Shen Gongpao: Shidi Chen! Don’t get too cocky! Do you know how many Go masters are there? You better not lose the first round. That would be such a shame! 

Chen Xiaobei: There’s nothing for you to worry about, Shixiong Shen. You just need to prepare your wager and the reward for the champion, or you can just send them to me in private!

Shen Gongpao: You really are arrogant! I can guarantee that you will not get first place!

Chen Xiaobei: Hehe! Whatever position it is that I get, you will just have to wait and see! I have some things I need to attend to! Gotta go!

After he sent the last message, Chen Xiaobei exited the group.

Chen Xiaobei did not have to see to know that Shen Gongpao was mocking and insulting Chen Xiaobei with his posse.

Chen Xiaobei could not be bothered to get involved in their conversation, because his Sifu had just texted him.

The Prime of Tongtian: What is it? Is there anything urgent?”

Chen Xiaobei: I’d like to know who Ming He is.

The Prime of Tongtian: Ming He? I’ve never heard of him before. I’ve been poring over the Ancestral Lord’s sermon. I have no time to look into the future! What is so special about this person?

Chen Xiaobei: During the Duanwu festival, I joined the underworld for the Red Envelope Snatching Session. The first and last red envelope I received were from this Ming He! The first one was a Hundred Ghosts Parade painting, and the second one was Asura Divine Mirror!

The Prime of Tongtian: Is there anything else? These two are just normal Spiritual Items. It useless for you!

Chen Xiaobei: Sifu, you are really wise! Based on the system’s description, the Spiritual Items were rubbish! But after I used it, I realized that things were not as it seemed!

The Prime of Tongtian: What do you mean?

Chen Xiaobei: The actual use of the Spiritual Items are completely different from the descriptions! There are 48 Blood God Illusions in the Hundred Ghosts Parade painting and the Asura Divine Mirror can break all kind of seals that are below Earth God tier!

Chen Xiaobei: This means that Ming He is not only able to join or withdraw from the groups without getting noticed, but he can also change the descriptions of the items in the system! This person is really quite impressive!

The Prime of Tongtian: It seems like your understanding of the Void history is lacking! You already saw the Blood God Illusions but you still don’t know the answer!

Chen Xiaobei: Blood God Illusions? What does this have to do with Ming He?

The Prime of Tongtian: When the world first formed, the reincarnation system, underworld, and the Blood Sea were formed at the same time as well! I wonder if you have heard of Master Acheron before. He was born from the Blood Sea! He then set to cultivate himself right at the heart of the Blood Sea not too long after that. Using the extreme Yin Qi from the Blood Sea, he managed to create 480 million Blood Gods! After that, he made use of the quintessence of the Yin Qi to turn himself into Faceless Blood Demon! 480 million Blood Gods then turned into his clones. So, the Blood God Illusions that you saw from the painting are actually his clones!

Chen Xiaobei: 4… 480 million? That’s insane!

The Prime of Tongtian: Of course! Blood God Illusions exist because of the Blood Sea! Furthermore, every single illusion can transform into Acheron himself whenever it wants to! Thus, this is where the saying ‘The Blood Sea will never go dry and Acheron will never die’ comes from!

Chen Xiaobei: What about the Master Acheron’s strength? Is he strong?

The Prime of Tongtian: Of course! Acheron is one of the most powerful deity under the Heavenly Saint! His cultivation is even slightly higher than Rulai’s!

Chen Xiaobei: My god! How could he be so strong! This means his illusions should possess some really powerful abilities as well but I feel like the 48 Blood God Illusions can’t even beat Rulai’s thumb!

The Prime of Tongtian: That’s a long story! After the League of God’s war, Buddhism grew really strong and fast! King Bodhisattva volunteered himself to live in the underworld. He swore that as long as hell was not empty, he would never return to heaven to become a deity again! During that time, hell was occupied by Acheron and his Asura Tribe. Due to that, an inevitable war was about to happen! King Bodhisattva was not powerful enough to deal with Acheron. So, he had to ask for Rulai’s assistance. In the end, Rulai transformed himself into five Vidya-Rajas to defeat Acheron. In the end of the battle, Acheron was forced to retreat back to the Blood Sea to heal his wound. Because of the wounds on his body, the power of his illusions would definitely be limited! Besides, the law of Three Realms had also weakened his power by hundreds of folds!

Chen Xiaobei: Oh, no wonder. Is it safe for me to use these two items?

The Prime of Tongtian: Yes! Just use it! Don’t worry about it!

Chen Xiaobei: Do you think there’s a hidden motive behind it?

The Prime of Tongtian: No! Acheron is a very smart guy! In the two previous catastrophic events, he led the Asuras, dodged the Demonic Witch War, and eluded the League of Gods war! If King Bodhisattva had not entered the underworld, the Asura tribe would have been the most powerful force at that time!

The Prime of Tongtian: This time, Acheron went through all that effort to find you. I think it’s because the catastrophic event is just around the corner. He wants to look for a way to survive it. Or else, in his current condition, he would be killed instantly when the catastrophic event drops!

Chen Xiaobei: You’re saying that Acheron thinks highly of me?

The Prime of Tongtian: Acheron must have figured out what would happen in the future, so it’s not surprising that he does. But the future is not set in stone. It might change at any time. You will have to be extra careful!

Chen Xiaobei: I understand! People are unpredictable. Even if he is beneficial to me, I will still have to be cautious of him!

The Prime of Tongtian: Now that’s my disciple!

Chen Xiaobei: There is one more question I’d like to ask you. The group was talking about a Three Realms Mission again just now. It seems like Shen Gongpao was looking for someone from the underworld realm to attack me? Do you smell anything fishy?

The Prime of Tongtian: There are a lot of monsters and demons from the underworld realm! The thing you should worry about are the abilities that Shen Gongpao allowed them to carry down to the earthly realm. Shen Gongpao might even give them some Spiritual Items to deal with you! I cannot extrapolate anything concrete just yet. We’ll see later. We’ll have to play by ear.

Chen Xiaobei: I understand!

The Prime of Tongtian: Oh, right. If I am unable to get back to you in time, you can find a way by asking Acheron! He used to manage the underworld realm. If he is willing to help, whatever scheme Shen Gongpao hid up his sleeve will go up in flames!

Chen Xiaobei: I understand! Thank you, sifu for that tip!

After they chatted for a while, the Prime of Tongtian excused himself because of some things he had to attend to.

Chen Xiaobei put away his phone and began to contemplate over his conversation with his sifu.

He was surprised to find out about Acheron. He had this feeling that this was a noteworthy person, and had to be taken seriously.

Chen Xiaobei decided that he should go into seclusion and cultivate, when his phone rang all of a sudden.

The name on the screen read Xiang Yu.

The voice on the other end had Chen Xiaobei’s heart seizing up.

“Send Professor Lin’s entire research to America within three days, or Xiang Yu will be dead!”

The person on the other end hung up.

When Chen Xiaobei dialled the number again, the phone had been turned off.
