Chapter 579: [432] Raking in tens of thousands of gold! Time rewind advantage! (Asking for monthly passes and recommendations)_1
Meanwhile,
at this moment in a secluded courtyard within the Western Continent,
nobody would have guessed that the infamous Elder Wuji from the Old Gods Association was right under their noses.
“Elder, the elite members of the Heavy Equipment Association in the North Continent have mysteriously vanished under the leadership of the Guardian. It’s suspected that someone from the Sword Pavilion made a covert move. In the South Continent and the Western Continent, under Elder Candle’s command, all the elite members including the Guardian were killed. In the Central State and the Eastern Continent, we partnered with Elder White and also killed them all.”
The man who was reporting had just finished speaking when a tall woman beside him interrupted, “Why have I heard that the group from Central State survived?”
Someone asked, “Who led the team in Central State?”
“It was Zhongshan leading the team, wasn’t he just an Extraordinary Sixth Rank? How could he have survived?”
“If it was Zhongshan, I am not surprised; his fist techniques are very strong, he has the ability to fight across ranks. Who was in charge of Central State?”
Everyone looked toward the tall, sturdy man in black cloak at the front.
The sturdy man in black cloak remained expressionless, glancing at the figure next to the Golden Dragon Fishing Rod.
“Ghost Fang himself reported that the Guardian, Zhongshan, is dead.”
The woman next to him raised an eyebrow slightly, “For Ghost Fang to deal with Zhongshan, it wouldn’t have been that easy, right?”

The sturdy man glanced at her and said emotionlessly, “Ghost Fang said it was him and the Demon King who joined forces to kill him. That group from Central State couldn’t possibly have survived!”
The woman was taken aback.
Even the people around her looked at each other, uncertain.
Who was lying?
“Ghost Fang would never lie!” the sturdy man said icily.
Elder Wuji slowly opened his eyes.
The cooperation between the Demon King and Ghost Fang was his idea.
He naturally wouldn’t doubt them.
This kind of trust was absolute.
As Elder Wuji slowly opened his eyes, it seemed as if he had already made a decision.
He gave an order decisively!
“Seal off the news about Central State, pretend Zhongshan isn’t dead!”
At this moment,
everyone in the room knew that the Elder’s calculations, though delayed, had finally come.
…
The night was tranquil.
Pei Jinye was meditating cross-legged.
From a member of the Dark Sea to the Heavy Equipment Association, this journey of Devouring had finally led him to a fatigue that was mixed with pleasure.
The Artifact Refining was successful; it advanced to Level 4, and besides that, the Body Technique System was only two Extraordinary Gene Fragments away from advancing to Level 4.
Unknowingly, Pei Jinye now possessed an increasing number of Level 4 Extraordinary-Human Genes.
It’s worth mentioning that,
he had already upgraded the Instrument · Sword to Level 4, the swordsmen secretly trained by Gaia in the underground base, he had practically slaughtered all of them.
Therefore, the Instrument · Sword had already advanced to Level 5, even after slaughtering the swordsmen in the secret base twice.
Currently, Pei Jinye was unable to advance to LV6.
Setting aside that he had only just challenged the Extraordinary Fifth Rank,
the gap in the Extraordinary Genes necessary to advance to LV6 was indeed significant.
The Extraordinary Genes at Level 2 required three Level 1 Extraordinary Genes, nine Extraordinary Gene Fragments.
Level 3 needed three Level 2 Extraordinary Genes, which is equivalent to nine Level 1 Extraordinary Genes, twenty-seven Extraordinary Gene Fragments…
And so forth.
The Extraordinary Genes at LV6 would need 243 Level 1 Extraordinary Genes… This means Pei Jinye would have to keep killing Awakeners who possessed these types of genes until he hit 243 people.
“This is only just for the LV6 Extraordinary Gene…”
Pei Jinye couldn’t help but murmur, would he have enough to kill?
A high global population doesn’t mean an abundance of Extraordinary-Human Genes.
Subpar ones aren’t worthwhile, and rare genes can’t be synthesized in quantity.
“If it weren’t for the Universal Gene… I really wouldn’t know how to live this life.”
Pei Jinye had a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth…
“Do I look like I’m that vicious?”
…
A night passed without event.
The next morning, the crisp calls of birds echoed one after another.
Pei Jinye listened to the birds gossiping about every family’s matters, either about someone’s man being unfaithful again, or that someone else has seized a good spot on a tree… It already had ten nests, so why steal more!
The incessant buzz of gossip gave Pei Jinye a headache; he turned to see the giant python on the pagoda tree also annoyed by the noise, suddenly lashing with its tail to scare off those old birds.
Dozens of startled birds flew into the air and then angrily circled the Giant Python, chirping noisily.
The chatter, without exception, wasn’t very pleasant.
Before Pei Jinye could act, the Bluebird that had first followed Pei Jinye flew over, causing the other birds to retreat.
The Bluebird had become quite larger than when it had started, with extraordinarily sharp talons.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that at this time, its talons could easily pierce through the bodies of eagles and hawks that were larger than itself.
The Bluebird landed on Pei Jinye’s shoulder, affectionately rubbing its head against him.
To all the other birds, it was the only one that had the privilege of being so affectionate in front of its master, Pei Jinye.
The Bluebird had returned with its own guards.
It had established a “Vision” surveillance over the entire city.
Apart from spotting a gang of fierce bandits near Da Peng City, there were no other significant events.
Then there was a call from Gu Wutong.
Speaking over the phone about the events in the Western Continent, he seemed extremely eager to share.
Not to brag about his intelligence, but he was itching to go to the Western Continent and take action.
Pei Jinye chuckled, “Have you reached Third Rank yet? Without that, how many limbs do you think you have for them to chop off?”
Gu Wutong backed off.
“Damn it, just give me two more years and I’ll definitely reach Third Rank!”
Changing the subject suddenly,
he said, “But honestly speaking, that member from the Old Gods Association is truly powerful. He played the Federation Decision Office for fools. I heard that in a single night, the top ranks of the Western Continent Judgement Court were switched out, the higher-ups were furious, criticizing them for being a bunch of freeloaders.”
