The Chance to Gain Progress Bars

"What did you see?" Chief Mu, who was sitting next to him, asked with great curiosity.

Because Xu Bai was using a soul-assisted technique that only he could see, no one else could. So when everyone saw Xu Bai's strange expression, they all became curious.

They were very curious about what strange thing Xu Bai had seen that made him lose control of his expression.

Disturbed by this, Xu Bai came to his senses, relaxed his mind slightly, and shook his head, saying, "I didn't see anything. Let me take another look."

Did you really not see anything?

Of course not, and no one believed it.

But since Xu Bai didn't say anything, there was nothing anyone could do. After Xu Bai shut his mouth, he continued to use the Divine Soul Assistance Technique and followed the Divine Soul to see what was happening.

Before his eyes, the surrounding scenery changed, and the ethereal figure of the Female Daoist Abbot appeared beside a river.

None of these are the most important things. The most important thing is that a powerful force is surging from the female audience member at this moment, and within this force, Xu Bai's soul is actually mixed in.

To be precise, this soul doesn't belong to Xu Bai himself; it has been refined by the Female Daoist Abbot and made her own.

The Female Daoist Abbot was enveloped in a hazy layer of divine soul power, which condensed in mid-air and formed the image of an infant, which looked extremely lifelike.

The baby was fast asleep with eyes closed, his little hands clenched into fists, and he was even breathing.

Meanwhile, the other end was connected to the Female Daoist Abbot's mind, Xu Bai could see.

Most importantly, the infant-shaped object formed from his divine soul bore a striking resemblance to him.

Xu Bai was, of course, a master of spiritual power, and he easily discerned the difference.

"I think I understand now. I felt a chill back then, and now there's a problem."

His lips twitched slightly, and in that instant, his soul suddenly became somewhat unstable, which was then sensed by the Female Daoist Abbot.

"Who!"

The Female Daoist Abbot sitting by the river suddenly withdrew her divine sense, and the baby floating in mid-air disappeared. The Female Daoist Abbot's eyes were unusually cold and sharp as she looked in Xu Bai 'Xu Bai direction through his observation.

Her eyes seemed to be murderous, and there was even a murderous aura emanating from her body, which was completely different from the Female Daoist Abbot's usual temperament.

For the Female Daoist Abbot, that intuition she just had was definitely not false. At their level, even a small intuition could cause great harm.

This should not be underestimated, but after searching along the riverbank without finding it, I was getting a little frustrated.

The Female Daoist Abbot pondered and said, "Who are you? You may meet me. Do not be timid and hesitant; this is not the behavior of True Lord."

Now that things had come to this point, Xu Bai knew he couldn't keep hiding, otherwise it would cause a misunderstanding.

But after much deliberation, Xu Bai finally managed to come up with a phrase to ease the oppressive atmosphere. "Ahem, it's been a long time."

He didn't speak, but used the transmission of his soul. After all, his soul and the Female Daoist Abbot's soul had been intertwined for some time, so he was naturally very relaxed now and could find her no matter how far apart they were.

When those words were spoken, the Female Daoist Abbot, who had been responding calmly, froze on the spot, and then her face instantly turned bright red.

She saw it all! She was cultivating alone by the river, and Xu Bai had seen everything. She felt ashamed beyond measure, but she thought she could still put up a fight, so she quickly began to explain.

"You misunderstand. This is just a cultivation method. I have relied on your divine soul to make up for my deficiencies and am getting closer and closer to becoming a saint."

For some reason, the Female Daoist Abbot suddenly felt that the more she explained, the more embarrassed she became.

That's indeed the situation, and something did happen between her and Xu Bai, so this explanation can only be forced into interpretation.

Xu Bai relayed, "I understand, I understand. Could you spare some time to come to the Great Chu Kingdom's royal palace?"

Although it can be confirmed that the Female Daoist Abbot is not bad, there is still a procedure to follow, and going out alone at this time is actually not a good thing.

The Female Daoist Abbot, having been led astray by Xu Bai, stopped talking about the topic. After hearing what Xu Bai said, her eyes lowered slightly, and she quickly realized the reason. "Is it time to start a war?"

Now, with the situation in constant turmoil and the Great Chu Kingdom having successfully unified the country, there is only one possible outcome.

—The Ghost Market.

The Female Daoist Abbot did not know about the Supreme Saint, but she knew about the Ghost Market.

Seeing that the topic had finally changed, Xu Bai nodded and said, "That's right, it's the Ghost Market. Now the Ghost Market is gone. You should hurry up and come to the Great Chu Kingdom's palace."

Xu Bai actually had quite a few ideas as well.

Liu Qingfeng and the Female Daoist Abbot are both on the list. If they can get their own people to become saints first, they will also have their own people on their side.

The Barbarian Territory and the Great Chu Imperial Palace contain countless rare and precious treasures, which might come in handy.

The Female Daoist Abbot did not ask why, because she looked troubled at that moment.

Seeing the Female Daoist Abbot's predicament, Xu Bai asked, "Has something happened?"

There's no reason to refuse an invitation like this.

The Female Daoist Abbot hesitated for a moment, a troubled look on her face, and said, "I am about to become a saint."

Xu Bai froze on the spot. "So fast?"

This was something he hadn't expected; he hadn't anticipated it would happen so quickly.

The Female Daoist Abbot explained, "Because you are in my soul... um... you should understand."

Sometimes, it doesn't need to be said too clearly, but everyone knows.

Xu Bai's tone was slightly stiff. "Could it be that my divine soul is helping you to become a saint?"

Although the topic of conversation was rather awkward, the Female Daoist Abbot had completely opened up at this point and nodded without any hesitation.

Xu Bai fell silent for a moment, then said, "Then come back after you become a saint."

Everything else is irrelevant. Once I've made contact, there's a guarantee. All I need to do is talk to Chief Mu, and that'll be enough.

That was all there was to say, and Xu Bai cut off the contact.

After Xu Bai recovered, he told Chief Mu that there was no problem.

Xu Bai's guarantee was reliable, and Chief Mu didn't say anything.

Chief Mu changed the subject, saying, "Everyone, now that this matter has been settled, let's move on to the next thing."

At this point, everyone remained silent, waiting for Chief Mu to continue.

With a wave of his hand, Chief Mu sent out a burst of Luck Power.

After the Luck Power flashed by, a map appeared, turning into scattered stars that floated in the sky.

The map transformed from a flat surface into a three-dimensional form, appearing before everyone's eyes.

Everyone can see every position on the map from various angles.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes. "A map of the world?"

This map includes not only the imperial palace of the Great Chu Kingdom, but also the Great Yue Kingdom and the fiefdoms of the barbarian tribes.

"Everyone, please look here." Chief Mu didn't waste any words, raising his hand and waving it in mid-air.

With just a simple wave of his hand, the map changed in an instant.

Many points of light lit up in the 3D map suspended in mid-air, and these points of light were gradually enlarging.

The entire map was being enlarged proportionally, and in just a moment, Xu Bai could see clearly what those light spots were.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes. "A circular pattern."

These are circular patterns, which he is very familiar with, as he often exits the Ghost Market through them.

There are many in the human world as well. When Liu Yue sent him to the Ghost Market, he also entered through a hidden location.

Xu Bai guessed that this attack might be related to the circular pattern.

Sure enough, as soon as his idea came to mind, Chief Mu spoke up.

"Everyone here knows what this is, so I won't go into details."

The very first sentence is intended to move this key point away.

Xu Bai quickly raised his hand, interrupting Chief Mu, and said very directly, "I don't understand."

The room fell silent. Only then did Chief Mu realize that among those present was an oddball, Xu Bai.

He rubbed his forehead, swallowing back what he was about to say.

After organizing his thoughts, Chief Mu said, "The circular pattern is actually the passage to the Ghost Market. In fact, if you want to go in, as long as your strength reaches the Transcendent Realm, you can enter through this place by injecting our unique power. Of course, no one would be foolish enough to go in, because once you enter the Ghost Market, your soul will be completely destroyed."

"As for where this circular pattern came from, I'm sorry, even I don't know."

Upon hearing this, Xu Bai stroked his chin, pondering silently.

He guessed that it might be related to those countless broken events, after all, the Ghost Market was also created by them, with the purpose of continuing the power of countless broken worlds.

Of course, the source is not important. Now that he knows this allows free entry and exit from the Ghost Market, Xu Bai seems to have guessed what he's going to do next. Of course, he didn't say it out loud and is still waiting.

Chief Mu explained a few more words, and after he had explained it more clearly, he slowly said, "No one can go in now, including me. After all, the ritual in the Ghost Market has not been completely completed yet. We will definitely sense it after they complete the ritual. At that time, we will each find a place to go in."

"I have already prepared the personnel coordination plan, including who you will bring, and it has been categorized. I will send it to you later."

Everyone nodded. This battle was not a battle between individuals, but a clash between two worlds.

They couldn't go alone, so they naturally had to bring their own people, with each person leading a group of people, so that everything could proceed in an orderly manner.

Xu Bai suddenly sensed something was wrong, because when Chief Mu said those words, everyone else glanced at him, but no one else did.

He felt like he was being treated differently, so he pointed to himself and asked what was on his mind.

"Does it mean I have a special mission?"

After he asked the question, Chief Mu nodded directly, indicating that it was indeed the case, and then expressed his thoughts.

"Here's the thing, we don't know when the Ghost Market will be unified, so I want to send someone in to gather information first. You are the only one who is not restricted by the Ghost Market's rules, so I want you to go in first."

"You now possess the strength to enter the third rank of Sainthood, which definitely gives you the ability to protect yourself. Moreover, you have diverse abilities and high strength, so even if you can't win, you can escape quickly."

Gradually, after Chief Mu had clearly distinguished all the pros and cons, he slowly stopped.

Xu Bai's eyes lit up slightly. "Great idea!"

To be honest, this idea really resonated with him.

He wanted to go to the Ghost Market right now. After all, when he communicated with the Ruins before, he knew that there were quite a few ghosts in the Ghost Market. As long as he captured the ghosts and made them leave their traces, he could speed up the progress bar.

He had considered entering the Ghost Market with everyone before, but then he thought that this method might not work.

When everyone is killing, he will be killing too. He won't be able to accumulate much progress, since once the weirdo dies, he won't be able to force the other party to leave any trace.

If that's the case, he'll suffer a lot, but now he can get priority access to the Ghost Market. As long as he keeps a low profile, he won't be discovered.

No matter how you calculate it, he's making a profit.

As for danger, it's nothing compared to the Ruins.

As long as I'm careful, I might not get caught.

Faced with such enormous profits, Xu Bai chose the progress bar.

After all, he needs to speed things up now, otherwise if he really encounters Supreme Saint, he won't even have the power to fight back.

Xu Bai agreed, and no one else said anything.

Afterwards, under the leadership of Chief Mu, they supplemented the subsequent plan, and Xu Bai left the Great Chu Kingdom's palace and headed towards the barbarian fiefdom.

He planned to enter the Ghost Market immediately through the circular pattern, and the Barbarian Territory also had a circular pattern.

The earlier you accumulate progress, the better; if you wait too long, you'll lose a lot.

While Xu Bai was making preparations, in the Ghost Market, a man dressed in noble clothes was floating in the sky above the Ghost Market.

Wherever he drifts, all the strange things turn to ashes.

The man exuded an aura of authority without anger, and a noble air emanated from him.

Although his face was blank and his eyes were empty, the aura he subconsciously exuded made all the eerie creatures tremble and involuntarily want to kneel on the ground.

Meanwhile, in a place extremely far from the man, three Saint-level ghosts, led by the White-Clothed Man ghost, followed behind him.

More Saints have died, all because of the Chu Emperor. Their power is getting weaker and weaker. The White-Clothed Man's face was gloomy.

Beside him, a sage-like figure spoke up, "After our constant enticements, he has already headed towards that place. He should arrive in about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

After saying that, he shut his mouth and stopped talking.

The White-Clothed Man revealed a cold smile on his sinister face, "After all the sacrifices, we've finally lured him to that place. Now comes his moment of destruction. The Chu Emperor? Exiting Sainthood? Nothing but a joke!"
