Chapter 612: Deng Wu's Assignment

The process of joining a guardian sect could be either incredibly hard or very easy. If an inner sect member recommended someone, then it would be very easy to get into a guardian sect. This was one of the benefits of being an inner sect member.

If one had no connections to the inner sect, but still wished to enter the guardian sects then one would need above average talent. The guardian sects prided themselves on their strength, and once a year they would hold a tournament to determine which of them were the strongest.

The stronger the expert, the more likely they would be accepted into a sect that was highly ranked. This was the best way to scout talent as usually the higher ranked the sect was, the more rules they had for the joining experts.

Because of the various rules, the group of eleven experts was split up amongst the guardian sects, but the majority had ended up in lower ranked sects. Only Huli and Cai Jie were allowed into the two highest ranked sects, with Huli entering the strongest sect of all.

"This map will show you to your sects," the woman who had filled in their forms said as she handed them a copy of the form they had just finished. On this form, it said who had recommended them, their personal information, and their rank.

"The sects will provide you with food and housing, the only thing you will need to pay for is extra cultivation resources. They can be bought with contribution points or Worldpower Stones; it is the same system the inner sect uses to give resources to their disciples."

Hui Yue nodded his head. The only people who fully understood what the woman was talking about were Hui Yue and Wei, the people who had already seen the system in question.

The woman handed each of the new members an emblem. Some emblems were similar to one another while others were different. It was clear that these emblems were like Hui Yue's sect emblem, showing which sect they were from.

Having finishing what she had to say and giving them the items they would need, the woman nodded her head to Hui Yue and turned to enter the pagoda once more. As she departed, she took with her the original copies of the forms that had been filled out.

"It seems like we will have to split up for a while… This will be the first time in four thousand years we will not be together," Shen Wei, the Jackal, lamented a little but in his eyes, a fire burned with excitement. They had never before left the Divine Beast World and the red realm. For them to suddenly be dragged out with no time to prepare and even worse, be split up, all of them were quite stunned, but also very excited.

"The Celestial Sword Sect's World is fairly safe," Hui Yue repeated what the elders had told him before. "You should be able to reach your sects without any problems. Although I wish to catch up with you, now is not the time. When you reach your sect purchase a communication orb, and you can use it to contact me."

"After you get used to the sect and have gained more strength you should be able to come visit the City of Endless Clouds again and meet up with me. I will be coming here once a month to meet Wei. Then we can talk about what is going on with each other and our lives."

Everyone nodded their heads and looked at one another. No one said anything for a long time before finally, the bull let out a deep sigh. "I will leave first then," he said as he turned to find his new sect.

Hui Yue explained to them that they could not fly within the city; therefore, the bull headed for the eastern gate to leave the city and then he flew towards his new home.

The rhinoceros followed suit and left right after. The next to leave was Xiao She, the snake-woman, followed by Shen Wei, the jackal.

Tang Tian, the flood dragon, and Lu Jing, the three-headed dog left together after which the sea creature Jia Na nodded to Hui Yue and vanished on his own.

The last ones remaining were Zhong Li, the Qilin, Huli, and Cai Jie. Huli was in the strongest guardian sect. A sect that was located just next to the City of Endless Clouds, and also the one where Wei was considered a member.

Cai Jie's sect, the second strongest, was rather far away, but he was in no rush to leave. His strength was the second highest of the group, and his speed was also only inferior to Huli's and Wei's.

Zhong Li sighed deeply before bowing in front of Hui Yue, "Thank you," he said from his heart. "You have brought us to a much grander stage and have allowed us the chance to spread our wings; now it is time for us to prove to you that we are worth it!"

"Young master, wait patiently for our return. When we return we will no longer be a hindrance to you, but a group of experts that will support you and guard your back during your adventures throughout the galaxy as you spread your name far and wide. We have sworn to follow you before, and this is something we take pride in. I know the others said nothing because they felt it did not need to be said, but regardless, I know they are all grateful to follow a leader and friend like you."

"We will strive to become so strong that you can use us for other things than just shields in the future!"

Having said this, he gave a decisive nod to Hui Yue and the others before he turned around and left.

Hui Yue was not too surprised by this, neither were Huli or Cai Jie as they had seen these Gods swear an oath that they would follow him unconditionally, but Wei was shocked. Hui Yue had lived for less than fifty years, yet he had already managed to get his hands on such devoted friends! Even more so, they were all God ranked cultivators, some of whom were actually Immortals of Creation!

"What is your plan for Deng Wu?" Cai Jie suddenly asked as Zhong Li vanished into the crowd and Hui Yue just grinned. "We need to find an alleyway where no one can see me. I am going to get him now."

Wei was surprised when he heard that there was yet another expert following Hui Yue. Was this expert as strong as this Huli person in front of him? Or was he a new God ranked cultivator? He thought curiously.

Together the group went into a small alleyway that was a ways from the bustling street, and Hui Yue vanished once more before he returned with a young man by his side. This young man had azure hair, azure eyes, and was wearing a white robe with azure embroideries.

Hui Yue was surprised to see his friend wearing white clothes rather than the black ones he had always worn before, but when he commented on it, he was told that since he became a God, Deng Wu had always been wearing white clothes.

Looking at Deng Wu it was clear that he was now a God. He did not have an intimidating air about him, nor did he have much of an Ancestral Worldpower pool, but his eyes were tranquil, and he carried himself with poise.

"Why did you not send him to a guardian sect?" Wei asked curiously as he looked at this young man in front of him. Although he was a new God, he seemed to have some sort of air similar to Hui Yue around him, albeit slightly weaker.

"It’s simple," Hui Yue said with a grin on his face as he looked at Wei.

"Deng Wu is a new God. Joining one of those sects will be too beneficial for him, but life within this city is currently better suited for him. In the city, one can find all the same kind of resources these sects have, but the only difference is one cannot get them for free. Still, he will be like a fish in water, with the assistance of you," Hui Yue said as he patted Wei's shoulder.

"You will be in charge of Deng Wu. Show him around town and let him see all the places there are to train here." Hui Yue said as he suddenly had another big leather bag in his hands.

This leather bag was quite a bit bigger than the ones the others had gotten, and when Deng Wu accepted it, it quickly vanished into a spatial ring.

"There are three million Worldpower Stones in it," Hui Yue said. "You are getting more than the others because you can only rely on wealth to increase your strength."

"Have you already started comprehending a dao?" He asked curiously, and Deng Wu nodded his head, "I am comprehending the minor dao of shadow right now." He said, and Hui Yue tossed him a jade vial with a few Pills of Clarity.

"You are walking down the path of darkness, I see?" Hui Yue said, and Deng Wu nodded his head with a smile on his face. He looked at Wei for a short while clearly wondering whether or not this man was trustworthy, but after a glance at Hui Yue, he threw the thought from his mind. Of course, he would reliable when he was so close to Hui Yue.

"I have an innate talent for the major dao of darkness," he explained. "At the same time as me, Little Dragon became a God as well. Due to the bloodline of the Azure Dragon, he is a monster when it comes to the minor daos under the major dao of water. He has already comprehended the dao of waves."

Wei was completely confused when he heard what Deng Wu said. He did not know who Little Dragon was, but Hui Yue just smiled and did not explain.

Shaking his head, Wei did not care much about it. He was sure that when he needed to be told he would be told. This was his mentality after having been a guard for so long; he did not need to be told everything.

"So my first task after joining you is to look after this young master?" Wei asked to double check, and Hui Yue nodded his head. Seeing this, Wei also nodded his head as well. He was satisfied with his task. This would be many times more interesting than running around alone.

"I need to return to the sect soon." Hui Yue said as he looked at the descending sun, feeling a little lost. He had seen his friends for the first time in a very long time, but he had also split up with them again shortly after.

Now that he had seen Huli he wished to bring her with him. He also wished to bring Deng Wu with him as well. They had gone through so many things together and having his best friend by his side was refreshing.

Sighing, Hui Yue looked to the sky above and smiled at his friends. He wrapped his arms around Huli and kissed her on the forehead as he could see that she was as depressed about leaving him as he was to leave her, but, sadly, right now they could not stay together.

"I will return now," he said again. "Next month we can meet up. Buy a communication orb and contact me then I will set up our next meeting. We might also take on a few easy missions here in the Celestial Sword Sect World together," he said with anticipation in his voice. He wished to once again spend time with his dear friends.

"I most likely won't make it next month," Cai Jie said with a sigh as he looked at Hui Yue. "But I will need you to meet up with me in a few months. There are things we need to talk about."

His tone sounded rather serious, and Hui Yue was surprised. Looking at Cai Jie, he could see that he was dead serious, and the young white-haired man nodded his head solemnly. "I will find time to meet up with you; you can tell me anything you need to say."

This reminded the two of them of when they had first met. There was an air of familiarity, and Cai Jie had shown him great care and consideration back then, especially considering they did not know each other at that time. Maybe this was related to their first meeting?
