Wind and Cloud Xu Zong: “Roar? (Cheating? I don’t even know how many years I’ve lived, and now there’s cheating?)”
Martial World General Xu Zong: “Goodness gracious, I was just talking about Wind and Cloud a few days ago, and now it’s here.”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “I can’t understand why it’s another month?”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “The chat group has been upgraded? It sounds like talent sharing can be turned off, and there can be live broadcasts?”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Does this chat group know what we’re doing? I remember we complained last time that this group didn’t have the option to turn off sharing and live broadcasts, but now it does after one upgrade.”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “So, next time it upgrades, I hope it adds a ‘increase sharing time’ function!”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “No one is welcoming the newcomers?”
Wind and Cloud Xu Zong: “Roar. (It’s okay, you guys do whatever you want, don’t mind me, I’ll figure it out on my own.)”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Hmm?”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “What’s going on? I can hear the voice of a beast from the newcomer? Why can I understand what it means?”
Wind and Cloud Xu Zong: “Roar. (It’s my innate ability to communicate with any living creature.)”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Can’t you just speak directly?”
Wind and Cloud Xu Zong: “Roar. (Forget it, it’s too troublesome, as long as I can understand, it’s fine.)”
Wind and Cloud Xu Zong: “Roar. (And I haven’t spoken for a long time, I’ve forgotten how to speak.)”
Martial World General Xu Zong: “What kind of creature did you transform into?”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Are you not human?”
Wind and Cloud Xu Zong: “Roar. (Fire Qilin, like the one at the Leshan Giant Buddha.)”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Hahaha! Finally, even I, who is not human, has appeared? Great, I feel balanced now!”
Martial World General Xu Zong: “I’ve always wanted to ask, why is your voice so soft, @Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong?”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Aren’t you pretending?”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Huh?”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Aren’t you going to come clean?”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Come clean about what?”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “You didn’t just transform into Nalan Yanran’s senior brother, but directly into Nalan Yanran herself, right?”
Martial World General Xu Zong: “Damn it! This is so explosive!”
Wind and Cloud Xu Zong: “Roar? (What’s going on?)”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Damn it, how did you know?!!”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “On the first day you joined the group, I had suspicions, especially with your profile picture. After that, you occasionally revealed yourself, thinking we couldn’t tell. We just didn’t say anything.”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Well, I think there’s nothing wrong with this kind of thing. Look, Wind and Cloud’s Xu Zong isn’t even human anymore.”
Wind and Cloud Xu Zong: “Roar? (I didn’t mean anything else, I just wanted to ask if you’re being polite or not?)”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Since the chat group has the live broadcast function now, do you want to do a live broadcast, @Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong?”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “It’s not like you guys turned into women, so you don’t care.”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Let’s forget about the live broadcast. I’m not planning to pretend anymore. It’s tiring, and now that I see that I’m not human, I feel balanced.”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “You can laugh if you want. I did indeed transform into Nalan Yanran.”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Hahahaha!”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “I’m done laughing.”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Middle finger from a beautiful girl.jpg”
When the picture was opened, it was indeed the young girl from Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong’s profile picture, looking disdainful while raising her middle finger.
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Don’t worry too much about it. Maybe there will be other Xu Zongs who transform into women joining the group in the future, and then you can form a group.”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Sigh, you’re easy to talk to. We’re clearly the same person, why is there such a big difference?”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Are you asking yourself that question?”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Damn it!”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Even more damn it!”
Martial World General Xu Zong: “6!”
Wind and Cloud Xu Zong: “Roar. (I didn’t expect to see such a big show as soon as I joined the group. The chat group is really interesting.)”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “By the way, why is the newcomer so indifferent? How long have you been transformed into the Fire Qilin?”
Wind and Cloud Xu Zong: “Roar. (I can’t remember.)”
Wind and Cloud Xu Zong: “Roar. (The only time I went outside when I was transformed into the Fire Qilin, I saw the Wind and Cloud world. After that, I never dared to go out again.)”
Wind and Cloud Xu Zong: “Roar! (It’s too terrifying. Not to mention the likes of Emperor Shitian, Great Demon God, and Great Sun Tathagata, just Xiong Ba alone, I might not be able to defeat. I’ve been staying in the Lingyun Cave, not bothering anyone, just eating and sleeping, or studying my Qilin bloodline. A long time has passed, but I don’t know how long exactly.)”
Martial World General Xu Zong: “What about the ancestors of the Duans and Nies? Haven’t they come to find you?”
Wind and Cloud Xu Zong: “Roar? (I usually only catch some wild game in the mountains to eat. I don’t provoke humans, and I’m usually kind-hearted and willing to help. Why would they come and bother me?)”
Martial World General Xu Zong: “That’s true. The reason they went to confront the Fire Qilin was because the Fire Qilin was causing trouble everywhere.”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “The Fire Qilin Sword and the Nie Family’s Mad Blood, they’re gone now.”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “When I was reading the original work, I always found it strange. Clearly, the Fire Qilin is full of treasures. Its scales can forge the Fire Qilin Sword, its blood can form the Blood Bodhi, and it can even provide the bloodline of a mad dog. So why is the Fire Qilin itself so weak and fragile? Have you found the answer to this question?”Wind & Cloud Xu Zong: “Roar. (The Fire Qilin is one of the four great Auspicious Beasts, so it’s normal for it to have these unique abilities. However, the Fire Qilin is not very intelligent and knows nothing about its own characteristics, let alone how to develop them.)”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Auspicious Beasts… Are the Auspicious Beasts of the Wind & Cloud world really Auspicious Beasts? Let’s not talk about the Phoenix and the Black Tortoise for now, aren’t the Fire Qilin and the Tyrannosaurus purely magical beasts?”
Wind & Cloud Xu Zong: “Roar. (Indeed, the Fire Qilin is a contradictory entity, possessing both the divinity of an Auspicious Beast and the madness-inducing nature of a magical beast. Over the years, I’ve felt quite influenced by the Fire Qilin’s bloodline, feeling restless. Fortunately, I’m rather timid and afraid of being confronted by the likes of domineering individuals, so I’ve been hiding in the Lingyun Cave. Over time, I feel that my temper has improved a lot.)”
Martial World General Xu Zong: “I can’t understand why he just roared once, and I suddenly understood so much. This kind of conversation is too efficient!”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Look at the newcomer’s talent.”
Several Xu Zongs clicked on Wind & Cloud Xu Zong’s avatar simultaneously. It was a four-legged Auspicious Beast, about three meters long, with its entire body engulfed in bright red flames. It was lying on the ground like a cat, looking lazy.
Talent: Communication with All Beings
Skill: Claw Method of the Top Ten Martial Arts
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Such a concise shareable.”
Martial World General Xu Zong: “Roar. (You only have the Ten Directions Martial Arts as your skill? Aren’t there many abnormal martial arts in the Wind & Cloud world? Haven’t you sought any of them?)”
Wind & Cloud Xu Zong: “Roar. (I hardly ever go out. It was only because Wu Wudi had once engraved his martial arts in the Lingyun Cave that I managed to comprehend two claw techniques that suit me. Eh, why are you roaring too? Is this the sharing ability? Interesting.)”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Roar. (You can click on our avatars. There are talents and skills that can be shared. However, whether our skills are effective for a creature like you, I don’t know.)”
Wind & Cloud Xu Zong: “Roar. (I understand.)”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Woof? (Can this Communication with All Beings really communicate with all creatures?)”
Wind & Cloud Xu Zong: “Roar. (It works with any creature, but whether a conversation is possible depends on the creature’s intelligence. It’s pointless to talk to creatures with low intelligence. All they think about all day is eating, mating, and so on.)”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Meow. (I don’t have anything to say, just trying it out.)”
Martial World General Xu Zong: “Moo? (By the way, has anyone tried the live streaming feature?)”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Quack? (Why don’t you do it yourself?)”
Martial World General Xu Zong: “Baa. (I’m on the road, and there’s nothing but boring scenery around me.)”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Caw. (I’m also in my room in Celestial God Mountain cultivating, there’s nothing interesting to see.)”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Roar. (I’m also training in the gravity room, which is even smaller.)”
Wind & Cloud Xu Zong: “Hiss. (My Lingyun Cave is just a cave in the mountain, nothing interesting either.)”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Squeak! (It’s obvious then, start live streaming @Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong, let me see how you’ve developed!)”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Cluck! (How come you guys have gone through all the animal sounds in a blink of an eye? It took me a while to think of a new one. Damn it, get lost, why isn’t there an anti-harassment system in this group?)”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Chirp. (In half a month, it will be the Cloud Mist Sect’s grand competition. I’ll live stream then.)”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Peep? (And if we’re really going to live stream, wouldn’t the Universal Genius Battle be more exciting than me?)”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Tweet! (The Universal Genius Battle is still a long way off, at least four or five years away. I’ll definitely live stream then, but before that, I want to see how you break off your engagement with Yan Emperor! I remember it was when you were about ten years old, right?)”
The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Coo. (Oh yes, live streaming the break-off of the engagement with Yan Emperor, exciting!)”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “……Hoot. (I originally thought that only Swallowed Star’s Xu Zong in this group was trustworthy, but I didn’t expect you to collude with them.)”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Chirp. (Watching the excitement is human nature.)”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “I can’t think of any more, I give up.”
In early May, all the Xu Zongs in the chat group were either immersed in cultivation or on the road.
Swallowed Star’s Xu Zong was still busy absorbing the Mu Yajing.
“Did you hear about the large-scale avalanche in the Himalayas?”
“Yes, I heard from a reliable source that there might be new ancient civilization ruins emerging!”
After leaving the gravity room, Xu Zong heard two elite training camp students excitedly discussing this.
“Ruins emerging?”
Xu Zong heard about this, but didn’t pay much attention. His current priority was to become a Celestial Level warrior as soon as possible. He could worry about the ruins later.
However, not long after.
A call came to Xu Zong’s wristwatch. It was from the Chinese military.
“Hello?”
“Are you Xu Qi’s nephew, Xu Zong?”
“Yes.”
Xu Zong answered the call, thinking it was an invitation from the military’s high command, but it seemed not?
“I’m sorry, but we have some bad news to tell you… The warrior team led by your uncle Xu Qi encountered a large avalanche while exploring the Himalayas, and their fate is currently unknown.”
