless, she followed the host’s lead. Since she sought their help, she naturally had to comply with their arrangements.

As the door opened, the noisy stone street vanished, replaced by a courtyard that resembled an Immortal Realm!

Hiss! Jiang Bai secretly took a deep breath, thinking, what kind of teleportation method is this? How come I didn’t sense anything? The door I just stepped through changed places in an instant, simply unbelievable!

What shocked her even more was what followed.

Just as she followed Jiang Yuan out of the Floating Market with a mind full of questions, a Spirit Pool blooming with hibiscus flowers came into view, with rich spiritual energy that seemed tangible, floating gently like clouds or mist in the courtyard.

Looking further afield, the Divine Mountain appeared with countless cultivators laboring within, and the Turquoise Pool was beautiful and serene.

In mid-air, the scenery transformed with each step in the Immortal Mountain Palace; a luxurious ship gracefully passed by in the sky. Even though Jiang Bai considered herself worldly, she had to admit that even a single tree or flower here was extraordinary!

"This is a small courtyard I’ve tidied up, where only my own people live. No matter what topic is discussed, it’s very safe, and you don’t have to worry about eavesdroppers." Jiang Yuan invited her to sit by the pavilion next to the Furong Pool and, with a flick of his finger, took out a teapot and teacups from the storage bag, pouring two cups of Spirit Tea.

Jiang Bai was about to praise this mortal paradise when she heard a sound of something slicing through the air. Then a "big tortoise" with a branch of red plum blossoms on its back rushed onto Mr. Jiang’s leg, clawing and shouting, "Master, I’m terribly thirsty, I want a cup of tea! I want the thousand-year Immortal Ganoderma tea!"

In fact, Yan Xuan wanted to beg for some wine to drink, as the spiritual wine brewed by the master was rich and mellow, the more you drank, the more you wanted to drink.

But the master was always worried that drinking too much wine would affect its true form and cause trouble, so it didn’t dare ask freely, opting instead to ask for a cup of tea.

"Don’t you see there’s a guest here? Making a fuss is improper." Just as Jiang Yuan lifted the teapot, Yan Xuan raised its head and opened its mouth wide, "Just pour it directly, using a teacup is too cumbersome."

As a lord blessed by the Power of Heaven and Earth, Jiang Bai detected the extraordinary aura of the "big tortoise" and, taking advantage of the opportunity while it begged for tea, focused her gaze, causing her pupils to suddenly contract—Divine Beast Black Tortoise?!

Impossible! Surely this must be a mistake!

How could the newly ascended Divine Beast Black Tortoise possibly address a mere human race cultivator as "master"? And why would it become so small and hide here to idle away?

But the aura emanating from it was unmistakable.

On the day the Divine Beast ascended, she had witnessed it personally and was both shocked and thrilled. To behold it in her lifetime was truly rare. It not only fortified her belief in the Ascension of the Great Path but also filled her with hope for the future of the Wilderness!

However, she was just a small mortal lord, and being able to admire the might of the Divine Beast was already an immense fortune. She dared not hope to catch the attention of the Black Tortoise.

At this moment, suddenly facing it in the small courtyard, Jiang Bai was a bit overwhelmed and felt dizzy.

"Gulp, gulp! Ah~," after taking a few sips to quench its thirst, Yan Xuan smacked its lips in satisfaction. As the guardian and master of this territory, the Divine Beast naturally saw through the other’s identity at a glance and laughed, "I think Lord Jiang won’t mind. After all, isn’t your visit here to borrow the teleportation array?

Besides, when the time comes for the master to set right the Wilderness World, perhaps Lord Jiang might even take residence in the small courtyard. A lord of her stature certainly wouldn’t be so petty, would she?"

At this time, Jiang Bai had not removed her disguise. Prior to entering the Cyan Fish Mountain Market, she had to suppress her cultivation to appear like an ordinary Little Demon Cultivator.

A lord can borrow the power of heaven and earth, and even if their realm hasn’t reached the Tribulation Crossing Realm, relying on this power they can suppress Tribulation Crossing Realm demon cultivators or demon beasts.

She believed her disguise was flawless, yet the other party could see through her true identity with just a glance. It really must be the Divine Beast Black Tortoise!

"I hope Lord Jiang won’t mind, Yan Xuan has always been unruly," Jiang Yuan said helplessly, "After all, having just ascended, it now independently bears the responsibility of guarding this world, facing great pressure externally, it finds some freedom at home.

The previously mentioned issue with the Otherworld Teleportation Array being unusable was because I had Yan Xuan seal off the entire world to prevent some pests from escaping amidst the chaos."

The information was overwhelming, and Jiang Bai momentarily felt as if she had entered an Illusion Realm.

A Divine Beast that has ascended could actually have a master?!

And it followed its master’s commands to seal off the entire world.

Could this be true? Never had she heard of a Divine Beast having a master who it would listen to! After carefully considering the entire meeting process, there didn’t seem to be an opportunity to be easily deceived, so was this all real?

"Uh...I didn’t quite understand for a moment, could Mr. Jiang explain it a bit more clearly?" She no longer paid attention to the surrounding Immortal-like scenery, secretly became highly vigilant, and prepared to listen carefully and analyze the truths and falsehoods.

"I should have given the lords a heads-up earlier, which was indeed my oversight. To put it bluntly, the whole matter is not complicated. The Wilderness World was seized by the Demon Race from the Human Race, which Lord Jiang should know the background of, so I won’t repeat it.
