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

Chapter 1543: Chapter 1543: Forming an Alliance (7/7) Chapter 1543: Chapter 1543: Forming an Alliance (7/7) “You Mortals from The Mortal Realm don’t know about your own divine items?” Qi Wu raised an eyebrow as he looked towards Blackie and the others.

Ye Qiubai and the others had guessed as much, but ultimately, they still did not know what exactly the function of this scroll rod was.

Qi Wu seemed to notice their confusion, so he explained, “The Classic of Mountains and Seas scroll rod contains a total of 75 types of mutated beasts, meaning there are 75 pages scattered about. The rod is the device that connects these pages. Without it, you cannot use the Classic of Mountains and Seas to summon the beasts within.”

“At the same time, the scroll rods are divided into heavenly and earthly rods. The one here is the heavenly rod, as for the earthly rod… Although it resides on the Demon Beast Continent, we, the Four Great Beast Clans, have been searching without any clue.”

Blackie turned to Qi Wu and asked, “You’re telling us everything, are you not planning to fight for the scroll rod anymore? After all, the condition was only to inform us about this item if you lost.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Wu closed his eyes slightly, shaking his head in a somewhat pretentious manner, “No, even if I wanted to snatch it, I probably couldn’t outcompete you.”

Blackie was puzzled.

They hadn’t shown their full strength, had they?

So why say they couldn’t outcompete him?

Qi Wu glanced at Gu Sheng and spoke indifferently, “Gu Sheng has already broken through to the Divine Realm, on a level equal to mine. Although I don’t believe he is my match, I also cannot defeat him quickly.”

Then, he turned his gaze towards Little Stone, “Besides, that little kid of yours should have recovered by now, right? If Gu Sheng holds me back while you reuse the technique you deployed against Zhan Qing, I wouldn’t be able to escape easily. This battle is undoubtedly a lost cause for me.”

What?

Blackie looked at Little Stone with a face full of question marks.

What have I missed?

Is our junior brother really that formidable?

Seeing Blackie’s gaze, Little Stone proudly touched his nose with his thumb.

“Moreover, instead of entering a low-chance struggle with you as adversaries, it’s better to owe you a favor and make friends. To be honest, I quite fancy you, kid.”

As he said this, Qi Wu could not help but give Blackie a strong pat on the back.

Ye Qiubai and the others exchanged glances.

Such magnanimity, to so casually let go of such a valuable divine item, and to speak without evasion.

This is someone worth befriending.

“However, let me put this out front. After you obtain this item, the rest of Cangxuan Academy will certainly devise plans to attack you within the Ascending God Ruins, with the intention to kill and seize the scroll rod and pages from you.”

“Also, even if you make it out, the Immortal Realm will likely send someone to intercept you. After all, this item is of great importance to them.”

Blackie nodded, “Thanks for the heads-up.”

“Don’t rush to thank me yet,” Qi Wu poured a bucket of cold water straight on, and said coldly, “This item is also very important to our Demon Beast Continent, and if you want to use the Classic of Mountains and Seas, you must come to the Demon Beast Continent and compete with the Four Great Clans for the earthly rod, including our Kirin Clan.”

“Of course, I will not lay a hand on you.”

“Why not?” Blackie was startled.

“It’s simple, because right now I am contending with my older brother for power. We both wish to sit in the position of Kirin Clan Leader, but my brother’s forces are more robust than mine, and now his power is greater. After all, he bears the title of Holy Son of the Qilin.”

Ye Qiubai, who was listening, couldn’t help but laugh.

“It seems Brother Qi Wu plans to bind us together.”

“Hey, exactly, your mind works quite well,” Qi Wu admitted openly without any intention of concealing his thoughts, “I admire your talents, and the fact that such figures as yourself emerged from the newly rebuilt Mortal Realm means it cannot be simple. I want you to be the force that helps me succeed as the Clan Leader.”

“Anyway, you must go to the Demon Beast Continent to get the earthly rod in order to use the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which will certainly lead to conflict with the people led by my brother. Although I can’t help you openly, I can at least provide some convenience for you on the Demon Beast Continent.”

That’s right.

A natural binding of interests, a natural common enemy.

Is there a better or more reassuring way to form an alliance?

However, if it weren’t for Qi Wu taking a fancy to the talents of Ye Qiubai and the others, he probably wouldn’t have made this suggestion.

After all, talent and strength are the premises on which all cooperation is founded.

“Oh right, I’ll hang on to this torn page representing the Fire Bird Bi Fang for now. If you manage to get the painting pole, I’ll give you this page. If not, I’ll just use it to report back. I can’t return empty-handed as the Second Young Master of the Kirin Clan, can I? That would be too embarrassing.”

It was evident that Qi Wu was ambitious.

Compared to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, he was more eager to ascend to the position of Clan Leader of the Kirin Clan.

Blackie first turned to look at Ye Qiubai, and only after seeing Ye Qiubai nod did Blackie nod and extend a hand, saying, “Then shall we have a pleasant cooperation?”

This scene was also noticed by Qi Wu.

It seemed that those who hadn’t made a move yet were not simple either…

Immediately after, Qi Wu didn’t extend his hand for a handshake, but rather raised his fist, baring his teeth and smiling, “Handshakes don’t suit us body cultivators.”

Blackie was slightly startled, then shook his head with a chuckle and bumped fists with Qi Wu.

With that, the cooperation was established.

Ye Qiubai also collected the torn page of the four fiends, Qiong Qi, along with the painting pole.

Once the painting pole was removed.

The huge Ice Crystal Box began to tremble!

The ground around it also started shaking violently!

The four stone pillars actually detached from the surface and floated in mid-air.

Then, the Ice Crystal Box sunk into the ground, and a stone platform with a teleportation array carved onto it slowly rose.

As the four stone pillars began to rotate around the stone platform in mid-air, the runes of the teleportation array on the platform started to emit bright light.

Space above the stone platform began to distort, and the teleportation array activated.

This must be the passage to the Immortal Realm section.

Qi Wu looked towards Blackie and others, baring his teeth with a smile, “Shall we try working together first? Let’s practice coordination as a drill. When we go to the Demon Beast Continent later, we’ll have a real operation.”

Blackie looked at Qi Wu in surprise, “You should also know we will be surrounded by the people of the Immortal Realm.”

Qi Wu crossed his arms and snorted, “Not to mention that we have already formed an alliance, but as for those arrogant idiots from the Immortal Realm who look down on everyone, I find each one of them to be insufferable.”

What’s with starting a tirade like that?

But as it was none of his concern, Blackie also nodded in agreement.

The group stepped into the teleportation array.

Afterward, people from other academies also entered the teleportation array one after another.

However, after everyone had left.

There was a man dressed in a Qing robe, who seemed to be a student of Cangxuan Academy.

He looked around to make sure everyone had gone, then took out a jade pendant and spoke into it, “The painting pole has fallen into the hands of those from the Mortal Realm, Zhan Qing has been killed by them, and Qi Wu of the Demon Beast Continent has allied with them.”

A long pause came from within the jade pendant before four calm yet murderous words responded.

“I know.”

PS: Yesterday was supposed to be two chapters plus a makeup of five chapters, making seven.

I still owe five chapters, plus today’s two chapters. That’s seven chapters for today; I’ll keep writing!
