Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 562 The sect is really cunning!
After hesitating for a while, Chi Jiuyu finally typed out a question.

The future leader of the Sword Sect: "Little Yunlu, could you tell me about the mission you'll be carrying out tomorrow? / Honest and straightforward"

My most respected junior sister: "It's the Ascension Messenger quest."

My most respected junior sister: "I saw you on the third batch of names, senior sister. You must have guessed it by now, right?"

Boom!

Although he had already guessed, seeing Zhang Yunlu admit it still sent a jolt through Chi Jiuyu's mind.

Little Cloud Dew...

As expected, they are also in the second batch of ascended envoys!
For a moment, Chi Jiuyu felt that the phone in her hand had become incredibly heavy, and her whole hand was trembling.

As the senior sister, she was only in the third batch of Ascension Messengers, while Xiao Yunlu, as her junior sister, was in the second batch...

Click!

Something seemed to have shattered within her, and its name was—

'The senior sister's authority!'
No matter what, Xiao Zhao is still two years older than me, but Xiao Yunlu is definitely younger than me, and she only became a disciple of my master halfway through her life.

Chi Jiuyu felt increasingly frustrated the more he thought about it.

Although she is usually unreliable, her competitive spirit is far stronger than that of ordinary cultivators; otherwise, she wouldn't have tried every means to win.

My most respected junior sister said, "It's a pity you cultivated too fast, senior sister. If you hadn't been exceptionally selected for the Nascent Soul stage, you should have been in the first batch this time."

Oh?
Upon seeing this message, Chi Jiuyu's gradually dimming eyes brightened again.

Yes!

The selection of Ascension Messengers is based on the Immortal Sect Grand Competition, and I was an exception to participate in the Nascent Soul group, so I was assigned to the third batch!
Luckily, Xiaoyunlu reminded me, otherwise I almost forgot.

Hey~
There's nothing I can do, what can I do when I'm so competitive?

After all, he carries the glory of being the number one genius in all the heavens and myriad realms, and the pressure he faces is something that most people can hardly understand.

He immediately typed it out.

The future leader of the Sword Sect: "Actually, it's also because I myself lack some experience and knowledge."

She started by saying something modest.

The future sect leader of the Sword Sect: "By the way, Little Cloud Dew, do you need any other talismans?"

The future sect leader of the Sword Sect: "While some powerful talismans are temporarily unavailable, some basic ones are still manageable."

Even if Xiaoyunlu doesn't know the talisman she needs, she can learn it!

Those basic symbols aren't difficult; you can learn most of them at a glance.

The future sect leader of the Sword Sect: "Using Divine Courier, it should arrive before 3 PM today."

My most respected junior sister said, "No need to trouble yourself, I've already prepared everything."

and……

The value of those basic talismans probably doesn't even compare to the cost of a single 'Divine Strategist Express', right?
Of course, Zhang Yunlu would never point this out.

She understands her senior's current state of mind very well.

It's nothing more than learning something new and being unable to resist showing it off to people you know well.

Her master had complained about this a few days ago when they were chatting.

My most respected junior sister said: "Senior sister, you can focus on your studies. I'm leaving for a mission tonight."

The future sect leader of the Sword Sect: "Alright, alright. From now on, if you need talismans, just tell me. Don't waste money buying them from outside."

My most respected junior sister: "Okay, senior sister."

The two chatted for a while longer before Chi Jiuyu put down her phone, took out a fruit from her storage ring, and took a bite.

Sizzle!

While chewing on a fruit, she glanced at her friends list, or more accurately, at the new nickname she had given Zhang Yunlu.

emm...

The note was changed before the Immortal Sect Grand Competition, inspired by the notes their master set for them.

She found it quite interesting, so she changed it to something similar.

On the other hand, it was also to commemorate that she was no longer the youngest junior sister in the Sword Sect's two lineages of 'Sword Master' and 'Sword Ancestor'.

She still remembers when the nickname was first changed, it was actually 'My most respected junior sister'.

But the master saw it.

Because their master told them to change the nickname to "My most respected Master".

So, her master ordered her to delete the word "most"...

Sizzle!

After taking another bite of the fruit, Chi Jiuyu stared blankly at the sky for a while.

o_o
Speaking of...

What was I thinking about before?

……

……

As night falls, mysterious lights intertwine across the sky, resembling countless colorful ribbons.

The white jade staircase extends upwards, passing through the clouds illuminated by mystical light, and connects to a small island that floats quietly high in the sky.

Then one could see a densely packed line of figures, like a migrating swarm of ants, ascending the steps paved with white spirit jade.

Some of them had already passed through the clouds and arrived on the island.

Then came a majestic and sacred golden archway, upon which were inscribed three powerful characters—

The Hall of Ascension!
The neatly arranged cyan jade steps form a long staircase, eighty-one steps in total, rising straight upwards.

The jade steps were surrounded by ethereal mist, with evergreen auspicious grasses and exotic flowers blooming like rosy clouds, resembling a fairyland on earth.

At the end of the jade steps stood a magnificent and sacred palace, its white walls radiating light, with mysterious runes faintly visible.

One figure after another entered the hall through the pale golden, semi-transparent light curtain shimmering with inscriptions.

Indeed, it was time for the second batch of Ascension Messengers to set off on their mission.

Because of this year's competition system reform, the Supreme Dao Sect achieved the best overall results in the Immortal Sect Grand Competition, and therefore had the most people becoming the second batch of Ascension Envoys!

But... "Isn't this a bit too much?"

Near the island, Chi Jiuyu was sitting cross-legged on his natal sword, holding a large, golden-brown roasted chicken leg in his hand.

Seeing this exaggerated scene, I couldn't help but mutter to myself.

Although the Supreme Dao Sect does have a lot of spots, there are already nearly a hundred people at a glance!

"Most of them are avatars," a voice came from the side.

Beside Chi Jiuyu, a figure resembling a young girl sat suspended in mid-air.

He was wearing cargo pants, an orange short-sleeved shirt, and a white baseball cap with two round characters printed on it: "Invincible".

Moreover, he was holding a large chicken leg that looked exactly like Chi Jiuyu's, and he was gnawing on it with relish.

It was Hong Qianqian.

"I don't know why, but cultivators of this generation seem to have a lot of insecurity..."

Dad is really having a headache about this.

“I knew it! There couldn’t possibly be that many!” Chi Jiuyu nodded.

But soon, she spotted a familiar figure in the group.

"Sister Qianqian, look, isn't that Xiao Zhao?"

“I saw it,” Hong Qianqian replied casually.

Soon, Chi Jiuyu squinted and looked at the opposite side again.

"Hey?! Isn't that dog... Xiao Zhao's brother over there?"

Hong Qianqian: "..."

Don't think I don't know what you're trying to say.

Ruoming and Ren Xiao are mutually in love, not just a simp!
If it's a few days later, you're probably going to give me a nickname too!

Thinking it over, Hong Qianqian glanced around again.

Besides her and Chi Jiuyu, there were also some disciples on the third batch of ascended envoys list around them.

But they were all manipulating puppets and avatars hiding in the shadows, quietly observing the situation.

To be fair, this trend should be changed if it can be changed...

"Tsk! Xiao Ye's sister still hasn't replied to me!" Chi Jiuyu muttered.

Hong Qianqian paused upon hearing this, and when she turned around, she found that she had taken out her phone.

"Xiao Ye's sister?"

"Sister Qianqian, didn't you know?" Chi Jiuyu looked at her strangely, "Xiao Ye's sister is Brother Zhao's online girlfriend, isn't she?"

"You know her?"

"I don't know her, but I know her sister."

"..." Hong Qianqian pondered for two seconds, then suddenly became interested, "Send me your friend, I'll chat with her."

"what?"

……

……

Not long after, in front of the Ascension Hall.

Zhao Ruohan had already walked up the eighty-one long steps paved with cyan spirit jade and arrived in front of the Ascension Hall.

Through the entrance to the Ascension Hall, a pale golden, semi-transparent light curtain with flowing inscriptions hangs down from above, faintly revealing the scene inside the hall.

The Taishangdao Sect member standing in front of her paused, seemingly considering something.

But after much hesitation, he finally mustered the courage to take a step and enter the Ascension Hall.

Tsk~!

It's like pouring ice water onto a red-hot branding iron.

The Supreme Dao Sect disciple in front of Zhao Ruohan shrank visibly the instant he passed through the pale golden light curtain.

Amidst the rising white mist, the person transformed into a wooden figure the size of a palm.

It fell to the ground with a 'thud'.

Zhao Ruohan calmly watched all of this, then looked up at the side of the Ascension Hall, her eyes flickering slightly.

After nodding slightly in response to the figure sitting cross-legged on the sword and waving at him, he stepped into the Ascension Hall.

I felt a cool sensation on my body, as if I had passed through a thin film of water, and suddenly my vision cleared up.

The interior space is much larger than what can be seen from the outside.

The hall was spacious and bright.

The surrounding walls are engraved with scenes of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, grass and trees, and record the pioneering deeds of our ancestors who overcame all difficulties and obstacles.

The magnificent sound of the Dao echoes, expounding the ultimate truth of the Great Dao and manifesting countless scenes of birth, death, rise and fall in the world.

In the very center stands a magnificent and sacred golden-white building.

It was a building that resembled an altar, standing dozens of feet tall, suspended above a ground paved with spirit jade, with layers of steps leading up to the top of the altar.

Each step is adorned with magnificent, star-like patterns, and mysterious golden runes flicker on all four sides of the altar.

Since this was the first time Zhao Ruohan had entered the Ascension Hall since its completion, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

She only snapped back to reality when she heard another 'whoosh' behind her and a paper figure fluttered down.

But he found himself surrounded by a jumble of random 'miscellaneous items'.

Paper figures, wooden figures, copper balls, gold beans, etc...

Clearly, the detection mechanism before the Ascension Hall caused many people's incarnation methods to fail.

Having understood this, Zhao Ruohan looked up at the high place and nodded to Cheng Junming, who had a calm expression on his face.

Then, under the watchful eyes of many Supreme Masters of Profound Realm and a Daoist Master of the Cave of Truth, they arrived at the side of the Ascension Hall.

Besides her, four other people have already arrived.

Everyone looked utterly hopeless.

The sects are really cunning!
They even specifically mentioned that they could use the incarnation technique, and then this whole thing happened in front of the Ascension Hall!
