Demon Sword Sect's Undercover-Chapter 516 - 515 Turing World

The two were casually chatting and expressing their amazement when a purple figure dashed into the backyard in a fluster, and upon regaining composure, revealed herself to be a charming, young Daoist nun with Tongxuan cultivation, her face full of anger, she headed straight for Rao Zongzhi, ƒгeewebnovёl_com

"Big brother! From afar, I could feel the presence of sword qi stirring in the garden. Have you been dueling with swords here again? How many times have I told you not to wield your sword here? If you want to fight, go to the practice arena. You just won’t listen. If you damage the flowers and plants here, I will have to complain to Ancestor Dan and make sure you get what’s coming to you!"

Without waiting for his reply, she went to check if the garden had suffered any damage.

Rao Zongzhi, with his thick skin, was not bothered in the slightest and said in a lowered voice, "This is my cousin Rao Buiyi, hehe, as lovely and endearing as she is outside, at home, she becomes quite fierce and terrible; she’s in charge of pruning and taking care of the backyard, so..."

Hou Niao nodded in understanding, "I get it, I get it, it’s a good thing we knew how to hold back, or we would have been in a world of trouble."

As they spoke, Rao Buiyi had finished checking and, finding nothing amiss in the garden, her expression immediately changed,

"Big brother, come with me to catch spiritual beasts in the Turing World tomorrow."

Rao Zongzhi was somewhat reluctant, "I have things to do tomorrow, and you, always so picky despite having been to the Turing World so many times. I really can’t tell what you are looking for..."

The sibling relationship was evidently very good. Rao Buiyi grabbed him by the sleeve, "Come on, please? I heard from other sisters that they’re opening the Flash Spirit Pocket World this time, it’s a rare opportunity."

The siblings joked and played around, and ultimately, Rao Zongzhi couldn’t withstand the nagging of the family’s bundle of joy, and half-heartedly agreed.

Refusing was just another way of interacting within the family.

Rao Buiyi was an outgoing person, and soon turned her attention to Hou Niao. Obviously, she had heard of him from Rao Zongzhi, and since he was her older brother’s good friend, by extension, he was also her respected elder brother.

Children from privileged backgrounds, especially ones adored by the entire household like her and who had not experienced the cruelty of the cultivation world, tended to act in such a way.

"Senior Hou, hi! I heard from my big brother that Senior Hou is the most dedicated and hardworking of all his friends. Since arriving in Jade Capital, you haven’t taken a single day off, right?"

Clearly, this was Rao Zongzhi’s way of complaining that he had not come to visit his friends yet. Faced with such a charming character, one could not be too rigid or serious, so Hou Niao responded with a smile,

"Indeed, I don’t dare to take off."

Rao Buiyi thought for a moment, "Is it because you’re afraid Sikong Mansion will dock your salary?"

Hou Niao candidly shook his head, "No, it’s because I’m afraid if I take a leave, the officials at Sikong Mansion will realize they don’t miss me at all."

Rao Buiyi burst into laughter, charmed by his single phrase, and found him to be an interesting character. In her experience, most of the friends who visited the Rao family to see her brothers were very reserved and boring, the typical style of sword cultivators, nowhere near as humorous and witty as Senior Hou.

She rolled her eyes playfully, "Senior Hou, I have another good sister who will be joining me to the Turing World, but she couldn’t find a suitable companion. How about you join us tomorrow? The more the merrier."

Rao Zongzhi cautioned from the side, "Ninth Sister, don’t recklessly invite others. Junior Brother Hou is on duty in Sikong Mansion and holds a formal position, unlike me, a man of leisure. It’s fine to have fun, but not at the expense of Sikong Mansion’s affairs."

Hou Niao was somewhat puzzled, "What, is the Turing World dangerous? Does it require protection?"

Rao Zongzhi explained, "Usually, the Turing Department is the one we visit, where the Turing Beasts are quite docile and friendly towards people, so there’s no need for an escort; but if it’s the Flash Spirit Department this time, it holds highly aggressive creatures. We’ll manage, but it would be quite strenuous for cultivators of the Tongxuan Realm, especially for those like them who haven’t experienced the trials and tribulations of the outside world.

Therefore, one must be accompanied by a companion of the Natural Realm to enter."

Just by the tone of Rao Zongzhi’s voice, Hou Niao knew that he couldn’t refuse his somewhat spoiled clan sister. There was also no need to refuse such a request, he thought he might as well take it as an opportunity to relax.

"Well then, since the junior sister is interested and Sikong Mansion has no pressing matter, I might as well go in for a look. It will be my first time, after all."

Now, Hou Niao’s status in the Quanzhen Sect had earned him a seat of his own, no longer the insignificant junior cultivator he once was. Serving in Sikong Mansion was not a task just any ordinary Quanzhen Sword Cultivator could handle. Despite numerous senior officials in Sikong Mansion, he was considered the elite of a whole nation; he would be on par with the triad of giants from Jin City if he were to be stationed in a province.

As his status rose, he naturally gained the privilege to access some of the Shan Sect’s secrets within his clearance level, for instance, the Pocket Worlds owned by the Shan Sect Quanzhen.

The mystical Pocket Worlds are the standard configuration for national Daoist Sect powers in Jinxiu Continent, with each having at least several, big or small. The only time he had visited one was through earning an opportunity to enter the Turing Cave Heaven with his performance at a cultivation conference in the Southwest, an Eocene Cave Heaven owned by Anhe Daoist.

As far as he knew, Shan Sect Quanzhen also had its own Grotto Heavens, not just one, but three; they were the Turing Pocket World, the Eocene Pocket World, and the Sword Tomb Pocket World.

The reason he hadn’t tried these three Pocket Worlds was for many reasons; the most important being the absence of an immediate need.

The Turing Pocket World is a realm of Spiritual Beasts with countless exotic species, divided into three departments: Turing, Flash Spirit, and Ancient Spirit.

The Turing Department is open at all times, where cultivators with the right qualifications have the chance to gain the favor of a certain Turing Beast and bring it out as either a spirit pet or a battle pet, making it popular among cultivators. However, there are conditions to bring a Turing Beast out—one must form a certain spiritual bond with it, simply put, the Turing Beast must take a liking to the cultivator.

The Flash Spirit Department opens far less frequently, and it’s said its availability isn’t swayed by the will of cultivators, but determined by the Pocket World’s own operational rhythm, dependent on luck.

The Ancient Spirit Department is only theoretical; since the Shan Sect has owned the Turing Cave Heaven, it has remained closed, and the reasons are unclear.

This is why Rao Buiyi is so eager for this opportunity.

The Eocene Pocket World depicts the evolutionary changes of heaven and earth and poses considerable danger. Hou Niao had originally planned to seek opportunities there after achieving the impulse of the Upper Realm Golden Core, but now he wasn’t in a hurry, afraid it might disrupt his current rhythm.

Furthermore, unlike the more freely accessible Turing World, entering the Eocene Grotto Heaven requires merit, and he didn’t want to waste his hard-earned achievements without absolute necessity.

The Sword Tomb Grotto Heaven, exclusively for Sword Cultivators, is rumored to be related to Flying Swords?

For the first two Pocket Worlds, the minimum requirement is at least the third level of the Tongtian Realm, but the Sword Tomb Grotto Heaven starts from the Golden Core, which is the biggest distinction.
