Different Styles of Group Members

[Ding, Covering the Sky with One Leaf joined the Chat Group.]

[Ding, Visiting Your Ancestral Grave joined the Chat Group.]

[Ding, Beauty Within the Books joined the Chat Group.]

[Ding, Huntuo the Immortal Who Advises Death joined the Chat Group.]

Lying on his bed, Shi Jue began randomly pulling people in. The four people he had brought in were all from the era of Shrouding the Heavens; no one from the era of Sacred Ruins had joined.

"Hiss!"

"Great Sage Huntuo."

"Good heavens, even this terrifying character joined!"

The moment Shi Jue saw the name Huntuo, he could no longer remain calm. In the era of Shrouding the Heavens, Huntuo was absolutely a terrifying existence who could not be ignored, someone comparable to Shen Gongbao.

One had "Fellow Daoist, Please Stay," while the other had "Harmony is Precious in All Things." Both could be called laws of causality.

At the peak of immortals, proud above all the world—first came An Lan, then came Heaven; at the peak of words, advising all the world—there was Huntuo, the immortal who advised death.

The title God of Misfortune was no joke.

Covering the Sky with One Leaf was probably Ye the Heavenly Emperor, Ye Fan. Visiting Your Ancestral Grave, with its foul and smoking lack of virtue, was probably Duan De—the one people said should never be too Duan De. Beauty Within the Books was probably Yan Ruyu, descendant of the Azure Emperor.

[Shi Jue: Fellow Daoists, change your nicknames back. There is no need to be so wary.]

[Ye Fan: This is a Chat Group? It scared me so badly I nearly drove my Mercedes-Benz into a ditch. Is this a Golden Finger?]

As a modern Earthling, Ye Fan knew about the Golden Fingers from novels, so he found it easier to accept than Duan De and the others.

Still, his was an ordinary world. What use was a system here, especially a Chat Group?

[Ye Fan: There is no spiritual energy revival or anything here. It is a very ordinary world. What use is this Chat Group?!]

[Shi Jue: An ordinary world? You think your world is ordinary?]

This should have been Ye Hei before Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin set off. Mentally, he was still more or less an ordinary person.

Ye Fan pulled his Mercedes-Benz over to the roadside. When he saw Shi Jue's words, his heart skipped a beat.

No way... could this really be some cultivation world?

[Ye Fan: Group leader, do you know about my world?]

[Shi Jue: More or less. Did you just graduate, or have you been out of school for several years already?]

Unlike those people who obtained Chat Groups and acted like mysterious prophets, Shi Jue's approach centered on harmony.

The others were all watching silently. After all, in cultivation worlds, there were no novels related to Chat Groups.

[Ye Fan: I graduated half a year ago and am looking for work.]

[Shi Jue: Oh, then in a little over two years, you will begin a magnificent and turbulent journey.]

[Shi Jue: Your world is not ordinary. I will not reveal too much, and even if I told you your entire future, would you still continue according to what I said?]

[Ye Fan: ...]

Ye Fan smiled and did not ask about his future. If he could become Ye the Heavenly Emperor in the future, he naturally possessed the courage and will for it.

A future he already knew would be meaningless. He had never been someone content with peace and quiet, and now he was looking forward to two years from now.

[Ye Fan: Haha, Group Leader, you understand me. No need to tell me about the future, but what you have told me is already enough. Thank you.]

His parents were still at home. Once he embarked on that journey, he would not be able to return for a long time. They were his only concern.

The next two years or so would be enough for him to make arrangements. At the very least, he had to repay them and earn enough money for the rest of their lives. He could even encourage them to try harder and have another child, so they would not have to worry about being lonely.

If... if he could return in the future, he would definitely bring them with him.

[Shi Jue: No problem. Just send me some of those Daoist scriptures when the time comes. I happen to need them.]

[Shi Jue: My world is too dangerous. I need to get myself some means of staying alive.]

[Ye Fan: Haha, got it. I happen to be interested in ancient texts. I will sort some out and send them to you then.]

[Shi Jue: What about the remaining few? Duan De? Yan Ruyu? Huntuo?]

[Duan De: Hehe, it seems the Group Leader recognized this poor Daoist. This poor Daoist does not need to know the future. Just tell me where the Great Emperor's Tomb is, and we can split it between us when the time comes.]

Shi Jue smiled speechlessly. Grave robbing was such a brainless thing that, across the entire trilogy, it was incredibly outrageous and exceedingly rare. The most famous practitioner was none other than Duan De.

[Yan Ruyu: ...]

Amid beautiful mountains, several palaces appeared and disappeared through the mist. Clouds and fog swirled around them, ethereal as a Pure Land. An incomparably beautiful woman in white stood at the edge of a cliff, otherworldly and serene, as though she might ride the wind away at any moment.

"Duan De? He seems to be that notorious fat man." Yan Ruyu's long eyelashes trembled, and her red lips parted slightly. At the mention of a Great Emperor's Tomb, her mind drifted for a moment.

She somehow felt that the tomb of her ancestor, the Azure Emperor, would be targeted by this man named Duan De.

Shi Jue immediately found it amusing. Yan Ruyu was probably a little panicked now. After all, her family happened to possess a Great Emperor's Tomb. Yan Ruyu had been described as a perfect woman, and he wondered what she actually looked like.

[Huntuo: Fellow Daoist Duan De, harmony is precious in all things. Tomb robbing goes against the principles of Heaven.]

[Duan De: Damn it, this poor Daoist has dug up who knows how many of them. Do I need you to advise me?]

[Shi Jue: Duan De, you had better not provoke Huntuo. This man is unbelievably unlucky. Be careful not to suffer misfortune!]

[Duan De: How so?]

Duan De's heart tightened. In his eyes, this Group Leader seemed to know his stuff.

"Buzz!"

"Damn it, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate!"

Before Shi Jue could answer, every formation in the tomb passage before him suddenly lit up without warning. Terrifying killing intent emerged as the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth frantically gathered, transforming into energy for the formations. Duan De's fat face turned green as he hurriedly activated an Array-Breaking Talisman and fled outside.

This tomb belonged to a Great Sage-level expert. The killing power of the formations within was undoubtedly astonishing. Even if he did not die, he would lose a layer of skin.

[Shi Jue: Duan De? Are you still there? When you heard the words "harmony is precious in all things," you should have found a place to hide.]

[Duan De: Huff, huff, huff... This poor Daoist was scared to death. Immeasurable fucking Heavenly Venerate, I nearly got trapped in the tomb!]

[Duan De: Hiss, this Huntuo is a little too wicked. He only said one sentence, and this poor Daoist actually made such a rare mistake.]

[Duan De: Damn it, is this guy the God of Misfortune or something?]

[Huntuo: ...]

Great Sage Huntuo did not know how to explain himself. He had realized that there was something rather wicked about his mouth as well.

Duan De's misfortune had also been within Shi Jue's expectations. The saying Huntuo the Immortal Who Advises Death was no joke. Still, at the Great Sage realm, Huntuo was openly one of the strongest people in the group. Duan De, that black-hearted fellow, never flaunted his strength, but after robbing so many tombs without being beaten to death, his strength was certainly not weak either.

In short, although this first batch of group members had vastly different styles, Shi Jue was very satisfied. Especially Ye Fan—his fortune was astonishing. He was the protagonist of the era of Shrouding the Heavens. Shi Jue could not bring himself to fawn over him; maintaining a friendship would be enough, while occasionally getting some Great Emperor scriptures, the Nine Secret Techniques, and the like from him.
