Shrek City

If the Xu Family learned that their imperial mausoleum had been robbed, they would probably do something that outraged the whole world.

After all, their family had already fallen into decline, and you were still robbing their ancestral graves. Wasn't that just bullying honest people?

The more Leng Yaozhu thought about it, the more amusing she found it. But then her thoughts drifted to Gu You's Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon martial soul, and her expression turned awkward again.

If Gu You truly carried the Xu Family bloodline, then—then, wasn't this his own ancestral grave being robbed?

"Teacher, what's wrong? They said it was unearthed from an imperial mausoleum, but I feel there's something shady behind it. This doesn't seem like something proper people would do."

Seeing that Leng Yaozhu had fallen silent after saying just one sentence, Gu You scratched his hair and said.

He had no idea what Leng Yaozhu was thinking. If he did, his head would hurt.

His ancestral grave had been robbed—let's not joke about something like that, okay!

"It's nothing. Do you want to learn the secret on the map?"

Leng Yaozhu snapped back to herself. In truth, she did not want Gu You to come into contact with matters concerning the Sun-Moon Xu Family.

But now that a mysterious map had practically been shoved right in front of them, saying he would not come into contact with it was impossible.

She would ask Gu You and see what attitude he held toward this map.

It would be best if he could avoid it. The theft of the Sun-Moon Imperial Mausoleum involved far too much and might bring unforeseen danger.

"Of course I want to know. If some ancient inheritance is hidden on it, then not understanding it would be too much of a waste. Teacher, do you know any experts in ancient studies? Help me decipher the map."

No matter the reason, Gu You had to understand it.

The illusion in his mind had been far too real. Immersed in it, was the one struck by that nine-colored light blade him, or someone else...

"Got it. Experts in ancient studies are easy enough to find. We'll discuss everything once you arrive at the Spirit Transmission Pagoda headquarters."

Leng Yaozhu nodded and began speaking about the real matter.

"I plan to have you join the Spirit Transmission Hall."

"The Spirit Transmission Hall?"

Gu You was puzzled. Yet another strange organization name had appeared.

"The Spirit Transmission Hall is a special organization within the Spirit Transmission Pagoda. If you ask what this organization does, to put it simply, it saves the world. Douluo Continent is huge, and not everywhere is peaceful. Once you join the Spirit Transmission Hall, after you turn nine and have a certain level of cultivation, you'll be sent to various places across the continent to carry out security missions."

Leng Yaozhu explained, though she still felt somewhat uneasy. What if Gu You did not agree with her thinking?

"Save the world..." Gu You muttered to himself. Why did it suddenly feel as if he had been saddled with the responsibility of a savior?

But the greater the responsibility, the greater the ability.

"Teacher, if I complete security missions, are there rewards?"

Gu You felt that saving the world was something he could do in passing, but during the process of saving it, surely there had to be some return, right?

He would never do business at a loss. Still, the Spirit Transmission Pagoda had plenty of resources and no shortage of money, so they ought to know how to handle things and would not chill the hearts of colleagues who joined the Spirit Transmission Hall.

Hearing that Gu You had not refused and had instead immediately asked about rewards, Leng Yaozhu did not know what to say. This disciple of hers really was not afraid of trouble. Could he not hear the danger in her words?

Saving the world—she herself would not dare say that.

"The rewards include support from the Spirit Transmission Pagoda. Once you complete missions, you'll receive Spirit Transmission points. With enough points, you can even exchange them for a hundred-thousand-year spirit soul."

Leng Yaozhu said. Her words were not false. A hundred-thousand-year spirit soul really could be exchanged for. In the Spirit Soul Pagoda of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda, the first nine floors contained existences at the hundred-thousand-year level.

And what Spirit Transmission points could be exchanged for were existences from the latter six floors.

They could be exchanged for hundred-thousand-year spirit souls?!

Leng Yaozhu's words struck Gu You's heart like a heavy blow.

Although he knew the difficulty of exchanging for one would be immense, and that she might simply be dangling a prize before him, in the current era, a hundred-thousand-year spirit soul truly was a rare treasure.

Among all the Spirit Transmission Pagodas on Douluo Continent, aside from the Spirit Soul Pagoda in the headquarters' Heavenly Spirit Pagoda, hundred-thousand-year spirit souls were probably impossible to obtain.

What, you meant wild hundred-thousand-year spirit rings?

What a joke. Aside from the Far North and the ocean, anything that could be killed had long since been killed. The fierce beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest were even being supported by the Spirit Transmission Pagoda, so killing them was impossible.

As for the other two continents, there was also a chance hundred-thousand-year soul beasts might appear there.

So, when Leng Yaozhu said that by carrying out the Spirit Transmission Hall's security missions, one could earn enough Spirit Transmission points to exchange for a hundred-thousand-year spirit soul, who would not be tempted?

At the same time, if one could exchange for a hundred-thousand-year spirit soul, that meant one could also exchange for a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. This indeed held appeal for Gu You.

"Teacher, I'll join the Spirit Transmission Hall. Saving the world and all that—I'm the most suitable person for it."

Gu You patted his chest. He definitely was not going for the rewards. He still had to give his teacher face.

"Good. As expected of my disciple."

Leng Yaozhu clapped her hands, satisfied with Gu You's answer.

The nearly seventy million had not been spent in vain. In fact, it was still too little.

She actually admired Gu You quite a bit.

In the Spirit Transmission Pagoda, with her around, living a lifetime free of worries about food and clothing would be far too easy. He could casually break through to the Titled realm, and with his dragon and phoenix martial souls, he could leave his name in history as well.

Yet when faced with such a stable life, he chose to join the Spirit Transmission Hall. He truly deserved to be called a heavenly genius!

"I'll report this for you. There won't be any missions before you turn nine, and after that, we'll only arrange simple Silver-Rank Missions for you. Your growth will still come first."

After saying that, Leng Yaozhu did not forget to tease Gu You.

"Come to Shrek City today. By the way, do you really not need to go to school? When I was your age, I was still a clueless child. I wasn't nearly as clever as you."

"Once you arrive at headquarters, I'll arrange for teachers to tutor you within a year so you can complete the Federation's elementary and intermediate academy textbooks. Don't forget to choose your second profession. Everything is to pave the way toward the peak of your soul master path. Your teacher looks forward to watching you grow."

In the light screen, Leng Yaozhu stood up and waved, indicating goodbye.

With that, the communication ended.

"I can finally go to Shrek City. I'd like to see just how prosperous this independent city really is."

Putting away the Soul Guidance Communicator, Gu You packed up the things in his room and prepared to leave.

But by noon, Gu You found it strange. He could not reach Bai Haoze through the communicator, so he decided to make a trip to Room Tianzi No. 2 in case something had happened.

After taking everything he needed, Gu You pushed the door open and went out.

A short while later, he arrived at the door of Room Tianzi No. 2 and pressed the doorbell.

The door opened, but the one who greeted him was not Bai Haoze. It was his sister, Bai Zhicen.

In truth, the siblings looked exactly the same. The only reason he could tell was purely because of the difference in their builds.

"Where's your brother? Teacher said we can go to Shrek City today."

Gu You asked.

"My brother entered deep meditation. I'll go with you, then come back."

Bai Zhicen explained with a helpless look.

"A blessing in disguise. Congratulations to your brother. Then I'll leave this afternoon's journey to you."

When Gu You heard it was deep meditation, he knew that was no small matter. It could not be disturbed.

This kind of meditation, triggered by opportunity and the heart's experiences, was a chance at transformation that a soul master might only encounter once in their entire life.

Even he was envious. After entering deep meditation, the longer it lasted, the greater the boost after awakening.

There was even a chance for the spiritual sea to expand several times over.

After leaving Tiandou Hotel with Bai Zhicen, Gu You looked into the distance.

"Shrek City, here I come!"
