A rebellious organization, initially formed by the Awakened Flesh to protect themselves, later evolved into a struggle for dominance over the world, advocating following the traces of the Mysterious Female Daoist and the extraterrestrial deities to the Stars, with the Mandate of Heaven belonging to the Awakened Flesh.

It is the best granary for Dao Chengyi, and every single person inside can bring him great benefits. This is also the reason why Dao Chengyi is here.

"You want me to join you and become a rebel?"

"How can you call us rebels? We follow the will of Heaven and the people, await the arrival of the gods, strive for universal harmony, and use the Blood Lotus to preserve life. What we pursue is the interests of the common people of this world."

"Martial arts are good, but they ultimately depend on natural talent and materials. Ordinary people, let alone successfully growing flesh, would be lucky to survive."

"But if we follow in the footsteps of the Daoist Master and the gods from beyond the heavens, and seek to be blessed anew, then even without martial arts, immortality will not be a pipe dream. And who else can guarantee that we can follow in their footsteps, besides those of us who were born with blessings?"

Traitors? No, no, no, that's an insult to them. They are an organized, goal-oriented, disciplined, and idealistic group, dedicated to the common people, not just one family or clan!

"So how do you handle the difference between those who have awakened meat and ordinary people?"

Dao Chengyi could not deny such a grand ambition, after all, there was indeed a foundation for success, but he hoped that what awaited them was not the sword of punishment from their ancestor, the Mysterious Female Daoist.

"The awakened meat is actually a blessing from the gods. It is a divine gift, predetermined by nature. But... in the end, the convenience of this blessing is only to make it easier to cultivate martial arts without the danger of mutation. We, the Blood Lotus, have our own wonderful Blood Lotus method to solve this problem, allowing martial artists to fuse with demonic beasts without any worries about their lifespan."

"In this process, only by making further progress in martial arts can one accumulate deeper divine blessings and change one's destiny. Our Blood Lotus Eighth Protector—Blood Dragon Wrath Vajra—is such an example."

Seeing that Dao Chengyi still seemed uninterested, the hall master knew that these words wouldn't fool him. It made sense; with his monstrous talent and the confidence to confront him, a fifth-level martial artist, he was no ordinary person.

“Our organization has all sorts of extraordinary channels, and we can even get our hands on martial arts manuals from famous sects. If you are interested, I can directly provide you with the inner sect true skills of the Mighty Bull Demon Sect and the Seven Strings Melody Sect.”

"Then there are all sorts of rare treasures from the southern border, or precious artifacts buried in the demon god region in the past, or special materials among them. If you have the ability, you can also get your hands on them."

As they talked, Min Hao watched as Dao Chengyi lowered his cup further and further down, and he felt a pang of jealousy. After all, he didn't even get that kind of treatment. How infuriating!

“I can get these myself. I only have two requests. If you agree to them, I will join you.”

"You said that as long as it's not excessive, I can consider it on a case-by-case basis."

"I don't need you to plan anything for me, nor do I need anyone to interfere with my growth. I can do tasks, but my information can only exist here, or be known by no one except your superiors."

"Secondly, if you are promoted successfully, guarantee me the position of the next hall master in Qingmang City. Two requests, agree to them and I will join."

Martial arts are merely a protective technique for achieving oneness with the Dao in the early stages. Whatever is needed can be trained in other people; the core is still the Gu Dao.

Dao Chengyi needed a stable environment for his research, and since this body was in good condition, he did not intend to give up this identity.

"...Hehe, everyone else is eager to make a name for themselves and reach the top, but you are an exception. Oh well, whatever you want, time will tell. Right now, I just want to make you my friend."

"Welcome to the team, First-Rank Blood Lotus. Although this rank doesn't have a nickname, I think your future will definitely not be so limited. Tell me your code name."

The hall master extended his hand and readily agreed. He didn't care whether Dao Chengyi was an undercover agent or not. After all, he was such a prodigy that even if he was an undercover agent, he would try to turn him into one of his own.

Only someone like that could rival the Daoist Xuanpin in the world, but the hall master immediately felt it was unbelievable, after all, that person was simply an insurmountable figure.

“Steal the sky, steal the sky, steal the sky.”

The last piece of the puzzle is complete. All that remains is to wait for the battle in Qingmang. According to the Mu family's plan, they will fight all the heroes and then stay behind to guard Qingmang.

In this way, one or two decades of life have passed.
