Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 597 The Realm of Primordial Truth: The Great Universe of the Military World
With his mind focused, Xu Xing rose from the center of the meditation hall and walked outside.

The thought that gave rise to Luo Tian was merely a glimpse of the power of the Dao Source that he had glimpsed.

As for how far the true source of the Dao can go...

It is still unknown.

Stepping out of the Sword Ancestor's Hall, Xu Xing looked down the mountain.

Beneath the endless clouds, he took in all that the Sword Sect had to offer.

On the bench outside the gate, Chi Jiuyu and Lin Xuanxuan were watching the progress report of the first batch of ascended messengers' mission.

Inside a cave dwelling on the inner continent, Zhou Kongming looked utterly dejected after seeing the mission progress report.

In the accommodation area for the 'Immortal Sect Special Recruitment' contestants, Ye Zhiwei, who has already learned the 'Heavenly Net Sword Manual' under Chi Jiuyu's guarantee, is diligently cultivating.

"Creation and Foundation Building..."

Xu Xing's gaze lingered for a moment.

After all, this is the third new disciple of the Sword Sect to reach the Foundation Establishment stage since Xiao Yunlu joined the sect.

"The principle of concealment is the meaning of hiding one's heart and spirit."

At a glance, the truth she had grasped could not possibly escape Xu Xing's notice.

I guarantee she will learn the "Heavenly Net Sword Manual"...

To be fair, Jiu Yu has a pretty good eye for talent.

Soon, Xu Xing looked away.

In fact, once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you don't even need to participate in the 'Special Recruitment of Immortal Sects'.

You can easily join the Sword Sect by simply going to the local Sword Sect Comprehensive Service Center or filling out your information in the relevant section of the Sword Sect's official website.

Furthermore, they can enjoy a higher level of treatment than disciples specially recruited by the Immortal Sect.

The foundation of creation is still very valuable.

The reason this junior chose to participate seems to be that he wanted to achieve some goal through this 'Special Recruitment by the Immortal Sect', or rather, to increase his 'sense of security'.

That's right, this is a little guy who is extremely insecure.

As for why this is the case...

This is a matter of personal privacy, and Xu Xing did not want to investigate it.

He will naturally take care of things when the time is right.

After a long while, Xu Xing finally looked away, his eyes clear and bright.

After witnessing the myriad aspects of life within the Sword Sect, his heart, which had become restless due to his glimpse of the 'Source of the Dao,' calmed down considerably.

"Knowing is not easy, doing is even harder..."

With a soft sigh, Xu Xing walked down the mountain.

The power of Dao Yuan is unimaginable, and he is preparing to transcend with a heart that is "not detached from the mortal world"...

Transcending worldly concerns without being detached from it...

It is incredibly difficult to achieve this.

soon.

Xu Xing's figure disappeared into the misty clouds halfway up the mountain.

……

……

In the group "Whoever gets involved is a fool *only uses real names".

No one else sent a message, only one person's messages kept flooding the screen.

Gao Wuwang: "So I'm the only one who got all the Ascension Points?"

Gao Wuwang: "The 'Yin Yang Qi Gathering and Harmony Technique,' when did you start practicing the supernatural powers of the Harmony Sect? @Zhou Kongming"

Gao Wuwang: "I heard that the first person to choose to complete the task gets a reward, right? @Chen Xuanqing"

Gao Wuwang: "I've read your mission report. It's quite difficult. The idea of ​​the Thirteen Qi Luck Cauldrons is indeed excellent. @Xiaoyu"

Gao Wuwang: "If it were me, I probably wouldn't have a better solution either."

Gao Wuwang: "We two got the highest number of Ascension Points, how about we review the results for the others?"

……

Gao Wuwang tagged almost everyone.

Xiao Yu, in particular, received his special attention.

Meanwhile, in the group 'Whoever gets involved is a fool* Only use real name No. 2'.

Xiaoyu: "/image"

Xiaoyu: "/image"

Xiao Yu: "This guy is such a petty smug person/disdainful."

Chen Xuanqing: "+1"

Chen Xuanqing: "Ziyue, go and treat him quickly! @Ziyue"

Ziyue: "I don't understand what Sister Xuanqing is saying!"

Ziyue: "/Innocent"

Chen Xuanqing: "?"

Chen Xuanqing: "Didn't you already change your ways and cultivate your true self? Why do you still talk like this?"

Ziyue: "That's just how they always talk."

Xiao Yu: "Alright, don't make things difficult for Ziyue."

Xiao Yu: "If you can't stand his attitude, then go and confront him yourself!"

Chen Xuanqing: "Simp/Disdain"

Gao Wuwang obtained the highest number of ascension points, putting himself at a clear disadvantage.

Only someone who's had too much time on their hands would go looking for trouble with him at this time.

The protagonist's revenge is never too late!
Things change, and there will always be a day when you have the upper hand!
Xiaoyu: "You're so smug about being last place! / Disdainful"

The two were about to start arguing...

Lin Xingyue: "Old Zhou, what were you thinking back then? Why did you pass on this supernatural technique, 'The Mysterious Art of Yin-Yang Qi Gathering and Union'?"

Ziyue: "Fellow Daoist, are you planning to switch sides and join the Hehuan Sect?"

Oh shit!

It’s none of my business!
If you want to argue, then argue! Why bring me up all of a sudden?!
Zhou Kongming was speechless.

He had tried his best to minimize his presence, but he still couldn't escape it.

Zhou Kongming: "In order to increase the population and at the same time stimulate their interest in cultivation."

Since there's no way to avoid it, I might as well explain it properly.

But these guys can definitely see through it, and they're just saying it on purpose...

Lin Xingyue: "I see."

Lin Xingyue: "/thumbs up"

Xiao Yu: "Speaking of which, this mission progress report seems to be addressed to all the Ascended Messengers."

Xiaoyu: "It's no use even if we believe it @Zhou Kongming"

Zhou Kongming: "..."

How could I not know?!
Hey~
He finally understood why his master had told him not to care about what others thought.

Especially when thinking about the future election for sect leader, the junior grandmaster will definitely use this to his advantage...

hiss~
Headache.

Qi Ling: "Let's get down to business. /Serious"

Chen Xuanqing: "Aren't we talking about serious business right now? /Seriously"

Qi Ling: "It's obviously not/serious"

Chen Xuanqing: "Alright then / Seriously"

Qi Ling: "Kong Ming and I discussed this ascension mission before."

So it's called "Kongmingliao"?

The others in the group were whispering amongst themselves.

Qi Ling: "There's something you've probably noticed as well."

In the past, these things would have been said by either Zhou Kongming or Xiaoyu.

Although Chen Xuanqing always claimed to be the protagonist.

However, within their small group, Zhou Kongming and Xiaoyu were still implicitly considered to be the leaders.

However, Zhou Kongming only has 159 points now and just wants to minimize his presence and doesn't want to say much.

Qi Ling: "Each of us can redeem different items."

Chen Xuanqing: "I understand. So you mean we should exchange them, each taking what they need."

Qi Ling: "That's right, this way we have more options."

Lin Hsing-yueh: "Great idea / Thumbs up"

Ziyue: "Sure."

Xiaoyu: +1

Zhou Kongming: "#List of Exchangeable Items (Mission World 1)" Zhou Kongming: "These are mine. You can take a look and see if there's anything you need."

Qi Ling: "#List of Exchangeable Items (Mission World 4)"

Qi Ling: "This is mine."

Zhou Kongming: "I'll send another copy to the original group later."

Although Lao Gao's current appearance is very ugly...

But we still can't let such a small matter interfere with our important business.

at this time.

Ding Dong!

However, in the same group chat, Gao Wuwang was tagging all members again.

Zhou Kongming: "Let's wait a few days before posting it."

Xiaoyu: Agreed

Chen Xuanqing: "Agreed/Serious"

Qi Ling: "No problem/Seriously"

Lin Xingyue: "/thumbs up"

……

……

Two days passed quickly.

The issue of task progress reports has indeed sparked some discussion.

However, since the matter of the Ascension Envoys had not yet been made public, the focus of the third batch of Ascension Envoys quickly shifted from 'why the Sword Sect Ascension Envoys would teach the 'Yin Yang Qi Gathering and Harmony Technique''.

They then turned their attention to how each of the first batch of ascended messengers dealt with problems.

Of course, this does not include Chi Jiuyu.

Although she always regarded the current sect leader Du Ruoheng as a 'great enemy', she also knew in her heart that Zhou Kongming was actually one of her 'political enemies'.

Soap and dirt on political enemies.

She not only had to remember it well, but she also had to write it down in a small notebook!
At night, the moon and stars are rare.

Sword Sect Outer Sect.

The Hall of Ascension.

Because there are many people in the third batch of Ascension Envoys, anyone who has earned points during the Immortal Sect Grand Competition will be selected, so a long line has already formed outside the Ascension Hall.

Chi Jiu Fishing Raft was in the middle of the line, wearing a black outfit that he had recently ordered, and moved forward with the line with a blank expression.

Today, she is the most ruthless and talented person in all the heavens and myriad realms.

After queuing for a while, the first group of ascension envoys had already entered the Ascension Hall, and Chi Jiuyu also arrived in front of the Ascension Hall.

Looking at the pale golden, semi-transparent light screen hanging down in front of her, with its flowing, mysterious inscriptions, she really wanted to take a closer look.

But remembering the persona I was projecting today, I managed to suppress my impulse.

Since her political enemy had recently caused such a stir, she naturally had to perform well and cultivate an image of a ruthless and powerful number one genius in all the heavens and myriad realms.

And so, with a calm expression, she passed through the semi-transparent pale golden light curtain and entered the Ascension Hall.

As soon as Chi Jiuyu entered, she noticed that the atmosphere inside the Ascension Hall was a bit strange.

More accurately, it was somewhat 'suppressive'.

On the inside of the entrance, a figure stood quietly, even the Supreme Masters of the Profound Realm standing around seemed to have become mere background figures.

Martial Uncle?!
She almost blurted it out, but then she remembered her appearance today…

Be ruthless!
Be ruthless!
So she held back, her face tense, and bowed in Xu Xing's direction.

Xu Xing: "..."

What's this guy up to now?
Oh well, whatever this guy does is perfectly normal.

"Alright, hurry up and go up."

Uncle-Master, can't you be a little more serious?
Chi Jiuyu muttered something to herself, but on the surface, she calmly replied.

"Disciple, obey."

Then, step by step, they walked up to the central Ascension Platform located in the center of the Ascension Hall.

With each step she took, the steps, shimmering with a magnificent, star-like pattern, rippled with a dazzling halo of light.

Her personal interface popped up automatically when she reached the highest point of the Ascension Platform.

Lines of text flowed continuously.

[Connecting to beacon... Connection successful!]

[This mission world: Yuanzhen Realm - Military Realm Great Universe]

[World type for this mission: Multiverse]

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

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

[Specific mission details will be issued upon arrival in the Military Realm Great Universe]

Yuan Zhen Realm?
The vast universe of military affairs?
Or is it a multiverse type?

Chi Jiuyu looked at the flowing text, trying to extract useful information from the limited text.

However, before she could even begin to think about it...

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

She felt her body suddenly become light, and before her eyes flashed a series of light and shadow.

In a moment of distraction, a bustling sound began to emanate from all around.

My vision cleared up again.

[Arrived at mission location. Analysis of the Yuanzhen Realm's universal language complete. Loading...]

A line of text flashed across the personal interface.

Chi Jiuyu instantly understood the sounds around him that he couldn't understand before, but which kept coming.

them……

It seems like they're negotiating a price?

She seemed to have been thrown into a 'market' in the Yuanzhen Realm·Bingjie Great Universe, a market called 'Chengwu Realm'.

The Realm of Primordial Truth, the Realm of Soldiers, the Realm of the Crimson Wanderers...

They're putting nesting dolls here!

Chi Jiuyu muttered something to himself, glanced at his personal interface, and found that the tasks had not yet refreshed, so he simply began to observe the Chengwu Realm in front of him.

The road beneath our feet was very wide, as if it were paved with starlight, and it was exceptionally beautiful.

Looking around, figures came and went, each with various means of concealment, making it impossible to see their specific appearance.

High above is a strange celestial body that blocks out most of the sky, is orange-yellow in color, and has a ring of stars around its exterior.

If you look closely, you can also see the mountains, rivers, ice sheets, oceans, and the creatures living on its surface.

A vibrant energy poured down, pulsating like breath.

In the blink of an eye, a strange force spread out, maintaining the 'existence' of the entire Starlight Market.

Because of the close proximity, most people feel oppressed when they first look up at the sky.

Of course, as the number one genius in all the heavens and myriad realms, Chi Jiuyu, who was already able to pluck stars and seize the moon in the Tai Xuan Realm's starry sky, didn't feel anything special.

After taking a curious glance, he turned his attention back to the 'Chengwu Realm' in front of him.

This celestial body is actually a large orange turtle, which appears to have reached the level of a deity.

However, it was injured and its shell is cracked, so it is currently hibernating.

They're the kind of guys you can kill with one sword, so don't worry about them too much.

Immediately, golden light shone in Chi Jiuyu's eyes, and the starlight path before her was peeled away layer by layer in her vision.

Under the power of the Void-Shattering Golden Eye, all pretense became futile.

Her gaze swept past the figures constantly probing deeper into the Chengwu Realm, and she easily saw the truth hidden within it—

A sword!

The sword was covered with dense cracks, as if it were a long sword that could break at any moment.

Yuanbing: Ten Extreme Swords!
The moment Chi Jiuyu saw the longsword, its name immediately came to mind.

Because she didn't try to hide her gaze.

The sword spirit of the Ten Extremes Sword instinctively sensed the pure and exquisite sword intent of Chi Jiuyu.

Buzz~!

The sword trembled slightly, and a dense aura of malevolence spread from the cracks covering its surface, extending upwards continuously.

Ultimately, it transformed into a profound and ancient sound that resounded throughout the entire Chengwu Realm.

"Two hundred and thirty-seven years, I have finally waited for you, Sword Master."

The world of Chengwu trembled, and everyone stared in horror at the heights above.

Um? ? !
Chi Jiuyu looked around and finally realized that the broken sword was referring to himself.

clam?
