Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 564 I was caught by the fellow Daoist as soon as I entered?
Bie Xuening lowered her eyes and looked at a corner of the dojo. Her gaze pierced through the many obstacles and landed on Zhang Yunlu, who was walking towards the Ascension Hall.

In a sense, what Yuanjun just said wasn't wrong...

Over the years, she has only taken on two apprentices.

The eldest apprentice is quite mischievous and has an unusual way of thinking, so usually all you need to do is tidy her up and keep her from being so impulsive.

But this little apprentice...

Things are relatively normal for now, so she sometimes worries that she hasn't fulfilled her responsibilities as a mentor.

In Bie Xuening's memory.

A teacher should act like a master or junior disciple.

Of course, Jiu Yu was an exception; that rebellious disciple would start climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles if he wasn't beaten for three days.

Just as Bie Xuening was watching her little apprentice.

Suddenly, Yuanjun asked Xu Xing:

"By the way, fellow Daoist, I remember you mentioned before that Huo's disciple was also among this second batch of ascension envoys, right?"

"Ah."

Xu Xing turned his gaze away from the Hall of Ascension.

"I met him not long ago. His disciples will follow the second batch of ascension envoys and go to the mission world through the Sword Sect's ascension platform."

Yuanjun paused for a moment: "Then he..."

"They'll definitely sneak in too."

Xu Xing added what Yuan Jun was about to say.

He was absolutely certain of that.

He then repeated what he had said to his senior sister before.

"However, Huo values ​​his disciple quite a bit, so he shouldn't do anything reckless."

"Yeah."

Yuanjun smiled and did not continue to discuss the topic.

She only remembered that Xu Xing had a connection with her when he came out of seclusion, so she asked casually about it.

Looking back now, it's only been a few years since my brother came out of seclusion.

In just a few short years, so many things have happened one after another...

Xu Xing was unaware of the emotions Yuan Jun was feeling at that moment.

He had once again looked beyond the boundary, observing the boundless and infinite chaotic sea.

in his perception.

At this moment, in the vast and boundless Chaos Sea, the power of the Tai Xuan Immortal Net was like a series of delicate threads drifting in the wind.

Suddenly, the delicate threads formed from the power of the immortal net began to fall.

The seemingly weak and powerless thread, upon being touched, easily broke through the world's crystal wall system, which was enough to isolate the chaotic aura.

And the moment it enters the world, it analyzes its operating logic according to the world's most fundamental rules and deconstructs everything that exists within the world.

In this way, the ever-changing worlds were connected by the threads of the Immortal Net, establishing a stable delivery channel.

Meanwhile, the filtered world information is continuously uploaded back to the core of the Immortal Network through the Immortal Network Threads, and then fed back to the Ascension Messengers who are carrying out missions in the corresponding worlds through the Immortal Network Threads.

Compared to the first batch of Ascension Messengers, the second batch of Ascension Messengers had a much lower level of difficulty in their missions.

For example, the issue of 'language'.

The second batch of ascended envoys were directly transmitted through the Immortal Network, eliminating the need for them to learn on their own.

Speaking of which, the champion of the Golden Core category in this Immortal Sect Grand Competition is Liu Ming of the Supreme Dao Sect.

Because he didn't have the powerful learning ability of a Void Returner, it took him quite a while just to learn the completely different language of the mission world.

Furthermore, there's the environment of the mission world.

The mission worlds that the first batch of Ascended Messengers went to were mostly facing 'world' level disasters.

For example, Lin Xingyue's invasion of another world, Qi Ling's failed world advancement and collapse, and Xiao Yu's world consciousness being corrupted, etc...

At the very least, there are people like Zhou Kongming and Gao Wuwang, who even have to create their own mission objectives by hand.

emm...

To be fair, judging from the performance of the first batch of ascended envoys, the initial mission was indeed quite difficult.

Furthermore, the overall quality of the second batch of Ascension Messengers was actually inferior to that of the first batch...

The difficulty of the task naturally needs to be adjusted accordingly!

Of course, this would require some adjustment to the value of Ascension Points.

……

……

Not long after, the outer sect of the Sword Sect.

One after another, numerous sword lights pierced the night and landed near the Ascension Hall.

One of the sword lights was particularly bright, and the aura it emitted was stronger than that of the sword cultivators who had arrived before, attracting the attention of everyone present, and their refined sword intent was greatly shaken.

The sword light dissipated quickly after landing.

What comes into view.

A long sword, three feet and three inches long, with a clear, bright blade like a pool of autumn water, circled around the newcomer, then disappeared into his brow.

What a sword!

The sword cultivators were full of admiration.

He felt the sweeping, vigorous energy rising from all directions, and his heart trembled.

He's actually at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!
Finally, the sword cultivators began to look at the person, and there he was...

Forget it, looks and clothes don't matter.

All we need to know is who the person is.

In fact, when they sensed the presence of someone at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, they had already guessed that the newcomer might be Lin Changsheng!

Lin Changsheng ignored the strange looks from the crowd and stared intently at the ascension platform not far away.

Not long ago, after returning from the Hehuan Sect training, he completely adjusted his state.

After selling the "Lock Void Sword Technique," which could suppress the Great Teleportation Talisman, to the Transmission Tower in exchange for contribution points, and confirming that his mana could not be increased further, he began to prepare for the breakthrough.

The result was unsurprising: with ample preparation, he successfully reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm in just one attempt.

Moreover, it was a free family resource pool; I didn't spend a single penny of my own money.

What's even more gratifying is that the old man's son actually failed his breakthrough, and it just so happens that he did so in the cultivation room right next to his own...

Gee!

There's nothing more joyful than this!
"Senior Brother Lin? I remember there was a rumor on the Spirit Network that Senior Brother Lin seemed to have been 'emotionally scammed'?"

"It seems that's true. I heard that he was tricked into going to the Hehuan Sect for training."

"Is it really that bad? Senior Brother Lin doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be easily fooled."

"Who can say for sure about these things?"

The whispers from the side made Lin Changsheng, who was full of pride, freeze, and the image of that bright and ethereal figure flashed through his mind once again...

A few ripples appeared on the lake of my heart, but they quickly subsided.

One day, he will go again, to see for himself whether what happened during the Immortal Sect Grand Competition was true or false...

That's right!

After the previous 'anti-emotional fraud' training, he is no longer the person he used to be.

He can now take a few rumors lightly!
But soon, a lowered voice reached my ears.

"There are also photos circulating online of Senior Brother Lin and Yue Chongfeng of the Hehuan Sect coming out of the emotional fraud center together."

"Hiss~! Could it be that Senior Brother Lin..."

“Actually, I also quite like the Celestials…” someone suddenly said in a deep voice.

Ok? !

Upon hearing this, the surrounding sword cultivators immediately scattered, looking in horror at the sword cultivator who had said he 'liked celestial beings'.

Lin Changsheng couldn't hold back either and glared angrily at the group!

……

……

Before they knew it, it was time for the second batch of ascending envoys to depart.

A city adjacent to the Sword Sect.

In the suburbs, there is a villa community.

One of the villas has a quiet, enclosed room on the first floor.

The fragrance of calming incense filled every corner. Xiao Fan sat upright on the futon in the center, looking calmly ahead.

[Tai Xuan Immortal Network (Internal Beta Version)] [Name: Xiao Fan]

【Age: 21】

[Realm Level: Qi Refining Level 9 (Early Nascent Soul Stage)]

[Occupation: Magic Cultivator, Body Cultivator]

[Belongs to: Demonic Way]

[Foundational Practice: The Source of Confusion Has No Fixed Method (Supreme)]

[Supernatural Powers and Techniques: Chaotic Spirits - Beginner (Supreme), Bewilderment - Beginner (Supreme), Uncertainty - Not Yet Entered (Supreme), Paradoxical - Not Yet Entered (Supreme)...]

[Permissions: Ascension Messenger Type II (00:00:34)]

[Auxiliary Modules: None]

Ascension Points: 0

With only 34 seconds remaining, the ascension mission will begin.

Through the semi-transparent light blue personal interface, he could see a dark shadow opposite him, like an aggregate of endless doubts and confusion in people's hearts.

"My disciple, this mission will not be easy, you must be careful."

A bewildering voice seemed to appear out of nowhere in my mind.

"Yes," Xiao Fan replied calmly, then asked, "Master, have you assigned me any tasks for this world?"

Just like during his previous training in the Three Heavens, his master told him that if he had the chance, he should destroy the 'Ziqing Temple' that practiced alchemy.

Of course, before he could even make a move, Ziqing Temple was destroyed by the trainees of the Longxiang Qingtian Sect.

"This world... I cannot reveal it to you."

Fellow Daoists keep the identities of their disciples a secret, and he couldn't break that rule.

"Just follow your heart as you see fit as the specifics of how to do it."

Huo believed that his disciple, under his careful guidance during this period, had come to understand right and wrong in the world.

Should we act according to our 'heart'...?

Looking at his personal interface, a flicker of emotion crossed Xiao Fan's calm eyes at the "Uncertain" status in the "Spells and Supernatural Abilities" section, but it quickly subsided.

"Disciple knows."

Only when the mind is unmoved and the body is unsettled can one grasp the true nature of doubt.

I hope that I can successfully learn this supreme divine power this time.

"Alright, then I have nothing more to tell you. Just wait patiently for the mission to begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fan noticed that the dark shadow opposite him, which seemed to be an aggregate of doubt and confusion, suddenly disappeared.

Even the quiet room seemed much more spacious.

Xiao Fan quietly watched the countdown on his personal interface, watching it tick away second by second.

five four three two one!

Buzz~!

A buzzing sound came from my ears, and a seven-colored halo seemed to spread out in front of my eyes. My personal interface also began to change rapidly.

[Connecting to beacon... Connection successful!]

[The quest item, Ascension Platform, has been placed in your personal storage space. Please use it after the total progress of the three ascension quests reaches 70%.]

[This mission's world: Unnamed World 81 (Nascent Soul)]

[World type for this mission: Standard]

Standard type...

That is, a world of the 'round sky and square earth' type.

[Immortal power injected, coordinate calculation complete, initiating the cross-chaos sea boundary-finding process!]

[Please note! This mission has a time limit of 90 days in the Central Continent of the Tai Xuan Realm, which translates to 3 years in the mission world (without using time-space auxiliary modules). The mission progress will be calculated directly upon expiration!]

Because the difficulty of the mission to be carried out by the second batch of ascended messengers has been greatly reduced, the flow of time has also been adjusted.

[3, 2, 1, let the crossover begin!]

A flower in front of you.

With Xiao Fan's level of cultivation, he didn't notice anything unusual at all, and then he felt his vision suddenly brighten.

They found themselves in a dense forest.

The sunlight was bright, filtering through the gaps in the leaves.

There is a small stream not far away.

Beside the stream, several petite fox-eared girls were playing and frolicking, the splashing water soaking through their thin gauze, revealing glimpses of their spring beauty.

Xiao Fan remained expressionless and unmoved.

[Analysis of the world's common language is complete, loading...]

After the words "Loading complete" appeared on his personal interface, he felt the information flowing through his mind.

He continued to look at the fox-eared girls, a glint of inspiration flashing in his eyes.

Ok? !

However, the result observed by the supernatural power surprised him.

He couldn't even tell if it was a human or a demon!

From the perspective of bloodline, humans make up a significant portion of the bloodline.

But deep within the bloodlines of these fox-eared girls lies a special aura, faint as smoke, ethereal and illusory.

"..."

After a brief hesitation, he took out a mask without any gaps and covered his entire face before stepping forward.

Let's go up and ask first.

If you're human, then apologize sincerely, make amends, and then inquire about relevant information about this world.

If it's a demon, then kill it and extract its soul to see what happens.

……

……

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Mission World 81.

A faint gray light 'emerged' from the void, landing on the steep cliff and transforming into an ordinary-looking, gentle figure.

He stood there with his hands behind his back on the cliff.

The biting mountain wind howled past, yet it could not shake its form in the slightest.

Pingping looked in the direction where Xiao Fan was.

Even though they were extremely far apart, he seemed to see them clearly, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Indeed, you have truly mastered my teachings."

Clearly, Xiao Fan's choice greatly pleased Huo.

Seeing his disciple's appearance cause many fox-eared girls to scream in surprise, Huo nodded slightly and looked away.

My disciple still needs some independent space, so I, as his master, will no longer pay too much attention to him.

Since I've finally managed to get away, I might as well take some time to explore the world.

He should also try to minimize his own involvement, so as not to interfere with his disciple's training...

Thinking about it, Huo turned around and headed straight down the mountain.

The mountain road was extremely rugged, but Huo walked as if on flat ground.

Along the way, he also casually killed the man-eating tiger demon and its accomplice on the mountain, as well as the mountain god who was cultivating in seclusion in the mountain cave.

They ascended to godhood by receiving offerings from people, yet they allowed such man-eating monsters to run rampant; they deserve to die.

what?
Do even mountain spirits worship gods and offer incense?
Then they deserve to die even more!

What use are these strange gods?
Killing these demons and monsters took no time at all, and soon Huo descended the mountain and arrived at its foot.

After walking a distance along the road, he came to the vicinity of a small temple and paused in his tracks.

The temple gate was open, and the statues of the gods enshrined inside were broken.

Of course, these weren't the things that bothered her.

Instead, it was the tall figure standing in front of the small temple, carrying a crimson longsword on his back.

Confused: "..."

No!

He'd barely stepped inside and already been caught by this fellow Daoist?!

　I got home late today, so this is the only update.
