Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1156 - 914: I Know the Rules! (2)

Staring intently, his pupils suddenly contracted—Divine Artifact?!

The exquisitely crafted golden collar exuded a powerful aura that only a Divine Artifact could, causing Huo Jun’s heartbeat to accelerate. He thought to himself, was it really this simple to acknowledge a master and receive a Divine Artifact as well?

Fortunately, I’ve always been adept at adapting to circumstances; thus, I didn’t miss this golden opportunity!

Bai Yunqi, oh Bai Yunqi, no wonder when you manifested your avatar, even Yingdi Mountain was engulfed in clouds and everything revived. It turns out you have such potent fortune! Not only encountered the Celestial Emperor’s avatar and was acknowledged; but also allowed me to cling to this golden advantage!

It shows that cultivating the art of avatars is truly useful.

He hurriedly expressed his gratitude for the master’s favor, respectfully bowing before him to accept the reward, still contemplating that he should manifest several more avatars in the future.

After all, they require neither nurturing nor teaching; if they succeed, it’s beneficial to the main body; if they’re worthless and die, it merely wastes a bit of spirit and can slowly be cultivated back, not heart-wrenching.

"Thanks to the gentleman’s grace, this opportune moment is given to you, also to conclude your debt of gratitude towards me." Bai Yunqi observed him also donning the same collar as Yan Xuan and Shi Hu, and declared loudly, "Henceforth, we’ll call each other brothers, no longer having the relationship of main body and avatar."

"Naturally." Huo Jun received the Divine Artifact and Cyan Dragon Divine Power, accepted it gracefully, and saluted him, "Thank you, Daoist Bai, for your vigorous assistance!"

Bai Yunqi returned the salute, finally resolving the last matter of his heart; henceforth, besides striving to ascend in realms to serve the gentleman, he had no other desires.

Jiang Yuan mused, "You’ve obtained the Cyan Dragon Divine Power, you should return home and close up to refine it. However, Miss He also resides at home, about this past relationship between you two..."

Faced with emotional issues, Huo Jun frowned and vented bitterly, "He Miancun is indeed wonderful; she possesses all the beauty that a woman under the heavens should have and remains unwavering in loyalty towards relationships.

But the issue is: she didn’t reincarnate, instead became a Ghost Cultivator; although I recall past life grievances, I’m ultimately a reincarnated person, inevitably causing discrepancies when attempting to rekindle the past ties.

Moreover, demons and ghosts have different paths.

We cannot undergo Dual Cultivation, which is fine, but she dislikes Spiritual Energy, and I dislike Yin Energy; she accommodates me for a while, I accommodate her for a while, but ultimately it’s never a long-term solution..."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan thought indeed, romance across species boundaries should generally be avoided, as reconciling differences is too challenging.

Bai Yunqi impatiently asked, "Stop finding so many excuses, do you actually still like her or not?"

"Liking doesn’t fill your stomach!" Huo Jun got worked up, "Just earlier you mentioned, He Miancun’s savings were already depleted. Before that, my years of savings were long squandered; cultivators cannot stop cultivating, earning less than spending, no matter how much love there is, in the end, reality stands between us. If it weren’t for financial strain, how could I not even procure a Healing Pill all these years?"

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, "That’s not a problem, she now has a dedicated courtyard that doesn’t interfere with cultivation. Let’s do this, we’ll head back, and you clear up the previous misunderstandings; for emotional matters, you two discuss them together."

As a lifelong single dog, he honestly couldn’t offer any constructive advice.

Bai Yunqi, focused on transforming into a dragon, hadn’t experienced romantic entanglements either and shook his head repeatedly, expressing his inability to assist.

Transmitting them back to the small courtyard, it was coincidentally dusk.

The sky was noticeably shorter in late autumn, darkness settled before the wilderness descended, the courtyard lights automatically flickered on with gentle brilliance.

Aboard the Menghua Treasure Ship, the lights were dazzlingly brilliant, making its opulent appearance even more excessive, leisurely floating across the sky, casting colorful shadows below.

"Master, you’re back!" Ling Di poked his head out from the ship to greet them, noticing the addition of a handsome Demon Cultivator.

A figure towering like jade, with a sleek physique, yet a collar identical to Yan Xuan and Shi Hu’s wrapped around his neck, alerting it to the abnormal situation! Those two, one destined to be the future Black Tortoise, the other the future White Tiger, could this one be... the future Azure Dragon?!

Staring again, Old Dog discovered another new situation: this one’s actually a Snake Demon, and the appearance somewhat resembled that past lover Miss He mentioned during gossip?

A flash of insight struck in its mind, instantly realizing——that Elder Dragon stubbornly refused Ascension to Azure Dragon, thus the master stripped away its Divine Power. Probably due to unknown reasons, Bai Yunqi didn’t accept the Cyan Dragon Divine Power, opting to grant this heavenly opportunity to another Snake Demon, while Miss He’s past lover was indeed a White Snake Demon!

Jiang Yuan glanced at it, smiled warmly, and said, "Ling Di, go call over Miss He."

"Woof woof! Sure thing!" With comprehension dawning, it knew its guess was correct, immediately dashed off towards the sky-high pavilion.

Huo Jun had just transmitted from a place of scant Spiritual Energy, but now observed an abundance akin to Immortal Energy, eyes unsure where to focus first.

At this moment, upon gazing upward, discovering an abundance of Immortal Mountain Palaces in the sky, further confirming the master to be the Celestial Emperor’s avatar, hence relocating this Celestial Palace and pavilion!

Ling Di ran swiftly, leaving a trail behind as it darted into the mountainous forest where Ghost Cultivators reside, barking at a courtyard encased by Yin Energy, "Miss He, the master requests your presence! The master brought back a Snake Demon, go quickly to see if you recognize it."

He Miancun, plagued by Heart Demons and unable to cultivate, nevertheless preferred staying in environments rich in Yin Energy.

Recently, Leng Yutang and the others returned from East Lake Port, with no longer a need to serve as Protectors, leaving her without other amusement but to stay within the small courtyard, reading books and writing.

Suddenly hearing Mr. Jiang had brought back a Snake Demon, her thoughts raced, pondering whether they had indeed retrieved Huo Jun?

"Are you sure it’s a Snake Demon? What does it look like?" He Miancun gracefully emerged from the courtyard, whispering inquiries.
