I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1306: Chapter 1306: Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty, Escort Mission (1/4) Chapter 1306: Chapter 1306: Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty, Escort Mission (1/4) “How about this quest?” Fengye picked up a scroll and said, “Go to the Wind and Thunder Mountain and retrieve the inner core of a Xuanlei Beast.”

The Xuanlei Beast was the overlord of the Wind and Thunder Mountain, and its strength had reached the half-step Ancestral Realm.

However, with the enhancement of the wind and thunder magnetic field on the mountain, it was considerably stronger than human cultivators of the half-step Ancestral Realm.

Fengye admitted that he was not confident he could successfully obtain the inner core of the Xuanlei Beast by himself.

But the offered contribution points were plentiful, a full seven thousand, along with other generous rewards of cultivation resources.

Yet, as Fengye was choosing, Mu Fusheng suddenly picked up one of the scrolls, which was marked with ‘escort’.

Fengye came over and said, “Oh? Has this quest not been taken yet?”

Mu Fusheng unrolled it and looked over the content.

To put it simply, the task was to escort a Ninth Crown Prince of the Divine Dynasty, who, although the youngest among all the princes, was designated by the Heavenly Emperor of the Divine Dynasty as the Crown Prince, the heir to the Divine Dynasty.

Therefore, naturally, the other princes saw the Ninth Crown Prince as a thorn in their side.

The task required escorting the Ninth Crown Prince to within the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty.

The rewards were even more generous than others, with ten thousand contribution points, and one could also obtain a token from the Ninth Crown Prince and a Nine Dragons He Shi Bi.

The Nine Dragons He Shi Bi, when worn, continuously tempers the soul with the nine dragon spirits contained within it, allowing the wearer to refine dragon qi in the soul. When the soul is attacked, the nine dragons will protect the master.

This was an Ancestral Artifact, and among such artifacts, it was ranked highly, considered one of the treasures of the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty.

Moreover, such treasures specifically beneficial to the soul were exceedingly rare.

The value of an Ancestral Artifact for the soul, to those cultivating the soul, was comparable to treasures of the Divine Emperor Rank!

“Why do you say this quest hasn’t been taken yet?” Blackie asked.

Fengye explained, “Don’t you know about the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty? Within the Tianji Continent, there are only two places known as Divine Dynasties, the Heavenly Divine Dynasty and this Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty, both of which are first-rate factions. Yet, the relationships among the princes of the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty are overly complex, and few wish to get involved.”

To put it simply, if one were to take on this quest, escorting the Crown Prince back to the Divine Dynasty, then one would inevitably make enemies with the other princes.

One quest, provoking so many people, hardly seemed worth it.

Moreover, soul cultivators were already scarce in the Mixed Spirit Academy, and having the Nine Dragons He Shi Bi was like a hot potato.

Better to take on other quests.

“That’s why this quest has been shelved for so long.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Fusheng was initially interested in the quest; it was certain to involve combat during the escort, and he could take advantage of conflicts to trick Cheng Dahai without anyone complaining.

But upon realizing it was too entangled, Mu Fusheng immediately wanted to put the scroll down.

But Blackie thought otherwise and straightforwardly said, “Then let’s take on this quest.”

Great!

I knew it!

Mu Fusheng looked skyward with a resigned expression.

It was always either the senior brother or Brother Blackie who loved to stir up trouble.

Blackie sent a telepathic message, “This reward fits you right, Junior Brother Mu, and this type of quest is also easy to set up Cheng Dahai, isn’t it?”

Meanwhile, Shi Sheng looked at Mu Fusheng and exclaimed, “Junior Brother Mu, why are you crying? Are you touched?”

Mu Fusheng nodded, “Indeed, I’m touched, but it’d be even better if we could change the quest.”

Struggles for the throne in a dynasty were always complex and fraught with high risks.

Although such matters were rare in the Boundless Dynasty, where Mu Fusheng lived, he probably understood more than others.

Every step could invite a calamity that kills!

Fengye also smiled, heavily patting Blackie’s shoulder, saying, “Good! Only a task with challenges is fun!”

By his side, Cheng Dahai chuckled, “You’ve just joined the Mixed Spirit Academy and haven’t even found your footing yet but dare to accept such a complicated task? But I don’t mind; I just need you not to complete the task, which won’t affect me much.”

Upon hearing this, Fengye suddenly turned around, stepping toward Cheng Dahai, as the aura of someone in the Ancestral Realm leaked out!

The angry expression on that heroic face shouted, “Then just try it, luckily, I haven’t found someone to spar with these past few days, and it’s been really annoying.”

Cheng Dahai slightly stepped back, waving his hands with a smile, “I certainly won’t fight with you.”

Fengye crossed his arms, turning away with a cold snort, “Disciples of the Second Elder either play with cunning schemes or are simply cowards. A disciple’s temperament is often guided by their master. With that attitude, aspiring for the position of vice president? You’d better give up that thought soon.”

Mu Fusheng really wanted to retort at this point.

Except for himself, didn’t it seem like everyone else from The Cottage didn’t follow the master?

And hearing such insulting words, Cheng Dahai did not react excessively.

Fengye’s master is the Fourth Elder, who openly stands with the First Elder. Plus, who in the Mixed Spirit Academy doesn’t know Fengye’s temperament?

Seeing that Cheng Dahai still had a smile, Fengye coldly snorted again, “Boring.” He then picked up the task scroll and walked over to an elder at the tower.

Just as the elder was about to register, Cheng Dahai stepped forward, saying, “Elder, I also want this task.”

The registering elder didn’t even lift his head, just added Cheng Dahai’s name as well, “Whoever completes it gets the reward.”

To the elder, such situations were not unusual; many students who had grievances liked to do this.

Fengye huffed heavily, “Let’s go!”

He then led Blackie and the others toward the starting point indicated by the task.

Watching their retreating figures, Yu Cheng asked Cheng Dahai next to him, “Cheng Dahai Brother, must you really go to such lengths?”

“Hmm.” Cheng Dahai nodded, “This isn’t just a fight among us juniors, but also a competition between the First Elder and my master.”

“Right.” Cheng Dahai turned to Yu Cheng, saying, “If you contribute this time with me, I will ask my master to take you as a disciple.”

Yu Cheng’s face brightened, and he quickly clasped his hands, saying, “Then I’d be very grateful to Cheng Brother!”

Cheng Dahai laughed, and walked toward the academy’s exit with Yu Cheng.

…

Atop a peak, within a luxurious courtyard.

“Reporting to the master, Junior Brother Cheng has accepted the same task as those special enrollments and has set out,” He Xiangwang said, kneeling on one knee.

The Second Elder nodded, stating, “Your Junior Brother Cheng always maintains a sense of proportion, so there’s likely nothing excessive you need to worry about from him.”

“You’re about to break through to the next level in the Refining Sky Tower, right?”

He Xiangwang was startled, then nodded.

The Second Elder threw out a medicinal pill, saying, “Go then, you should also try to break through your realm; the ninetieth level of the Refining Sky Tower will help stimulate your constitution.”

“When those special enrollments come back… If needed, you will need to take action.”

He Xiangwang nodded earnestly, “I understand.”
