Chapter 548: Chapter 344: Return to Blue Mountain, Guild Status (2)

Jinchi chuckled lightly:

"The True Immortal from the patrol is nothing special, just a Tier Four or Five Desolate Beast selected and transformed in the Immortal Transformation Pool, not a True Immortal who has gone through the True Immortal Tribulation properly. Tier Four is a Celestial Soldier, Tier Five only a squad leader, not even ranked as an Immortal, with a status lower than us Celestial Immortals who have properly passed the Celestial Human Tribulation."

"Isn’t this requirement a bit too high!"

Jinchi sighed lightly:

"Without connections, that’s just how it is. We have to endure it for a while."

"It’s not like you, Mr. Su, you have connections, and your promotion speed will surely be faster than mine in the future."

Su Yu asked in confusion:

"What connections do I have?"

"You have connections with a Primordial Monarch!"

"I only incidentally got a Primordial Monarch’s token; I don’t actually know any Primordial Monarch."

"Haha, it doesn’t matter where you got the Primordial Monarch’s token from, the key point is you’ve already gained the Primordial Monarch’s approval. With this relationship, your promotion speed after joining the Celestial Court will be rapid, possibly rising to the status of a Seventh-Grade Immortal Official, equal to a Guardian Envoy."

"That’s an exaggeration."

"It’s not an exaggeration, you don’t feel it now since you haven’t joined the Celestial Court, but you’ll see in the future."

Jinchi chuckled and said:

"If Mr. Su makes it big in the future, don’t forget to give me a hand."

"No problem."

Su Yu didn’t think too much, answering casually.

Jinchi showed a hint of joy, then changed the subject and asked:

"Mr. Su, now that you can use this token to travel everywhere, will you go now or wait for the Celestial Court’s Demon Execution Squad to return?"

"Will this affect my immortal merit?"

"No, regardless of the outcome, the immortal merit will automatically be credited to your account."

"Then I won’t wait, I’ll go first."

"Alright, I’ll guide you there."

"Thanks, Brother Chi."

"You’re welcome."

Jinchi enthusiastically guided Su Yu away from this peak, flying towards a peak between Celestial Pillar Mountain and one of the other eight peaks, while explaining:

"Besides Celestial Pillar Mountain, the Celestial Court has an observation point in each Celestial Destiny civilization’s territory, guarded by Celestial Soldiers and equipped with a long-distance teleportation array. But generally, people don’t know about it. Within our race, only experts at the Celestial Immortal level and above know about it, and not everyone has the authorization to teleport. But Mr. Su, you have the token, and you can use it freely from now on."

"Well, that’s convenient."

Su Yu thought for a moment and then asked:

"By the way, I know of an ancient teleportation array from the human heartland to the East Sea of the Cyan Immortal Domain. Do you think this has any value?"

Jinchi paused, looking surprised as he asked:

"Is that teleportation array intact?"

"It’s damaged, but I’m already repairing it and can fix it."

Jinchi excitedly said:

"This is great! The resources on the human mainland are limited, and in every aspect, they can’t compare with the Cyan Immortal Domain. Over there, the land is vast and sparsely populated. All races want to bring more of their people to the Cyan Immortal Domain to claim territory, but they’re hampered by the lack of quick transit routes."

"If you submit this to the Human Supreme Council, you could make a great contribution, and getting a Spiritual Treasure as a reward would be far from out of reach."

"Hmm, what if I use it for my purposes?"

Su Yu explained:

"I’ve established a super guild in the human mainland, with tens of millions of members."

"That’s possible too, but I suggest you cooperate with the Supreme Council. With this item and your strength, you can gain a very high status within the race, which could save you a lot of trouble."

"Sure, but I don’t have a channel to communicate up there."

Jinchi smiled and said:

"That’s a small problem. Brother here can help, as I am now a general in the military department and a member of the Supreme Council."

"Wait for me a moment, I’ll take a leave and accompany you back."

"Hold on."

Su Yu quickly stopped him, smiling bitterly:

"No hurry, the teleportation array isn’t fixed yet. Let’s wait until it’s repaired to seek your help."

"Alright then."

....

Five days later, Su Yu traversed billions of kilometers, appearing in the human heartland, located in an unnamed sea region at the seabed city five billion kilometers away from the Mainland of Divine Land.

This observation point was established in a submarine canyon, with a massive light shield enveloping the city.

Within the city was a True Immortal captain and twenty-something Celestial Immortal guards, most transformed via the Immortal Transformation Pool. Only a few had properly passed the Celestial Human Tribulation.

In addition to the stationed military, the city housed many cultivators from the Human Race.

They resided here permanently to foster good relations with the local guards.

Upon his arrival through the teleportation, as guided by Jinchi, Su Yu registered his name and the destination, passing through smoothly.

A stream of light shot from the sea, and Su Yu looked around the vast ocean, though endless seas spread in all directions, obscuring everything from view. Yet, he felt a familiar sense of security.

"Home at last."

The power levels in the Cyan Immortal Domain were incredibly high compared to here. Celestial and True Immortals could be transformed en masse; genuine Celestial Immortals were as common as dogs, and True Immortals roamed everywhere, offering no sense of safety there.

Now back home, with his current strength, he faced virtually no threats in the human heartland.

Lingering mid-air briefly, he opened the map to clarify his direction, transforming into a magnetic stream of light heading straight for Blue Mountain.

A month later, Su Yu reached that familiar sea area.

Soon after, he quietly appeared alone on Ten Thousand Poison Island, entering Thousand Stars City.

The city remained bustling, teeming with activity, appearing more prosperous than when he had left.

Sitting at a small roadside store with some snacks, Su Yu ate while checking the regional channel, hoping to understand the guild’s developments during his absence.

"Forming a team to hunt monsters, requires level 80 and above, possessing an artifact of Tier Six and above."

"Selling medium-sized Gu Cultivation Pools, bidding starts at 1800 gold, contact if interested."

"Selling Golden Silkworm Gu, minimum sale 1000 pieces, contact if interested."

At a glance, ninety percent of the messages involved various transactions, significantly more commercial than when Su Yu had left.

He read with a smile, in a good mood.

After a while, opening the guild channel, countless messages flooded in anew.

But soon, his smile started to fade.

"Interesting!"

The guild’s development over the years was far beyond his expectations.

Before checking, he assumed that with the foundation he had laid, they’d have no problem dominating the entire East Sea. If his subordinates were more ambitious, their influence could have extended from the East Sea to both the South and North Sea fringes.

Yet, in reality, upon returning after a decade and more, not only had the Thousand Star Hall failed to expand its influence, it had contracted significantly.

Using his position as the guild leader, he quickly reviewed the guild’s entire development history over the years. Everything that had happened was recorded in the guild logs, which he reviewed in detail.

Currently, the guild’s territory encompasses Ten Thousand Poison Island and the overall Thousand Star Archipelago, stretching over 200 million kilometers north to south, and more than 500 million kilometers east to west, occupying only about a third of the East Sea.

Despite the losing smile, he wasn’t particularly angry because the guild’s stagnation over the years couldn’t be blamed on his subordinates.

They simply faced too many opponents they couldn’t overcome.

Years ago, the Thousand Star Hall was unequivocally the superpower in the Blue Mountain Archipelago, unrivaled, with the potential to sweep the entire Blue Mountain area, naturally causing unease and rejection from other Blue Mountain Archipelago forces.

Back when Su Yu was around, with his unparelleled strength able to crush all opposition, the guild grew swiftly, continually expanding.

But as the guild hadn’t yet acquired absolute dominance when he left for the Cyan Immortal Domain, the guild’s development slowed down.

Especially after his departure, his deterrence removed, many major powers unwilling to accept Thousand Star Hall’s dominance in Blue Mountain secretly united to overtly and covertly suppress and hinder it.

This scenario intensified as the years passed, with players successfully passing the second tribulation to become Earth Immortal Golden Core beings like Su Yu back in the day.

Su Yu was not the first pioneer in Blue Mountain; even a century earlier, the first pioneers arrived here, among them many top elites, like Tang Xingye, the former president of the Celestial God Association, who was level one hundred ninety-something, only a step away from two hundred-level a decade ago.

Many from the same cohort as Tang Xingye were not far apart in level back then. After more than ten years of cultivation, it wasn’t surprising that they’d survive tribulation and become an Earth Immortal.
