Newcomer Joins Group

After the disciples left the Three Pure Ones Hall, they immediately returned to their respective dojos to meditate on the teachings of the Saints, racing against time to prepare for the Xuanmen Daoist Convention in five hundred years.

Li Qingxu returned to Qingxu Hall and sat cross-legged on his cloud bed, deep in thought.

His current foundation and comprehension far surpassed his past self, and with considerable Destiny on his side, his cultivation speed should outpace all third-generation Xuanmen disciples.

However, Guangchengzi and the others had started from a much higher point, having already broken through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. Duobao Daoist was even a powerhouse in the mid-stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

If he continued to cultivate at his current pace, even if he could narrow the gap in five hundred years, becoming the foremost among the third-generation Xuanmen disciples would be nearly impossible.

"It seems I still need to rely on the power of my cheat," Li Qingxu murmured. As his consciousness sank into the Myriad Worlds Chat Group interface, the System's prompt sounded in his mind:

[Due to the Myriad Worlds Chat Group reaching the required activity level, the chat group level has been upgraded to Lv2. Myriad Worlds Projection function unlocked. Group member count +2.]

"The chat group leveled up?" Li Qingxu's heart leaped with joy, and he quickly checked the newly unlocked Myriad Worlds Projection function.

[Myriad Worlds Projection: Consume a certain amount of Divine Power to condense your Dharma Form and project it into the worlds where group members reside.]
[The strength of the Dharma Form is determined by the host's Divine Power consumption. Its power will not exceed the world's upper limit.]

Although this function seemed a bit redundant at first glance, only capable of helping group members resolve crises, Li Qingxu saw its immense potential.

He now deeply understood the importance of Destiny.

The Great Ming World, which provided him with Destiny, was merely a low-level small world, not even qualifying as a minor world.

The worlds where Ye Hei and Xiao Yan resided were far higher in level than the Great Ming World, and the number of living beings within them was significantly greater.

If he could manifest his Dharma Form in the worlds of Ye Hei and Xiao Yan, leaving an impression of supreme divinity in the minds of their inhabitants, he might gain a massive amount of Destiny, allowing his cultivation speed to skyrocket!

Even at just level two, the chat group had added such a crucial function, making Li Qingxu even more eager to see what features would be added with subsequent level upgrades.

However, the immediate priority was to recruit two new group members.

As Li Qingxu issued the invitation command to the System, two new members soon joined the chat group.

[Welcome Hei Da Wu to the chat group!]
[Welcome A Qi to the chat group!]

[Ye Hei: Yo, new folks? Welcome, welcome. Though what the heck is Hei Da Wu? @Hei Da Wu]

[Xiao Yan: Welcome, new members! (◆゜∀゜)b]

[Emperor Yongle: Welcome, young friends.]

[A Qi: Huh? What Myriad Worlds Chat Group? Am I hallucinating?]

In a dilapidated temple amidst the forests of the Black Tortoise Kingdom, a small bonfire flickered with a faint light, offering meager warmth.

Mei Hua Thirteen was asleep, leaning against a corner wall. A Qi, however, forced himself to stand, gripping the Magic Blade Thousand Blades in his hand. He intended to slip out before dawn to lure away the assassins pursuing him, never expecting to be suddenly pulled into the Myriad Worlds Chat Group.

In his dazed state, he wondered if he was suffering from excessive blood loss or if the weapons of the assassins from last night were poisoned, causing him to hallucinate.

[Qingxu Daojun: This is the Myriad Worlds Chat Group. You, like the other group members, are chosen by me from across the myriad worlds.]

[A Qi: So that's how it is. It seems the Group Leader is a legendary immortal, able to gather people from different worlds.]

[Ye Hei: More than just an immortal! Senior Qingxu's power is beyond your imagination.]

[A Qi: @Qingxu Daojun, Great Group Leader, could you please take Mei Hua Thirteen away? I don't want her to be dragged down by me.]

[Xiao Yan: Dragged down? Sounds like your situation isn't great, brother.]

[A Qi: Not just not great, it's absolutely terrible.]

[A Qi: I traveled thousands of miles to the Black Tortoise Kingdom, arranged to meet Qing Feng at the Divine Eagle Statue, only to be set up by Qing Feng.]

[A Qi: Then I encountered a crazy bald monk who called me a disaster and tried to hit me with his prayer beads without a word.]

[A Qi: That Qing Feng, with his seemingly honest eyes, played me for a fool. And the monk, a man of religion, had such a murderous intent. The world is truly going downhill, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be...]

Li Qingxu scanned the chat messages and immediately deduced A Qi's identity and predicament.

As for the other newcomer, Hei Da Wu, he had yet to speak. Although Li Qingxu had his suspicions, he couldn't confirm them for now.

[Xiao Yan: You're quite optimistic, brother, to still be in good spirits given your situation.]

[A Qi: What can I do? All I have left now is optimism.]

[A Qi: After all this talk, can the great ones help or not?]

[Qingxu Daojun: @A Qi, I have uploaded a Dao Self True Form Visualization Diagram to the group files. You may study it first.]

[A Qi: Visualization diagram?? Let me take a look.]

As Wu Liuqi opened the group file and saw the visualization diagram, his pupils contracted instantly, and his mind was struck with an unprecedented impact.

From this "Dao Self True Form Diagram," he felt an unparalleled, immense power far beyond anything in the world, along with a world-shattering sword intent capable of cleaving through all things.

He immediately entered a state of self-forgetfulness, involuntarily sitting down on the spot and beginning to comprehend the power within.

Seeing that the talkative A Qi had suddenly fallen silent, Xiao Yan and the others guessed he was meditating on the "Dao Self True Form Diagram." They then shifted their attention to the other new group member, Hei Da Wu.

[Ye Hei: @Hei Da Wu, brother, why aren't you saying anything?]

[Hei Da Wu: Cough cough, hello everyone, my name is Song Que, from the Blood Stream Sect.]

The Eternal World, deep within the Meteorite Sword Abyss.

Bai Xiaochun was hiding in a cave beneath the lakebed, preparing to draw upon the earth's vital energy to complete his Foundation Establishment. Suddenly, he was pulled into the Myriad Worlds Chat Group.

Because the incident was strange, and he had also been chased by that eerie little girl in white not long ago, he dared not reveal his identity.

[Xiao Yan: Song Que? Then why is your group nickname Hei Da Wu?]

[Hei Da Wu: This... it's because I'm quite lewd and my methods are ruthless, so I chose this nickname.]

[Ye Hei: So, you're quite self-aware?]

[Hei Da Wu: You flatter me. (･ω･)ゞ]

Li Qingxu watched Hei Da Wu's chat messages and couldn't help but chuckle.

He had already made a rough guess about Hei Da Wu's identity before. After seeing the other party reveal Song Que and the Blood Stream Sect, he was even more certain of their identity: Bai Xiaochun from the Eternal World.

"This Bai Xiaochun is really cautious. He doesn't even dare to use his real name outside, instead using the name of his sworn enemy."

Li Qingxu smiled and directly exposed the other party's identity.

[Qingxu Daojun: @Hei Da Wu, Bai Xiaochun, stop pretending. This Seat knows your identity.]

[Hei Da Wu: Huh? Caught red-handed? (°ー°〃)]

[Hei Da Wu: Hehe, hello everyone, please allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Bai Xiaochun, a disciple of the Spirit Stream Sect.]

[Ye Hei: Damn, you're too cunning! You even used a fake name to fool us?]

[Hei Da Wu: When you're out in the world, you're bound to get hurt. It's never wrong to be cautious. Please don't take offense, everyone...]
