Chapter 179: Chapter 166, Wilderness Games

Tongtian immediately took the initiative, his tone displeased as he exclaimed, "Bai Jin, I entrusted the Jie Sect Outer Disciples to you out of trust. Now the Outer Door is in chaos, you cannot shirk responsibility. Do you admit your guilt?"

Both Duobao and Wudang were surprised and glanced at Tongtian. This matter didn’t have much to do with their junior brother, did it?!

Bai Jin bowed deeply and honestly said, "It is my fault. I am willing to accept punishment."

Tongtian nodded in satisfaction, feeling pleased inside. This was the difference between Bai Jin and the others; whether it was his fault or not, he would honestly admit guilt.

Tongtian said, "Duobao, Gui Ling, go back and reflect on yourselves."

Duobao and Gui Ling felt relieved and respectfully replied, "Yes!" and stood up to leave.

Now only Bai Jin and Tongtian were left in the great hall.

"Stand up," Tongtian said gently.

"Thank you, Master!" Bai Jin rose and sat cross-legged on the cushion.

With a long sigh, Tongtian said, "Duobao, Gui Ling, why can’t they just cause me less worry?"

"Master, now you see the downside of taking on too many disciples, don’t you? Look at Eldest Uncle and Second Master; even if they were to cause trouble, they couldn’t stir up much!"

Tongtian coughed once, a flicker in his eyes.

Bai Jin complained, "Master, the Outer Door is really hard to manage. If you keep accepting disciples without any restraint, I, as the Outer Disciple Leader, really can’t keep this up. Sooner or later I’ll either be worked to death or dragged down by them."

Tongtian’s tone eased immediately and said, "Alright! I will not take on more disciples in the future, but now you must quell this incident within the Jie Sect."

Bai Jin looked up and said, "Master, shouldn’t this matter be resolved by Senior Brother and Junior Sister Gui Ling?"

"Letting them handle it would probably make it worse; I’ll leave it to you."

Bai Jin pondered for a moment then said, "Master, where there are beings, there is strife. This is normal. To resolve the internal strife of the Jie Sect, one simply needs to introduce an external adversary."

"External adversary? Who? Start a war with the Westerners?"

"Ah! Master, you are a Saint now, you can’t just go around starting fights and killings. We need to promote harmony and set a new trend."

"Enough nonsense, tell me, what do you plan to do?"

"I plan to hold what is essentially a Primordial Ten Thousand Clans Sects Sports Event, tentatively named the Wilderness Games."

Tongtian said, bewildered, "What’s that?"

"It’s where I invite various great sects and powerful forces from the Primordial World to select talents to compete in sports, to determine the Three Realms’ strongest, fastest, best swimmer, fastest obstacle courser, and so on, and to award honors and prizes."

Tongtian’s eyes lit up, "Sounds quite interesting, but cultivation must be prohibited, otherwise the competition would be meaningless."

"You’re absolutely right, Master. I plan to set the venue at the East Sea. When all the sects gather and the great powers compete, everyone from the Jie Sect will surely work together and fight shoulder to shoulder for the sect’s honor, making their petty squabbles insignificant."

Tongtian nodded and laughed, "Exactly! Bai Jin, you will be in charge of this event."

"Master, what about the other Saints?"

"Haha~ I will notify them in advance. They should give me this much face. Go prepare at once!"

"Yes!" Bai Jin stood up and walked outside.

...

In Biyou Palace, Tongtian was delighted. The idea of the Wilderness Games was excellent, and in the future, they could certainly hold it more often! Finally, there was something interesting amidst the dreary days.

Bai Jin made his way back to the Bird’s Nest, where Shi Ji stood tall and straight outside. He asked, "Senior Brother, what did Master say?"

"Don’t worry about it!"

"Eh~" Surprised, Shi Ji looked at Bai Jin. Shouldn’t this be a great opportunity to expel the Outer Disciples? Has Senior Brother changed his attitude?

Bai Jin stopped in front of Shi Ji and said, "Junior Sister, please go and invite Eldest Senior Brother, Senior Sister Wudang, Senior Sister Jin Ling, and Senior Sister Gui Ling."

"Yes!" Shi Ji replied and flew off into the sky.

Bai Jin waited in front of the Bird’s Nest. Shortly after, Wudang Saint Mother floated over.

Bai Jin stepped forward to greet her, smiling and saying, "Welcome, Senior Sister, to my humble abode."

Wudang Saint Mother dismounted from her cloud head and said with a smile, "If your Tao Palace is a humble abode, then our Tao Palaces are merely places of dirt and rubble." She gracefully walked towards Bai Jin.

"Haha~ Senior Sister is too modest."

Wudang Saint Mother asked, "Junior Brother, why have you summoned me here?"

"Let me keep you in suspense for a moment. I’ve also invited Eldest Senior Brother, Jin Ling, and Gui Ling. We’ll discuss it once everyone has arrived."

Wudang Saint Mother nodded and smiled, "Okay!"

"Please come inside and rest, Senior Sister."

"I’ll wait here with you."

Moments later, Duobao and the others also arrived one by one. Bai Jin led everyone to the main hall and they sat down, distinguishing between host and guest.

On the left sat Duobao and Jin Ling. On the right sat Wudang and Gui Ling.

Duobao asked, "Junior Brother, why have you invited us here?"

Gui Ling Saint Mother glanced at Lord Duobao, playing with a strand of her hair and said with a smile, "If Junior Brother is coming to discuss marriage, there’s no need, really. My relationship with Senior Brother Duobao is actually quite good, contrary to what the rumors suggest."

Duobao also looked at Wudang Saint Mother. Their eyes met and then both shifted their gaze.

Bai Jin, smiling, said, "Junior Sister, rest assured, I would naturally not believe in rumors.

Just now, Master issued an order. Contemplating in his tranquility, he has decided to host a Wilderness Games, inviting all the powerful forces of the Primordial World to participate, with the event being held at our Jie Sect.

Dear Senior Brothers and Sisters, at that time, our Jie Sect will host the event. Frankly speaking, the performance of our Jie Sect Disciples is tied to the reputation of our entire sect, and is also related to the face of our Master. In its current state, our Jie Sect is not up to par, so I hope you can help me manage the Jie Sect Disciples, let them understand the situation in front of our Jie Sect, and urge them to be cautious and prudent in their speech and behavior." He looked at Duobao and Gui Ling as he spoke.

Duobao asked with confusion, "What is this Wilderness Games?"

Bai Jin explained the concept of the games to them. Duobao and the others were all a bit bewildered. It was not difficult to understand the concept of games, but what they hadn’t considered was that competition could also be organized like this. In the Primordial World, competition is divided into Martial Fights and intellectual competitions, with Martial Fights being quite obviously a form of combat, while intellectual competitions were about debating the Tao. However, the idea of bringing together all the powerful figures of the Primordial World to compete for the first in various categories, as Bai Jin had put forth, was something none of them had ever considered.

A thought flashed through the minds of Duobao and the others – this wasn’t the idea of Master to hold some games! This familiar style was clearly Bai Jin’s handiwork.

Bai Jin earnestly looked at his Senior Sisters and Brothers and said, "Now, I need your help."

Wudang Saint Mother glanced over at Duobao, Jin Ling, and Gui Ling, and said with a smile, "Since it is our Jie Sect’s matter, we naturally should not refuse. Just tell us what you need from us, Junior Brother."

Duobao, Jin Ling, and Gui Ling also nodded in silence.

"Then I shall speak frankly! I would like Senior Sister to educate our Jie Sect Disciples, let them know what it means to be warm and hospitable, what it means to be humble and polite, and select some staff as working personnel to entertain the representatives from the powerful forces of the Primordial World."

Wudang Saint Mother nodded and said with a smile, "Good!"
