128: The Guide, Donggong Li (Seeking Immortality 01+1)

Lin Yan's voice faded.

Boom—!

A dazzling light erupted from the token in his hand.

"Beep..."

"Prodigy Lin Yan, the Starry Sky Martial Arts Company welcomes your arrival."

"Initiating Top Secret Communication Channel."

"Imperial Rank Domain Envoy Ming Yutang, please excuse yourself for the time being."

Ming Yutang did not hesitate for a moment and turned to leave the secret room.

He had just walked into the VIP room.

Several gazes shifted toward him.

Seeing him alone, Yuan Chi looked as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Mu Chiyang and Yuan Ming stood up, their eyes flickering.

Steward Hong bowed respectfully, "Domain Envoy, everything has been arranged."

Ming Yutang took in everyone's expressions and nodded.

"Let's wait together for a while."

...The vast starry sky.

Dreamlike technological buildings stood tall like mysterious castles, reaching into the clouds.

The most eye-catching among them was the tallest building, which flickered with the words "Starry Sky Martial Arts Company Headquarters," shining as brilliantly as the stars.

Suddenly, a message from a distant place was transmitted here through the Top Secret Communication Channel.

Inside the spacious and quiet meeting hall on the highest floor, dozens of figures quietly appeared.

They seemed to walk out from the Void Realm, silent and soundless.

Deep voices echoed in the meeting hall.

"What matter has awakened us?"

Dozens of pairs of majestic eyes converged on the large screen in the meeting hall, shining like stars.

A cold mechanical electronic voice sounded softly.

"Supreme Council Regulations."

"A Domain-level Prodigy has appeared within our territories, and it must be reported to the Supreme Council for review."

As the voice fell, a strong wave of emotion surged from these figures simultaneously.

Suddenly.

Rumble—!

A supreme and powerful aura instantly blasted through the meeting hall into the starry sky, causing a riot in several Realms at the center of the Human Race.

"What happened?"

Numerous figures inside the buildings looked up in horror.

"That's the Supreme Council!"

"What could have possibly alerted all of them?"

"Could it be that something has happened in another of our race's territories?"

Inside the meeting hall.

"Xuanqing Sacred Court."

"It's the territory that kid Xuanqing is responsible for."

"Qingwu Divine Court—Duanhen Imperial Court—a star named Blue Star in the Ninth Galaxy, Lin Yan."

"Did we set up a teleportation array over there at the time?"

"Not on my end."

"None here either."

"That is quite unexpected then."

"According to the information provided by the AI, this star should have entered the Martial Arts Civilization less than a thousand years ago."

"To think it could produce a Domain-level Prodigy."

"Regardless, this lucky little fellow has finally arrived in our race's territory."

"I believe some compensation should be given for the lack of guidance in his reception."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"Then, does anyone have any suggestions regarding the choice of his guide?"

"The guide for every Domain-level Prodigy must also be a Domain Level who has grown up; only then can there be a resonance effect."

"Since this little fellow is in Xuanqing's territory, and his current obsession is to resolve the crisis of his home star..."

"I believe it would be better to make a selection from the Imperial Pass over there."

"If it's over there..."

The eyes of the figures in the meeting hall flickered.

"There are indeed three candidates who meet the requirements."

As the voice fell, the large screen considerately displayed three pieces of information.

Their gazes swept across and soon fixed on the first column of information.

"Let's go with this kid."

"Consider it a form of compensation for that little fellow Lin Yan."

"I think that works too."

"However..."

"Will it put too much pressure on the little fellow?"

"After all, a guide is equivalent to half a Revered Master. Not only does this kid have no experience, but he himself is a Peerless Taboo of our race, famous throughout the starry sky."

"Hehe..."

A gentle laugh echoed.

"Everything has two sides, pros and cons."

"The heart of every Domain-level Prodigy is extremely resilient."

"We should believe that this little fellow, who appeared after tens of thousands of years in our race, can be inspired by this."

"Fine."

"Then let's begin the vote."

...On the other side.

Lin Yan, who had been waiting quietly in the secret room for a long time, moved his eyebrows slightly.

He looked up slightly at a figure that was slowly being projected in front of him.

This was a handsome middle-aged man.

He wore a robe as white as snow, giving off an ethereal and otherworldly feeling.

A slightly magnetic voice came through.

"Lin Yan."

"It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Let me introduce myself first."

"Starry Sky Martial Arts Company, Saint-Grade Domain Enforcer."

"Donggong Li."

"I will be your guide from now on, with full responsibility for all your affairs."

Donggong Li... guide... Saint-Grade Domain Enforcer... Before Lin Yan could think further.

"I have fully understood your information."

"So before the official business begins, I want to show you something."

The projected image in the secret room rotated slightly.

A magnificent and grand high wall gradually came into view.

This is!!

Lin Yan's pupils shrank sharply.

A pitch-black background, flickering starlight, and a sprawling high wall!

A Great Wall standing in the starry sky!!

This Donggong Li was currently on a Starry Sky Great Wall!

The image returned to Donggong Li.

He looked into the distance.

"This is our race's Imperial Pass Great Wall."

"Not only am I here, but there are also thousands upon thousands of humans guarding this place."

"After hundreds of years of hard fighting."

"Two years ago, we pushed the Imperial Pass back into the former territory of the Qingwu Divine Court."

Speaking to this point, Donggong Li slowly turned his head back.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Lin Yan took a deep breath.

"I understand."

"Soon, I will become one of you!"

A hint of admiration flashed in Donggong Li's eyes.

"You are very smart."

"I will be waiting for you here."

"Of course, if I have the chance to leave the Imperial Pass, I will also look for your hometown based on the coordinates."

"After all, you are my first guided subject."

Lin Yan nodded gently.

"Thank you."

Donggong Li continued.

"Next, is the official business."

His gaze seemed to penetrate the projection as a beam of light from the groove in front scanned Lin Yan's entire body.

An electronic voice sounded softly in both of their ears.

"Lin Yan, eighteen years and seven months old."

"cultivation: King Rank first grade Peak."

A flash of surprise appeared on Donggong Li's face.

"You're already at the King Rank?"

"And you're much younger than I expected."

He pondered for a moment.

"In that case..."

"Activate permissions!"

As the words fell.

Another layer of light scanned Lin Yan's body.

But this time, it all concentrated on the index finger of his left hand.

The Storage Ring shimmered with light.

"Activation successful."

A light screen appeared at Lin Yan's side through the ring.

Donggong Li obviously knew the situation there and said with a smile.

"I have activated the permissions for you."

"Whatever you need to know, it's all in there."

"If there's anything you're unclear about, you can ask me at any time."

"However."

"I suggest you first get a brief understanding of some information and then study the Ratings."
