IW: Chapter 283 - Chat Group: Everyone's Upcoming Major Events.
"That's certainly possible, after all, it doesn't inherently belong to Miao Xinjiang; it was merely entrusted to Miao Xinjiang for protection by Liu Bowen."
Hearing his disciple say that, he suddenly realized that if it was truly as he said, then this item would be very difficult to retrieve.
When they found a more suitable person for protection, that old woman truly wouldn't keep it in Miao Xinjiang any longer.
Now, the rumors about the Dragon Vein were becoming increasingly outrageous.
The old woman had always believed that the Dragon Vein would bring danger to Miao Xinjiang.
So, once she found a suitable candidate, she would indeed no longer keep the Dragon Vein.
"It seems action is still needed, before they realize what's happening."
The Dragon Vein could not fall into Bai Ye's hands.
After realizing this, he decided to strike first.
Shenxiao Sect.
Snowflake once again arrived here.
She curiously looked around the sect.
Big Yellow was sprawled at the entrance, drowsily dozing off, while the panda beside him gnawed on bamboo.
This was completely different from the Shenxiao Sect Snowflake had imagined.
"What? What idea are you cooking up now?"
Bai Ye had always paid attention to Snowflake.
Seeing her fleeting emotions, he naturally noticed them.
"It's just not what I imagined, Taoist priest. I thought it should be towering peaks, and then…"
Snowflake rambled on and on.
Finally, Bai Ye came to a conclusion: she had incorporated the cultivation sects from cultivation worlds into her imagination.
Before coming, Snowflake had been fantasizing about these things.
"Now that spiritual energy is depleted, how could it possibly be as grand as before?"
Bai Ye let out a bitter laugh.
He wished it were true, but unfortunately, given the current situation, it was simply impossible.
"Master, was our Shenxiao Sect very grand before?"
Ren Tingting also asked curiously.
She didn't know anything about the past.
The others also looked over with curiosity.
"Grand, it was extremely grand! Even a small yellow dog in the sect would walk with its head held high!"
Big Yellow lifted his head, then lowered it again.
Indeed, to be a dog to this extent, it was still due to the decline of the sect.
If it were in the past, who wouldn't call him God Yellow upon seeing him?
"Is that because of spiritual energy?"
The fact that a sect could become so dilapidated in a few hundred years made Ren Tingting and the others feel somewhat unbelievable.
"That's part of the reason. After all, if even people aren't strong, then the sect naturally declines."
Indeed.
Over the past few hundred years, not only the Dragon Vein had been severed, but also the path to immortality for other cultivators.
"Then, Taoist Priest, if you revive the Dragon Vein, will the Shenxiao Sect be able to restore its former glory?!"
To restore the glory of the Shenxiao Sect, it is our duty!
Although she was from Miao Xinjiang, she would marry Bai Ye in the future, so she was half a Shenxiao Sect member, wasn't she?
"I'm not sure, but it will at least be better than it is now."
No one knew for sure about the revival.
"Then our Miao Xinjiang also has a share; I'll bring it to you, Taoist Priest, when the time comes."
"Your Miao Xinjiang also has one?"
"Mm-hmm, this is the Dragon Vein guarded by the Saintess; Liu Bowen personally delivered it to us back then. I'll give it to you, Taoist Priest, when the time comes!"
Because of her succession as Saintess, this portion of the Dragon Vein would also be guarded by her.
Since Bai Ye needed it, she would naturally prioritize giving it to Bai Ye.
"How should I even describe you…"
Hearing Snowflake say that, Bai Ye was somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
How could he even scold Snowflake?
She was going to hand over the Dragon Vein directly to him.
"Won't your grandma say anything?"
He realized that since Miao Xinjiang had always possessed a Dragon Vein, that meant Snowflake's grandma knew about it when he last inquired about the Dragon Vein, but she hadn't told them about it.
Combined with what Snowflake said, that it was something their Miao Xinjiang had always protected, so it definitely couldn't be given to others, right?
And for Snowflake to tell him directly, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?
"I'm the Saintess!"
"…"
Alright, alright, alright!
You are the Saintess!
Bai Ye could already imagine her grandma's expression.
However, he would still need to speak with the elder when the time came.
After all, it was something they had protected, and taking it away without a word would be somewhat improper.
He also didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
It would be bad if people thought he was approaching Snowflake only for the Dragon Vein.
"Let's talk about this later. I'll take you for a walk."
Bai Ye wiped the sweat from his face.
He felt it was about time to take Snowflake for a walk and stop talking about this topic.
Otherwise, he didn't know what else might spill out of Snowflake's mouth later.
Gang Gui Bai Ye: [@Zombie Bai Ye, how's the Dragon Vein on your side?] It's been a while since you appeared.
He was still planning to borrow the Ring of Merit for a bit.
Zombie Bai Ye: [I've collected one and pinpointed the location of another.]
The Dragon Vein still needed purification, so he wasn't planning to continue collecting it during this period.
Besides, he also needed to prepare for the Taoist Competition recently.
He still needed to closely supervise Ren Tingting and the others' cultivation.
Although they were progressing very quickly, their time as beginners was ultimately too short.
So they still needed to cultivate.
Gang Gui Bai Ye: [Your speed is pretty good. I should be moving against those guys soon, and recently, it seems some Onmyoji have come from Sakura's side.]
Although it was a bit strange, Huang Yaozu and Chen Guoqiang currently had open access, so many things were known to them and passed on to him.
He also learned that many Onmyoji had come here.
It seemed to be due to the national fate struggle and the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect member he killed last time?
He wasn't very clear, but currently, there were more and more evil cultivators in Hong Kong.
He also took this opportunity to clear them out.
Naruto Bai Ye: [Cough, guess what I found recently?]
Pirate Bai Ye: [What?]
Naruto Bai Ye: [It seems Madara has been revived…]
Although intelligence suggested it wasn't certain, and it could also be Uchiha Itachi, in his opinion, it was highly likely that Madara-sama had been revived.
First, Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo couldn't be that large.
And most crucially, Black Zetsu had always preserved Uchiha Madara's cells.
In the anime, Obito didn't want to revive Uchiha Madara, wasn't it because he wanted to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and then activate the Eye of the Moon Plan?
But later, Black Zetsu gave Madara's cells to Orochimaru Kabuto.
Madara's revival forced Obito to change his plan.
The Naruto world had completely collapsed.
He had already unified all Five Great Nations.
And all Akatsuki Organization members, except for Uchiha Itachi, Kisame, and Zetsu, had all defected.
Either they were captured and reformed in Konoha, or they were like Nagato, voluntarily accepting everything here.
Nagato saw peace, so he chose to stay here.
So, when the Akatsuki Organization fell apart, Obito and Black Zetsu had no other options.
Even if Obito was unwilling, Uchiha Madara would definitely be revived.
He couldn't collect Nine Tailed Beasts by himself.
Although Kenji sometimes lacked a brain, his intelligence was currently online.
He naturally knew the gap between himself and Bai Ye.
So, reviving Uchiha Madara was a foregone conclusion.
However, Uchiha Madara's revival should be in the form of Edo Tensei, right?
The Rinnegan was still with him.
Pirate Bai Ye: [That exciting? You can dance with Madara-sama?]
If that's the case, then it's really not bad.
Have a match with Uchiha Madara, and then tell him that an old fossil should roll back into his coffin.
Hmm…
Although Sasuke was arrogant, what he said did have a certain swagger.
But that bullet from ten years ago now struck Boruto's Sasuke right in the forehead.
When you say that, did you ever consider how spirited you once were?
Naruto Bai Ye: [Not just dancing with Madara-sama, I feel like other Kage might also be involved.]
Bai Ye had a premonition that perhaps not only Uchiha Madara but also the other Five Kage and others would appear.
In short, he would probably encounter the Fourth Great Ninja War.
But it didn't matter; it was bound to happen eventually.
Besides, aliens were coming later.
He just didn't understand why this planet was so favored by the Ōtsutsuki.
Couldn't other planets work?
Speaking of which, was he missing a Momoshiki and a Jōgan?
Pirate Bai Ye: [What are you afraid of? Just treat it as the Fourth Great Ninja War.]
What's there to say about it?
Just fight.
He would probably start fighting soon too.
The sea level problem still needed to be resolved.
But thankfully, he still had plenty of time.
KOF Bai Ye: [Indeed, my Orochi is about to be revived.]
Pirate Bai Ye: [King of Fighters '97?]
If he remembered correctly, this guy was still in '96 before.
KOF Bai Ye: [That's right, last time was '96, this time is '97, and I'm hosting it!]
This time for '97, everyone was pulling out all the stops, ready to defeat Bai Ye.
Last time, his overwhelming combat power astonished everyone.
So, when Bai Ye said that the next fighting tournament would be hosted by him, the other fighters were all prepared.
They were determined to redeem themselves in the '97 fighting tournament.
Pirate Bai Ye: [By the way, does this also require sponsorship fees?!]
If he remembered correctly, a fighting tournament isn't just something you host.
This kind of thing also depends on whether you have money.
Why would fighters, with nothing better to do, come to your fighting tournament?
First, of course, to compete with other fighters.
Second, you naturally have to pay them.
The '96 tournament offered a considerable reward, attracting many fighters.
KOF Bai Ye: [Ahem, Chizuru sponsored it… ]
Although it was a bit embarrassing, the fighting tournament was indeed sponsored by Kagura Chizuru.
The Kagura family was not short on money.
Initially, he actually refused.
But when Kagura Chizuru approached Bai Ye and explained that she had discovered the Orochi seal had been broken, she believed Orochi would be revived very soon.
So she wanted to use this fighting tournament to do something.
Therefore, the problem that was originally to be hosted by Bai Ye changed to a joint effort with Kagura Chizuru.
Kagura Chizuru was responsible for providing the funds.
Naruto Bai Ye: [You're eating soft rice?]
KOF Bai Ye: [How can you call this eating soft rice! I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!]
How can a fighter's business be called eating soft rice?
Kagura Chizuru proposed this herself.
He was just going along with what she said.
Arad White Night: [Eating soft rice with a hard stance!]
KOF Bai Ye: [Yo, buddy, you're finally out recently! I thought you were busy romancing Celia!]
This guy.
He hadn't appeared in a long time.
He thought you were lost in a gentle embrace.
Arad White Night: [Don't mention it, the Belmar Principality defense war is about to begin. I just took office and now I have to go to war, it's really miserable!]
The Belmar Principality itself was a peace-loving nation, so their country didn't have much defensive power.
And this matter naturally fell upon Bai Ye.
Apparently, Queen Skadi thought so too.
How did he feel like he got scammed when he accepted that armor back then?
More money!
He would definitely make Queen Skadi pay him more money then.
Shinigami Bai Ye: [Don't die. Your world is much more dangerous than ours.]
Even though he had been lying low, he still felt it wasn't enough.
Not only Aizen, but also the Zero Division, the Soul King, the Wandenreich, and those nobles.
As the one who arranged all of this, the Soul King always felt that he had to be low-key and extremely cautious.
Anyway, in the Soul King's calculations, as long as they were qualified to become the Soul King, no matter how they fought in the end, they would actually become the Soul King's pawns.
Whether it was Ichigo, Aizen, or even Yhwach.
Their existence was merely 'created' by the Soul King who wished to be free.
He didn't want to become one of the Soul King candidates.
Nichijou Bai Ye: [All of your worlds are full of conspiracies and schemes. Unlike my world, I feel like my place is really pretty good!]
Although saying that sounds a bit like schadenfreude, his place was indeed quite good.
Biochemical Bai Ye: [Once I had some strength, I felt my place wasn't bad either, but unfortunately, my mission is a bit heavier than yours.]
If this world didn't have the Z-virus, he felt he might be a bit better off.
After all, this virus could truly destroy the world.
Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Dead by Daylight SOL.
With these chaotic worlds mixed together, he felt he had to do something.
If he did nothing and there were no people left in this world, wouldn't he be quite lonely staying here?
Actually, not really… After all, Aunt Wang, Claire, and Gil were all here.
Speaking of which, this was actually pretty good.
Nichijou Bai Ye: [There's nothing you can do about your world. If you had joined the chat group earlier, maybe you could have stopped it.]
Biochemical Bai Ye: [That's true.]
Initially, he himself didn't have much ability to stop such things.
Later he did, but the outbreak had already become widespread in this world.
It was difficult for him to stop it, so he could only do his best.
Nichijou Bai Ye: [Never mind, I still need to check my report. Everyone, I'm off!] Because of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts' first move, Kamoshida, whose most precious thing had been stolen from his heart, had now surrendered to the police.
And their Phantom Thieves of Hearts became famous in one fell swoop.
