A Heap of Progress Bars Arrives
After Liu Yue finished speaking, everyone present looked at each other, not understanding what he meant.
Liu Yue's expression gradually turned cold. "Don't you understand yet? If you want to receive the corresponding treatment, you need to have the corresponding abilities. If you don't even have the abilities, how can I make appropriate assignments for you?"
Besides books, Xu Bai also needed traces, and Liu Yue thought of the best way to leave traces without arousing suspicion.
His scholarly abilities are fully revealed on paper, perfectly preserving these traces without arousing excessive suspicion.
Lei Yun reacted the fastest, quickly turning around, opening his arms, and shouting loudly to the people he had gathered around, "What are you still hesitating for? The master is giving you an opportunity. Are you going to waste this opportunity? This is the master's test for you. Quickly leave your strongest attacks!"
He was the fastest to get on the ship, and now he can't get off. So he immediately understood Liu Yue's meaning and played the role of an accomplice.
Liu Yue smiled.
The guy in front of me is quite savvy; he knows when to say what, and with those words, these people can accept things more easily.
As expected, after Lei Yun finished speaking, everyone stopped hesitating.
They unleashed their strongest attacks on the countless sheets of paper, and in an instant, this Yellow Sand Convolution Land became a kaleidoscope of colors.
All sorts of abilities flooded the sky, filling it with color, looking like a magnificent firework display that dazzled and captivated the eye.
The pages of the book, fluttering in the sky, left their mark.
After all the attacks disappeared, Liu Yue waved his hand, and the countless pages of books gathered in his hand at the fastest speed, becoming half a person's height.
All eyes turned to him, and although no one spoke, they were all waiting for Liu Yue's next move.
Liu Yue waved his hand. "Today, as the nation is established, I will Exiting Sainthood!"
The plans were all real, helping Xu Bai get what he wanted was real, and his Exiting Sainthood was also real; all of this was within the plan.
He had to admit that he admired some of the ingenious ideas of the Chu Emperor. This time, the Emperor not only solved Xu Bai's problem, but also gave him the opportunity to cross the threshold of Exiting Sainthood.
They still lack some strength, especially top-tier strength. In the past, what he wanted most was to take that step, and even cooperate with Chief Mu. Now he finally has the opportunity. On the surface, he looks calm and collected, but in his heart he is extremely excited.
No one doesn't want to reach the top, and he's no exception. Even the greatest scholar in the world can't resist such temptation. Now that the opportunity has come, he has the chance to step into it, so of course he won't let it go.
The accomplices who had defected from Ning Weiyue's side looked at each other, then suddenly knelt down and cried out in unison.
"We respectfully welcome His Liu Yue to establish his kingdom! We swear to follow him to the death!"
Liu Yue raised his head, looked at the endless yellow sand, and said, "Today, the Great Yue Kingdom will be re-established here, and I will be its first ruler."
After he finished speaking, Righteous Qi emanated from his body, dispelling the yellow sand from the entire sky.
The sky returned to its azure blue, and the sunlight shone down, creating a warm and pleasant feeling.
At the same time, Luck Power were extracted from everyone present and were condensing in the sky.
The sky was filled with golden hues, dazzling the eyes and exuding unparalleled majesty and nobility.
Liu Yue waved his hand, and his whole body soared into the sky, standing in mid-air.
Below was a dense crowd, all looking up at Liu Yue with awe in their eyes.
Liu Yue took a deep breath, put his hands behind his back, circulated his Righteous Qi, and drew upon the Luck Power.
Amidst the dazzling golden light, and guided by the Righteous Qi, fortune surged toward Liu Yue at a visible speed, enveloping Liu Yue entire body.
At this moment, Liu Yue resembled an enormous golden egg, obscuring his true form.
Although their faces and figures were not visible, everyone could sense that Liu Yue's aura was rising at a visible speed beneath this giant golden egg.
He was already at the Entering Sainthood Peak, and he was an old monster who had existed for an unknown period of time. At this moment, under the guidance of the Luck Power, his strength was rushing towards that ultimate step.
Everyone present watched intently, whether they were his trusted confidants or the defectors from the trade; no one blinked.
This scene is extremely precious, and it is worthwhile for anyone who has the chance to witness it.
Exiting Sainthood is the pinnacle of existence in the world, and no one present who Exiting Sainthood can remain unmoved.
The momentum continued to rise, carrying a terrifying sense of oppression, and had reached a peak.
"Click!"
Just then, the golden egg made a cracking sound, and a crack that was invisible to the naked eye appeared on it.
That is, only those who are experts in the field can see things clearly.
And once the first crack appeared, a second and a third quickly followed.
The cracks were dense and gradually deepening, soon covering the entire surface of the golden egg.
The cracking sound intensified, and suddenly a hand pushed open the crack, appearing before everyone's eyes.
After the hand appeared, countless characters suddenly appeared in the sky. These characters were extremely chaotic, but placed in the sky, they felt very harmonious. This feeling was very strange.
The cracks began to peel away, like a peeled eggshell falling from the sky, but before it hit the ground, it vanished into nothingness.
Meanwhile, the situation inside the golden giant egg gradually came into view.
Still dressed in white, Liu Yue looked no different from an ordinary person, but one glance was enough to leave a lasting impression.
Bai Zhong had been observing from below. When Liu Yue emerged, he narrowed his eyes slightly and shouted, "Did it work?!"
Everyone present wanted to ask that question, but no one dared to say it; only he dared to speak like that.
Liu Yue sighed and turned his gaze back.
When he sighed, everyone's hearts jumped.
Logically speaking, if something really happened, he should be very happy, but Liu Yue's expression now has nothing to do with happiness.
Could it be that we failed?
This thought instantly arose in everyone's mind.
If that's the case, then it proves that these people aren't enough, and they need to find others to help Liu Yue break through the final step.
Bai Zhong knew Liu Yue best. Seeing Liu Yue's state, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "He's putting on an act again. I really don't understand why you scholars have to act so high and mighty?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly to everyone's ears.
All eyes turned to him, their faces full of confusion.
Bai Zhong said impatiently, "It must have succeeded, otherwise he wouldn't be like this."
Everyone: "..."
In the sky, Liu Yue was speechless.
"I'm telling you, really. I've gone through so much hardship and spent my whole life to finally achieve this goal. Can't you give me a little time to show off?"
All right.
Everyone finally understood.
It turns out it was a success.
Without hesitation, Lei Yun displayed his most basic sycophantic traits. "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Now that Your Majesty has entered the Exiting Sainthood, you will surely lead us through all obstacles and annihilate all enemies in this world!"
He was the first to betray Ning Weiyue, and he was also the most adept at currying favor.
After he finished speaking, everyone present looked at each other, prostrated themselves on the ground, and shouted.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Liu Yue calmly waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand up. Then, he descended from the sky, stood next to Liu Yue, and glanced at everyone present.
"With one more Exiting Sainthood from the world and one less attaining sainthood, the Great Chu Kingdom has probably sensed it. You must keep a low profile and not gather here. Disperse first."
When he Exiting Sainthood, Heaven and Earth responded, and anyone in the profession could sense it.
And since there's one less person to enter the Saintly Realm, and that person can also be sensed, the Great Chu Kingdom should already be prepared.
Everyone nodded and obediently dispersed.
After these people dispersed, Bai Zhong smiled and said, "After so many years, you have finally achieved your wish. You have fulfilled your last wish."
He wasn't jealous at all. In terms of age, Liu Yue was the oldest among them; he had survived for a very, very long time.
Therefore, it is actually reasonable for Liu Yue to Exiting Sainthood now. It is normal for a person to have sufficient foundation.
"What are your plans next?" Bai Zhong asked.
Liu Yue pondered for a moment and said, "His Majesty probably already knows about this matter. Let's send the things to Xu Bai first. As for what to do next, we'll see what His Majesty tells us. The remaining people must die, and similarly, those from the Era of Ten Thousand Kingdoms who haven't yet emerged must also die."
Bai Zhong nodded and said, "Then let's do it this way. Anyway, I'll listen to you on everything here, and I'm too lazy to think about anything."
Liu Yue didn't continue the conversation. He began making arrangements to send all the books to the Ghost Market.
The Ghost Market.
Xu Bai lay on a huge rock, listlessly watching the dark red light in the sky.
"You tell me... if I really went to those worlds, what perfect way is there to come back?"
With nothing to do, he spent all his time thinking about these things.
To be honest, he hasn't given up on this path. If he hasn't Exiting Sainthood level after grinding through everything here, he might give it a try. As for how likely that is, it depends on the situation at that time.
A Wu said helplessly, "Don't even think about it. Besides, you have to enter countless worlds. We didn't even figure out the method back then. How are you going to get in? It's simply impossible."
"Methods are all invented by people, right? You should have some ideas that can be applied. Why don't you tell me?" Xu Bai asked with a smile.
A Wu chose to keep quiet and didn't say anything.
Xu Bai pursed his lips speechlessly, not taking it seriously.
The two fell silent again. Lately, they had run out of things to talk about, and awkward silences like this would often fall between them.
Of course, Xu Bai had long been used to this silence, and he didn't take it seriously.
Just then, the sky suddenly changed; the dark red sky was trembling slightly. Xu Bai immediately stood up, looked up at the sky, and smiled.
"After waiting for so long, it's finally here."
A Wu also stood up. "Looks like... your time to make a fortune has come."
Xu Bai didn't say anything more, but just smiled. Then he flew into the air, placed his hand on the top of the sky, and as his True Yuan Power surged, cracks appeared in the sky.
The crack was expanding at a visible speed. When it expanded to a certain level, a huge black hole appeared. Only then did Xu Bai withdraw his hand and jump directly into it from below.
Once inside, it was still pitch black and seemed endless, but Xu Bai could see more than a dozen figures dressed in prison uniforms in the darkness.
He approached, and all the people in front of him looked blank, but when they saw him, they immediately began to tremble.
Xu Bai smiled and expanded his divine soul power to control the people in front of him, then came to the person at the very front.
The person at the front was holding a book that was half a person's height, standing there blankly. When Xu Bai approached, he mechanically handed the book to Xu Bai.
Xu Bai took it and casually flipped to one of the pages. A golden progress bar appeared before his eyes.
He turned to the second page, and there was another new progress bar.
"Not bad, not bad. Each piece of paper represents a progress bar. This time it's really a success. With these, I wonder if I can reach the Entering Sainthood Ninth Grade."
The difficulty with the progress bar was finally resolved at this moment, and Xu Bai was overjoyed. Even when looking at these prisoners, he thought they were quite cute.
Of course, he ignored these guys and, after waiting for a while, watched the group of prisoners disappear before jumping out of the black hole and returning to the dark red sky.
A Wu was waiting at this moment. When he saw Xu Bai return, especially when he saw the books Xu Bai was holding, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"If I reach the Entering Sainthood Ninth Grade, will I be able to leave the Ghost Market?" Xu Bai asked.
A Wu was initially quite happy, but upon hearing this, the smile on his lips vanished, and he shook his head. "Who knows what the Supreme Saint's plans are? You will never be safe until you reach the Exiting Sainthood. Of course, by 'safe,' I mean safe until the Supreme Saint appears. If he does appear, even Exiting Sainthood realm might not be safe."
She was very direct, and it might have been a bit harsh, but that's really how it is.
Xu Bai was not discouraged. He opened the books and laid each page out on the ground, which took him a long time.
A golden progress bar appeared before my eyes, so many of them it was overwhelming.
