“I’ve met the Human Emperor, the Immortal Life Buddha, and Daoist Dong Hua,” Bai Da began, immediately defining the identities of the three individuals.

She was a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox. When she took human form, she appeared as a beautiful woman in her twenties.

Because she had held high positions for many years, even her smallest gestures and movements exuded the elegance of someone superior, without a hint of vulpine charm.

“We meet the Emperor of the Qingqiu Country,” Duge and the others returned the courtesy.

“Your Majesty, please take a seat,” the Longevity Emperor said.

At this moment,

he had changed his attire, wearing a monk’s robe and kasaya. His every move radiated a sacred brilliance, with a halo of Buddhist light appearing and disappearing behind his head. This was the manifestation of the Longevity Emperor’s understanding of the Way of Light, combined with his own cultivation techniques, naturally reflecting his outward appearance.

The effects of Containing the Heavenly Statutes in Mouth were astonishing.

In recent days, the many disciples of Emperor Donghua were out saving sentient beings, almost fulfilling every request, which greatly increased the public’s faith in Buddhism and indirectly boosted the Longevity Emperor’s cultivation level.

The series of changes that had taken place within him had already made the Longevity Emperor a loyal supporter of Duge. He firmly believed that after fulfilling the grand vow he had made, he could truly attain Buddhahood right there and then.

Everyone took their seats.

Duge’s gaze moved past Bai Da and settled on a young girl standing behind her.

She looked about fifteen or sixteen, with a lively expression and already at the Nascent Soul Cultivation Level. Ever since she set foot on Mount Sumeru, her eyes never left Duge.

She must be Ye Guan, the Offering to the Qingqiu Country, an Alien Warrior from Ceres Star.

Among the previous top ten, the Longevity Emperor had captured an Alien Warrior named Fu Qiao.

His keyword was ’talkative’, and he awakened a skill called ‘Heart Disturbing’. As soon as he spoke, his voice would pierce directly into the soul, shattering any semblance of a peaceful state.

With Fu Qiao around, no one could meditate or sleep. On the surface, it seemed like a disruptive skill, but in essence, it was a powerful taunting skill.

If not for the Longevity Emperor having some use for him, he would have been killed by the disciples of Mount Sumeru soon after awakening his skill.

Since Duge arrived and took a dominant position on Mount Sumeru, the moment Fu Qiao saw him, he was as resolute as a gold mountain collapsing or a pillar of jade falling. He chose to submit cleanly.

He was now arranged by Duge to stay on Mount Sumeru, helping the disciples below to cultivate their mental state, while also starting his own cultivation, planning to train him into a Super Noise Warrior.

Each Alien Warrior was a treasure; no matter what kind of trash skill one had, if used in the right place, it could become a surprise weapon.

Having tested Pan-Universe Entertainment’s tolerance towards him and having revealed all his cards, Duge, ready to go all out, no longer cared about the rules set by Pan-Universe Entertainment.

“Emperor Bai, is that Ye Guan beside you?” Duge asked with a smile.

“Indeed,” Bai Da smiled back, “Wan Er, you are of the same kind; go greet the Human Emperor.”

“Ye Guan of Ceres Star, an Alien Warrior, greets the Human Emperor,” said Ye Guan unabashedly as she stepped forward and bowed slightly to Duge, clarifying her own background, “Ye Guan sends greetings to the Senior from Dan Cong and Wu Chang.”

Dan Cong and Wu Chang were comrades who had fought side by side with Duge on the Alien Battlefield before. By mentioning them, Ye Guan’s intent to show goodwill was clear.

Despite such a difficult start, Duge had still managed to carve out such a great name for himself, enough to deter any Alien Warrior from harboring thoughts of hostility towards him.

Even if their spiritual power was forcibly elevated, they were simply not on the same level as Duge. Unless he truly fell from the clouds in the struggle with the natives, continued opposition to him would just be utter foolishness.

“Ye Guan, what’s your keyword?” Duge asked.

“Respected Senior, my keyword is ‘Heed Advice,’” replied Ye Guan with a slight smile, “A month ago, I was fortuitously saved by Emperor Bai and awakened a skill in the Green Hill Country called ‘Heed Wide-Ranging Advice’. As long as I accept and diligently act upon advice given to me, I will inevitably achieve my goal.”

“Inevitably?” Duge asked in surprise.

The Longevity Emperor and the others also turned their attention to her. Anything guaranteed with ‘inevitably’ was somewhat terrifying.

“It only says ‘inevitably’, but it doesn’t imply immediate success,” Ye Guan said with an embarrassed smile, “Emperor Bai advised me to become a Nascent Soul. I practiced cultivation techniques, sought mentorship, and consumed elixirs. It still took me more than a month to achieve the goal.”

“Over a month exceeds many gifted cultivators already,” Emperor Dong Hua commented.

“Without the Purple Spirit Pills Emperor Bai gave me, it would have taken me at least two to three years on my own,” said Ye Guan.

“I wanted to test whether her Nascent Soul formation would fail,” Bai Da said with a smile, “so I bestowed upon her the elixirs. As a result, she succeeded in condensing her Nascent Soul on the first attempt.”

“Did anyone make things difficult for you during your apprenticeship?” Duge asked.

“Yes,” Ye Guan nodded, “but I managed to change my master’s mind with sincerity and perseverance and successfully became her disciple.”

“What would happen if you died during the process of achieving your goal?” Duge asked another question.

“Replying to Senior Duge, I have not tried it, but if I died, I suppose everything would end there,” Ye Guan laughed, “After all, I wouldn’t even have a physical body left, so naturally, there would be no more goals to pursue. Don’t all the effects of keywords disappear after the death of a warrior on the Alien Battlefield?”

Is that so?

Duge looked at her, smiled, and didn’t pursue the effects of her skill any further. Instead, he turned to Bai Da and asked, “Emperor Bai, you brought her here this time because you gave her some advice, right?”
