Chapter 1068: Chapter 60: Ten Years – Part 2 Chapter 1068: Chapter 60: Ten Years – Part 2 The cultivator with the long face shook his head.
Only then did Wang Ba sowhat relax his heart.
The long-faced cultivator then added,
“As for the south…
alas, the terrain there is quite low, and two years ago the first wave of sea water finally breached the seaside dykes of several small countries in the south.
Now, that area has turned into a vast marsh.
As if it weren’t enough that their houses leaked, they also faced continuous downpours, as nurous Demonic Beasts from the sea took advantage of the chaos to create havoc, resulting in the deaths of many mortals.
The Three Sects and One Clan have dispatched quite a few cultivators to provide disaster relief.”
Upon hearing these words, Wang Ba fell into a slight silence.
...
Before a great disaster, all beings are like ants.
Even they, as cultivators, in front of heaven and earth, are but slightly larger straws dogs, nothing more.
There isn’t much of a difference.
All he could do was to try his best to improve himself, and to offer as much help as he could to the Sect.
After all, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken, and he and the Wanxiang Sect were actually in a relationship where both prospered and suffered together.

The better the Wanxiang Sect did, the more he, as a mber, could enjoy the benefits.
These thoughts flashed through his mind and then disappeared; he imdiately asked curiously,
“What about the West?”
While the two were talking, they could already see the three clusters of halls floating in mid-air.
The long-faced cultivator took one glance and said,
“The West is the West Sea Country.
During the ten years of your seclusion, there have been many battles there, with casualties including those at the Immortal Ascension stage.”
“Immortal Ascensions have fallen?”
Wang Ba showed a look of surprise.
The long-faced cultivator’s voice grew lower, and he said in a low tone,
“Four Immortal Ascensions from the Three Continents secretly used the geographical position to sneak into the borders of Jin, and Elder Xian Yu from Jinhuang Peak, to protect the multitude of mortals and the young cultivators from the Three Sects and One Clan, faced the combined attack of the four alone.
Though he managed to slay two Immortal Ascensions with his Divine Skills, he unfortunately fell in battle…”
Wang Ba’s expression darkened.
Jinhuang Peak was where he studied the ‘Golden Light Nine Elents’.
It was also the abode of Martial Uncle Wei Rong.
In fact, although he had never t Elder Xian Yu, there were so karmic ties between them.
“I wonder how Martial Uncle Wei is doing…” Wang Ba thought to himself.
“…The Longevity Sect has also lost one, but the situation over there in the Three Continents is even worse.
The Immortal Ascension from Tupi Continent was thoroughly killed by Master Lv alone, and even now, the corpse of one Tupi Continent Immortal Ascension is hanging at the sea border of the West Sea Country.”
“The Longevity Sect has also destroyed more than ten cities in Heavenly City.”
“The cultivators from the Three Continents have suffered much greater losses than we have.”
Although the long-faced cultivator’s tone carried so sympathy, it was also filled with pride.
Wang Ba nodded.
He then rembered soone and asked curiously,
“Right, Elder Xumi is currently in the West Sea Country, isn’t he?”
“Indeed, he is.”
When the topic of Xumi ca up, a look of admiration couldn’t help but erge on the long-faced cultivator’s face,
“Elder Xumi is now unmatched in the West Sea Country, not only him but his direct disciple, Zhao Feng as well…
Chief Division Master, we’ve arrived.”
Wang Ba was taken aback.
Looking up, he indeed saw that Diwu Hall was before his eyes.
Although he was keen to find out about Senior Brother Zhao Feng’s situation, now that he had arrived at Diwu Hall, he couldn’t help but ponder the reason Ma Shengxu was so anxious to summon him.
He followed the long-faced cultivator into the hall.
Though he had not visited for ten years, there were, however, a few new faces in the hall.
When they saw Wang Ba, their faces showed surprise at first, then they all respectfully saluted.
In other places, there might be no need to bother about a Golden Core Craftsman like Wang Ba,
But in Diwu Hall, he held the highest position after the Hall Master and the Vice Hall Master.
With the support of the Vice Hall Master and the favor of the acting sect master, naturally, no one dared to slight him.
Gradually, Wang Ba recovered from his state of cultivation and, with a warm smile, responded to them all.
Soon, under the guidance of the long-faced cultivator, Wang Ba entered the hall where Ma Shengxu was.
“You finally ca out of seclusion, you rascal!”
“Oh, reached the middle stage of Golden Core?”
As soon as he entered the hall, he heard Ma Shengxu’s voice, tinged with joy.
Wang Ba looked in the direction of the voice and saw a figure that had grown sowhat thin among a pile of docunts.
Compared to his previous appearance as an old farr, Ma Shengxu now more fittingly bore the dignity of a Vice Hall Master.
Seeing Wang Ba, he imdiately got up with joy and walked around from behind the desk,
Stopped Wang Ba’s salute, and, unable to wait, grabbed his arm and pulled him over to the desk:
“Quick, quick, just as you’ve co, help deal with these things.”
“It’s just too much trouble!”
Wang Ba looked sowhat astonished at the mountain of docunts piled high in front of him, and asked in surprise,
“Vice Hall Master, are these from the Five Elents Division?
Why are there so many?
Could it be that Lou Yi and the others have been slacking off?”
Ma Shengxu repeatedly waved his hands and then pointed at a small booklet that was only an inch thick on the side:
“No, that’s what your Five Elents Division has to deal with right there.”
Wang Ba let out a small sigh of relief.
Then he asked in confusion,
“Then where did all these co from?
Why are there so many?”
Ma Shengxu shook his head and said,
“You may not know since you just left seclusion, but there have been quite a few battles recently in the West Sea Country, causing substantial depletion of various resources.
Moreover, the Longevity Sect has also greatly increased its purchases, the transactions in the Ghost Market have also increased significantly, and there are the disaster relief efforts in the south and extermination of Spirit Beasts… All of these have turned into the sheets of paper before you.”
Wang Ba imdiately understood.
The Five Elents Division was only responsible for the production matters of the twenty-five departnts; whatever the departnts requested, the Five Elents Division was in charge of providing.
What Martial Uncle Ma was referring to didn’t have much to do with the Five Elents Division.
However, the position of the Chief Division Master actually served as the Vice Hall Master’s right hand, and given his relationship with Ma Shengxu, he naturally couldn’t refuse.
Still, Wang Ba did not get flustered at this.
