Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

Almost all of these newly ascended monks have encountered various difficulties on their path of cultivation.

Therefore, except Yan Yun, everyone cherished this rare learning opportunity and were unwilling to miss it easily.

The Brahma True Demonic Art that Yan Yun practiced is a technique of cultivating both the Dharma and the body.

Although there were many doubts during the practice, since this method was unprecedented and no one had ever tried it, he had no intention of exploring it and just watched from the sidelines.

About an hour later, everyone had finished their questioning, and some people used their exclusive information to exchange some elixirs with Zhao Wugui and the others.

In this way, all the procedures of this gathering have been completed.

At this time, the monk surnamed Wen coughed lightly, slowly stood up and said:

"The trivial matters are over. The two of us have brought some instructions from Elder Lei Luo. Please listen carefully."

When Yan Yun and the others heard this, they were startled and their expressions suddenly became serious and solemn.

There are five human elders in Tianyuan City, and Master Lei Luo and Zen Master Jin Yue are two of them.

Both of them are combined cultivators with unfathomable magical powers, and they are also people who have ascended to heaven.

However, Zen Master Jin Yue never cared about external affairs and practiced in seclusion for many years.

Therefore, Master Lei Luo became the leader of the many ascended monks in Tianyuan City, and his prestige among the ascended monks was extremely high and no one could match him.

Since Yan Yun arrived in Tianyuan City, he has never met the two elders, Lei Luo and Zhao Wugui.

Although I have participated in many preaching activities in Tianguang Hall, I have only seen the other three elders.

According to reliable intelligence analysis, there is more than a 60% chance that Tianyuan City will be attacked by alien races in the next ten years, and more than 20% of these situations will involve attacks by a coalition of more than three alien races.

Although the possibility is extremely small, the possibility of another war among the hundreds of races cannot be completely ruled out.

Zhao Wugui announced the news in the hall with a cold voice, making everyone present feel heavy-hearted. Some even showed fear on their faces at the mention of the "War of a Hundred Races".

Even though these monks were newcomers who had ascended to the spiritual world from various realms in the past hundred years, they had long heard of the legendary ancient war - the war of a hundred races.

This war, which almost led to the extinction of both humans and demons, is said to have lasted for ten thousand years. One can imagine how cruel it was.

Yan Yun, who had been sitting in the corner and rarely spoke, couldn't help but take a deep breath and smile bitterly after hearing the news.

The severity of the current situation is far beyond our expectations, and we must devise self-protection strategies to deal with it.

Once a war between alien races breaks out, not only will the mere Divine Transformation cultivators be hard to escape, but even the elders in the Fusion stage may perish.

A barefoot man stood up and saluted, then asked respectfully:
"The two elders must have had a deep meaning in telling us, who are still relatively inexperienced, about this important news. Such confidential matters are usually not disclosed casually."

Fellow Taoists, it is not easy to cultivate from the lower realm with thin spiritual energy to the present day and successfully ascend to the spiritual world.

Here, I would like to point out bluntly that although we are ascended monks serving as Qingming Guards in Tianyuan City.

It seems that we are highly valued, but in fact, when faced with danger, the Elders often consider sending us to deal with it first.

Although new ascended monks join every few years, we ascended monks make up the majority of the high-level monks who have fallen in Tianyuan City over the years.

In fact, our number is less than one-tenth of the high-level monks, and most of the local monks in the spiritual world only need to undertake more stable tasks.

After all these years in Tianyuan City, everyone should have experienced this.

Some fellow Taoists have been assigned to carry out high-risk missions many times.

Perhaps you don’t know, but this current treatment is the result of the unity of our ascended monks and the hard work of Elder Lei Luo.

It is said that before Zen Master Jin Yue and Elder Lei Luo entered the Council of Elders, our situation was even more difficult, with nearly half of them dying after taking turns.

In the hall, people's expressions gradually became unnatural.

Many of them have indeed felt some unusual atmosphere, especially in recent years.

Several monks witnessed other ascended monks die while performing extremely dangerous missions.

If it weren't for this, the turnout at the party would have been much higher.

Yan Yun stood there expressionlessly. Not long after becoming a Qingming Guard, he was sent to a dangerous place like Fuli Swamp.

There are three other teams that take turns guarding the Fuli Swamp with his team. Among them, except for one monk who is a native monk of the spiritual world, the other two are also ascended monks.

This had made him suspicious for a long time. Later, when Zhao Wugui took the initiative to invite him to the party, he agreed without hesitation.

Through his interactions with other people, he could sense that they were a little wary of the ascended monks.

For example, the attitude of Ming Laoguai and others who left his spiritual land after failing to obtain treasure that day is enough to illustrate this point.

With such a backer coming to him, he naturally would not refuse the invitation.

After joining this gathering, everyone did not encounter any other disturbances, and the team was not forced to assign additional tasks.

After all, patrolling the Floating Swamp is an extremely dangerous task.

Monk Wen said calmly:

"The reason why we are informing you of this news in advance is that Elder Lei Luo wants to preserve the vitality of our ascending monks and provide a way to protect them before a possible catastrophe occurs."

"Senior, does Elder Lei Luo have any ingenious plan that can help us leave Tianyuan City and avoid this war?"

A woman in a green palace dress and a veil asked with a happy look on her face.

Zhao Wugui's eyes flashed coldly, and he said grimly:
"The alien race is attacking the city. This is a matter of life and death for our race. Even if we have conflicts with other cultivators, we cannot shirk our responsibility in resisting the alien race."

"If anyone dares to flee Tianyuan City privately and evade the responsibility of fighting the enemy, even if the law enforcement team does not come to find you, we will personally take action and kill you."

When everyone in the hall heard this, their expressions changed drastically, and they were filled with surprise and doubt.

The woman in palace dress was quite courageous. After a moment's hesitation, she continued to ask, "So what exactly are you doing, seniors?"

Fellow Taoists, please do not misunderstand me. Elder Lei Luo knows that the responsibility of fighting the enemy is heavier than Mount Tai, and we should shoulder it with all our strength.

However, he also did not want to see all the ascended monks die in this disaster.

Therefore, after discussing with us, he finally found a method that may be able to preserve some of his vitality.

However, this method still carries considerable risks, so we have been sent here to convey this matter. I hope that all fellow Taoists will consider for themselves whether to participate in this plan.

The monk surnamed Wen spoke slowly with a smile on his face.

When the crowd heard this, they couldn't help but get a little agitated, and most of them looked puzzled.

When Yan Yun heard this, he frowned slightly, then narrowed his eyes, as if in deep thought.

"What exactly are the options? Please tell us clearly, seniors." Someone asked in a deep voice.

In the near future, Elder Lei Luo will issue a series of time-consuming and merit-intensive tasks. These tasks are not only extremely dangerous, but most local monks may not be willing to accept them.

However, for all of you fellow Taoists, after completing these tasks, you can not only make great contributions, but also retire with a clear conscience. If the war does not break out, you can return to Tianyuan City; if there is a war, with your current level of cultivation, choosing to retreat away from the battlefield is also a way to preserve the vitality of the ascended cultivators.

It should be made clear that according to our estimates, there is nearly a 50% chance that people performing these missions will die.

Whether you choose to accept these tasks depends entirely on your personal considerations.

After all, the possibility of an alien attack on the city was uncertain, and carrying out this mission was extremely dangerous.

It is impossible to leave Tianyuan City without taking any risks. Zhao Wugui sneered.

After listening to the statements of Zhao Wugui and another cultivator, all the practitioners in the hall couldn't help but gasp, and then each of them had a different expression.

The mission was half as risky as it was, which was truly daunting.

If they stay in Tianyuan City, the probability of facing an alien invasion is 40%, but if they are only facing an siege by a single alien race, many people still have the confidence that they can overcome the difficulties.

However, upon reflection, it seemed much riskier to accept this assignment.

Such a matter of life and death cannot be decided hastily, and everyone has their own considerations and calculations.

For a moment, the hall fell into silence.

"Fellow Daoists, there is no need to rush to make a decision. These tasks will be released one after another within a year."

"It is especially important to note that once a task is accepted, those who already hold a position can give it up and hand over their original position."

“Therefore, even if you are a fellow Taoist who has fixed duties, you don’t have to worry too much.”

The monk surnamed Wen added at the end.

“Senior Wen, even if we can complete the mission, how can we solve the problem of the Dust-Extinguishing Pill? Without the Dust-Extinguishing Pill, even if we complete the mission, we may still perish in the two-color heavenly tribulation that follows.”

Yan Yun asked for the first time.

In the hall, Zhao Wugui said calmly and indifferently:

"My dear nephews, don't worry about this. Arranging you to carry out such a dangerous mission is really a desperate strategy."

"As you are about to embark on your journey, the Dust-Extinguishing Pills you need will be properly prepared. However, please be aware that these elixirs all have restrictions."

"Only if you complete the task perfectly can its effectiveness be preserved; if the task is not completed, the elixir will be destroyed by itself."

"I hope you will not abandon the mission and flee without permission. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous. I'm sure you will have your own thoughts on this."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yun nodded slightly and sat down again calmly.

Although everyone in the hall looked normal and nothing unusual happened, they were all smiling bitterly in their hearts.

The slightest bit of hope that had remained had now completely disappeared.

The young woman in the black dress showed no surprise at this suggestive remark. She said calmly:
"Since Brother Long already knows so much about the inside story, then it is natural that you should lead this operation on the human side."

During this conversation, Longdong did not deny that he knew more information.

After hearing this, the girl named Ye showed a hint of disdain at first, but then she thought of something and turned to look at Yan Yun.

Yan Yun had a blank expression on his face, as if he was unaware of what was happening around him, which surprised the girl.

Xiao Hong explained that the reason why they only sent Divine Transformation cultivators this time was because the Black Stone Forest was already under the cover of the Wood Spirit Clan's Tianmu Mengluo, and any being above the Divine Transformation level would expose their whereabouts once they entered.

The white-browed young man expressed his understanding, but then expressed his concern about the cultivation of Yan Yun and Ye Ying.

Long Dong smiled and assured that the elders sent Yan Yun and Ye Ying together because they had great confidence in their abilities.

He stressed that these two young monks would not disappoint everyone.

However, the white-browed young man still spoke coldly to them, saying that he would not help them if they became a burden in the subsequent journey.

"Humph, you are only one level higher than me, but you seem to think you are a Void Refining cultivator."

The white-browed young man showed his contempt repeatedly, which finally made the white-robed girl look gloomy.

"When you reach our level, a gap of one level means a huge gap in magical power."

The white-browed young man sneered and responded arrogantly.

The girl in white robe was slightly angry and was about to say something else, but Yan Yun interrupted.

"Since Fellow Daoist Long and Fairy Xiao know more about this mission, why don't you tell us the details. When Yan accepted the mission, he only knew the general situation and never thought that it would require multiple people to work together."

"If I had known this earlier, Yan probably wouldn't have accepted this mission."

Yan Yun said this expressionlessly, but he was indeed unhappy.

When he learned in Tianyuan City that this task required multiple people to complete, he vaguely felt that it was not easy and even had the idea of ​​quitting.

However, he was told that this mission was extremely important. Once he accepted it and understood the general situation, if he quit, he would lose the qualifications to accept other missions, and he would not be allowed to leave Tianyuan City within ten years.

Although he had important matters in mind and needed to leave Tianyuan City within a few years, he had no choice but to come here.

After about a month, he arrived at the designated rendezvous point.

However, what greeted him were not the expected ascended monks, but monks from the native spiritual world and members of the demon clan, which made him smile bitterly in his heart.

Obviously, the complexity and danger of this mission far exceeded his initial expectations.

Zhao Wugui and others had clearly stated that such tasks were usually only undertaken by ascended monks. Could this be an accidental mistake in task allocation?

However, before setting off, he did receive enough Dust-Murdering Pills as preparation, and was promised that he could leave Tianyuan City after completing the mission.

This is consistent with what Zhao Wugui and others said.

Yan Yun felt confused and doubtful about this.

"I will explain the specific details of the mission to Brother Yan and Miss Ye on the way." Long Dong explained with a smile:
"Time is running out, so let's set off as soon as possible."

"Brother Long is right. We are indeed pressed for time, so it is better for us to leave first. I can also share some relevant information on the way."

Xiaohong also agreed.

The white-browed young man and Ye Ying did not raise any objections after hearing this. Yan Yun pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slowly in agreement.

"Well, there's plenty of time to ask slowly on the way."

"Given the current situation, for safety reasons, it would be better for you to take my Lingyun Boat."

"This will not only save everyone's mana consumption, but also only require a few spirit stones as fees."

"Moreover, this boat has excellent ability to transform and conceal itself, which can help us avoid many unnecessary troubles on the way."

The young man with the blood mole smiled and gave an enthusiastic suggestion, appearing particularly enthusiastic. (End of this chapter)
