Heading to the Miao Sect

"My daughter is even more outrageous than me, how is that possible? I've never seen anyone more outrageous than me."

Xu Bai said that he himself was the most outrageous, and he had never seen anyone more outrageous than him.

Chief Mu chimed in, "You are indeed quite outrageous, but in terms of insight, Eunuch Wei is more insightful than me. After all, he is old, you know how old people are."

Seizing every opportunity to attack Eunuch Wei is something Chief Mu often does, which is why he's being sarcastic and mocking Eunuch Wei now.

Of course, Chief Mu was very curious, because he didn't know the situation of Xu Bai's daughter, but Eunuch Wei seemed to know.

Eunuch Wei originally wanted to retort, but considering that Xu Bai was in a hurry, he put the matter aside and temporarily abandoned his plan to bicker.

He lifted the wine jar, drank the remaining wine, and then slowly spoke.

"Our family has indeed lived longer, and it is precisely because we have lived longer that we have seen some things."

"When I was young, when I was still a complete man, I encountered a strange guy while I was wandering around."

"That guy is strange, but also very powerful. He has a special ability, which seems to be the ability to absorb the power of others and make it his own."

Absorb the power of others and make it your own?

Xu Bai stroked his chin, secretly pondering what Eunuch Wei had said. Wasn't this ability similar to his daughter's? Could it be a special profession? He himself knew his daughter's situation best, because in his haste, he had used his True Yuan Power to investigate, and it could even absorb his own True Yuan Power. It could be said that this was an extremely overpowered ability.

When Eunuch Wei was young, he had encountered this profession. Did that mean it was the most suitable profession for his daughter? Although Xu Bai was thinking about this, he didn't interrupt and let Eunuch Wei continue.

Eunuch Wei paused slightly before continuing, "Do you think this profession is very similar to your daughter's?"

Xu Bai nodded, indicating that he indeed thought so.

Because both Eunuch Wei's description and his daughter's behavior are consistent.

But now, hearing Eunuch Wei say this, he knew there were other unforeseen circumstances.

Eunuch Wei said, "That person died, and died a terrible death. After being burst apart by someone else's power, his whole body turned into a lump of minced meat."

"Before he died, he still had some residual consciousness and told us that their experiment had failed."

"This person mentioned them, and we guessed that it must be an organization. We were young and even a bit hot-blooded at the time, so we dug a grave and buried this pile of flesh and blood. Unexpectedly, a group of people came when we were burying them."

"This group of people is extremely powerful, each of them possessing the peak of the Extraordinary Peak, and their profession is particularly strange. Each of them gives us a very ancient feeling."

"However, they didn't make things difficult for everyone. They simply took the flesh and blood away without saying a word, and that was the end of it."

At this point, Eunuch Wei stopped.

Xu Bai frowned deeply. "According to you, this isn't just something outrageous, is it? It's harmful to my daughter."

The person who had a similar situation to her daughter was eventually burst apart by the absorbed power. Will her daughter also encounter the same situation?

This ability can't be described as outrageous; it's more accurately described as an unreliable ability.

If that's the case, Xu Bai has to find a way to help his daughter solve the problem, at least he can't let this strange ability remain.

"Don't rush, let me finish speaking." Eunuch Wei reached out and patted Xu Bai's shoulder, comforting him, "That person was overwhelmed because he didn't have a way to turn his power into his own, but your daughter does."

"How do you know?" Xu Bai asked.

Wei Gong has never even met his own daughter, yet he's already made such a conclusion. Xu Bai is a little uneasy about this.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Eunuch Wei; it was mainly because this matter involved his daughter, and he was prone to making rash decisions out of concern.

Anyone would panic when their loved ones are in danger, and Xu Bai was no exception.

Please wait a moment.

Eunuch Wei did not continue speaking, but stood up and left the room, as if he had something to do.

Xu Bai Chief Mu waited patiently. After about half an hour, Eunuch Wei finally walked in from outside, carrying a yellowed book in his hand.

Before Xu Bai could even ask, Eunuch Wei spoke up.

"At that time, the man turned into a lump of flesh and the book fell to the ground. Our family picked up the book. The man's companions came over, but they only collected the man's body."

"Actually, they knew that the book was in our hands, but just as one person was about to ask everyone to hand it over, another person stopped him."

"Another person said that they would use many methods and cast a wide net, and that it was a matter of chance for the book to end up in our hands."

Xu Bai took the document and carefully considered what Eunuch Wei had said.

Especially the last sentence; when he heard the words "cast a wide net," his head went blank.

Casting a wide net reminded him of the skill of Fishing All Things, just as Gu Yao had said at the time.

Connecting the clues in his mind, Xu Bai suddenly felt that these things were also created by those Saviors.

He looked down at the book in his hands. There was no progress bar on it. After opening the book, the words inside jumped off the page.

"Experiment records?" Xu Bai raised an eyebrow and patiently read on.

Chief Mu also came over and looked at it with Xu Bai.

After they finished reading the book in the room, their expressions were identical: utter shock. The contents of the book were truly horrifying.

Xu Bai also confirmed these conjectures; it was indeed the work of the Saviors.

Although the words "Saviors" are never mentioned in the book, Xu Bai can easily make the connection after learning about these events.

According to the book, these Saviors are conducting an experiment to combine the abilities of all trades.

The subjects of this experiment were their own people; these guys were so crazy that they volunteered to participate in the experiment, wanting to merge all trades.

After a long period of experimentation, they actually figured out some methods.

They painstakingly extracted the most essential parts from all the different practices, then learned from each other, and finally came up with a complete set of techniques.

This technique has no attributes of any particular practitioner, but it has a special ability: to absorb omnipresent power and make it one's own.

To put it simply, the people in this world are originally a colorless pool of water, but because of their professions, they have dyed this pool of water with various colors. Each profession is a color, and this originally pure water has become multicolored.

The technique developed by these Saviors is colorless water.

After this progress, they began experimenting, and the subjects of their experiments were themselves.

They voluntarily abandoned the abilities of those in the trade and started practicing this technique from scratch.

As it turned out, their conjecture was correct; they were indeed able to absorb the power of others and use it for their own purposes, transforming it into power that had no one else in the industry to rely on.

This power has no bottlenecks and requires no cultivation; it can be obtained simply by continuously absorbing other forms of energy.

If that's really the case, then they will create a terrifying person.

But to their surprise, they were wrong, and very wrong at that.

They overlooked the most important point: the absorbed power was transformed into power without any insiders, but without the various techniques of insiders, it was able to release this power.

Therefore, although he was able to convert the power into his own, the power without any attribute remained in his body, far exceeding what he should have at his current level, and it accumulated more and more within him.

He can break through, but the more he breaks through, the faster he absorbs power, eventually reaching a point where he can no longer control it.

They also tried to get the test subjects to cultivate their abilities, but they found that it was impossible for them to cultivate.

In an effort to solve this problem, they worked tirelessly day and night, trying to come up with solutions, but ultimately found themselves powerless to do so.

The power of colorlessness comes from many professions. When they want to cultivate the power of those in their professions and unleash that power, they find that it seems as if Daoist Sect has been closed from the outside.

They racked their brains but couldn't crack the code, and in the end, they could only watch their companions die.

That concludes the content of this book.

Xu Bai knew what his group of guys wanted to do.

These guys didn't give up; they wanted to develop a monster to combat resource depletion.

Because they have already experienced it once, they do not want to experience it a second time. They are unaware of the existence of the Supreme Saint and believe that the root of everything still lies in the depletion of resources.

This ability to absorb power and make it one's own has no bottlenecks or thresholds; perhaps they want to use this method to reach the realm of Exiting Sainthood.

But none of that matters. What matters is that what he wants isn't in there.

Xu Bai put down the book in his hand. "They still haven't said how my daughter's situation is any different."

The book is full of experimental records and various conjectures, but it doesn't mention his daughter's situation.

Whether his daughter can release the power she absorbed remains an unknown, and even Xu Bai is unsure.

It seems that the daughter is absorbing power very quickly right now, so there are no worries about the future. But who knows what the future holds?

Eunuch Wei nodded and said, "The person who died said one thing before he died."

"That person said that they were not capable of accessing this supreme power because they were only a part of it."

A part of the supreme?

Xu Bai didn't understand the meaning of those words.

Beside him, Chief Mu seemed to understand and asked, "How come I didn't know about this?"

Eunuch Wei shook his head and said, "Only His Majesty and I know about this. When I told His Majesty, he said that the fewer people who know about this, the better."

Having received a reasonable explanation, Chief Mu said nothing. After all, the matter was indeed very mysterious, and if it were him, he wouldn't tell anyone other than His Majesty.

Chief Mu looked at Xu Bai and said, "If that's the case, your daughter should be alright."

Hearing this, Xu Bai felt even more confused. Although he was strong and had reached the Saintly Realm, his basic knowledge was still weak.

Even though he had experienced a lot and had acquired a lot of basic knowledge, he still seemed to know very little when facing Chief Mu and Eunuch Wei.

Chief Mu explained, "Just now, Eunuch Wei said that they are only a part of the Supreme Being and are not qualified to come into contact with this Supreme Being. So who is this Supreme Being referring to?"

Supreme?

Xu Bai froze, his mind racing. Soon, he realized a possibility and pointed to himself. "Me?"

This so-called power of adapting and utilizing others is derived from the integration of many people in the industry. In fact, this situation is not only similar to that of my daughter, but also to that of myself.

Looking closely at my current situation, I don't know how many special skills I've integrated; I can be considered to have absorbed the strengths of many schools.

Most importantly, while others were unaware of the Saviors's situation, he was fully aware.

The Saviors was originally a result of the previous cheat codes being dispersed, while he himself possessed a complete cheat code.

"Is this related to my daughter?"

"Bloodline." Eunuch Wei cut to the chase. "Do you know how domineering your power is?"

overbearing?

Xu Bai stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "If it refers to True Yuan Power, it should be quite domineering."

"Who would dare to absorb such domineering power? Only your daughter would dare to do such a thing, and this must be due to the connection of bloodlines," Eunuch Wei continued.

Upon hearing this, Xu Bai fell silent, still somewhat uneasy.

This explanation of bloodline causality was not something Xu Bai felt comfortable with, because he valued concrete evidence above all else, and he found it hard to believe without it.

"Sigh..." Eunuch Wei sighed, "This is the only explanation we can give. You can actually relax. If something really happens, there's a Exiting Sainthood here, so it's not a big problem."

"And even if you're not comfortable with Chief Mu, there's a way to verify it. The method is simple: have your daughter learn the skills of those in the industry. If she can learn them, it proves that she has solved the experimental difficulties of that group of people."

Xu Bai's eyes lit up.

Yes, that's a good idea! The reason those guys failed was that they couldn't learn the skills of those in the industry, which led to them accumulating power beyond their own level, but they had no way to release it.

If my daughter can learn skills in other professions, wouldn't that solve the problem?

Etc!

Xu Bai pondered for a moment and said, "So it seems that it's even more outrageous than mine."

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that my own cheat ability still needs to work on the progress bar, which requires time. Although there is no bottleneck, time is a big problem, but my daughter is different.

She just needs to absorb it. If she can really learn the skills of other professions, she can then use those professions to express them.

They might even be able to learn more trades.

This situation is similar to my own, but it doesn't require as much effort as it does for me.

Of course, Xu Bai would be very happy if it could be confirmed.

It's certainly something to be happy about when your daughter becomes very strong.

Xu Bai was happy for a while, but he didn't feel too depressed now, as the matter needed to be verified later.

He turned to look at Eunuch Wei Chief Mu, and said, "You two should have guessed my abilities by now, right?"

Chief Mu shook his head and said, "I only knew that you studied a wide variety of subjects in great depth, but I never expected you to produce something so supreme for me."

Eunuch Wei said, "If you don't tell us yourself, we'll just be guessing. It's the same with us; we only know that you've learned a lot."

He has learned a lot, so there's no problem with that. People in the martial arts world know that he has learned a lot.

As for revealing his cheat ability, Xu Bai had no such intention. The cheat ability was too interconnected, and he couldn't tell anyone. If it were to become connected with the Supreme Saint, it would be troublesome and would only harm others.

As long as he doesn't say it, people will only know that he learns quickly; no one will know that there is such a thing as a progress bar.

Having resolved one issue, Xu Bai was overjoyed. He glanced at the sky; it was getting late. He decided to set off immediately and head to the Miao Sect first.

After resolving the Miao Sect issue, we can conveniently go and act as bait to lure out those two big fish.

Xu Bai didn't linger, clasped his hands in farewell, and left.

The two, Chief Mu, did not stop him and waited for him to leave with smiles on their faces.

After Xu Bai left, Eunuch Wei sighed.

"This child is growing up really fast. In the blink of an eye, he has become a master who has entered the realm of sainthood."

There was a hint of emotion in his words, after all, even he didn't know that Xu Bai would come to this.

He admired Xu Bai Xu Bai and even treated him like family, placing high expectations on him. However, in his mind, Xu Bai would at most reach the Extraordinary Peak, and he had never really thought about him becoming a saint.

"Even you have reached the Saint level, let alone this child." Chief Mu said, "Eunuch Wei, if we can successfully deal with those two Barbarian Tribe fellows this time, I think we will soon launch the final offensive."

"Ghost Market?" Eunuch Wei frowned. "Are you prepared?"

He was unaware of the matter Supreme Saint, because Chief Mu had not told Eunuch Wei either, for fear that if Eunuch Wei became involved, it would cause unusual changes.

Although we don't know what the specific changes are, every little bit helps.

Chief Mu said slowly, "There is still one spot left to enter sainthood. After we deal with those two Barbarian Tribe guys, there will be three left. As long as these three spots are filled, we will have enough time. Once the Ghost Market is unified, we can launch a general offensive before they Exiting Sainthood."

"Hmm..." Eunuch Wei nodded silently. "I've never killed a Saint-level monster before... I should be able to see His Majesty then. I really hope that after unification, the power of the rules will disappear and His Majesty can regain consciousness."

"I hope so," said Chief Mu, his tone tinged with a hint of melancholy.

The two did not continue their conversation, Eunuch Wei left soon after, leaving Chief Mu alone in the room.

Chief Mu continued to lower his head, reviewing the memorials on the table, as if it were the same as always...

After leaving the Imperial Palace, Xu Bai went straight to the headquarters of the Miao Sect without stopping.

The headquarters of the Miao Sect was also located in the Great Chu Kingdom. He traveled there at a great speed, and no one dared to stop him. Even when he passed through some cities, he did not disembark from the air.

Even some people in the industry looked at him with admiration when they saw him.

We've been there once before, so this time Xu Bai knew the way well and landed easily in front of the Miao Sect's gate.

Looking at the various buildings built against the mountain in front of him, which seemed out of place with the name Miao Sect, Xu Bai didn't think much of it and stepped inside.

There were two disciples guarding the mountain gate. When they saw that the visitor was Xu Bai, they immediately addressed him respectfully as "Your Prince".

Xu Bai waved his hand, telling them not to be bound by formalities and to let them take him to find the leader of the Miao Sect.

The two Miao Sect didn't waste any words, but their expressions remained respectful as they led the way.

Before long, Xu Bai was led to the largest main hall.

Xu Bai sat in a chair. A female disciple came over, poured Xu Bai a cup of tea, then lowered her head and walked out.

Xu Bai took a sip. The tea was at the perfect temperature, neither too hot nor too cold, and the tea leaves were of very good quality. Although he didn't know much about tea, he found it very pleasant to drink.

I had just taken a sip when I heard footsteps outside the door.

Miao Long rushed over from outside, his face full of surprise. When he saw Xu Bai Xu Bai and felt the aura emanating from him, he suddenly bowed his head and bent over.

"Greetings, King Xu King Xu. Congratulations on your ascension to sainthood, becoming one of the nine strongest beings in the world. This is truly a cause for celebration."

Having attained sainthood, coupled with Xu Bai's status, he receives the same treatment wherever he goes.

Even as the leader of an entire force, Miao Long dared not slack off in the slightest.

Xu Bai had long since grown accustomed to the respect shown to him by these people, and waved his hand dismissively. "No need for formalities, please sit down."

His actions and posture made it seem as if he were the master of this place.

But Miao Long didn't feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, he took it for granted and carefully sat down opposite Xu Bai.

"I promised Miao Xiao that day that since I accepted your gifts, I would naturally help you resolve this. Now that I have reached the Saintly Realm, I have taken out the Golden Silk Gu," Xu Bai said, putting down his teacup.

Miao Long was overjoyed and quickly took out a wooden box from his pocket, handing it over with both hands. "Please take a look King Xu!"

The Golden Silk Gu is their most important possession and an essential element in their lineage.

Now that the problem of the Golden Silk Gu's weakness has been solved, Miao Long is naturally overjoyed.

Xu Bai took the box, gave a faint "hmm," and opened it.

Inside the wooden box lay a golden Gu worm. The worm looked golden and extremely beautiful, even exuding a sense of nobility.

After the wooden box was opened, the Golden Silk Gu seemed to sense something was wrong, and its aura changed, becoming exceptionally sharp.

Miao Xiao's expression changed drastically, fearing that the Golden Silk Gu would offend Xu Bai. He was about to say something, but before he could speak, he saw Xu Bai's gaze sharpen.

The next moment, the Golden Silk Gu became timid, behaving like a cat, and even whimpered a couple of times.

Miao Long: "..."

Is this some kind of poison or a dog? Xu Bai narrowed his eyes. "This Golden Silk Gu is quite interesting..."

Yes, we'll start attacking the Ghost Market soon.
